1. Approval of Search Services Agreement with Slavin Management Consultants for
the City Manager Selection Process.
Debbie Dahl,
Human Resources Director, reviewed the staff report which recommended
approval of a contract with Slavin Management Consultants for the recruitment and selection of
a new City Manager. The contract had been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and
would become effective November 13, 2012 pending City Council approval. The cost of the
contract and any related expenses will be paid from contingency funds. After the contract is
approved, Slavin Management will begin interviews with City Council and staff the week of
November 26, 2012.
Ms. Dahl stated she spoke with the consultant about keeping the fees from exceeding the contract
agreement due to the City Council's concerns. She said the consultant agreed that he would try
to maintain the costs and not exceed the fees. He felt the fees that might change would be the
actual costs depending on where the candidates would be coming from.
