February 15, 2012 Lisa Marley Director of Human Resources City of San Angelo 106 S. Chadbourne Street San Angelo, Texas 76902 Dear Ms. Marley: Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to assist the City of San Angelo in your search for a new City Manager. This proposal provides a comprehensive overview of the approach we would take in your search, including our qualifications, scope of work, references, and the standard work plan we would follow in conducting your search for a new City Manager as well as complete details on professional fees and expenses. I founded SGR in 1999 and am the sole owner. SGR’s corporate headquarters is in Keller, Texas, and we also have satellite offices in Austin-Texas, Bloomington Springs‐Tennessee, and Fort Rucker‐Alabama. SGR is widely recognized as one of the leading local government executive search firms, and many of our clients have used our services for multiple key positions, reflecting the quality of our work and the long‐term nature of our relationships. While we have a broad array of search experience, our specialty is conducting executive searches for high quality of life cities in Texas and Oklahoma similar to San Angelo. SGR has the unique ability to provide a personalized and comprehensive search service to meet your needs. The not-to-exceed price in this proposal includes: as many briefings with city council as needed, recorded online interviews with semifinalist candidates to save you money before you fly in candidates for in-person interviews, in-depth media reports on each finalist candidate, psychometric assessment reports on each finalist candidate, and a background investigation report on your top candidate. No other firm can offer such a comprehensive list of services at a cost-effective price.

Page 3: Agenda Packet Part III

I would like to draw your attention to a few key items that distinguish SGR from other search firms:

SGR’s website, where this position would be posted, received over 15,000 local government officials visiting it last month, with over 250,000 page hits – more than any other local government search firm website in the nation.

SGR’s job board (separate website), where this job will also be posted, is the largest local government job board in the nation, with an additional 8,000 local government job seekers visiting it each month – more than any other municipal job board.

My “10 in 10 Leadership and Innovation Update” reaches 7,000 of the most innovative and leading edge thinkers in local government in the nation each week. This position would also be posted in that newsletter and no other search firm has anything similar to reach the real opinion leaders in all 50 states.

I speak at an average of one state or national conference per month providing higher visibility and a stronger network among leading financial and municipal officials than any other firm comes close to.

SGR trains over 1,000 city employees each month in live training classes.

We have online training clients in 11 states.

SGR has been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine, American Express Open Forum, Texas Event Planning, and the Ladders among others due to our reputation for dramatic customer service, and our innovative business strategies that are changing the way local government recruits, selects, and develops their executives.

Of course with all of that... only one thing matters... results! We are so confident of our ability to deliver exceptional results that SGR offers the strongest guarantee in the search industry. If a candidate selected in our process leaves in less than two years, for any reason whatsoever, we will conduct the search again for no additional professional fee, no questions asked. SGR is the only search firm that can lay claim to having had only one department head placement not work out in almost 15 years of conducting searches. This proposal lists all of our clients, and we welcome you to call any of them blind. The simple fact is that no other firm can touch our reputation for being trusted by both clients and candidates, and for successful long term placements. Alan Taylor and I will personally serve as the co-managers for your search and will handle all aspects of it related to candidate and client interaction. This includes all onsite interviews with key city staff, ongoing status reports to the City, direct recruitment activities, responses to prospect inquiries, initial triage evaluation of resumes, preliminary

Page 4: Agenda Packet Part III

interviews with candidates, facilitation of meetings to select Semifinalists and again to select Finalists, and assistance in employment negotiations with the candidate. The Amarillo newspaper editorialized that our search process “approached perfection” and praised the City for the outstanding way the search process was conducted and how it built confidence in the community about the ultimate selection. A simple Google search will reveal that we are the only major search firm that has never had a single article where a city official was critical of SGR. By contrast, our two largest competitors have had elected officials reach such levels of frustration that they have been willing to criticize the firm and their processes in the newspaper in the middle of a search! We are truly excited about the prospect of doing this search for the City of San Angelo. I look forward to discussing in more detail how we can help you select an exceptional City Manager and am available to visit in person with you at your convenience. The City of San Angelo is a high quality of life community, and is deserving of a search firm who will be committed to a home run City Manager selection. I hope you will give us the opportunity to visit with you in person about the possibilities. Respectfully submitted,

Ron Holifield CEO SGR Executive Search [email protected] 214-676-1691

Company Profile

Background Strategic Government Resources (SGR) was founded in 1999 and is fully owned by former City Manager Ron Holifield. Ron spent two high profile decades in city management, which included service as City Manager in several Texas cities. He left city management in 1996 and purchased Government Relations Specialists, a small company that specialized in representing companies that do business with government at all levels. In a little over three years, he doubled the size of the company, growing it into one of the 50 largest lobby firms in Texas. However, Ron missed the sense of making a difference that city management had provided. In response, he sold that company in 1999 and founded SGR for the express purpose of helping to transform local government through employee recruitment, selection, assessment, training, development, coaching, and career path planning. SGR is organized into three primary business lines, Executive Recruitment, Employee Development, and Consulting and is recognized as one of the leading local government executive search firms in Texas. Many of our clients have used our services for multiple key positions, reflecting the high quality of our work and the long-term nature of our relationships.

