As you can see in the Executive Summary, I am not submitting anything that is not agreeable to botb of you. 2. I bave no issue witb working witb you to create a set of CRA by-laws for tbe Board's consideration. Before we spend any time on this, I would suggest going to the Board by Executive Summary (on consent) recommending that a proposed set of bylaws be prepared for their review. Jeffrey A. K1atzkow County Attorney (239) 252-8400 From: Jackson David Sent: Thursday, November 13, 20085:18 PM To: KlatzkowJeff; Phillippipenny Subject: CEA ED Evaluations Jeff, I offer the following suggestions for your consideration: ]. eRA Resolution 2001-98 established the CRA Board and by-laws. --~. The CRA does not have a codified set of CRA policies in which to operate or dictate procedures. J. Since the eRA is "a separate and distinct governrnentai body" shouldn't they have their CRA~specific poiicies set forth in a 12/8/2008 Page 3 of3 Agenda Item No. 16G3 December t 6, 2008 Page 16 of 24 resolution - as an exhibit or attachment that can be easily modified to meet local requirements? Right now there isn't a legal document that states eRA can use the following: a. Purchasing - eRA use BCe Purchasing Dept & Purchasing Policy (vaguely stated in one doc) b. Legal - Use BCC legal services (none) c. Personnel- Use eounty Mgr CMA policies, except as modified (recently approved by a Reso) d. Pay and Benefits - Use BCC HR services (none) e, Executive Director evaluation procedures (subject of this mail) f. Financial Audit - Bee auditing services & Clerks accounting services (done in an agreement [MOA]) g, Others that I haven't though of at this moment What I am suggesting is one Resolution be approved that creates the "CRA Policy" and ties up all the above (and possibly more) in one document - that can be easily modified to meet the current needs. If you do not want to go that route, I suggest that this ExSum and Reso for ED Evaluations include a "date certain" for the event to happen. Because they asked for goals and a review of past performance to determine Merit Pay, I suggest that the evaluation occurs in January when the eRA delivers its annual report to the BeC, and presents the goals & objectives for the next 12 months. The other option would be to separate the two items into two "date certain" events and do the evaluation and merit award in September-October for the new fiscal year, and do the goals & objectives in January when the CRA annual report is delivered. I have not discussed this with Penny, so she may want to weigh in on these suggestions.

It is a Community Redevelopment Agency, FY -2008 annual performance appraisal review for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Executive Director. In this partieular item, he put it on the consent agenda and I pulled it on the regular agenda. He's basieally saying that the COLA the board is going to give is sufficient and he's not asking for any kind of merit raise because of the financial situation in the budget reductions that we've basically done, But I did want to give this board an opportunity to at least tell him what a good job he did last year. CHAIRMAN HENNING: Commissioner Fiala? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. First of all, please forgive -- I had such low scores, but it wasn't really low scores. I thought you were doing outstanding, I just don't grade very high. And so please forgive me. It wasn't you. I want to tell you, you've done an outstanding job, and better than we could have ever hoped for, and I appreciate all of the help that you've given to the Immokalee CRA as well. You've helped then, guided me, Penny has said that she's really depended on you to help her through this learning phase. Everything that you've done -- David, I don't have an objection or a complaint about anything, and I think that all you've asked for is COLA. But, boy, we sure owe you a lot more. Thank you. CHAIRMAN HENNING: Commissioner Coyle? COMMISSIONER COYLE: I agree, I don't know why she didn't rate you higher. She rates -- most of her other ratings that she does on people are a lot higher than that. I think what she did, she got three and one mixed up. She didn't know which was the highest. But nevertheless, you do a good job. We've struggled with that -n '"'....

MR. JACKSON : Yes, sir. And thank you for the good words. The only thing I would like to do is invite each of the commissioners to come down to the area and take a tour. We've only had one commissioner come down and visit with us, I think it's worth your time to put -- CHAIRMAN HENNING: I go to Del's all the time. MR. JACKSON: Stop in the office, sir. We'd like to talk to you. But you're more than welcome to. The area is improving, and it is going to get a lot better. And now with the approval of the previous item, we'll be coming back to you with some more items to talk about with board discussion, so it looks like things are going to be getting better here shortly. COMMISSIONER COYLE: And now, where is that place you're talking about? MR. JACKSON: We've -- the new office that we've located in is on 4069 Bayshore Drive. It's just north of the East Naples Fire Station on Bayshore Drive and almost diagonal from Windstar and Morehead Manor. Those two residential projects that were across the street. COMMISSIONER COYLE: So anybody who wants to find out what's happening in the Bayshore area or the mini-triangle area should stop in there and talk with you. MR. JACKSON: They do all the time.

