· .
The Council discussed the current searches the Mercer Group has conducted.
Mr. Holland advised that a third interview consisting of a reception offers an opportunity for the candidate
to interact with the Community and provides additional feedback for the Council when making their
selection . Additionally, a reception would allow a candidate's spouse or significant other to visit the
community . Mr Holland said that following the reception a group of opinion leaders from the community
would also be a means of providing feedback on the candidate to the Council in a workshop setting. Mr.
Holland advised that video interviews are very popular and The Mercer Group is able to conduct video
interviews which can save the Council time and money
Council member Edstrom is in favor of an informal setting rather than a formal.
Mayor Pro Tem Strother confirmed that the Mercer Group would have 10 -12 candidates ready for video
interviews with the Council in 60 days
Chuck Rohre -Waters Consulting
Mr. Rohre stated that Waters Consulting has a local and national network and emphasized that Waters
Consulting is client specific; they do not take a cookie cutter approach. Mr. Rohre explained that there
are five tasks involved in the recruitment process . The first task is developing an attractive brochure
based on Council's profile of an ideal candidate . The recruitment brochure will also include a profile of
the community and organization. Waters Consulting will be responsible for placing the advertisement in
the appropriate professional publications, local newspapers of record and websites approved by the
Council. Under the second task individuals who would be outstanding candidate for the position of City
Manager will be identified. The third task consists of screening the candidates , initial interviews and
recommendation of finalists to the client. Waters Consulting finds video interviews to be very expensive.
Background checks , reference checks and academic verifications are conducted during task four. The
final interview process will be conducted under task five . Waters Consulting has a triple guarantee,
commitment to remain with the recruitment assignment until an appointment has been made, the
executive recruitment is guaranteed for two years against voluntary resignation by or termination for

Mayor White said Council meetings are not intended to be political arenas and that any question
regarding an ethics violation would fall under the authority of the State Ethics Commission.
Jim Budarf, 547 Indian Creek Drive -Stated that the Proclamation approved by the Council has no teeth
and encouraged the candidates to rise above the dirt.
Town Council Minutes dated April 26 . 2010 4
Roger Williams, 215 Phoenix Drive -Hopes that it was not politically motivated that this item was added
to the Agenda, just because it caused concern for other candidates, it does not rise to the level of an
ethics violation.
Dean Henry, 308 Oakmont Drive -Defended the integrity of the Elected Directors from malicious and
false information.
Margi Cantrell, 1105 Sunset Drive -Formally disputed statements made by Council member Edstrom
regarding sponsorship by the Political Action Committee.

an embarrassment and should not have been approved to be added to the agenda.
Robert Radder, 1 Lee Court -The Supreme Court ruled several years ago that it is not a crime for a
politician to lie.
Council member Edstrom stated that as a Council member she has always made it clear where she
stands and she has always explained her decisions fully so that people understand her actions. Edstrom
stated that she sent an email to three friends. The email was factually correct and addressed key issues
of the Town that was of interest to those three people Everything in that email had a factual basis, there
was no misrepresentation, unfounded malicious accusations or any other content that is in contradiction
to the Fair Campaign Practices Proclamation The Council does not have any authority under this
Proclamation and that is why it is not posted for action. It is simply political posturing by somebody on
this Council, whose intent was to create a political firestorm two weeks before the election. Historically,
the Council has refrained from direct involvement, on this dais, from political activities and it is unfortunate
that it has gotten to this point. The email was not distributed by Council member Edstrom in any form of
campaign material, communication or otherwise to Trophy Club citizenry. Edstrom said that it is fact that
there are like minded candidates asking for citizens' blocked vote. Edstrom also commented on the draft
Organization Charts created by Council member Rose which were presented at the April 12, 2010 Town
Council meeting during Item 2010-208-T Consider and take appropriate action regarding the Town
Council's relationship with TCMUD No. 1 relative to the SEMO status and to the hiring of a new Town
Manager This item was tabled until the May 17, 2010 meeting.

Council and hard copies were also placed at their Council seats. The first document was a draft
Proposed Organizational Chart, the second was a Current Organizational Chart and the third was a MUD
1 / TOWN COST OF SERVICES OPERA TfONAL PLAN The third document specifically noted key
points that MUD 1 is actively involved in hiring the new Town Manager to insure the Manager's ability to
manage the cost of services agreement with MUD1 and that MUD 1 executes contract for services with
Town for all operational areas (water, waste water, fire) and retains fully responsibility.
Kathleen Wilson, 34 Meadowbrook Lane -Asked the Council to quit looking for acceptance and to take
the leadership that was handed to them.
Council member Sterling stated that he is glad he is not running for office again and that it is unfortunate
that candidates have to have such thick skin considering all of the nasty emails Sterling said that he
cannot believe that Council is even discussing this as it was simply an email. Sterling said that there is so
much talk about holding Council to a higher standard; however everyone needs to be held to the same
standard.

Mercer Group. White proposed checking the references of both firms and suggested deferring this item

Mayor White introduced the Item stating that Northwest Park is currently vacant, undeveloped land, which
will be developed into a recreational complex with buildings, ball fields and parking. Northwest Park lies
just to the north of the existing community pool property. The Town of Trophy Club plans to develop
Northwest Park in conjunction with improvements to the community pool site. In the near future, the Town
will bring forward a request to plat Northwest Park and the community pool site into one lot in order to
develop the entire site as one project. The community pool site is zoned "CR" (Commercial Recreation)
The Northwest Park site is zoned "PD-27" (Planned Development No 27). In order to develop the two
sites together as one 10Uproject, the zoning for the two sites must match -different zoning designations
are not allowed on the same lot. Therefore, this request is to rezone Northwest Park from "PD-27" to "CR"
so that the two sites will have the same zoning designation for future platting and development. Later this
year, the Parks and Recreation Department will request platting and site plan approval of Northwest Park.
