Funding <br />At the December 8, 2006 work session, the City Council determined that the following dollar <br />amounts would be allocated to the city administrator search: <br />$18,000 executive search (position profile, location of candidates, etc.) <br />$ 5,000 expenses (advertising, background checks, travel for consultants) <br />$ 3.000 relocation expenses for selected candidate <br />$26,000 <br />In reviewing the executive search firm proposals, it has become clear that the search may cost <br />slightly more than anticipated depending on the number of out -of -state finalists the City <br />Council wishes to consider and which search firm (local or national) is ultimately selected. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that the City Council consider interviewing at least three firms. Staff <br />believes that the following four firms represent a good cross section of the firms that have <br />expressed interest in conducting Ramsey's search for a new city administrator: the Mercer <br />Group (national); the Waters Consulting Group (national); Personnel Decisions International <br />(local); and the Sathe Group (local). <br />With City Council approval, interviews with the selected firms will be held on <br />January 16,2007: <br />Attachments: <br />• A summary of each proposal submitted —under separate cover <br />• A copy of each proposal submitted —under separate cover <br />CCWS: January 9, 2007 <br />• Page 2 <br />
