The Community
The skies don't get any
bigger than this! From the
Big Horn Mountains to
some of America's most prized grass-
lands, Northeast Wyoming's landscape is
alive. The vigorous city of Gillette lies in
the heart of the nation's richest
coalfields, between two of the West's
most enchanting and historic mountain
ranges, on the path to the nation's
greatest parks and monuments. The City
invites you to visit their website at
www.ci.gillette.wy.us.
The railroad gave birth to G'¡lette more
than 11O years ago, even before Wyo-
ming was a state, opening new markets
to ranchers in the rich Powder River
Basin. But coal and oil booms in the
1970's transformed Gillette into the
"Energy Capital of the Nation." From it,
a youthful, industrious community of
22,000 people has emerged.
Coal production continues to playa
Gillette's and the County's local
economy. Ninety-four percent of coal
production in Wyoming originates with
Campbell County mines, and nationally,
approximately 1/3 of the nation's coal is
produced in Wyoming. Now, a new
boom is underway. Coal bed methane
gas, a clean-burning fuel produced in
rich coal seams, heralds a new era of
minerai development and progress.
Residents of Gillette are actively involved
in their community. Gillette is adorned
with summer flower gardens planted and
tended by community volunteers. The
County's labor force IS well educated
with many having secondary degrees
earned at the local campus of the
Northern Wyoming Community College.
Gillette offers a variety of outdoor fun
including a world-class aquatics center,
water slide, numerous neighborhood and
public parks, tennis courts, extensive
walking and biking trails, two excellent
golf courses, a well-stocked fishing lake,
and outstanding athletic programs.
Within one-half hour of Gillette,
Keyhole State Park provides over
14,000 acres of water sports.
Gillette boasts one of the finest
multi-use facilities in the region.
The CAM-PLEX features a fine
arts theater, convention/exhibit hall, two
multi-purpose pavilions, rodeo grounds,
covered stadium seating, a 21-acre park
and forested picnic area, and several RV
campgrounds.

The Community
Located in the San
Bernardino National Forest
and a convenient drive
from virtually anywhere in Southern
California, Big Bear Lake is nearly
everything to everyone. The serenity of
a calm lake at dawn; a brilliant sunset
from mountain peaks reaching nearly
9,000 feet above sea level, and numer-
ous recreational opportunities make Big
Bear Lake an enticing mountain retreat.
Reflecting the forested mountains that
surround the lake and covering 3,000
surface acres, Big Bear Lake Itself is a
dominant feature in the area The key
factor of the Valley's economy IS the
large number of VIsitors attracted to the
area by its unique forest, lake, skiing,
and other recreation amenities, as well
as its clean alf, temperate summer
climate, and absence of big-city traffic.
The Big Bear Valley includes the City of
Big Bear Lake as well as the unincorpo-
rated communities of Big Bear City,
Fawnskln, Sugarloaf, Baldwin Lake, Lake
Williams, and Erwin Lake. The Valley
reports a population of approximately
17,000. Covering a 6.95 square mile area
along the south shore of Big Bear Lake,
the City accounts for approximately
6,500 full-time residents. Approximately
30% of the homes In the City are owner
occupied. The balance of the homes are
used as vacation getaways, some as
little as once or twice a year. Many of
these homes are used as rentals for
VIsitors of Big Bear Lake.
The Valley offers at least 300 days of clear
skies and sunshine annually, prompting the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory to place a solar
observatory on the north shore of the lake.
Summers in Big Bear Lake are pleasant
with SO-degree highs and 50-degree lows.
Winter brings 120" of snowfall with
daytime highs in the fifties and
nighttime lows in the mid-
teens. Sprrng and fall are the
"transition" seasons, offering
refreshing days and cool
evenings. Precipitation aver-
ages about 20 inches per year.
The Bear Valley Unified School District
provides outstanding educational
services with three elementary schools,
one middle school, one high school, and
one continuation high school. These
schools have received the California
Distinguished Schools Award numerous
times. The University of California at
Riverside, California State University at
San Bernardino, University of Redlands,
and several iunior colleges are within
easy drrvlng distance of Big Bear Lake.

community. Current and planned
development Includes larger homes,
upscale lodging establishments, and
high-end commercial properties. This

