6:32 pm
Council Member McPartlan said he has been on Council for 12 years but has never worked so
hard outside of the scope of Council Member as he has during the last year. People are saying
that he doesn't like the City Manager but he made the motion to hive him five years ago. It has
been said that he doesn't communicate with the manger but he provided a public records request
for his personal phone records showing he called the manager more than he called him from
October 29 until the end of March.
He said he asked the City Manager if he thought he would use the City car as much as he did and
he admitted that he didn't think he would use it as much as he did. The fleet superintendent
assessed that a car for the City Attorney at 12,000 miles a year would have been about a $5,200-
$5,400 a year benefit. The City Manager's vehicle went twice the miles of that estimate so he
valued that benefit at over $10,000 a year. He noted that the new County Commissioner will be
receiving a $350 a month car allowance and he will cover the entire County.
He said he has a state vehicle that he covers four counties with and averages about 1,000-1,300
miles a month. He asked the City Manager if he went to more meetings than him and the answer
was no.
He displayed the Florida Dept. of Children and Families (DCF) Employee Handbook which
includes evaluation procedures. He provided sections 9 covering evaluations.
He said his evaluation of the manager works out to be a 1.5. He read this evaluation form. (See
attached)
Council Member McPartlan described how the manager's relation to the governing body isn't
done in a timely manner and he holds items close to his vest until it is too late. He cited how the
strategic plan that didn't materialize, the Stonecrop Drainage went over budget and the expiration
of the Waste Management contract. He said communication with the manager is frustrating.
He also described a recent request by Tim Glover to visit the new Public Works Compound
where the City Manager didn't thoroughly read the email to properly address Mr. Glover's
request indicating continuing communication problems. He also described how the stormwater
master plan and employee union negotiations have yet to be completed.
Council Member MCParthm said he viewed City Council as equivalent to the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and if a body had a commander who was failing in fiscal management, morale, planning, and
relationships with the public, they would not leave that person in command or in a leadership
position. If they had a leader, who had one set of rules for the troops and another for himself, it
would not be tolerated. Any one of the items he mentioned is a problem, but the totality of these
actions, behavior and attitude is way too much for him to support Mr. Carlisle as the City
Manager. He said everything that he wrote in the evaluation was unpopular but he was glad that
some of the others shared concerns.
Council Member Dodd said he had read all of the evaluations and noted all five of them have
different relationships with the City Manager. He couldn't dispute anything that the others have
said. He has had the same issues that Council Member MCPenlan had and had conversations with
the manager.
He said he has been in senior management for a long time and participated in interventions which
are difficult and hard to (rear. There are issues that they need to focus on but they shouldn't give

up on a senior employee whose performance needs improvement in certain areas. There are steps
that need to be taken.
He said he finds the City Manager tries to do too much. The three reasons managers do too much
are they want control, they don't trust the employees they have to delegate to, or they don't have
anyone to delegate to. He said he was hoping the third item was the reason and he implored
Council to hire additional staff. He said the City needs middle management people that am
qualified project managers.
Right now the City of Sebastian has 3.5 employees per 1,000 residents. The City of Vero Beach
has 7 employees per 1,000 residents. The City of Sebastian had 8 before the 2008 drop so
Council has created a situation that makes it difficult to say that it is just the City Manager's fault
that some of the things have occurred.
Council Member Dodd said he thought Council should establish a quarterly review process
indicating a project schedule and timeline then talk about projects behind schedule or over
budget. That would begin the process of oversight.
He said Council is responsible to make sure that the most senior employee has the resources to do
the things they would like to see him do and process.
Once the strategic plan is developed the senior manager will monitor the plan as his staff executes
the tasks and objectives. Council Member Dodd said the issues that have been discussed are not
invalid; they should step forward to attack the issues and take some time to see what happens. He
said mutual trust is needed to rebuild through positive management action.
7:07pm Citv Clerk Evaluations
Mayor Jones gave the City Clerk and her staff an overall rating of 5.
Vice Mayor Nunn read his evaluation form into the record. (See attached)
Council Member Dixon said her evaluation was the same. (See attached)
Council Member McPartlan said he appreciated all that the clerk and the records specialist have
done for the body.
Council Member Dodd said the clerk and the records specialist do a fantastic job for the City.
It was the consensus of Council to provide the City Attorney's evaluations upon request
Public Input
Mayor Jones read a statement from Carolyn Sartain -Anderson into the record. (See attached)
Sherrie Matthews said the original concept behind a council manager form of government is to
separate the policy making function and the elected Council from the administrations functions to
be directed by the City Manager. Without a clear understanding of function and role the
performance evaluation has little value. The combination essay and scale grade evaluation is
effective but this style becomes weak when there are no comments or the comments are vague or
contradictory to the grade. The hardest part is to remain objective and not subjective or to make
it appear as an award ceremony.
It is important to stick to criteria in collecting accurate information and is difficult because
Council is not there in the day to day operations. She said four evaluations were completed in
Special Meeting
April 14, 2023
Page 4
7.29 pm
7:58 pm
March and one in April and one was amended in April, which provides for a few months instead
of a whole performance cycle.
She also said they should list examples on how the officers are serving them. She said it was odd
to hear all five evaluations; she thought that one final document would have been composed to
give an overall view that the officer meets the expectations.
