December 18, 2009 Mayor Stan Harpstead and City Council City of Arden Hills Arden Hills, MN Dear Mayor Harpstead and City Council members: On behalf of the Brimeyer Group, I appreciate the opportunity to submit a proposal to assist the City of Arden Hills in the recruitment and selection of a City Administrator. As a former City Manager I know that this can be an anxious time of transition, especially when the community is in the midst of development pressures. This is also a time for opportunity and thoughtful planning. Picking Arden Hill's next Administrator is one of the most important functions you and the council will undertake together. I trust that we have the process, skill and commitment to provide you with a quality search geared specifically to your needs. I will personally be responsible for the search with the assistance of James Brimeyer and support members of our team. Jim has twenty years experience in public sector management and has been involved in executive search since 1988. I have over 25 years of senior management experience in local government. I am also a Principal of Global Synergy Group, LLC, a network of Human Resource and Organization Development Professionals. Our group has had the pleasure of conducting searches for numerous cities throughout Minnesota and the region. Recent recruitments include the cities of Hermantown,Apple Valley, Kenyon and Newport, Minnesota as well as Canton and Aberdeen, South Dakota. The proposal includes biographies, client and reference lists. Samples of Position Profiles from similar searches are also included.
