SCHEDULED ITEM
C-1
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: THERESA ST. PETER, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
VIA: JAMES MAKSHANOFF, CITY MANAGER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2014
SUBJECT: CITY MANAGER RECRUITMENT—SEARCH FIRM PROPOSALS
RECOMMENDATION
City Council to consider options as presented below.
BACKGROUND
James Makshanoff, City Manager, has accepted a position with another city. His last day with the
City of Azusa is September 18, 2014. The City Council will need to determine what should be done
to fill the City Manager vacancy.
Three options available to the Council to fill the position are:
1. Appoint a current staff member to the position.
2. Have the Human Resources Department conduct a recruitment to fill the position.
3. Hire an outside consulting firm to conduct a recruitment to fill the position.
Should the City Council want to proceed with Option 2, Human Resources staff will prepare a job
announcement flyer and place advertising with various agencies to attract a pool of candidates for
the position. Western Cities Magazine would be one of the advertising methods to be used and an
ad would have to be submitted to them by the last week in September to be published in the
November edition of the magazine.
With regard to option 3, I have requested proposals from four consulting firms that conduct
executive recruitments. One firm was unable to provide a proposal as they are currently so busy
they would not be able to get a proposal to us until the end of September. Three firms did respond
to the proposal. All three of the firms have conducted a number of City Manager recruitments and
thus would be familiar with potential candidates. The pricing provided by each of the firms to
conduct the recruitment ranges from $24,400 to $24,900. The recruitment timeline indicated in the
proposals ranged from 14 — 17 weeks, which would take the selection date out to January or
February 2015. A spreadsheet is attached showing the information specific to each of the proposals.
Page 1 of 2
FISCAL IMPACT
Should the City Council decide to utilize Option 1, the fiscal impact should be minimal, depending
on the current salary of the selected staff member in relation to the current City Manager salary.
Should the City Council decide to utilize Option 2, approximately $6,000 will need to be allocated
to conduct the recruitment.
Should the City Council decide to utilize Option 3, approximately $25,000 will need to be allocated
to conduct the recruitment.
