candidates you seek with our experience recruiting outstanding candidates who
are not necessarily looking for a job. Our proven expertise ensures that the
candidates we present for your consideration will match the criteria you have
established and will be outstanding in their field.
With respect to the City Manager recruitment, Bob Murray & Associates offers
the following expertise:
'*' Our firm is familiar with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the
community it serves, as we previously conducted your City Manager
recruitment. We are also familiar with . Los Angeles County and the

cities of Pico Rivera, San Fernando, and South Gate. We recently completed i ..
recruitments on behalf of the cities of Arcadia (City Manager and Human .

Assisting the Homeless (PATH). Our knowledge of the region, its issues, and its
outstanding quality of life will be an asset in presenting this opportunity to prospective

currently conducting City Manager recruitments on behalf of the cities of Oxnard, Pico
Rivera, Rancho Cordova, and San Fernando, CA and the City of Phoenix, AZ. In the

placements, please see the enclosed client list. Our extensive contacts and .
knowledge of outstanding candidates will ensure you have a quality group of
finalists from which to select the next City Manager.
A signi!icant portion of our process focuses on conducting thorough and
confidential background investigations of the top 2-3 candidates to ensure that
nothing about them is left undiscovered. We have candid discussions with
references who have insight into the candidate's experience, style and ethics;
conduct a search of newspaper articles; and run credit, criminal, and civil
records reports. This ensures that the chosen candidate will not only be an
excellent fit with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, but also that the selected

THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Bob Murray & Associates' unique and client oriented approach to executive search will
ensure that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes has quality candidates from which to select
the new City Manager. Outlined below are the key steps in our recruitment process.
STEP 1 DEVELOPING THE CANDIDATE PROFILE
Our understanding of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes's needs will be key to a
successful search. We will work with the City Council to learn as much as possible
about the organization's expectations for a new City Manager. We want to learn
the values and culture of the organization, as well as understand the current
issues, challenges, and opportunities that face the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.
We also. want to know the City Council's expectations regarding the knowledge,
skills, and abilities sought in the ideal candidate and will work with the City to
identify expectations regarding education and experience. Additionally, we want
to discuss expectations regarding compensation and other items necessary to
complete the successful appointment of the ideal candidate. The profile we
develop together at this stage will drive subsequent recruitment efforts.
STEP 2 ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AND RECRUITMENT BROCHURE
After gaining an understanding of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes's needs,
we will design an effective advertising campaign appropriate for the City
Manager recruitment. We will focus on professional journals that are
specifically suited to the City Manager search. We will also develop a
professional recruitment brochure on the City Council's behalf that will
discuss the community, organization, position, and compensation in detail.
Once completed, we will mail the profile to an extensive audience, making
them aware of the exciting opportunity with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.
STEP 3 RECRUITING CANDIDATES
After cross-referencing the profile of the ideal candidate with our database and
contacts in the field, we will conduct an aggressive outreach effort, including
making personal calls to prospective applicants, designed to identify and recruit
outstanding candidates. We recognize that the best candidate is often not looking
for a new job and this is the person we actively seek to convince to become a
candidate. Aggressively marketing the City Manager position to prospective
candidates will be essential to the success of the search.
STEP 4 SCREENING CANDIDATES
Following the closing date for the recruitment, we will screen the resumes we have received.
We will use the criteria established in our initial meetings as a basis upon which to narrow the
field of candidates.
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Page 2
STEP 5 PERSONAL INTERVIEWS
We will conduct personal interviews with the top 10 to 12 candidates with the goal of
determining which candidates have the. greatest potential to succeed in your organization.
During the interviews we will explore each candidate's background and experience as it
relates to the City Manager position. In addition, we will discuss the candidate's
motivation for applying for the position and make an assessment of his/her knowledge,
skills and abilities. We will devote specific attention to establishing the likelihood of the
candidate's acceptance of the position if an offer of employment is mad~.
STEP 6 PUBLIC RECORD SEARCH
Following the interviews, we will conduct a review of published articles for each
candidate. Various sources will be consulted including Lexis-Nexis™, a
newspaper/ magazine search engine, Google, and local papers for the
commtillities in which the candidates have worked. This alerts us to any further
detailed inquiries we may need to make at this time.
STEP 7 RECOMMENDATION
Based on the information gathered through meetings with your organization
and personal interviews with candidates, we will recommend a limited number
of candidates for your further consideration. We will prepare a written report
on each candidate that focuses on the results of our interviews and public
record searches. We will make specific recommendations, but the final
determination of those to be considered will be up to you.
STEP 8 FINAL INTERVIEWS
Our years of experience will be invaluable as we help you develop an interview
process that objectively assesses the qualifications of each candidate. We will
adopt an approach that fits your needs, whether it is a traditional interview,
multiple interview panel, or assessment center process. We will provide you with
suggested inte1view questions and rating forms and will be present at the
interview/ assessment center to facilitate the process. Our expertise lies in
facilitating the discussion that can bring about a consensus regarding the final
candidates.
We will work closely with your staff to coordinate and schedule interviews and
candidate travel. Our goal is to ensure that each candidate has a very positive
experience, as the manner in which the entire process is conducted will have an effect
on the candidates' perception of your organization.
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Page 3
STEP 9 BACKGROUND CHECKS /DETAILED REFERENCE CHECKS
Based on final interviews we will conduct credit, criminal, civil litigation, and motor vehicle
record checks for the top one to three candidates. In addition, those candidates will be the
subjects of detailed, confidential reference checks. In order to gain an accurate and honest
appraisal of the candidates' strengths and weaknesses, we will talk candidly with people .
who have direct knowledge of their work and management style. We will ask candidates
to forward the names of their supervisors, subordinates, and peers for the past several .. · ·
years. Additionally, we make a point of speaking confidentially to indiyiduals who we ··
know have insight into a candidate's abilities, but who may not be on their preferred
list of contacts. At this stage in the recruitment we will also verify candidates'
degrees.
STEP 10 NEGOTIATIONS
We recognize the critical importance of successful negotiations and can serve as
your representative during this process. We know what other organizations have
done to put deals together with great candidates and will be available to advise
you regarding current approaches to difficult issues such as housing and
relocation. We will represent your interests and advise you regarding salary,
benefits, and employment agreements with the goal of putting together a deal
that results in the appointment of your chosen candidate. Most often we can
turn a very difficult aspect of the recruitment into one that is viewed positively
by both you and the candidate.
STEP 11 COMPLETE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANCE
Throughout the recruitment we will provide the City Council with updates on
the status of the search. We will also take care of all administrative details on
your behalf. Candidates will receive personal letters advising them of their status
at each critical point in the recruitment. In addition, we will respond to inquiries
about the status of their candidacy within twenty-four hours. Every
administrative detail will receive our attention. Often, candidates judge our clients
based on how well these details are handled.

As Cathedral City was incorporated in 1981 , after Proposition 13 went
into effect, it is like many California cities that have faced challenges during
the recent economic downturn. The key challenge for the City Manager
will be to ensure continued economic and financial health of Cathedral
City. One of the City's most vital sources of revenue depends on
an extension of Measure "H" that was passed by voters in
June 20 I 0 and is to expire September 30, 2015. This
temporary, one percent transaction and use tax is critical
to the vitality of the City.
Cathedral City is considering plans for a major annexa-
tion fronting 1-10 that will provide significant retail,
commercial and industrial opportunities. This project
will bring significant growth and development to the
area and will contribute to the City's tax base.
