Innovative Public Advisors, RE: Village Administrator Search 23 Jay Shambeau and Jess Wildes from Innovative Public Advisors presented an update on the Village 24 Administrator search process. The position was posted at the end of September and received 8 25 applicants, which was in line with their expectations given the location of Sister Bay and the salary 26 offered. Of the 8 applicants, 6 had master's degrees. 27 Wildes reviewed the results of the assessment completed by elected officials and staff members 28 regarding desired qualities in a new administrator. The top professional competencies identified 29 were: 30 ● Community development and planning experience 31 ● Management and leadership experience 32 ● Comprehensive planning 33 ● Budget development 34 ● Grant writing 35 The top personal leadership qualities identified were: 36 ● Accountability and trustworthiness 37 ● Positive, open communication skills 38 ● Collaborative leadership style 39 ● Strong work ethic 40 White noted that "works well with residents" was ranked at the bottom of the leadership qualities 41 list, but she felt this should be a higher priority given the frequent calls she receives from residents 42 who feel they are not being heard. Shambeau acknowledged this point and suggested that this 43 quality might be encompassed within the "collaborative style" category as well. 44 The presentation was interrupted before the review of individual candidates could be completed. 45 46 6.