CHAIRMAN HENNING: I don't know why -- personally why we're grading you, I think -- I mean, I had to really stretch to understand and -- what's going on down there. I don't have time to do that. And we don't do it for the airport director, who is under contract. We don't do it for the CRA director for Immokalee. I don't want to have to grade it anymore. I just want to see what my other colleagues think. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Good point. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah. COMMISSIONER COYLE: Well, why -- you know, there's a couple ways of handling that. One is to let the eommissioner in the district grade him, and that would mean that Commissioner Coletta would do the grading for the Immokalee CRA, But it is good, I think, for the employee to get some feedback and to detennine how he or she is doing. But I also understand the difficulty; if there are commissioners who don't have a CRA in their distriet, they don't have an opportunity to participate to a large degree. How do they have a basis for evaluating except for just the few times you eome and appear before us? I think everybody here is happy with what you've done, but how Page 236 Aaenda Item No. 16G3 ~ December 16. 2008 Page 21 of 24 October 28, 2008 many of us could really say -- could really recite all of the accomplishments that you've had over the time you've been here? So Commissioner Henning's concerns, I think, are well-founded. But if you wanted to have Commissioner Fiala and I do this, I mean, she's been involved in this area for such a long time, before I was, and she's stayed active in it, and I have no problem with that either, But it is in my district, and I think if we're going to do the evaluating and if the other commissioners feel that they don't have the time or the information to do it, I think the two of us could do that. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Sure. And I think what we would want to really do is hear from the advisory committee who works with them all the time, COMMISSIONER COYLE: Sure. Get their recommendations. That's important. CHAIRMAN HENNING: I -- just to task the County Attorney to take a look at those agreements and see if we can do that. If there's -- if there's a problem or ifthere's something that we need to memorialize through a resolution, let's go ahead and do that, the commissioner of the district, to -- COMMISSIONER FIALA; There's actually two of us, because I've got the triangle, He's got Bayshore, so -- COMMISSIONER COYLE: And Commissioner Henning, could I ask a question about that? Now, we -- I'm not suggesting that the board delegate responsibility to Commissioner Fiala and me to adjust the salary or anything of that nature with respect to Mr, Jackson. That is a ftmction of the entire board and should be decided by the majority of the board. But if we're talking about recurring evaluations and direct feedback to Mr. Jackson, then I don't have a problem sharing that with Commissioner Fiala, CHAIRMAN HENNING: Okay, And Jeff, if you could just send us an emaiL Page 237 .'-""'-"'-~'4"-" -. l\genda !~ern 1\0. 16G3 De:::ember 16. 2008 Page 22 of 24 October 28,2008 MR. KLATZKOW: I've just written that. CHAIRMAN HENNING: Okay. MR. JACKSON: That's fine, CHAIRMAN HENNING: Thank you. I mean, I sat there with your -- I went through your evaluation, I think, four times, and figuring out, how can I give you good feedback, you know, positive or constructive feedback. It was very difficult. MR. JACKSON: Correct. When you're not totally involved with the area and real familiar to it -- I have no problem with recommendations with the two eommissioners that -- whose district I work inside of. They can work up an evaluation and bring it back to the board. And then the -- if there is an annual merit award, if there ever gets around to that again, the economy does recover, then the board can approve that based on their recommendation. CHAIRMAN HENNING: Right. MR. JACKSON: It's easily done, and I think I can work with the County Attorney, and it's a simple amendment, if needed. CHAIRMAN HENNING: Can I say one other thing? Can you work with the two commissioners and set out some goals for the next year, maybe two years? I mean, you might have projeets even last longer and kind of lay that out. Maybe you can do a performance evaluation of that. MR. JACKSON: Yes, sir. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: I'd like the same opportunity to work with Penny Phillippi, Immokalee CRA, also through their board. CHAIRMAN HENNING: Okay. And develop a performance evaluation? COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yeah, be happy to, CHAIRMAN HENNING: Great. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: May I -- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt, but may I -- possibly to get some assistance from Page 238 Agenda Item No. 16G3 December 16, 2008 Page 23 of 24 October 28, 2008 personnel with the county to make sure that we're heading in the right direction with our evaluation procedure? CHAIRMAN HENNING: You can ask the County Manager. MR. MUDD: No. Well, you've just asked the County Attorney in a previous issue to take a look at agreements and see ifhe could find some way to take a look and ifhe could get some consistency between the two. It's always better to have an odd number of people -- and I'm not talking about odd in a different sense, I'm talking about, you know, three, five, seven, nine, that kind of odd, to rate somebody, because if you get one person that has an extreme dislike and then you have another one that has an extreme like, then you're coming back to the Board of County Commissioners with, I like this person or I really don't like this person, now what do you do? And it's always good to maybe have a third. So if you're talking about, you have a subcommittee and the subcommittee, I believe, has a chairman to it. COMMISSIONER FIALA: You mean the advisory board? MR. MUDD: Yes, ma'am. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, they do. MR. MUDD: You might want to include that chairperson for that year as somebody that letter inputs or maybe rates, and this way it would give you the odd. You'd have three instead of two. I'm not saying that two commissioners ean't do it, but you can't do it talking to each other. That's my -- that's the particular issue. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: That's right. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Good point. MR. MUDD: It might be something to think about to add some consistency. CHAIRMAN HENNING: Okay. COMMISSIONER COYLE: That would mean Commissioner Fiala would be the odd person.

CHAIRMAN HENNING: Number one is an odd number, COMMISSIONER FIALA: We say that only because we like one other. CHAIRMAN HENNING: Now we go into staffs communications. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, do we have to vote on that or did we? CHAIRMAN HENNING: No, it's just direction, COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. MR. MUDD: Mr. Klatzkow's going to come back and-- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Did we vote -- MR. MUDD: Yeah, you voted on that, yes, ma'am. It went 5-0. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay, thank you, I forgot already. Item #15 STAFF AND COMMISSION GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS MR. MUDD: The only thing I have on communications, number one, based on board direction, as far as the pro forma and things like that, the marina and Port of the Isles. Staff has done a good job collecting that information, and now I'm, in the next week or so, I'm going to be in negotiations with the owners to try to get an agreement, something that is within current prices of what's going on out there to bring something back to the Board of County Commissioners, The next item is -- I had Mr. Sheffield write you a memo on the 20th of October to talk about impact fee indexing discussions with the Productivity Committee, I don't know if you had an opportunity to read that, but I wanted to make sure that you knew about it and to get some direction from the board. You've got a requirement in your ordinances that we come back Page 240
