BACKGROUND The City Administration would like to procure the services of a consulting firm to assist in locating a candidate to fill the Director of Human Resources position for the City. This position has been vacant since June 2007 and is currently occupied by an Acting Director. Two recruitments performed by the City have been conducted to locate a candidate for the position of Director; however, both attempts did not produce a viable candidate for this very important position. A Request for Proposals was sent out to a dozen consulting firms that specialize in employment recruitment services, and the City received five offers for consideration. The Waters Consulting Group, Inc. was the selected firm. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Resolution. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $30,500 will be transferred from the Contingencies Account in the 2008 General Fund Budget (see attached spreadsheet for the balance in the contingencies account).
