Medina, WA 98039
Dear Mr. Nelson:
This letter will serve as an agreement of services to be performed by Waldron & Company for the City
of Medina.
Needs Assessment & Evaluation
Waldron & Company acts as the client's agent in the sourcing, recruiting, pre-screening and thorough
evaluation of final candidates' background and skills for the contracted position.
We do so by:
♦ Conducting private interviews with key stakeholders as directed to detennine desired candidate
skills, cultural fit, experiences, and attributes. We will take direction from you in regard to whom
we contact.
♦ Reviewing the current position description (if any), and other archival information related to the
position and the organization.
♦ Preparing and refining the comprehensive Position Specification for the position which includes: A
general description of the organization; the basic function, authority and responsibilities of the
contracted position; the organization's immediate and long term goals, as well as the organization's
vision, mission, values and philosophy; all candidate qualification requirements including education,
experience and personal characteristics; and, the position's salary range, benefits and relocation
provision (if any).
♦ As previously discussed, we will also be working with Council on additional consulting, team
building, and planning efforts (see attached scope of work). This will be billed at S200/hour.
Each search is different and requires a unique approach. We will evaluate your organization's specific
situation and needs and work with you to develop and design a tailored recruitment strategy to find the
best candidates. The remainder of the project continues with the:
♦ Design and approval of a timetable including key event completion dates, as well as a target for
selection and appointment of the successful candidate.
♦ Drafting of a recruitment letter describing the position and inviting prospective candidate
applications.
♦ Creation of the supplemental screening tools (if any).
♦ Initial design of the semi-final and final interview processes.
Candidate Recruitment Strategy
Our approach is heavily recruitment driven. While we will gain search visibility through the strategic
use of appropriate advertising, our success in bringing the best candidate pool forward relies on our
ability to target and recruit proven candidates. Through the Firm's experience and tenure, we have
developed a deep network of contacts regionally and across the country; we bring this network to bear in
identifying and recruiting your target candidate.
Typical activities involved in recruiting candidates include:
♦ Waldron Consultants and Principals making direct recruitment calls to contacts and prospective
candidates.
♦ Utilizing Waldron's database and contact catalogue to develop a comprehensive list of prospects to
be reached through a direct mail/email campaign. Waldron & Company maintains key staff
members dedicated to research and candidate identification.
♦ Direct correspondence with target prospects.
♦ Planning, developing and placing advertisements in appropriate publications and on web sites
targeting qualified individuals.
♦ Distributing position materials and announcements, as well as requests for supplemental
information.
Candidate Screeninfz
Project consultants from Waldron & Company will conduct phone and in -person interviews with high -
potential candidates. Following the interviews, we will review the most promising candidates with you
and recommend a pool for further consideration. We will consult with you to coordinate with your
internal process requirements as we proceed toward introducing semi-finalists for the position.
Our process may include having candidates provide a brief application and responses to supplemental
questions. While not all clients have us facilitate this supplemental stage, we have found that the
completed supplemental materials can provide:
♦ A good sample of a candidate's writing ability.
♦ An early indicator of the sincerity of his/her interest.
♦ An opportunity to view a candidate's analytical, management, and communication styles.
♦ An indicator of his/her philosophy and values.
We bring a preliminary pool of the most qualified applicants to you. Using the results of our interviews,
the application, supplemental responses (if applied), resume, and any other materials submitted by
candidates, we partner with you to identify the top semi-finalists.
We then organize a work session with you to provide the opportunity to:
♦ Assess the quality of the candidate responses to supplemental questions.
♦ Gain initial familiarity with the semi-finalists.
♦ Institute a quality control checkpoint to evaluate the results of the recruitment.
♦ Control the expenses involved in the travel/interview phase of the search.
Should you choose, Waldron & Company can eliminate this work session and narrow the candidate field
to semi-finalists prior to involving you directly in the screening phase. After semi-finalists have been
identified, the project team from Waldron & Company will conduct personal interviews with the semi-
finalist group.
Final Interview Process
Following Waldron & Company's interviews with semi-finalists, we will meet with you to present our
findings. Depending on the candidate pool, we will recommend three to five candidates for your
consideration as finalists. In preparation for final interviews we will:
♦ Work closely with you to design the final interview process.
♦ Conduct in-depth, professional references at appropriate times on each of the finalists that include
supervisors, peers, and subordinates.
• Confirm all academic credentials and employment history for each finalist.
Prior to final interviews, we will deliver a written report that includes the application, candidate answers
to supplemental questions (if used), resume, preliminary reference reports, and education verifications
for each candidate. In addition, we provide our clients with:
♦ A list of suggested interview questions designed to augment questions that participants may wish to
ask.
♦ A quantitative/qualitative scoring system to evaluate and compare the merits of each candidate (if
desired).
♦ Assistance in making the needed travel arrangements (if any) for the final interviews and facility
tours.
♦ Access to the Waldron & Company project team to act as facilitators during the finalists' interviews.
Waldron will facilitate the selection of finalists and will coordinate with you to refine the candidate pool
to result in an offer being made to the most desirable candidate. While it is Waldron & Company's
policy not to negotiate the final offer with the selected candidate, the Waldron Project Team will
continue to serve as on -call advisors until a final selection is made and an employment agreement is
reached.
Fees & Expenses:
Professional Services Fee: Waldron & Company's fee for professional services is $8,500.00.
Expenses: Costs incurred for conducting the search are at the expense of the client. Waldron &
Company will pre -approve all significant expenditures with you and maintain accurate records at all
times.
Expenses: Expenses incurred are the responsibility of the client. Waldron & Company will,
when possible, pre -approve expenditures with you and maintain accurate records at all times.
There will be an initial budget of $8,500.00 for expenses with an option to re -visit the limit with
the Board if necessary. Expense items include, but are not limited to:
♦ Newspaper, trade journals, web postings, and related advertising to announce the position.
♦ Direct mail announcements and regret letters.
♦ Telephone and facsimile expenses.
♦ Delivery expenses.
♦ Printing of documents and materials.
♦ Travel and related costs for the consultants assigned to the project.
♦ Travel and related expenses for candidates during the interview process.
A two percent (2%) charge will be added to all pass -through expenses referenced above. No
additional cost add-ons are included.
Billing: Professional fees are billed in three equal installments during the course of the search. The
initial installment is billed at the time Waldron & Company is engaged. The second installment is billed
when semi-finalists are selected. The final installment is billed at the conclusion of the search.
Expenses are billed monthly. All invoices are due upon receipt by the client.
Guarantee: Waldron & Company guarantees placement of a qualified candidate. Waldron & Company
will provide a one-year search guarantee of the selected individual. If the selected individual leaves the
position for any reason other than death, physical or mental incapacity or termination initiated by the
client without cause, we will conduct a replacement search with no additional service fee. The only cost
to the client would be pass -through expenses related to the additional search. Within the guaranty
period, Waldron must be notified in writing of a termination within 30-days of its occurrence.
Cancellation: You have the right to cancel the search at any time. Your only obligation to Waldron &
Company would be the fees and expenses incurred prior to cancellation.

