Okay, are we ready? We are. We want. Will you please do the roll call, clerk?

Thank you, Councilmember Kaplan. Councilmember Tullamantes. Councilmember Vang.

Here and your Jennings. Here. Councilmember Tullamante. Will you please do the

landate knowledge for us and the pledge of allegiance? Please rise for the

opening acknowledgments and honor sacraments of the indigenous people and tribal

lands. To the original people of this land, the Nisanan people, the southern

Maydu, Vowelian planes, mewag, Patwain wind two peoples, and the people of the

Bolteran area. Sacraments only readily recognize tribe. Maybe acknowledge and

honor the native people who came before us and still walk beside us today on

these ancestral lands by choosing to gather together today and the actor

practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for sacraments and indigenous

people, history, contributions and lives. Thank you.

So, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic

for which it stands one nation under God, individual, liberty and justice for all.

Thank you so much. All right. We will now move on with our agenda. Today is the day

where we will interview, have interviews of the executive recruitment firms to

conduct the city manager recruitment with recommendations of conducting

interviews of firms to discussing the firms qualifications, three past

emotion, recommending engagement of a firm to be directed, to be directed,

directing the city clerk to forward the recommendation to the city council.

And so with that, we will move forward with our agenda and I will now bring up

Jennifer Wilkerson to start us off. Good morning, Jennifer.

As you said, I'm Jennifer Wilkinson, administrative officer in the employment

classification and development division of human resources. The city received

two bids for consideration in the city manager recruitment, CPS, HR

consulting and MGT impact solutions. Today, they're both firms will be here to

provide a presentation on their firm's recruitment process and to answer any

of the committee's questions. And so first we'll have Pam Derby, executive

recruitment manager. She's here from CPS and then we will also have Mary Jacobs,

who's a director at MGT joined by her colleague,

virtually Sarah McKee who will and then with that, Pam take the stage.

Good morning, council. Thank you so much for having us. We appreciate the

opportunity to present our qualifications. I know many of you are very familiar

with us. We are headquartered here in Sacramento. CPS is a California joint

powers authority. We have are actually celebrating our 40th year this year.

We were all in town year week before last with a big celebration. I know

Chair Jennings is very familiar with our CEO, Jerry Greenwell, who has announced

his retirement in June after 20 plus years as our CEO. And so we had a very

large celebration regarding that as well. I'm Pam Derby. I manage the executive

recruitment function at CPS HR. I'm in year 22 there. And I came from

Ube County where I was the aide to the board of supervisors. So I've spent

most of my career in the public sector. So today we want to talk to you about

what we would do for you for the city manager search. Obviously we conduct

many of these. We've conducted hundreds over the last 20 plus years that we've

had executive search. CPS HR is a full service HR consulting company. But we

added executive search in the early 2000s and that's when I joined the company.

The first thing we would do with the council is we would approve a proposed

timeline and our approach. And typically a city manager search takes about 16

weeks. So a four month period. You have about a four to six week open period.

You have the time previous to opening the recruitment where we'd be doing

engagement. Discussions with the council with the public. Maybe surveys, etc.

And so that takes two to three weeks. And then typically we can get it out on

the street. Obviously there are places we can cut time if necessary. We have

done city manager searches and is little is 12 to 14 weeks. But I don't

believe that that would be the case here in Sacramento where I believe we're

going to have to do a lot of engagement prior to this hitting the street.

So the first thing we do in our phase one is we would establish the timeline as

I mentioned and all the communication expectations with the council.

Oftentimes a council will choose to have a subcommittee that works with us in

the initial portions of the recruitment. However we usually speak with each
