As submitted by Laura Huffman City Manager Search Advisory Task Force Work Plan Austin is in the initial stages of ushering in a new form of governance. The success of the 10‐1 Council depends on a productive and trusting partnership with the City Manager. This partnership is the most basic building block of successful policy making and implementation. Our city is part of one of the fastest growing urban areas in the country. The opportunities and challenges associated with this growth must be identified quickly to ensure we preserve the special character of Austin and grow with grace. The selection of the next City Manager is the most important decision the Mayor and Council make. That final decision should flow from a community process that reaches deep into the community and broadly across the country. On April 13, 2017, the Austin City Council created The City Manager Search Advisory Task Force to develop and conduct a community engagement process intended to shape a candidate profile for the next city manager. The Mayor and Council recognize the importance of engaging our community in identifying the kinds of skills, abilities, experience and personal characteristics the next City Manager should possess. Gaining this input on the front end of the process is critical because it will inform the subsequent recruiting process, candidate pool and narrowing of that pool to semi‐finalists. The Task Force is responsible for the first stage of a three‐phase process that will be utilized by the City Council to select a new City Manager. In this first phase, the Task Force will independently collect public input and, based on the input, develop and submit recommendations to the Mayor and Council for the best profile for Austin City Manager candidates. The City’s selected recruitment firm, Russell Reynolds Associates, will provide the Task Force with support in developing the profile. In the second phase, Russell Reynolds Associates will use the profile to recruit qualified candidates for consideration. In the final phase, the Austin City Council will deliberate and select a new City Manager. Public Process for City Manager Search Advisory Task Force, Work Plan and Deliverables Our citizens have valuable perspectives on Austin’s opportunities and challenges. Citizen input will help inform the selection of City Manager candidates and better ensure Austin is a vibrant and livable city in the future. The Task Force will solicit the public’s perspectives on Austin’s needs and …
