Robert Preston, 425 S. Bayshore Drive, made comment about how he thought that Mr. Walter Pierce had once worked with the City Manager and that he had recommended the hiring of the City Manager, and how the City Manager was trying to get back to Riviera Beach from the beginning of his employment with the City of Madeira Beach. He then commented on how difficult it was for him to locate information on the City's website.

City Manager Job Description/Job Posting Review and Selection Discussion - Jonathan Evans, City Manager The City Manager, addressing a comment made by a speaker, corrected the record that he had never worked with the Finance Director before working at the City of Madeira Beach. The City Manager explained the recruitment process and the timeline schedule and said he would like to post the position on Friday, May 17th • He said staff was seeking direction from the Board on how to proceed and if the Board would like modifications made to the job description and the recruitment schedule or discuss any other aspects associated with the recruitment and selection process for the city manager. City Attorney Ralf Brookes informed the Board that he would not be available on June 26th and June 27 th and suggested combining the June 26th meeting with the June 25 th meeting. The City Manager explained the importance of having separate meetings. At the request of Commissioner Andrews, the City Clerk distributed a 7-page packet of information (a public record filed with the city clerk) to the Board, of which he made comment on three of the pages: a letter that he said he had emailed to the City Manager about a month ago asking for his resignation; campaign literature sent out by Rivera Beach pledging to work on bringing back City Manager Jonathan Evans; and a letter dated April 11, 2019 that he had addressed to the City Manager and the City Clerk suggesting that the City Manager ask the recently hired Public Works/Marina Director to immediately resign due to past employment reasons. He said he had given the letter to the City Manager and City Clerk and requested that they provide a copy to the each of the Commissioners, and he then commented on how the vetting process had been skipped in that matter. Commissioner Weinstein called Point of Order and said that the information presented by Commissioner Andrews was not germane to the material they were reviewing. Commissioner Andrews gave reasons why they should accept the City Manager's resignation immediately May 14, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 3 of17 and to work on getting another city manager hired so that person could put a budget together they would be working under. Commissioner Andrews motioned to accept the resignation of Mr. Evans effective immediately. Vice-Mayor Hodges suggested placing the item on a special meeting to allow more time to read the information provided to them. She had the City Manager explain the reasons why it was necessary for him to work until the end of his 60-day notice. The City Manager explained that the Riviera Beach campaign literature was put out after he had left the organization, the HR practices were followed regarding Mr. Jordan and that the matter was taken care of within 48 hours after receiving the information from Commissioner Andrews. Mayor Black said they have a motion on the table. Commissioner Douthirt commented on an email that was included in the 7-page handout from Commissioner Andrews and explained that it was an email that he had not responded to and he could not understand why the email was included in the packet. The City Attorney cautioned against terminating the City Manager with cause or without cause because it would implicate contract provisions, due process, and name clearing opportunities. The City Manager encouraged the Board to move forward with getting the job posted, so they could move forward with the recruitment process. Commissioner Douthirt suggested dividing the item into two separate meetings, one for the application and the other to discuss the 60-day time-period, if needed. If they put it off another week, that would be another week before they could hire someone. Commissioner Weinstein suggested following the schedule. Mayor Black and Commissioner Weinstein commented on the accomplishments made by the City Manager. Following discussion, Commissioner Weinstein moved to post the position and job description on May 17, 2019. The Mayor asked if the motion would include going forward with the schedule as is. Commissioner Weinstein said she saw no problem with the existing City Manager seeing them and guiding them through the process. Mayor Black opened to public comment. Marilyn Hafting, 806 Bay Point Drive, commented in favor of the City Manager staying the 60 days and urged the Commission to move forward and not have a special meeting. Robert Preston, 425 S. Bay Shore Drive, commented that the job description needed to be clear so the candidates would know the whole picture when submitting their resume and suggested a process for the candidate evaluations. May 14, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 4 of17 Following further discussion, the City Manager said he could email the revised job description to the Board based on some things that needed tweaking and then, he and City Clerk could call each of the Commissioners individually to get a perspective on it.

They are in the final stages to be in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Mayor Black opened to public comment. Robert Preston, 425 S. Bay Shore Drive, said there should be no communication devices on the dais to avoid communication between any of the Commissioners that is not public. May 14, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6 ofl7 Commissioner Douthirt said iPads will be allowed on the dais because eventually the agenda packets will come to the Commissioners on their iPad, so there would be no cutting down trees. Mr. Preston asked ifthe iPads had text messaging capability. The City Attorney said the Sunshine Law prohibited text messaging, emailing, and passing notes on the dais. It must be verbal communications. The City Manager said the text messaging function will be permanently disabled on the iPads and added that the City just signed a contract for a records retention software that will capture all text messages on City-owned devices. Mr. Preston received confirmation that the 15-minute rule for public comment stated in the policy handbook only applied to speaker presentations. He questioned the necessity of requiring comment cards when the speaker provided their name and address. The City Manager explained that City Clerk did not take verbatim minutes and the name and address of the speaker is not always captured. The comment cards are beneficial. They cannot force somebody to fill out a comment card, they can only encourage them to do so. Those that do not fill out a comment card will still have an opportunity to speak.

Compensation and Classification Study Approval - Jonathan Evans, City Manager City Manager Jonathan Evans explained that based on the survey results, it was identified that the 30 positions surveyed, the City was 12% below market. To bring the employees identified in the study, up to market, it will cost about $10,000 in this fiscal year and then in FY 2020, it will cost $40,000 to address the compression issues. The employees are the most valuable resources, so they want to move forward with addressing the inequities in the compensation structure they have now. In June, the employees identified as being below market will see an increase in their wages and the second phase will take effect at the adoption of the budget on October 1. The $40,000 projected to be received in FY 2020, May 14, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 8 of17 due to the decrease in the Workers Compensation numbers, will be a $40,000 savings to the organization. The City Manager and the Finance Director Walt Pierce responded to questions and comments from the Board. Mayor Black opened to public comment. Robert Preston, 425 S. Bay Shore Drive, commented that the consultant who presented on the item at a previous meeting, explained that a sanitation worker is a sanitation worker, no matter what city they worked for. It does not make a difference what millions a city is. Employees will go somewhere else to make more money. He said regarding workers compensation claims, the City's ordinance requires that the garbage cans be 30-gallon size. There are bigger sized garbage cans used by residents in the City and those can cause injuries to the sanitation workers. Linda Hein, 401 150th Avenue, commented that the study was well done and said the City needed to consider that turnover and training cost a lot. Better pay cause better morale. We need to let the employees know they are appreciated. Commissioner Weinstein moved to approve the staff recommendation and move $10,000 immediately to correct the issues defined in the compensation and classification study, not to exceed $10,000.
