r � � <br />Discussion ensued as to the merits of employing a <br />search firm, and Commissioner Lyons stated he had no problem <br />with this, but emphasized that he would like someone who has <br />had Florida experience and he wished to be sure what the <br />applicant's environmental stance is. <br />Commissioner Wodtke stated that the only thing he would <br />like to use such a firm for would be to help generate <br />qualified applicants. He personally felt all five <br />Commissioners must have a lot of contact with whomever we <br />hire and understand his views. <br />Chairman Scurlock commented that in the process he has <br />been involved with in the past,.the firm meets individually <br />with the Commissioners to determine the qualifications <br />desired; then they do£the initial screening required to come <br />up with whatever number of applicants the Board wishes to <br />interview. He felt the main reason for going to a .search <br />firm was because of the present burden on our personnel and <br />noted the goal is to have a fair, open and objective <br />decision made by all five Commissioners. <br />Dr. Hardin agreed that the decision must be made here: <br />He noted the reason they selected 11 firms was to give the <br />Commission an oppprtunity to make a selection, and pointed <br />out that we could select one firm to search or possibly two <br />or three. <br />Commissioner Bird did not have any problem with <br />checking out fee schedules, etc., but stated if the fee <br />should turn out to be a considerable amount, he would not be <br />in favor of using a search firm. <br />Commissioner Wodtke commented that travel expenses of <br />the applicant, etc., generally are in addition to the fee, <br />and it was noted that all this is what will be determined. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that he would appreciate these <br />firms being directed not to contact the Commissioners <br />personally. <br />MAR 17 1992 112 BOOK .49' PA;E <br />� J <br />