Qualifications

The SGR Advantage SGR’s executive recruiting services are unequaled. SGR provides a high degree of personal attention to each executive search that we conduct, and our role is to find the person who is the very best possible match for you. SGR devotes a tremendous amount of energy to understanding your organization’s unique culture, environment, and local issues to ensure a great “fit” from values, philosophy, and management style perspectives. Finding “qualified” candidates is not very difficult…the hard part is finding qualified candidates who are the right “fit” for your organization. A “leading edge” candidate and a “safe harbor” candidate often look the same on paper but will have profoundly different impacts on your organization. SGR brings practical experience from years of city management and from almost two decades of successful recruitment. The Network SGR maintains one of the most extensive private networks of local government professionals in the nation. In addition to providing employee recruitment and development services to almost 200 cities, counties and utility districts in four states, SGR previously managed member relations for over 250 government agencies in 23 states for the Innovation Groups (IG). Ron Holifield, Alan Taylor, Bill Peterson, Chester Nolen, Ron Robinson, and Howard Giles each have a national network of relationships developed through years of public service. While your project will be managed by Alan Taylor, Senior Vice President (resume attached), with the direct involvement of CEO Ron Holifield, the entire group works as a team to leverage each of their personal national networks to assist with each search. This team brings over 150 years of public service experience in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico and Ohio. In addition, SGR staff members are active on a national basis, in both local government organizations and professional associations. Many SGR staff members frequently speak and write on issues of interest to local government executives. Only SGR can work all of the relevant networks as a peer and insider, resulting in better recruitment, better investigation, better intelligence, better information, and better final decisions. Accessibility Your search will be handled directly by Ron Holifield, CEO, and Alan Taylor, Senior Vice President. Ron and Alan are accessible at all times throughout the search process and can be reached by candidates or clients, even at night and on weekends, on cell phone, home phone, or via email.

Trust of Candidates SGR has a track record of remarkable confidentiality and providing wise counsel to candidates and next generation leaders; we have earned their trust. As a result, SGR is typically able to get exceptional prospects to become candidates, even if they have declined to become involved in other search processes, merely because candidates trust SGR to assess the situation well, to communicate honestly and bluntly, and to maintain their confidentiality. Comprehensive Needs Assessment SGR invests an extraordinary amount of effort into understanding the organizational and community culture, environment, and local issues that shape what you are looking for in an executive leader, how SGR can most effectively look for the right match for you, and how SGR can most effectively assist prospective candidates in understanding your unique needs and circumstances. Responsive to You When a problem arises or you have questions, you can count on SGR staff to be available, to be prepared, and to respond promptly. Listening to Your Unique Needs SGR is more interested in listening than in talking. Some firms depend on their tried and true stable of reliable candidates. These firms do not really need to listen to the client because the search will result in the same list of finalists, no matter what type of information they receive from the client. SGR devotes tremendous energy to actively listening to you and helping you define and articulate your needs. SGR does not just go through the motions and then provide you with a list of qualified names from a stable of regulars. SGR works hard to conduct a comprehensive search that is unique to you. SGR’s efforts will be driven by your needs, not by what is convenient for us. No Surprises One of the worst things that can happen for you is to get surprised with undisclosed information about a finalist, especially if the surprise comes in the form of a newspaper article that you find out about from your critics. A Google search of the firms you are considering will reveal the ones who have a track record of sloppy work that results in embarrassing surprises for their clients. SGR does thorough background work on candidates to minimize the chance for surprises and has never had one single client embarrassed by surprises about one of our candidates. Additionally, SGR places very high value on continuous and effective communication with our clients. High Quality Briefing Books and Other Documents SGR is committed to producing professional documents that are easy for the client to read and interpret. SGR will produce professional and thorough briefing books for each of the meetings with the Search Committee. In addition, SGR will produce a high quality electronic (pdf) position profile brochure for distribution to prospective candidates. A sample brochure is included behind TAB-8 in the Appendices section of this document.

Page 11: Agenda Packet Part III

Comprehensive Background Investigation Reports SGR provides the most comprehensive background investigations in the industry, and we are the only search firm to use a licensed private investigation firm for these services. We have partnered with First Check, a licensed private investigations company, to perform our employment screening. A sample Background Screening Report is included behind TAB-10 in the Appendices section of this document.

Recorded Online Interviews with Candidates

SGR offers the option of recording short videos of candidates answering three to five questions. These videos are then mailed to the search committee on a flash drive to review prior to the next briefing. This allows the search committee to see candidates in an interview situation prior to the finalist stage of the search process and without having to pay for travel expenses.

Comprehensive Media Reports At the client’s request, SGR will produce a comprehensive Media Report on one or more candidates. Each Media Report is compiled from information gathered using our proprietary online search process. This process is far superior to the one dimensional efforts of our competitors who rely on automated media checks necessary for them to maintain their mass production searches. The report length may be as long as 350 pages per candidate and may include news articles, links to video interviews, blog posts by residents, etc. No other firm provides as comprehensive of media reports as SGR. Psychometric Assessments SGR uses state-of-the-art psychometric assessments of candidates to ensure a detailed understanding of how candidates will lead and manage an organization. The psychometric analyses also provide valuable information regarding candidates’ strengths and weaknesses. Equal Opportunity Commitment SGR strongly believes in equal opportunity. SGR does not discriminate and is careful to follow both the letter and the spirit of laws regarding equal employment opportunities and non-discrimination. More importantly, however, SGR believes that equal opportunity is an ethical issue. SGR quite simply will not enter into an engagement with an entity or organization that directs, or expects, that bias should, or will be, demonstrated on any basis other than those factors that have a bearing on the ability of the candidate to do the job. You can anticipate that SGR will make a serious and sincere effort to include qualified women and minority candidates in the finalist pool. Although SGR obviously cannot, and would not, guarantee the makeup of the finalist group, SGR does have relationships and contacts nationwide to encourage the meaningful participation of women and minority candidates. SGR has a strong history and track record of bringing outstanding female and minority candidates into client search processes.

