The announcement prompted several cries from the audience, from the familiar"Appoint Hayes now" to"Waste of money and time!"A few minutes later, Lionel T. Rush, president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance Of Greater Indianapolis, stood from his seat and walked to the center of the room to address board members directly.
On Monday night, a group of organizers, led by former library employee Stephen Lane, handed a petition to board members that has gained more than 1,800 signatures calling for Hayes to be named CEO.Twice during the meeting, board member Khaula Murtadha ― one of two members, including Patricia Payne, who voted for Hayes ― submitted a resolution to appoint Hayes CEO. Both times, the motion to add the resolution to the agenda failed.
Several community members questioned why, when the first-choice candidate declined the job offer, the offer didn't go to the next candidate in line, which would have been Hayes. Flanner House CEO Brandon Cosby said he's never seen a job search process have to start over in this scenario, which he said he's overseen hundreds of times.
Salinas did not address the topic directly during the meeting and could not be reached for comment afterward. In a press release, the board stated that one factor in their decision to start a new search was a"significant breach of confidentiality" that may have led to one candidate withdrawing their name. The trustees believe the leak was made by"a party involved in the search process with the goal of influencing the outcome.
