A ROYAL HILLS PLAY STRUCTURE: PARK FUND OPTION Director Moore indicated that due to potential budget cuts in the General Fund, he requested authorization from the Council to use money from the Park Fund to purchase a play structure for Royal Hills Park. He stated the play structure was listed in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as a General Fund item, but money from the Park Fund would be used to purchase the structure now, and be reimbursed from the General Fund at a later date. Director Moore stated the balance in the Park Fund was $546,000. He also stated the cost for the play structure was $38,000, including assembly and installation along with safety fiber. Councilmember Holden stated there are many violations with the current structure. Councilmember Larson asked why not pay for the structure out of the General Fund instead of the Park Fund, if the General Fund could cover the cost? ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY l8, 2003 2 . Staff was directed to bring this item to the Council Meeting on March 10,2003. The play structure would be purchased with money from the General Fund. ISD #621 Update 1. District Update; Financial Issues Superintendent Dr. Jan Witthuhn presented and explained demographic information in the Mounds View School District. Director John Maas presented and explained Financial Accountability. Deputy CIerk Young asked if the school board expected an election this fall for a special levy. Superintendent Witthuhn stated there would be a levy, but the actual language and amounts were not required to be made available to the public until September 2003. She further stated that the effects of a levy not being passed were serious. . Those effects were listed on the back page of the financial forecast packet. She added that vocational and technical programs would not be affected because the high schools were part of a network of schools, and vocational and technical programs were offered at those other schools. Administrator Lynch asked ifD.A.R.E. funding would end in 2003. Superintendent Witthuhn replied that the D.A.R.E. program was funded with Crime Levy money, and to her knowledge, funding would not change. The only possible change would be that the program would move to the middle schools. She added that the Student Response Officer (SRO) would continue as they are now. Councilmember Larson asked how the district could justify a levy with a drop in enrollment. Director Maas explained that at the peak of enrollment, which was beyond capacity, the district was forced to lease buildings to accommodate the enrollment size. He further eXplained that with the current reduction in enrollment, the number of students is at a more manageable number, but programs were still being . conducted in leased space. He then stated the district still needed to relocate those . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18,2003 3 programs from leased space back into district owned space, which would result in additional savings. He indicated the district would dispose of the building on Hamline Avenue. Administrator Lynch asked ifthe district was still considering developing athletic fields on TCAAP property. 2. Student Parking and Graffiti Director Moore stated the issues of overflow parking at Mounds View High School and increased graffiti generated an increase cost for the City. He stated students have taken down "no parking" signs. lIe asked what the school district could do to be proactive in preventing graffiti. Superintendent Witthuhn stated the district sends out the Student Response Officer to ticket vehicles illegally parked. She favored increasing parking fees to an amount higher than bus fare to discourage students from driving to school. She encouraged the City to post more "no parking" signs, if the City felt they were needed. Boardmember Grivna asked about parking on the telecommunication property. Superintendent Witthuhn stated the district previously visited this idea, but was discouraged because of the assessments. Superintendent Witthuhn responded to the issue of graffiti by stating that the worse incidents occurred during senior graduation. She stated Julie Wikel ius, Mounds View High School Principal, would be willing to work on solutions. She also stated the school could possibly revisit the idea of designating an area on school property to be used by students for graffiti. Councilmember Larson asked if it was possible to create a program that would allow high school seniors to contribute to the community instead of drawing graffiti. He indicated a similar program had been very successful in the City of Cottage Grove. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY ]8,2003 -.-.,--. -.. -.-- 4 . OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE UPDATE Director Moore stated the City had eighteen 50th Anniversary banners up on County Road that were three (3) years old. He asked if the banners should be taken down and whether he should order new banners. He stated $2,500 would cover the cost to take down the old banners, and design and install new banners. He also stated that City street signs were of nine different designs. Surrounding communities had updated their streets signs to include their city logo. The cost for the design and installation of one street sign was $l75. It was recommended that the street signs all be done at the same time. He informed the Council that the Karth Lake gauge was installed. He stated he had gotten feedback from residents who thought the installation of the gauge meant the Council would take action again, meaning to pump or not to pump. 2003 PMP ASSESSMENT HEARING Director Moore stated the 2003 PMP Assessment Hearing was scheduled for March 10, 2003. If the City intended to keep that date, the City must provide residents with ] 4 days notice. If the City Council extended the Assessment Hearing to March 3], 2003, the notice letters would be mailed March 5, 2003, giving residents a 24 day notice. Director Moore stated staff was ready to proceed with the Assessment Hearing Notice mailing, to make the March 10, 2003, Assessment Hearing date, but staff recommended postponing the hearing until March 3l, 2003. . Councilmember Rem asked that the assessment notice be easy to understand and the process be clearly outlined. Councilmember Larson stated that staff had to ensure the hearing was not open for negotiation. Mayor Aplikowski stated there were no objections to the Assessment Hearing extension date of March 31, 2003. . . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY l8, 2003 5 TCAAP DISCUSSION Director Parrish summarized the TCAAP meeting that took place this morning. The main topics were Public Land Use Conveyance and the establishment of a video that would be used as a public communications vehicle. Director Parrish informed the Council that in regards to contaminates, the Development Team would conduct a supplemental analysis for areas not covered in the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. On the issue of environmental insurance, the Development Team would establish a policy that includes the City and future property owners as additional insured. Councilmember Grant asked which contaminates would be covered or not covered in an insurance policy. Dave Hammernick, Minnesota Army National Guard, commented that asbestos and contaminates that were not released are not subject to the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. He stated a similar situation had a release of a contaminate that was not previously discovered, and now was an environmental issue. The City would most likely be responsible because the City caused the release. Councilmember Rem asked who the City would receive information from and how that information would be verified. She suggested meeting with a City Environmental Attorney to advise the City. There was some confusion between the Vento Plan and the TCAAP Framework Plan maps. Director Parrish eXplained the two (2) maps were identical and the difference was the text behind the maps; the TCAAP Framework Plan was more specific. Administrator Lynch stated the City had adopted the TCAAP Framework Plan as part of its Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Aplikowski requested copies of the Vento Plan and TCAAP Framework Plan. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18,2003 6 . Councilmember Larson stated Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban (DSU) needed to be clearer in their communications. It had to be clear to everyone that we had no intentions to develop the area designated for open area. The general consensus of the Council was that they were fine with the Development Team, but Councilmember Grant said he wished the Development Team was not a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC). Director Parrish said that the LLC issue had previously been brought forth to City Attorney Jerry Filla, and the result of that discussion was that some assurances must be in place before the Final Development Agreement was executed. The Council continued to discuss the communication as to how the TCAAP area was going to be developed. They said it was incumbent upon them to address a greater sensitivity to the communication device and the information found therein. Councilmember Larson asked Councilmember Rem how she responded to the questions she received from concerned residents. She said she told residents to . participate in the meetings. Councilmember Grant asked that the City Council consider this question: How do we define our success? He said, for the developer, it meant making money. He asked the City Council to consider this question for further discussion. Mayor Aplikowski suggested the City Council may be ambiguous in this regard at this time, and suggested waiting to discuss this issue at a subsequent meeting. Administrator Lynch said the Development Team suggested members of the City Council may want to travel to other similar sites in the United States, which may serve to help them visualize a successful project. The City Council said they did not support the idea of traveling at the Development Team's expense, but did support the idea of gaining some information about the results. Planner HelIegers said staff was in the process of planning a tour in May, 2003 for the City Council and Planning Commission to view several development sites . in the Twin Cities area. . . . ARDEN I-IlLLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18,2003 7 City Council Reports: Councilmember Grant: NONE Councilmember Holden: NONE Councilmember Larson: NONE Councilmember Rem suggested that there be a City Council contact list published in the newsletter. Mayor Aplikowski received a letter from Representative McCollum regarding the Homeland Security issue, and wondered if coverage by Ramsey County was enough protection for the City. She asked that this issue be brought forward at a later meeting. She suggested discussing 2004 budgeting for the Northwest Youth and Family Services.

SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY - Personnel Actions City Attorney, Jerry Filla, stated there were two actions that were taken by the City Council at the Closed Executive Session meetings in February, 2003 which needed to become part of the public record. He noted the record needed to indicate: . A. A closed meeting was held on February 6, 2003, pursuant to M.S. 13.D.05 Subd. 3, and pursuant to the City's Personnel Policy to consider an appeal . . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 3 by Mr. Terry Post to the City Administrator's recommendation that his employment be terminated due to unsatisfactory performance. The parties present at this meeting were: City Administrator Joe Lynch, City Accountant/Treasurer Post, Mayor and City Council, City Attorney Filla, and Recording Secretary Altman. The City Administrator's recommendation was reviewed by the City Council and the following action was taken: MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a motion to accept the City Administrator's recommendation, and to direct that Mr. Post be considered as an employee of the City leaving in good standing; therefore he is entitled to the benefits as found in the Personnel Policy. Motion Passed (3-1-1) (Opposed; Mayor Aplikowski, Abstained; Councilmember Holden). B. A closed meeting was held on Tuesday, February 18, 2003, to consider a performance evaluation of City Administrator Lynch. The parties present at the meeting were the Mayor and City Council and Administrator Lynch. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Rem seconded to request the resignation of the City Administrator. Motion Passed (3-1-1) (Opposed; Councilmember Larson, Abstained; Councilmember Holden). Subsequent to this meeting, the City Administrator met with the City Attorney to review the City Administrator's contract and the provisions of a proposed termination agreement. A draft of the termination agreement was accepted by the City Administrator and needs to be ratified by the Mayor and City Council. Mayor Aplikowski stated if Mr. Lynch needed a letter of recommendation, the City would provide such a letter. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to direct the Recording Secretary to include ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 4 . paragraphs A and B of the City Attorney's February 24, 2003, Memorandum to the Mayor and City Council. The motion carried unanimously (4-0-1) (Councilmember Holden abstained). MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a motion to ratify the termination agreement signed by the City Administrator and the Mayor on February 21,2003. Councilmember Larson stated he was going to vote against the termination agreement because he was not in agreement with the action the Council took at the February 18, 2003, meeting. Therefore, he could not, in good faith, ratify a termination agreement that would cost the City approximately $43,000. However, he did believe Mr. Lynch was entitled to the money. Councilmember Holden indicated if she were voting, she would be in favor of this because these were the terms of the contract agreed to when Mr. Lynch was . initially employed by the City. The motion carried (3-1-1) (Councilmember Holden abstained. Councilmember Larson opposed.) Councilmember Holden stated as a newly elected official, she had abstained from both votes. 3.

PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL Robert Woodburn. 1220 Inl!:erson Court, stated he was here basically to introduce the subject of the Ingerson Court cul-de-sac; to ask if there were any questions; and to see if the Council wanted to take any action. He stated historically there was some pertinence that this was the fifth time this area had been looked at. He stated they were now faced with a situation that was no better than 45 years ago. He indicated 45 years ago, it was decided not to put in a cul- de-sac on Ingerson Court. He noted the cul-de-sac was a moving target and he did not know where they were now. He stated he was surprised this was being brought up again. As far as a necessity for a cul-de-sac, he noted there were minor reasons for having one there, including fire department access. However, he stated he had contacted the fire department and they did not require a cul-de-sac. He stated the road had worked for over 40 years. He acknowledged the road, as it was, might be a little difficult for snow plowing since the turnaround was too small for major equipment. He indicated the cul-de-sac would impact his property and his neighbor's in that it would be very close to his property line and would take a considerable amount of grass from his neighbor's property. He stated he had planted many trees along Ingerson Court and was concerned about the loss of the trees if the cul-de-sac was put in. He stated there were problems with sloping in his driveway, as well as elevation issues. He indicated the drainage issue had been looked at many times by the City Engineer. Mayor Aplikowski responded Mr. Moore was out ill today, but the Council would bring this up with him upon his return. Councilmember Grant asked if Mr. Woodburn favored a hammerhead design. Mr. Woodburn replied the road worked as it was. Councilmember Rem stated the Council had also heard comments from the neighborhood about the design of the cul-de-sac. She stated she believed most people would like to leave things as they were. Mayor Aplikowski stated she had discussed this with Mr. Moore, and she believed if it was not broken, not to fix it, but she noted they were still in negotiations. Mr. Parrish stated he would pass these comments on to Mr. Moore and Mr. Brown for their review and consideration. ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 6 . Mr. Woodburn requested his name be added to any mailing list and/or notification list the City had regarding Ingerson Court. Mali LaDl!:lie. 1653 Glenview Court, stated she was in sixth grade and had been nominated to represent her school and community at the Junior National Leader's Conference in Washington, DC. She noted this was a non-profit, educational organization that brought middle school students from all over the country for a six (6) day leadership conference. She noted they would be working on leadership skills at that conference. She summarized for the Council the cost of her participation in this conference. Through her parents, school, savings, and other businesses, she had raised $500. She stated she hoped that Arden Hills City Council would assist her with some of the cost of the conference. She noted this conference would be good for her education and improve her leadership skills. She stated she would appreciate support for her sponsorship request. She noted the conference was March 8th through March 13th. Councilmember Rem stated Miss Langlie was going through this presentation at . her suggestion. She noted she had pledged her Council stipend for this conference. Mayor Aplikowski commended Miss Langlie for her actions and congratulated her on her nomination. She stated the Council would see if they could come up with a contribution for her. Mr. Parrish noted staff would provide contact information for charitable gambling organizations. An unidentified resident stated he was here because his Boy Scout Merit Badge required him to attend a City Council meeting and make a presentation at a Boy Scout meeting. 5. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. 6. COMMUNITY SERVICES . A. PLANNING . . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 7 1. Guidant: Final AUAR Mr. Parrish stated at the January 27, 2003, Council meeting, the Council authorized distribution of the final Guidant Alternative Urban Areawide Review and Mitigation Plan for comment and objections. The objection period ended February 1 l, 2003. To date, the City had received no objections from any of the agencies that submitted comments. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to approve Resolution No. 03-26: Approving the Final AUAR and Mitigation Plan. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). 7. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE A. Operations and Maintenance None. B. Recreation A. 2003 Track Program Ms. Olson stated at the Council's December 2, 2002, meeting, the Council approved a reduction in funding for the Track Program based upon the philosophical differences in who should sponsor this program. She noted the Track Program was completely funded through participant registrations. Therefore, should the City reinstate the program, there would be no net change to the operating recreation budget. She recommended the Council reinstate funding for the 2003 Track Program. Mr. Otto stated he had taught at Snail Lake Elementary School for 32 years and the school had coordinated the elementary track program for 35 years. He noted in the early 1980' s, the school had dropped funding for this program. He stated for the past 20 years, they had worked with various communities to coordinate the track program. He summarized the track program and the number of students who participated in it. He noted the program did not run in the red, therefore, he could ARDEN I-IlLLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 8 . not understand why the program was dropped when they were not losing money. He noted other City Park and Recreation Departments were in favor of this program. He indicated they took a great deal of pride in this program and they all worked hard for the children. He asked the Council to reconsider. Councilmember Larson noted it was hard to pick and chose what programs the City should get involved in. Mr. Otto asked what the objection was since they were not losing money. Ms. Olson noted there would be no net change to the budget if the Council reinstated the Track Program. MOTION: Councilmember Rem moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to reconsider funding the 2003 Track Program. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Councilmember Larson stated because it appeared that this program did not cost . the City any money and supported the children in the community he would support reinstating this program. MOTION: Council member Grant moved and Council member Larson seconded a motion to approve reinstating funding for the after school 2003 Track Program as presented to the Council. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). 8. ADMINISTRATION A. Administrator Vacancy Mr. Parrish stated with the vacancy of the City Administrator position, the Council needed to think about how to fill the vacancy. He noted the Council could go through the standard hiring process or retain an executive search firm. He asked the Council which option they wanted to proceed with. Councilmember Grant and Councilmember Rem stated they would prefer . using an executive search firm. . . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 9 Councilmember Holden stated if the Council retained a search firm, she requests that the deadline for retaining a City Administrator be included as part of the proposal from the search firms. Councilmember Larson noted because of the cost, he would prefer advertising for this position. He stated while this would take more time on the Council and staffs part, it would be less expensive. He believed the outcome would be just as good. Mayor Aplikowski noted it would take more time on the Council's part, but she believed they would obtain a good result if they advertised for the position. Ms. Young stated she could see the City accelerating hiring the process. Councilmember Rem noted she wanted this done well. She indicated the City Administrator's position was a key position, and the Council had a number of other issues they would be working on in the near future. She questioned if the Council would have the time to spend on a thorough search and interview process for candidates. Councilmember Larson clarified it was the responsibility of the Council and not the staff to make the decision, so it would not take up more of staffs time and resources. He stated his main concern was the cost of an executive search firm and the time frame a search firm would need. Mayor Aplikowski requested staff compile a list of search firms for the next Council meeting on March lO, 2003. She indicated the Council would then interview the search firms and at that time, make a decision whether or not to use a search firm. She requested they discuss the City Administrator's job description at the next work session. B. Interim City Accountant Services Mr. Parrish explained, with the City Administrator and City Accountant/Treasurer pOSitIOns currently vacant, staff was requesting authorization to pursue an agreement to retain temporary city accounting services and authorize additional compensation for the Finance and Human Resources Assistant. ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 10 . MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to authorize staff to pursue an agreement to retain temporary city accounting services and for information to be brought back at the March 10, 2003, Council Meeting; also, to authorize additional compensation for the Finance and Human Resources Assistant. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). C. Resolution No. 03-25: Appointing an Interim Administrator/Clerk Mr. Parrish stated with the City Administrator position vacant, it was necessary to appoint a staff member to serve in his capacity on an interim basis. He noted it was fairly common practice to provide additional compensation when additional duties were assumed. Based on the questionnaire sent to City Human Resource Directors, a fairly typical approach was to provide a 15% salary increase over the term of the appointment. He noted a car allowance was also provided for. . Councilmember Holden requested an explanation for the car allowance. Mr. Parrish noted they had looked at what other cities did in this type of situation and also what the City had done in the past, with respect to salary and car allowance. After discussion, the Council decided to waive the car allowance and reimburse mileage under the current IRS guidelines. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to approve Resolution No. 03-25: Appointing Aaron Parrish as the Interim Administrator/Clerk and approving a fifteen percent (15%) salary increase to the current step in the Pay Plan for Director of Community Services. Also, a car allowance was to be tied to actual mileage reimbursement at the IRS rate. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). . D. Highway 96 Discussion . . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 11 Mr. Parrish noted the Council needed to decide on the ground cover types and landscaping along with sidewalks and trails on the north and south side of Highway 96. The Council also needed to decide on irrigation, lighting, and whether a gateway sign should be placed at Lexington Avenue. Councilmember Rem requested staff investigate the cost for the City to put in irrigation and lighting and to investigate the trail issues with the county. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Councilmember Grant - stated there was an Open House for the Ramsey County Public Works Facility on Wednesday, February 25, 2003, at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.

Councilmember Larson - noted the Lake Johanna Fire Department Board was meeting on Wednesday, February 26, 2003, at Station No.2 at 7:00 p.m. Councilmember Rem - asked if it was the Council's plan to have the TCAAP Restoration Advisory Board at the next work session on March l7, 2003, as originally planned. Mr. Parrish replied he believed they could be on the agenda for that work session. She noted the Pioneer Press had stated the Arden Hills Library was being proposed to be closed in January, 2004. She reminded the Council the School Board was having a community forum at 7:00 p.m. next Monday, March 3, 2003, at the Shoreview Community Center to discuss their funding issues. Mayor Aplikowski - stated the entrance sign by the Cleveland Bridge still had old population numbers on it, and requested staff follow up with Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) on getting this changed. She noted they were looking to have to come up with a $50,000 difference due to the State budget cuts and Council needed to discuss this in the near future. She requested they ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 2003 12 . have a future discussion regarding the Sheriffs Department's proposal to move to the TCAAP property. Mr. Parrish - asked the Council's comfort level with proceeding to Stage 2 ofthe TCAAP planning. Councilmembers Larson and Grant indicated they felt comfortable proceeding to Stage 2 without the environmental study. Mayor Aplikowski stated she would like to see the environmental study prior to vlslOmng.

Arden Hills City Engine r ~. 613. March 10, 2003 File: 379510057001 From: Date: Subject: CSAH 96 Reconstruction Issues Background Ramsey County is currently in the process of getting final design documents approved for the reconstruction of Highway 96 from Lexington Avenue to the North Heights Church Entrance. The following are a list of key items of note related to the project and issues which the Council may want to provide direction to staff and the County. I have attached a set of plan sheets for your information regarding the proposed improvements. Proiect Overview Reconstruction of roadway with concrete pavement, curb and gutter and storm sewer to essentially the same four lane configuration with shoulders and turn lanes. Full access will be provided at the North Heights Church entrance, Snelling Avenue, Keithson Drive, Hamline Avenue and the City Hall entrance. Hamline Avenue will receive a new signal and dual left turn lanes from westbound 96 to southbound Hamline - this improvement will require some ROW acquisition along the west side of Hamline Avenue. The proj ect includes the construction of a 10 foot wide bituminous trail along the south side of the roadway and a five foot wide concrete sidewalk between Ham1ine Avenue and Lexington Avenue along the north side of the roadway. Two regional storm water ponds will be constructed as a part of the improvements to treat runoff from the roadway and adjacent properties. This project does not include streetlighting except for the Hamline A venue intersection. Landscaping improvements are scheduled to be installed under a separate contract to be let in 2004. Design Issue Jim Tolaas recently met with City staff and North Heights Church regarding their request to relocate the main church entrance approximately 400 feet to the east as a part of their proposed expansion plans. The new entrance will be designed as a full access intersection to serve the TCAAP property in the future. Snelling A venue would become a Tee intersection and only serve the neighborhoods to the south. City staff believes that this modification is in the city's best '\ \ Memorandum March 5, 2003 Page 2 . interest as it will serve the TCAM area better than Snelling Avenue and will reduce the likelihood of TCAM traffic heading south on Snelling Avenue and impacting the neighborhoods. The access relocation is recommended to be included in the project by City staff for these reasons. Cost Issues The project will require a limited amount of city funding for the following items: · Off site Drainage: (MnDOT requires cities to pay for that portion of the storm sewer and pond system which treats runoff from areas outside of the roadway ROW. MnDOT will make a determination of this percentage as a part of their approval) · EVP: MnDOT requires cities to pay for Emergency Vehicle Preemption equipment at signalized intersections, this will cost approximately $10,000. · Sidewalk: MnDOT may not participate (or partially participate) in funding the sidewalk on the north side of the roadway between Hamline A venue and the Army Reserve driveway. · Watermain: As a part ofthe project the City Engineer recommends the construction of a watermain stub to the north to serve future TCAM development at the North Heights Church intersection and a loop connection from City Hall across Highway 96 to the watermain on the south side ofthe roadway. In addition, the City Engineer recommends that the watermain between Hamline Avenue and Snelling Avenue be upgraded to 12" diameter per the City's . watermain masterplan. The County improvements will require segments of this watermain to be relocated to avoid storm sewer and therefor will assist in the relocation cost (but not the upgrade cost). Our estimate of costs for the watermain stub and connection improvements are $50,000. The watermain reconstruction between Hamline and Snelling Avenues is estimated to cost $150,000 however we anticipate that the County project will fund a portion ofthis amount (approximately 50%). · lrrigation: lfthe Council desires to install irrigation stubs in the medians and other areas, this work should be included with the roadway project. All costs associated with irrigation will be borne by the City. We estimate irrigation taps to cost approximately $30,000. Additional costs would be incurred in the future to construct an irrigation system in the medians (sprinkler heads and piping, etc.). · Streetlighting: The project does not include streetlighting however if the City council elects to incorporate continuous streetlighting, approximately $415,000 offunding would need to be provided by the City. Funding Sources: The city may elect to use State Aid funds for storm sewer, EVP, and sidewalk improvements. The Council may elect to use general funds or PMP funds to pay for these improvements. City costs related to watermain improvements will be borne from the Watermain Utility Fund. . . . . Memorandum March 5, 2003 Page 3 Recommendations .

