City officials are still waiting for confirmation that they’ve got a new Park and Recreation director to fill the post vacated by Judy Judd’s retirement Friday.
The Shawano Common Council approved making a job offer after coming out of a closed session discussion Tuesday evening.
City Administrator Brian Knapp said Friday the offer is still pending, but the applicant chosen for the job has not had an opportunity to inform his current employers.
Knapp said he expects the agreement to be wrapped up by Monday.
The city initially received some two dozen applications for the position. Seven finalists were interviewed last weekend. Two of them were brought back for another round of meetings on Sunday.
There are 26 parks in the city overseen by the department, which is also responsible for Woodlawn Cemetery and the recreation center.
Judd’s most recent salary was about $63,500. The position was advertised with a salary range of $55,000 to $62,000.
