SEARCH FIRM REPORT RE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR APPLICANTS <br />James Mercer of Mercer -Slavin informed the Board that they <br />had over 100 applicants and have screened them down to seven <br />candidates which they wish to present for consideration: <br />James Ch-andler;-Hollywood, Fla. <br />Gregory Fehrenbach, East Brunswick, N.J. <br />William Furtwangler, Charleston, S.C. <br />Dora Harrison, Clearwater, Fla. <br />Craig McDowell, Corpus Christi, Tex. <br />Alex Muxo, Jr., Homestead, Fla. <br />Carey F. Smith, Hilton Head Island, S.C. <br />Mr. Mercer advised that these applicants were screened down <br />based on the criteria they received from the county at the <br />beginning of the search process, and in his best professional <br />judgment, these seven are the best qualified of the group <br />reviewed. He continued that he would be glad to go over the <br />background of each applicant briefly if the Board desires as it <br />is the firm's commitment to work with the Board until the Board <br />is satisfied with the process. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that he would like an opportunity <br />to review additional resumes beyond the ones submitted as he <br />would like to compare the grouping we received with a sampling <br />from the rest of the 100. His other comment was that one of the <br />suggestions was that we have some kind of joint interview <br />problem- solving approach, and he, as one Commissioner, did not <br />particularly care to participate in that; he personally preferred <br />a one-on-one interview. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted that she had felt Mercer -Slavin <br />would put them through that process and then report to us, and <br />Mr. Mercer confirmed that they basically have done that and then <br />submitted the seven listed. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that he also would like the <br />opportunity for the Commissioners not only to cull down those <br />presented, but also to have the ability, when they review some of <br />the other resumes, to be able to add to the list of those <br />submitted if they wish. <br />NOV 151988 <br />19 <br />F'OOK 75 F {;[ .63 <br />
