MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Mayor's Office
DATE: September 9, 2008
RE: Director of Finance Appointment
I am pleased to announce that Shawn Hunstock, currently Assistant Finance Director for
the City of Auburn, has been selected as Director of Finance for the City of Tukwila. He
will be brought before the Council for introduction at your regular meeting on Monday,
September 15, 2008, at which time you may ask him questions prior to his continuation.
The following is a brief summary regarding the recruitment and selection process, and a
little bit about our decision to select him for the Finance Director position.
Waldron Company conducted an extensive search process for this position. After
interviewing department heads and staff regarding what they were looking for in a
Finance Director, the Waldron film worked with Administration to ensure that the final
candidates met the expectations and high standards this position requires. Initial
interviews, backgrounds, screenings, and discussions were held to narrow down the
number of potential candidates. The finalists for interviews were selected by the Mayor's
Office.
The second phase of the process entailed multiple interdepailluental panel interviews.
After consideration of all candidates, Mr. Hunstock was invited to a final interview that
was conducted by the Executive Team made up of myself; Rhonda Berry, City
Administrator; Bob Noland, Interim Finance Director; and Viki Jessop, Administrative
Services Director. Mr. Hunstock thoroughly answered all of our additional questions and
impressed us even more than he had during our initial interviews. The consensus of the
Executive Team is that Mr. Hunstock best meets the needs of the City in all areas of
consideration, including, but not limited to: municipal finance, leadership, financial
technology, values, consensus building, and customer service.
