Bird was not sure time will take care of that, and was not sure <br />any change in his leadership style and ability can repair the <br />apparent damage that seems to exist in that relationship between <br />him and the Commission and staff. <br />Commissioner Bird advised that he would vote for the Motion <br />on termination with 90 days' notice with the understanding that <br />we have a lot of projects going right now that the Administrator <br />is very much involved in, and he would like to see the next 90 <br />days used very productively on his part on behalf of the county, <br />and hopefully in that 90 days we find a replacement administrator <br />and have a very smooth transition between Charlie (Mr. Balczun) <br />leaving and a new administrator coming on board and that it be a <br />very inexpensive transition to the taxpayers of this county. <br />Commissioner Eggert wished to make one statement. She noted <br />that there has been a lot recently in the newspapers about <br />problems, but she does have a clear conscience about talking with <br />Mr. Balczun about problems that she felt have been going on a <br />good year, and she pointed out problems, some of which have been <br />resolved and some which she felt are more critical in the larger <br />picture have not been resolved. She believed that other <br />Commissioners have done that, too. She personally has had a <br />great deal of conversation with him on specific things through a <br />number of months - through a good year anyway. <br />Commissioner Wheeler stated that he can say the exact same <br />thing. Through the past year specifically, there were some of <br />his projects, and through getting more familiar with the county <br />as a new Commissioner, he has had numerous conversations with Mr. <br />Balczun about his likes and dislikes and reactions, etc. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed when you look back to that April <br />meeting, there was a very clear indication at that time - the <br />purpose of going to 90 days as opposed to continuing on a long <br />term basis - that there were significant problems, and we have <br />had that time since then to take a look at the way we are <br />operating. The Chairman frankly felt a part of the problem is <br />just the way Florida counties operate, Florida law, and the <br />55 <br />U Q 9" 1988 <br />
