1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING • <br /> 2 FEBRUARY 22 , 1994 <br /> 3 PAGE 2 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Using a graph, Brimeyer walked through the selection process . <br /> 7 He noted his formal proposal would be more detailed. The first <br /> 8 activity is to draft a profile of what is desired in a city <br /> 9 manager. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Individual meetings would be set up with members, of the City <br /> 12 Council , members of the School Board, City staff, civic <br /> 13 organizations and community leaders. Items for discussion at <br /> 14 these meetings would include management style desired, <br /> 15 community priorities and future issues to be considered for <br /> 16 the City. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Brimeyer suggested this profile serves both the community and <br /> 19 the candidates . Many potential candidates would recognize <br /> 20 their skill level and management style would not fit the <br /> 21 community and withdraw from consideration. He also noted that <br /> 22 the profile would be a very good tool for resolving <br /> 23 differences between community leaders regarding their <br /> 24 positi.ons on what is desired in a city manager. It has been <br /> 25 found that a profile is a good recruiting tool for attracting • <br /> 26 highly quailfied candidates . <br /> 27 <br /> 28 The Brimeyer Group proposal includes negotiating the <br /> 29 compensation package and prepares an evaluation form for the <br /> 30 six month review. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Councilmember Marks recalled the last few city manager <br /> 33 searches which have been done by the City Council without the <br /> 34 aid of a search group. He noted these processes were very time <br /> 35 consuming as all the applications were reviewed and it took <br /> 36 some time to get consensus on the Council . <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Councilmember Enrooth inquired if the Group would be willing . <br /> 39 to perform - only certain parts of the search. Brimeyer <br /> 40 responded he is hesitant to do only parts of a search for the <br /> 41 position of city manager. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Councilmember Wagner felt . the presentation by Brimeyer was <br /> 44 very thorough as to the services which would be performed. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Brimeyer stated he could shorten the process by not using <br /> 47 announcements and limiting the applicants to a total of forty. <br /> 48 He thinks there are some very good and qual if ied candidates in <br /> 49 the metro area. He would concentrate on this area which would <br /> 50 be less costly and take less time. • <br />
