<br />City Manager for the City of Paris. <br /> <br />Waters-Oldani will meet with the Project Director, Mayor, City Council, designated City staff <br />members, and others, as appropriate and as directed by the City, to discuss the required <br />background and experiences for the new City Manager. Many of our previous recruitments have <br />involved an open-community approach to profile development, and we have found this to be an <br />excellent way to broaden our perspective on the qualifications needed for the position. <br /> <br />In the development of the profile, Waters-Oldani will also gather organizational charts, budgetary <br />information, operational reports, and other documentation describing the operations and workload <br />of the position, as necessary. Additionally, we will use our knowledge of current developments <br />in the operations of municipal management to further assist the City in the development of the <br />qualifications for this position. Consideration will be given to requirements such as formal <br />education and specific work experiences. We understand the importance of developing truly <br />meaningful position requirements that meet the current needs of the City and that complement the <br />culture, goals and objectives of the City. <br /> <br />Based upon the results of the discussions with the City, community and staff interviews, and our <br />review of other information, Waters-Oldani will develop a customized profile that represents a <br />consensus view of the background, experiences, and other qualifications important for a <br />successful City Manager for the City of Paris. The draft profile will be presented to the Mayor, <br />City Council for review and final approval prior to initiating the solicitation and advertising <br />strategy . <br /> <br />In order to conduct an open recruitment and to encourage applications from a diverse pool of <br />candidates, Waters-Oldani will work with the City to develop a comprehensive advertising <br />strategy to notify potential candidates about the vacancy. Advertisements will be placed in <br />appropriate professional publications, local newspapers of record, and on Internet bulletin boards. <br />Draft ads will be submitted to the City for approval prior to publication. Waters-Oldani has direct <br />access to the Internet through our heavily trafficked Web site at www.watersconsulting.com <br />and targeted e-mail (search@watersconsulting.com). Additionally, we will use these resources to <br />communicate with prospects and candidates as appropriate directly. The aggressive advertising <br />campaign for top talent will include national, regional, in-state and local elements as determined <br />during our initial meetings with the City. We will work to create an appealing brochure in order <br />to submit to candidates in both a printed and electronic format. Additionally, our presence at <br />appropriate local government conferences will be used to further promote the position. <br /> <br /><<J 2007-The Waters Consulting Group, Inc.
