TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA
Minutes of Meeting of Town Commission
RECESSED REGULAR MEETING
Tuesday, December 11, 1984 10:00 A. M.
The Recessed Regular Meeting was called to order by Vice Mayor
Mary Louise G. Blosser at 10:25 A. M. in the Town Commission
Chambers at Town Hall. Also present were: Commissioners John J.
Basso, William E. Paul, and Betty Jean Stewart. Mayor Louis Y.
Horton was absent.
Also present were: Deputy Town Clerk Elizabeth L. Kolek and
the general public.
Vice Mayor Blosser read a Memo into the record from Mayor Horton,
dated December 10, 1984, which included additional information
gathered about three of the finalists (other than the present
Acting Town Manager who is also a finalist), #64 (Proctor), #58
(Williams), and #5 (Von Drak). The Memo also stated that Mayor
Horton told the three finalists that the Town would reimburse them
for their expenses incurred far their interview with the Town on
December 18, 1984, when all three finalists stated they would be
available to be interviewed by the Town Commission. (Mr. Hunter,
#12, withdrew his application.) After discussion, the consensus
was to arrange interviews for Mr. Proctor (#64) and Mr. Williams
(#58) and hold all others in abeyance until some decision is
reached regarding Mr. Proctor and Mr. Williams.
Commissioner Basso stated that the Town Commission neglected to
allocate an increase in salary when the Town Clerk was appointed
Acting Town Manager, since he felt all personnel who are required
to take on additional duties and responsibilities are entitled to
an increase in salary.
Vice Mayor Blosser stated that when the Building Official position
was vacant, the Building Inspector carried additional duties and
was paid only an additional lump sum of $500.00 and felt the Town
Commission might not want to set any precedents by their actions.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Basso/Commissioner Stewart that
the Acting Town Manager be paid an additional amount for services
performed as Acting Town Manager, suggesting an amount of $500.00
a month ($125.00/week) from when she was appointed. Discussion
ensued and it was agreed that more discussion was needed and
advice and a recommendation from the Finance Director is necessary
before the amount can be determined. All Commissioners voted NAY.