She said had these been complied, they would have seen a different outcome. She said she tries
to lives by integrity which is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
Andrea Ring, Quarry Lane, said in her work experience, if they start making excuses for bad
people, they are only encouraging bad behavior.
Anne Stanley said she has been researching the use of the vehicle and is appalled at the misuse of
the tax payer's money,
Bill Flynn said he remembered that the City Manager asked for a trailer hitch for this last vehicle
in case one was needed and recently heard the manager's boat was brought from east coast to the
west coast with the City vehicle and he wasn't sure if that was intended. He asked if the City
Manager would be willing to renegotiate his contract and reimburse the City for fuel.
Zoom Participation
Andrea Coy said she felt compelled to discuss the alcohol issue at Capt. Himun's and a recent
Florida League of Cities conference and asked how much longer they will accept bad behavior.
Terry McGinn, Miller Drive, said the Budget Advisory Review Committee probably needs to do
a better job at looking into the projects. He also said there wasn't enough staff at the City to
manage all of the projects.
Penny Smith, Emerson Lane, asked what was Council Member Dodd's evaluation number.
Nelson McCollum, said he didn't understand why the Waste Management issue wasn't discussed
over the last year and why the option of providing the trash service ourselves wasn't investigated.
He said through the whole process, it seemed the City Manager was working for Waste
Management.
In response to Ms. Smith, Council Member Dodd said his ratings of the City Manager went from
2.5 up to 4 and his overall statements were that the City Manager needs to do a better job with
project management.
Mayor Jones called for a recess at 8:08 p.m. and upon return at 8:22 p.m., all members were present
B. Discuss Contracts
It was discussed that the City Attorney could put together the three contracts to make a shell
contract and then Mayor Jones and himself would be putting in the terms of the new contract.
Council Member Dodd suggested that they go down the list of the proposed categories:
SALARY - The starting salary should be the amount listed in the salary survey.
Special Meeting
April 14, 2023
Page 5
8:40 pm
COLAISALARY INCREASES - This should be based on Council evaluations.
HEALTII/DENTALNISION INSURANCE - Same as all employees. Council Member
McPartlan would like the City to look into Surgery Plus.
LIFE INSURANCE - The marketplace provides additional life insurance to officers. It was
agreed the officers should receive additional life insurance.
DISABILITY INSURANCE — Same as all employees.
CITY'S 9% CONTRIBUTION TO 401a - Keep the officers the same across the board. Make
sure the Clerk is in the same 401 a plan so she doesn't lose already accrued benefits.
VACATION TIME - Use the language in the City Attorney's contract.
SICK TIME - Same as all employees.
DISCRETIONARY TIME - Same as all employees.
PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION DUES/SUBSCRIPTIONS/SEMINARS - Keep the same.
REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES RELATED TO PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES -
Keep the satire.
MILITARY LEAVE- Must follow federal law.
VEHICLE - Allowance of $500 for the City Manager and $350 for the City Attorney. When
traveling outside of 75 miles, officers are reimbursed the federal mileage rate or take the City
vehicle and log the mileage.
Council Member McPartlan said he preferred to see a City vehicle with a log book with a 25 mile
limit. If there was to be an allowance he would like it at $350 for both officers.
It was the consensus of Council to have the City Manager fill out a log book for the vehicle he is
driving now until his new contract is signed.
BENEFITS AFFORDED TO OTHER FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES — Same as all employees.
RESIDENCY — Keep the same.
EXCLUSIVELY EMPLOYED — Keep the same.
TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE — Make it the same for all three officers — 20 weeks.
NOTICE OF SEPARATION — Require 60 days notice for all officers.
INDEMNIFICATION — Keep the same.
Council Member McPartlan requested a Standards of Conduct be included in the contract and
have the officers follow an employee handbook.
Special Meeting
April 14, 2023

Council Member Dodd suggested placing the discussion of an employee handbook on a future
Council agenda.
Council Member McPartlan also requested that when they are doing the performance evaluations,
the officers list expectations (goals and objectives) for the upcoming year and the officer then
signs for this. At the next evaluation the expectations we reviewed and the officers we rated.
The Strategic Plan will help define the goals and objectives. This year Council will provide goals
and objectives to Human Resources who will combine all of the goals.
C. Set the Schedule for the New Contracts
It was the consensus of Council to have the contracts finalized within the next thirty days
6. Being no further business, Mayor Jones adjourned the Special Meeting at 9:14 p.m.
Approved at the May 24, 2023 meeting.

anette Williams, City Clerk
Good Evening Council, my name is Carolyn Sartain Anderson,
Sebastian.
I come before you this evening to discuss the Evaluation
process, as well as where I feel we are in the process of
evaluating the Charter Officers, especially the City Manager. In
my profession of Special Education, like you, part of my job
description was having to write many evaluations of colleagues
who I worked closely with/share my evaluations 1:1. Those
evaluations were stringent, mandated legally, such as yours.
We were given training in the program; of course as part of my
University of Virginia Administrative degree that was an
essential component.
