Re: [Mpls] MPLS Park Board Superintendent

Well if the process was flawed, than why was everyone criticizing Vivian Mason when she called it that, at the beginning. I guess according to Hauser the process is flawed only after you don't get what you want, and you want to railroad through a candidate. Maybe the two top candidates after dealing with some of these park board members decided the job wasn';t worth it if they had to work with some of them.   One good point is that the Minnesota Parks and Recreation Association, I believe, has their offices in the Park Superintendent building. So maybe they won't have to move, if Gurban decides to move in!!!   Lisa McDonald East Harriet   ----- Original Message ----- From: Marie Hauser Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 10:37 AM To: City of Minneapolis Subject: [Mpls] MPLS Park Board Superintendent   I want to publicly state how pleased I am that John Gurban has agreed to become the Superintendent of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation System.  Mr. Gurban is an extremely qualified applicant.  He actually lives in Minneapolis, unlike many of the candidates. John Gurban is currently Executive Director of the Minnesota Parks and Recreation Association, the state professional association.  Mr. Gurban is Unfortunately, the process left only less qualified candidates in the race.  The withdrawal of the candidates may have been caused by several of the Park Commissioners themselves (http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4269752.html) The process unfortunately became flawed.  Action was needed to produce the best candidate for the position.
