THE MOTION FAILED.

public since the decision would be made by the City Manager.
Councilmember Stoner noted he felt prospective candidates would be more
comfortable with the support of the Council.
Jerry Oldani of the executive search firm spoke of the recruiting
specifications and noted potential applicants had expressed concern about
who they would be working for.
Councilmember Clarke asked if the process could be held until a new City
Manager is hired.
Mr. Oldani suggested the City go ahead with the next stage of the process
and eliminate the obviously unqualified applicants. After the applicants
have been screened to the semi-finalists, the City may prefer to wait until
a new City Manager is hired.

environment for a few more months. He suggested the process be -continued
to the semi-finals and then decide the next step.

Councilmember Horak suggested continuing the process to a smaller number
and then get feedback from the applicants. '
Cuuncilmember Stoner asked the selection firm to get the applicants'
reaction to the Land Development Guidance System and suggested the City
proceed.
Councilmember Ohlson noted he felt the selection process for the City
Manager was too long to allow the City to wait to begin this selection
process.
Councilmember Knezovich suggested the firm continue to actively recruit for
the Community Development Director position since a Director is needed as
soon as possible given the number of current and proposed planning items
scheduled.
Council consensus was to continue the process until the semi-finalists have
been determined.
Other Business

meeting expressing the displeasure of the Fort Collins City Council over
the recent PRPA action increasing the compensation of the PRPA General