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
RE: EMERGENCY BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR TOTALLED POLICE
CAR 11
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an Emergency Budget Amendment to City of Medina 2008 Budget Line Item
100. 521. 50. 64. 00 titled Capital Outlay Expenditure Fund in the sum of $40,000.00.
POLICY IMPLICATION:
I firmly believe our insurance carrier WCIA will call patrol cruiser #11, a 2006 Ford
Crown Victoria, a total loss as it is no longer safe to drive. Due to the extensive damage, WCIA
will write a check to the city of Medina commensurate with blue book value, estimated to be
$15-20 thousand dollars which will then go into the general fund as revenue. The cost to fully
outfit a Medina Police cruiser is $40,000.
The city of Medina will essentially be funding the difference of approximately $20,000 for this
accident due to the depreciation of the two year old patrol car.
BACKGROUND:
On March 10, 2008 at approximately 2:25am, a Medina Officer was summoned for mutual aid
assistance in pursuit of a dangerous felony suspect vehicle which was traveling westbound on
SR — 520. The Medina Officer had just finished issuing a citation to a motorist on the Seattle
side of the bridge when he heard the request for assistance come out over radio. A stolen
Range Rover passed the location of our Medina Officer at a high rate of speed and our officer
engaged in the pursuit. As our officer approached the curved portion of the roadway towards
southbound Interstate 5, he lost control of his cruiser on the wet pavement causing it to slide
into the concrete jersey barrier. Luckily the officer did not suffer any serious injury. Although an
in-depth review is pending, the pursuit initially appears to be in accordance with our
department's pursuit policy.

