COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 24, 1995 <br />Consideration of a Proposal from the Brimeyer Group, Inc. for <br />Recruitment Services in Filling the Director of Public Works/City <br />Engineer Position - Mr. Schumacher explained that the City has <br />used executive search firms in the past to fill its last two (2) <br />department head level vacancies. It has been a positive and <br />successful process. The Council has requested that a proposal be <br />obtained from the Brimeyer Group for the purpose of filing the <br />vacant position of Public Works Director/City Engineer. An <br />outline of the search process as well as a time schedule has been <br />prepared for the City Council to review. <br />Mr. Schumacher noted that he has spoken to several other metro - <br />area cities who have used the Brimeyer Group and all have had <br />positive results. He noted that the Brimeyer Group does recruit <br />personnel from the entire midwest area and not just the metro - <br />area. <br />Council Member Bergeson referred to item "B" on page 3, and asked <br />Mr. Schumacher to explain the fee. Mr. Schumacher explained that <br />five (5) candidates will be examined for $400.00 and if <br />additional candidates are to be examined, Brimeyer Group will <br />charge an extra $85.00 per candidate. <br />Mayor Reinert referred to page four (4), GUARANTEE and asked Mr. <br />Schumacher to explain the 18 months guarantee. Mr. Schumacher <br />explained that the guarantee covers all situations including if <br />the selected person decides to leave before the 18 month period <br />has lapsed. <br />Mr. Hawkins said it appeared to him that the only way the City <br />would get a guarantee is if the City terminated the employment of <br />the person. Mr. Schumacher will talk to Mr. Brimeyer about this <br />provision and get proper wording in the contract before it is <br />signed. <br />Council Member Elliott moved to approve the contract with <br />Brimeyer Group for $10,000.00. Council Member Bergeson seconded <br />the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a <br />regular meeting of the City Council on May 8, 1995. <br />Marilyn G. Anderson Vernon F.
