A task force made up of Mayor Troy Hill, Mayor Pro Tem Chris Czernek and Council Member Jason Shaw is overseeing the selection process. Council voted unanimously to have these individuals form the task force during a meeting June 6. The task force will work with Powell Municipal, a consulting firm the city is contracted with, to “guide the recruitment and selection process,” according to a statement on the city’s website. Powell Municipal, run by former Cedar Park Mayor Matt Powell, will accept resumes from applicants now until July 5, according to the statement. The firm may ask Leander citizens for feedback about the position, though details about this aspect of the process are not yet available, according to the statement. After resumes are received, the task force will review qualified applicants in July and conduct interviews with finalists in August. Application information is available on the city's website.
