RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Adopt a resolution revising the Classification and Salary Plan to include the
position of Chief Financial Officer; and,
2. Approve a contract with Mathis & Associates to secure executive recruitment
services for Chief Financial Officer.
BACKGROUND
On March 26, 2007, the City Council approved the new classification specification
for Chief Financial Officer. This position will oversee treasury, revenue, budget,
accounting, payroll, and purchasing. It will also be responsible for coordinating both
the City and Redevelopment Agency’s financial operations.
It was determined at that time that this item would be brought back for the purpose
of assigning a salary range and obtaining contract approval for executive recruitment
services for the Chief Financial Officer position.
DISCUSSION
It has become increasingly difficult to place high level finance professionals. This is
due in part to the reality that the public sector talent pool is shrinking as more baby
boomers look to retire, as well as the fact that finance professionals tend to be more

conservative and make fewer career moves. High caliber candidates will need an
incentive to leave their current city.
The person appointed to this position will have the opportunity and the challenge of
being Culver City’s first Chief Financial Officer. They will be tasked with the
responsibility of creating a finance department by unifying historically bifurcated
financial functions. Combining these important City operations will allow for more
efficient financial processes, improve communication, share resources and provide
clear responsibility for the overall financial functions of the City.
When setting compensation, there are a number of factors to consider including, but
not limited to, labor market value, organizational philosophy and intended
competitive positioning, city population, budget, number of employees and city
services that are offered. Although finance professionals must have the same basic
skill set, there are nuances in Culver City that other cities may not experience such
as being a full service city responsible for managing various complex funds,
including the Redevelopment Agency, high activity level enterprise funds and debt
financing which requires a different level of expertise and training. Culver City is
also responsible for a larger investment portfolio compared to other cities with similar
population.
Executive Recruitment Services
Staff evaluated proposals from three (3) executive recruitment search firms: Avery
and Associates, Teri Black & Co. and Mathis & Associates.
The price range and scope of service for each of the firms were comparable. After
consideration of the submitted proposals and informal discussions with each of the
firms, it was determined that Mathis & Associates could provide the level of service
and expertise sought. They have a reputation for conducting quick, quality executive
searches. In addition, they provide a management assessment of candidates to
determine organizational “fit.” They have recently participated in the selection of
Chief Financial Officers in the cities of Azusa, Beverly Hills and Indio.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
A salary survey of the City’s 13 labor market cities yielded nine comparable positions
with an average annual salary of $148,487.
For Council consideration, staff is presenting three (3) options in assigning the
appropriate salary range for the Chief Financial Officer classification:
City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
Option 1: Salary range 675, $149,550 - $182,541 annually. This salary would
provide the necessary incentive to ensure that an experienced finance professional
is retained. During preliminary discussions with executive recruiters it was shared
that this is the approximate salary range that would be required in order to entice an
established Finance Director to make the move to Culver City. In addition, the Civil
Service Commission also felt that this would be an appropriate salary range in order
to obtain the best qualified candidate. This salary range would also keep Culver City
competitive with our neighboring city, Santa Monica.
Option 2: Salary range 655, $135,364 - $165,225 annually. This salary range is
consistent with our internal compensation structure and also the data provided in our
labor market study.
Option 3: Salary range 647, $130,075 - $158,768 annually. This salary range was
discussed initially with the Civil Service Commission. There was concern on
whether it would attract the high quality candidate sought by Culver City. Should
Council approve this salary range, it may result in some recruitment and placement
challenges.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending that Council consider option 2. This salary range is
competitive in the marketplace and consistent with the salaries assigned to
Executive Management. Coupled with Culver City’s generous benefit package, this
salary range should provide a qualified applicant pool.
Upon City Council approval, funds for this position will be included in the proposed
budget for fiscal year 2007/2008.
The total cost for executive recruitment services with Mathis & Associates is an
amount not to exceed $25,150. This includes $18,950 for recruiting costs/consulting
fees and expenses not to exceed $6,200. Funding is available in City Manager’s
Office due to a Legal Service budget that is no longer needed; therefore, $25,150
can be transferred to the Personnel department budget to cover this expenditure for
the recruitment expense.

