[7:03] >> Only only in a matter of

[7:06] taste. Seeing We'll move on to

[7:12] public comment. Is there

[7:17] anyone online. Then we're on

[7:21] to regular business item for a

[7:22] city manager.

[7:24] >> yes, the item before you is

[7:25] the selection or the direction

[7:27] to me to enter into the

[7:30] contractor behalf with an

[7:30] executive recruiting firm

[7:33] profit company is to recommend

[7:34] it for just background that

[7:35] will turn over to the members

[7:41] of the subcommittee. You You

[7:41] prepare solicitation for

[7:42] executive recurring service.

[7:45] We prepare that solicitation.

[7:47] Provided through a number of

[7:47] channels of both be provided

[7:51] directly to firms that we knew

[7:52] operated. We presided to

[7:56] national City manager

[7:57] Association. So station were

[7:58] shunted cities also and posted

[8:00] on our website response the

[8:04] substation we received a total

[8:05] of 8 responses. And I would

[8:09] consider that a good response.

[8:09] The response is all just to

[8:11] the firm's Bob Murray ends Bob

[8:16] ref tell us gmp consultants

[8:18] reffitt Associates Harris

[8:18] consulting cough and

[8:20] Associates profit. Ralph

[8:25] Anderson Associates. These

[8:25] were turned over to

[8:30] subcommittee. The subcommittee

[8:31] consisted of councilmember

[8:35] Schneider. I topless and more

[8:37] walk the they probably can

[8:40] fill you in on their

[8:41] deliberation in the review of

[8:43] the proposals. Thanks. City

[8:47] manager.

[8:48] >> Councilmember. I couldn't

[8:48] tell have topless or Milwaukee

[8:53] went first. Well, I'm hoping

[8:54] to I'm I'm going to defer to

[8:55] my colleagues to maybe make

[8:57] comment specifically more

[8:58] study MAY be that I even do

[8:59] about the final choice. But

[8:59] what's really important to me.

[9:00] Process was very important to

[9:02] me in the situation this is my

[9:06] thing. 3rd big city manager

[9:07] search and I feel like I had a

[9:07] good idea for some. The things

[9:08] that could sign that read like

[9:12] an would like and I just

[9:14] wanted to list out the

[9:14] parameters that I was looking

[9:15] at that. I feel like we all

[9:17] discussed so that everyone

[9:18] understands how broadly we

[9:19] looked in what they're doing

[9:20] all sorts of things that the

[9:21] cup public want to hear about.

[9:22] So just bear with me and I'm

[9:24] just going to tick off a list

[9:25] of of issues that I have noted

[9:27] that I was looking at in

[9:30] voting down and then further

[9:31] interviewing and that was the

[9:33] extent of experience. Placing

[9:35] city managers and Council

[9:36] manager jurisdictions

[9:37] experience with coastal gma

[9:40] regulated. So Northwest

[9:41] communities, equality of plan

[9:42] for input from Council staff

[9:45] and the community outreach be

[9:47] on passive applicant

[9:49] application. A collection

[9:51] clear fair and fair cost

[9:51] structure quality a plan for

[9:54] interviews testing projects

[9:56] reference checks, history of

[9:58] inclusive record recruitment,

[10:00] diverse slate equitable

[10:02] screening practices materials

[10:03] tailored to be eyes

[10:03] environment, politics and

[10:04] issues. We didn't get much of

[10:05] that from anybody. But we

[10:09] love. Quality of sample

[10:11] brochure materials realistic,

[10:12] unclear process and timeline

[10:13] regular updates experience

[10:14] with vocal and early to

[10:16] litigation prone communities

[10:21] experience managing divided

[10:21] councils.

[10:22] >> And and recognition of the

[10:23] need for both competence and

[10:23] collaborative leadership and

[10:24] of course, contract price. I

[10:27] feel that in.

[10:28] >> all these actually quite

[10:30] diverse applicants with all

[10:33] different sizes. Rest of peers

[10:35] etc that the firm we selected

[10:36] hit the most of these targets.

