My time in Breezy Point as Administrator is coming to a
close. I will retire on March 15th
of this year. The city council has been
busy with a search for a new Administrator.
A total of 26 applications were
revived. Twelve candidates were selected
for further review of which two dropped out.
The city council considered the remaining ten to consider as
finalists. Five Candidates were selected
to be interviewed. Of the five one was offered a job and another candidate
dropped out, leaving us with three. One
of the original ten was added to the mix who agreed to continue with the
process but later that day dropped out.
The remaining three were interviewed.
During the interviews two candidates stood out. There were both experienced and showed their
strengths. In consideration by the city
council one candidate was selected to make the offer to. This candidate was from Arizona but had
family in Minnesota. She grew up in
Minnesota attending college in St. Cloud.
The offer was made and after her discussion with family members they decided
to remain in Arizona, turning down the offer.
The other strong candidate was asked if he was still
interested in the position and he stated he was very interested. The city council held a special meeting to
consider the alternate candidate. A
motion was made to offer the position to Patrick Wussow. A contract was negotiated and considered by
the city council at their February meeting.
Patrick Wussow was be starting with the city March 12, 2018.
We welcome him and may the future of Breezy Point be bright
with his leadership.
