Sturgeon Bay’s Personnel Committee is looking at another step in finding a permanent full-time Finance Director. The committee will meet in closed session Monday morning for consideration of the post. The Finance Director’s duties have been covered on an as need basis by a municipal auditing firm since Valerie Clarizio stepped down in August. Personnel Committee Vice-Chair Barbara Allmann says finding the right candidate has been a challenge, especially as winter approaches.

The city has also hired a headhunter to find qualified candidates. Allmann says the city with help from existing staff has been able to stay on track in crafting the 2019 budget.