When I moved here in 2004 1 perceived the evaluation of the
Charter Officers as being very'lax', as it was 'a family' at City
Hall. After serving on 2 Charter Review Committees I learned
that the Evaluation process is as important as
knowledge/compliance of the Sunshine Law, perhaps even
more so, as it directly impacts the governing process of our
City. I suggest that in the future the Council may want to
consider a formalized training process for new Council
members, who may not have experience in writing an
evaluation.
The key to writing an honest evaluation of a colleague, friend or
in the case of the City Manager, who many of the City residents
perceive several of you to be 'cozy' with, is TOTAL OBJECTIVITY.
If you are not able to write a totally objective, totally honest,
totally realistic, totally factual based, without any minimizing of
concerns evaluation, then you need to consider recusing
yourself from the process and resign. As the public will see
through your veiled attempt to whitewash our current situation
regarding valid issues/concerns surrounding Mr. Carlisle.
Council member McPartlan, who has written many evaluations
in his professional career, set the bar high at the last Council
meeting March 22. He provided FULL TRANSPARENCY to the
residents by reading his FACTUAL evaluation of the Charter
Officers aloud.
* I request that the Mayor/remaining 3 Council members also
in the spirit of FULL TRANSPARENCY read their evaluations
aloud. Once all evaluations have been read, discussion should
ensue considering all issues. If you plan on a corrective action
plan for the City Manager, who is going to be responsible for
the daily management of the highest ranked Charter Officer?
You really need to consider that if we have to manage the
Manager, why do we need him at all? Past performance is
indicative of future results. I believe that the City of Sebastian
deserves better and the time is now.
Council members, the City Council in 2018 hired Mr. Carlisle in
good faith, entrusting him to not only highly perform his
contractual duties, become a part of our community, carry
himself in public to uphold the decorum of his Charter office
and most importantly set an example for City employees and
foster positivity and fairness. Mr. Carlisle, has not fulfilled any
of these duties.
A year after Mr. Carlisle was hired (2018) in late 2019/early
2020, prior to the pandemic I was made aware of the low
morale/frustration of employees within City Hall; those
employees have persevered, despite the City Manager's
actions/behavior/attitudes, because of their love of Sebastian.
They are to be commended.
My recommendation is a NO VOTE OF CONFIDENCE for the
Council on behalf of the residents of Sebastian.

CITY MANAGER EVALUATION
Sub ect: Explanation of City Manager Evaluation Form
Name: Paul Carlisle, Jr.
Date: February 24, 2023
The attached evaluation form has been prepared for the City Council. The forth
includes four (4) major sections or areas of evaluation with criteria under each section
as follows:
Section I Relations with the Governing Body.
Section 11 Organizational Relations which include three (3) subsections:
A.
Fiscal Management
B.
Personnel Management
C.
Managing the Organization
Section III Relations with the Public
Section IV Relations with other Governments
W-WIT11 it•I.I 73.1444111:1 9
At the top of the first page of the evaluation form there is a rating scale that provides the
basis for evaluating each of the thirty-two (32) criteria which are included under the four
major sections or areas. The scale ranges from 'Does Not Meet Expectations", at the
bottom of the rating scale, to "Exceeds Expectations", at the top of the rating scale.
Numerical values are assigned to the scale ranging from #1 through #5, with #1
corresponding to "Does Not Meet Expectations", #5 corresponding to "Exceeds
Expectations", #3 corresponding to "Meets Expectations", and are the midpoint of the
rating scale.
Each section should be reviewed as to the area being evaluated and each item scored
independently. At the end of each area there is a comment section where the evaluator
can document achievements accomplished by the City Manager or areas that need
improvement.
In finalizing the evaluation it is recommended that you not add the thirty-two (32)
numbers that have been recorded under the four (4) major sections or areas to arrive at
an average score. You are not looking for an averaged combined score. You are
looking for strengths and weaknesses.
Pursuant to Resolution Number R-10-05, City Council shall receive evaluation forms for
the City Attorney, City Clerk and City Manager, as well as the current cost of living
adjustment percentage being provided by the Coastal Florida Public Employees
Association, formerly Communications Workers of America (CWA) from Administrative
Services staff by May 1 of each year.
Subsequent to receipt of information provided as set out above, each City Council
member shall prepare an evaluation for the City Attorney, City Clerk and City Manager
by using the forms provided or by writing a narrative or in whatever form each deems
appropriate. Each City Council member shall also conduct an oral interview with each
of the Charter Officers on an individual basis. City Council shall at a meeting in June of
each year publicly evaluation and act upon any merit increases for the City Attorney,
City Clerk and City Manager under City Council matters.
Note:
It is recommended that each evaluator keep a record of accomplishments or areas of
concern that are observed over the rating period so as to have a ready reference of
material to refer to when preparing the annual evaluation. This would allow for a fair
and impartial evaluation to take place.
The last page of the evaluation forth provides for an 'overall' rating entry for City
Council members to record their comprehensive view or impression of the Manager's
performance using the rating scale as justification. This is the section where the
evaluator can document their suggestions for overall improvements, contentment of
work performed and recommends a salary increase if warranted.

Paul Carlisle City Manager Evaluation
4/6/2023
Section 1 Relations with the governing body.
