At the
conclusion of the agenda items, Council Member Ray Holt, whose
Council District includes the Jacksonville Port Authority and its operations,
introduced Louis Naranjo, Director of Procurement
Services, and Sheryl Williams, Manager, Human Resources, Jacksonville Port
Authority, to provide the Committee with a status report on the CEO search
process. Mr. Naranjo
reported that the process commenced on December 19, 2012 when the Port’s Board
authorized the Procurement Services department to issue an RFP for an executive
search firm. After the receipt and
evaluation of responses in mid-January, the Evaluation Committee selected Heidrick & Struggle and awarded the firm a $99,000
contract to help JaxPort find a new Chief Operating Officer. The process will entail a 90-day time frame;
it is expected that the process will be completed by the end of April. The Port’s Board would then proceed to interview
and ultimately hire the new CEO. March
25, 2013 is the closing day for the receipt of applications.
Mr. Naranjo and Ms. Williams fielded numerous questions from
the Committee members.
There
being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:49 P.M.
