<br />Ms. Solomon concurred with Mr. Pryor’s remarks and would support Bob Murray & Associates and <br />Alliance, with Avery a third choice. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz concurred with Mr. Pryor and Ms. Solomon. She said Alliance and Bob Murray & Associates <br />scored the highest in the category of police auditor experience. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark thanked staff for their work. He concurred with Mr. Pryor, Ms. Solomon and Ms. Ortiz. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman stated she could not support moving Bob Murray &Associates forward to an interview <br />because of her previous experience with the firm. She felt the firm selected should be able to penetrate many <br />different markets because there were so few police auditors and it would be necessary to identify people with <br />the requisite skills. She also did not like the fact that the individual in Bob Murray & Associates who would <br />be managing the recruitment process had a background in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). She <br />supported interviewing Alliance, Mercer and Waldron. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka said he did not want to interview Bob Murray & Associates and would support interviewing <br />Alliance, Avery, Mercer and Waldron as they all seemed to be qualified. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor strongly objected to Bob Murray & Associates. She liked Waldron because of its familiarity <br />with Oregon and would also consider Alliance, Mercer or Avery. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling felt that Bob Murray & Associates had done a good job with a previous recruitment. He pointed <br />out that the council was not hiring an individual to conduct the recruitment; it was hiring a firm. He noted <br />that Bob Murray & Associates had the highest total score with the lowest cost and Waldron had the lowest <br />total score with the highest cost according to the screening matrix. He said using Bob Murray & Associates <br />could start the recruitment process as soon as possible, with the lowest cost. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy thanked staff for providing the information to help inform the council’s decision. She noted that <br />seven councilors liked Alliance and five councilors were interested in Bob Murray & Associates. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to interview by phone the top three <br />recruitment firms on Wednesday, September 17, 2008. The firms to be interviewed <br />are: Alliance Resources Consulting, Bob Murray & Associates and Waldron and <br />Company. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark, seconded by Ms. Ortiz, moved to amend the motion by substituting <br />Mercer Group for Waldron and Company. The motion passed, 7:1; Ms. Taylor <br />voting no. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to delete Bob Murray & Associates <br />from the interview process. The motion failed, 6:2; Ms. Bettman and Ms. Taylor <br />voting yes. <br /> <br />The main motion as amended passed, 7:1; Mr. Poling voting no. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes asked councilors to suggest issues to be addressed in the interview process so staff could draft a <br />set of questions for the interview process. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council September 10, 2008 Page 2 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
