Is There Criteria For City Management?

Can you please find out the criteria the City uses to find new executive level employees? It seems very rare that they recruit new talent. They seem to always shift employees around.

My question is, do they actively advertise outside of Brownsville? Do they ever advertise on sites such as the Texas Municipal League, of which Brownsville is a member? Do they seek out talent from smaller cities, such as Harlingen, or Kingsville? Do they seek out top level assistants from larger cities, such as San Antonio, to fill the Director positions here? What is the process? It seems to me, that with there are very few "outsiders" working for the City. These people bring ideas. These people bring experience. These people bring connections to other cities, and other legislators. Most big businesses have people from different backgrounds.

Why does Brownsville not seek out the best? Why don't we taxpayers deserve the best? I think it's great that they consider existing employees when hiring directors, but.... do they compare them against a pool of outside applicants and then make the best decision??? Then, when they move these "insiders" up to the top, how do they fill the voids they leave at the lower level? Do they hire new, inexperienced employees to fill their shoes? Do they spend years training these new guys? Or do they go out to other smaller cities to recruit the lower level talent? Probably not, if they don't do it for the executive positions? Please investigate this process!!!
