Title
Hiring Process for New MPO Manager (15 minutes)
Wendy Jacobs, MPO Board Chair
Bill Judge, City of Durham
Narrative
With the impending retirement of Felix Nwoko, who has been the DCHC MPO Manager for 27 years, the process for hiring a new MPO Manager will begin soon. Chair Wendy Jacobs will form an Executive Search Committee to guide the process.
In consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair, the City of Durham, as the Lead Planning Agency, is recommending contracting with an executive search firm, Developmental Associates, to conduct a search for prospective candidates. The proposed agreement with Developmental Associates is attached for the Board's review and comment. The funds for the search firm will come from the MPO and there is sufficient budget in the current fiscal year to cover the cost.
Board Action
Board Actions: 1) Establish an Executive Search Committee to guide the process for the hiring of a new MPO Manager; 2) Provide comment on the proposal with Developmental Associates; and 3) Authorize the City of Durham to enter into the agreement with Developmental Associates on behalf of the MPO.
