Subject: selection of new manager
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the upcoming workshop due to my own work
obligations. I understand that a professional agency will be hired for the purpose of
recruiting a new manager. As I stated in an earlier communication, in my perception it is
of utmost importance that the board ,with input from the public , create a highly specific
and detailed description of the kind of person we are looking for to manage the pud.
Thus, I am very hopeful that there will be a future workshop designed to brainstorm and
create such a description. I envision this process as somewhast different from the normal
structure of meetings. My vision is one where the audience will break into small groups
with each group assigned an attribute area to flush out and come up with a list of
specific attribute statements. I see such a workshop as being dynamic and purposeful with
a concrete result. The result of this workshop would be the precise list of categories of
attributes and defining words/statements for each attribute. This document would then
be the guide utilized by the firm doing the recruiting. I am most
happy and willing to volunteer my help in structuring such a meeting.
Regarding an interim general manager; I suspect that this likely would be someone from
within. This, in my mind,has some inherent problems and potential consequences. Would it
not be possible, on an interim basis, for the Electric and Water managers to maintain the
operation of the pud
on a temporary basis, sort of as interim cc-general managers???? Or
something like that.
I submit to you these thoughts as a concerned rate payer and a
professional in the field of human behavior and relationships. I would
be pleased if this could be read into the minutes as I will not be able to present my
thoughts in person on Thursday.
Sincerely, Rolf Godon Ph.D.
