Saline City Council has approved a hiring committee as it begins a "comprehensive/nationwide"search for a permanent city manager.
Former City Manager Colleen O'Toole resigned at the end of January. Deputy City Manager Elle Cole currently serves as Acting City Manager.
Mayor Brian Marl called the committee a "talented, well-rounded group of staff, council members and private citizens. The committee is composed of:
Lesch made the motion to form the committee, seconded by Dean Girbach, and approved it unanimously. The hiring committee will consider proposals from search firms at its first meeting. The plan is to have a firm to recommend to council March 3 or 17.
The firm will work with the hiring committee to advertise the position, evaluate candidates, conduct phone and in-person interviews, and recommend no more than four finalists for interviews by the full council. Marl expects those interviews to take place in late spring or early summer.

Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
I’ll answer then - not everyone. As for the candidate, I agree that the onus is on her to make it to the meeting. Six other candidates have rearranged their schedules to attend, it is not a requirement to give special consideration. Giving her credentials and resume during public comment was a good idea.
