Metro Flood Diversion Authority—November 16, 2017 2 Mr. Campbell feels this discussion is premature and believes the board needs to focus on the work associated with the Governors’ Task Force. He said it is important to provide as much <br />assistance to the technical team during this time, and feels the board should wait to begin a new Executive Director search until after it is known what the project will look like. He said the focus at this time should continue to be on communications and outreach. Mr. Mahoney said the salary and job requirements could be re-defined prior to moving forward with the search for an Executive Director. Mr. Redlinger asked board members to provide any comments or suggestions to him regarding the position profile. 6.
