# City of Griffin Board of Commissioners' Called Meeting November 12, 2026

At the City of Griffin Board of Commissioners’ called meeting on November 12, 2026, Mercer Group Associates LLC presented its proposal to conduct the executive recruitment and selection process for the city manager position. The firm described a roughly 90-day national search, including commissioner interviews to develop a position profile, recruitment and advertising, candidate screening and background checks, and support for interviews and contract negotiations. The proposed base fee is $18,000, invoiced in thirds; the firm estimated about $2,000–$2,500 for advertising, with possible additional background-check expenses. The schedule and salary range remain to be finalized, and the presentation noted that state open-meetings and open-records requirements affect the process and timing.

The commissioners asked questions about the recruitment outreach, candidate videos, schedule, and fees. The transcript records no motion or vote to award the work to Mercer Group; the firm was thanked and told it would be updated on the outcome. The agenda itself was approved, and the meeting adjourned.
