A quorom of the Committee was present consisting of the following: _ Paul Andrews, Chairman James Billings Charles Cobb Armando Codina Lon Worth Crow Advisory Committee Melvin Gordon Stuart Patton Athalie Range Alexander McW. Wolfe James Connolly Andrew Scalese City of Miami Andrews opened the meeting by accepting the minutes of the previous meeting and commended McW. Wolfe for his letter to the Mayor., addressing the role of the Advisory Committee. It was moved and accepted by the Advisory Committee to construct a resolution and attach the McW. 1•;olfe letter, which defined the role of the Advisory Committee and present it to the :Mayor. 1. Committee's Procedures for Recommendation for Executive Director Andrews explained that the committee members would have to review and recommend candidates for the position. Crow asked if there was a professional group that were considering the applicants. Andrews responded that Human Resources Dept was the only one screening the applicants. x Fi 8o-s29 Some members related that they felt a professional group could be of great help other than a straight advertisement. McW. Wolfe asked if a salary range had been established. Connolly responded that the position was presently budgeted in the $37,000 to $45,000 range. General consensus was it was too low a range for the position. Andrews suggested that the City draw up a letter from the City of Miami along with the advertisement and send it to 30 or 40 of the top facilities in the country, in hopes of getting additional responses. Cobb suggested that the Dept of Human Resources assigned a staff and a leader to aggressively conduct a vast search by phone calls and other methods. Further, some support data should be gather to support the present salary range and a time schedule to accomplish this. Andrews: the would then have an initial screening by Human Resources than it would be our objective to reccmmend six or so of the top applicants to the City ~Manager for final selection. Cobb moved that these items be initiated and get underway. Patton suggested Hyatt be advised and asked if they have any input in this process. Codina raised a question if Connolly had a conflict of interest in that he was applying; for the position and involved with selection. Connnnlly pointed out he is not involved with the selection and in fact all will go thru Asst Director of Human Resources, Carlos Arauz. 2. Expiration of Term for Three Members of Advisory Committee. Andrews stated that in accordance with the Resolution #79-57 which created the Advisory Committee, the one year term members has expired. These people are Paul Andrews, Carlos Arboleya (replaced by Armando Codina) and James Billings.
