ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Stanbridge, SECONDED BY Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved Change Order No. 2 with Barth Construction, Inc. for a 22 -day extension resulting in a new contract time of 227 days, as recommended in the memorandum. COPY OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 IS ON FILE IN THE Of FICE OF THE CI ERK TO THE BOARD 7.N. Assistant County Attorney - Approval to Hire The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 2, 2001: MEMORANDUM To: Board of County Commissioners From. Paul G. Bangel, County Attorney ,-1=1-1) 2 Re: Assistant County Attorney 11 Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the hiring of an assistant county attorney I for the County Attorney's Office at an annual salary range of $41,079-$64,700, authorize the County Attorney to set a starting salary depending on the successful candidate s experience and qualifications, and authorize the County Attorney, the Personnel Office, and the Office of Management and Budget to expend funds and take whatever steps are necessary to recruit such an employee. Discussion: The County Attorney's Office is presently staffed by two attorneys who are board certified by the Board of Legal Specialization and Education of the Flonda Bar in city, county and local government law. From the mid -1980's until early 2000 the Office had at least three attorneys. During part of that time there was an additional part-time fourth attomey. With the County Attorney's Office reviewing virtually all agenda items, including contracts, ordinances and resolutions, drafting documents, providing legal advice to the Board of County Commissioners and the county administration, and making court appearances, the need for a third attorney has become apparent. Consequently, I respectfully request authorization to hire an assistant county attomey. February 13, 2001 BKI11PG052 40
