10 PERSONNEL DIRECTOR SEARCH FIRM - DMG - MAXIMUS , <br /> INC . <br /> The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 26 , 2000 : <br /> TO : Board of County Commissioners <br /> FROM : James E . Chandler, County Administrator <br /> DATE : December 26 , 2000 <br /> SUBJECT : Personnel Director <br /> As the Board is aware , the Personnel Director retired effective the first week of <br /> September, 2000 . The Assistant County Administrator has been Acting Personnel Director since <br /> last May . <br /> Recruitment statewide for a replacement was initiated in October and resulted in a <br /> number of applications . However, the number of individuals with any degree of relevant <br /> experience was extremely limited. Two were interviewed , but neither, in my opinion, had the <br /> full background and experience necessary for the position. The limited response of individuals <br /> with any degree of relevant experience may be attributed not only to the economic climate and <br /> job market, but also the fact that the recruitment was statewide and not national . <br /> There is an obvious need to fill the position in a timely manner, and it is becoming more <br /> critical considering the amount of time the Assistant County Administrator must devote to <br /> Personnel in addition to his other responsibilities . As a result, I recommend utilizing the <br /> services of a search firm. I would recommend DMG- Maximus , Inc . , the firm used in 1997 for <br /> recruitment of the Utility Director . The services rendered were extremely satisfactory . The <br /> proposed fee is $ 15 ,000 plus reimbursable expenses not to exceed 55 , 000 . <br /> County Administrator Chandler stated that Assistant Administrator Joe Baird has been <br /> Acting Personnel -Director since last May and the situation is becoming critical . The <br /> responses to advertisements have been very limited and without the qualifications required . <br /> JANUARY 2 , 20M s t PG 06 Q 0 <br /> - 54 - <br />
