ICMA Range Riders - W.E. Pete Knowles - City_Mallagcr
Recruitment
W.E. Pete Knowles, ICMA Range Riders, gave a presentation on the
services Range Riders can provide. He asked whether the City Council was
searching for a professional City Manager, whether it had met and agreed
on a City Manager profile and whether it had established goals and
objectives for the City. He reconunended a selection committee made up
of various individuals selected by the Range Riders rather than the City
Council; said the Range Riders can supply a selected list of candidates and
provide proper procedures, questions for candidate interviews and a model
employment agreement; recommended copies of the City's budget be
mailed to finalists; and stated there must be terms in the agreement to allow
termination of the City Manager.
It was the consensus of City Council that it wants a professional City
Manager.
Mayor Firtion explained how they invited the Range Riders to speak
tonight. He said it had been his idea to have the City Manager and
Personnel Director meet with Mr. Knowles and now understood that this is
not the process suggested by the Range Riders.
Mr. Knowles recommended that each City Council member screen each
applicant. He stated that he or another Range Rider would be willing to
meet with individual City Council members if that is how it wishes to go.
Mayor Firtion requested that a Range Rider be present when City Council
establishes a profile and Mr. Knowles repeated they can advise and assist.
Mr. Halloran asked whether Mr. Knowles could submit a suggested profile.
Mr. Knowles said he could submit a list of recommended characteristics of
a "leader."
Regular City Council Meeting
December 6, 1995
Page Four
95.180
Mr. Knowles suggested that the profile be in writing by December 15 and
that City Council meet and concur on a profile so that the Range Riders can
review the applications using that criteria.
Mayor Firfion suggested adding discussion of the City Manage profile to
the December 14, 1995 workshop. Vice Mayor Corem said she was unable
to attend on the 14th. It was the consensus of City Council to meet on
December 15, 1995 at 6:00 p.m.

Schumann Football Field (City Manager Transmittal 11/6/95,
Panthers Agenda Package}
The City Manager gave a brief presentation addressing issues raised by the
Panthers organization in its submittal.
Maura Raborn, 155 Harris Drive, Sebastian, said the two most important
issues were lights and restrooms and were brought at this time because
Schumann Park is still a viable alternative if improvements to Barber Street
are still two to three years down the road. She said the Panthers were
willing to absorb the cost of lights but if restrooms cannot be completed
they are reluctant to sign a lease for Barber Street at this time.
The City Manager said it was up to Council to decide whether to use
contingency funds to construct restrooms in this fiscal year. He said the
tennis courts must begin in 1996. He said he would need a lighting plan
from the Panthers due to resulting increased insurance costs.
6
Regular City Council Meeting
December 6, 1995
Page Seven
Discussion took place on ownership of the subject lights. Mrs. Cartwright
suggested the City establish the lighting plan.
The Public Works Director suggested a qualified lighting expert look at the
fixtures rather than staff.
Chuck Neuberger said the lights had been stored at the City garage for five
years and are in bad shape, suggested a GE rep draw a lighting diagram.
He said he believed the lights are the property of the Little League but
stored by the City. He said there is another set of lights rusting at the Golf
Course.
The City Manager said the Public Works Director could look into the cost
of a new septic system and facilities.
Mayor Firtion suggested the $6~000 savings on the Barber Street Sports
Complex bid be used for these projects.
George Zaleuke, 937 Gardenia, Sebastian, said children are changing into
uniforms in the woods due to lack of facilities at Barber Street Sports
Complex.
Tom Hall, Fellsmere City Councilmember, said officials should take the
ball and work to establish recreation activities for children to keep them
active. He urged formation of a recreation advisory committee. He said
Indian River County had hired a pm-time athletic director for the Fellsmere
area and that it has been a great asset.

Vice Mayor Corum noted there is no money budgeted and suggested that
maybe the community can come up with a plan to assist with funding.
Mrs. Cartwright recommended the formation of an advisory committee.
Mayor Firtion suggested that the issue be discussed during discussion of the
Indian River County recreation agenda item. Mrs. Cartwright said the
committee could work with Indian River County in an advisory capacity.

that fiber mesh will be used rather than wire.

Jack Regan Masonry in the amount of $57,415.50 with a reduction of

was the better material.
MOTION by Damp/Corum

When asked, the Public Works Director said asphalt was less expensive and
nOted the rest of bikepaths in the City are asphalt.
Discussion took place on whether or not rejection of the previous Pan
American bid set a precedence for this project because they did not bid on
concrete.
Mr. Halloran questioned the quality of the work recently done by Pan
American on Easy Street.
Mayor Firtion suggested the amount for sod be deducted.
