The city of Jacksonville will try again to hire a new inspector general.
A draft version of the job advertisement was obtained by FloridaPolitics.com, ahead of Thursday’s inspector general selection and retention committee meeting.
City Hall veteran Steve Rohan has been the interim IG for several months, as the city has searched in vain for a permanent replacement for Thomas Cline, who left early in 2016 amidst considerable criticism from the city council.
Among the requirements: working closely with the office of the state attorney on criminal investigations.
The committee seeks someone with 10 years of experience in an auditing or a business administration capacity, a person who can provide satisfactory regular and detailed reports to the city council and the IG selection and retention committee.
Cline’s reports were less than satisfactory during his tenure. The current council president and council VP both excoriated the quality of his output in a fractious committee hearing in Fall 2015.
Salary range: $120,000 to $160,000.
Professional certifications, such as “certified inspector general”, are preferred.
Certification would be required within 24 months after being hired.
Interviews, should this draft advertisement be approved by the committee Thursday, will begin in late March.