FROM: Dr. Bill Mathis
Management Psychologist
RE: Proposal for Chief Financial Officer Recruitment
Thank you for the opportunity to offer my Proposal for Executive Search for a Chief
Financial Officer, particularly because it's a new role as well as a new position.
As a Management Psychologist, my firm will offer your search some unusual, however
important, features:
a) Quick and targeted recruitment within a limited time frame (30-45 days) if
required, without sacrificing quality (see references). We excel in meeting
deadlines and challenges;
b) Management assessment of finalists unparalleled by most recruiters;
c) Intensive work and political analysis of the environment for "mutual fit" and
harmony resulting in a well run City;
d) Extensive work with highly motivated elected officials and ability to partner
with legal Council for the better performance of the City;
I. of 8
www.MathisAssociates.eomCulver City Chief Financial Officer Recruitment
e) Ability to work with an agency to follow through with the City Manager to
facilitate success with challenges, personnel issues, and developing goals and
objectives with a Council;
Search Process and Activities
1) Dr. Mathis would conduct this search personally and be available to City
Manager to achieve quick and successful implementation of the search process.
Our support staff will provide logistics and communications to all parties.
2) If chosen to facilitate, Dr. Mathis would immediately schedule contacts with
individual Council Members to begin development of a profile for 'best fit'
management style and qualifications needed to lead the City. Developing an
attractive profile and position will be critical to recruiting success. We would
consult with constituents and staff for input, and then develop advertisements
quickly for Council and City Manager approval.
3) After developing the profile, Dr. Mathis would 'target' potential candidates with
specific invitations and personal interviews regarding this position.
4) In addition, we would enter job posting in Craigslist and three other websites.
We would utilize publications such as Jobs Available. This will target interest
areas of both general and specific professional types.
5) Set time lines with the City Manager or Committee of the Council to work
efficiently with Consultant and candidates. Upon development of desirable
timelines, we would select 7-10 finalists and assist in selection of three finalists
fitting the profile. A Council committee might help speed the process and
selection of three finalists.
6) As Consultants to Counties and Cities in your area, we're familiar with some of
your neighbors. Recent clients include Chino Basin Watermaster, City of
Lancaster, Western Municipal Water City, Cucamonga Valley Water City, City of
Riverside, City of Rancho Cucamonga, City of Colton, City of Rialto, City of
Perris, City of Santa Clarita, and private/public firms. Consulting has ranged
from executive recruitment, employee development, team building, strategic
planning, and general planning for future growth. We have participated in Chief
Financial Officer hiring recently in Indio, Azusa and Beverly Hills.

www.MathisAssociates.comCulver City Chief Financial Officer Recruitment
7) Once three finalists are selected, we would do preliminary background checks to
ensure candidates qualify and would be available to your City. We would
supply significant data to the Council and City Manager prior to any
conversation with finalists in their interviews.
8) Assist City Manager and candidates to reach agreement and "get to work" with
contracts, understanding of role, and clear 90-120 day expectations.
9) Mathis & Associates to provide final background checks of legal, business,
personal, and financial history before employment is finalized.
10) Mathis & Associates guarantees selection for one year; if selected candidate
leaves prior to one year, Mathis & Associates will come back and re-do the
selection process for the cost of expenses alone.
11) Public Options*:
a) Have City Council identify five to ten civic leaders that Consultant could
call and interview to solicit traits and fits of Chief Financial Officer.
b) Include in final assessment panel three or four diverse public citizens
representing various sectors.
*NOTE: We have to secure the confidentiality of all finalists.
12) Mathis & Associates has a local office in Rancho Cucamonga to better serve your
needs and cut down on unnecessary response time.
Cost: $18,950 Recruiting Costs/Consulting Fee, does not include expenses.
Recruitment costs for ads, travel, Federal Express charges & actual
expenses not to exceed $6,200.
Retainer: Retainer to begin work: $5,000
Terms: Due upon Receipt