[10:36] And so that's why for the

[10:40] decision.

[10:41] >> It's going break up

[10:41] councilmember lucky. Thank

[10:44] you. And Cali. I top Alyssa,

[10:45] thank you for all that

[10:46] preparation. She came up with

[10:49] the guess I call a matrix of

[10:49] scoring. It was really a

[10:52] comprehensive list. As you

[10:54] heard in an era down. But it

[10:54] was it something that has a

[10:55] great frame up. Thanks for

[10:58] your work on that. So for

[10:59] transparency, we got

[11:00] applications. We met together

[11:04] as our subcommittee look them

[11:07] over and chose to forward 5.

[11:08] It's not a reflection on all

[11:08] of the applicants and all of

[11:11] these firms are very

[11:12] accomplished, very competent

[11:15] great track records which is a

[11:17] which is wonderful thing to

[11:21] have that. We have a lot of

[11:21] company firms that wanted to

[11:22] be helping us out by next city

[11:24] manager and interim manager.

[11:25] So and the group that we

[11:30] selected. It was. I think we

[11:32] we spent quite a time deciding

[11:35] on which group to do like for

[11:39] me it it fit to scoop by it.

[11:40] Location was great. I mean,

[11:42] one of the most California.

[11:44] And I think don't want stay

[11:45] too. But that was not the

[11:48] concern. We wanted the best

[11:51] group. This is happens to in

[11:54] our area person will be port

[11:56] Townsend resident and so it's

[11:57] very local very close and want

[12:10] to that person. Cliff. More.

[12:14] Lots lots of used to be a city

[12:15] manager and the outcome on

[12:17] ecmo County and Thurston

[12:20] County. So he has personal

[12:20] professional experience and

[12:21] he's done a lot of work. This

[12:24] firm I counted at least 20

[12:25] cities in Washington state

[12:26] that they have sent found city

[12:29] managers as well as probably

[12:30] another 50 were chief

[12:31] executives and other other

[12:32] positions. So they've been

[12:33] very successful. The thing

[12:36] that stuck out to me was he

[12:38] has a background growing. Many

[12:39] starting his early career as a

[12:42] Peace Corps volunteer in Togo

[12:43] West Africa. It was and

[12:46] refugees resettlement officer

[12:48] for care in Khartoum, Sudan,

[12:48] pretty amazing back on

[12:49] multicultural education.

[12:52] That's his degree. And the

[12:53] thing that stuck out to me was

[12:55] when he was at the Washington

[12:56] State University in 2021 it

[12:59] was a co author of an 8 week.

[13:00] Diversity equity inclusion

[13:03] seminar for all staff and

[13:05] faculty untitled fighting

[13:06] racism and that's a lens that

[13:09] we were using on a lot of our

[13:10] applicants the key person was

[13:11] actually kind wrote the book

[13:13] for was too. So clearly

[13:13] checked off that box very

[13:17] well. Thank you so much.

[13:18] Killed accounts over shater.

[13:23] Thank you, mayor.

[13:25] >> So again, while also I want

[13:29] to just give, you know, my

[13:30] grateful thanks to cancel

[13:31] ride. Topless for doing a lot

[13:34] of the advance work and coming

[13:35] up with the questions for us.

[13:36] You know, she was very

[13:38] collaborative about it in made

[13:38] sure that, you know, we felt

[13:40] that the questions were, you

[13:42] know what we would want to

[13:48] ask. So prof just happened to

[13:50] be in of of that from just

[13:53] happened to be our very first

[13:55] interview and I was blown

[13:57] away. I think we kind of

[13:58] looked at each other and said,

[14:02] well, if we had to stop here

[14:06] we'd And of course we you

[14:07] know, and there were things to

[14:08] talk about, right because

[14:09] there were some other

[14:10] outstanding qualities that

[14:14] showed later in the other

[14:15] interviews.