I speak to Mr. Carlisle multiple times daily, sometimes I oil him, sometimes he calls me
I find working with him to be very easy, he gives me all the Information I need to do my Job, If there Is
something that I don't know, he oils me to tell me.
I spoke with Mr Carlisle about the strategic plan and why it went over budget, and he acknowledged
that he is to blame for it going over budget We did, however, get a very comprehensive Citizen survey
that gave us a great amount of information. I do understand that when this plan was Implemented it
was before Covid, before the annexation case and before the issues with the 3 council members. Let us
not forgetthat Covid while it didn'tshut us down hard, it shut most things around us in the world down.
I do feel that the strategic plan vendor should have been better managed. The vendor obviously now
was not capable of handling this plan.
As fares the stonecrop project, the increased costswere directtycontributed by the massive Increase of
all construction materials during this period. The delay mine from waking forthe FEMA grant
As faros the Solid Waste contract is conmmed, I do feel now knowingwhat I know now about the delay
of upto 18 monthsfor delivery of new trucks that, as a city we should of went out for Bid a year earlier,
but who would have ever thought that would be the delay In getting trucks. Also, after talking to the
othervendars, a couple of their Issues for not bidding was Information, In the existing contract there
was no mention of the city getting subscriber information as that was deemed private data. Also, there
were no penalties in the current contract, both items were addressed in the new contract, the City
Managermade sure that both commercial and residential subscriberdata would be provided to the City
on request, also he made sure there was 30 day for muse termination of contract and a 120 day no
muse termination of contract without penalties.
So for me, communication and relations with the City Manager are very good in both directions.
I feel that the City Manager needs to do a betterjob communicating with any council member that feels
it is lacking.
Section 2 Organizational Relations.
A. Fiscal Management
I personally believe that as the City Manager, he does an amazing job making sure the budget is
completed properly and on time, by working with staff and the Citizens Budget Review Advisory Board.
The City manager and staff provides quarterly financial reports and brings any other changes to the
council during the meetings. I will also talk to the City Manager about where projects are and whether
on budget or not.
B. Personnel Management.
It was mentioned that the City Manager was at fault for the delay in the Union negotiations with both
employee unions. The biggestdelay was because of a change in the Unions and what appeared to be no
desire to negotiate until the new Union was in place. The City Manager has no power to push or coerce
the employees orthe Unions to negotiate without representation.
I personally spoke with all Directors and upper management about Mr. Carlisle, while there were a few
Issues, almost every one of them said that they had a great working relationship with him, that he was
always professional and very knowledgeable and one of the best City Managers they have worked for,
they almost all said they respected him and his position.
During the time pay was an Issue, It always brings out the negative, it's when employees feel strongest
about their situation and their concems. Now due to the City Managers direction and leadership utilizing
the pay study the pay Issues should be mostly resolved.
C. Managing the Organization
I once again spoke to all Directors and othersenlor management and they all felt that the City Manager
allowed them the freedom and encouraged them to run their departments, none of them felt that he
mivo-managed them and felt that he was available when needed either In person or by phone.
Some fekthat sometimes, gettingan appointment tosit down with him was hard and took a week or so
as he is very busy.
As far as his vehicle Is concerned, when 1 first became a council member, I had deep concems at why
this would be allowed and afterresearching it I found It was a benefitgIven to him In his contract byway
of the contract addendum approved by a S-Ovote of the then existing City Council. I also found that in
the City Manager and City Attorney contracts, that negotiation was only available by way of a request
from the respective individuals, the only way it could be changed by the Council is If it was terminated
for muse or no muse.
I looked at the bigger picture, other agendes/citlesthat don't give a vehicle to a charter type officer give
a car allowance, the standard seems to be about $SOD a month, so the total over a 3-year period would
be $18,000, so the approximate $20,000 spent over the 3 years seems reasonable. Now that doesn't
considerthe cost of the vehicle, which has value as well. The vehicle would still exist, we would still have
Insurance on it, so the only other cost would be wear and tear on it. The original vehicle was 7 years old,
it had 128,785 miles on it when itwas replaced and put Into the city cerpool.
3. Relations with the Public
The City Manager did have a situation at Captain Himm's in 2018 where he was upsetwith the service as
were some other people there at the time. He did get upset and felt he might have gotten to upset and
apologized to the owners and Coundl Members. As fares the neighbor issue, we don't live in and HOA, I
have driven by the City Managers house as well, quite frequently and his house is maintained, yard
mowed, how he trims his bushes and trees are his business, not his neighbors. We all have a neighbor
that we didn't get along with, imagine g your neighbor went to your employer to try and get you in
trouble because the two of you didn't agree.
I have seen Paul In action with the Public, he has a very good rapport with the business owners and
residents of the city, he meets with them as they request and listens to their mnmms and Ideas. He
responds to emails from them in a timely manner with facts and empathy.
The City Manager and his wife have been In every parade since he has been here, they attend almost
every larger City event on the weekends, he bought his house In December of 2018, yes it took longer to
find a house than originally anticipated and the Council voted 5-0 to allow that extension, he was given
an additional months, he closed on his house a month later. I believe that he is Invested In Sebastian,
yes, he spends a lot of time on the west coast of Florida at his other home with his wife, Imagine you
and your wife both having highly professional jobs and having to live on different masts of Florida for
those jobs and doing your bestto see each other on wee kends. Once again, the vehicle was given by the
Coundl for personal use anywhere in Florida, ills and was a benefit how do you look bad on someone
for using their benefit. And if you have a problem with it and want to change it, talk to him about it and
find a way to change it through the Council.
