COLIN BAENZIGER & ASSOCIATES . We maintain a data base of compensation packages for many Florida cities and counties so we will know what the managers are paid and what is reasonable for the City to offer its next Manager. . Finally, while we move quickly, we do not rush the process. We suggest that the interviews be held on a weekend and the Commission vote to select its next Manager a few days later (in this case, at a special or regular meeting) after it has had time to "sleep on the decision." We also think it is important not to rush into a contract. We suggest that a Commission Member be designated to negotiate the contract with our assistance and the City Attorney; and that the contract be brought back to the Commission after it has had the appropriate amount of time to deliberate. Results: On the preceding page, we have outlined what sets us apart. The proof, however, is in the results we have achieved. Specifically, . Our city/county/municipal CEO searches have always ended in a successful placement. . While every recruitment firm will tell you that the search can be done within 60 to 90 days, we have an unmatched track record for completing the selection process within that timeframe. In fact, we have never missed a project milestone. . Our clients are extremely satisfied with our work. In fact three of them, Cottonwood Heights, Palmetto Bay and Marathon, have gone so far as to pass resolutions thanking us for our extraordinary efforts recruiting their managers. · In those rare situations where one of our managers has left the city where we have placed them, the cities have been so satisfied with our services that, if they use a recruiter, they used us again. · No matter how complicated the search has become and what unforeseen circumstances have arisen, we have never asked a client for additional monies beyond the fee we initially quoted. · We have become recognized as a leader (if not the leader) in Florida municipal recruiting and we are frequently called upon to speak at the conferences of the Florida League of Cities, the Florida City/County Managers' Association and the Florida Public Personnel Association. Summary: Colin Baenziger & Associates is the firm you should select to conduct your City Manager recruitment because it is knowledgeable and effective while also being less costly. We are extremely adept at determining who is a good fit for your City and will find the best person to serve as your next Manager for the long term. Further, we complete our work on time and on budget. -4- IS'~~ ~ R ie, ",L)
