DEC 13 <br />0t <br />P001( PAGEJ90 <br />Board's authorization to negotiate an agreement with a starting <br />salary of $70,000. There would not be anything else other than a <br />90 -day, at our will, termination clause, so there is no real <br />contract in that sense. If possible Mr. Chandler would like to <br />continue participation in the International City Managers <br />Association Retirement Program rather than the State of Florida <br />Retirement Plan. Chairman Scurlock didn't think that would be <br />legal, and while Mr. Chandler said that it would not be a <br />stumbling block, he would like to pursue it if possible. The <br />Chairman advised that Mr. Chandler would be available to start <br />work the first or second week in January, preferably the second <br />week, and plans to take an apartment here until school is out and <br />then his familycan move into the community. <br />Chairman Scurlock advised that a criminal investigation on <br />the candidates turned up empty. He felt we have done everything <br />possible to find out about Mr. Chandler, and believed that Mr. <br />Chandler is going to be very good and worth his weight in gold. <br />Commissioner Bird was concerned about starting Chandler off <br />at the top of the salary range, and asked what we would do about <br />the salary range after the first year. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt we would have to change the <br />range, but Acting Administrator Collins believed that next year's <br />inflation rate would be applied to the salary range. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized <br />the Chairman to negotiate an employment agreement with <br />James Chandler for the position of County Administrator <br />at a starting salary of $70,000 annually. <br />45 <br />