Moore, Operations & Maintenance Directo;-f~ j. ~ Replacement of Royal Hills Park Play Structure FROM: SUBJECT: Background The existing play structure at Royal Hills Park was installed in the summer of 1988. The wood and steel structure shows signs of wear; the wood is in poor condition and the steel is rusting. The play structure was originally scheduled for replacement in 2002, but due to budget considerations, was not replaced. City Staff and members of the Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee have received nwnerous phone calls from area residents inquiring if the Royal Hills play structure would be replaced this year. The play structure receives heavy use from the neighborhood.. In addition, because Royal Hills Park is a T-Ball site, it tends to draw families with young children, who also use the play structure. 2003 Budget The 2003 Capital Improvement Plan allocated $ 38,000 for this project. Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee Recommendation At its February 25,2003, meeting, the Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee selected the bid from Miracle Recreation Equipment Company. The total cost for the play structure, including installation and sales tax, is $37,950. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the play structure at Royal Hills Park be replaced, and that Miracle Recreation Equipment Company provide the new play structure and complete installation at a total cost not to exceed $38,000. . . . ~ ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: March 5, 2003 Agenda Item 8.A TO: Mayor Beverly Aplikowski Council Member David Grant Council Member Brenda Holden Council Member Gregg Larson Council Member Lois Rem FROM: Aaron Parrish, Interim City Administrator / Community Services Director pJ SUBJECT: Interim City Accountant Services ENCLOSURES: 1. E-mail from Roseville Finance Director Chris Miller 2. Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Arden Hills and Brenda Davitt Overview At the February 28, 2003 Council meeting, staff was authorized to pursue and agreement to retain temporary finance and accounting services. Subsequent to that meeting, staff has been working with the City of Roseville to provide this service. After evaluating options with Roseville, it was determined that the appropriate approach would be to retain the Assistant Finance Director, Brenda Davitt, on an independent basis. See the attached e-mail from Chris Miller for additional information. I am confident that Ms. Davitt will be able to effectively manage the City's finances until a new City Accountant / City Treasurer can be hired. In addition, Ms. Davitt chairs the local Springbrook users group. This will be an asset as the City completes its conversion to the Springbrook finance software package. The attached Memorandum of Understanding outlines the general nature of the relationship between the City and Ms. Davitt. In general, Ms. Davitt will be compensated at a rate of $55 per hour. By way of comparison, we currently charge $40 per hour for office support and $60 per hour for professional positions. For example, work performed in conjunction with a planning Memo to Mayor and Council March 5, 2003 Page 2 case by the City Planner above and beyond what is contemplated in the land use application fee may be charged back to the applicant at a rate of $60 per hour. It is anticipated that the lack of salary associated with the current vacancy will offset this expense. Additionally, depending on workload, we may not have to utilize a full ten hours per week after the first month. To date, the necessary work has been effectively completed by existing staff. ReanestedAction I. Authorize staff to execute the attached Memorandum of Understanding. . . . Page 1 of2 . Parrish, Aaron From: Miller, Chris Sent: Monday. March 03, 2003 2:23 PM To: Parrish, Aaron Cc: Davitt, Brenda Subject: Contract for Services Aaron, It was a pleasure to meet with you and Sandy last Friday to discuss the possibility of providing temporary finance and accounting services. Based on our conversations, it is my understanding that you are in need of approximately six (6) to nine (9) months of finance and accounting services in the following areas: o Investments and cash flow analysis o Incorporating the 2002 financial data and supporting narrative in the 2003 Budget document o Technical analysis, revenue forecasting, and general support in the 2004 Budget process o State Auditor year end reports o Building Permit report o General support in the Springbrook accounting software package including various reports, shortcuts, etc. Utility Billing conversion to Springbrook . 0 It is further my understanding that Arden Hills' auditors will be in to perform the audit during the first week of April, 2003, and that Ehlers and Associates will prepare your TIF Reports. Based on the areas noted above, I am confident that Brenda Davitt, Roseville's Assistant Finance Director will be able to provide these services in a professional and efficient manner. Brenda has over 15 years experience in governmental finance with expertise in all of the areas noted above, and is far more familiar with Arden Hills' financial operations than other potential persons. Given the temporary nature of this particular situation, as well as other reasons, I feel it is best if the City of Arden Hills hires Brenda as an independent contractor. This will ensure easier record-keeping, and will more accurately reflect the cost of outsourcing these duties. I would offer my services as needed without a fee, as a 'professional courtesy' to a neighboring city. I would suggest a fee of $60 per hour, although the final amount should be worked out between Arden Hills and Brenda, if an independent contractor approach is used. This amount is roughly equivalent to I V, times Brenda's current earnings rate, which reflects the 40+ hours she will now be working. In addition, this rate is the same rate used in the existing Joint Powers Agreement for IT Support, and is less than the amount Arden Hills would likely pay for contracting with Ehlers & Associates (Arden Hills' financial advisor) or Abdo, Eick, & Meyers, LLP (Arden Hills' auditors). Contracting with either of these entities would likely command an hourly rate of $75 or more for an on-going service contract. Again, I would offer my services as needed without a fee. .AS far as scheduling goes, Brenda would continue to work 40 hours per week for the City of Roseville, but would add approximately 8-10 hours per week in the initial month. The amount of hours could fluctuate thereafter depending on the particular needs. Brenda would be available to spend two (2) 3/5/2003 Page 2 of2 afternoons each week to help establish a greater understanding of the workflows and to interact with Sandy and other Arden Hills Staff. All parties should agree that the hours of service provided to Arden . Hills by either Brenda or me shall not interrupt or conflict with our duties here at the City of Roseville. Although it may be 6-9 months before your position vacancy is filled, I would suggest that we establish parameters and implement the work plan in 3-month segments. This will allow all parties greater flexibility in managing their respective workflows. I hope this gives you enough to get started in drafting a memo/letter of understanding. If you agree to proceed under an independent contractor solution. then any letter of understanding should be between the City of Arden Hills and Brenda Davitt. and the previous di.scussion points are to be considered guidelines. If however, you wish to pursue an approach where the agreement is between the two cities, then the above discussion points should be incorporated as our general understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 651 "490-2210. Sincerely, Christopher K. Miller Finance Director 3/5/2003 . . . . . ~ ~HILLS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING DATE: March 4, 2003 TO: Brenda Davitt FROM: Aaron Parrish, Interim City Administrator I Director of Community Services SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding for Finance and Accounting Services Based on our previous discussions, it is the City of Arden Ril1s' desire to have you provide finance and accounting services including, but not necessarily limited to, the following: ~ Investments and cash flow analysis ~ Incorporating the 2002 financial data and supporting narrative in the 2003 Budget document ~ Technical analysis, revenue forecasting, and general support in the 2004 Budget process ~ Financial reporting currently not completed by existing consultants ~ General support in the Springbrook accounting software package including various reports, shortcuts, etc. ~ Utility Billing conversion to Springbrook Term and Scheduling While schedule flexibility would be maintained, it is generally agreed that you would work approximately 8-10 hours per week for the first month, or approximately two afternoons per week. Thereafter, you would work depending on Arden Ril1s' project necessity and as workflow associated with your employment with the City of Roseville allows. Rate For the services outlined above, you will be compensated at a flat rate of fifty-five dollars per hour. You will invoice the City on a periodic basis for your services.

I City Administrator of the City of Arden Hills, 11innesota A PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY: THE BRIMEYER GROUP, INC. EXECUTIVE SEARCH CONSULTANTS FIFTY SOUTH NINTH AVENUE, SUITE 101 HOPKINS, MN 55343 March 3, 2003 I I It City of Arden Hills Page One Introduction I The Brimeyer Group is a full-service executive search and consulting firm working primarily in the public sector to assist boards, councils) and commissions in recruiting individuals for top management positions including managers, administrators, department heads, and other key staff positions. We are experienced in recruiting administrative staff for non-profit organizations and private corporations. In addition, we provide services in the areas of team building, strategic planning, goal setting, and organizational and management studies for selected clients. I I I Our approach to executive search promotes maximum input from our client in the search process. The client is the final authority in the selection of candidates. I We maintain continual contact with the client throughout the search and keep the candidates informed as the search progresses. In addition to our milestone meetings widl the City Council, we will provide periodic updates to keep you informed of our progress. I The Brimeyer Group, Inc. is committed to accurately portraying all candidates to the City. Likewise, we strive to accurately represent the position to candidates to prevent unrealistic expectations. -. I Consultant James L. Brimeyer I Jim has twenty years of experience in public sector management and has been involved in executive search since 1988. Mr. Brimeyer served in public administration in four cities, three as City Manager, including his last position in St. Louis Park, Minnesota (1980 to 1988), with a budget of $28 million and 230 employees. He also served in Worthington, Ohio (1974 to 1980) and Wood Dale, Illinois (1971 to 1974). He began his career as Assistant City Manager in Park Ridge, Illinois after obtaining a Master's degree in Public Administration from Northem Illinois University. His Bachelor's degree is from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. I I Mr. Brimeyer is past President of the Ohio City Management Association. He belongs to the International City Management Association, the Metropolitan Area Management Association, the Minnesota City Management Association, the National Forum for Black Public j\dministrators, and the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association. He is active in dle TwinWest Chamber of Commerce. He is Past President of the St. Louis Park Rotary and Past President of the Rotary Foundation Board. I I In January 2000 Mr. Brimeyer began his second four-year term as City Councilmember at-large in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, I , I I I It City of Arden Hills Page Two I The Search Process I We anticipate the search for the City Administrator for the City of Arden Hills will take three to four months from the time we are retained to the time the City makes an offer. This is somewhat dependent upon the availability of the City Council to participate in Profile development, selection of finalists, and the interview process. We have prepared a preliminary timetable, which corresponds to d,e various steps in the process. After further discussions with the City we will refine the timetable and develop a target date for the reporting of the new City Administrator. I I PHASE I I Position Profile -. I A 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 individually with the City Council, and selected Department Heads 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; and management style. I I Also important to dle success of the search is identifying community priorities and the environment in which the City Administrator must function. We would expect to meet with selected representatives from the community to further assess d,e climate widlin which the selected candidate will most effectively perform. This may be accomplished through individual interviews or through a public forum. We will pay considerable attention to establishing organizational goals and priorities for the position. The identification 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. I Prior to our meetings we will supply an Ideal Candiciate Profile Survey to assist the interviewees in assembling their ideas on what should be included in the Position Profile. I I As a result of dle 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. TI,e final Position Profile, after approval by the City Council, becomes the document against which we evaluate prospective candidates. I I ,. I I I ,. City of Arden Hills Page Three PHASE II I Place Announcements - Recruit Candidates I 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 announce the position on appropriate web sites and the Profile will be featured on The Brimeyer Group web site with a link to your web site. We will utilize our local, statewide, and regional contacts to identify potential candidates. We will 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. Because the most qualified candidates are often not in the job market and do not respond to traditional advertising, we will directly recruit specific individuals with established patterns of talent, stability, and success. I I I Review Resumes and Screen Candidates -- I Following t11e application deadline, we will screen each applicant's experience and background against the Position Profile. After evaluating and comparing each application, we will compile a list of candidates for further consideration. We will conduct one-an-one interviews with the most promising individuals_ Our staff will make every effort to conduct face-to-face interviews with these candidates. 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 position. We will pay particular attention to behavior patterns and management style that most closely reflect the needs of t11e Arden Hills community and the city organization. I I Progress Report I From these interviews, we will select the most qualified individuals to present to t11e City. We will prepare a Progress Report that will provide information on eight to ten candidates whose backgrounds most closely meet the requirements of t1,e position. This Progress Report will provide specific information on educational and work history, accomplishments and growth potential, strengths and possible limitations. We will personally deliver and review this report with the City Council. On the basis of this review, four to six candidates will be selected for furtl1er consideration. At this time we will propose a schedule for interviewing t1,e candidates and discuss t11e compensation expectations of the City for the new City Administrator. I I PHASE III I Reference and Credential Checks I , Prior to t11e interviews, we will conduct discreet reference checks on the finalist candidates. We will talk with peers and former associates of these candidates. We will speak with individuals who are, or have been, in positions to directly evaluate the candidates' job perforn1ance. We will verify the finalist candidates' credentials through educational, criminal, and credit checks. We may conduct a print/media search of the candidates' local newspapers for specific recent articles. I I I P City of Arden Hills Page Four Assessment (No additional fee) I The Brimeyer Group is authorized to administer the DiSC Behavioral Management System assessment tool. The results will be provided to the City Council and the candidates and will cover the following areas: motivation and behavior patterns, management strategies, identification and management of conflict areas. The City will gain insights into the strengths, management style, and likelihood of surcess for each finalist candidate. This assessment is available at the request of the City. I I Client Interview and Selection Process I Resumes, cover letters, and reference reports will be provided on each candidate prior to the interview. We will also provide the City Council wid, a list of suggested interview questions and evaluation forms. We will discuss the proposed procedures to be used in the interview process. OUf suggested interview schedule will allow the candidates to get acquainted with the community and community leaders and to visit with the City Council and d1e staff in informal settings. We culminate the process with individual and group interviews. 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. I I Selection ~ I After the interviews we will meet with the City 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 each time the candidate pool is narrowed down. Negotiating Compensation Package I The Brimeyer Group, Inc., will take great care L'ctat the City of Arden Hills secures 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 d1e offer which may have significant bearing on its final acceptance or rejection. I Additional Services I A. If requested by the City, The Brimeyer Group, Inc., will 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 d1e candidates who are not hired. I B. Family issues and dual career households are factors that influence an individual's decision to change jobs. We address circumstances arising from a job change including spouse careers, real estate issues, family concerns, and relocation details. I I , C. After the candidate is employed, we will follow up with both the City and the candidate to insure a smooth transition and satisfactory completion of the assignment. This follow-up contact is intended to identify potential issues early so that adjustments can be made, if necessary. I I I ,. City of Arden Hills Page Five I Six Month Performance Evaluation I If requested by the City Council, we will assist the City Council and the City Administrator in conducting a six month evaluation and developing a Work Program that will contain objectives for the City Administrator to accomplish in the ensuing 6 to 12 months. The only cost incurred for this service will be expenses. . I Guarantee I If the City utilizes the entire process, Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III, as described, The Brimeyer Group offers an IS-month guarantee on dle effectiveness of the City Administrator. Should the City determine it necessary to terminate the City Administrator 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. I I -. I Should there be substantial changes in the political situation at the City of Arden Hills and a decision is made to terminate the City Administrator for reasons other than failure to perform the duties as specified in the Position Profile, this guarantee is subject to negotiations between the City and The Brimeyer Group.

PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOR PROVIDING SERVICES 1. ASSISTANCE IN ESTABLISHING JOB-RELEVANT QUALIFICATIONS AND RECRUITMENT Initially the City must estabiish qualifications that are consistent with the City's perceived needs and job-relevant under Equai Employment Opportunity (EEO) standards. Qualifications should stipulate minimal job-relevant requirements and also include additional desirable job-relevant qualifications. A critical decision in establishing job-relevant qualifications is determining required and desirable levels of experience and education concerning essential supervisory and administrative job functions. The consultant is available to meet with City officials to provide assistance in developing job-relevant minimal and desirable qualifications. In order to encourage qualified applicants to apply the City should plan its recruitment strategy. Recruitment at the Administrator level typically includes not only determining where to advertise the notice of job opening and requirements, but also what information to provide. Additionally, contacts may also be made with City Administrators and Managers concerning the job opportunity. The consultant has broad contacts with other govemmental agencies and is available to assist the City in the development and implementation of a recruitment strategy. To provide pertinent information to the applicants regarding the City of Arden Hills' services and the City Administrator position, the consultant will create a Community/Position profile. This profile will be sent to the applicants along with all other application materials. The Community/Position profile will provide an overview of the City's organizational structure and services as well as a brief overview of the community. The profiie will also review the City Administrator's position description, background and experience requirements, management capabilities, and position priorities.

ASSISTANCE IN SCREENING APPLICANTS The consultant is available to assist the City in screening candidates to determine an appropriate candidate pool for further consideration. The consultant will develop a supplemental questionnaire for candidates to complete along with the City's regular application form. This supplemental questionnaire will ask specific questions related to the position regarding experience and abilities. The consultant should then review applications, supplemental questionnaires and resumes. The consultant will prepare a Training and Experience evaluation form to be used to evaluate candidate applications, supplemental questionnaires and resumes. A determination will be made as to which candidates best meet the qualifications desired by the City. A list of candidates for further consideration will be submitted to the City. Estimated hours = 35 hours@$84.00/hr.......................................$2,940.00 III. JOB-RELEVANT SELECTION TESTS Development of the oral examination and written in-basket examination by the consultant will include job-relevant material based in part on information provided by City officials and management, by outside sources and also drawn from our knowledge and experience concerning city administration. Both the oral and written examinations will be created specifically for the City of Arden Hills (Labor Relations Associates, Inc. does not develop "off the shelf' exams for use in more than one jurisdiction.) The oral examination will be consistent with Equal Employment Opportunity guidelines and will be conducted by a panel to be selected by the consultant and the City. Panel members will receive training provided by the consultant. The in-basket examination will be administered by the City, since only a monitor is needed. . . . a.

Proposal to Provide Consultant Services to Assist with the Search for a New City Administrator for the City Of Arden Hills This proposal outlines the approach of MDA Consulting Group, Inc. to assisting the City of Arden Hills with the search and selection of a new City Administrator. As we show in the materials that follow, our experience with selection of senior public sector officials is extensive. Although we have outlined a particular approach to respond to the RFP, our intention is always to work in partnership with our clients, tailoring and adapting the services we provide based on current needs. As will become obvious in the information that follows, MDA's approach is flexible and our objective is to support the City of Arden Hills in designing and implementing the selection process that the City, Mayor, and Council wants. Description, Background, and Services Provided by MDA Consulting Group, Inc, MDA Consulting Group was incorporated in the State of Minnesota in 1981 as an industrial/organizational psychology consulting firm. The firm specializes in the application of psychological and human resource practices in the development of organizations, groups, and individuals. MOA's goal and business objective is to provide the highest quality of broad-based consulting assistance and services to its clients to enhance organizational and individual effeetiveness. MOA Consulting Group, Inc. is a participant in the Minnesota Small Business Procurement Program. MDA's State of Minnesota current vendor number is 015985-007. A letter eertifying MOA's status as a woman-owned business is included in the appendix. Ovcr the years, MOA has provided consulting services to several hundred client organizations locally and regionally. MDA's services fall into the following categories: . Talent Management: Selection strategies, assessment, and assistance for executives and managers, retention strategies, and succession planning. . Leadership Development: Executive coaching, action learning programs, team building, and management and leadership training. . Organizational Change: Change management, strategy implementation, merger integration, and organizational culture building. In 2002, MDA was actively involved in providing consulting services to over 100 client organizations in a variety of industries and in both the public and private sectors. Client organizations MDA worked with this past year include Cargill, General Mills, Ecolab, Lutheran Brotherhood, Aid Association to Lutherans, ING Reliastar, Pentair, Polo Ralph Lauren, NRG, Reliant Energy, Tennant, Marvin Windows, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and the City ofMimleapolis. Taleut Management services---especially assessment and selection of managers and executives-represented over 50 percent of our revenues for these and tlle remainder of our client list. . . . Page Two City of Arden Hills Public Sector Executive Selection and Assessment is one ofMDA's strongest areas of expertise. We believe we are particularly well acquainted with the workings of local government through our work with tbe City of Minneapolis and other public agencies. The appendix to this proposal presents a list of approximately 80 managerial and executive selection and assessment engagements, and highlights our work. We feel that we have in-depth knowledge of the concerns and requirements that public, governmental, and other non-profit officials and agencies have when selecting senior leaders. MDA Staff and Principals Assigned to This Project Currently, MDA Cousulting Group employs 26 staff members consisting ofpsychologists, consultants, and support staff. MDA Consulting Group is owned and managed by Dr. Sandra Davis, CEO, and Dr. Robert Barnett, Executive Vice President. Should MDA be selected as the City of Arden Hills' consultant, Dr. Robert C. Banlett would direct the project. Dr. Barnett has extensive experience in public sector executive selection. He has led all pnblic sector selection projects for MDA since 1986, including for positions such as Chief of Police, Director of Human Resources, Convention & Visitor's Association CEO, City Engineer, City Assessor, City Coordinator/Manager, and Director of Finance among others. MDA has a full complement of experienced staff available to devote to this project. We anticipate the project would require the efforts of approximately 2-4 MDA staff. A consultant team would be composed from among the following individuals, based on their availability and workload at the time the project is initiated. Each of the following individuals has substantial experience with public sector selection work. Staff biographies are included for the senior consultants. . Robert C. Barnett, Ph.D., L.P. . Janice Mileo, J.D., Psy.D. . Bill Handschin, Ph.D., L.P. . Kurt Guidinger . Mary Lund . Karla Sovereign MDA Consulting Group's Approach to the Project The RFP requests consultant services that can be described in several steps or components. Each project component is outlined below and presents in detail the process we propose for screening and assessment. Our approach assumes active involvement by the City of Arden Hills. Throngh discussion with the City, we would tailor the project and the associated costs to fit current needs and circumstances. Step One: Profile Development, If a current position profile is not available, MDA will work with City of Arden Hills to update or develop one, based on an evaluation and understanding ofthe City's needs and financial conditions. If the City desires a more inclusive process for developing the position profile, MDA will meet with and interview key stakeholders. The desired goal would be to prepare a complete prospectus for the position and all collateral materials and information (advertising copy, letters, etc.) that would be used in a comprehensive recruiting process. . Page Three City of Arden Hills Step Two: Recruitment. MDA would develop and propose a comprehensive recruitment effort for review and approval by the City of Arden Hills. The components of the recruiting plan could include: . . Mailing the position prospectus to a targeted list to announce the position and selection process. . Mailing to professional associations and organizations identified with the help of City of Arden Hills. . Advertising in appropriate publications (newspapers, magazines, and journals), including those targeted for senior public sector professionals and managers. . Advertising in publications for and with appropriate associations/organizations of pubic sector professionals who may be members of a protected class. . Advertising in local newspapers and other publications as appropriate. . Announcing the position opening through appropriate job lines, info lines, and other sonrces, including those available through the Internet. . Announcing the position at appropriate state or national conferences or association meetings, depending on timing. . Personal phone calls to recognized professionals and association execntives to solicit candidate nominations. . Annonncing or advertising the position opening in or through any other channels recommended by the City of Arden Hills. MDA would conduct all research necessary to provide detailed costs, deadlines, and other information to the City for final approval before implementing any plans. In this step, it will be important to incorporate the expertise and judgment of the City of Arden Hills to ensure that the final recruitment plan is comprehensive, but cost effective. Step Three: Initial Applicant Screening. Once applications have been received by MDA, the resumes would be screened through a systematic rating process. Using a resume rating form targeted to the position requirements, each resume would be evaluated and rated independently by two MDA staff members. Additional ratings could be made by City of Arden Hills, should they have the time and interest. These ratings would lead to a tentative rank-ordered list of candidates, which would become the basis for determining which and what number of applicants would be identified for further consideration. MDA would recommend narrowing the applicant pool to a group of no more than 15 candidates who would be invited to participate in the next step ofthe process. Decisions regarding selection of candidates to continue in the process would be made by the City of Arden Hills after a careful review ofthe applicant pool and screening process conducted by MDA. . Step Four: Iu-Depth Screeuing. Following the initial screening process, MDA would work with the City to determine the way to proceed to best meet their needs and interests at this step in the process. In this step, the objective would be to assist the City to narrow the pool of candidates to small pool of highly qualified and interested final candidates for the position. Depending on the composition of the initial pool, how many candidates are selected by the City after the initial screening process, and timing concems; the City may wish to pursue different options. Flexibility for the City is critical at this point in the process. Page Four . City of Arden Hills For example, if a larger number of candidates (e.g., 10-15) are selected after the initial screening, the City may wish to use essay questions, preliminary phone interviews, or other cost effective techniques to gather information that would help them make distinctions among candidates for inclusion in a pool of 4-6 semi-finalists or finalists. If the initial screening process narrowed the pool to a small group of highly qualified candidates, eliminating some or all of these steps and moving directly to "Finalist Assessment and Interviews" could save time and expense. Step Five: Finalist Assessment and Interviews. This step presumes the City has confidently narrowed the pool of candidates to a small, manageable number (no more than 4-6) well qualified final candidates. We propose three activities for this phase: I. Baekground Cheeks: MDA would conduct background and reference checks for the candidates remaining in the pool. The purpose ofthe background/reference checks wonld be to verify information about the finalists to ensure that they could compete as legitimate candidates for the position. The background checks would include verification of education, credit history, employment, salary, etc., and reference checks of the candidates' work habits, successes, and performance. . 2. Exeeutive Assessment. During this step, MDA would conduct in-depth executive assessments for the remaining candidates. MDA's objective in conducting candidate assessments is to gain as clear a picture of an individnal's strengths as is possible along several dimensions of executive leadership and management effectiveness. These typically include leadership style and strengths, problem-solving and decision-making effectiveness, achievement orientation and initiative, interpersonal style, planning and organizing, and personal adjustment and adaptability. These dimensions would be further focused and refined by the job description and required qualifications for the position. The assessment process MDA uses is based on a multi-method, multi-observer approach. That is, we ask individuals to participate in several different types of tests and exercises during their assessment process with us. These include tests of intellectual ability; personality and interest measures; a structured interview with a psychologist; and work simulation or "assessment center" exercises such as an in-basket, role-play, or case study. More specifically, the tests and exercises that comprise our assessment process are: Paper-and-Pencil Testing. A series of psychological and problem-solving tests that are standardized and well-validated. Personality and psychological tests are used to help understand an individual's traits and characteristics related to interpersonal, occupational, and managerial style; as well as an individual's motivational pattern and keys to job satisfaction. The intellectnal ability tests are measnres of logical problem solving and cover areas such as deductive and inductive logical reasoning, vocabulary, reasoning by analogy, etc. . Workstyle Interview. Secondly, information about an individual is gained through an interview conducted by an MDA psychologist with the candidate. The intcrview is behaviorally based and focused on past career achievements and background, and the candidate's experience, skills, and successes in the various dimensions related to occupational success. It is not a clinical interview. Page Five . City of Arden Hills Leadership Simulation Exercises. Leadership or work simulation exercises provide a third source of information about an individual during MDA's executive assessment process. These exercises are set in the context of a fictitious library organization. Candidates are provided with background information, an organizational history, a scenario, and information about their role in the organization. From this perspective, they are asked to deal with a wide variety of common managerial problems and issues as if they were that person in MDA's fictitious organization. By "common problems," we mean those kinds of issues that most managers and professionals have familiarity with and face on a day-to-day basis. This might include dealing with a dissatisfied customer or resolving a problem with a staff member or coworker, for example. The use of work simulation exercises allows MDA to see an individual's "skills in action." This feature of our approach to assessment is unique to MDA and only a select group of other management consulting organizations. This "work simulation" approach is the distingnishing feature of "assessment center" experiences. From these tests and exercises, MDA compiles a written report describing a candidate's style, strengths, and limitations, which would be made available to the City as part of its final decision- making process. . 3. Interviews with the Mayor and Council. Simultaneous with the assessment process, MDA recommends that the Mayor and Council conduct interviews with the finalists. MDA would assist the City in designing an appropriate interview process and set of questions. If interviews are conducted at this point, the City could achieve cost savings by eliminating the need for separate return trips to Minneapolis for candidates who are not local. Step Six: Decision-Makiug and Selection ofthe City Administrator. In this step, MDA would meet with the Mayor and Council to help it select its new City Administrator. All information collected for each candidate would be reviewed and discussed in a meeting facilitated by MDA. This includes all relevant screening infonnation such as essay question responses, reference reports, background check data, assessment data and reports, and Mayor/Council interview data. Two general outcomes are possible from this meeting. One is that the City easily reaches consensns about a clear choice for the new City Administrator. The other possibility is that the City would want more information on one or more candidates before making a final selection. This might include gathering additional reference information, or a second phone or in-person interview. Should this occur, MDA will assist the City in any way they might find helpful to complete their selection process. Additional Options. The City could consider some additional options and whether or not it may want consulting assistance from MDA with any ofthe following it might choose to incorporate in its selection process. These might include: . . Assistance with constructing and offering the position to its preferred candidate. . Planning or hosting a reception or other meeting where city staff or community members could meet the Mayor/Council's final or preferred candidate(s). . Hosting the final candidate during a trip to Minneapolis to investigate housing or other aspects of the community. . . . Page Six City of Arden Hills MDA has performed these and other similar services in the various selection projects we have undertaken. These can be discllssed with the City at the conclusion of the selection process, or incorporated into the process earlier through discussion in an initial planning meeting. Fees for these additional steps are not shown in the "Estimated Fees and Expenses" below, but would be discussed and agreed to with the Board prior to approving any of these steps. References As mentioned, a record ofMDA's experience with public sector assessment and selection is attached. Because the work spans a considerable period oftime, some of the individuals listed as contacts may be difficult to reach. Estimated Fees, Expenses, and Timeframe The information that follows summarizes the project steps, and provi<!es cost estimates. Cost estimates are developed based on past experience, and an assumed number of approximately 25-30 applicants. MDA stafffees range from $175-$375/hour for various members of the proposed project team. The fees below are estimates only and can be adjusted to reflect the specific approach we would take if selected for this project. For its purposes, the City can assume that the lower end of any cost range is appropriate if they believe substantial planning, development, or other preparation is not necessary. Whether the City incurs costs closer to the minimum or maximum also depends on a number of its decisions and choices, sllch as how many candidates to conduct reference checks and assessments for, etc. We believe, however, that by capitalizing on our past experience, we can help the City complete the City Administrator selection in an economical fashion, and very likely for less than the maximum cost estimated. The April I start date is proposed only so that the Board can understand the relative timing of subsequent steps. Once MDA and the City design the details of the process, MDA could provide a more detailed and realistic cost proposal and timeframe. PROJECT STEPS AND ACTIVITIES TIME~'RAME COST ESTIMATE . 1.

