RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City
Manager to enter into contract negotiations with the firms included on the Pre -qualified Proposers List (Exhibit
"A"), on an as needed basis, for executive search services, at a cost not to exceed $100,600 for an initial period of
one year, with the option to renew for three additional one year periods for the Department of Human Resources.
The City of Miami reserves the right to add pre -qualified Proposers to this List as it deems necessary. Funding for
these services has been identified in Account No. 001000.921002.6.270.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Human Resources has conducted several nationwide recruitments in an effort to fill the
Director of Finance position, which has been vacant since January 29, 2000. This on -going recruitment effort was
initially conducted in February/March 2000 and again in April/May 2000. The recruitments included advertising
in the local and national Government Finance Officers Association newsletters, the International City/County,
Manager's Association newsletters, and other local and national newspapers, as well as on financial and
management -oriented Internet websites. Additionally, a statewide; targeted recruitment was conducted, as well as
an Internet resume search; however, none of those contacted was interested in pursuing the opportunity at that
time.
The Director of Finance position is critical to the City's success in meeting the goals of the State Oversight Board.
Additionally, given the positive employment outlook for persons in the financial arena, it has become increasingly
difficult to attract viable candidates to this position. Therefore, it is imperative that we now undertake extreme
measures in filling the position.
In the event other executive positions prove to be difficult to fill, having a list of approved firms that can offer this
search service will provide the City with the flexibility needed to quickly locate qualified individuals. We would
then be able to negotiate with one or more of the pre -qualified Proposers in order to generate viable candidates to
fill these executive positions. Each of these qualified firms has extensive experience in conducting national
professional searches, and expertise in public -sector placement. These firms, which have a national reputation of
selecting highly qualified professionals, would.be available to conduct national searches for various difficult to fill
executive and high-level unclassified positions, under the terms and conditions of the contract approved by the
City.
Funding for these services has been identified by the Department of Management and Budget in Account No.
001000.92 002.6.270 at an estimated amount not to exceed $100,000.
