The Special Meeting of the Englewood Downtown Development Authority Board
of Director's on January 18, 1989, was brought to order by Chairman Walt
Tomooka at 12:06 p.m. Introductions were not necessary.
Chairman Tomooka complimented Mr. Platou and Mr. Coleman on the well defined
job description that was submitted to the Board for approval as a guideline
for selecting a new Executive Director. Chairman Tomooka noted that,
to date, the Board has received ten (10) resumes for the position. He
asked the Board if they felt that all ten individuals should be interviewed,
or did everyone feel confident that there were resumes that could be
eliminated foregoing any interview. There was general discussion as to
which way would be most effective. It was suggested that four or five
of the most qualified candidates be chosen for interviews. This was
discussed and found to be agreeable with everyone.
Dr. Gerardi' s letter was accepted . as his wi thdrawl from the candidacy,
but it is hoped that he will still be available as a project resource
person, should his services be needed. It was unanimously agreed that
Dr. Gerardi could better serve the EDDA in this capacity as opposed to
being the Executive Director.
Each Board Member was given a packet which included a copy of every resume
submitted for consideration and time was taken to read through them. Originally
there was a qualification on the listing regarding a Bachelor's Degree in
either Communications or Marketing which both Mr. Platou and Mr. Coleman
asked the Board to discuss, because of their own mixed feelings. Chairman
Tomooka commented that getting started up again will be the hardest part
for the chosen candidate, and it was his feeling that sometimes good,
solid traits in the long run, with proper guidance, tend to payoff as
much as an individual with vast past experience and a formal education.
Discussion ensued. It was agreed by all that this qualification be omitted
from the Job Requirements. It was then noted that some of the resumes
had been received as far back as September of 1988 when Ms. Dietrich
announced her resignation and that there may be a chance some of the
individuals would not be interested after this period of time. Based
on the job description five (5) candidates were chosen for an .interview.
Ms. Miller was instructed to contact each of the five individuals to
see if in fact they were still interested in the position and to schedule
each for a 45-minute interview. These interviews will be conducted at
a Special Meeting of the Board of Director's scheduled for January 25,
1989,from 12:00 noon until the interviews have been completed.