OUR PUBLIC SECTOR SEARCH TEAM
In January 2001, Wilcox Miller & Nelson chose to expand their services to the public sector
and welcomed Bobbi C. Peckham, one of the West Coast's leading local government
recruiters, to implement this endeavor. With the firm's commitment to provide excellent
service to its clients, a team concept has been developed. Your Search Team will also
include Mr. Phil McKenney, Vice President. Profiles of members of this unparalleled search
team follow.
Bobbi C. Peckham. Vice President Public Sector Search
Bobbi C. Peckham has over 22 years of experience in local government and executive
recruitment. Ms. Peckham began her career in local government in Naperville, Illinois, which
was then the Midwest's fastest growing community. She became familiar with all aspects of
local government through her work in the municipal electric utility as well as support to the
City Manager. Ms. Peckham was then recruited to join the Executive Search practice of
Ralph Andersen & Associates in Sacramento. In 1993, Ms. Peckham played an integral role
in creating a national search practice for DMG-Maximus, where she became Regional
Director overseeing Northern California and a nine-state region.
In January 2001, Ms. Peckham joined Wilcox Miller & Nelson as an opportunity to fulfill her
desire to provide more personalized hands-on service to the public sector. Ms. Peckham
has an outstanding track record of success on local government placements and has
personally conducted hundreds of national searches throughout the Western United States.
She has extensive experience working with City Councils, Executive Boards, and local
government administrators, listening to and understanding their needs in executive level

Phil McKenney. Vice President
Phil McKenney has 30 years' management experience and is very familiar with local
government agencies, having led a county-funded organization and having worked with
numerous city governments and special districts.
Mr. McKenney began his career in the resort and hospitality industry and served as General
Manager for Mattakesett Properties on the island of Martha's Vineyard. He then relocated
to Keystone Resort in Colorado, which is now acknowledged as a premiere all-season
resort with special recognition for its level of guest services. Mr. McKenney later took over
the helm of the Summit County Chamber of Commerce as their Executive Director. This
hybrid-Chamber was the only countywide organization responsible for marketing all of
Summit County, Colorado, home to Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper Mountain resorts.
Through his leadership and collaborative style, and working with the cities within Summit
County, he led the Chamber to being a readily recognized and well-respected organization
within Colorado and the Western United States.
Mr. McKenney was then selected by Placer County, California to lead the merger of the North
lake Tahoe Chamber of Commerce and the North Tahoe Visitors and Convention Bureau into
the North lake Tahoe Resort Association. As Executive Director of this new county
organization, he represented the Tourism industry for all of North lake Tahoe. The Resort
Association is now a proactive, nationally recognized organization whose model of governance
is being replicated in numerous resort communities across the western United States.
Earlier this year, Mr. McKenney joined the firm of Wilcox Miller & Nelson and has since
conducted executive recruitments for the Town Manager, Town of Vail; Human Resources
Director, Jefferson County, Colorado; and Parks & Community Services Director, City of
West Sacramento.
Mr. McKenney has an undergraduate degree in Recreation as well as a Master of Business
Administration. Mr. McKenney's collaborative style, customer service orientation, industry
experience, education, and professionalism add value to the offerings of Wilcox Miller &
Nelson.

THE SEARCH PROCESS
While it is our intent to customize the search and project schedule to fit the City's specific
needs, the search process typically includes the following key actions:
.
Proiect OrQanization - This phase provides for the development of a detailed Candidate
Profile. We will meet individually with the Mayor and City Council, as well as others you
identify, to discuss the issues and challenges facing the organization and community. The
desired background and experience, leadership style and personality traits, skills and
abilities will be discussed. Additionally, this time allows us to become more familiar with
the City of Paris, its organizational culture and community as well as the philosophy that
will move the organization through the 21 st Century. We will also discuss with the Mayor
and City Council expected parameters of the search, the search timeline, and schedule
future meeting dates.
.
Recruitment - Our recruiting efforts will focus on direct and aggressive recruiting of
individuals within the search parameters established during the Project Organization
phase. We believe direct recruiting produces the most qualified candidates. We know
how to identify the "hidden" candidates, including those passive candidates who may be
resistant to considering an employment change. We will use our active network of
contacts as well as an Internet-based proprietary candidate database to look deeper and
find those hard-to-attract candidates. In addition, an attractive brochure will be prepared
to market the community and position to potential candidates. Advertisements will be
placed in industry publications and websites, and our firm will assume responsibility for
presenting your opportunity in an accurate and professional manner. All resumes received
will be promptly acknowledged, and we will personally respond to all inquiries.
.
Preliminarv Interviews/Recommendation - As resumes are received, supplemental
questionnaires will be sent to candidates who appear to meet the candidate profile.
Following the filing deadline and a thorough review of the resumes and questionnaires
received, we will conduct preliminary interviews with those individuals most closely
matching the candidate profile. Preliminary reference checks will be conducted and a
written recommendation of finalists will be personally presented to the Mayor and City
Council. Once the Mayor and City Council have selected finalists for further
consideration, all candidates will be notified of their status.
.
Final Interviews/Selection - During this phase, finalists will be interviewed by the Mayor
and City Council. We will provide both advice and facilitation assistance during the final
interview process. Interview materials, including suggested interview questions, evaluation
and ranking sheets will be provided for the Mayor and City Council's convenience.

