work towards acceptable growth in the community (this also includes the
issue of water). Must be a Team Management member /player.. Someone who
will get the job done and develop the product in a timely fashion. See

the illusion of establishing policy, an honest straightforward

facing redevelopment at this time. A good sense of humor, someone who is
confident and flexible, politically astute. Someone with visionary
skills, accessible to the Council, not a "yes" person, but someone who can
interpret the Council policy, someone who can say "no" in a positive way.
Someone who can "grow ". No agreement reached on how long, or if, a
commitment should be made as to the length of tenure. Someone who is
willing to be a risk taker, has experience with JPA's, who can reach
closure to issues. Someone who can work with management, being accessible
to all levels. Should have at least a B. A. in public administration
(Masters would be preferred but not required);.experience of over five
years, prefer.Western United States (again not a necessity); experience in
a growt'i community. Knowledgeable in personnel. With regard to the
selection process, the Management Team might have some input, but it
should be clear that they would not have anything to say in the final
decision. Consensus that there would be three groups of applications.
The first group being the best candidates that meet the qualifications,
probably 6 -8 persons. Group two, other qualified candidates. Group
three, all others. He suggested blocking out a Friday, Saturday or Monday
for interviews in the first or second week of February. There was no
final agreement on relocation assistance or housing assistance, but it was
something that the Council might wish to review later.
