Trustee Fitzgerald felt that the Executive Director position should devote 100%, effort to the CRA business and also felt there could be the risk of compromise due to the nature of the job and was therefore opposed to permitting outside consulting. Trustee Thomas was opposed because he, also, felt that the Exec Director position 'deserved 100% concentration and would prefer offering greater compensation versus creating a freelance opportunity. Trustees Berfield, Garvey and Chairperson Deegan had no opposition to this issue, although Trustee Berfield requested an agreement be drawn up that would protect the city of Clearwater. Alan zimmett, City Attorney, suggested that this issue could be addressed in Mr. Gozza's contract and will draft a paragraph addressing same.