What the City Manager does on his time, If it's not illegal and doesn't affect the City of Sebastian is none
of our business.
4. Relations with Other Governments
I know for sure that the relationship the City Manager had with the County Administrator was a good
one, a mutually respected professional relationship, the issue with the County is both of their positions
reported to and elected Board of Representatives and how they interacted with each other in their
positions represented how they were directed to act.
My hope Is that with a new County Administrator the relationship will Improve, but he will still report to
the same board as the last County Administrator.

on inspections Is 1 day or same day.
The City Compound project and the 2-million-dollar grant to bring sewer and water to the airport and
get those airport mmmercial entities off septic.
Finally demolished the hotel on the west side of Indian River drive and planning passive park on the
east side.
Completed the Fisherman's landing Commercial fisherman's loading zone area.
Mr Carlisle has led many grant projects Including the nmway rehab project, taxiway alpha expansion,
Stone Crop drainage ditch (L4 million dollars), used ARA funding to design the Blossom/Riviera ditch
project, Schumann Drive/Conspan bridge and matching funds for the Concha dam replacement.
HI leadership on the Stormwater Master Plan that the City Public Works director is managing very well,
this project went from roughly 2.30 data points in the past, to currently over 2200 data points, which
Include ditches, canals, and many other drainage components inside our City, this was required to have
a true plan that will show where the real issues are and how to deal with them, also the vendor will help
the City get grants to pay for a huge chunk of the work that will need to be done.
The 6-year Road Improvement Plan Is being prepared for Council approval, the City had a few logistical
Issues with the vendor and was able to resolve those Issues, so the worst roads are beIngdealt with first,
but also dealing with roads that on be recoated to allow them to last another 5-10years.
The City Manager has driven the annexation of almost 2300 acres of out parcels on the boundary of the
city to provide mixed use development, commercial and residential development.
Recovered from multiple hurricanes and is working on the funding payment from FEMA for debris
removal, dock repairs, sidewalk repairs and range netting at the golf course.
The last accompllshment I will mention is the city's staff is amazing, our directors are the best, the City
Manager has an awesome team.
Areas for Improvement:
I believe that the City Manager is a good communicator, but his schedule and interactions with multiple
Council members gets In the way of that with staff, I would like him to try and better manage that, I
know I am part of that problem, as I communicate with him frequently.
I think sometimesthe City Manageris not as hard on non-performingemployees as I think he should be.
I suggest a bi-annual or quarterly all -hands meeting at the compound and the City Hall, so the
employeescan hearwhat's going on in the city and ask questions, it would be good for them to see and
hearfrom their leader.
I would like to see a State of the City meeting, run like a workshop where the City Manager lets the
citizens know what's going on in the city and be able to ask questions.
I suggest making a bigger effort to have an all -directors meeting and not letting R get interrupted so that
all directors hear what's going on in other departments to know how R may Impact them and have
dBcussion, also to Involve the other directors on projects happening In other departments that may
affect them.
I know the City Manager is available at nights and weekends, he also works meetings after normal
business hours, but perception Is a destructive element, the perception Is that he does no work on
nights, Fridays or Friday afternoons, he is a contract employee and 1 know he works hard, but the
comment that no other employee has some of the rights or benefits the City Manager has, well no other
employee is responsible fora Sae million dollar budget, managing US directors and employees,
Including 12,000 homes and a Pollm Department, no one else is the CEO of the organization and none of
them have a contract with the City. So, comparing apples to oranges will never work or come out fair.
Stormwater Master Plan synopsis & timeline received from Karen Miller Public Works Director
Here is the summary to date forthe Stormwater Master Plan. I have tried to keep this update shorter
than mypreviousemall. You will find referencesto myself (KM) and Paul Carlisle (PC). As I have said on
the phone, I know this master plan has taken awhile, but I have also wanted to make sure it received
the attention and most intensive review as this will be our last chance to reconcile any Issues with the
plan and be able to make changes while they are still in contract. Reviewing previous master plans the
City had conducted this is a much more intensive and inclusive plan as it not only goes through Capital
Improvement projects but reviews all departmentactivities, budget, equipment, and record keeping. In
order to verify accuracy I have also been comparing this Master plan to results from previous master
plans. In reviews with Phillip, this is way beyond any previous stormwater master plan he has
seen. Arcadis is even lookingto submit a presentation about their work with the City as it is much more
comprehensive than typical stormwater master plans they have created in the past.
Here are the most recent dates and deliverables we have received. These do not include all of the
coordination meetings and calls that were completed in order for them to complete the draft. If you
would like to see some of that information please let me know.