Rachel —
In reviewing the packet materials I saw the old graph and charts were included in the packet for Item
CM — 1. Planning Commissioner Price provided me with an updated graph and chart packet today that
I am forwarding to you. I visited with Mark earlier after he caught the error and promised him I would
track down the corrected materials before the meeting. If you would be so kind as to print this
workbook out so each council member, CM, you, etc. has a copy for our discussion tonight that would
be really helpful. I also included the corrected memo I created back then too. A copy of that would be
great too.
Thanks. Sorry for the confusion, it was caused by me in the writing of the original memo last
December.

memo
To: Medina City Council
From: Medina Planning Commission
CC: Staff

Re: Lot Coverage for Undersized Lots
At the November 27, 2007 Planning Commission Meeting the Planning Commission was asked by the City Council and
the Mayor to discuss lot coverages for undersized lots within existing zoning districts and return a recommendation.
Outlined below is the Planning Commission's recommendation.
Larry Frazier presented to the Commission in the attached November 27, 2007 memo an overview of the council's
direction and three potential alternatives as discussion points. After a lengthy discussion of the topic and the
evaluation of the staff alternatives the Planning Commission came to a consensus on the following recommendation.
The Planning Commission recommends City Council adopt a change to the zoning code that addresses lot coverage in
the R-16 zone. The lot coverage in R-16 shall be 25% for lots 16,000 square feet and above. For all lots under 16,000
square feet, there shall be a proportionate lot coverage bonus calculated as zero at 16,000 square feet and increasing
to a maximum of 5% for lots 10,000 square feet and less.
This sliding scale provides for greater lot coverage on the smaller lots in R-16. The additional percentage increase in
lot coverage is not believed to create larger houses than conforming lots as the increased percentage on the smaller
lot still provides for a smaller footprint overall. The rationale behind the sliding scale was to preserve proportionality
in the neighborhoods and eliminate what would have been an anomaly at the break point. For example, if the bonus
threshold were set as 5% provided on lots 10,000 square feet and less, the owner of the 10,001 square foot lot would
have 5% less lot coverage, creating an anomaly in the proportionality of the neighborhood structures.
The Planning Commission disqualified as a solution the notion of the site plan review process as the Site Plan Review
Process currently on the books provides for changing the site of the structure on the lot to as minimize impacts on the
neighbors. With the small lots there isn't room to move structures so this process wouldn't create the desired
outcome. The existing ordinance would have to be significantly reconstructed to apply to these circumstances as well
since it deals mostly with the concept of situation of the structure on the lot. The Commission also disqualified as a
solution the notion of establishing a new Zoning District. This seemed to create patchwork zoning throughout the city
and lacked the proportionality.
As a result of this discussion the Planning Commission discovered an anomaly in the R-20 & R-30 zones at the 16,000
square foot lot. Currently the 16,000 square foot or smaller lot owners in R-20 and R-30 have a 25% lot coverage
allowance for a 25 foot height limit where the 16,001 and larger lot owners have a 21% lot coverage allowance for a
25 foot height limit. This would produce circumstances where two adjacent lots of very similar size would have two
dissimilar structures. The Planning Commission recommends the City Council adopt a similar change to the zoning
ordinance where there shall be a proportionate lot coverage bonus calculated at zero for lots 16,000 square feet and
smaller and 4% for lots 20,000 square feet and larger in only those circumstances where the height limit is 25 feet.

Dear current council and the one that just can't let go,
Today's story announcing Mark VVeinberg'a escape from Medina brings yet another round of shame
to those of us who remain aghast at your indiscretions, misbehavior and ill -placed priorities
involving city business. The Cy4's candor of citing "fundamental and 1rrecondfable differences with
the City Council on the dty'sfutune, the role of local government and how public employees should
be regarded, treated and valued" isthe same sentiment echoed bvShannon Gibson, Doug Shu|z,
Joseph GeUings, and Roger Crum prior to their departures. How many respected employees and
concerned citizens have to tell you the same message before you will ponder that the problem lies
Before you smugly think you're satisfied with the consequences, consider the taxpayers expense of
the lawsuits nfthe Green Store and the expense ofanother CMsearch. Cornbinethat with the
media coverage of the impending Green Store lawsuits and another aurnrner without the grocery,
and your constituents will be much more aware that the "good of boys" they elected are actually at
the root nfthe dty'eproblems and expenses!
And don't worry, I1| be happy to keep the citizens !
-Katie Phelps
Former dedicated Council member, current disgusted citizen

Our Roving Investigative Reporter, Rita Skeeter, has uncovered a intriguing story
of collusion and corruption in the muggle enclave of Medina, Washington, USA.
This concerns us as a flagrant example Of Dark Magic (against which we all must be
alert) which we now report. Rita has collaborated with Xenophilius Lovegood,
thoughtful editor of Jfie Quiff4*, and Dolores Umbridge, insightful Senior Under
Secretary to the Minister of Muggle Affairs.
Medina houses a number of white Anglo-Saxon muggles who have amassed
quantities of Gringotts treasure and who are dedicated to enjoying their seclusion,
lake frontage and spectacular mountain views, free from intrusion by the less
discriminating and less affluent.
Until five years ago, the only business in the village, other than a filling station, was
a small grocery, located in the center of the town, heavy with tradition and formerly
run by the much -loved mayor. The Store is no longer able to compete with the large
upscale markets in nearby Bellevue. Its site is being eyed by dark wizards who aim
to convert it into a real estate office, specializing in Lake Washington waterfront
and Olympic Mountain view properties, and so accumulate muggle gold.
The resident muggles object, sensing a threatened disturbance of their quiet
enjoyment, and eventual change in the character of their enclave.

