And in the packet is a copy of the subscription request form, and this is new information and discussion item.

Involved here. We dont want like 12 people [multiple voices] theres also the winnowing process. You may want to use the Search Committee to reduce the number of candidates because the search firm could come back with six good candidates. You have to figure out how do you narrow that down, how do you most effectively narrow that down to the finalist [speaker not understood]. So, there are a few logistical things to work out. The logistics, obviously be in closed session, it will be done in such a way that we would not have candidates see each other. We went to Great Lengths the last time. We did them on 14 separate days. And they came in one door and went out another. So, the fortunate thing about doing it we do have Video Conference now, right . Fortunate thing about using a search firm is that takes care of some of the initial screening. We wont have to look at 14 candidates hopefully. One of the reasons i asked commissioner wan to work on this search aspect is because they, i think m

Its also been we looked at a couple other processes particularly in regard to a search that commissioner wan was involved with with the juvenile Probation Commission when she was commissioner over there. And they went through a search. But what i wanted to kind of share is where we currently stand in terms of the process. And several commissioners really wanted to be active in having this conversation here to talk about what questions we want to ask in this process and what we think were looking for as we go out there and try to find our next director to build upon the successes that melanie has delivered for the department. So, just in a quick summary and acting director osman can help me with any details that i might miss as i try to just be to the point. There was a look at using the search firm.
