FINANCE DIRECTOR INTERVIEWS
.
Interviews were conducted beginning at 7:30 P.M. with four
candidates for the position of Finance Director. Along with the
Council and Administrator, the interview team included Mr. Harlan
Syverson, Finance Director for the City of St. Louis Park and Mr.
Dale Eggenberger, Finance Director for the City of Minnetonka. The
interviews lasted until approximately 9:30 P.M. The Council then
discussed the candidates. It was agreed that Gino Businaro and
Darrell Straumann were the best candidates for the position. Since
both are C.P.A.'s with governmental experience, a salary commesurate
with their level of experience was discussed. Mr. Businaro indi-
cated a salary near $40,000. Therefore, the Council felt Mr.
Straumann would fit the City's needs at a slightly lower salary.
After lengthly debate, Mayor Rascop moved, seconded by Haugen to
set a starting salary of $35,000. Motion failed due to a split
vote. (Rascop, Haugen-aye--Gagne, Stover-nay). Member Gagne moved,
seconded by Stover to set a starting salary of $35,500. Motion
failed due to a split vote. (Gagne, Stover-aye--Rascop, Haugen-nay).