Superior Experience and Track Record SGR has an unblemished reputation for excellence among both candidates and clients. Many of our clients have used our services for multiple key positions, reflecting the high quality of our work and the long-term nature of our relationships. For example, when we conducted the Amarillo City Manager search, the local newspaper editorialized that our search process had “approached perfection” and praised the elected officials for conducting such a rigorous process. In well over a decade of conducting executive searches, we have only one single city manager placement who did not work out. In addition, most of our placements are still in the same position many years later due to the extensive work we do ensuring that the placement is an excellent match from the outset. Our client list can be found behind TAB-5 in the Appendices section of this document. Practicing the Golden Rule As a result of our years of experience in local government, SGR understands what you are experiencing, how as executive search consultants we can make your life easier, and what will frustrate you. In short, SGR believes in the Golden Rule as a matter of philosophy, but SGR is able to practice the Golden Rule as a matter of experience. Cost For a variety of reasons that are detailed in this proposal, SGR will provide the most cost-effective executive search for your city. Some firms low ball their price, and make up for it by reducing the amount of time they commit, or charging extra for additional time required. SGR give you a fixed price and then is with you until the end regardless of how many hours are required. Five Way Guarantee SGR provides the strongest guarantee in the industry. 1) Our price is our price. You will never be charged an additional professional fee because we need to come to another meeting or spend extra time. 2) You always have 24/7 cell and home contact access to both the recruiter and the company CEO. 3) If you do not find the right candidate, we will start the process over from scratch at no additional cost to you. 4) If we place a candidate who stays less than two years, we will conduct the search again at no cost. And 5) if we place a candidate with you, we will not solicit them for another job for at least five years.

Three Dimensions of Executive Recruitment Experience The great misunderstanding about executive recruitment is that it is about finding a pool of qualified candidates. As a result, search firms brag about the large number of qualified candidates they find. The truth is that finding qualified candidates is not very difficult, and quite honestly, should not occupy the bulk of a recruiter’s time. The real work of executive recruitment should be in determining which individuals out of a large pool of easily-identified, qualified candidates are actually an excellent match for the culture, philosophy, leadership environment, challenges, and opportunities that are unique to

Page 13: Agenda Packet Part III

your city. Even within the same organization, leadership needs differ depending upon the community life cycle stage. There are three dimensions of the executive recruitment experience that will determine whether you get “adequate” or “exceptional” results. Understanding Roles and Responsibilities The first dimension of experience ensures an understanding of the specific roles and responsibilities of the position that is being filled. There are both formal and informal structures within every organization, and all too often strong candidates fail as new leaders because, “It wasn’t what I expected.” SGR addresses this dimension of experience in two ways. First, SGR places heavy emphasis upon knowing and understanding the organization better than they know themselves. Our searches are front-loaded to ensure we devote adequate time to an intimate understanding of both the formal and informal structures and expectations of the position to ensure we find the right “fit.” Second, SGR is the only major search firm with such depth of experience in actually managing organizations of comparable complexity and size. As a result, we are uniquely capable and prepared to ask the right questions to develop an intimate understanding of the formal and informal roles and responsibilities of this position. Understanding Organizational Culture and Environment The second dimension of experience ensures an understanding of organizational culture and environment. SGR devotes tremendous energy to understanding your unique culture and environment and goals to ensure a great “fit” from values, philosophy, and management style perspectives. The recruiter must invest the time and energy on the front end to intimately understand the environment, culture, challenges, and opportunities of the organization. We ensure we have that understanding before we ever place ads or identify candidates. Successful Candidate Recruitment The first two dimensions of experience are inwardly focused on the organization and form the foundation for a successful executive search. This third dimension is focused outside of the organization and is equally important, but tends to be the only one of the three dimensions of experience most search firms address. This explains why so many searches yield an initial list of impressive candidates but struggle to come to an enthusiastic conclusion. SGR takes pride in not being a mass production search firm like our competitors. By conducting fewer executive searches each year, SGR can deliver a very high quality “match” when a selection is made. SGR does not believe our role is to simply provide the client with a large number of qualified candidates…you can do that on your own. SGR’s role is to find the person who is the very best possible match for you. This can only be accomplished with SGR’s high degree of personal attention, which is not possible in a high volume, mass production environment.

Project Methodology and Work Plan Our clients come to SGR for the personalized touch and outstanding results that they cannot get from the typical mass production search firms. This proposal outlines our methodology and key components of the work plan for recruiting this position for you.

Overview SGR provides a comprehensive scope of executive search services, and each executive search service contract is tailored to meet the client’s specific needs. However, a full service executive search typically entails the following:

Step One: Organizational Inquiry and Analysis Outline Project Plan and Timeline Individual Interviews with Search Committee and Key Personnel Development of Position Profile and Production of High Quality Brochure Search Committee Briefing One

Step Two: Advertising and Recruitment Ad Placement Email Distribution of Position Profile Phone Contacts Ongoing Communication with Prospective Candidates

Step Three: Initial Screening and Review Management of Resumes Technical Scoring of Resumes Search Committee Briefing Two / Selection of Quarterfinalist Candidates Step Four: Evaluation of Quarterfinalist Candidates Personal Interaction with Quarterfinalist Candidates Quarterfinalist Narrative Questionnaires Search Committee Briefing Three / Selection of Semifinalist Candidates

Step Five: Evaluation of Semifinalist Candidates Personal Interaction with Semifinalist Candidates Recorded Online Interviews