Host finalist during trip to Minneapolis Total $42,500-$55,000 The conservative "not-to-excecd" fee is $55,000 as shown above. However, MDA would expect the City to cover additional expenses, including the costs of advertising, long-distance phone calling, meeting rooms for receptions or Mayor/Council interviews (if necessary) and travel, meal, and lodging expenses for out-of-town candidates, etc. MDA typically bills on a monthly basis for work completed during that month. Communication with the City MDA will communicate and meet with the City as often as necessary or desired. This includes providing progress reports to the City at regularly scheduled or special meetings, or individually with the Mayor or Council as requested. The process outlined above implies approximately 6-7 meetings with the City and/or its designated staff. In addition, consultation time and communication with designated City staff will be provided on an as-needed basis. MDA will also . . . Page Eight City of Arden Hills furnish the City with written reports and materials as requested or as necessary to keep them informed and involved. Intention to Comply with All General Requirements MDA Consulting Group is committed to providing selection services that are valid, fair, standardized, and nondiscriminatory. Further, we are committed to ensuring that women, minorities, and other protected class candidates arc not harmed by adverse impact in selection procedures. We comply with all conditions and provisions of all applicable federal, state, and local statutes, ordinances, and regulations pertaining to human rights and nondiscrimination, and equal opportunity and affirmative action. This includes Civil Rights legislation and the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as the relevant provisions of the Minnesota State Statutes. Further, we are aware of the requirements ofthe Minnesota Data Practices Act as it pertains to the privacy of applicant data. We always fully comply with the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13 which contains the relevant provisions goveming data privacy in selection processes. MDA's Expectations of the City of Arden Hills MDA's intention is to work in full cooperation and partnership with the City of Arden Hills. To complete the project in a timely and responsive manner, we will need appropriate personnel from the City to: . Meet with MDA in an initial planning meeting to discuss options and design the process that best serves the City's needs and interests . Provide any additional written information, reports, or documentation that may be helpful to MDA. . Assure that the Mayor and Council are available for interviews and meetings. . Designate a staffmember(s) to serve as a liaison to MDA and provide other assistance to the project as appropriate. . Assume responsibility for payment of expenses (e.g., advertising, postage, long-distance phone, and candidate expenses, etc.). . Be willing to resolve problems or concerns that arise from unanticipated events collaboratively with MDA, including payment for additional services, if requested, that are outside of the scope ofthe project as described above. Summary and Conclusions We believe that our outstandiug qualification is our knowledge and understanding of the requirements of successful public sector leadership, particularly at the local or municipal level. MDA is committed to designing and providing selection services that are valid (measuring what we say they will measure), relevant (tied directly to the qualifications for the position), fair (treat all candidates consistently), and standardized (will be experienced similarly by all candidates). We take seriously our responsibility to provide the highest qnality of service and hold ourselves accountable to tlle highest standards of professional conduct. . . . Page Nine City of Arden Hills We believe we have the background, resources, and expertise that can help the City of Arden Hills to he certain that their City Administrator selection process will be comprehensive and successful. We anticipate questions, suggestions, and the possible need for modifications to or clarification of information in this proposal.

Box 282 Oshkosh WI 54903 Phone: 920-235-0279 Fox: 801-659-8673 Emai!: paassoc@ftorthnet.net March 4, 2003 Ms. Cynthia Young Deputy Clerk/Hurnan Resources Director City of Arden Hills 1245 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Dear Ms. Young: This letter is in response to your e-mail of this date transmitting an RFP to provide Executive Search Consulting Services to select a City Administrator for your city. I somewhat regret to inform you that we will not he submitting a proposal which conforms to the performance specifications contained in the RFP. If that disqualifies us, that is certainly acceptable and understandable from our . standpoint. Dr. Steve Hintz, Professor of Public Affairs at UW-O; and Denise Frueh and I formed Public Administration Associates in 1998. I am enclosing an explanation of our company and the benefits it has to offer governmental entities. We formed the company mostly for the purpose of enhancing the City Administration profession. The methods and practices we use in Executive Searches follow procedures that we have found to be most workable and almost guarantee that our clients will he pleased. If we do not follow our procedures, we are not interested in doing the work. Our philosophy, (we have found from serving our other Minnesota client, Oak Park Heights), differs from other consultants and apparently the method you outline in the RFP in that we helieve our mission and ouroose it so suoolv the best oossible information to the governing bodv in order for them to make the best oossihle decision. We do not feel comfortable in making those final decisions or "identifying 'top' candidates for personal interviews". Our only individual recommendations come when the total field is narrowed to ten semi-finalists for the further checking of references and the preparation of videotape interviews. We then depend on the governing body, through individual, independent ratings, to determine the finalists to be interviewed. In other words, we rely on the governing body making the decisions, not the consultant. I am enclosing a copy of the municipalities we have assisted in their executive searches. Together, we have assisted almost one hundred connnunities and counties in their searches for new administrators. As a result of that extensive experience, we have almost 350 detailed reference files and over 250 videotapes of possible candidates. Our experience is mostly in the State of Wisconsin, but from the standpoint of the number of Chief Executives placed, we rank as one of the busiest firms in the United States. . The partners have many years of leadership experience in both the Wisconsin City/County Management Association and the Intemational City/County Management Association. We know many of the potential candidates and that ability will give you access to a wide range of prospects to fill the position with the best possible person. . Many studies have shown that those municipalities that utilize executive search firms select a person who more closely fits the needs of the community and thus, they are more satisfied with their choice. We try to provide all the infonnation possible to assist you in the selection process. We also handle all the paperwork of notifications, negotiations, etc. .. thus saving your staff the additional workload and clerical work in this regard. In a nutshell, we facilitate the process in a very effective and efficient manner. Many times communities will feel they cannot afford the services of an executive search finn to assist them. One of the reasons we created this finn is to overcome this detriment. Historically, the charges for our services are about one- third of the charges of other executive search finns. It will typically cost approximately one month's salary of the position being filled. The fees proposed in our proposal allow for three on-site meetings-the first to select the semi- finalists; the second to select the finalists; and the third to select the person. Therefore we will not be present to make a verbal presentation of our proposal at the March 17th meeting, unless the city wants to pay the expenses for such a meeting. We would, of course, be available for a telephone interview on that date and would be happy to address any questions. We also will not be preparing 10 copies of the reports or additional copies of our proposal. Several times we have been asked why our fees are so much less than our competitors. We purposely keep the fees low because we are dedicated to promoting the "best" in Public Administration. As we tell our clients, "please don't hire us because we are the lowest cost, hire us because we provide the best service." I believe that if you contact the officials ofany of the cities, villages and towns that we have served, they will agree with that assessment. Our services do not end when you hire your administrator. At no cost, we stay in touch with you and the person you hire throughout their tenure to offer whatever assistance and advice may be needed. We take a personal interest in making your choice as successful as possible and we feel our lengthy experiences may be of assistance to your new administrator. . If you let us know as soon as possible, we can work with you in developing and placing the advertisement. In this regard, it would be helpful to know the salary range for the position and some details or descriptive information about both the position and the community for use in the advertisements. In our recent recruitment effort in Oak Park Heights, MN, we worked with the local officials in developing a "Recruitment Profile" for the position. I am enclosing a proposal that outlines the nature and extent of our services. I would draw your attention to the last paragraph in the Proposal. In effect, we guarantee satisfaction with our work or we do it again at no cost to you but direct expenses. Please call if! can answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding this proposal. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, William D. Frueh Partner, Public Administration Associates Attachments: Proposal-Arden Hills What is P AA 2002 Administrator Job List . .

Our general expertise lies in the area of assessment and development of both individuals and organizations. Since our founding in 1967 by Drs. Marvin Dunnette of the University of Minnesota and Wayne Kirchner of 3M, we have evaluated the competence of over 10,000 applicants for managerial and executive positions. Clients for these services include private industry, nonprofit organizations, and agencies oflocal, state, and federal government. As leaders in the field of work-related assessment, we have developed a wide range of screening and assessment tools designed to provide decision makers with accurate and powerful information regarding the specific capabilities of each individual. In the public and nonprofit arenas, we have extended our services to include the identification and notification of candidates who meet the necessary qualifications and may have interest in the position. These "np-front" services are designed to effectively notify the largest possible pool of qualified applicants, giving the hiring agency maximum choice in the subsequent selection process. PD I has conducted these procedures for a wide variety of positions including: . County Administrator . City Adrninistrator . City Manager . School Superintendent . School Principal . Library of Congress Professional Positions . Federal Trade Commission Professional Positions . U. S. Postal Service Executive Positions . Police Chief . Fire Chief . Personnel Director . City Clerk . City Engineer . State Nursing Association Director . Youth Agency Executive Director Copyright Itl 2003 Personnel De("i~jom Interndtional All Rights Reserved :\/3/2003 I 2 PDI.is also a nationwide leader in the design and implementation of fair employment practices. Weare frequently called upon to design selection procedures under federal consent decrees and U.S. Department of Justice auspices. We also have provided expert testimony in both state and federal courts regarding race and gender fairness of selection procedures. Our assessment procedures allow for the accurate comparison of both internal and external candidates. All procedures and processes for this project conform to applicable state, federal, and professional guidelines including EEO, Affirmative Action, Uniform Guidelines for Employee Selection, Minnesota Human Rights, and POST. The key staff for this project will be drawn from PDi's Public Sector Division, which specializes in services to agencies of government. The following individuals will serve as key staff members; all have had extensive experience in recruitment and selection of top executive public sector positions. . Project Manager-Harry Brull . Project Principal--Donna DiMenna Please see Appendix A for a description of these individuals' expenence.

