A process that treats all participants with the highest degree of respect. <br />. Professional expertise in assessing and predicting candidates' leadership style, <br />problem solving capability, and other key characteristics. <br />. Local presence and frequent, open communication Vlith both elected officials and <br />staff. <br /> <br />\"'fIe have just completed the city manager selection for Eden Prairie, Golden Valley, and <br />Brooklyn Park, and I was very impressed '\vith both the quality and number of candidates. I <br />would expect a comparable applicant pool for Arden Hills. We are currently completing <br />processes for Bumsville and Savage. <br /> <br />\'V'ould you please inform your mayor and council that I, as principal consultant, will be <br />presenting results of the Bumsville city manager selection process to Burnsvillc's <br />mayor/council from 6:00 p.m. to approximately 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 17?
