SPECIAL WORK SESSION

CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
CALL TO ORDER
The Brooklyn Center City Council met in special work session and was called to order by
Mayor Myrna Kragness at 6 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Mayor Myrna Kragness, Councilmembers Barb Kalligher, Kristen Mann, Debra Hilstrom,
and Kathleen Carmody. Also present were City Attorney Charlie LeFevere and Assistant
City Manager Nancy Gohman.
Council discussed selection of an Acting City Manager. There was a general discussion
regarding appointment of an Acting City Manager. Assistant City Manager Nancy Gohman
stated it would be acceptable and appropriate for her to act as City Manager through June
26, 1995, and ask Council to select an Interim City Manager at the regular City Council
meeting of June 26, 1995. Staff is concerned that we need time to have signature plates and
signatures changed over on documents in an orderly and timely fashion by July 14, 1995.
If the Council can move along and appoint an Interim City Manager by June 26, 1995, we
would have the time to get the signatures changed over in order to conduct regular City
business.
Councilmember Mann discussed her conversations with the League of Minnesota Cities and
Humphrey Institute and brought forward two names of others who may be candidates for
Interim City Manager. One being Cam Andre, and the second being John Brandl. There
was a general discussion about requesting proposals from others to be selected as Interim
City Manager.
Through discussion it was a consensus of the Council for the Mayor to contact Cam Andre
and John Brandl asking them to also submit proposals to the Council for appointment as
Interim City Manager. The Council would then review the proposals from John and Cam
as well as the proprosal from Sy at a work session on June 19 and ask for interviews on
June 20.
There was a discussion with Sy Knapp about the Interim City Manager appointment as well
as asking for proposals from Cam and John. Sy had several questions regarding the timeline
and expectations of the Council, what are the Council's expectations for operations, and
what is expected of him as an Interim City Manager. Nancy Carlson also made some
comments regarding the recruitment process for a City Manager.
