The progress report will also include the semi-finalists' current salary.

They are understandably reluctant to apply for positions when their application could become a matter of public information prior to being assured that the client is interested in their candidacy. SMC has a proven track record of W aggressively pursuing these types of "happily employed" candidates to encourage them to submit their applications. SMC's approach to this assignment will reflect the unique qualities of Lubbock, and it will honor the confidentiality of candidates to the extent permitted by Texas law. SMC would like the City of Lubbock to consider SMC's unique qualities and approach identified below that help to distinguish it from other public sector recruiting firms. . Slavin Management Consultants • Proposal to Recruit Lubbock City Manager -Page 14 • SMC is results -oriented. Once the recruitment profile is approved by the City, SMC will "lock" into the profile's criteria and carefully identify, recruit, and evaluate candidates who meet the City of Lubbock's criteria. SMC does not simply bring forward candidates it already knows. • SMC is committed to complete client satisfaction. SMC's successful placement - oriented approach will ensure that the project work is practical, realistic, and timely and that it has the full commitment and support of the client so that a successful placement occurs. • SMC makes use of resources that go beyond "Google" searches to conduct background checks of potential candidates. In addition and unique to this Industry, SMC visits finalists' work sites prior to client Interviews to learn first-hand about candidates' management style and work performance. • SMC's methodologies are state-of-the-art and include advertising in traditional publications, websites, and use of SMC's large resume data base to generate quality applicants. • SMC's style is interactive in that it builds a partnership with its clients. • SMC uses discount airfares and makes multi -client trips whenever possible to reduce expenses to its clients. • SMC are experts in EEO/AA recruitment. Approximately 25 percent of its placements are from protected groups (see Appendix B for partial list). • Every search SMC has conducted resulted in a selection from among its recommended group of candidates. SMC's experience includes large and small organizations and chief executives and subordinate -level positions. More than 95 percent of SMC's placements have remained in their clients' positions for more than five years, and the guarantee (see Appendix E) of redoing the search due to the candidate leaving during the first 2 years of the new position has occurred only twice out of more than 850 searches. SMC has established this enviable track -record due to its extensive research at the beginning of each assignment about the client and the position to be filled which helps SMC identify candidates that are a good fit for the position. This candidate fit is further verified through extensive background investigations, reference checks, and visits to finalists' work sites. SMC believes the best predictor of future candidate performance is past performance which is why SMC obtains such a substantial amount of information about each finalist. While SMC is proud of its results -oriented approach of focusing on the practical aspects of filling positions in a timely and cost-effective manner, SMC realizes that process is important as well. For example, Lubbock's City Manager recruitment profile and advertisement will be viewed by thousands of local government professionals throughout the nation. This provides an excellent opportunity for Lubbock to market itself and increase its visibility to opinion -makers throughout the United States. SMC will Slavin Management Consultants • Proposal to Recruit Lubbock City Manager -Page 15 produce a quality recruitment profile brochure that markets Lubbock in a positive light (see Appendix D for example of SMC recruitment profile). In addition, the "customer service" approach SMC employs in dealing with prospective candidates will also reflect positively on Lubbock. SMC is as proud of its responsiveness to candidates as it is to its clients.

Follow-up 4 No $0 Charge TOTAL HOURS 157 76 TOTAL COST i$16,005 Slavin Management Consultants • Proposal to Recruit Lubbock City Manager • Page IC - 2 EXPENSES Expenses for this executive search will be billed on an actual cost basis and will not exceed 60 percent of the professional fee ($9,603). Additional detail about these expenses is shown below. Consultant Travel: The client pays direct costs for all necessary consultant travel using lowest available air rates, corporate hotel rates at moderately priced properties (Holiday Inn or equivalent), rental cars using the corporate discount, and normal meals. The client controls these costs in the following ways: 1) the client pre -approves all work plans including all consultant and candidate travel; and 2) when appropriate, the consultant will work on more than one search when traveling and will therefore allocate costs to multiple clients. Office Costs: telephone ($350 flat fee, billed in two installments), fax, postage, copier, and delivery costs. Advertising: typically approximately $2,000. The client controls these costs because the advertising program will be approved by the client prior to implementation. The cost for finalists to travel to the client's locale for interviews is not included in the cost of this proposal. Such costs are typically paid by the client on a reimbursement basis directly to the candidates and controlled through the client's prior approval of the finalists. These costs vary depending on candidate location, spousal involvement, and the length of the interview process. For budgeting purposes, an average cost of between $450-650 per candidate would be appropriate. Typically five candidates are interviewed. Should the client's needs result in an increased project scope that significantly increases consultant travel and/or advertising costs, it may be necessary to increase the expense budget for the project which would require client approval. Regarding travel expenses, SMC's project budget includes a total of 3 trips to the client's locale for 2 consultants. If the client requires SMC to make additional trips to