SEPARATION UPDATE
Debbie Krueger and Ken Killgore have reviewed the exempt policies and Mr. Rich Stringer's
employment contract and have calculated a severance payout of $65,857.49. This amount is
itemized as follows:

NOTE: The "Current Payout" reflects payment for FY 08 and FY 09 earnings as October 1 marks the fiscal year and the
COLA adjustments. Also, this is an estimated payout, as the computer system will incorporate pro-ratio for accrued sick
and vacation time earned during the current pay period.
This severance payment will be paid to Mr. Stringer in two checks on the next payroll day of
Friday, October 17, 2008. At Mr. Stringer's request, I will authorize one check for severance pay
and the other check for accrued benefits. Should you have any question about this information,
please contact me at your convenience, prior to the end of next week.
MOVING FORWARD
Sally Maio has already established a Special Meeting for Monday, October 13, 2008. The
agenda and notification for said meeting would be published tomorrow. The agenda will first
consider an Interim City Attorney contract with Mr. Robert A. Ginsburg. Second, the meeting
establishes a period for Council to discuss the City Attorney recruitment process. Finally, I am
taking the liberty to agendize the FWS Grant Agreement for the Indian River Drive/Main Street
Project.
In moving forward with the recruitment, the process can be broken down into 4 phases. First,
hiring and placement of an Interim City Attorney. Second, advertising the position of City
Attorney. Third Review/Interview/Selection of the City Attorney. Finally, approval of an
employment agreement and starting date of the new employee. It is reasonable to expect the
process to take between 90 -180 days. In fact, 90 days for the replacement of such a position is
a fast track.
PHASE 1 -HIRING AN INTERIM ATTORNEY (OCTOBER 13T" -DAY 1)
To move the process quickly forward, I have taken the liberty, as directed by Council at the
October 8, 2008 meeting to contact Mr. Robert A. Ginsburg. As you know, Mr. Ginsburg is a
widely respected municipal attorney, currently serving as our Special Magistrate. Mr. Ginsburg
and I had an initial conversation earlier today and he indicated that he would help the City of
Sebastian in this interim period. To further that endeavor, I have prepared and attached a
"proposed agreement" for legal services. I have not presented this document to Mr. Ginsburg. I
think it will be helpful to have this document in place for the meeting on Monday for the parties to
amend, modify and agree.
Please provide any feedback or input you have. The basic concept was to have Mr. Ginsburg
available for staff for 10 hours per week, present at Council and other meetings and assisting in
our current major issues (ISBA, Fellsmere and the Comprehensive Plan). The proposed
compensation is a plan that provides those basics services and conserves financial resources.
Essentially the agreement allots $75 per hour for 60 hours per month, plus $400/monthly expense
allowance -payable in bi-weekly installments. Again, I have not presented these figures to Mr.
Ginsburg, I will be in touch with him tomorrow to inform/iron-out some of the agreement concepts.
Of course all items are contingent on final Council approval.
PHASE 2 ADVERTISING AND RECRUITMENT (OCT 13 /NOV 14 -DAY 30)
There are several recruitment schools of thought. Professional head hunting firms can be used,
which generally require an RFP process. Cost for such search can range from $10,000 -
$25,000. Advantages to these searches are more detailed interview materials/preparation,
background checks, and deeper applicant pools. On the other side of the coin the consideration
is additional time and cost. Further, I also have confidence that with Sally Maio, Debbie Krueger
and myself, your existing staff can organize and execute a good search in short order at no cost.
This is just an item/idea to consider.
On Friday, I will present Council with a draft advertisement. Upon your approval it can be
submitted into the work place. Suggestions for advertisement are the International City
Management Association Newsletter, Florida League of Cities Data Gram, Florida Bar
Publications and other legal periodicals. Please note that athirty-day recruitment period is
necessary to generate enough time to gather applicants. Also, a running time line can occur as
highly qualified applicants apply.
PHASE 3 -REVIEW OF APPLICANTS (LATE NOV/EARLY DEC -DAY 45)
Even if every effort is made to start the recruitment process now, the City Council election is only
26 days away. As such it can be considered a conclusion that the attorney recruitment process
will end with the next Council. Nevertheless, the next step is a process similar to the previous
City Manager or Special Magistrate searches; whereby resumes are forwarded to Council, ranked
publicly and invitation to interview are scheduled. Because this is a formal charter position, I
would recommend an extend period for interviews, community introduction of candidates and final
selection. With a potential deadline for applications of November 14th, Thanksgiving holidays
may interfere with the interview process. Hence, formal interview may be scheduled for late
November-early December.
PHASE 4 -FINAL SELECTION (DAY 55)
The culminating event is obviously Council appointment and contract ratification. A potential
target date for contract approval may the December Regular Meeting of Wednesday, December
10, 2008. After contract ratification, the applicant may need to provide at least 30 days notice to
a current employer, enabling a new Attorney to start sometime in January 2009.

anew City Attorney. The dates and concepts are providing to guide Council and give talking

Council. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please contact me at your earliest
convenience.
