IV. Discussion of the Town Manager Interview Process., Richard Black
briefly outlined the interview procedure, suggesting that each
interview begin with an introduction of Commission Members by the Mayor.
He advised that the same basic questions should be asked of each
candidate in an orderly fashion, i.e. going around the table. Mr. Black
called attention to a list of suggested interview questions he had
prepared and added that the tone and direction of the interviews will be
produced, in most cases, by the chemistry which develops through the
exchange of questions and answers between the candidates and the
interviewers, resulting in a departure from the recommended battery of
basic questions. Mr. Black further suggested that a maximum of SO
minutes be allowed for each interview and that each be rated so that at
the end of the interview schedule, each Commissioner will have a first,
second and third choice. Mr. Black advised that the interviews should
focus on the candidates qualifications for the job and personal
questions should be avoided. In answer to a question from Commissioner
Hopkins as to how he determined which candidates should be interviewed,
Mr. Black replied that he used the Town's job descriptions for Town
Manager and Plannitg & Zoning Administer and information he obtained by
Town Commission - Special Meeting
July 11, 1997

talking to Mr. Harrington to prepare a profile of a mix of
administration and planning, and then picked the 6 persons whose resumes
fit the profile.
Mr. Harrington stated that while the manager is responsible for overall
C operation of the town, he has been more of a project manager. He added
that design and architecture are more important in Gulf Stream than
strict planning.
V. Town Manager Applicant Interviews. The Commissioners conducted
interviews in the following order: 1) Diane Dominguez at 8:30
A.M; 2) Terry Virta at 9:30 A.M.; 3) Colin P. Baenziger; 10:30 A.M.; 4)
Susan R. Boyer at 12:30 P.M.; 5) Kristin Kern Garrison at 1:30 P.M; and
Robert L. Norris at 2:30 P.M. Lunch was served at 11:30 A.M.
At the completion of the interviews, a discussion was held and Kristin
Kern Garrison was unimously selected as number one with Susan R. Boyer
unanimously selected as number two. Mr. Black suggested that at this
point, Mayor Koch should check references for Mrs. Garrison and,
conditioned on a favorable result, a meeting should be scheduled with
Mrs. Garrison to discuss salary and benefits. The Commissioners agreed
to hold a special meeting on Thursday, July 17, 1997 at 3 P.M. for this
purpose. They also agreed that should it be necessary to select a third
choice, they would like to hold additional interviews, either with some
of the candidates that had been interviewed or some that had not been
selected for the first interview.
A brief discussion was held regarding salary, etc. and the consensus was
to stay near the package that Mr. Harrington now has. The Commissioners
indicated that they did not favor a formal written contract.
VI. Adjournment, Mayor Koch adjourned the meeting at 3:15 P.M.

Mr. Harrington. He stated that all references were positive and there
was nothing negative apparent in the background check.

suggested that an annual salary of $62,000, with an evaluation to
follow in six months, be offered to Mrs. Garrison along with a $300 per
month car allowance, 20 days vacation and all other benefits to be the
same as those received by all employees. He added that this is
basically the same package that Mr. Harrington is receiving. The
Commissioners were agreeable to this. Commissioner Hopkins asked for an
explanation of how the "merit bonus" in the employee salary structure is
arrived at. Town Manager Harrington explained this in detail and
suggested that Commissioner Hopkins meet with him after the meeting to
review the spread sheets detailing this, which were in his office.

Mrs. Garrison arrived at this point and the salary and benefit package
was offered to her. Mrs. Garrison was agreeable to the package but
added that she had been giving additional thought to the commitment of a
minimum 5 year tenure in Gulf Stream. She stated that she had no
problem with this provided it is agreed that she be free to continue her
associations with the various professional organizations with which she
is involved, as well as the State and County Municipal Leagues and
Planning organizations. Mrs. Garrison explained that while there are,
and will be, many challenges in Gulf Stream, she does not want to become
stagnant. She felt that by remaining active in the various professional
organizations she will be kept abreast of current trends, proposals and
mandates that will be of benefit to the Town as well as to herself. She
assured the Commissioners that duties of the Town will most certainly
take precedence over meetings and activities of the various
organizations. The Commissioners were agreeable to Mrs. Garrison's
request.
