You'll probably find that the contract with CPS specified delivery of a certain number of qualified candidates.

| The City of Surprise has received a lot of applicants for the City Managers position, because we paid CPS to fill the position it would nice to know how many of the applicants actually came from CPS and as reported before do they report to the Mayors assistant or to the Human Research Director?

| The Surprise council deserves our full support as they seek the best candidate to become city manager. Yes, it will be what some may view as expensive. However, we have all seen the negative impact reduced revenue has created. The new manager will be confronted with the same-or growing- needs with fewer dollar resources. Same with the council. The council has illustrated a willingness to spend a lot of time on the job and operate in an open forum except on matters requiring executive sessions.

| Apparently they have found a City Manager because the position is not listed on the current openings on the cities web site.

There was some debate last night from Council members if they should tell prospective candidates the package deal that will be offered for the City Managers position.
The pay and benefits for our previous manager and now our Interim City Manager is well known, so it’s no secret that the City of Surprise for its size over pays staff in relation to other cities.

Council Meeting this Thur. In item 15
Background:
The Mayor and Council have previously established a process and timeline for the selection of a new City Manager. Once the Mayor and Council have determinied the finalists for the position from among qualified applicants, they wish to receive input from the community by forming an ad hoc committee of community representatives to interview each finalist and provide them with feedback relative to each candidate. This process will run parallel with the interviews to be conducted by the Mayor and Council.
I haven’t been able to find out what the timeline is, would anyone here know?

Since the City of Surprise does not have a charter, they work under the Arizona Statutes.
Basically they can do what ever they want, such as changing the procedure guidelines set by the previous Council between the working relationship with Council and the City Manager. The problem that they have is, if they take the power away from the City Manager that he or she now has, which under state statutes they should, the ICMA will not give us what they call a professional manager.

Since we have a Mayor and City Council form of government, I assuming the issue is whether they're "strong". I wouldn't expect the Council to manage the city staff directly. They work through the City Manager and, only the City Manager, who serves at the pleasure of the Council. What am I missing?

If it is so hard to determine how to hire a competent City Manager and Community Development Director, and because we have a new Mayor and Council which most of us support 100%, they should think about having a Strong City Mayor or Council form of government.
Without having the Strong City Mayor form of government neither the Mayor or Council can micro manage staff.

You are absolutly right, this morning it's working the way it had but yesterday when you hit Open to the Public and City Employees you got no job openings. On my web site you can see what you got. They changed it Again thank you.

| I guess I still don't understand. To look to see what jobs are available. Hit careers on the city website, then then hit open to Public and City employees and there are the jobs. It is pretty easy.

| Bob, why are you asking the question (there has to be an underlining question or else you would not ask)? Your computer works well enough to be on this site, I don't understand why your computer does not allow you to look at what jobs are available at the City of Surprise. I had no problem looking at them. Last edited on Tue Apr 1st, 2008 02:01 pm by cindisue_g

I guess if the search for a new city manager isn't concluded at the end of the 6-month term of the acting city manager; extending her employment makes some sense.

Exactly my point RV, you of all people should know how difficult it is to be newly elected on council and the challenges you face. Why would you of all people try to make it even more difficult, don't you want to see them succeed? I do, it's in our best interest to help them succeed, not tear them down. I think that is why I expect better of you because you should know better, therefore you should do better.

Mr V, I respectfully submit that it is you who is "ridicules". You are no longer in the decision making process, you were recalled, and you lost the bid for Mayor, perhaps it is time that you butt out and let the elected officials do their job.
You may have wanted to do it your way, but these folks are doing it their way. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it just because it doesn't conform to how you would do it. If you really are a responsible and concerned past councilmember, then try to act like one. You have been on here nitpicking every single item this new council has done and you continue to find fault. "They don't email me back, they don't return my calls", blah, blah, blah. If you were so great, why aren't you still in office? Why try to undermine everything they do? Would you have appreciated that when you first came into office, I don't think so. Then show them the same respect you would have appreciated.

It's unbelievable that our Mayor and City Council can't take the bull by the horns and hire a Community Development Director and City Manager.
This whole hiring process and exorbitant amount of the pay that is set by staff is ridicules.
Mayor Lyn Truitt by Arizona Statutes is the CEO of the City I wonder if he approves of what is taking place, if ICMA can't care of our needs we should look else where.

In reference to the article today about foreclosures and blight.
No homes are truly abandoned, somebody owns them, in foreclosures it is generally lending or banking institutions.
Under the City of Surprise's Blight Code the City Manager is responsible to see that blight does not occur.

That figure was $2200 by the way. NOW THIS SHOULD CLEAR THE AIR:
Why don't all of you Az Republic haters ASK TONY what Johnson said?
He quoted Johnson or did he lie? I think the AZ Republic is often over the
leftside of the table, but, I don't think an established reporter like Tony would
place "" marks on something the party didn't say. OR , go to the next council meeting and ask Johnson. He would of course always tell the truth!
I'm betting on Tony and those that can think outside of the box will come up with
the same notion The Republics Attorney came up with. Did you all forget to slay the attorney? He's the source of the opinion. (about the backroom city manager deal)
David Bodney, an attorney representing The Arizona Republic.
"When City Council considers four finalists in executive session and then emerges with only one recommended candidate for hiring purposes at a public session, it has plainly made a decision in executive session in violation of the Open Meeting Law," Bodney said. "This is not to say that the council cannot select a first choice or rank its choices or otherwise instruct its lawyers about the hiring. But it cannot - with respect to hiring an interim city manager - it cannot make the decision in executive session."
The link to refresh your memory.

