BACKGROUND:
I
As the Board is aware, Mr. Jornlin has announced his retirement
effective March 31, 1987 . Because of the stature of this
position, it is recommended that an executive search firm be
retained to recruit the best available candidates and present the
most qualified candidates for interview by the Board. This
recruitment should include announcement and active outreach to
organizations which may be in contact with' qualified minority and
women candidates. Finally, it is recommended that Mr. Jornlin be
retained on a contract basis to continue serving as Director of
Social Services until a new Director is recruited and ready to
report to work. This will allow all candidates the right to be
considered objectively without any candidate having the advantage
of being considered the "Acting" Director.
