<br />Personnel Decisions Inc. (PDI) has assisted the City in the past on a variety of hiring <br />processes, and was also very instrumental in this process. PDI provided an objective <br />review of the application material that each candidate submitted, and listed a score for <br />each candidate based on their background and experience. That information was used to <br />determine the nine candidates who were interviewed by the panels, on July 31. <br /> <br />At the conclusion of the interviews, Assistant City Administrator Melanie Mesko Lee <br />forwarded the tabulation sheets from each panel member for each candidate to PDI for <br />their review and scoring. The information from the background and experience ratings, <br />combined with the oral interview panel scores was presented to the Public Safety <br />Committee as part of a meeting they conducted on Thursday August 9, 2007. <br /> <br />Each of the three members ofthe Public Safety Committee (Ed Riveness, Danna Elling <br />Schultz and Barb Hollenbeck) are in support of the appointment of Mike Schutt as the <br />Fire and Emergency Services Director for the City of Hastings. With the retirement date <br />of Friday September 28,2007 for current Fire Chief Mark Holmes, a start date of <br />September 29,2007 is recommended for Mike Schutt. <br /> <br />Special thanks to City Councilmember Ed Riveness (Public Safety Committee Chair) <br />who spent a considerable amount of time assisting Staff with this process, and <br /> <br /> <br />zg in m~:~t the interviews. <br /> <br /> <br />David M.