I 3 ApPROACH AND METHODOLOGY Activity One: Job Analysisl Determination of Position Requirements PDI would conduct interviews with the Council and other key individuals to determine the mix of skills and abilities required in the position. Input would be gathered from staff through the use of a questionnaire. In addition, we would review relevant documentation such as position descriptions, organizational charts, etc. This information would be compiled into an updated position description and position profile, and become the basis for advertisements and other recruiting literature. These documents would also include details such as minimal qualifications, desired experience, and other factors relevant to recruitment and selection. As experts in the process of job analysis, PDI would ensure that the resulting necessary qualifications meet all legal guidelines and provide a blueprint against which to compare subsequent candidate qualifications. We estimate that this step could be completed within two weeks. Activity Two: Recruitment We would work with the City Council to determine the scope of the recruitment (regional, national, etc.). During our conversations, PDI would determine the location and current job responsibilities of individuals most likely to meet the position requirements. We would then designate a recruiting strategy including relevant publications, broadcast letters, and a mechanism for nominations that would yield the largest number of most qualified applicants for the position. We could coordinate a survey effort to determine the competitiveness of the salary package if necessary. Based upon past experience, we would anticipate that the combination of advertisement and specific letter writing would yield. at a minimum, 25 qualified applicants for the position. Depending upon publication schedules of any designated periodicals, this step would begin (he timeline. 3/312003 Copyright 'f.: 2003 Personnel Decisions lnternational All Rights Reserved I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I ,. I 4 Activity Three: Screening Based upon the minimum qualifications and position profile, PDI would screen applications to determine which individuals have the highest likelihood of meeting the position requirements. Based upon the job requirements and position profile, PDI would design the following instruments and procedures to conduct a first screen of resumes: . Assessment of minimum qualifications-Resumes would be checked to ensure that all minirnum qualifications are met. . Resume scoring form and decision rules-Based upon the position documentation, PDI would design a process whereby resumes may be quantitatively evaluated and scored to yield groupings of continuing candidates. We would ensure that all procedures meet requirements for affirmative action, EEOC, and federal and state law. As part of this step, we would ensure that all candidates receive information regarding the following: . Procedures to alert them of their continuing status in the process . Conditions regarding confidentiality . Selection process timetable Given the projected numbers of individuals who may apply, we would recommend a follow-up screening process that would involve mailing further requests for information to applicants. This will allow more valid decisions regarding which individuals should achieve semi-finalist status. Such requests for information may include: . "Targeted" resumes--Response to specific questions regarding the scope and extent of their experiences . Responses to essay questions . Documentation of specific accomplishments Using this two-tier screening process, we would expect that the screening effort would require approximately three to four weeks. Activity Four: Evaluation Depending upon the qualifications of candidates, we would expect to present approximately six to ten candidates for further selection procedures. Depending upon the wishes of the Council, we would designate a set of information-gathering procedures designed to produce more detailed infomlation about this smaller group of Copyright ~ 2003 Personnel Decisions [ntern;nional All RiShts Reserved 31312003 I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I " I 5 applicants. This set of techniques could include but not be limited to the following: . Oral interview panels-0ne or more formal interview procedures conducted by designated individuals such as Council members, staff members, etc. PDI has had considerable success using staff interviews for input into the selection of the chief executive. . Written testing-Based upon PDl's background in managerial assessment, instruments designed to yield infomlation regarding problem solving ability; faculty with words, nurnbers, and concepts; leadership style; interpersonal style; ete. . Assessment center activities--Simulations designed to assess the candidates' capabilities regarding specific tasks required of the position. These would include such experiences as In-basket Exercises, Press Conferences, Meetings with Subordinates. etc. The cornbination of approaches will yield the most accurate and stable assessment of the individual candidate's skills and abilities. PDI would compile information gathered in the form of confidential reports for each viable applicant and submit them to the Council for discussion and decisions regarding finalist status. Depending upon the nature and extent of procedures used, this step would require approximately 1:\'10 weeks. Activity Five: Finalist Assessment At this point, PDI would coordinate extensive information gathering regarding the finalist candidates. These activities could include: . In-depth appraisal . Primary and secondary reference checking . Computer press search . Design and training of Council Interview At this point, the Council would conduct interviews with finalist applicants. PDI would be able to assist in final negotiations after the Council has made its hiring decision. Based upon the procedures required, we estimate that this step could be accomplished in approximately two weeks. Copyright ~ 2003 Personnel Decisions International All Rights Reserved 31312003 I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I " I 6 Activity Six: Six-Month Performance Review As part ofPDl's responsibility, we would engineer a six-month performance review of the new City Administrator, which includes the following components: . Input from each Council member . Input from key staff . Summary and collation of results . Presentation of results to the Council . Face-to-face session with the new Administrator and Mayor/Council to discuss results This process allows for early "course corrections" if needed, helping to ensure success for the individual and the City.

Sathe Executive Search March 3,2003 Ms. Cynthia Young Deputy Clerk/Hurnan Resources Director City of Arden Hills 1245 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Re: City Administrator Search Dear Ms. Young: Sathe Executive Search is honored to be invited to submit this proposal to help you recruit and hire a City Administrator. If you select us we will not accept any similar metro area searches during this engagement in order to concentrate on your search until your assignment is completed. Sathe Executive Search was established in 1974. We have provided recruitment services for over 600 organizations and have filled nearly 2,700 positions. We have worked with many cities on numerous City Administrator/City Manager searches over the years. We are honored by the Greater Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce as the only search firm to receive their Keystone A ward. This recognition is presented for community service. Each year since 1988, we havc given at least 5% of our gross profits to support worthy community projects. Our brochure provides an overview of our search process. In this proposal we will address the finer points unique to the Arden Hills assignment. STEPS WE WILL FOLLOW IN THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS CITY ADMINISTRATOR SEARCH Survey, Consensus Building and Profile Development When your search team assembles to make a unified hiring decision, it is important from the onset that the goals and desired outcomes be clearly defined. For example, some team members may emphasize skills in planning and economic development, while others may favor skills in finance, human resources, communications skills, or community programming. To achieve a consensus, Sathe Executive Search will craft a set of proprietary survey tools (sample enclosed) to identify points of agreement and disagreement among the search team members. Additionally, during our meetings, we will listen to all views of what is needed for success in the position. With your approval, we would like to interview some city hall staff and active citizens to get their input and hclp them feel included in the selection process.

UJUJw.sathe.com Building Better Teams Since 1974 Ms. Cynthia Young City of Arden Hills March 3. 2003 Page 2 . The next step is to meet as a group to discuss areas of agreement and to reach a consensus on matters where opinions may differ. After differences are resolved, we will draft a position profile for your approval. The profile will clarify the scope ofthe position and the key attributes that you have agreed are important. The profile also serves as an effective recruiting tool after our initial contact with candidates. Targeted Custom Research aud Sourcing After the survey, consensus building, and profile are completed, we will build a target list to begin our research stage to identify and locate qualified candidates. We will initiate direct contact with targeted individuals and invite them to consider your opportnnity. We also ask for referrals. We may place tailored announcements in various media, including the Internet and our website at www.sathe.com.so that additional candidates may contact us. Our previous searches and extensive database are often a productive resource to generate qualified referrals, as well. It is likely that we will have contact with over one hundred prospective candidates during this phase of the search process. Methods to Identify Candidates I. Direct recruiting from targeted cities. 2. The Sathe candidate database developed over 28 years. 3. The Internet, including our website at www.sathe.com. 4. References from colleagues in the search industry. 5. Position announcements in select media. 6. Referrals from Arden Hills and search committee. . Search Firm Iuterviews and Evaluations Each candidate's background will be carefully reviewed to identify and select tbe most qualified candidates from those we have contacted. You may suggest candidates to us who you may like us to evaluate and include in our process. As a representative the City of Arden Hills, of we assure you that all candidates will be given equal consideration under the Title Seven Law and will not be discriminated against on the basis of age, race, gender, religion, national origin, etc. Progress Report and Meeting After approximately four weeks, we recommend that we meet with you to review our progress.

We will suggest several interview formats keeping in mind the Open Meeting Law. . . . Ms. Cynthia Young City of Arden Hills March 3. 2003 Page3 3600 Reference Check After you choose your finalists we will conduct thorough 360' reference checks respecting the fact that a recruited candidate may be interviewing with us confidentially and cannot risk having their current employer becoming aware of their interest in the City of Arden Hills City Administrator position. We coined the phrase '3600' because we endeavor to contact subordinates, peers, supervisors, and other individuals that may know the candidate from various perspectives. The reference checks will be benchmarked against the initial survey results and the position profile that we developed together at the beginning of the search to assure that we are on target. Additionally, we can contract an outside service to verify academic credentials, past employment records, driving records, education, credit standing, and potential legal findings. Outside Testing The final candidate may be evaluated further by an independent outside assessment organization to test the candidate against your position profile and make comparisons to others in the city administration field. The assessment organization can also analyze the candidate's interpersonal management style to validate or challenge the opinions you formed during your interview process. The Offer With your guidance we will prepare and present an offer and negotiate any points of difference on your behalf. We are accustomed to dealing with family issues arising from ajob change: spouse's career, children in school, real estate, etc. We will assist in every way to ensure a smooth transition from the candidate's current position to the City Administrator position with the City of Arden Hills. Follow-Up After the hire, we will remain "on call" to assist you if new issues develop after the candidate has started. We have a 95% success rate vs. an industry average of 77%. Timetable Searches of this kind typically take 60 to 90 days depending on your availability to schedule meetings and interviews. We feel certain that qualified candidates can be presented within 30 days of commencing the search.

We hope you will become familiar with the high quality of professionalism that we bring to executive search services. Most communities and professional staff people recognize the name Springsted as a financial advisor and management consulting firm that delivers a wide range of financial and economical development services to local governments. However, over the years we have assisted many clients behind the scenes evaluating and selecting key management staff. That changed in 1999 when we acquired a firm on the east coast named Municipal Advisors Incorporated. They were a smaller firm similar to Springsted in their service ethics and product mix; with one key difference. an emphasis on executive search. They are known from the Midwest to the mid- Atlantic for their quality executive search skills. Though we have undertaken several successful executive searches in Minnesota, we are still not a "household" name to most communities regarding executive recruitment and selection. In order to become a known player in this specialty in Minnesota, we are prepared to showcase our abilities to select clients. The proposal includes a comprehensive executive search with several distinct process including written reports and steps requiring slaff and/or Council involvement. Should the City of Arden Hills wish to scale back any of the less critical processes, Springsted would adapt the process as desired. We are proposing a professional service fee of $8,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses as described in our proposal. This is a substantial discount from our normal fee outlined in our response in the Fees section, which is $15,355. We recognize providing first-class, quality service to the City of Arden Hills we will enable us to enhance our recognition and reputation as a provider of executive search services to local governments in the Midwest.