[14:16] >> I I would second what city

[14:18] manager said, which is that,

[14:19] you know, I mean, we didn't I

[14:20] don't know that 8 was the

[14:24] right number. But the 5 that

[14:26] we interviewed, we certainly

[14:31] got percent. And I just want

[14:35] to comment on. What sort of

[14:41] won me over with Cliff Just an

[14:41] amazing sense of down

[14:48] directors authenticity. Just

[14:49] like a belief that this was

[14:50] the guy we could collaborate

[14:51] with that there would be, you

[14:53] know, no structural barriers

[14:57] that that we would come up

[15:02] against and then you know, he

[15:03] in there to help the city of

[15:06] Tacoma select their city

[15:07] manager and not only that but

[15:08] their human resources director

[15:09] and their public works

[15:18] director. Then the also has 2

[15:19] city administrators in the

[15:20] city of Pullman in the city of

[15:21] Liberty Lake and I could go

[15:24] down the list, but I won't

[15:27] anyway. I'm I'm very excited

[15:27] about the coming process and

[15:29] sad as I for the reason for

[15:33] it. But anyway, just wanted to

[15:35] share a little bit about, you

[15:37] know, my personal response to

[15:38] this candidate company the one

[15:39] who would be representing in

[15:44] this search. Can somebody tell

[15:46] I just want to make wonderful

[15:47] question or comment. And I

[15:48] think this is really important

[15:49] for you to hear as much as

[15:50] possible from us as well as

[15:52] the community hearing. So you

[15:53] understand the community's

[15:54] sounds like what? How we got

[15:55] here, especially at all.

[15:56] Surprising or could anyone's

[15:57] concerned. We didn't consider

[15:57] anything.

[16:02] >> That would be important.

[16:03] And I think I would not have I

[16:04] guess what I want to share. If

[16:05] I were on the outside looking

[16:05] in, I would have been

[16:06] surprised that I would have

[16:09] landed on this local firm. I

[16:12] wanted to fixe and I am

[16:13] assuming the committee would

[16:15] say we want you to look look

[16:16] far and wide for us to find

[16:19] the perfect fit for us. So i

[16:19] would never have thought we

[16:23] would get some of the

[16:24] responses and feedback that we

[16:25] got from from prof about and

[16:26] from Cliff about what they

[16:30] will and can do nationally and

[16:31] to have that because I would

[16:32] never want to assure the

[16:32] community that there's no way

[16:35] that we're thinking we're so

[16:36] focused on Washington. We're

[16:38] not looking nationally. We're

[16:39] looking actually, but to have

[16:39] the proximity for in-person

[16:42] touches and above all the

[16:43] authenticity is so important.

[16:44] So we interviewed some people

[16:45] who are who are really good at

[16:49] what they do. And would they

[16:50] be a good fit for our

[16:51] community and our Council in

[16:54] our meetings and interacting

[16:54] in with a b, you know, how

[16:55] much would they flex their

[16:58] process, et cetera. And so I

[16:59] feel like we've got somebody

[17:04] who is a bubble authentic

[17:04] experience will do. The

[17:05] National search. Want to

[17:08] assure that people that and

[17:09] will give us the ability to

[17:11] say we want to add a different

[17:12] in another layer of interviews

[17:13] here or we want to do that.

[17:14] And there's no ego involved.

[17:15] We're going to be able to work

[17:17] with this person. So I think

[17:21] that's really critical. And I

[17:22] will just also say that we

[17:24] really did work hard,

[17:24] especially when we got down to

[17:25] the last 3 and really wrestled

[17:26] with just know that we we took

[17:29] it very seriously. That's

[17:31] we're lucky. And just

[17:32] >> Double down on what comes

[17:35] right on cnn again in

[17:39] compliment and you're really

[17:40] Preparation work again, all

[17:42] the firms and even the ones

[17:42] that we said we would move

[17:44] forward or they were wrong.

[17:47] Qualifying and nobody really

[17:48] kind of came down to what's

[17:51] going to be the best fit for

[17:52] our community in that will

[17:53] double our community come

[17:55] forward. The. For lack of a

[17:58] better word to 5 of this

[17:59] individual. And some of these

[18:03] were really professional. But.

