Conway <br />[Clerk Note: This Item was heard following Item I LA.] <br />Dr. Conway appeared on behalf of the South Beach Property Owner's <br />Association (SBPOA) to provide the Board with some due diligence assistance in <br />hiring the next County attorney, based on the collective experience of its <br />members. Before starting his presentation, Dr. Conway received clarification on a <br />detail regarding the County's updated organization chart. <br />Using a slide presentation, Dr. Conway analyzed the County Attorney's proposed <br />salary, and listed the amount of money the County spent on outside legal services <br />since 2013. The purpose of the analysis was to provide context for a candidate <br />the SBPOA recommended; the candidate's redacted resume was displayed. Dr. <br />Conway explained the SBPOA felt the path to finding the best candidates was to <br />actively recruit existing County Attorneys rather than wait for applications. He <br />offered to share the name of their proposed candidate, and requested subsequent <br />Board presentations to share two other recommended candidates. <br />Chairman Adams suggested the candidates utilize the County's hiring process, <br />rather than a public speaking agenda item, to gain the Board's consideration. Dr. <br />Conway chose to end his presentation noting the Board and the SBPOA had <br />fundamental differences in their approach to hiring the next County Attorney. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />C.