And yes ms....carla, we all saw your article in the paper about how you don't think this council should take the pay raise, blah, blah, blah. Again, get over it. Newspaper article? What drugs have you been taking? Maybe you would like to enlighten us as to what newspaper article you are talking about.

Barney/Hasbeenstack/Doc, you loved the Az Republic in your last few posts, in fact you have quoted them over and over and over. So, what is the deal? Do they lie or do they tell the truth? You can't have it both ways.
Perhaps we should ask Councilman Johnson exactly what he was referring to, I don't think it had anything to do with the council.

razenkn,
It was a "backroom Deal" the city manager made the deal on the salary, on the auto stipend of 400 and the housing for up to 2200 (PLUS), the 180K that Rumpeltes was getting. Privately ASK any council member. How do I know?
Yup, its a fact!
Did Truitt instruct Rumpeltes to make the deal? I doubt it. But, only they know.
http://www.azcentral.com/community/westvalley/articles/0301gl-nwvinterim0301cover.html
"Councilman Joe Johnson said that while he supported the hiring, he was "disappointed in the process of the offer." Johnson said Thursday night that the council was not consulted about details of benefits in the contract."
Who else but Rumpeltes? It wasn't HR, they had nothing to do with the screening or offers to any of the canadates. Ask Hr and see if you get a straight answer.

I'm the one asking you the questions since YOU brought them up. If all you can come up with is that Mayor Truitt is hiring friends, which you have absolutely no proof of, and even if they were friends it wouldn't matter, but they're not, the salary is commensurate with the positions, and was determined by the City Manager. Guess that throws your only case out the window now doesn't it? This council is doing a great job and will continue to do so.
Is all of this hatred because of the election? Get over it. If not for your health, then for the good of the City. You are making us look really bad.

I think you need to stop trying to justify everything this council does, it makes you look in cahoots with them and by the way Raz, how much are you being paid by Truitt to man the blog and make him look good?
From the looks of the salaries they are handing out, it must be quite a nice sum.
Oh mscarla you found me out, they are paying me so much money that I have to call in Brinks to haul it to the bank.  See, you guys keep saying I am going back to the old council time and time again, when it is Doc's little band who continue to do so. What are you talking about here, you refer to the old council over and over...you have what is called selective memory.
But since you brought them up, it raises some good questions. Did this council spend any money on personal retirement funds? Did they use the City credit card for personal use? Did they vote themselves a nice auto stipend they couldn't back up with documentation? If the new council members were so outraged by these actions of the old council, why didn't any of them refuse to take these benefits? I have NOT seen one council member refuse to take any of the benefits you mention here... No, they didn't do any of those self-serving items. All they have done is to bring on some new knowledgeable personnel to keep things running and take us in a new direction. Truitt wasn't even if office yet when he started handing out high paying jobs to his friends and he continues to do it today...it is no secret that he wants as many of his friends in there as possible so he can reign supreme. Whoa, that is pretty bad, council's aren't supposed to care about the best interest of the City, they are supposed to be lining their own pockets, what's wrong with these guys??

Looks like you are changing your tune there Raz...and adding 2000 a month to the salary gets her a higher salary...

I think you need to stop trying to justify everything this council does, it makes you look in cahoots with them and by the way Raz, how much are you being paid by Truitt to man the blog and make him look good?
From the looks of the salaries they are handing out, it must be quite a nice sum.

Let's use some common sense here. If she has personal housing options, why on earth would she want to lease a strange place? Also, the contract said UP TO $2,000, that doesn't necessarily mean that is what will be spent. Give it a rest already.

Is there some reason she can't live in the house she owns on Olive Drive in Avondale? And, is there some problem with her living arrangements on N 87th Ln in Peoria?
You don't seem to have all the correct answers Raz...

PS - I heard Ms Ferreira lives just outside of Tucson. That would be quite a commute each day don't you think? Again, it's that fact thing that you keep missing.
"Where's your proof? Where's your proof?" You sound like a little child.
Lives just outside of Tucson, huh? Interesting. $2,000 is pretty generous. Wonder which neighborhood (in Surprise) she'll be renting in..??.. Or, will she be staying at the beautiful new Holiday Inn Express or the upscale Hampton Inn?

Are you trying to tell us that her $180,000.00 salary won't cover her living expenses?
Who are you trying to fool with your support for this waste of our tax dollars...
You are starting to sound like Truitt blogging to justify the actions of this council.

The city of Goodyear is also looking for a new city manager...interestingly they have selected 3 finalists. Not only did they post the names and a short synopsis of the 3 on their website, they released the information to several newspapers in the valley.
This is transparency in government. The leaders of Surprise could take a lesson from Goodyear.
This arrangement made by Truitt was another backroom deal, just like the Gutier hiring. The decision was made before the vote was cast. We, as this womans employers, have the right to know who the other candidates were and what thier qualifications were as well. It's apparent that Truitt has a lot of friends who were prior employees of Peoria that he is giving high paying jobs to.
Also, why are they paying this woman a housing allowance, NO other city in the valley pays that type of benefit and seeing as how she live close to Surprise and is only on a 6 month contract, I see no reason to waste our tax dollars this way.
This group is wasting our tax dollars like a group of drunken sailors.

The City Council hired CPS at their Feb. 14th meeting for $25,000 to find a City Manager, CPS post City Manager openings for other cities in Calif. but not ours, on their web page. This company does not appear to be a national firm.
We might have a interum city manager for a long time.