[18:04] They might fit better in an

[18:06] urban I you like a Seattle or

[18:08] because the kind polished

[18:12] professional, which is great.

[18:12] But this is going to be this

[18:13] going to be probably one of

[18:15] the biggest things over decide

[18:18] on my term and it's going to

[18:19] be tough shoes to fill what

[18:20] size issues do you have

[18:25] blurred is make sure and he

[18:27] will be missed and you've sent

[18:28] us good model when we're

[18:29] looking for the possible

[18:31] candidates. They will find and

[18:32] prominent did say it's going

[18:34] to be a national search. And I

[18:35] also in the interviews today.

[18:36] I think her son of amended

[18:39] wanted to it. They want to be

[18:40] flexible. They want to make

[18:42] sure they fit our community in

[18:43] process. Plan is to be about 4

[18:46] months or so. So and the thank

[18:48] you see So that I just and I

[18:50] think Leslie, too, for. I

[18:54] think we I think we're good.

[18:55] >> Bouncing off team in each

[18:56] with any of you like to make

[19:06] the motion. Think.

[19:12] >> just seasons it to

[19:12] >> won't make the motion, but

[19:14] I just wanted to declare my

[19:17] intense interest in this the

[19:20] way on the periphery of going

[19:21] forward. But I'm very

[19:22] interested in the search and

[19:26] I'm grateful too. The

[19:31] committee for the thought they

[19:32] put in to what we're looking

[19:32] for and how we're going about

[19:36] it. The and just the darley

[19:42] with you.

[19:43] >> Councilmember Johnson just

[19:45] want to say that I appreciate

[19:48] the work that went into the

[19:49] process because I know that

[19:49] was a big deal last time that

[19:53] time. It was kind of amazing

[19:55] everybody that we didn't have

[19:55] more. The one we had was

[20:02] imminent. And so this brings

[20:03] the public France, the rest of

[20:07] the council people I'm sure

[20:09] you guys gave it your ended

[20:09] very due diligence. And I

[20:14] appreciate that. Thank you.

[20:14] >> I echo everything. I am so

[20:18] grateful that it was you 3. I

[20:19] think it was the perfect group

[20:20] for this sort of decision and

[20:21] the sort of work in the home

[20:25] work that went into it. Super

[20:26] confident that this is the

[20:27] right I'm really excited to

[20:29] meet him and work with him. I

[20:33] find it even more special it's

[20:34] 2 council members who went

[20:35] through the West selling

[20:36] program and are using language

[20:37] like collaborative in some of

[20:38] those things that you learned.

[20:39] I'm sure went into this

[20:42] decision and so I think the

[20:44] community should be able to be

[20:45] confident that this is the

[20:45] right choice that building

[20:47] brought along the way and that

[20:50] we'll be masking the right

[20:50] questions to fill the shoes

[20:51] that we didn't want to feel

[20:57] so. Councilmember chater.

[20:58] >> I can make the motion. I

[20:59] also just had one more small

[21:00] comment, which is that a

[21:03] number of the firm's that you

[21:06] see on the list have men's

[21:07] names and had women ceos so I

[21:13] just one wanted. That's right.

[21:17] Yeah. Well, so that was a nice

[21:17] surprise and they weren't shy

[21:20] about saying yeah, this state

[21:22] that has a man's name but a

[21:27] woman is okay. Alright, I

[21:28] moved to authorize the city

[21:29] manager to execute an

[21:30] agreement with profit company

[21:34] as the executive search firm

[21:35] to assist with the

[21:35] identification of the city's

[21:39] next city manager and interim

[21:40] city manager.

[21:40] >> They see 18,500 plus

[21:46] expenses.

