Jackson explained that due to his departure the CRA-AB should interview the two
CRA/MSTU Project Mangers and make a recommendation to the CRA Board for
one of them to serve as the office's Interim CRA/MSTU Manager. Mr. Jackson
made a recommendation to the CRA-AB that the selectee continue to perform her
CRA/MSTU Project Management duties and accept the increased responsibility for
oversight of the office with no increase in pay. Ms. Beatty said she felt the selectee
should receive additional compensation for assuming the position. Mr. Jackson
proceeded to hand out copies of the documents he'd provided to the CRA-AB in
advance of the meeting including: the CRA/MSTU Project Manager's Job
Description, each of the Project Manager's 2012 Annual Self Evaluations and an

Mr. Main explained the interview process and informed the Board that after the Project
Manager's presentations and CRA-AB questions,the Board would mark ballots for their
preference. Ms. Trone made the first presentation and stated she was qualified for the
position and reiterated her accomplishments provided in her self-evaluation and that
she had successfully assumed the Bayshore Beautification MSTU duties after the
departure of Mr. Buchheit in February 2012.
Mr. Main addressed the same questions to Ms.Jourdan. Ms Jourdan stated she had 27
years of experience working within the Collier County Government sector with a solid
record of performance and accomplishments. Ms. Jourdan stated, as a result of being
the first Project Manager she is familiar with and has performed all the duties related to
the CRA, including assisting David Jackson with developing important County
relationships to expedite project approvals through the system and guidance of proper
policies and procedures. Jean said she had managed the Bayshore Beautification
MSTU when it was transferred to the CRA until Mr. Buchheit was hired.
The ballots were taken and counted and it was a 3-3 tie between Ms. Jourdan and Sue
Trone. The Advisory Board then asked the two selectees to further describe why they
were qualified for the position. Ms. Trone informed the CRA-AB that she had held a
supervisory position that managed 30 employees and recently she was offered a CRA
Executive Director position in another County, but turned it down due to personal
reasons. Mr. Main asked if those same personal reasons would keep her from staying
in Collier County and Ms. Trone responded that it was a fair question and she didn't
know at this time. Ms. Jourdan informed the CRA-AB that she has five generations of
family residing in Collier County and she grew up in the Bayshore Community, so she
vested interest in the community and will remain in Collier County.
Prior to the CRA-AB taking another vote to break the tie, Ms. Trone withdrew herself
from consideration. Ms.Jourdan thanked Sue and said due to her being the most senior
CRA employee her salary is currently more than Ms. Trone and in light of the current
CRA budget constraints she was willing to forego a pay increase at this time. A motion
was made to approve Ms. Jourdan as Interim Manager and to authorize the CRA
Chariman to write a letter to the CRA Board announcing the CRA-AB's
i-- recommendation. Ms. Beatty. Second: Mr. Dvorak.Approved 6-0. The Board members
expressed their congratulations to Ms. Jourdan.
