In particular, we will explain which, if any, of the applicants specifically meet the total criteria established by the Mayor and City Councilor whether the final group simply represents the best available talent. We will also provide the Mayor and City Council with our recommendations relative to timing, sequencing, location, setting, format, and conduct of interviews with the finalists. We will provide information about trends in employment, employment contracts and agreements, relocation expenses, perquisites, appropriate role for spouses, receptions, etc. We will arrange schedules for top candidate interviews with the Mayor and City Council and will coordinate the process. 7. Negotiation and Follow-up We will also assist in the negotiation process relative to salary, bendits and other conditions of employment. We feel that we can be especially helpful because we have proposed a fixed fee rather than one based on a percentage of salary. One contingency here is that an agreement may not be able to be arranged. If that is the case, we will work with the Mayor and City Council to select an alternate candidate. We will properly handle any and all media relations. Unless otherwise directed, it is our standard practice to tell all media that we are working on behalf of the Mayor and City Council and that any public statement should come directly from the Mayor and City Council. We will maintain confidentiality of candidate information, to the degree possible, under Texas law. Finally, we will notify by letter all unsuccessful candidates who were not recommended for interview with the Mayor and City Council ofthe final decision reached. We suggest, however, that it is more proper for the Mayor and City Council to directly notify all unsuccessful candidates whom they interviewed of the final result. 10 ~~.._~..,..,-'".._.>
