Monroe County, FL <br /> <br />In March 2004, Colin Baenziger was retained to recommend five candidates for the County <br />Administrator position in Monroe County (essentially the Florida Keys). The County requested <br />a national search and our work involved recruiting and advertising for candidates, conducting <br />background checks, selecting the most qualified, recommending them for interview, coordinating <br />the interview process and assisting in the contract negotiations. High caliber candidates who <br />could afford to live in the Florida Keys were in short supply and finding the right person was <br />difficult but we were successful. The County hired Thomas Willi, then the Town Manager of <br />Davie, FL. Mr. Willi was unique because he was both well qualified and could afford a <br />substantial home in the Keys. Contact Commissioner Murray Nelson who was County Mayor <br />during the recruitment at (305) 394-0098 or County Administrator Tom Willi at (305) 292-4441. <br /> <br />5. City of Lake Worth, FL <br /> <br />In January 2003, Colin Baenziger was retained to assist the City of Lake Worth (population <br />30,500) in finding its next City Manager. Important to this recruitment was to find an <br />established manager with electric utility experience. The process was also complicated by the <br />fact that a municipal election was to be held in mid-March with a run-off at the end of the month. <br />The effort involved advertising, recruiting candidates, conducting background checks, <br />determining a list of finalists, coordinating the interview and selection process and assisting in <br />the contract negotiations. The process took 60 days, was similar to the process outlined in this <br />proposal and Mr. Paul Boyer of Oak Ridge, TN, was selected as manager after interviews at the <br />end of March. He is still employed by the City. Contact Mayor Rodney Romano on his cell <br />phone at (561) 818-0001 or Vice Mayor Mac MacKinnon at his home at (561) 582-6503. <br /> <br />6. City ofltJiami Gardens, FL <br /> <br />In May 2003, the City of Miami Gardens incorporated and, with a population of approximately <br />103,000 became the largest predominantly Afro-American city in Florida. In September, it <br />retained Colin Baenziger & Associates to find its City Manager. Using the process outlined in <br />this proposal and working with a committee of residents, CB&A completed the process on <br />schedule and selected Dr. Danny Crew, previously of Gastonia, NC, as its first manager in early <br />December 2004. Dr. Crew remains with the City and recently received a higWy favorable <br />evaluation from its elected officials. Contact Mayor Shirley Gibson or Vice Mayor Aaron <br />Campbell at (305) 622-8000. Alternatively, contact Dr. Danny Crew at (305) 622-8007. <br /> <br />-17- <br /> <br />fa <br />
