Richard Johnson presented a proposed new job position, Horticulturist, which he is proposing
for the next budget year . He explained this position is part of a succession plan for the current
Horticulture Supervisor, who plans to retire in the next couple of years. Johnson informed that
there are no employees interested in or qualified to assume this position . Given the importance
of horticulture to Fairhope and its beatification, he will seek a highly qualified individual to fill
the newly created position. The Horticulturalist posit ion would be eliminated if and when this
individual assumes the horticulture supervisor posit i on .
The Board held a video conference with Ms. Maria Tamblyn , HR manager for Auburn
University's, Government and Economic Development Institute (GEDI), in regard to their
proposal to conduct a personnel study for the City . A variety of topics were d iscussed including :
scope of work, timeline, compliance with state and federal employment laws, summary wage
data to be presented in a final report, and maintenance requirements once the system is in
place . Following this discussion , the Board voted to recommend that the Council and Mayor
engage GEDI for the personnel system study and following the conclusion of that study, the
performance management system and training project . Both of these projects have been the
top priority personnel needs identified by the Board for the last four years , and it is the Board's
opinion that the GEDI is well qualified to perform these studies .
At 6 :45pm a motion was made and second to adjourn
Respect f ully Submitted,
John Manelos