SWMPTIMEUNE
December 22n0 — Draft received
-Totaling 726 pages of all textual comments
January 9"—KM emailed Arcadis for follow-up maps and postponing monthly meeting until all
comments were tabulated for their review
January 20'h— Received updated watershed maps
January 2e —Teams Meeting with Arcadts to discuss initial comments and review the CMMS between
KM and Arcadis
-KM asked when we would receive the CMMS system (or the new work order system to help
log actions to actual assets) — that all acted as a work session to see how the City wanted the CMMS
completed
-KM brought up othergeneral comments In the master plan and noted she would be sending a
complete markup of all comments so we could review all issues at one time after Arcadis had reviewed
-KM mentioned we have a GIS technician and we wanted to look at all of the GIS
model information during our review of the plan —she was aware it was a large file but questioned
when we would receive that
February 131h monthly meeting was cancelled as City was still formulating comments
February 27'"— PC notified KM of upcoming Hazard Mitigation Gant Program opportunities
-KM recommended the three upstream Stonecrop projects outlined by Arcadis
-KM reviewed feasibility with SW and roads crew
-Verified project importance order in SWMP with roads and sw crews
March fly" — Internal City meeting regarding Master Plan
-KM briefed PC regarding the projects, items Included and items missing
-Discussed that the canal projects needed to be Included and notjust set aside as
"future" projects— PC mentioned it is Arcadis' responsibility to advise about how to complete this
process
-KM mentioned she had not yet received the model —She also mentioned concern
that the daft only mentions one model when the City had required both and Jul and 2d model
-KM mentioned that the report does not detail the future Stonecrop
Improvements and In previous conversations ArcadIs said they would provide those results for an
additional fee
-PC said that Aradls will have to provide those results with this study — KM
said she would Include it In her final comments for them to reconcile
March W —Check in meeting for CM MS system between KM and Aradis
-KM brought up again that she had concems about the model and she had not received the GIS
or hydraulic model and wanted that to complete the full review — we did not want to complete a partial
review and find Issues later on an addendum, but Instead wanted to review the Item as a whole
March 15" — received the hydraulic model of the City —At Initial review it again appears only to be a Sd
model as KM presumed —The city will require the 2d model to be included as well
Still waitine on from Arradis:
-2d hydraulic model
-GIS data collection from the study
Future work:
-Once Aradis has received our final review comments, perthelrcontract they have one month to make
any corrections/updates fora FINAL SWMP
-At that time they will come to City Council and provide a presentation review of their work
-The city will then create a Notice to Proceed when they would like Arad Is to complete their one major
grant application
-The dry plans to have meetings with Aradls to discuss which project or group of
projects would be most beneficial for the grant
-The notice to proceed will follow according to which grant we want them to apply for
-If we are looking for a Florida Resilient grant through FDEP we cannot apply
for at least fourteen months as we have a consultant making changes to the coastal resiliency plan to
bring us Into compliance and be eiligible for those type of award funds
Road ImprovementIS year plan synopsis & tlmeline from Karen Miller Public Works Director
ere is the summary of the road assessment work that has been going on. If you would like the
shortened timeline please skip to the end of this email. I may have gone into more detail than you
need. If you would also like to see the deliverables we have received to date and any comparisons
please let me know and I can send those over to you.
Pavement Management group was hired in March of 2022 to complete a re -assessment of the
streets. They were to get us a report explaining the condition of the roads by the end of June
2022. They sent back the report in middle of July. In July and August Paul and l reviewed their report
and found some discrepancies. Paul and I did a drive through of the cityto see Ifthe PCI number
assigned matched the existing conditions. In that drive we took notes and following I created a
comparison of the 2018 report and the 2022 report to show where some items did not match up with
existing conditions. On August 8ih we had a meeting with PMG to show them the disceepandes. They
agreed that the Al had mislabeled some of the streets and we wanted them to re -assess and have eyes
on each segment. They sent us back an updated report revising the PCI in September. As it turns out
our review meeting was scheduled during Hurricane Ian and we cancelled the meeting and
rescheduled. Itwas then rescheduled for early Novemberand actually we held the meeting during the
hurricane (both PCand KM) because PCbelieved it had been drawn out and needed to happen. Bothof
us were in the office during the hurricane anyway so we thought it was best to move forward without
causingdelay. At that time we were under the assumption that they had begun the 6 year pavement
plan that would call out specific sections of roads to completed each year and the budget required. In
January I received the invoice forthe 6 yearplan. I believed It was an accounting mistake as many times
the amounting department billing is unaware of the process. I learned from the team that they had
expected payment Infull of $5,400 forthe plan to be completed. I sent back our contract and explained
per our contract and the piggyback contract we cannot pay for hems that have not yet been
completed. Theysaid they would not begin the plan until paid. I discussed with finance and we agreed
we could pay them 50% up front and pay the remainder when the final plan was received. With this
they fait comfortable and began plan updates. We then received the six year plan on March 3. In
between that time I have reviewed the results with the roads crews, stormwater crews, and Paul. We
all agreed significant portions were missing. Especially Schumann Or and Barber Stjunctlons. I emalled
PMG that we have additional funds forpaving than they have Included and we would like all of the poor
or worse roads to be Included In the plan, as If they are not in the 6 year plan, after that time they will
surely have failed. I had a meeting scheduled with PMG to review the status today. We discussed the
specific roads, the revised budget, and they have a dearer understanding of what we want included. I
was told we would have the 6 yearplan revision by the end of the week. In my mind that means we on
review next week and have this plan finalized.