The Town (hardly a City with so few residents) is riven with conflict. The present
owner of the Store is a divorced woman of Korean ancestry. She reportedly ran a
cheap motel near Tacoma which was closed for sanitary violations. She then
bought the Store, disregarded the counsel of the former proprietor, was unable to
succeed and closed it, thereby losing her right to operate it, a non -conforming
business in a residential zone.
The dark wizards, pretending to support the Owner and cleverly suggesting that
she is the victim of racial discrimination and the innocent victim of an aggressive
and bullying City government, infiltrated the City Council and the Staff, promising
her all that she might want if she would be patient and persistent. The voters threw
the rascals out, and the Owner, having invested heavily in the property, now finds
that promise withdrawn. Her rage over this betrayal is terrible.
As part of their plan, having infiltrated the City Council and the Staff, the dark
wizards had the Store classified as a historical site, but were forced by the
neighbors to accept restrictions on use which will prevent the Owner from
succeeding. She has applied for relaxation of these, and been refused by the
Council. The City has offered the Owner top dollar if she will agree to lease the
second story and part of the ground floor to it. Angry and feeling betrayed, the
Owner has refused.
Misled by dark magic, the Owner tore down the original Store, built a larger
counterpart, disguised to resemble the former one, and so fell further into debt. The
unpaid builder placed a lien on the property, later released with a bank loan. Her
funding is obscure; but rumor has it that the muggle bank, like Gringotts, is
impatient. Bankers, whether muggles or goblins, are not given to charity.
Medina is small, but its management and some of its Council dream of bigger
government. Being rich, the Town is tempted to spend and succumb to ads for toys
(unneeded surveillance cameras, unneeded equipment requiring extra maintenance
and operators) and popular emotional demands for security from unlikely threats
(Mt. Rainier erupting) and unproven needs (speed humps on all streets). More
space is wanted by the City Staff for storage and the housing of personnel.
The dark wizards, using the muggle equivalent of the Imperius Curse (also known
as greed), have bewitched the Owner of the Store, blinding her and her advisors to
the extraordinarily generous offer made to her by the Council and leading her to
demand far more than is reasonable. Dark magic prevents their understanding that
she is asking to be condemned. Likewise, a number of the people of Medina,
leading them to agitate in support of the Owner, heading down the slippery slope to
disaster.
A small number of voices are being raised in support of economy, efficiency and
the preservation of the attractiveness of the town. The dark wizards have enchanted
many others to believe that bigger is better and that Medina should be more like a
city (sidewalks "for the children", curbs and public facilities). This magic leads
them to support the Owner in her efforts to change the Store. Money is the root,

and controversy the result. The general public is uninformed. The Council is in the
middle; but subservient to its legal counsel.
Enterprising other players in the muddle are the muggle lawyers. The Owner of the
Store hired a prestigious law firm to relax the restrictions in her Permit. When they
failed, she turned to another firm, less well known, to sue the City for inflated
damages. Have her first lawyers, expert litigators but waiting to be paid and known
for their integrity, declined to give her further services. Is her new firm banking on a
contingent fee?
The Order of the Phoenix, the Death Eaters,the Ministry of Magic and the Gringott
Goblins come to mind.
The smart money (a quantity was spent on the last election) has is that the dark
wizards will win, the Owner will be condemned, the grocery will disappear and a
real estate office or similar business will eventually occupy the Store. The
neighbors are opposed but resigned. The lawyers for the Owner and the City are
fomenting discord and expecting extravagant fees. Lawyers are skillfully utilized by
the Dark Lord, and must be watched.
What our attractive, perceptive and skillful Rita Skeeter* has found in muggle
Medina may well reflect a strategy of He -Who -Must -Not -Be -Named, now again on
the rise. Wise wizards and witches take note!
*For information on Rita Skeeter see Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,
2000, pp. 303-307. Dolores Umbridge employs the eye of Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody,
distinguished Auror. See Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, 2007, p. 249.
Currently in good standing with the Ministry, both Skeeter and Umbridge are
subject to Imperius Curses imposed by Hermione Granger Weasley.
