Special City Council Meeting <br />May 24, 2004 <br />Page 10 <br />Paris, Texas. All of that will be condensed into a recruitment brochure that <br />they can publish on their web site. After the City Council has approved that <br />profile, they get to the hard work and that is the direct contact with the <br />candidates. He said they were not passive about this. If it was just a matter of <br />announcing that there is a vacancy and waiting for the candidates to come to <br />the city, there would be no need for a search firm. <br />Mr. Rohre advised that the fee for the Ralph Andersen to represent the City of <br />Paris would be $13,500.00 in fees and a cap of $6,500.00 would be for <br />expenses. These expenses would be for advertising, travel, phone calls and <br />printing. <br />Mr. Rohre said the most recent placement in Texas was the City Manager of <br />Sherman, which was two years ago. They have placed City Managers in <br />Gainesville, Terrell, Longview and Tyler. <br />No action was taken on a resolution authorizing a personal and professional <br />services agreement with a search firm to conduct a personnel search for City <br />Manager candidates. <br />After discussion, it was the consensus of the City Council to set a meeting for <br />Friday, May 28, 2004 at 9:00 A.M. to consider this matter. <br />Interim City Manager Townsend advised that the Waters Group is going to <br />come back with an update on the salary survey that was done several years ago. <br />Councilwoman Wilkerson asked if the city was pleased with what was received <br />from the Waters Group. <br />Gene Anderson, Director of Finance, informed the Council that generally <br />speaking, they were pleased with their presentation. He said that no action <br />was taken at the time because the implementation of the recommendation <br />would have cost the city one-half of a million dollars. The work itself was <br />good. <br />