its locale that result in SMC's total project expenses exceeding $9,603, then the client will reimburse SMC for these out-of- pocket travel expenses. The client's liability to Slavin Management Consultants for services rendered under this agreement will not exceed the agreed upon price unless an increase is authorized by the client in writing. SMC will submit monthly invoices for fees and expenses. It is SMC's practice to bill 30 percent at the start of the search, 30 percent at the end of thirty days, 30 percent at the end of sixty days, and the remaining 10 percent shortly after the time that the candidate accepts the position. Expenses will be billed in addition and shown as a separate figure. Each invoice will be payable upon receipt. Slavin Management Consultants • Proposal to Recruit Lubbock City Manager • Page I C-3 SMC will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations of federal, state, and local government entities. SMC's liability, if any, will not be greater than the amount paid to SMC for the services rendered. Slavin Management Consultants • Proposal to Recruit Lubbock City Manager • Page IC -4 The City of Aurora has won more than 100 awards in the last decade. Most noteworthy is that Aurora received the All -America City Award in 2008 for the Fitzsimons Campus development an after-school program, and an immigrant integration project. The City has received 7 ICMA awards in recent .years for innovative programs in the areas of :sustainability, community partnerships, public - `private partnerships, citizen involvement, public safety, and services to the disadvantaged. Also, in 2009, Aurora was one of only 20 jurisdictions in the country to receive the ICMA Center for Performance Measurement Certificates of Achievement, Distinction, and Excellence for its performance management program. The City also was named the Top Digital City in America for cities of 250,000+ population in 2007 and 2008. ABOUT AURORA — Aurora, Colorado, part of the Aurora/Denver metropolitan area, is a city of 314,000 residents and is the third largest city in Colorado. Strategically located near the Denver International Airport, Aurora is home to many bioscience, aerospace, healthcare, and high technology employers including the Raytheon Company, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing. During the last several decades, Aurora has evolved from a bedroom suburb cast in the shadow of Denver into its own dynamic urban center that is the second largest community in the 3.5 million population metropolitan area. With an emphasis on smart growth, infill development, sustainability, and livable neighborhoods, Aurora's population has grown by 1.5 percent annually over the last 18 years. Only slightly more than half of Aurora's 154 square miles is currently developed so there is ample opportunity for Aurora to continue to grow. HISTORY Incorporated in 1891, Aurora was originally named Fletcher by its founder, former Chicago resident Donald Fletcher. In 1907, the community changed its name to Aurora. Agriculture was the main industry in Aurora's early years. In 1921 while Aurora still had less than 2,000 residents, the U.S. government selected Aurora as the site for Fitzsimons Army Hospital to treat the wounded—especially those affected by mustard gas and tuberculosis—during World War I. In 1938, the Lowry Air Force Base located partly in Aurora was built. In 1942, the Army Air Corps built Buckley Field, now named the Buckley Air Force Base. These bases enhanced Aurora's military presence and helped to spur Aurora's growth to a community of 50,000 residents by 1960. Fueled by interstate highway construction and the desirable quality of life offered by the area, Aurora's population increased, more than five -fold to 276,000 by 2000. However, the 1990's was not without its challenges as the Lowry Air Force Base and the Fitzsimons Army Hospital were closed by the federal government. The community responded to these challenges by converting Fitzsimons into a world-class medical campus and one of the largest bioscience parks in the country. Additional information about Aurora is available at www.auroragov.org The City is rigorous in its pursuit of excellence and professionalism in the delivery of its services as demonstrated by the following City departments that have met national accreditation standards: Police—accredited by Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies; Public Works—accredited by American Public Works Association (1 of only 3 in Colorado); Fire—accredited by Commission of Fire Accreditation International; and Building—accredited by International Accreditation Service (only one in Colorado). Prepared by Slavin Management Consultants for The City of Aurora, Colorado — May 2010 1 D — 1 HOUSING In the 1980's, the City established a vision of creating new employment centers with high -paying jobs along with housing options desired by these employees. As a result, many new housing developments with higher -end detached single-family and condominium units have been created. One of these developments, Southshore, was named the Community of the Year in 2007 by the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Denver. FITZSIMONS CAMPUS With the closing of the Fitzsimons Army Hospital by the federal government in 1995, Aurora partnered with the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and the University of Colorado Medical School to create the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority. The result has been the establishment of the Fitzsimons Campus that in combination with the adjacent Anschutz Medical Campus has created a 578 -acre site with 15,000 employees dedicated to bioscience, healthcare, medical education, and advanced research. This is the largest bioscience development in Colorado and one of the largest in the country. There are still 184 acres at the Fitzsimons Campus yet to be developed. When completed, the total public and private investment in the Fitzsimons Campus will be $4.2 billion, and the Campus will be home to 30,000 employees. The Campus currently has two hospitals --University of �- Colorado Medical School and The Children's Hospital. In addition, a $98 million Veteran's Administration Hospital is currently being constructed and is projected to open in 2013.

