Authorization for Manager to Contract with a Personnel Search Firm(s) During BOCC Summer Break The Board considered authorizing the Manager to contract with a personnel search firm(s) during the Board of County Commissioners' summer recess from June 27 until August 21, 2007 for the vacant Emergency Services Director position and the vacant Economic Development Director position. Commissioner Gordon asked if it was feasible to contract with the same firm. Laura Blackmon said that she is not sure yet. There is a list of generalist firms and specific firms. The goal is just to have help identifying a skill set and motivation for a position like the Economic Development position. With the Emergency Services position, she is looking for someone to assist in identifying and soliciting applications from a wider pool. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to authorize the Manager and staff to proceed with the steps necessary to identify a personnel search firm(s) for the vacant Emergency Services Director position and the vacant Economic Development Director position; authorize the Manager and staff to negotiate with the firm(s); authorize the Manager to sign a contract(s) with the preferred firm(s); and direct the Manager to report back to the Board in August regarding the firm(s), costs, and the hiring process timetables. VOTE: UNANIMOUS gg, Budget Amendment #14 The Board considered approving the budget, school and county capital project ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2006-07. Commissioner Nelson asked if these items were surprises and Laura Blackmon said that most are predicted and some have to wait until the end of the year to be done. Budget Director Donna Coffey said that this is the most important budget amendment that is done throughout the whole fiscal year. She said that none were surprises. Commissioner Nelson said that he has an interest in getting items in a timely manner and the County Commissioners need time to review this information because the buck stops with the Board of County Commissioners. He said that there was a problem caught today in an abstract and it was corrected, but it is important for the public and the press to have this information ahead of time to review. He said that it is really important how people perceive the County as being transparent. A motion was made by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to approve the budget, school and county capital project ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2006-07 for Housing and Community Development, Alternative Financed Capital Project Ordinances, Alternative School Capital Project (Orange County Schools), County Related Capital Project Ordinances, ERCD related Capital Project Ordinances, Orange/Chatham Justice Partnership Program, and Effand Sewer Enterprise Fund. Laura Blackmon said that there may be issues with the audit and there will be a review of this item. Commissioner Gordon said that she would like to discuss this item now. ~' Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 32 and asked about the revisions for the West Ten Soccer Complex. Donna Coffey said that she emailed these to the County Commissioners. Commissioner Gordon said that there are three different projects related to this question about transfers of Homestead Aquatic Center budget to other items. She said that there were two other items that should have an asterisk to flag those items, and these are on page 39 and page 42. She said that Chapel Hill did not need aquatic center funding as soon as thought, so it was assigned to other projects in the tune of a little over $3 million. The problem is when this money comes back. She thinks that ail of the projects that have the assignment "Transfer from Homestead Aquatics Center Project" should be transferred back. She said that it is extremely confusing. Also, on page 39, the Northern Park project, and page 42, Greenway Development Reserve, there are transfers. She suggested putting asterisks to flag the items or transferring the money back. Donna Coffey said that these are transfers from a previously approved project. She suggested putting asterisks that these are from 2001 bond funds. She said that she could work with Commissioner Gordon this summer to clarify these issues. VOTE: UNANIMOUS 5. Public Hearings a.
