4. Discussion: City Manager Job Description
Councilwoman Quillman stated she had no requests to revise the City Manager job description.
Mr. Jones, Interim City Manager, said someone had made the recommendation that being a Deputy or Assistant City Manager in a larger city was something to potentially consider for any update of the permanent job description.
Councilman Morris said that another council member wanted to make a change to the permanent City Manager job description however no other members attended the meeting today.
There was further discussion regarding the permanent City Manager job description.
Ms. Kathy Franson, Human Resources Director, said recruiting agencies or professionals will recruit for whatever the City requests. For the City Manager there is a requirement for a minimum number of years and there needs to be for that position.
Human Resources and the Legal Department will work on adding the new qualification of the number of years and similar size town as Joliet and bring the changes back to the Committee.
Ms. Spano, Assistant Corporation Counsel, said she was not a part of the process of drafting the job description but she feels it should include the word (and) or (or) because it is somewhat confusing the way it currently reads.
The description will be updated with adding the word or, as well as language about complexity and population. The title of Deputy City Manager could also be added to further clarify.
5. Discussion: Interim City Manager Job Description
Councilwoman Quillman said the Legal Department will have to write up the description and bring it back the Committee for review.
