DISCUSSION
1. Review City Manager Semi - finalists and Select Five Finalists Colin Baenziger of
Colin Baenziger and Associates introduced himself and reported the process of narrowing
down the field of City Manager candidates from 108 to thirteen semi - finalists, including
discussion of a candidate that dropped out and one that was reconsidered. Mr. Baenziger
then proposed a process of Council members each choosing up to five candidates to
personally interview, with those Council choices also forming a rudimentary "straw poll" to
further narrow down the field of candidates. Details of various candidates' backgrounds
were discussed. Through the two rounds of the straw poll, the finalists were
narrowed down to John Berchtold, James Bursick, John Drago, David Greene, and
Cory Carrier, with Shane Crawford as the first alternate and Micky Webb as the
second alternate.
Discussion ensued and included contacting the finalists, the City's obligations for the
candidates' travel and lodging expenses, information to be provided to the candidates on
CD -ROM, the process of involving the alternates, the interview process and Special
Meeting on April 16 and concerns over interviewing Ms. Carrier on an earlier date due
to a scheduling conflict. Council reached consensus to hold a Special Meeting on
