Human Resources
Reviewed and shared a first draft of project on paid leaves of absence with Tom
Whitecotton and his staff. This initiated a survey of 16 counties and/or cities in the
Greater Florida area. That survey is in and in the process of revision.
Employee benefits are a very sensitive issue at this time and must be evaluated effectively.
Ad Hoc Committee
Attempted to get with Under Sheriff Bob Burns who was the contact person on the
helicopter issue. Put questions in writing to him and will have answers by next meeting.
Perceive the need to get something in the hands of the commissioners as fast as possible
regarding the 800mHZ. A draft was sent around for review. Final report sent out with
recommendations to commissioners and sheriff:
1. Time for the commissioners to go on record in favor of the system.
2. Get the unbiased technical expertise.
3. Determine funding.
4. Develop procurement package.
5. Conduct a competitive procurement.
6. Select a project manager, who reports to the BCC to run the process efficiently.
