Mayor Norris called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. All members of Council were present,
except Councilmember Gebbia, who had a meeting conflict. All members of staff were present.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss candidates for the position of Village Manager and to
develop a shortlist for further consideration.
The Village Council received comments from the public. Village resident Elizabeth Truong
endorsed applicant Cristy McKillop and provided copies of Ms. McKillop's letter of interest,
resume, and references. Ms. McKillop addressed the Council regarding her qualifications.
Because the job posting for the Village Manager position closed at 5:00 p.m. on December, 8, 2016,
Mr. Rubin advised that if the Council wished to consider Ms. McKillop's candidacy, it would
have to extend the deadline. Discussion ensued. The Village Council did not extend the deadline.
Each councilmember present named his shortlist of candidates. Mrs. Teal reviewed Councilmember
Gebbia's shortlist and provided Council with a copy of his email. A preliminary list of ten candidates
was determined, as follows:
Andrew Lukasik
Gregory Dunham
Caryn Gardner -Young
Julian Jackson
John Murphy
Louie Chapman
Sarah Hannah - Spurlock
George Korthauer
Mark Kutney
Thomas Thomas
By consensus, Council directed staff to begin background checks with the top five candidates
(those candidates shortlisted by two or more councilmembers). Background checks may be
extended to additional candidates, if necessary.
Discussion took place regarding contacting the candidates. Consensus of Council was that
councilmembers not contact the candidates directly; however, councilmembers may contact a
candidate's references and conduct internet research.
The next meeting was tentatively scheduled for the first week in January, pending completion of
background checks by Human Resources and the Police Department.
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
