Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 20, 2013 Page 36 Further discussion ensued regarding additional postings with the LMC, IMPA, ICMA or other agencies, typically used with City Manager searches, with no de- finitive decision at this point. Councilmember Laliberte noted that, by stipulating that the City would not pay relocation fees, it may eliminate interest as well; but advised that she would be looking for the City to control the entire process; with concurrence of Coun- cilmember Willmus. Mayor Roe noted that the general compensation listing may also reduce the appli- cant pool. Discussion on the profile itself ensued, with determination that the 2006 profile model would be the basic format, with the top ten ranked or prioritized in order of importance, and remainder of the free form included, with a checklist of ten crite- ria for management style, also ranked in order of priority. Mayor Roe confirmed that the profile should be completed by individual Coun- cilmembers, Department Heads Commission Chairs, with direct reports to the City Manager segregated. Further discussion included when the profile would be put on Survey Monkey and potential response time; timing concerns; scheduling of the Special meeting after June 3rd; necessary time for selection of a Search Firm and development of an RAP and bid turnaround with an estimated cost of $10,000 for their partial in- volvement in the process (e.g. scenario playing; local psychologist review; exten- sive background and reference checks; and presentation of top five final candi- dates to the City Council); with some local search companies available that were not in the mix in 2006, and possibly providing a more reasonable price other than a national search would require. Ms. Bacon offered her willingness to assist in the process, and her natural in- volvement through access to neo.gov, while appreciating assistance from an out- side consultant for a portion of the process and for their expertise. Ms. Bacon re- minded Councilmembers that her time was also considerably involved right now in implementing the HRIS program. Councilmember Laliberte suggested implementation of a Council subcommittee, and volunteered to serve. Mayor Roe thanked Councilmember Laliberte for her willingness, and suggested that Councilmember Etten also be involved, since he and Councilmember Willmus had serve on the City Manager Evaluation subcommittee; and could pro- vide synergy if either was interested.
