MEMORANDUM
Mayor and City Council
Richard A. Ross, City Manager
December 9, 1996
City Manager Search - Resume Screening
Attached is a draft resume scoring plan for your consideration.
These are only ideas meant to assist you in the development of
your own thoughts. Modify them to fit what you consider
important.
When finalized, the goal will be for this device to screen in
those applicants whose resumes would be predictive of a
probability of success. It does not take the place of good
background investigation and interview.
Discussion of Scoring Plan
Sections I, II. The goal of the applicant should be to get the
job, and thus they will put their best effort forward. The
presumption is that the resume is the best work you will receive.
If your impression is negative, the applicant should be rejected.
Sections III, IV, V. These sections are the applicant presenting
their philosophy and who they are. It is not a question of right
or wrong answers. Simply, if you have basic disagreements on
these issues, you do not want to hire this person. if your
impressions are negative in any of these categories, reject the
applicant.
Section VI. This section evaluates probability of success based
on past experience. Since ultimately the job is the test, you
have to evaluate past experience as a predictor of future
success.
A manager without municipal experience could be competitive in
this section, but only if they had experience with community
groups/organizations, and Alaska legislative and
intergovernmental agency exposure. Section V (E, F, G) were put
in as a result of input received. You may want to consider the
Mayor and City Council
October 29, 1996
Page 2
weight they are given. You may also want to consider whether (E
especially) should be taken out altogether and used as a tie
breaker after you have screened for the type of manager you are
looking for.
Section VI, A-D are rated the heaviest, in that lack of
experience should receive a negative rating. These sections
represent an assessment of ability to perform the daily nuts and
bolts of the job.
Section VI represents 66% of all possible points available.
Depending on the number of candidates left after this phase, you
can decide on the background investigation processes you want to
employ. Once finalists are selected, more in depth processes
should be used.
I have received some Council input on the management style you
want in your next manager. This includes management of city
operations, relationships with citizen and citizen groups, and
interaction with Council. These traits are best determined by
using both background investigation and interview.

RE: City Manager Search
Attached are suggestions for how to approach and conduct preliminary background
and candidate interviews. Review these, but remember they are only suggestions.
It is important that you are comfortable with whatever approach is developed, as you
will be the ones asking the questions and evaluating the responses.
The supplementals to the resumes are due by January 301h. Based on that, the
following process is proposed:
Activi
Completion Date
1. Council screening of candidate's resumes February 15
2. Preliminary background interviews
3. Further refinement of candidate list and selection of
candidates to be interviewed
4. Interview of finalist candidates(s)
5. On -site investigation if appropriate
6. Offer of employment.

January 22, 1997 Memorandum 2
At your February Work Session, when you discuss results of resume screening, you
can decide if the above are the processes you want to follow, how you want to
conduct them, and establish a calendar. The number of resumes that pass your
screening process will have an effect on these decisions.

RE City Manager Search - Preliminary Background Interview
What follows are suggestions for your consideration on conducting a preliminary
background interview. This would be conducted prior to interview of the candidate
What you learn from the background will assist you in actual question development
for the candidate interview. While you have not determined how you want to
conduct the background investigation, I would suggest that prior to the actual job
offer, but after preliminary background and interview, an on -site approach may be
apriate. This will depend on the applicant and your knowledge of them.
The majority of your preliminary background interviews will be accomplished by
telephone. They will also be conducted with people you most likely do not know. In
general, it is important to progress from easily answered, non -threatening questions
to those that are more difficult. A sample format would be as follows; but realize that
the an, received also will generate questions.
1. Introduction of caller and purpose.
2.
is a candidate for City Manager.
3. a) You were listed as reference.

RE: City Manager Search - Candidate Interview
What follows are sample questions for an interview. There are no doubt issues that
are not important to you in some of these questions. On the other hand, there are
no doubt issues not covered that are important to you. Your preliminary background
investiaation of the candidate will also result in more questions that you will want to
ask.
The main point is to have a candidate describe or discuss a circumstance in their
past and how they handled it. By structuring the question to address your issue in
this manner, you accomplish the following:
1. You are less likely to get a text book answer.
2. Based on a description of past behavior, you can make your own
assessment of future performance.
3. You can make your own assessment of the candidates management
style.
This method of questioning can be uncomfortable because of the extended silence
period as the candidate is thinking into their past and recalling events. The key is to
live with the silence and let them break it when they begin to answer.

January 17, 1997 Memorandum

Sample Candidate Interview Questions
After general introductory questions, these more probing style questions would be
asked. Again, the questions would have to be constructed to fit the candidates
experience and background. These are only samples.
Discuss a situation in which the Council proposed a policy which you considered
fiscally unsound and how you dealt with it.
Describe a circumstance where Council was not satisfied over a matter on which
they felt they were not informed and your response to their concern..
Discuss a situation where you believe there was Council interference with the
manager and your reaction to it.
Describe how you would go about assisting Council in making the best use of their
time.
Describe a situation in which a Council, in a public setting, was going against what
you would advise and how you handled it.
During budget preparation you believe the finance director has made revenue
projections that are too low. You have determined to use higher figures. How would
you handle this?
Discuss a situation where community members, or an organization, were in
disagreement with a policy of Council and how you handled it.
Describe a situation as a manager that resulted in high stress for you and how you
dealt with it.
Discuss specific steps you have taken in the past to reduce employee turnover and
increase job satisfaction.
You have had to implement a policy with which you knew your subordinate
supervisors were not in agreement. Discuss the policy and how you implemented it.
A disgruntled employee can cause serious problems over time. How have you dealt
with this situation?
Describe a situation involving an employee who did not meet your performance
expectations and how you handled it.
