Mayor Black read the list of items for the May 28, 2019, BOC Regular Workshop Meeting and
asked if there were any additions.
Commissioner Weinstein added the John's Pass Village Kiosk and a discussion on the upcoming
review of the City Clerk and the matrix to be used for the evaluation. The City Clerk said she
would add the item and said that her review was not due until October.
Commissioner Hodges added the evaluation of the City Attorney and asked about the Finance
Director's evaluation. The City Manager said the evaluation of the Finance Director was different.
He would do the evaluation and bring a recommendation back to the Board for discussion and to
add additional comment to the performance evaluation.
Commissioner Andrews said he submitted a list of 17 items to be put on the workshop meeting
agenda and not one of them had been added. The City Manager explained that the items needed to
be communicated in a public meeting and a consensus made to add them to an agenda. The City
Attorney explained that the City Manager had prepared a memorandum stating which of the 17
items would be appropriate for a workshop and said the Commissioner could get a vote on each of
them and determine how many to put on the next workshop or the following workshop.
Commissioner Andrews said he thought that was being done, he will start his investigation and
submit them at the next workshop. The City Attorney said to investigate by looking into something
or requesting public records is different, but a formal investigation would be done by one of the
Charter Officers on behalf of the Board.
Commissioner Douthirt added a discussion on a special events task force, electric car hook-ups,
and impact fees. He stressed concern that the agenda packets were not provided to the Board at
least seven days before a meeting as indicated in the BOC Policy Handbook. He said the City
Clerk needed to make a cutoff time and not allow additional items to be added to the agenda, so
the agenda packet could go out on time. After the cutoff time, an item can only go on the agenda
if it relates to health and safety. If not, it does not go on the agenda.
City Manager Jonathan Evans added the PD ordinance and zoning for parking lots.
Commissioner Douthirt asked that the City Clerk provide the Board with the Comprehensive Plan
since they are supposed to be going by it.
Commissioner Weinstein said there are 15 items. The City Manager said if it was the pleasure of
the Board he could go through the agenda and weed out some of the things that are not time-

sensitive and make some modifications, which may result in them having a subsequent meeting
later in the month to try resolving some of the other items, because some of the them are time-
sensitive. The Board consented.
4. CONFIRMATION OF DIRECTION
There was no confirmation of direction.
