Commissioner Bird knew there are certain areas where he could add some expertise, but there are other areas where he just would be taking up space. Administrator Chandler stressed that he was looking for some consistency in our policy, and felt that we have a well qualified staff that can go through these things and help the Commission. Since we have a number of selections coming up in the near future, he would like to see the Commission give some general guidelines rather than coming back on an individual basis. Commissioner Scurlock wanted to try a Motion that the selection process be one where the County Administrator will identify the technical staff to serve on the committee; where the Administrator, or his designee, will be the direct liaison to receive and disseminate all information coming in; and that it be an open process where all evaluation forms are retained for public record and open to the press. In addition, where there is a standing committee where there is a Commissioner who represents a particular area, that particular Commissioner will be named to sit on the selection committee. Where there are no standing committees or no area where a Commissioner has been involved, it would be up to the Administrator to decide whether a Commissioner should be seated on that Committee. - Commissioner Bird asked if that meant that he would be automatically seated on a selection committee if there was anything in the RFP (request for proposal) that related to parks and recreation, or that Commissioner Scurlock would serve on something to do with utilities or finances? Commissioner Scurlock explained that his Motion would be for the actual selection committee, not the RFP, which is a technical committee. Commissioner Bird felt that is what Administrator is recommending against, and Mr. Chandler reiterated that he just feels that we should use our well qualified staff.