Wilcox Miller & Nelson
Qualification - Once the final candidate has been selected, our firm will verify, at your
discretion, professional work experience, educational histories, criminal, civil, credit,
motor vehicle records, and second "tier" references. This comprehensive process
ensures that only the most thoroughly screened candidate is selected. We will also
encourage the Mayor and City Council to consider a site visit to the community of the
selected candidate. In addition, negotiation assistance will be provided.

BASIS FOR PROFESSIONAL FEES
Professional Fee
Wilcox Miller & Nelson's professional services are offered on a retained basis for what is
expected to be a three-month recruitment process. The professional fee for the recruitment of
the City Manager is $17,500.00. One-third of this fee is due as a retainer upon execution of
the agreement. The remainder of the fee will be divided and billed in two separate, monthly
invoices. Full payment of the professional fee is due three months from execution of the
agreement or when a candidate has accepted an offer of employment, whichever comes first.
The proposed project and professional fee includes three meetings with the client; the first to
develop the Candidate Profile, the second to recommend finalists, and the third to facilitate
finalist interviews. Requested additional meetings will be negotiated and billed accordingly.
Should the City choose to cancel or postpone the search at any time after execution of the
agreement, the City will be responsible for payment in the amount of the percentage of the
work complete as it applies to the three-month period.
It is the sincere intent of Wilcox Miller & Nelson to conduct a recruitment process that leads to
the selection of a qualified candidate. If the City chooses to continue outreach efforts past
the three-month period, however, a continuation fee may be negotiated. In the event that the
City employs any referred candidate in any capacity within 365 days of our referral, the City
will be obligated for the full professional fee.
EXDenses
The City of Paris will be responsible for reimbursement of expenses not to exceed $7,500.00.
Expenses will be pre-approved and will be billed back at cost. Expenses include out-of-pocket
costs associated with consultant travel, advertising, printing and binding, postage and delivery,
clerical, background checks, and long-distance telephone charges.
PLACEMENT GUARANTEE
Wilcox Miller & Nelson agrees to guarantee this placement for a period of one year from
date of hire. In the event a candidate recruited and recommended by our firm leaves your
employment or is dismissed for cause during this period, we agree to provide a one-time
replacement at no additional charge, except expenses.

SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Wilcox Miller & Nelson agrees to assign the Search Team of Bobbi Peckham and Phil
McKenney to conduct this search, and they will remain available for consultation with the City,
as required. We further agree to offer formal presentations of resumes and verification of
background (employment, education, certification, credit history, motor vehicle, civil and
criminal records) and references for the final candidate. Wilcox Miller & Nelson agrees that all
direct costs incurred during the course of this assignment and any principal travel expense
necessary to pre-qualify prospective candidates for employment will not exceed the expense
limits established in this proposal, unless negotiated and preapproved by the City.
The City of Paris agrees to make every effort to maintain the confidentiality of candidates
presented for consideration and agrees to designate one staff person (yada yada) to serve as
the primary client contact to maintain an open line of communication. The City agrees to
assume any candidate travel costs as necessary to interview finalists determined to be
qualified by Wilcox Miller & Nelson. In addition, the City of Paris agrees to work cooperatively
with Wilcox Miller & Nelson, thereby ensuring an effective and timely recruitment process.
