After a recruitment process that began with the hiring of a consulting firm in July, the City of Fernley could have a new city manager by next week. Mayor Neal McIntyre said at the Dec. 18 City Council meeting that three finalists for the job are scheduled to be interviewed by the council at the Jan. 7 meeting. McIntyre said a fourth finalist withdrew from consideration after taking another job.
The City Council voted July 16 to approve a contract with CPS HR Consulting out of Sacramento to assist with the executive recruitment of city manager candidates.
McIntyre previously said a total of 92 people applied for the position, and CPS HR narrowed the field to 14, before the screening committee organized by McIntyre selected four finalists for the job.
Under city code, the mayor will nominate one candidate to be the city manager, and the council then votes to either affirm or deny that nomination. If the nomination fails, the mayor can either nominate a different candidate or start the search process over again.
