Special Called Meeting
A Special Called Meeting of the Okaloosa County Board of County
Commissioners was called to order at 5:35 p.m. at the Water &
Sewer Administrative Building in Fort Walton Beach. Members
present were Don Amunds, Chairman; Dave Parisot, Vice Chairman;
Wayne Harris; Nathan Boyles; and Kelly Windes. Also present
were Gary Stanford, Finance Director, Clerk’s Office; John Dowd,
County Attorney; Jim Curry, County Administrator; and members of
the press.
Mr. Amunds stated the purpose of this called meeting is to
consider the proposed employment agreement with Ernest (Ernie)
Padgett for the position of County Administrator.
Mrs. Kay Godwin, Human Resources Director, stated a copy of the
agreement negotiated with Mr. Padgett has been distributed to
each commissioner for review. Upon inquiry by Mr. Dowd, Mrs.
Godwin said Mr. Padgett has signed the document.
Mr. Harris requested clarification on the vehicle allowance. He
read from the agreement:
In addition, County shall pay employee a vehicle allow-
ance in the amount of $400 per month for local travel.
The County shall provide employee with a vehicle for out
of county travel while it is used for official business,
or may reimburse employee for mileage.
He said he wants to verify the County Administrator will not
receive a $400 monthly travel allowance and the use of a county
vehicle. Mrs. Godwin confirmed that is correct, saying it is
either one or the other.
Mr. Harris made motion, seconded by Mr. Parisot, to approve the
employment agreement with Mr. Padgett and to authorize the
Chairman to execute same. 5 yeas.
(NOTE: Mr. Padgett was not in attendance.)
