City manager search could cost $35,000

The city will conduct a national search for a new city manager in response to the City Council’s Jan. 25 decision against promoting Interim City Manager Gus Vina.
Recruiting fees could cost the city as much as $35,400, according to Sacramento’s Human Resources Department. An executive recruiting firm will be hired to conduct the search. The range in fees is estimated between $27,650 and $35,400.
One of two recruiting firms may be chosen by the City Council on Tuesday night. The two Sacramento-based recruiting firms are Wilcox Miller Nelson and CPS Human Resource Services.
The Human Resources Department’s report on the city manager search, which will be presented at the Feb. 8 City Council meeting, is now available online.
Mayor Kevin Johnson said Jan. 25 that he hopes Vina will apply for the city manager job during the national search. Asked earlier this week if he would apply for the job, Vina said, “I don’t know. I’m keeping all my options open.”
City Councilman Steve Cohn said Friday that the national search is likely to take a few months. He said a new city manager will likely not start work before July 1.

It is critical to find someone well qualified to lead the City. Good first step on a long journey.

A different path for the City will require new thinking and new leadership.

Yep - a waste when we have a well qualified person already in the job. Mr. Vina is smart, well respected, staff trust him and residents like him, So of course we can't have that. As our former finance director, it's hard to fool him & we can't have that either. This Council seems ok with going backward to the days of Kerridge.
