After the departure of the long-time Human Resources Director, the City contracted with
Prothman for a not to exceed amount of $40,000 for an experienced Interim Human Resources

expertise does not exist within the City at this time. The City is initiating a search for a new,
permanent Human Resources Director this month, with the goal of having someone begin in
January. The Council is being asked to amend the contract to provide for a do not exceed
amount of $80,000.