[21:46] >> Great motion made by

[21:47] councilmember Schneider

[21:48] seconded by councilmember more

[21:54] waukee. All those in favor. I

[21:54] seeing opposition comes

[21:58] forward to thank you have a

[22:00] question for the city manager

[22:01] for advice on whether we

[22:04] should do anything to bridge

[22:06] between now and when will be

[22:07] really interfacing with Cliff.

[22:08] In other words, would be

[22:09] helpful for the 3 of us at all

[22:12] to help bridge.

[22:12] >> Before we can all sit down

[22:13] together is that meant has

[22:14] been the work happening. We're

[22:18] going to lose a good. For

[22:19] weeks. It feels like or

[22:19] something in this. And what

[22:20] would your recommendation for

[22:22] how we get from here where

[22:23] we're all deciding how we move

[22:26] forward.

[22:27] >> Tomorrow. We will be

[22:29] sending out the contract to

[22:30] profit company. Expect the

[22:33] contract return. There's a

[22:34] couple of tasks will have to

[22:35] occur peril. One of the

[22:36] important ones is that we're

[22:38] actually right into the scope

[22:41] they're going to provide a

[22:45] minimum for qualified

[22:49] candidates for city manager to

[22:50] the council. Also, I would

[22:51] imagine profit spawn to us

[22:56] with a tentative schedule for

[22:57] initial introductions in their

[22:57] scope. Their first piece is

[23:02] too develop a profile.

[23:03] Qualities of city manager

[23:04] candidate that the council in

[23:07] the community would like

[23:08] typically there's a

[23:08] three-legged stool here and

[23:10] that is the council, the

[23:15] community staff and typically

[23:16] again, this is a well

[23:17] experienced a recruitment They

[23:22] will make inroads in and

[23:22] discuss with you the way to

[23:25] reach out to touch those bases

[23:26] and then they'll be doing that

[23:28] simultaneously with developing

[23:31] go fund at pool for an

[23:32] interim. I expect that they

[23:33] will be doing that through the

[23:33] month of DECEMBER in 2 mid

[23:38] JANUARY. And the person

[23:39] interaction. I'm sure

[23:45] beginning of the year.

[23:46] >> That's precisely why I want

[23:48] to be sure that we at a

[23:50] minimum request early agenda

[23:52] item for the council, discuss

[23:53] any feedback that we want to

[23:53] give since we can't

[23:54] individually in our one on

[23:57] ones. Be directing anything at

[23:58] all. And it was an important

[23:59] part of our selection of this

[23:59] from an if it would have been

[24:04] any from that we just met with

[24:05] that we would have the ability

[24:06] as a council to weigh in on

[24:10] that critical first step what

[24:11] is gathered in the process for

[24:12] and in that won't surprise

[24:14] Cliff. I don't think to ensure

[24:17] we get the best background for

[24:17] the profile. So I just want to

[24:19] put out a strong, you know,

[24:20] saving right now. The sooner

[24:20] we can get gender that the

[24:22] whole Council can talk about

[24:26] something like that. Because

[24:27] we're going to go again. We're

[24:28] going go into debt area where

[24:31] we're just 7 people

[24:32] disconnected. And if too many

[24:33] balls, good going too far. We

[24:37] might lost an opportunity.

[24:37] >> through through the chair.

[24:38] That's one the reasons why we

[24:40] want to have this meeting. Was

[24:45] to go ahead and get to this

[24:46] engagement commenced and

[24:50] executed. So we get was any

[24:51] time. Obviously it's really

[24:55] tough. Chris summit first of

[24:56] the year. I expect that

[24:57] probably will communicate will

[25:00] provide that to the council

[25:01] are tentative schedule for

[25:04] other activities at this point

[25:06] is JANUARY 13th will be the

[25:09] first Council council will be

[25:12] swearing in for councilmember

[25:13] son. That meeting will try to

[25:16] make more ceremonial eating.