Search Committee Briefing Four / Selection of Finalist Candidates

Step Six: Evaluation of Finalist Candidates and Interviews Comprehensive Media Reports Psychometric Assessments

Comprehensive Background Screening Report

Step Seven: Closing the Deal Determine the Terms of an Offer

Negotiate Terms and Conditions of Employment Announcement/Press Release Transition Strategy

Step 1: Organizational Inquiry and Analysis In the Organizational Inquiry and Analysis Stage, SGR devotes tremendous energy to understanding your unique culture, environment, and goals to ensure you get the right match for your particular needs. Outline Project Plan and Timeline SGR will meet with the client at the outset of the project to finalize the search plans and timeline. At this time, SGR will also request that the client provide additional information about the organization and the position. Information requested will include general information or available resources about the community, school district, economic vitality, political leadership, organization, strategic plan, governing body goals and objectives, budget information, major projects, job description, salary range, benefits package, etc. Individual Interviews with Search Committee and Key Personnel Fully understanding your needs is the most critical part of conducting a successful executive search. SGR conducts individual interviews with the Search Committee, key staff, and/or direct reports to find out more about the position, special considerations, and the political environment. These interviews last approximately one hour each and identify individual issues that may affect the dynamics of the search, as well as develop a composite understanding of the client’s preferences. This process helps with organizational buy-in and will assist us in developing the profile as we look for any significant staff issues or major disconnects that may not otherwise be apparent. Development of Position Profile and Professional Production of High Quality Brochure Following the individual interviews and internal analysis, SGR will develop a draft position profile that is reviewed and revised in partnership with you until everyone agrees it accurately reflects the sought-after leadership and management characteristics. SGR will create a marketing piece for the position in the form of a high quality electronic (pdf) brochure. A sample brochure is located behind TAB-8 in the Appendices section of this document. Search Committee Briefing One The first briefing with the Search Committee is designed to report on themes or trends identified in the individual staff interviews and in particular to determine if there are any disconnects in perceptions or expectations regarding the roles and responsibilities

Page 17: Agenda Packet Part III

11

of the position. This meeting includes utilization of two different proprietary instruments designed to assist the Search Committee in defining and articulating the desired attributes of the successful candidate. SGR’s goal is to zero in on the specific attributes you want and need, both tangible and intangible. SGR will evaluate the responsibilities, organizational and cultural demands, technical background, personality, and potential required. SGR will also develop a clear understanding of salary range, benefits, and other relevant employment expectations. Of particular importance is to identify any “litmus tests” that are absolute prerequisites to you before starting the recruitment.

Step 2: Advertising and Recruitment The Advertising and Recruitment stage includes distribution of the position profile, advertising the position, contacting prospective candidates, responding to inquiries about the position, and communicating with prospective candidates. Ad Placement The Project Manager and the client work together to determine the best way to advertise and recruit for the position. Ads are typically placed in various state and national publications, targeting the most effective venues for reaching qualified candidates for that particular position. Email Distribution of Position Profile SGR’s preferred strategy is to rely on electronic distribution of the position profile brochure. SGR will typically send 300-500 one-at-a-time personal emails to key opinion leaders and potential prospects across the country. By utilizing an email distribution strategy, these brochures tend to “get legs” of their own, reaching 4-5 times the number personally sent out and resulting in a very high penetration rate at minimal cost. Phone Contacts SGR may have the largest private database of local government officials in the nation, with several thousand contacts on file. Ron Holifield and Alan Taylor will personally “work the phones” with approximately 100 key opinion leaders in the local government profession from around the nation. Some of these calls are for the purpose of soliciting high potential candidates, while other calls are to encourage key opinion leaders who know their states/regions to share information on high potential prospects in their professional circles. Ongoing Communication with Prospective Candidates SGR communicates with all prospective candidates on a frequent and ongoing basis to ensure they stay enthusiastic about the opportunity. Outstanding prospects often will not submit a resume until they have done considerable homework on the available position. A significant number of inquiries will be made, and it is essential that the executive search firm be prepared to answer those questions with fast, accurate, and

Page 18: Agenda Packet Part III

12

complete information, and in a warm and personal manner. This is one of the first places a prospective candidate will develop an impression about organization, and it is an area in which SGR excels. These interactions will encompass email, phone, and face-to-face correspondence. Ongoing communication with candidates typically consists of up to three personal phone calls per candidate, 4-6 email exchanges, a weekly distribution of relevant news articles, and 4-6 formal updates on the process by the time the conclusion is reached. The content of these communications is often responding to routine questions from the candidates or asking the candidates questions about items that may show up in the media about them or issues we pick up in the grapevine about them. In addition, SGR subscribes to clipping services and provides regular news updates to all candidates on current issues related to your community so that the candidates are developing a deeper understanding of your circumstances and needs even as they go through the recruitment phase. One of the reasons SGR consistently delivers a far superior candidate pool than any of our competitors for similar positions is the extensive communication we provide to our candidates during a search process.

Step 3: Initial Screening and Review This stage of the executive search involves managing the flow of resumes, screening and evaluating resumes, and ongoing personal interaction with prospective candidates. Once the bulk of resumes have been received, SGR will meet with the client to present a comprehensive progress report. Management of Resumes Handling the flow of resumes is an ongoing and significant process. On the front end, it involves tracking resumes and promptly acknowledging their receipt. It also involves timely and personal responses to any questions or inquiries. SGR uses a triage process to identify high probability, medium probability, and low probability candidates. At this stage in the search, the triage process is focused on qualifications and known issues with individual candidates. This sifting process assesses how well candidates’ applications fulfill the recruitment criteria outlined in the position profile. Technical Scoring of Resumes In contrast with the initial triage process described above, which focuses on subjective assessment of the resumes and how the candidates present themselves, this step involves very detailed analysis and scoring of the resumes of the high and medium probability candidates in comparison to the recruitment criteria outlined in the position profile.

