Mr. Brimeyer served in public administration in four cities, three as City Manager, including his last position in St. Louis Park, Minnesota (pop. 45,000), with a budget of $28 million and 230 employees.

In January, 1996 Mr. Brimeyer began a four year term as City Councilmember At-Large in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. City of Clearwater Page Two The Search Process We anticipate the search for the City Manager for the City of Clearwater will take from three to four months (90 to 120 days) from the time we are retained to the time the City Council makes an offer. This is somewhat dependent on the time required to screen candidates, and the availability of the City Council to review consultant reports and conduct final interviews. We have prepared a preliminary timetable which corresponds to the various steps in the process. After further discussions with the City Council we will refine the timetable and develop a target date for the reporting of the new City Manager. PHASE I Position Profile A highly successful search begins with a thorough definition and agreement by the City on each aspect of the position to be filled. During this initial phase our consultants will meet with the City Council, Department Heads, and key staff to learn more about your goals and objectives. Critical factors to be determined include position responsibility and authority; reporting relationships; educational and experience requirements; personal and leadership qualities; management style, and organizational priorities. The listing of priorities serves a two-fold purpose: It assists the hiring authority in developing a consensus on what is important for the organization and it alerts potential candidates to the important issues of the organization. Of equal importance to the success of the search is identifying the community priorities and environment in which the City Manager must function. We would expect to meet with selected representatives from the community to further assess the climate within which the selected candidate will most effectively perform. This may be accomplished through individual interviews or through a public forum. Prior to our meetings we will supply an Ideal Candidate Profile Survey to assist the interviewees in assembling their ideas on what should be included in the Position Profile. This survey may be modified and approved prior to distribution to participating individuals. As a result of the meetings we will reach an understanding of the critical specifications of the position and we will draft a Position Profile. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the agreement of this analysis. Without this information, it is difficult to determine how potential candidates will affect the City's plans and organizational team. The final Position Profile becomes the document against which we evaluate prospective candidates. During the meeting with the City Council, agreement will be reached concerning the number of qualified candidates that will be interviewed before making a final decision. City of Clearwater Page Three PHASE II Place Announcements - Recruit Candidates After the Profile is approved, we will conduct a comprehensive program to contact candidates and determine sources of candidates. In addition to placing announcements in the appropriate professional and trade journals, we will identify potential candidates through personal contacts with public sector professionals and other members of similar organizations. In addition, we will use our research staff to identify comparable organizations from which key individuals can be contacted. Often we are able to identify candidates from similar assignments who may be appropriate for the position. We will directly recruit specific individuals with established patterns of talent, stability, and success. Review Resumes and Screen Candidates Numerous prospects will be screened against the Position Profile. From these individuals we will compile a broad list of prospects for the job. An initial confidential telephone contact will be made to promising candidates to determine their suitability and interest. After our research and sourcing is completed, several qualified candidates emerge for evaluation and comparison. Thorough, intensive, one-on-one interviews will be conducted with the leading candidates by our staff. Our in-depth evaluation and appraisal techniques will cover issues such as work experience, education, professional development and achievement, career objectives, accomplishments, suitability, and specific interest in the Clearwater position. Progress Report Following the screening and evaluation, we will prepare a Progress Report which will provide information on 10-12 candidates who have been judged to meet or exceed the requirements of the position. This Progress Report will provide specific information on the individual's educational and work history; accomplishments and growth potential; strengths and possible limitations. We will personally deliver and review these reports with the City Council. On the basis of this review, 4-6 candidates will be selected for further consideration. At this time we will propose a schedule for interviewing the candidates. PHASE III Background Checks Prior to the interviews, we will investigate the backgrounds of the most promising candidates through discreet telephone and personal reference checks. We will talk with peers and former associates of these prime candidates. It is our practice to speak directly with individuals who are, or have been, in positions to evaluate the candidates' job performance. We will verify the finalist candidates' credentials through an educational, criminal, and credit check. City of Clearwater Page Four Assessment (No additional fee) The Brimeyer Group has the authorization and the ability to administer an assessment tool entitled "The DiSC Behavioral Management System" designed to assist individuals in understanding their style and to assess the environment in which they operate most effectively. With Council approval, the finalist candidates will be provided with a questionnaire from which an