The Dunedin City Council has confirmed Wellington-based recruitment consultancy JacksonStone & Partners will aid the council in finding a replacement for outgoing chief executive Sue Bidrose. "As you know, we are limited in what we can say while the chief executive recruitment process is ongoing," a council spokesman said. Last week, the council declined to say when the chief executive’s job would be advertised and did so again yesterday. Dr Bidrose, who was appointed to the chief executive role in November 2013, announced on Wednesday that she was to become the chief executive of Crown-owned agricultural research institute AgResearch next month. Last week the council’s chief executive appointment committee met in a public-excluded session.
