Our staff includes Ms. Diana Haussmann, Ms. Teresa Heple, Ms. Tif- fany Taylor, and Ms. Diana Lee (based in Dallas). Approach There's an entire team behind every recruitment. The successful search process relies heavily on person-to-person contact to identify outstanding potential candidates and, in the evaluation phase, to gain a complete understanding of the background,experience, and management style of the top candidates. The executive recruitment techniques used by Ralph Andersen &Associates have been developed and used successfully with hundreds of.clients for more than 35 years. Summary Work Plan We feel that the key elements of the search process, which can be tailored to fit the specific needs of the District, should include: Mr. Tim Taylor, Board President and Members of the Board of Directors Truckee Donner Public Utility District Page 9 • Developing a comprehensive position profile based upon information obtained in meet- ings with the Board of Directors and key District staff. • Review current compensation and recommend changes based upon market and competi- tive conditions. • A marketing strategy that uses selected advertising to supplement the extensive candidate identification process, uses the Internet, and uses professional contacts within California. Candidates outside of California with prior experience in-state may also be identified. • A screening process that narrows the field of candidates to those that most closely match the needs of the District and is based on extensive reference checks and preliminary in- terviews with the top eight(8) to ten (10)candidates. • Delivering a product in the form of a search report that recommends the top group of candidates and provides the decision-makers with detailed information about their back- grounds and experience. • Assistance during the interview and the selection process and in the negotiation of a compensation package. A more detailed work plan for this recruitment follows. Project Timing If retained, Ralph Andersen & Associates would complete the search within 75 — 90 days (or less) from the execution of the agreement between the Truckee Donner Public Utility District and Ralph. Andersen & Associates. Negotiation with the top candidate will take an additional. week or two after finalist interviews. Detailed Work Plan Task 1 — Review Project Management Approach Ms. Heather Renschler will be the Project Director on this search assignment. Ms. Renschler will have the assistance of Mr. Michael Lawson and Mr. Mike Hall, Senior Consultant. Additionally, Mr. Hall, a former police chief and also a licensed private investigator will be involved in con- ducting the detailed backgrounds and verifications on the selected candidate. The Project Director will meet with the Board of Directors and others as appropriate to discuss the project management for the search. The discussion will include a review of the work plan, confirmation of timing.and communication methods. Mr. Tiny Taylor, Board President and Members of the Board of Directors Truckee Donner Public Utility District Page 10 Task 2 —Develop Position Profile The position profile for the General Manager is the guide for the entire search process. The de- velopment of the profile includes the collection of technical information and recruitment criteria. Technical information The Search Team will meet with the Board of Directors or other staff as may be neces- sary. The purpose of these meetings is to gain an understanding of the experience and professional background requirements desired in the General Manager. These meetings will also help the search consultant gain an understanding of the work environment and the issues facing the Truckee Donner Public Utility District. Recruitment Criteria The recruitment criteria are those personal and professional characteristics and experi- ences desired in the General Manager. The criteria should reflect the goals and priorities of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District. The search consultant will meet with key staff in the District, and others as appropriate, to facilitate the identification and articula- tion of that criteria. Subsequent to the development and adoption of the candidate profile, the technical in- formation and recruitment criteria will be documented in an information brochure pre- pared by the search consultant. The brochure will be reviewed by the Board of Directors in draft format, revised as appropriate, and published for use throughout the search. Task 3 —Outreach and Recruiting This task is among the most .important of the entire search. It is the focus of the activities of the search consultant and includes specific outreach and recruiting activities briefly described below. Outreach An accelerated outreach including personal contact with potential candidates and an advertising campaign will be developed It will include the placement of ads in publica- tions such as the League of California Cities, Jobs Available, Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) and other professional publications. Specific Internet sites re- lated to government will be used, including Careers In Government, as a method of ex- tending the specific outreach in a short period of time. Additionally, the advertisement and the full text of the position profile (the recruitment brochure) will be placed on Ralph Andersen & Associates' home page on the World Wide Web (Internet), which is accessed by a large number of qualified candidates. This method of outreach to potential applicants provides a confidential source that is moni- tored by many key level executives on an on-going basis. Mr. Tim Taylor, Board President and Members of the Board of Directors Truckee Donner Public Utility District i- Page 11 Candidate Identification Ralph Andersen & Associates will use their extensive contacts to focus the recruiting ef- fort. In making these contacts, the search consultant will target those individuals who meet the criteria set by the Board of Directors. Each of the candidates identified through the recruiting efforts will be sent an information brochure. Candidates will also be con- tacted directly to discuss the position and to solicit their interest in being considered. Both the outreach and recruiting activities will result in applications and resumes from in- terested candidates. As they are received, resumes will be acknowledged and candidates will be advised of the general timing of the search process. The following tasks involve the actual selection process, once all resumes have been received. Task 4— Candidate Evaluation This task will be conducted following the application closing date. It includes the following spe- cific activities: Screening All of the applications will be carefully reviewed. Those that meet the recruitment criteria and minimum qualifications will be identified and subject to a more detailed evaluation. This evaluation will include consideration of such factors as professional experience, and size and complexity of the candidate's current organization as compared to the candidate profile. Preliminary Reference Review The search consultant will conduct preliminary reference reviews for those candidates identified as the most qualified as a result of the screening process. Direct contact will be made with references to learn more about the candidates' experience, past performance, and management style. Conduct Interviews The search consultant will conduct interviews