ISSUE
Should the City Council approve an agreement with The Waters Consulting Group, Inc. for
the search and recruitment of a Human Resources Director?
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).
