Raye, Executive Director <br />2233 University Avenue West—Suite 300 <br />St. Paul, MN 55114 <br />January 25,2006 <br />City of Roseville <br />Neal Beets, Roseville City Manager <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, Minnesota 55113 <br />Dear Neal, Mayor Klausing, and Council Members: <br />This is to serve as a proposal in response to the request by Roseville City Council for <br />help in identifying work styles, team building, and strategic goal setting and planning. As <br />Executive Director of the Center for Policy, Planning, and Performance (CPPP) I will <br />serve as the primary consultant to the Council on this project. <br />CPPP is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that provides training and consulting <br />services exclusively to public and nonprofit sector clients. We believe that the public <br />sector has unique duties to produce a public good, operates in a unique context of <br />community expectations and oversight, and must be prudent and conservative in its use of <br />ti�ie and resources. We also believe that our experience, values, and approach provide a <br />unique understanding that meets your needs effectively and efficiently and in genuine <br />partnership. <br />As you requested in your RFP, I have included a description of the approach and process <br />I propose, a summary of previous work and references, budget, deliverables, expected <br />outcomes, and my resume as the person who would be providing the services. <br />L Context <br />The work of leadership and management in the public sector has unique challenges and <br />opportunities. Individuals must compete with one another during an election process and <br />engage in significant outreach to voters about the needs and vision of the City. They must <br />also be assertive and independent in the expression of their own positions and opinions. <br />Yet, once elected, they are expected to become collaborative parmers and act as a team to <br />lead and guide a complex organization with wide ranging and often irreconcilable <br />conflicts and �riorities. The Council and Mayor also carry responsibilities and ethical <br />obligations regarding the prudent use of public funds and often are forced to make <br />decisions in a"fishbowl" environment of scrutiny and public cynicism. <br />Roseville has tal{en a va�-ietv of approaehes to serve the needs of its elected officials in <br />� out �It�ir �1.ui]�5, �'h�.i+� �t�iv� i►i+��}i}�:w� �1t��kR?ng ,ra�ttr�i�, tri�li-L•u.�fEiis�� S�e�sit3tt5, <br />s r=- . •{ �yU+dYRnC!!ti .lapl:.l � P�/OY�4�01 <br />� �! <br />, <br />
