City Administrator
City of Carmel-by-the-Sea
KEY ACTIONS OF THE SEARCH PROCESS
• Project Organization – This phase provides for the development of a detailed Candidate Profile. We will meet individually with the Mayor and members of the City Council, as well as others you identify, to discuss the issues and challenges facing the City. The desired background and experience, leadership style and personality traits, skills and abilities will be discussed. We will also discuss expected parameters of the search, the search timeline, and schedule future meeting dates. Typically, we devote significant time to this phase of the recruitment in order to become fully knowledgeable of the organization and community. If desired by the council we will also meet with staff, the executive management team, Commission members, and residents. In addition, we ask for a tour of the community in order to more fully understand current and future projects as will as gain a stronger familiarity with the community.
• Recruitment – Our recruiting efforts will focus on direct and aggressive recruiting of individuals within the search parameters established during the Project Organization phase. We believe direct recruiting produces the most qualified candidates. We know how to identify the “hidden” candidates, including those passive candidates who may be resistant to considering an employment change. In addition, as attractive brochure will be prepared to market the organization and position to potential candidates. Advertisements will be placed in industry publications and websites, and our firm will assume responsibility for presenting your opportunity in an accurate and professional manner. All resumes received will be promptly acknowledged, and we will personally respond to all inquiries.
• Preliminary Interviews/Recommendation – As resumes are received, supplemental questionnaires will be sent to candidates who appear to meet the candidate profile. Following the filing deadline and a thorough review of the resumes and questionnaires received, we will conduct preliminary interviews with those individuals most closely matching the candidate profile. Preliminary reference checks will be conducted and a written recommendation of finalists will be personally presented to the Mayor and City Council. Once the City Council has selected finalists for further consideration, all candidates will be notified of their status.
• Final Interviews/Selection – During this phase, finalists will be interviewed by the City. We will provide both advice and facilitation assistance during the final interview process. Interview materials, including suggested interview questions, evaluation and ranking sheets will be provided for the City’s convenience.
• Qualification – Once the final candidate has been selected, our firm will verify, at your discretion, professional work experience, educational histories, criminal, civil, credit, motor vehicle records and second “tier” references. This comprehensive process ensures that only the most thoroughly screened candidate is hired. In addition, negotiation assistance will be provided.
• Follow-Up Meeting – The commitment we make to our clients continues after placing a successful candidate. Six months after our placement’s start date, we will schedule a follow-up meeting or call with the City Council in order to discuss the placement’s progress and the Council’s satisfaction.

Ms. Peckham began her career in the public sector in Naperville, Illinois, where she became familiar with all aspects of local government. Ms. Peckham was then recruited to join the Executive Search practice of a leading California recruitment firm. Later, she played an integral role in creating a national search business for what became the largest recruitment practice serving local government in the country. Here, she became Regional Director overseeing Northern California and a nine-state region.
In 2001, Ms. Peckham was invited to implement a public sector search practice for a Sacramento-based, private sector firm. As a result of her success in this implementation, she then chose to leave in June 2004 in order to form Peckham & McKenney in partnership with Phil McKenney.

Our Philosophy
When we chose to form our own executive search firm, we did so with the goal of providing both clients and candidates unparalleled service.
We achieve this goal by limiting the number of searches we take on at any one point in time, thereby focusing more directly on those we serve. In this way, no client or candidate should ever feel “lost in the shuffle.”
Not only do we take great care of our clients and candidates, but we are very actively involved in efforts to prepare the next generation of local government managers. Our commitment to the industry is genuine, and we look forward to many years of service.

ICMA: ‘Leaders at the Core of Better Communities’ on Selecting a Local Government Administrator
ABSTRACT: International City/County Management Association (ICMA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 1914. ICMA is the “premier local government leadership and management organization. Its mission is to create excellence in local governance by advocating and developing the professional management of local government worldwide.”
Links to Articles, namely Professional Local Government Management
and Recruitment Guidelines for Selecting a Local Government Administrator (Recruitment Guidelines Handbook), are provided. Among the most significant content, as follows: “Recruiting and selecting a local government administrator is one of the most important responsibilities of a local governing body. It requires careful planning, astute evaluation of candidates, and a clear understanding of the relationship between the local government and the administrator.” And “For the recruitment process to be successful, local government leaders must provide the following:
• Strong, consistent political leadership.
• A well organized and coordinated recruitment process.
• A plan for administering the affairs of the local government while the recruitment process is under way.
• A timetable that ensures prompt, comprehensive recruitment and guards against impulsive and premature action.”
Importantly, valuable sections include Appoint an interim administrator and Summary Checklist and Timetable. Lastly, as stated in the Conclusion, “If recruitment of a local government administrator is conducted according to the guidelines outlined in this document, the chances of developing a positive and beneficial long-term relationship among the council, the administrator, and the community are greatly enhanced.”

Today’s elected local government officials can better fulfill their legislative or policy-making roles by delegating the day-to-day management of the municipality to an appointed professional administrator.

ADDENDUM:
Ethics
At the very core of ICMA is the mission to promote an ethical culture in local government. Since the development of the ICMA Code of Ethics in 1924, the organization has built an extensive collection of advice on ethics issues, case studies and model local government documents. This knowledge base has been translated into training courses, consulting services and ethics textbooks and other educational publications designed to further the organization’s mission throughout the world.
