Johnny,
I think we all need to review the job posting before sending out including the salary range.I think it could be posted here to comment to expedite issue. Felicia are you going to send out the job posting when its corrected? We need to revise the city manager contract as well. Items such as Termination or severance should be tied to number of years of service i.e. one week pay for each year of continuous service if at all. As for the insurance provided it needs to be same as all other employees. The contract should be beneficial to the city. Additionally there needs be a probation period to insure he/she fits in our city. No matter how good you interview and check references sometime people just don’t fit in.
We need to put the contract on the next agenda for review and comment, revise, then clear with legal.

Johnny,
I agree with looking for a City Manager with prior experience as city manager but we may need to go to plan B to look at someone like an experienced project manager with proven projects P&L budget experience.This could maybe allow us to choose someone from a larger group of personnel that would fit our budget. The other thing is without a budget for capitol improvement we will be looking at mainly budget control, contract management, personnel management and emergency repairs. Experience with developing grants would be a good asset but we will probably not qualify for most.

These are just my thoughts, We could go with the experience city manager with a salary range and see what resumes we get before going to plan B. What do you think is the best route for us?

Normal duties for a Project Manager are as follows but not limited to:

Management: Proven experience in managing project scope, schedule and P&L budget. Guiding and motivating directing project staff.

Experience in Developing Scope for Contracts and Contracts Negotiations: Excellent verbal and written communication skills for interacting with various contract bidders and local city representatives.

Experience in Rules for Sealed Bidding Contracts: Experience interacting with various bidders and clients for contract award. 

Problem-Solving: The ability to identify and resolve complex issues that arise during a project. 

Organization: Strong organizational skills to manage multiple tasks and project details.
 
Adaptability: Flexibility to handle changes in project scope, schedule, or resources. 

Flexibility to handle changes in project scope, schedule, or resources.
