10.d 11-15-22 To Council Re Interim AdminDate: November 15, 2022
To: Scandia City Council Members
From: Christine Maefsky, Mayor
As we are working to find a new city administrator we will need to have an interim
administrator to work with Brenda and Colleen to continue the work that needs to be done.
The last time we were in this position Brenda took on most of the administrator’s work; it was a
great burden on her. We should not ask that of her again.
The League of Minnesota Cities has a list of potential Interim City Administrators. I contacted
two of them, and then also contacted former Scandia City Administrator Anne Hurlburt. Anne
indicated she would be interested in doing that service for us; both Brenda and Colleen feel she
would be a good fit. She lives in Scandia and is familiar with many of the workings of the city.
Her fee falls in line with that charged by the other two candidates I spoke with; it is $70 per
hour. It would not be a full time job for her; the exact number of hours would be flexible
depending on what needs to be done at any given time. Anne would work that out with Brenda
and Colleen. I am recommending we offer the position to Anne Hurlburt.
Included is a brief resume.