with the top group of candidates (approxi- mately eight to ten) identified through the screening and preliminary reference review processes. The interviews are extensive and designed to gain additional information about the candidates' experience, management style, and"fit" with the recruitment criteria. The screening portion of the candidate evaluation process typically reduces a field of ap- plicants to approximately eight (8) to ten (10) individuals. Those individuals will be re- viewed with the Board of Directors prior to proceeding with the individual interviews. Mr. Tim Taylor, Board President and Members of the Board of Directors Truckee Donner Public Utility District Page 12 Task 5 — Search Report After completing Task 4, the search consultant will meet with the Board of Directors to review the search report onthe eight (8) to ten (10) candidates. The report divides all of the candidates into three groups including 1) the top group of candidates recommended to be interviewed, and 2) a backup group to the first group. The search report will include candidate resumes. The re- sults of reference reviews and interviews will be provided in writing to the Board of Directors. From this meeting will come a confirmed group of finalist candidates (typically 6). Task 6--Selection The final selection process will vary depending upon the desires of the Board of Directors. The typical services provided by Ralph Andersen& Associates in the selection process are described briefly below. The search consultant will coordinate the selection process for the finalist group of candidates. This includes handling the logistical matters with candidates and with the District. The search consultant will prepare an interview booklet that includes the resumes, candidate re- port (with interview comments, reference checks and other relevant information about the candi- dates). In addition, the booklet will contain suggested questions and areas for discussion based upon the recruitment criteria. Copies of the interview booklet will be provided in advance of the candidate interviews. The search consultant will attend the interviews to assist the District through the selection proc- ess. This assistance will include an initial orientation, candidate introductions, and facilitation of discussion of candidates after all interviews have been completed. Additionally verifications will be made on the top candidates and will include education verifica- tions, Department of Motor Vehicle check, wants and warrants, civil and criminal litigation search and credit check. The results of these verifications will be discussed with the Board of Di- rectors at the appropriate time. The search consultant is available to provide assistance to the Board of Directors in the final se- lection as may be desired. This assistance may include providing or obtaining any additional in- formation desired to assist in making the final selection decision. Task 7--Negotiation The search consultant is available to assist the Board of Directors in negotiating a compensation package with the selected candidate. This may include recommendations on setting compensa- tion levels. f_ Mr. Tim Taylor, Board President and Members of the Board of Directors Truckee Donner Public Utility District Page 13 Task 8 — Close Out After the District has reached agreement with the individual selected for the position, the search consultant will close out the search.

Outlined below are the key steps in our recruitment process. STEP 1 DEVELOPING THE CANDIDATE PROFILE Our understanding of the Truckee Donner Public Utility Districts needs will be key to a successful search. We will work with the Board of Directors to learn as much as possible about the organization's expectations for a new General 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 Truckee Donner Public Utility District. We also want to know the Board of Directors's expectations regarding the knowledge, skills and abilities sought in the ideal candidate and will work with the District 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 Truckee Donner Public Utility District's needs, we will design an effective advertising campaign appropriate for the General Manager recruitment. We will focus on professional journals that are specifically suited to the General Manager search. We will also develop a professional recruitment brochure on the Board of Directors'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 Truckee Donner Public Utility District. STEP 3 RECRUITING CANDIDATES Ater 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. ;lggxessively marketing the General Manager position to prospective candidates will be essential to the success of the search. Truckee Donner Public Utility District Page 7 t s 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. 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 individuals who we know have insight into a candidate's abilities, but who may not be on his/her 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 jX- 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 Board of Directors 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. Even, administrative detail will receive our attention.

We propose a fixed fee of $18,000 for the work outlined above. In addition, we are reimbursed for expenses such as for advertising, travel, interviewing, sourcing, support services, background checks and other related items, as well as allocated costs such as telephone, postage and photocopying. These expenses will not exceed $6,500 (for a statewide search) and $8,500 (for a nationwide search) without written authorization from you. Please note that this amount for expenses does not include reimbursement of candidates who travel to be interviewed by you. Unless you notify us to the contrary, we will assume that you will handle these reimbursements directly. We will submit three equal monthly invoices for fees, plus an amount for expenses, due and payable upon receipt. Our first billing is due upon your authorization to proceed. Though we are committed to working with you until a placement is made, our fees and expenses are not contingent upon our success in placing a candidate with your organization. However, if the selected candidate (if recommended by us for hire, and other than an internal candidate) should be terminated within one year from the date of hire, we will redo the search for no additional professional fee. Naturally, we would expect to be reimbursed for any expenses that might be incurred. Additionally, in the event that more than one executive is hired in connection with work performed by us (i.e., for another position within your organization), a negotiated fee will be due for each additional executive hired. You may discontinue this assignment at any time by written notification. In the unlikely event that this occurs, you will be billed for all expenses incurred to the date of the cancellation, and for professional fees based upon the time elapsed from the commencement of the assignment to the date of cancellation. If a cancellation occurs within the first 30 days of the assignment, following either verbal or written authorization to proceed, one-third of the professional fee will be due. If a cancellation occurs thereafter, the fee beyond the first one-third will be prorated based upon the number of calendar days which have elapsed. If a cancellation occurs after 90 days, all professional fees will be due in full.