Page 19: Agenda Packet Part III

Search Committee Briefing Two / Selection of Quarterfinalist Candidates At this briefing, SGR will provide a comprehensive progress report and will facilitate the selection of about 20 quarterfinalists. The presentation will include summary information on the process so far, the candidate pool overall, and any trends or issues that have arisen, as well as a briefing on each candidate and their credentials. No other firm offers this level of reporting detail and transparency.

Step 4: Evaluation of Quarterfinalist Candidates Reviewing resumes is an important and valuable step in the executive search process. However, the simple fact is that resumes can be misleading. They tell you nothing about the individual’s personal qualities or his/her ability to get along with other people. Resumes can also exaggerate or inflate accomplishments or experience. SGR’s responsibility is to go deeper than the resume to ensure that those candidates who continue in the process are truly outstanding. Personal Interaction with Quarterfinalist Candidates SGR’s goal is to have a clear understanding of the person behind the resume and what makes him/her an outstanding success for you. The evaluation of quarterfinalist candidates includes follow-up by phone when appropriate to ask any questions about underlying issues, as well as preliminary background checks as needed. Based upon the number of candidates still in contention at this stage, phone interviews, and potentially even personal interviews, may be conducted by SGR.

Quarterfinalist Narrative Questionnaires SGR will ask quarterfinalist candidates to complete a comprehensive written exercise designed to provide greater insight into candidate thought processes and communication styles. SGR’s written instrument is custom-designed around the priorities identified by the Search Committee and usually includes about 20 questions focusing on 5-6 key areas of particular interest to the client. This written instrument will be included with resumes in the briefing books prepared for each member of the Search Committee.

Search Committee Briefing Three / Selection of Semifinalist Candidates At this briefing, SGR will provide a comprehensive progress report and will facilitate the selection of about 12 semifinalists.

Step 5: Evaluation of Semifinalist Candidates Personal Interaction with Semifinalist Candidates SGR will continue personal interaction with each of the semifinalist candidates, going deeper on particular issues that have been identified which warrant greater insight and understanding.

Page 20: Agenda Packet Part III

Recorded Online Interviews

SGR offers the option of recording short online videos of candidates answering three to five questions. We then save the interviews to flash drives, one flash drive for each search committee member. This provides a very insightful, efficient and cost effective way to gain additional insights to utilize in selecting finalists you want to come in for live interviews.

Search Committee Briefing Four / Selection of Finalist Candidates At this briefing, SGR will provide each member of the Search Committee with a briefing book, copies of the online interviews, present a progress report on the semifinalist candidates, and facilitate narrowing the list to 4-6 finalists who will be invited to come in for a live interview.

Step 6: Evaluation of Finalist Candidates Once the finalists have been selected, SGR will coordinate with you to schedule interviews. Comprehensive Media Reports The Media Reports are compiled by utilizing our proprietary media search process including variations of the candidates’ names and states/cities in which they have lived or worked, including searches of local papers where the candidates have lived or worked. The Media Reports can range from 20-300 pages per candidate and may include news articles, links to video interviews, blog posts by residents, etc. The Media Reports for the candidates are put into an easy-to-read format and recorded onto disc’s for the Search Committee. The candidate’s name is highlighted each time it appears. These media reports have proven helpful to Search Committees by uncovering issues that were not previously disclosed by prospective candidates and that would not have been discovered through a quick Internet search. The Media Reports also give the Search Committee an overview of the type and extent of press coverage that a candidate has experienced over the course of his/her career. Psychometric Assessments It is critical for you to know as much as you can about your new executive before hiring him/her. Historically, employers have depended upon resumes, references, and interviews as sources of information for making hiring decisions. In practice, these sources have proved inadequate for consistently selecting successful employees. The use of assessments has become essential for employers who want to place the right people in the right positions. SGR uses DiSC profile assessment tools, which are among the most validated and reliable personal assessment tools available.

Page 21: Agenda Packet Part III

15

SGR will ask semifinalists to complete two DiSC profile assessments. The DiSC Dimensions of Behavior explore behavioral issues across four primary dimensions: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. This allows deeper understanding about individual behavioral characteristics than is possible in a traditional interview. The DiSC Behavioral Profile, combined with the DiSC Management Profile, provides a meaningful psychometric analysis of the semifinalists. The personal behavioral profile examines basic personality attributes using the DiSC typology. The feedback covers a broad range of behavioral characteristics, including behavioral strengths and weaknesses, motivating and de-motivating factors, and management and selling styles. The DiSC Management Profile analyzes and reports comprehensively on the candidate’s preferences in five vital areas: management style, directing and delegating, motivation, development of others, and working with his/her own manager. The psychometric assessment tools provide additional information about candidates to assist in determining which qualified candidate is the best match for your organization. Samples of the two assessment reports are included in the Appendices section of this document behind TAB-9. Assessment Center Process SGR provides an assessment center process, a two week time period during which candidates may visit the city and talk to key employees and/or council members in order to develop a first year plan. The finalist candidates present their first year plans to the search committee during the onsite interview. This process provides a more in-depth analysis of the way the finalist candidates approach problem solving and will allow the search committee to have a sense of what you can expect of the candidate during his/her first year on the job. Conduct Interviews SGR will schedule interviews at a date/time convenient to the client. This process can be as simple, or as complex, as the client desires. SGR will help you determine the specifics you need. SGR will prepare sample questions for each candidate and will participate throughout the process to make it smooth and efficient. Deliberations At this meeting, SGR will facilitate a discussion about the finalist interviews and assist the Search Committee in making a decision on whether to bring back one or more candidates for a second interview. Reference Checks Our reference checks are the most comprehensive in the industry. We place very little confidence on the references provided by the candidates since those can be expected to be biased. Instead, we will typically talk to as many as 20 professional contacts for a given candidate including elected officials, direct supervisors, direct reports, internal

