'Administrative Assistant Position Consideration Peter Gozza
reviewed the background on this request. A job audit had been conducted by
the Human Resources department and a new job title, job description and
salary range had been recommended as a result of the audit. Mr. Gozza
requested that the CRA Board follow the recommendation of the Human
Res ources Dep,artment and approve the item as submitted. The recommended
annual salary of $27,000 is due to the experience of the incumbent;. along
with being consistent with what other Florida CRA's are paying their
administrative assistants. After some discussion of the contract and the
wording of "one-time-payrnent", a motion was made, seconded and unanimously
carried to approve the job description, the change in status from City
employee to CRA contracted employee, the compensation as requested and the
"one time payment" of $1285.42 as requested and contrar.:.t approval will be
continued until the October 16, 1995 meeting

The "termination without cause" language regarding a change in status will
be reworked with City Attorney, Pam Akin and the contract will be re-
submitted at the October 16, 1995 CRA meeting.
~ 3rd Quarter Budget Amendment - Upon review of the 3rd quarter budget
amendments, which reflected the increase in operation costs primarily due
to expenses connected with the redevelopment plan, the relocation of the
eRA office and advance funding of FY 1995-96 administrative expenses, a
motion was made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve the 3rd
quarter budget amendment.

1995-96 Budget Approval - After some discussion of a "tag line" on
the public hearing notice, a motion was made, seconded and unanimously
carried to approve the 1995-95 CRA budget. A motion was made, seconded and
unanimously carried to approve Resolution #95-2 as it relates to the eRA
adopting an operating budget for fiscal year 1995-96.
Executive Director Annual Review Peter Gozza started the
discussion by requesting that changes be made to the "performance" column
of his 1995-95 goals & objectives. First change was to deduct 20,000
square feet in "Increase retail/entertainment utilization...". The 20,000
square feet represented office space not retail and/or entertainment as the
goal outlined. The second change was to address the "identify and solidify
leases for Harborview Center". Only one lease has been signed, the other
is stirl in negotiation. Chairperson Garvey questioned terminology used in
the marketing campaign goal. Goals for 1995-96 will be written with more
appropriate verbiage and will be submitted at the October 16, 1995 CRA
meeting. Trustee Thomas complimented Mr. Gozza on an "overall outstanding
job" and reiterated his concerns on the East End property being developed.
A discussion regarding the "bonus concept" took place. Chairperson Garvey,
Trustee Johnson, and Trustee Justice felt that a bonus program was not
appropriate and that the bonus should be part of Mr. Gozza' 5 salary.
Trustee Thomas stated that he was "pro performance bonus" . Trustee
Berfield suggested that since a three year contract with Mr. Gozza was
currently in place, that this issue could be discussed at a later date. A
motion was made, seconded and approved on a 4 -1 vote, with Chairperson
Garvey voting against, for a 77.5% of the $10,000 achievement bonus to be
paid to Mr. Gozza.
6. Executive Director Verbal Reports
None
7. Other Trustee Business
Trustee, Johnson expressed concern over Mr. Gozza's decision to run for
office for the Downtown Development Board. Trustee Thomas felt it was a
positive decision; the other board members felt it was \\Mr. Gozza's choice
to run".
e. Adjournment
Meeting was adjourned at 9:33 AM.
