Brooksville City Council convened on March 29, 2025, to discuss the selection process for a new city manager, following the withdrawal of one candidate from consideration. The council unanimously approved the meeting agenda, which included a structured approach to interviewing the remaining applicants.

During the meeting, council members emphasized the importance of consistency in questioning the candidates. Each applicant will provide a brief introduction before council members pose the same set of questions to ensure fairness and clarity in the evaluation process. The council discussed potential questions, highlighting key topics such as the candidates' visions for the city, their approach to balancing economic development with preserving Brooksville's character, and their motivations for seeking the city manager position.

Council members also considered the format for a subsequent round-robin interview session, where they will have the opportunity to ask individual questions tailored to each candidate's background and experience. This approach aims to allow for a more personalized assessment while maintaining a structured initial interview.

The council is set to reconvene on April 7 to continue the selection process, with the goal of finding a candidate who aligns with the community's needs and aspirations. The discussions reflect a commitment to transparency and thoroughness in selecting a leader who will guide Brooksville into the future.
