BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Mark McCauley, Interim County Administrator
Sarah Melancon, Human Resources Manager
DATE: January 18, 2022
SUBJECT: County Administrator Recruiting
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
County Commissioner approval is requested to approve Prothman to initiate the recruiting process for
County Administrator.
ANALYSIS:
The recruiting process for a replacement County Administrator began in 2021. The County was unable to
hire a County Administrator at that time and determined to initiate a new recruiting cycle in 2022.
In the intervening time between recruitment cycles:
1.A new salary range was established, based on comparable counties and congruent with increases to
exempt staff salaries. The new range is $135,000 - $160,000.
2.The County Administrator job description was updated to include a requirement for advancing
diversity and equity in County operations, programs, services and workforce.
3.The advertising process will be expanded to include organizations, professional associations, etc., that
represent a diverse pool of applicants.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County has already contracted with Prothman to provide recruiting services. There may be an additional
cost of approximately $1,200 to expand advertising to a diverse pool of applicants.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Prothman to initiate the recruiting process for County Administrator.
