In <br />addition,we have begun reorganizing our finance and accounting processes to better meet <br />proper accepted accounting guidelines. Background checks on these new <br />employees handling the City's finances is simply good business. The City has used Mr. <br />Baenziger in the past for both of these services with excellent results. We are asking <br />for your authorization to use him on an ongoing basis for both of these functions, with <br />ratification of the individual contracts by the Commission after the fact. Staff will <br />present them to the Commission at the earliest possible opportunity. We will only use <br />his recruiting service for critical Department Head level positions (and then, only when <br />deemed appropriate) and those shall not exceed the amount of $20,000. Background <br />checks will be negotiated individually but should not exceed $3,000 (and again, only <br />when deem appropriate). We also ask for ratification of all previous services requested <br />of and provided by Mr. Baenziger. <br /> <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> <br />The recruiting fees will be paid from the respective department's budget of the positions <br />being filled. The background checks will be paid from Human Resources budget. <br /> <br />A TT ACHMENTS: <br />.
