Gardner auditor search committee votes to interview six candidates. The City Council Special Search Committee for the City Auditor, chaired by Councillor Aleksander Dernalowicz, approved a motion to contact candidates CA1, CA2, CA11, CA16, CA17, and CA version 2-1 to request interviews and preliminary assessment questions, with the vote passing five to zero. Committee members discussed candidate qualifications including audit management, financial reporting, fraud detection, and municipal experience, with candidates referenced by resume identification codes.
The committee emphasized that candidates be informed in advance of the in-person requirement in Gardner, starting salary, benefits, and the municipal role's lack of flexibility. The committee will reconvene January 29 to review and refine interview questions before formally scheduling candidate interviews.