Prepared by Slavin Management Consultants for The City of Aurora, Colorado - May 2010 1 D - 2 C C C THE CITY GOVERNMENT - C GOVERANCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The City of Aurora has operated under the council-manager form of government since 1954. The City Council consists of a Mayor and 10 Council Members elected to 4 -year overlapping terms. The Mayor and 4 �- Council Members are elected at -large, and the other 6 Council Members are elected by wards. Aurora is the 25th largest council-manager city in the country. The City has a long history of its Mayors being actively involved in day-to- day representation of the City. In recognition of this, the Mayor's position was changed to full-time in 1993 by Aurora voters. The Mayor's duties which consist of chairing City Council meetings and voting to break ties on Council agenda items were not impacted as a result of the change to a full-time position. houses the City's administrative offices The City Council appoints a Mayor Pro Tem annually for a one-year term. The Mayor Pro Tem serves as Mayor in his or her absence and also makes appointments to the 9 Council Committees that address various policy issues. Each Council Member chairs one Committee and serves on 3 Committees. Following is a list of the Council Committees: Community Partnership; Management and Finance; Neighborhood Services; Operations and Environmental Affairs; Planning, Economic Development and Redevelopment; Public and Intergovernmental Relations; Public Safety and Courts; Transportation and Airports; and Water. The City Manager ensures that the policy direction set by the City Council is carried out and that City services are delivered equitably to all residents. The City Manager is responsible for recommending the budget to the City Council and for hiring and providing managerial leadership to City staff. The former City Manager recently retired after 13 years in the position. Including the former City Manager, the previous 2 City Managers served for a total of 20 years, both leaving voluntarily. The City is a full-service operation with 2,676 FTE's. The City conducts collective bargaining with both Police and Fire unions. In addition to the City Manager, the City Council appoints the City Attorney, Presiding Judge, and Court Administrator. City of Aurora Organizational Chart � is Sgb=b. 1, 2W9 `�I'� �oaev' Prepared by Slavin Management Consultants for The City of Aurora, Colorado — May 2010 1 D —3 FINANCIAL ISSUES The City has an annual budget of $615 million and a five-year Capital Improvement Program budget of $710 million. The City is sales tax dependent with sales taxes comprising 54 percent of General Fund revenues. Other major General Fund revenue sources include property taxes, use taxes, franchise fees, and the state highway users tax. There are 4 self-supporting enterprise funds—Water, Wastewater, Golf, and Development Review. The City operates on a January -December fiscal year. Like most local governments, Aurora has experienced financial challenges in recent years. Sales tax collections are projected to increase by only 1.5 percent in 2010, and salary schedules for 2010 were increased by 1-3 percent. Approximately 50 employee layoffs have occurred recently largely as the result of voter disapproval of a ballot measure in November 2009 to fund libraries through a General Improvement District. The City has a rather unique voter -approved requirement to maintain staffing of at least 2 sworn Police personnel per 1,000 population. Population projections are updated annually to ensure compliance with this requirement. Aurora is one of the founding members of the Colorado Performance Measurement Consortium, a group of thirteen communities affiliated with the ICMA Center for Performance Measurement. The City makes use of performance measures to assist in monitoring its effectiveness and efficiency. Two noteworthy measures are the City's Insurance Services Office (ISO) fire insurance premiums Public Protection Classification rating of 2 and the City's bond ratings of Aal (general obligation) and Aa2 (water revenue). ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES — The following is a summary of the issues and opportunities to be managed by Aurora's next City Manager. • Financial Management—financial projections indicate that the City will likely be under continued financial pressure for several years. Like many other local governments, the City has a "structural budget deficit." The next City Manager is expected to lead a strategic review of alternatives to improve the City's financial condition including reorganization, productivity improvements, compensation policies, increasing the tax base through economic development, and new revenue opportunities. • Visioning—the City Manager needs to be an active participant in visioning with all stakeholders to help Aurora implement its vision statement. The City AURORA'S VISION STATEMENT has many opportunities to shape its future Aurora will be the best city in Colorado and an innovative leader in the destiny such as attracting quality region by: employment and housing development on • Creating great neighborhoods infill and outlying land, annexation, and.Emphasizing Public safety and quality services taking advantage of future light rail•Encouraging ahigh quality and high wage economic environment4 stations to encourage transit -oriented • Supporting recreational, cultural, educational and community development. City officials correlate the activitiesfor our citizens successful implementation of its vision with enhancing its financial condition. • Water Resources—in Aurora as in most western cities, the acquisition of sufficient water rights and careful management of water resources are essential to ensuring an adequate water supply for current and future residents and businesses. The $750 million Prairie Waters project which has been under construction for the last five years will be completed by the end of 2010. This water reclamation project will increase Aurora's water supply by 20 percent. The City Manager will oversee the City's efforts to augment its water resource portfolio, consider additional water reclamation projects, and encourage water conservation. • Employee Relations—the City has made a major commitment in recent years to foster a climate of positive, team - oriented employee relations. The Partnership of Aurora City Employees (PACE) is comprised of employee representatives from all departments and all levels of the organization that meets monthly with the City Manager to discuss current issues impacting the organization. In addition, the Labor -Management Committee consisting of city management and Police and Fire union representatives meets monthly to discuss non -bargaining matters. Finally, the City routinely recognizes exemplary employee contributions to the organization and community. City employees truly appreciate City management's efforts to initiate two-way communication. These efforts have improved employee loyalty and morale which is extremely valuable especially during these tough economic times. The next City Manager needs to continue this commitment to employee relations.
