Motion WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther for discussion, to leave the current contract in place and grant the 4% increase in lieu of the benefits package. The Board discussed at length the renewal of the employment contract for the Executive Aide to the Board, Kimberly Massung, and whether to grant the request as stated in the memorandum of June 5, 2006. Frank Coffey , 1200 Admirals Walk, noted that according to articles in the Press Journal, all Commissioners had not handed in their evaluation as required. Therefore, he recommended that the Board refrain from a decision until all Commissioners have handed in their evaluations. He felt there was a need to look at the job description for this employee. It was over six years old and needed to be updated to reflect current duties and responsibilities based on the fact that this position has a boss change every year. Mr. Joseph Paladin, 6540 Tropic Way, spoke in support of Ms. Massung, lauding the outstanding job she does and her “always” helpfulness. rd Beth Casano , 1610 3 Court, spoke in favor of Ms. Massung, praising her efficiency and good nature. She felt recognition should be given especially to someone who has gone above and beyond the call of duty. The Commissioners all agreed that Ms. Massung is extremely valuable, pointing out her efficient, effective, excellent and productive qualities. However, there was dissention on whether to grant the benefits package or the 4% salary increase. More discussion ensued regarding the need for individual Aides for each Commissioner; whether or not to continue with a contracted position, and salary comparison for Executive Aides. Commissioner Davis did not want to change the language of the current contract. Discussion on the Motion ensued. Commissioner Lowther withdrew his SECOND to the Motion. Motion DIED. June 20, 2006 32
