Because <br />there are several options for you to consider, this information is being provided to you before the workshop so you <br />can review your schedules and we can determine what will work best for everyone. <br />Springsted's August 9, 2011 search update identified interview dates of September 8 and 9. My schedule has <br />changed since that time requiring me to go out of town on a family matter on September 9. Other dates for your <br />consideration are: <br />• September 7-8 <br />• September 13-15 <br />• September 22-23 <br />In reviewing these dates, please be aware that Forest Lake will be conducting city administrator interviews on <br />September 16 and 17; some of the candidates who will be presented to you have also submitted applications for the <br />Forest Lake position. Also, the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) is holding its annual <br />conference in Milwaukee on September 17- 21. Some candidates will be attending this conference as will I. For <br />these reasons, I encourage you to see if either of the first two sets of interview dates will work. <br />Generally, the interview process entails a tour of the city, usually conducted individually for each candidate. <br />Candidates should have an opportunity to meet with department heads and/or key staff. While these meetings are <br />not billed as interviews, feedback on the strengths and concerns regarding candidates and their fit for the City <br />Public Sectar Advisors <br />