Page 22: Agenda Packet Part III

16

organizational peers, professional peers in other organizations, civic leaders, and media representatives. We always seek out the candidate’s greatest critics and greatest fans to ensure a complete, yet balanced, perspective and overview of each candidate. Comprehensive Background Investigation Report Through SGR’s partnership with First Check, a licensed private investigations company, we are able to provide our clients with comprehensive background screening reports that include detailed information such as:

Social Security number trace

Address history

Driving history/motor vehicle records

Credit report

Federal criminal search

National criminal search

Nationwide wants and warrants

Global homeland security search

Sex offender registry search

State criminal search (for current and previous states of residence)

County criminal search (for every county in which candidate has lived or worked)

County civil search (for every county in which the candidate has lived or worked)

A sample Background Screening Report is available behind TAB-10 in the Appendices section of this document.

Step 7: Closing the Deal Once the final candidate has been selected, SGR can provide additional assistance to the client in the following areas. Determine the Terms of an Offer Upon request, SGR will provide comparative data for selected organizations, appropriate employment agreement language, and other similar information to assist you in determining an appropriate offer to extend to your candidate of choice. Negotiate Terms and Conditions of Employment SGR will assist to whatever degree you deem appropriate in conducting negotiations with the chosen candidate. SGR determine and define any special needs or concerns of the chosen candidate, including anything that could be a complicating factor. SGR is experienced and prepared to help craft win-win-solutions to negotiation “log-jams.”

Page 23: Agenda Packet Part III

17

Announcement/Press Release Until you have “sealed the deal,” you need to be cautious in order to avoid the embarrassment of a premature announcement that does not work out. You also want to try and notify all senior staff and unsuccessful candidates before they read about it in the newspaper. SGR will assist with this coordination and with drafting any announcements or press releases. Transition Strategy There are a variety of transition issues when hiring a new executive. SGR will brief the client on transition issues that need to be addressed and will provide a recommendation on what actions to take. Together, we will create a transition strategy that builds the foundation for a successful long-term relationship.

Unsolicited Feedback Regarding SGR’s Performance Following are a few unsolicited quotes from emails we have received. This unsolicited feedback demonstrates that our practice of using the Golden Rule to determine how we treat everyone leaves no doubt in the minds of both clients and candidates that we are truly superior to the competition. We have not included names to avoid the suggestion of an endorsement, which is prohibited under the ICMA Code of Ethics.

“Thank you for the follow up. I’m very impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of your organization. It is a pleasure working with someone that treats the applicants with respect.” “Thank you for your e-mails updating me on status as they are a nice change of pace from the usual practices of headhunters.”

“I am not exaggerating in the least when I say that my experience with virtually every single government executive search firm has been abysmal; with the exception of you. I know that your attention to applicants most likely reflects your attention to the client as well and I predict you will realize much success based on that.”

“Thank you so much for you continued updates and your professionalism. It is truly refreshing.”

“I must say that I am really disappointed I was not selected; however, working with you has been a great experience. I have been through processes with a couple of other recruiters over the past couple of years and they do not hold a candle to you and the service you provide to your clients and to the candidates.”

“Thank you for the continual attentiveness to ensuring my questions, concerns, and simple curiosities of the overall process and timelines were completely satisfied.”

“I want to thank you for all your good work- sourcing the candidates, screening/interviewing them and providing insight. In fact I admire how you comprehend the inner nature of things.

Page 51: Agenda Packet Part III

You’ve provided valuable, articulate counsel during the whole process. I’ve enjoyed working with you.”

“Thanks for calling me- how refreshing!”

“Thank you very much for your personal touch on this. You go a step beyond what other consultants typically provide, and I appreciate it. I'll look forward to hearing from you again.”

“First let me start by saying Thank You for running such a superb executive search for the City of Keller. Your services helped attract such high-qualified candidates for the position I can only imagine what the City Council would have done without your services. In the end, the City Council had some tough choices.”

“From what I have experienced going through other search processes, the one you are administering has been the most organized, responsive, and coordinated processes that I have participated in. This speaks volumes for you and your commitment to administering a quality job search process.” “Don’t hesitate to use me as a reference... I would love to tell any other City Council what a great job you did for us.” “SGR is the only search firm I am willing to apply for jobs through. When I went through a recent search with “”the big name” firm they didn’t communicate with me, and treated me with disrespect. By contrast, even though I didn’t get the job, SGR was awesome to work with.” “It was such a pleasure working with SGR. We had a lot of anxiety going in and you made it all so easy and produced final results we are all very proud of.” “Since I began looking at City Manager positions, I have been involved in five other selection processes (two were by SGR the other three were by different companies). I would like tell you from the applicant standpoint that your process is far better than any other process I have encountered. You kept me informed during the entire process and allowed me to get very comfortable with the community and Council as we entered the final steps. I

Page 52: Agenda Packet Part III

have not had that opportunity in any other process. Also your guidance has been outstanding. You did a great job of representing and protecting the interest of the City while providing me with exceptional personal insight. I just wanted to thank you again for all your help.”

