West Fargo moves three HR director finalists forward; city praises winter street crews

City Administrator Dustin Scott updated the commission on the HR director search at the Jan. 19 meeting, saying the city received 34 applications, extended six interview offers, interviewed four candidates and is moving three finalists into a second round of interviews tentatively scheduled for next week.

"Of the 34 applicants, we did extend an interview offer to 6. 4 accepted an interview. So we did interview 4 of those candidates. And again, we are moving forward with 3 finalists," Scott said.

Scott also publicly thanked the street department for responding during the recent rough weather, saying crews had kept streets in good condition and noting the morning conditions compared favorably to a typical summer day.

No formal action or vote was required or taken on the HR recruitment item; Scott said staff will engage the commission as details of the next interview steps are finalized.