WISCONSIN I Ie I I I I I I I t' I I I I I I " I I Understanding, A~roach and Time Table Section A Understanding of the Work Springsted understands the City of Arden Hills is seeking professional services to assist them in the recruitment of a new City Administrator. The City would like the consultant selected to evaluate the City's unique needs based on its financial condition, its existing program, its organization and other relevant factors to determine the appropriate areas of expertise and skills required by the candidates. The City would also like the consultant to evaluate the Mayor's and City Council's expectations for the position and the hiring process. Our approach to assisting the City in this endeavor is outlined in detail on the following pages. ~ SPRINGSTED Page 1 I Ie I I I I I I I it I I I I I I " I I City of Arden Hills Collect and Analyze Data Prepare Profile Recruit Candidates Executive Search Process NO Client Approval Place Ads NO YES .. Negotiate Terms Notify Remaining Candidates ~ SPRINGSTED Page 2 YES Notify Professional Associations Acknowledge and Screen Applications Evaluate Candidates Finalists Report Interview Finalists I Ie I I I I I I I t' I I I I I I \to I I City of Arden Hills The following project approach and methodology is recommended for recruiting and selecting a City Administrator for the City of Arden Hills. We would be willing to modify our approach and time schedule as requested by the City. 1. Position Analysis Collect and Analvze Data Springsted will meet with the Mayor and City Council to establish working relationships, define and refine the project's scope, procedures and timetable and to develop and review materials and details required to successfully complete the project. We will carefully review the existing position description for the City Administrator position, the City current organizational chart, the applicable sections of the City Code and any other relevant City policies. Clarifying discussions will be held with the City of Arden Hills's City Council and staff. Individual interviews will be conducted with the Mayor and each member of the City Council and, as requested, key staff, to determine the specific duties and responsibilities of the position, as well as individual expectations concerning desirable training. experience, professional and personal characteristics of candidates. Additionally, participants in these initial meetings will be asked to complete a Personnel Selection Profile questionnaire that will provide specific information about their expectations of the successful candidate. If requested, Springsted will conduct up to two focus groups with City officials. and those City residents identified in conjunction with the City Council, to solicit input on community needs and desires and to secure information to assist in formulating the position profile. Prepare Profile After the results of the interviews and questionnaires are analyzed and summarized, Springsted will prepare and submit a position profile, job criteria, employment conditions, and a City Profile to the Mayor, City Council and key staff for review and comment. We will modify or change the documents incorporating the City's comments into the final documents. Springsted would make its new decision-making tool "Option Finder" available to the City Council at an additional fee. This is a software tool with voting equipment that enables groups to make complex decisions more effectively. A City profile, a position profile, job criteria and employment conditions and parameters will be discussed and developed. An example of a position profile is included in the Appendix. ~ SPRINGSTED Page 3 I Ie I I I I I I I it I I I I I I " I I City of Arden Hills 2. Recruitment and Preliminary Screening Recruit Candidates Based on our own experience, contacts and files, Springsted will identify and actively seek individuals who meet or exceed the City's desired qualifications and invite and encourage them to apply. Although the position will be publicly advertised, many of the most qualified applicants will not respond to a public announcement. Our knowledge of some of the more qualified candidates will assist in the recruitment process because these candidates will submit applications, if invited. Springsted has established a reputation among local government managers for handling searches discreetly and confidentially in order to protect current employment arrangements. This reputation removes a possible barrier for prospective candidates with good employment situations. This is important because the City will want to attract those individuals to the process. Notify Professional Associations and Place Ads Springsted will initiate a comprehensive search and recruitment process based upon City Council direction. Announcements detailing the position will be placed in appropriate publications, and in professional journals, as selected by the City. We will also advise appropriate professional associations regarding the position opening. Springsted will also post the advertisement on our website at www.springsted.com. Acknowledae and Screen Aoolications Springsted will receive, acknowledge, review and screen each application we receive based on the criteria developed with the City. The information contained in the applications and resumes, and our knowledge of the organizations for which each applicant works, will also be evaluated. We will provide timely acknowledgment and periodic status reports by personal letter to all applicants on behalf of the Mayor and City Council. 3. Identification of Semi-Finalists Evaluate Candidates Springsted will identify those candidate's whose qualifications most closely match the criteria established by the City, analyze and assess the professional and personal qualifications and achievements of each, carefully matching their credentials with the selection guidelines and the position specifications. We will interview each of these candidates to verify and expand on their written data and to ensure the candidates' real and continuing interest in the position. Preliminary and discreet reference checks will be made with individuals who are knowledgeable about the candidate. Depending on the geographical location of the candidates, we may ask the candidate to submit a videotape responding to questions in order to ~ SPRINGSTED Page 4 I Ie I I I I I I I t' I I I I I I " I I City of Arden Hills save the travel expense of personal interviews for the semi-finalists. Other clients have found reviewing these videos to be very helpful when evaluating the final candidates. If requested by the City, background checks will be conducted and will include traffic, criminal, credit and credential verification. Personal and professional reference checks from professional associates and others, as appropriate, will confidentially be performed. Springsted's team will carefully check the background of each semi- finalist. To date, no candidate recommended by Springsted has been the subject of a criminal or ethics violation investigation. 4. Selection of Finalists/Candidate Presentation Based on our analysis and review of the semi-finalist candidates, Springsted will develop a list of finalist candidates. A personal interview will be conducted with each finalist and a detailed background and reference check will be conducted. Springsted will speak directly with individuals who are, or have been, in positions to evaluate the candidate's performance on the job. Finalist Reoort A report covering the finalist candidates will be prepared and Springsted will recommend, with written justification, the candidates most aligned with the City's specifications. The report submitted to the Mayor and City Council will include a professional profile of each candidate's qualifications, an assessment of his/her background, candidate biographies and references. Springsted will meet with the Mayor and City Council to present and discuss the recommendations, provide background information and assist in determining those candidates best qualified for consideration for appointment to the position of City Administrator. 5. Interview Coordination/Employment Negotiation Interview Finalists Springsted will assist the Mayor, City Council and Human Resource Director in designing the interview and selection process. Interview procedures will be recommended and sample interview questions developed. The consultant will coordinate the scheduling of finalists for interviews and will attend and participate in Ihe interviews, if requested. At the request of the City, we will coordinate an assessment center of the finalist candidates to determine the technical/managerial proficiency or personality testing to determine the fit of the finalist(s). ~ SPRINGSTED Page 5 I Ie I I I I I I I it I I I I I I " I I City of Arden Hills Select Candidate and NeGotiate Terms When the Mayor and City Council have identified the most desirable candidate, Springsted will assist, as needed, in the negotiation of final employment parameters, benefits and salary. AcknowledGe Ar)Dlications When a final offer has been made and accepted by the successful candidate, Springsled will notify all other applicants by personal letter of the Mayor and City Council's action. Additional Benefits Ongoing Services Springsted has a continuing interest in the success of this selection process. For that reason, we will return to the City, if requested, approximately ninety (90) days after the selected candidate for City Administrator begins working, to assist in the resolution of any problems that may have surfaced between the governing body and the new City Administrator. Springsted also commits to performing another executive search if the new City Administrator voluntarily resigns or is dismissed for cause during the first year of employment. Each of these services will be provided at no additional cost to the City, other than reimbursement for direct expenses incurred by Springsted. No Solicitation Policy Springsted feels very strongly that, once a candidate has accepted a position, that person has an obligation to be on the job for a good period of time. Springsted will not actively recruit anyone whom we have placed with a client during their employment with that client. ~ SPRINGSTED Page 6 I Ie I I I I I I I t' I I I I I I ~ I I City of Arden Hills Time Table Springsted takes pride in meeting its time commitments. The schedule to commence this project coincides with Springsted's completion of other studies. This will ensure that the proposed staff members will be available to concentrate on this project for the City of Arden Hills. Springsted is prepared to initiate the searches within 15 days after receiving the official notice to proceed. A proposed detailed project schedule is provided below. There are factors that impact on meeting the schedule that are beyond the consulting team's control. However, publication deadlines, videotaping and interview-schedules and appropriate resignation notices to present employers also impact the schedule. Springsted will make every effort to meet the City's goal without compromising the quality of the search.

However, in order to improve our recognition and reputation as a provider of executive search services to local governments in the Midwest we are proposing to perform these services for a professional fee not to exceed $8,500. Although our normal fee for the Executive Search would be $15,355, we are discounting this fee in order to gain exposure by providing first class service to the City of Arden Hills.

March 4, 2003 Ms. Cynthia Young Deputy Clerk/Human Resources Director City of Arden Hills 1245 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Dear Cynthia: Stone Murphy is pleased to be considered to conduct the City Administrator search for the City of Arden Hills. This proposal is submitted for your further consideration, and outlines our search strategy and process, an estimated timetable for completion. our professional fees and expenses and a list of public sector searches in Addendum A. SEARCH STRATEGY & PROCESS In order to successfully complete this assignment, Stone Murphy will perform the following steps: STEP ONE: INITIAL CONSULTATION The initial client consultation is very important in developing a thorough understanding and definition of the assignment as well as the specific search strategy for its implementation. Stone Murphy will conduct meetings with the Mayor, City Council and other appropriate personnel to understand and define: . . The culture of the City of Arden Hills. The position requirements and qualifications. The scope, goals and expectations of the position. . . Important information to obtain in these meetings could include: . Understanding of the structure and nature of the City of Arden Hills government. . Recent history of the municipal offices and the scope of services. . Strengths and weaknesses of the municipal offices and of the predecessor City Administrator. . Various relationships maintained by the City Administrator. . Political implications. . Current issues. . Prioritization of responsibilities. . Prioritization of position requirements. STEP TWO: POSITION DEVELOPMENT Using the City of Arden Hills' position description and the information obtained in Step One, Stone Murphy will develop a detailed position specification that will include: . A description of the City of Arden Hills and its government. . Position title. . Reporting relationships. . Other internal and external relationships. . SU111111ary of responsibilities. . . Specific accountabilities. . Desired skills, experience and abilities. . Educational requirements. . Compensation. 5500 Wapata Blvd. Suite] 020 Minneapolis, MN 55416 Tel 763.591.2300 Fax 763.591.2301 www.swnemurphy.com . . . , Once the position specification has been developed and approved, it then serves as the document for which a targeted search can be initiated and the guide used to evaluate each candidate's skills and abilities for the position. STEP THREE: RESEARCH AND CANDIDATE IDENTIFICATION Stone Murphy will use a research strategy to identify the most qualified talent. We will target government entities and other organizations as appropriate. Stone Murphy will directly recruit qualified personnel from those targets. Other research tools utilized will include our internal computerized database, directories and association lists, rosters and personal contacts from previously conducted searches. Several of our past searches may be of interest because of a similar research component. . City of Minneapolis, Finance Officer . City of Minneapolis, Communications Director . Minneapolis Public Schools, Director of Facilities Please see Addendum A for additional information. The experience of these searches gives us confidence that a research-driven strategy will yield both a broad pool of potential candidates and a qualified" short list" of recommended candidates. Stone Murphy will provide a research report at the time of Presentation and Recommendation of Candidates (Step Five), allowing the City of Arden Hills to monitor our progress and ensure that an aggressive search is being conducted. Stone Murphy will recruit and present candidates for all searches without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, Vietnam Era or disabled veteran starns, and ensure that the recruiting process is administered in a nondiscriminatory fashion. STEP FOUR: CANDIDATE ASSESSMENT Stone Murphy will interview and assess candidates according to their professional and personal qualifications in a lengthy personal interview . We assess candidates according to a demonstrated track record of successfully meeting goals and objectives in their past work history. In the interview, we measure that work history against the key professional and performance criteria, which is outlined in the position specification. We evaluate the personal and culrnral fit, which is equally as important as the technical qualitications. We also identify critical information such as compensation and career expectations. STEP FIVE: PRESENTATION AND RECOMMENDATION OF CANDIDATES We meet with the City of Arden Hills and present a report, roughly 30 days after initiating the search, that outlines the backgrounds and qualifications of the recommended candidates. This" short list" typically includes three to six candidates and summarizes our search strategy, findings and other issues relevant to the assignment (please see Addendum B). An additional report also includes documentation of all individuals contacted during the search. Stone Murphy will then facilitate arranging interviews for selected candidates. There should be no surprises at this meeting, as regular updates will have been previously provided. STEP SIX: REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND EVALUATION Once a mutual interest is demonstrated between the City of Arden Hills and the candidate(s), reference checking and background analysis are done. We personally conduct three to five references in addition to issuing a background check that identifies criminal and credit risk, and verifies academic credentials. 2 . . . Stone Murphy does not provide psychological assessment services. facilitate the use of those services should the committee desire. We would, however, be happy to STEP SEVEN: NEGOTIATION OF OFFER AND CLOSING Once a final candidate has been selected, we serve as an intermediary between the City of Arden Hills and the candidate to ensure a successful conclusion to the search. We provide recommendations on compensation structuring, offer presentation and negotiation strategies. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that once an offer is extended, a candidate will accept it. We try with great aSSurance to minimize turndowns by direct and frank conversations before an individual becomes a "true" candidate. We also try to provide notice early on in the process of any issues which need to be addressed before a candidate gets to the offer stage. We recommend that candidates spend as much time as possible with the City of Arden Hills employees, as this allows candidates to take themselves out of the search process if they feel the job or culture is not a good fit. Direct and frank conversations about compensation are critical to a successful outcome. Stone Murphy needs to understand the parameters of available compensation and how it might play into acceptance of an offer. We try to minimize surprises about compensation by discussing compensation with serious candidates at each stage of the process to keep expectations in line. STEP EIGHT: FOLLOW UP We believe our commitment goes beyond the completion of the search. Stone Murphy will maintain communication with the City of Arden Hills and the new employee during the transition and throughout the first year. CLIENT MANAGER Al Giesen, Managing Director, will function as the Manager on this assignment and is accountable for completion of the project. He will personally make initial contacts with potential candidates, interview and assess all appropriate candidates and provide references thereafter. Al joined Stone Murphy in 1996, and is responsible for managing national searches across a variety of industries and functions. Searches conducted include senior management positions in operations, accounting and finance, legal, human resources, sales and marketing. Al has performed all Stone Murphy public sector searches since 1996, with the exception of the University of Minnesota Foundation. Please see Addendum A. AI has 23 years experience in the search business. This includes eight years managing a group of seven Midwest offices. Al is a CPA and previously worked in public accounting for Arthur Andersen & Co. He is active in the Minnesota Society of Certified Public Accountants and spent time on their Board of Directors. He graduated from the University of South Dakota with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. TIMET ABLE We estimate 30 days for the completion of steps three (Research and Candidate Identification) through five (Presentation and Recommendation of Candidates). You will appreciate that once qualified candidates are selected for the interview process, the timetable begins to fall within the availability of the search committee. PROFESSIONAL FEES Our fee is 30% of the first year's compensation, which includes base salary plus estimated bonus. We request one-third of the estimated fee to initiate the search, one-third at the time of Presentation and Reconunendation of Candidates (Step Five) and the balance of the actual fee upon completion of the search. 3 . After discussions with the Mayor, City Council and other appropriate personnel, if the City of Arden Hills prefers, Stone Murphy will be happy to establish a flat fee rather than a variable fee based on a percentage of compensation. At this time, it is not possible to know the parameters of the search, and therefore it is not possible to establish a flat fee. In addition to our professional fees, we are reimbursed for direct and indirect expenses related to the search. Direct expenses include travel expenses for interviewing and related items incurred by a potential candidate or consultant assigned to the project, advertising, long distance telephone costs, messengers and other miscellaneous items. Expenses will be billed monthly. All travel expenses will be approved by the City of Arden Hills prior to being incurred. Our fee plus expenses will not exceed $32,000, unless the City of Arden Hills prefers a geographic scope of search beyond the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. The estimated breakdown of the $32,000 is as follows: Expenses Research Advertising Miscellaneous Long Distance Delivery Administrative Support (approx. 30 hours @ $35/hr) Al Giesen (more than 175 hours) . $1,500 500 150 50 50 $2,250 $1,050 $28,700 We look forward to speaking with you and the committee further about our search services and learning more about the po,~tion.