Following are a few media quotes regarding our searches from local newspapers. No other firm has the track record of positive news coverage that SGR has, nor the record for producing glowing news coverage about the client as a result of the outstanding search results. We encourage you to ask each of the firms you are considering to provide you with a list and copies of all print and broadcast coverage of any search they have done in the last five years that has included any criticism or negative comments regarding their firm. SGR is the only firm who has received nothing but glowing media coverage for our searches and our clients. “Perfection almost always is impossible to achieve and there can be no perfect method of selecting a chief executive for a city such as Amarillo. Still, the method being employed by the City Commission in its search for a new city manager has taken many positive steps toward that elusive goal of perfection.” Manager Crop Goes on Display – editorial in Amarillo Globe News, November 2010 “The process has worked well so far. The city hired a Fort Worth-area consultant to lead the search. Mayor Debra McCartt has hailed the finalist field, which she said was selected after a "rigorous review and selection process." The current commission is showing a refreshing brand of resolve and attention to detail that this selection process deserves. Whoever emerges as the commission's choice should be strengthened by a hoped-for rigorous process that he should be asked to endure. So, too, would the city.” City Panel Does Right in Search – Amarillo Globe News editorial, November, 2010. “a national search produced a top-tier slate of finalists, gleaned from a long list of applicants”.... “As Mayor Debra McCartt said...the consulting firm...did its "due diligence" in collecting a long list of qualified applicants...The city's selection process was strengthened by the test it put all the candidates through. It also strengthened the hand of the man who got the job. Atkinson himself noted right after being appointed that the process was as "rigorous" as anything he's experienced since college...Commissioner Jim Simms complimented the city for attracting a large field of "quality candidates," adding that "this must be the Thanksgiving season...Commissioner Brian Eades spoke of the "learning tool" the selection process produced and said the city is going to embark on a new era of better "customer service" for Amarillo's residents...This process worked well for the city - as will the city's new chief executive officer. Well done.” Process Gives Atkinson Strength - Amarillo Globe News editorial, November, 2010.

"We are both pleased and surprised at how strong the field of contenders is... We have been very deliberate in conducting a thorough national search to find the very best person... and based on how strong the field is, the entire City Commission is very enthusiastic...” Mayor Jimmy McKay, Breckenridge American Newspaper, Dec., 2010. “SGR helps local governments work better by helping them work together.” Paving The Road for New Company Officers – story in Texas Fire Chief Magazine, Winter, 2010 that focused on SGR’s unique role in helping local governments develop their next generation of leaders.

“At the senior executive level you need to know your client base and your market and deliver a higher level of understanding than an automated system allows.” The Recruiter Versus the Machine – quoting Ron Holifield in a January, 2011 story on SGR for The Ladders featuring how SGR’s personal touch in executive search has made SGR a stand out among the big name public sector search firms who take a mass production approach.

“Customer service is incredibly important. We have almost 200 customers and every one of them has my cell phone number. It builds loyalty among customers.” Ten Ways to Grow Your Business Despite the Economy - quoting Ron Holifield in a November 2010 story in American Express Open Forum featuring SGR because of our reputation for exceptional level of customer service that is unmatched by other search firms. “Suddenly small businesses are operating like mini multinationals.” Freelance Nation – a September 2010 story in Entrepreneur Magazine featuring SGR as one of the stand out small businesses who were successfully competing against the big name companies by focusing on superior customer service, and building a networked team of national caliber talent.

City of Rockwall, TexasCITY MANAGER POSITION PROFILE

The CommunityThe City of Rockwall is located on the eastern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex, one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States. Located 20 miles east from downtown Dallas and southeast of the North Dallas business areas, Rockwall offers an attractive residential community and commuter suburb in close proximity to Dallas employment, easily accessible via Interstate 30, State Highway 66, and the recently completed eastern extension to the President George Bush Turnpike. The City of Rockwall is the largest city in Rockwall County and has a current population of approximately 38,500 residents. Rockwall County is the fastest growing county in Texas and the fifth fastest growing county in the United States.

In the 1850’s, while digging a well, early settlers discovered an underground stone wall which appeared to be constructed by prehistoric man (later determined a natural phenomenon); hence, the name “Rockwall” became the identity for the settlement. Rockwall County was established in 1873 and Rockwall was incorporated in 1874. The City of Rockwall has seen progressive growth over the last century, which has shifted this small country town into a self-sustaining community. Rockwall is a blend of historic and modern structures and still maintains the town square surrounding the historic courthouse. The City of Rockwall was honored with the First Lady’s Texas Treasures Award in 2009, which recognizes communities that show a dedication to historic preservation efforts. Rockwall has also been recognized as a national Main Street community.

The real beauty of Rockwall is its hometown feel, beautiful scenery, and all of the advantages of a major city. One of only a handful of lakeside communities in the DFW Metroplex, Rockwall boasts 72 miles of shoreline for recreational, wildlife, and scenic activities. Named one of the “Best Towns for Families” by Family Circle Magazine in 2009, maintaining a high quality of life is one of the City Council’s Key Focus areas. In the 2011 Citizen Survey, Rockwall residents noted a 97% quality of life satisfaction rating, in which the low density, high building standards, low crime rate, and the abundant park system could all be contributing factors.