extensive computer report is generated. The report is very specific and covers the following areas: 1. Internal motivation 2. Self-management strategies 3. Identification and management of conflict The City will learn insights into strengths, weaknesses, and likelihood of success for each final candidate before hiring and how to best manage and work effectively with the candidate. The above assessment is available at the option of the City Council. Client Interview and Selection Process The interview schedule will allow the candidates to get acquainted with the community and community leaders and visit with the staff on an informal basis. We culminate the process with individual and group interviews. Prior to the interviews we will provide the City Council with some helpful material on interviewing techniques and will discuss the proposed procedures to be used in the selection process including an evaluation form and a list of questions for possible use by the interviewers. Extensive material including background and reference checks will be provided on each candidate prior to the interview. If possible, all interviews will be scheduled within a period of one to two days depending upon the desire of the City Council. A consultant will be present at each interview. Selection After the interviews we will meet with the City Council to review the individual ratings and assist in determining the top candidate. The consultant will assist in this process to the extent requested by the City. We take responsibility for notifying all unsuccessful candidates at each stage of the process. Negotiating Compensation Package The Brimeyer Group, Inc. will take great care that the City of Clearwater secures an acceptance from the most desired individual. We will recommend a compensation package calculated to attract the finalist and will participate in the final negotiations. If any concerns arise in the final hour, by working as a third-party intermediary we can resolve important details of the offer which may have significant bearing on its final acceptance or rejection. City of Clearwater Page Five Additional Services A. If requested by the City, The Brimeyer Group, Inc. can act as a spokesperson with the media, when appropriate, in order to maintain the integrity of the selection process as well as to protect the confidentiality and privacy of the candidates who are not hired. B. Lifestyles, personal values, and dual career households are three of the factors that influence an individual's decision to change jobs. We pay careful attention to all circumstances arising from a job change including adjustments in compensation and benefits, spouse careers, real estate issues, family concerns, and relocation details. C. After the candidate is employed, we will follow up with both the City Council and the candidate to insure a smooth transition and satisfactory completion of the assignment. We will make contact to assess the fit from both the City's and the candidate's points of view. In the unlikely event that unexpected concerns have developed, this follow-up contact is intended to identify potential issues early so that adjustments can be made, if necessary. Work Program (Performance Evaluation) If requested by the City Council, we agree to assist the City and the City Manager in developing a Work Program after a six-month period which outlines the expectations of the City Council and the City Manager. The only cost incurred for this service will be any cost associated with a visit to Clearwater and other out-of-pocket expenses. The Work Program will contain objectives for the City Manager to accomplish in the ensuing 12-18 months. Guarantee If the City utilizes the entire process, Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III, as described, The Brimeyer Group offers an 18-month guarantee on the effectiveness of the City Manager. Should the City determine it necessary to terminate the City Manager due to failure to adequately perform the duties as specified in the Profile and as represented by the process, we will refill the position at no additional fee and will charge expenses only. We offer this assurance because of our confidence in the thoroughness and accuracy of the process. Should there be substantial changes in the political situation at City of Clearwater and a decision is made to terminate the City Manager for reasons other than failure to perform the administrative duties as specified in the Position Profile, this guarantee is subject to negotiations between the City Council and The Brimeyer Group. City of Clearwater Page Six Costs EXPENSES The Brimeyer Group, Inc. will bill expenses directly related to the assignment with the City Council's prior approval. Necessary expenses include travel, meals and lodging; long distance telephone; printing; credential verifications; courier service; and administrative expenses. Our expenses would not exceed $5,000 with approximately $2,000 to $3,000 estimated in expenses. This estimate does not include any costs associated with candidates' expenses for the final interview. FEE FOR SERVICE To complete the entire assignment, we propose a flat fee of $12,000. The fee includes the following services: Phase I Meet with City Council, Department Heads, and key staff Meet with selected representatives from the community Develop Position Profile Draft Position Profile Present Profile for approval Phase II Place Announcements Direct Recruiting Contact Sources Review Resumes Screen and evaluate candidates Prepare and present Progress Report Phase III Background/reference checks Administer assessment instrument (included in base fee) Schedule and coordinate candidates' interviews with the City Participate in interviews Develop compensation package Participate in negotiations Counseling Develop Work Program (six months after employment) City of Clearwater Page Seven PAYMENT Our payment policy on searches is one-third of the fee due upon signing this agreement; one- third after presentation of the Progress Report; and the balance due 10 days after the search has successfully been completed, whether the agreement is oral or written.
