WORK SESSION - Review Police Auditor Job Description <br /> <br />Acting Human Resources Director Alana Holmes gave a brief update on the recruitment process for the <br />police auditor position and directed the council to the Police Auditor Hiring Process summary document <br />included as Attachment A to the Agenda Item Summary (AIS). <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes noted that the summary was being brought before the council to determine their intent and <br />interest in the following steps of the police auditor recruitment process. <br /> <br />Interview with Mayor and City Council <br />Ms. Holmes briefly described the interview process for the Mayor and City Council regarding the police <br />auditor recruitment process as detailed in the summary document. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes, responding to a question from Ms. Piercy, noted that the candidates could be given a brief <br />history of the police auditor position as part of the recruitment process if that was the direction of the <br />council. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes noted that the summary under discussion was the same as for the recruitment process that had <br />been used in 2006. Ms. Ortiz noted that the process had worked well in the past. <br />Mr. Poling concurred with Ms. Ortiz’s assessment that the recruitment process used in 2006 had worked <br />very well. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling asked if any subcommittees were being formed to assist in the current recruitment process as had <br />been done in 2006. Ms. Holmes replied that there were currently no plans to have any subcommittee <br />breakouts to assist in the recruitment process. She noted that it did not appear that there would be a surplus <br />of candidates applying for the police auditor position and that no subcommittees would be necessary. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor commented that the previous recruitment process had worked very well except for the fact that <br />there had been two candidates who were clearly not qualified for the position. She felt it was important that <br />the council review the application, but hoped there might be some way to sort out undesirable <br />candidates earlier in the recruitment process this time. Mr. Poling and Mr. Clark agreed with Ms. Taylor’s <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council November 26, 2008 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