In August 2011, CNN/Money Magazine named Rockwall County as “#1 County for Job Creation” in America with a 98% job growth from 2000-2010. A public/private partnership created The Harbor, a premier lakeside destination, which mixes a resort/conference center, specialty retail stores, restaurants, a movie theatre, and a public park with a boardwalk and boat access.

Page 56: Agenda Packet Part III

The recently completed Presbyterian Hospital complex and medical corridor add state of the art medical facilities to the vibrant community. Nestled on 365 acres, Rockwall Technology Park provides a rare advantage to technology companies and expansion facilities for existing operations. The Technology Park offers the benefits of shovel-ready sites, fast-track permitting, and economic assistance.

The City of Rockwall was a Class IV Gold Medal winner by the Texas Recreation and Park Society in 2009, which honors excellence in recreation and parks management. In addition to the numerous parks and trails system, recreational facilities include three spray grounds, two public swimming pools, and a senior center. Community events are important to the Rockwall culture with Founder’s Day held on the historic square each spring, a “Concert by the Lake” series at the Harbor Amphitheater in the spring and summer, and many other events throughout the year. For over 30 years, Rockwall has also been home to the Aspasians Art Fair, held twice a year with profits going to scholarships for high school seniors.

The Rockwall Independent School District (RISD) was founded in 1841 and has 14,200 students on 18 campuses with a $100 million budget. RISD continues to excel in academics with an average of a 1073 on SAT for college readiness and rated exemplary or recognized in 24 of 25 accountability measures for the overall district. There are also five strong private schools that service the City of Rockwall.

The City of Rockwall has received the Government Finance Officers Association’s Certificate for Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the past 21 years.

The median per capita income is $36,050 and the median per capita family income is $87,542.

City OrganizationThe City of Rockwall is a home rule city with a Council-Manager form of government. The Rockwall City Council is made up of seven (7) council members. Each council member is elected at-large. Members of Council are elected to two-year terms, expiring on staggered years.

The City Council appoints a professional City Manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of all city departments. Rockwall is a full-service city with direct reports to the City Manager’s office including Finance, Administrative Services (Human Resources and Telecommunications), City Secretary’s office, Planning, Parks and Recreation (Streets, Animal Services), Building Inspections/Code Enforcement, Public Works/Engineering, Internal Operations, and the Fire Department, which encompasses paid, part-time, and a volunteer staff.

The Rockwall Economic Development Corporation operates as a separate entity with the Board/President reporting directly to the City Council. The City operates a 4A Sales Tax Corporation and a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone for the Harbor/PD 32 area.

The City of Rockwall has 255 employees and an annual operating budget of $50,813,650.

Rockwall City Manager Position Profile

Issues and ChallengesRecent city projects include updating the Comprehensive Plan, expanding the current Police Station, relocating the Municipal Courts to a new facility, and installing an emergency communication radio system upgrade. Additionally, a Request for Proposals has been released by the City and the Rockwall Municipal Airport to prepare an Airport Development Plan, which will include analysis of existing and future conditions and will propose facility development to meet existing and future demands.

Like many North Texas communities, Rockwall must address long-term solutions for water supply given ongoing drought conditions and increased demands on the limited water resources.

With the uniqueness of the historical nature of Rockwall along with the outward development growth, Rockwall is entering into a period where long-term infrastructure planning will be necessary as well as a focus on redevelopment and revitalization.

As the county seat for Rockwall County and the heart of the Rockwall Independent School District, the City needs to continue to foster a strong relationship with both entities as well as other community organizations.

Ideal CandidateEffective communication skills are a top priority. This is inclusive of transparent and regular communication with the City Council, media, and the Rockwall citizens. The successful candidate should also be able to listen, understand, and relate city policy and technical issues between city staff, elected officials, the media, and the citizens.

A deep commitment to customer service is expected. The successful manager will ensure follow-through on citizen and City Council issues as well as focus on a customer service vision for the future.

Strong financial skills are required. The successful candidate will demonstrate skills to prioritize a budget based on service needs, ability to analyze policy options in a fiscal manner, ability to research additional revenue sources, and the ability to focus on long-term financial and infrastructure decisions.

A proven track record for building a cohesive team among city staff and creating an environment that empowers all employees to utilize their expertise is desired. The successful candidate should be able to recruit and retain high performance employees in all areas of city operations.

Experience with process improvement and increasing efficiency in service delivery is a plus. The successful candidate will embrace technology and desire continuing education on city services.

The City Manager should be engaging, honest, fair, and transparent. He or she will also have the ability to handle conflict and not be afraid to take calculated risks. The City Manager will be able to develop a strong, open atmosphere between the manager and the City Council.

Page 58: Agenda Packet Part III

Experience & EducationThe successful candidate should have a Bachelor degree in public administration, business administration, or a related field with a minimum of ten years of progressively responsible experience in municipal operations. A Master degree in public administration or business administration is preferred. The ideal candidate for this position will have previous city manager experience, but experience as an assistant city manager or department head in a comparable or larger city will be considered.

The successful candidate will be fiscally conservative with a thorough understanding of city operations. The successful candidate will have experience with economic development, specifically in redevelopment; analyzing service options and opportunities; long-term visioning; and building a strong team of senior staff members. The candidate should have a proven track record of managing a high level of citizen engagement, community building, and a clear and consistent communication style.

Compensation & BenefitsThe City of Rockwall offers a competitive starting salary, depending on qualifications and experience. The City participates in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) at the seven percent employee deposit rate with a municipal matching ratio of 2-1. A full range of leave and insurance benefits is also provided.