I have also been in coordination with our existing pavement contractor and they have sent over revised
pricing. With the revised price increases Paul believes we should go back out to bid inordertogetthe
most cost effective price. I will be coordinating with procurement to get that bid process going and we
could have a paving bid complete in two months as the bid preparation takes a few weeks and the bid
must be advertised for at least 30 days. With all of this we are still working on the drainage repairs
associated with the 2020 and 2021 road repaving. Although this pavement plan has been delayed, it has
helped us continue to catch upon previous work so we are in a better position to move forward. As
Paul has pointed out and reference many times, my predecessor did not schedule the road repaving
properly and we have been trying to fix this ever since.
Here is a shortened synopsis:
PAVEMENT REVIEW TIMELINE
June — Report due
July— Received report

City Manager Evaluation comments areas follows
The evaluation form consists of four sections with questions related to each topic area which are to be
rated on a scale from 1 to S. For purposes of this rating a 3 means that you are doing your job and doing
it well 4's and S's are exceeding expectations and should be followed with comments/examples of
events that led to such a higher rating. On the Flip side a rating of 1 or 2 should detail
comments/examples where performance did not meet expectations. Having been In management with
the military and State government for 30 years I place an enormous value In rating performance.
Section 1 of the evaluation pertains to Relations with the Governine Bodv. I cannot speak for the rest of
the council only for myself. This has to do with Mr. Carlisle providing Information to the board. I do not
believe that It is done in a timely manner and he is not very forthcoming with Information. I believe he
holds items very close to the vest and does not let us know until it's too late and he is forced to reveal it,
At the February 22nd council meeting It was not brought to our attention that the strategic plan that
was in the making for four years was not actually a strategic plan and that we were way over budget.
This city spent $73,000 for nothing. The city manager was aware of this and failed to advise the council
of his failure to manage this project as he had outlined its' importance to a previous council in 2019
when the taxpayer money was authorized. At the March 8th council meeting the Stonecrop project was
brought to our attention that It was well over $400,000 overbudget. The City's 10 year trash contract
with Waste Management is expiring and my belief is that It was brought to the Council at the last
possible minute. Had the city manager been more proactive, this item could've been brought before the
council months ago, and at that time If we chose to go to a universal option, we could've opted to
request a bid for universal city trash pickup and Sebastian would have received bids from other waste
haulers; Sebastian is known as a subscription service city. Communication with the City Manager is
frustrating to say the least. Every time I ask about any concerns for agenda Items or progress of projects
it is all "sunshine and rainbows" or things are out of our control.
Section 2 relates to Oreanizational Relations and is broken into 3 parts
A.Fiscal Manaeement: I believe the budget is developed and prepared in a timely manner; however, I
think this is more a result of the chief financial officer, Ken Kilgore, who runs the process like a well-oiled
machine, and working in conjunction with the citizens budget review committee than the city manager.
As far as controlling operational and capital costs, I believe the city manager is falling and previously
referenced a strategic plan which was not a strategic plan, taking almost 4 years and having zero to
show for$73,000. Providing the council with timely and sufficient reports as they relate to the City's
financial status is another shortcoming. Next month will mark two years since the city agreed to spend
over $700,000 for a stormwater master plan. To the bestof my knowledge the city has received a partial
draft which is going hack -and -forth with our city engineer. Again, this is two years for a $700,000+
project which initially was thought to take no more than 17 months and this Council has still seen
nothing. My concern is the city manager is not driving these projects. He is supposed to have his "eye on
the ball" and keep us up to date on progress and concerns.
B. Personnel Manaeement is another area where 1 believe the city manager is lacking. We recently finish
the negotiations with the police union, and hopefully will be finalizing negotiations with the employee's
union. I understand that each entity recently changed unions and leadership; however, these
negotiations should have been started long ago and set as a priority by the city manager once they were
Initiated, and continuous negotiations until finalization not for as many months as it has taken. I have
l D 'AC .Il'
been a Council member for almost 12 years and prior to Mr. Carlisle had never received any employee
complaints about the city manager. I have received well over a dozen employee complaints and none of
them are willing to put their name to a complaint fgrfear of retrlblitip11 from this city manager.
C. Manaeine the oreanization: another area the city manager is failing. Every manager has their own
management style and what works for one may not work for others. Having watched Paul over the years
he tends to have an autocratic style with a tendency to "micromanage." This style can work, but one
needs to be "present" and "fully engaged." I am surprised that any work In the city of Sebastian is
accomplished on Fridays. I like to stop in to City Hall on Fridays and I believe I have caught the city
manager there once. It's an open secret that the city manager heads down south or to the west coast no
later than Friday afternoon and sometimes Thursday evening.
There appear to be two sets of rules for Sebastian employees: there are rules and expectations for every
employee In the city of Sebastian, but they do not pertain to him. He expects the employees to be at
their jobs and conducting city business and yet he does not live by the same.