[25:16] We do have a study session

[25:17] scheduled for JANUARY. The

[25:22] 20th. The topics we thought we

[25:24] had probably change some of

[25:25] those topics. And then a

[25:25] regular business meeting on

[25:29] the 27th. We also can't call

[25:33] through. After the 13th. We

[25:38] will have. A new mayor and

[25:40] then through of the American

[25:41] call special meetings as

[25:44] needed for the council. To

[25:45] engage in various steps along

[25:49] the way. So yes, the work a

[25:50] little bit of flexibility on

[25:52] the council's part. But I

[25:55] expect that we can do that and

[25:57] hopefully can have quick

[25:58] check-in meetings like this

[25:58] one was intended to be in

[26:01] terms of allowing Go ahead

[26:02] slick for and then we can get

[26:04] the paperwork going and

[26:06] they'll be on and certain with

[26:12] the engagement problem too.

[26:14] >> Council We're I was just

[26:15] waiting for good. The No other

[26:23] discussion topic on

[26:25] >> Kirsten, sorry to be the

[26:27] doors. But when I hear that

[26:28] timeline and I think what

[26:29] they're going to have in mind.

[26:31] And the possibility that if we

[26:34] don't put in a request now to

[26:35] start floating in for problems

[26:38] in for special meeting of the

[26:38] council to have introduction

[26:42] to this person to Cliff and to

[26:42] find out what the plan is for

[26:45] the development of a profile

[26:46] and see where the flexibility

[26:47] we're going to get into the

[26:51] end of DECEMBER and that that

[26:52] timeline. I'm guessing that

[26:52] his preference is going to be

[26:53] that he's getting close to

[26:57] developing a profile. So

[26:58] again, I certainly Biden for

[26:58] many attractions you guys. But

[27:02] I'm just warning us that. You

[27:03] know, we're having for a

[27:04] certain period time is going

[27:05] expect a timeline. And I

[27:05] actually for months is among

[27:09] the shortest of timelines. We

[27:10] were provided. And I think 6

[27:10] easily have been fine. So

[27:13] little rain and it's getting

[27:17] too late. JANUARY without.

[27:18] This is the place that we have

[27:20] the ability to speak and

[27:20] between now and the next

[27:21] meeting were just individuals.

[27:24] So. Anybody else feels like it

[27:24] would be good to start looking

[27:29] for. A second week of JANUARY.

[27:35] Something special meeting.

[27:35] Councilmember

[27:38] >> just be a different.

[27:41] Available before a meeting. A

[27:45] lot of We need steps in place.

[27:49] It's noted the city manager

[27:49] Okay. This week. Another

[27:53] draft. Thank you. Thank you,

[27:53] mayor.

[27:54] >> Their draft schedule mean

[27:55] this is what the proposed that

[27:57] weeks of JANUARY, 1512, gather

[27:58] information for position

[27:59] profile travel limit for

[28:01] stakeholder member interviews.

[28:05] Profile for review at its get.

[28:06] Profile approval and then

[28:07] JANUARY 19 post profiling

[28:11] problem in that. They're kind

[28:12] of in your Lane. It sounds

[28:14] like at least sensitive that

[28:15] they want to get this moving

[28:16] as quickly as possible. And so

[28:20] there. Don't think we're going

[28:20] to be I don't think we're

[28:22] gonna be that out of sync with

[28:22] what the dress schedule is

[28:32] here. Thank This isn't about

[28:38] talk right.

[28:39] >> If you feel come to, you I

[28:41] will I will make a motion that

[28:42] the council direct the city

[28:43] manager to determine what

[28:44] options we might have for a

[28:48] special City Council meeting.

[28:49] Lots of flexibility by the

[28:51] second week of JANUARY so that

[28:51] we can actively participate a

[28:59] profile process. Secondly, I

[29:03] seconded ok. So motion made by

[29:04] Council. I don't is seconded

[29:05] by councilmember more lucky.

[29:32] the that the Macau Museum of

[29:32] Art fashion. People remember

[29:33] this, but to catch people

[30:15] joyous thing that they wanted

[30:16] to be involved in in our

[30:17] process. Even if it's

[30:20] something like this, but did

[30:21] help to this wonderful

[30:22] facility. This wonderful tool