June 19,2002 Mr. John Moir City Coordinator City of Minneapolis 350 South 5'" Street Room #325M Minneapolis, MN 55415 Dear John: The following summarizes our progress to date for the search for the Communications Director. PROCESS Stone Murphy set out to identify individuals with communications experience in the public or institutional sectors. Our efforts were then focused on those individuals with significant leadership capacity combined with a breadth of communications skills and experiences. . OUTCOME This process resulted in Stone Murphy contacting approximately 84 individuals within the local market. As a result of this recruiting effort Stone Murphy interviewed 14 potential candidates and recommends the following*: xxxx Co- Fonnder Brickley O'Toole XXXX Director of Public Affairs Metropolitan Airports Commission XXXX Client Services Director/Senior Counselor New School Communications XXXX Vice President, Media Relations Padilla Speer Beardsley, Inc. XXXX Director of Communications Minnesota Department of Revenue XXXX Former Investigative Reporter KSTP-TV * Resumes for each candidate follow. The following were noted during the search: . . Candidates consistently had three questions for which I did not have an adequate response. What is the budget for the communications group? What is the division of responsibilities with Laura Sether in the Mayor's office? What kind of relationship can I expect with Laura? 5500 Wayzata Blvd. Suite 1020 Minneapolis, MN 55416 Tel 763.591.2300 Fax 763.591.2301 lNww.stonemurphy.com . . . , . Compensation: Our starting salary of $89,000 is adequate for most, but not all, communications professionals in the public and institutional sectors. Those professionals with appropriate experience and currently in the corporate or agency sectors, were beyond our reach. . Within the public and institutional sectors, it was difficult to find candidates who had experience managing a large staff. . Almost everyone who expressed an interest in the position asked if they would have to become a resident to be considered. Obviously, Twin Cities residents do not know the law was changed years ago. In the absence of a firm like Stone Murphy, one wonders how many qualified candidates have not applied for positions with the City in the past because they assumed they would have to move within city limits. We have identified a strong slate of candidates and recommend beginning the interview process.

Background on The Wood Group Our History The Wood Group was established in 1985 as a Minnesota corporation, and has since grown to be one of the Upper Midwest's largest full service retained search firms. Our generalist approach to search, which focuses on serving a diverse group of clients extremely well, has resulted in a more than 80 percent "repeat rate" with our clients. This proud achievement is a clear reflection of the satisfaction, loyalty and trust we have earned over the years. . Our broad client base ranges from the Fortune 100 to the public and nonprofit sector. Over 75 percent of our search work has been completed on a national basis and has allowed us to build a quality, nationwide network of individuals who possess the high level of skills and expertise our clients require. In addition to developing extensive national networks, we continue to maintain strong local ties, and have a significant number of clients based in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Our ongoing commihnent to community involvement has enabled us to be particularly successful in recruiting candidates to the Twin Cities who are an excellent fit with the unique profile of this area. The Wood Group's clients are served by a dynamic, seven-member team of search consultants, and benefit from full in-house research and database capabilities. The firm's search experience.is varied, ranging from positions in senior general management to a broad cross-section of functional skills. Our Philosophy . The Wood Group has built a successful practice by focusing on consistent commihnent to client service. We are dedicated to the principle of uncomprornised professionalism, and undertake each search with the view that our most important responsibility is to provide discreet, insightful, highly professional representation for our clients. Successful search relationships are based on trust. Toward this end, we work to ensure that mutually agreed-upon objectives, values and methods are met, while recognizing that "fit" is truly the key issue. We establish a strong fit with our clients by understanding their needs and culture and using this knowledge to identify highly compatible candidates. By -3- . finding top-notch candidates who are an excellent fit, we provide positive solutions to search needs. As an experienced group of search professionals, we uphold a strong code of ethics. We combine objectivity, expertise, confidentiality, and the demonstrated ability to access a diverse group of key leaders. In addition, The Wood Group emphasizes equal opportunity standards within the search process. Inherent in our philosophy is our unique approach to research and candidate generation. Senior professionals are involved throughout all phases of a search, including making the initial candidate contacts. The value in this approach is that the person making the initial contact is extremely knowledgeable about the client organization and position and able to present the opportunity with uncompromised professionalism. The Wood Group has invested heavily in this unique approach to search by building a highly qualified team of search professionals. Our People . The Wood Group team of recruiting professionals has broad-based experience, including extensive line management in both large and small companies, as well as public sector and nonprofit experience and involvement. Our approach to search is based on team participation, with each member of the group contributing his or her own networks to every search assignment. We also assign a team of professionals to every search. This leads to a deep pool of contacts and the ability to quickly conduct fresh research, and also enhances our ability to pursue alternative avenues to search solutions, speeding the search process overall. The enclosed brochure includes short biographies of our search staff and will acquaint you with their backgrounds. We are very proud of the highly qualified team we have assembled, and feel it is one of the strongest in the industry.

The Wood Grou.p's Relevant Search Ex.perience Over the past 16 years, The Wood Group has served more than 175 clients in a wide range of search assignments. We have particular expertise in senior level management positions, and have done significant amounts of work in general management, sales and marketing, finance, manufacturing, and human -5- resources. Our industry experience is purposefully very broad, ranging from consumer package goods and financial services, to manufacturing and business- to-business services. Our public/nonprofit sector search practice represents an increasingly growing portion of our business and we have compiled an impressive record in these segments. . Experience specifically relevant for the Oty of Arden Hills: I. Extensive search experience at leadership levels. The Wood Group has conducted more than 75 President, CEO, COO, Executive Director and General Management searches in the last five years (list attached). II. Specific Experience with Municipal/Governmental searches. We have conducted 12 governmental searches, many in the last three years.

Particular expertise working with Search Committees (40+ searches). In addition to providing search committees with an excellent choice of candidates, we have developed a number of tools to aid search committees in their process. The Wood Group provides a detailed position description, fully formatted resumes with narratives on candidates to be interviewed by the committee, help in formulating key interview questions and format, specially designed grids for candidate rating, and more. Our goal is to handle all of the logistics and details so that search committees can focus on the candidates. v. Commitment to diversity. In every search, The Wood Group is committed to proactively providing the client with a slate of qualified candidates, including representation from diverse communities. We have extensive experience in proactively sourcing in diverse communities, and have had numerous successful candidates with diversity backgrounds. C. Our Approach and Procedures The timing and specifics of our search process are determined by our client's needs and the nature of the search to be undertaken. While the basic process remains the same, each search is approached with a fresh perspective, creative planning and thorough primary research. Through our individualized process, we seek to ensure that our clients see an appropriate selection of candidates, yet avoid inundation from excessive resumes or unsuitable choices. Though disciplined process is important to the integrity of the final result, we are always mindful of the client's degree of urgency and will respond with the appropriate resources of The Wood Group to ensure an expeditious timetable. Phase One - Orientation The objective of this phase is to arrive at a specific in-depth understanding of the organization and the position in question as well as a solid grounding in the kind of candidate personality and cultural fit necessary for successful integration into your organization. Activities include stakeholder meetings and document review, as agreed upon with the client. A sample protocol of Orientation Questions is attached. -7- . One tangible product of this phase is a written Position Description, which will be submitted for your review and approval. This document will briefly describe your organization, delineate the official scope/responsibilities of the open position, and provide an ideal candidate profile with background requirements. In addition to serving as a marketing document for potential candidates during the search process, this document will confirm our common understanding of the search parameters. We are usually able to complete this process within one week. Phase Two - Research and Candidate Generation The Wood Group believes that many of the best potential candidates are not actively looking for a new employment opportunity. So, we focus our resources and efforts beyond advertising and posting to identify candidates who are currently employed. Utilizing our internal research resources and existing database, we will access our broad network to identify those potential candidates. The precise focus of this phase will be determined through information obtained during Orientation. Specific industries or individuals may be targeted, as well as preferred organizations with a track record of excellence, innovation or superiority. . During this phase, we will thoroughly research and contact potential candidates within the designated parameters of the search. We will also expect to uncover some alternative resources likely to provide individuals with the appropriate background and profile. Throughout this extensive sourcing process, we will professionally present the opportunity, assess resumes, and conduct in-depth phone screens. Completion time for the initial Research and Candidate Generation Phase is usually two to four weeks following Orientation. However, interviewing begins simultaneously, and original research continues throughout the search as we continue to build depth in the candidate pool. Please note that although the majority of our resources and efforts are focused on sourcing candidates who may not be actively pursuing new employment opportunities, we will advertise the position in appropriate publications and post it with appropriate on-line recruiting sources as agreed upon with the client. Phase Three - The Wood Group Interviews Based on thorough phone screens of resumes culled from the Research and Candidate Generation Phase, initial in-person interviews of qualified candidates will be conducted by The Wood Group. The Interviewing Phase results in a roster of previewed and interested candidates. . Approximately 30-45 days following the commencement of the search, we expect to present a formal Candidate Review of potential prospects. The purpose of this -8- . meeting is to review search progress, determine appropriateness of direction, and receive feedback on preliminary candidates. This meeting also serves to reaffirm the essential requirements of the position. During the Candidate Review, The Wood Group presents summaries of potential candidates' backgrounds, including career chronologies, educational credentials and compensation situations. Most of them will have been personally interviewed by The Wood Group at this time. From the Candidate Review meeting, we would expect to identify a subset of candidates to schedule for initial client interviews, as well as others meriting additional follow-up by us. Phase Four - Client Interviews . The Wood Group provides full in-depth interview evaluations and resumes for all candidates who will be proceeding to this phase. In addition, we will coordinate scheduling of client interviews for initial and, if appropriate, subsequent rounds, handling all logistics, travel arrangements, etc., in this process. In addition, we will contact each finalist immediately following his or her interview to obtain feedback from the candidate's perspective. . For committee searches, The Wood Group also provides specially designed tools to aid the committee in interviewing candidates and assessing the overall candidate pool. Please note that research and candidate generation activities continue throughout the remainder of the search process, to augment the viable candidate group. Phase Five - References, Offer Phase and Closure From interviewed candidates, we will work with you to develop a short list of finalists. These candidates' credentials will be verified, including academic, credit, criminal and driving records, and their references reviewed, using our best efforts gained from years of experience. Referencing is a particularly important part of the search process. In addition to verifying the facts of an employment record, our references will address pertinent issues such as management ability, leadership style, and interpersonal skills. In addition, we will fully explore any issues specific to the needs of the particular search. We consider it important to check references on a variety of levels, including superiors, subordinates and peers, to gain the most accurate composite of the candidate under consideration. . When a final selection has been made, The Wood Group will participate in the offer process, as desired by the client. We are skilled in offer acceptance negotiations and can assist throughout the pre-employment process. Issues involving relocation, if any, can be addressed at this juncture, including provision of necessary housing, schooling and tax information. -9- . . . Upon final offer acceptance, all considered candidates will be formally apprised of the search's conclusion. Our goal with this closure, as throughout the search process, will be to represent our clients in a professional and positive manner. Typically, we will also maintain our relationship with successful candidates after they begin work. The exchange of feedback is frequently helpful, and allows us, when it is appropriate, to provide additional "transition" assistance. D. Our Fees and Payment Schedule We assume that the City Administrator search will be conducted on a local basis. We will complete this assignment for a flat fee of $27,000, inclusive of our expenses. Our billing process is to invoice one-third of our expected fee upon agreement to commence the search and a second one-third 30 days later. The final third is billed only upon completion of the search. This approach represents a difference from many search firms and illustrates our commitment to performance on behalf of our clients. We do not bill in full until our services have been completed in full. E. Our Guarantee We include with our services a guarantee to replace any candidate who has been terminated for cause or who has resigned within six months of beginning his or her new position. -lQ- . !i; - ...;I Eo< Z ~ ea ~ - ~ ~ II. ~ o a:: CJ a o o ;: ~ ... ~ ~ U a ~ '';: a .
