City Planner
Per Council direction on November 23, 1998, attached is a proposal from The
Brimeyer Group for the city planner executive search. The proposal is
slightly less than what the city was charged over two years ago when we
used The Brimeyer Group to help in the hiring of Paul Steinman. During a
meeting with Mr. Brimeyer, Paul and I discussed the possibility of having
Jim also help with the search for an assistant for Paul which is in the 1999
EDA and HRA budgets. If the Council approv.es hiring The Brimeyer Group
for the city planner search, then Paul will be discussing some additional
services with the EDA on December 14, 1998. Having Jim do some of the
economic development assistant recruitment for us may have some very
positive effects in promoting Elk River as a growing progressive community
and in attracting interested city planner applicants.
Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council approve the hiring of The Brimeyer
Group for the city planner executive search as outlined in the attached
proposal.

The Search Process
We anticipate the search for the Planning Director for the City of Elk River will take from
three to four months (90 to 120 days) from the time we are retained to the time the City
Council makes an offer. This is somewhat dependent on the time required to screen
candidates, and the availability of the City Administrator and the City Council to review
consultant reports and conduct final interviews. We have prepared a preliminary timetable
which corresponds to the various steps in the process. After further discussions with the City
Administrator and the City Council we will refine the timetable and develop a target date for
the reporting of the new Planning Director.
PHASE I
Position Profile
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 with the City
Administrator, City Council, Department Heads, and key staff 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; management style, and organizational priorities. The listing 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.
Of equal importance to the success of the search is identifying the community priorities and
environment in which the Planning Director must function. We would expect to meet with
selected representatives from the community to further assess the climate within which the
selected candidate will most effectively perform. This may be accomplished through individual
interviews or through a public forum. Prior to our meetings we will supply an Ideal Candidate
Profile Survey to assist the interviewees in assembling their ideas on what should be included in
the Position Profile.
As a result of the 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. The final Position Profile
becomes the document against which we evaluate prospective candidates.
During the meeting with the City Council agreement will be reached concerning the number of
qualified candidates that will be interviewed before making a final decision.

PHASE II
Place Announcements - Recruit Candidates
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 identify potential candidates through personal contacts
with public sector professionals and other members of similar organizations. In addition, we
will use our research staff to 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. We will directly recruit specific individuals with established
patterns of talent, stability, and success.
Review Resumes and Screen Candidates
Numerous prospects will be screened against the Position Profile. From these individuals we
will compile a broad list of prospects for the job. An initial confidential telephone contact will
be made to promising candidates to determine their suitability and interest.
After our research and sourcing is completed, several qualified candidates emerge for
evaluation and comparison. Thorough, intensive, one-on-one interviews will be conducted with
the leading candidates by our staff. 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 Elk River position.
Progress Report
Following the screening and evaluation, we will prepare a Progress Report that will provide
information on 7 to 9 candidates who have been judged to meet or exceed the requirements of
the position. This Progress Report will provide specific information on the individuals'
educational and work history; accomplishments and growth potential; strengths and possible
limitations. We will personally deliver and review these reports with the City Administrator
and the City Council. On the basis of this review, four to six candidates will be selected for
further consideration. At this time we will propose a schedule for interviewing the candidates.
PHASE III
Background Checks
Prior to the interviews, we will investigate the backgrounds of the finalist candidates through
discreet telephone and personal reference checks. We will talk with peers and former
associates of these candidates. It is our practice to speak directly with individuals who are, or
have been, in positions to evaluate the candidates' job performance. We will verify the finalist
candidates' credentials through an educational, criminal, and credit check.

Assessment (No additional fee)
The Brimeyer Group has the authorization and the ability to administer an assessment tool
entitled "The DiSC Behavioral Management System" designed to assist individuals in
understanding their style and to assess the environment in which they operate most effectively.
The finalist candidates will be provided with a questionnaire from which an extensive computer
report is generated.
The report is very specific and covers the following areas:
1. Internal motivation
2. Self-management strategies
3. Identification and management of conflict
The City will learn insights into the strengths, weaknesses, and likelihood of success for each
final candidate before hiring and how to best manage and work effectively with each candidate.
The above assessment is available at the option of the City.
Client Interview and Selection Process
The interview schedule will allow the candidates to get acquainted with the community and
community leaders and visit with the staff on an informal basis. We culminate the process with
individual and group interviews. Prior to the interviews we will provide the interviewers with
some helpful material on interviewing techniques and will discuss the proposed procedures to
be used in the selection process including an evaluation form and a list of questions for possible
use by the interviewers. Extensive material including background and reference checks will be
provided on each candidate prior to the interview. If possible, all interviews will be scheduled
within a period of one to two days depending upon the desire of the City. A consultant will be
present at each interview.
Selection
After the interviews we will meet with the City Administrator and Councilmembers 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 at each stage of the process.
Negotiating Compensation Package
The Brimeyer Group, Inc., will take great care that the City of Elk River secures an 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 the
offer which may have significant bearing on its final acceptance or rejection.

Additional Services
Ao
If requested by the City, The Brimeyer Group, Inc., can 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 the Candidates who are not hired.
B°
Lifestyles, personal values, and dual career households are factors that influence an
individual's decision to change jobs. We pay careful attention to all circumstances arising
from a job change including adjustments in compensation and benefits, spouse careers, real
estate issues, family concerns, and relocation details.
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. We will make
contact to assess the fit from both the City's and the candidate's points of view. In the
unlikely event that unexpected concerns have developed, this follow-up contact is intended
to identify potential issues early so that adjustments can be made, if necessary.
Work Program (Performance Evaluation)
If requested by the City Administrator, we agree to assist the City and the Planning Director in
developing a Work Program after a six-month period that outlines the expectations of the City
and the Planning Director. The only cost incurred for this service will be expenses. The Work
Program will contain objectives for the Planning Director to accomplish in the ensuing 12 to 18
months.
Guarantee
If the City utilizes the entire process, Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III, as described, The
Brimeyer Group offers an 18-month guarantee on the effectiveness of the Planning Director.
Should the City determine it necessary to terminate the Planning Director 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.
Should there be substantial changes in the political situation at the City of Elk River and a
decision is made to terminate the Planning Director 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.
