H. Proposed Work Plan (Continued) <br />Task Ten: Notification, Contract Negotiations and Warranty <br />If requested, we will assist in the employment agreement negotiations. Generally, a member of the <br />elected body and the attorney conduct the actual negotiations while we provide advice and <br />assistance concerning the compensation package and contract. We can also take the lead role in <br />the negotiations if desired. We have a standard contract you are welcome to use with the selected <br />candidate. Your attorney, of course, will prepare the final contract. Since the basic parameters will <br />have been discussed with the candidates and the candidates have been thoroughly vetted, we expect <br />prompt agreement. <br />Task Eleven: Continuing Assistance <br />Our work is not done when the contract is executed. We will stay in touch with you and your new <br />County Administrator. Our goal is to be there to assist in resolving any issues that arise before they <br />become intractable. We simply feel it is part of our job to assure a successful relationship. <br />Communications: We will provide weekly reports about the status of the search, in writing or by <br />phone, depending upon your preference. At significant milestones we will make the reports in <br />person. We are also available at any time, day or night, to address any questions you have along <br />the way. To do so, we will provide you with our cellphone numbers and you should feel <br />comfortable contacting us whenever you have a question whether it is directly related to the search <br />or, for that matter, anything else related to local government. We are, in addition to being <br />exceptional recruiters, students of local government, and can often provide insights and names of <br />parties who have dealt a wide variety of issues, often with innovative solutions. We want to be <br />responsive and to assist in any way we can. <br />The County's Obligations <br />The County will be responsible for providing the facilities for the interview process, coordinating <br />lodging for candidates from outside the area, and making arrangements for the reception. The <br />County will also be responsible for reimbursing the candidates (and spouses, if invited) for all <br />expenses associated with their travel, meals, and incidentals for the interview process. <br />-12- <br />