The city manager has been allowed a city vehicle to drive anywhere in the state of Florida for business
and personal use as an addendum to his original employee contract from 11/28/2018. There is no
logbook associated with this vehicle. Through public records request I have attempted to develop a
logbook for this vehicle. For the years, 2020, 20,21 and 2022 the city spent over $9400 in gas for this
vehicle, almost $300 for Sunpass and the vehicle has traveled 78,000 miles. According to the re-created
logbook, his vehicle Is outside the city of Sebastian on approximately, 75%of the weekends over the last
three years. Sebastian pays for Mr. Carlisle to travel to his other homes and itemized gas receipts
support this. Shortly after the city manager started it came to his attention that a long-time city
employee filled up his personal vehicle at the city compound and he had to let him go. The city manager
relayed the situation to me and 1100%supported these actions. I voted for the addendum to Mr.
Carlisle's employee contract which changed vehicle personal use from 25 miles from Sebastian to
anywhere within the State. I never could have Imagined it turned Into this. What has happened is not
illegal justhiahW suscect. No other cny employee is afforded this benefit.
3. Relationships with the Public: I don't even know where to begin with this one. When the city manager' -
first assumed the position, there was an incident down at Captain Hiram's. The city manager called me
to apologize, stated that his actions were Inappropriate, and it would never happen again. Couple of
years later, a neighbor of his appeared at a Council meeting and during Public Input he outlined his
concerns about the city manager. After the meeting I went by the city manager's house and witnessed
everything the gentleman had spoken about for myself. A couple of months ago that same neighbor
sent an email to all the council members expressing much of the some thing and the problems that he
was having with the city manager about the managers boat on the side of the house. The city manager
purchased a sign that faced the neighbor's home and basically told him to have a nice day.
The city manager displayed inappropriate behavior and zero professionalism at the 2022 Florida League
of Cities conference which several other council members witnessed. I have had numerous complaints
from well -respected members of this city and other citizens regarding the city managers behavior and
actions. They requested their names not be made public for fear of retribution. And the belief that the
City Council is part of the "good old boy network", and nothing will happen.
4. Relations with Other Governments: One would think that after five years on the job this city manager
would have a much better relationship with the County. I know there are difficulties and differences of
opinion between the city and county for many issues; however, feel that Paul should have placed more
of a priority on this and more of a "presence" at County Commission and MPO meetings. The two
annexation processes are an example of this. Paul was only at 1 or 2 of the commission meetings when
It was discussed on their agenda and the County had multiple staff present whenever the annexation
was discussed on our agenda. Anybody can show up on someone else's turf during pleasant times; it's
when It is difficult or contentious times when a leader really makes their mark.
Sebastian requires the city manager to reside in the city of Sebastian. Why Is that? I believe It's to make
them be invested in our Sebastian, to drive around, like the rest of the citizens, see what's working, and
what's not working. Mr. Carlisle owns a residence in the city of Sebastian yet he does not "truly' live
here and that he is not vested in the city of Sebastian which I believe is indicative of his performance or
lack thereof.
I view this city Council as equivalent to the joint chiefs of staff. With Mayor Jones acting as the Marine
Commandant. If that body had a commander who was failing in fiscal management, morale, planning,
and relationships with the public, they would not leave that person in command or in a leadership
position. If they had a leader, who had one set of rules for the troops and another for himself, it would
not be tolerated. Any one of the Items mentioned is a problem, but the totality of these actions,
behaviors and attitude is way too much for me to continue to support Mr. Carlisle as the city manager
for Sebastian.

as follows:
Section I Relations with the Governing Body.
Section II Office ManagememlProfessionalism
Section III Relations with the Public
Section IV Legislative I Legal Relations
EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
At the top of the first page of the evaluation form there is a rating scale that provides the
basis for evaluating each of the twenty-eight (28) criteria, which are included under the
five major sections or areas. The scale ranges from "Does Not Meet Expectations", at
the bottom of the rating scale, to "Exceeds Expectations", at the top of the rating scale.
Numerical values are assigned to the scale ranging from #1 through #5, with #1
corresponding to "Does Not Meet Expectations", and #5 corresponding to "Exceeds
Expectations", and #3 corresponding to "Meets Expectations", and are the midpoint of
the rating scale.
Each section should be reviewed as to the area being evaluated and each item scored
independently. At the end of each area there is a comment section where the evaluator
can document achievements accomplished by the City Clerk or areas that need
improvement. In this area you are looking for strengths and weaknesses.
In finalizing the evaluation it is recommended that you not add the twenty-eight (28)
criteria that have been recorded under the four (4) major sections or areas to arrive at
an average score. You are not looking for an averaged combined score. You are
looking for strengths and weaknesses.
Pursuant to Resolution Number R-10-05, City Council shall receive evaluation fortes for
the City Attorney, City Clerk and City Manager, as well as the current cost of living
adjustment percentage being provided by the Coastal Florida Public Employees
Association, formerly Communications Workers of America (CWA) from Administrative

Subsequent to receipt of information provided as set out above, each City Council
member shall prepare an evaluation for the City Attorney, City Clerk and City Manager

appropriate. Each City Council member shall also conduct an oral interview with each

concern that are observed over the rating period so as to have a ready reference of

impartial evaluation to take place.
The last page of the evaluation form provides for an "overall" rating entry for City
Council members to record their comprehensive view or impression of the City Clerk's
performance using the rating scale as justification. This is the section where the
evaluator can document their suggestions for overall improvements, contentment of
work performed and recommends a salary increase If warranted.
