Mayor: Bluffton narrows town manager search to 16 candidates
Bluffton Today
Bluffton Town Council has narrowed its search for a new town manager to 16 from an initial group of more than 60 candidates, Mayor Lisa Sulka said.
Council contracted Columbia search firm Find Great People on Jan. 20 for an initial retainer fee of $1,500, according to town documents.
The search began 16 days after former town manager Marc Orlando officially resigned Jan. 4. Orlando accepted the same role with the town of Hilton Head Island.
Scott Marshall, formerly deputy town manager, has served as interim town manager since January.
A contract between the town and Find Great People indicates that if the search is successful, the firm would make 20 percent of what the town pays its hire, less the initial $1,500.
