Curry SUBJECT: County Administrator Hiring: Voting and Selection DEPARTMENT: County Administrator BCC DISTRICT: All ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners needs to further discuss, vote, and select the next Okaloosa County Administrator. BACKGROUND: Commissioners held one on one individual interviews on the morning of March 28, 2013 with the finalist for the Okaloosa County Administrator position. The Board then convened for a special meeting in the Okaloosa Water & Sewer building at 1:00 pm on the same day for the purpose of public interviews with the candidates as well as discussion on the selection process. Following the public interviews, the Board discussed with the Executive Recruiter, Colin Baenziger, the method by which the board would make the selection. The Board agreed to narrow the list of candidates, through successive votes, from four to three, three to two and then a final decision. Upon a selection, the Board will also need to also discuss contract negotiations and the timeline for approving the employment agreement. RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: James D. Curry, County Administrator Packet Pg. 412  9.1.b BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: April 2, 2013 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Kay Godwin SUBJECT: Changes to the Human Resources Policy Manual DEPARTMENT: Human Resources BCC DISTRICT: ALL STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request BCC approval of the Human Resources Policy Manual changes identified on the attached pages and outlined below. Changes are clearly identified with strikeout for deleted language and underline for new language. BACKGROUND: The Human Resources Policy Manual requires periodic updates to remain current and relevant. Many of the recommended changes are simply clarifications or minor in nature (e.g., removing reference to the Assistant County Administrator). Other proposed changes are outlined below for further clarification: Add Section O - Pay Adjustments for Executive Band: Upon the recommendation of the Mercer Group, Inc., compensation and classification consultant, an executive pay band was created effective October 2012 tied to the County's reorganization of senior management. The proposed policy provides limited circumstances for pay adjustments to employees in the executive pay band, with a notification requirement to the BCC. Fluid Positions: In 2011, the positions of Master Equipment Technician and Master Paint & Body Technician were created to recognize ASE Certifications. The department requested to make the following positions fluid: Equipment Technician and Master Equipment Technician and Paint & Body Technician and Master Paint & Body Technician, based on the certifications the employee holds. As outlined in the proposed policy change, employees in a master level position who fail to maintain their master certification will have their job title, grade and pay changed to that of an Equipment Technician or Paint and Body Technician as appropriate. Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Leave: The Family and Medical Leave Act was amended on March 8, 2013. The new rule makes clear that "qualifying exigency" coverage extends to members of the National Guard and Reserves. The new rules further clarify that "covered veterans" are covered servicemembers for purposes of requesting leave under the Military Caregiver provision. OPTIONS: Approve/Modify/Disapprove
