We encourage every KCBer to Ask Your Commissioners about these items on the agenda. Click here to email the commissioners and city clerk:
- Should the commission approve a payout and severance pay in the amount of $30,172.45 for former City Administrator Turner?
From his contract: "The City Administrator will be entitled, following a one year probation, to a lump some severance payment equal to eight (8) weeks of base salary in compliance with section 215.425(4)(a), Florida statutes, to be paid on the effective date of termination of employment at the city administrators rate of pay on the date of separation from employment." Eight weeks at $125,000 per annum is $19,230.70.
Is that complete or is it in addition to paying him through the end of his contract? We don't know if he has unused leave time due or other unreimbursed expenses. $11,941.75 represents about five weeks of additional pay.
- Should the commission approve putting the search for a new City Administrator on hold?
- Should the commission approve a renewal agreement for legal services with the firm of Vernis & Bowling despite the city ordinance specifying that "there shall be a City Attorney," not an entire fleet of them.
Section 5-4. - City Attorney.
There shall be A City Attorney of the City who shall be appointed by the City Commission. He shall serve as chief legal advisor to the commission, the Mayor-Commissioner and all City departments, offices and agencies, shall represent the City in all legal proceedings and shall perform any other duties prescribed by this Charter or by the City Commission. The City Commission shall have authority to retain additional counsel in specific actions or proceedings in its discretion.
- Should the commission approve reopening Marble Hall for immediate use?
- Should the commission approve obtaining bids to repair Marble Hall and the Administration area floor?
- Should the commission approve soliciting bids for construction of the LIVS designed new City Hall complex before we have a citizen led design review?
- Should the city participate in a lawsuit against the Form 6 Financial Disclosure requirements for city officials.
- Should commissioner Ramsay-Vickrey initiate a search for a new City Administrator?
- Should commissioner Ramsay-Vickrey put construction of the LIVS designed new City Hall complex out for rebid?
Questions the Commission should be asking that aren't on the agenda
People are asking why Commissioner and former Mayor Patti Trefry resigned abruptly but Commissioners Harding and Vickrey haven't stepped down? They are as culpable as Ms. Trefry
