J U L 23 1991 <br />If the Board chose to tie that same right" to the County <br />Administrator, that would put them in the same contract. <br />Chairman Bird and Commissioner Wheeler agreed with Mr. <br />Vitunac Is proposal. Chairman Bird felt it would be better to leave <br />paragraph one in the contract if the intent is to hold down the <br />salary of this position. <br />Attorney Vitunac left it up to the Board. He asked to change <br />the "County employee" to "County department head." He wished his <br />cost -of -living geared to the department heads, not the employees <br />and not the Administrator. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the present salary and department <br />heads and professionalism with Commissioner Eggert stressing that <br />she is not thinking about the person involved but rather the job. <br />Commissioner Wheeler commented that he would not be opposed to <br />Jim Chandler and Liz Forlani being under the same proposal as this <br />because it is fair that they should be treated as County employees. <br />They work directly for the Board but they are still employees of <br />the County. <br />Commissioner Eggert did not agree with that. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, Commissioners Eggert and <br />Scurlock voting in opposition, the Board by a 3 to 2 <br />vote, amended the employment contract between Indian <br />River County, Florida and Charles P. Vitunac, <br />leaving in paragraph one but changing $85,000 to <br />$82,000 and agreeing to adjust this annually by the <br />cost -of -living percentage given to County department <br />heads. <br />40 <br />s <br />
