8 ACTION ON RESOLUTIONS
8A. Resolution No. 21-56
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION OF AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH DONNA BARTLE AS CITY CLERK
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2021; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE
DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH
DONNA BARTLE AS CITY CLERK; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Human Resources Director (HRC) Cathy Varian reported on the contract negotiations,
changes, and proposed employee agreement as included in the agenda packet. She
explained the conflict between the City Charter and the City Clerk's 2004 job description
(which are attached hereto and made part of this Official Record as ATTACHMENT
A) in regards to who the city clerk reports to. She reported on ways other cities are
structured.
Discussion ensued regarding the need for evaluation factors to match the employment
agreement, reflecting supervisory responsibilities in the job description, adjusting the
employment agreement to match the Charter and any Charter amendments, and attaching
a position description that would be a living document.
CA Durden noted she likes the idea of attaching a job description and allowing for future
changes that the Commission may want to make by resolution. She reported the need for
several edits and offered to work with Ms. Varian and Ms. Bartle to bring back an
amended agreement, or go through each item tonight if the Commission wants to approve
a contract tonight. Responding to Commissioner Norris, Ms. Durden confirmed that this
is her first time offering feedback and she had not had a chance to review it very closely.
There was discussion about providing feedback and having a revised contract come back
to the Commission.
Commissioner Bole requested having language about the City Clerk and City Manager
working together.
Discussion ensued about the charter officers being directly under the Commission and
the challenges of Commissioners not being at city hall and having to discuss a charter
officers' performance in the public.
Mayor Glasser pointed out that the summary in the City Clerk's 2004 job description
includes language that work is performed under the general supervision of the City
Commission and City Manager and explained that she agrees with that. She reported
being told that the City Clerk wanted to remove the part about reporting to the City
Manager. She noted her opposition to the change and believed it to be a red flag.
Commissioner Kelly suggested the language "in coordination with".
Regular City Commission
October 25, 2021
Mayor Glasser questioned why the City Clerk requested it be removed. CC Bartle
explained how and when she noticed the conflicting language in the 2004 job description.
She explained that the City Clerk has never worked under the City Manager; she does
not know who put the language in the job description; and that her request was to correct
the job description, not make a change to how we have always operated.
In response to Mayor Glasser's inquiry as to whether the City Clerk would be willing to
work under the general supervision of the City Commission and City Manager, CC
Bartle asked what that means and Mayor Glasser looked to staff for clarification. CA
Durden explained how she and the City Manager work together.
HRD Varian addressed Mayor Glasser's concerns, noting that she believes CC Bartle
asked for the change in order to clarify language in the job description which is not very
clear. If the Commission wants the day-to-day supervision, such as submitting leave
slips to the city manager, we can make that more specific in here. Mayor Glasser spoke
in favor of having the City Clerk submit her leave slips to the City Manager.
CC Bartle reminded the Commission about the Charter spelling out who the City Clerk
gets direction from. Mayor Glasser mentioned she will be making a recommendation to
the Charter Review Committee about this issue.
HRD Varian reminded the Commission about the handout of the Charter (Secs. 28-30).
CA Durden referred to the Charter and confirmed that it is under the general direction of
the City Commission, but believes it would be appropriate for the City Commission to
say they want it to be under the general supervision of the City Manager.
Mayor Glasser requested that the City Clerk's schedule and working from home be
addressed under the City Manager's direction as well. Commissioner Kelly understood
it to be a reaction to COVID. Mayor Glasser expressed her concern about a red flag of
communication. HRD Varian indicated she could include that in the revised version. CC
Bartle explained it is not changing anything that is already being done and she doesn't
want to do anything without the Commission knowing about it. She indicated she has
not been given any guidance on whether it is acceptable to work from home. She
explained what prompted the proposed language, noting a personal leave scenario that
she had asked HR about that the City has no policy for. She recognized the language
could seem a little overreaching and suggested making change to that area. She also
explained scenarios in adjusting schedules to offset late night meetings, which others are
allowed to do. She reiterated her desire to clarify and was open to amending the language.
Mayor Glasser explained Charter Officers have different expectations put on them in
terms of getting the job done. She reiterated her concerns about a communication issue
needing to be addressed; believes the City Clerk is a well -compensated employee; and
expressed desire to help with a contract. Mayor Glasser explained HR Director Varian
has done a far better job than they could have done to push the negotiation along. Mayor
Glasser recognized it has gone on for too long and took responsibility for it; thanked
HRD Varian for bringing back a contract that actually resolved a lot of the issues;
Regular City Commission
October 25, 2021
believes there is tremendous progress; and reiterated the great job done on the 5% percent
adjustment to offset the leave issue. Mayor Glasser also thanked CC Bartle for working
with Ms. Varian on this.
Mayor Glasser spoke in favor of having the Commission direct the City Manager to do
general supervision in terms of scheduling and leave. CA Durden read language from
the Charter and 2004 job description, noting it could be done.
HR Director Varian clarified the changes. Mayor Glasser spoke about CC Bartle
working a lot of hours.
HRD Varian explained the automatic increase provision. Mayor Glasser asked HRD
Varian to share the salary and employment history of the city clerks of the neighboring
beach cities and HR Director Varian reported information from Neptune Beach and
Jacksonville Beach.
CA Durden spoke about bringing back a revised agreement. She explained the need to
add language in the agreement that makes the $14,000 item subject to approval of a
budget amendment. She indicated there are other changes that are not critical to discuss
tonight unless the Commission wants to.
Commission Norris inquired about the process going forward and suggested that CC
Bartle meet with each commissioner separately in order to hear some of this out and to
see what concessions or conditions she will need to make to the contract before bringing
it back to a public arena. CC Bartle explained the problem it caused by not getting
feedback ahead of time and not being able to contact Mayor Glasser after finding out
earlier today at 4 p.m. that Mayor Glasser had concerns. Commissioner Norris spoke
about the awkwardness; the fantastic job getting here; and the difficulty of being a
Charter Officer and having to be your own best advocate. She advised CC Bartle that
she should ask for what she wants and be prepared to concede. She highly recommended
to CC Bartle that this go before the city attorney; when there are no issues there, meet
with each Commissioner to gain their insight; and when you come back, ideally, there
will be no issues or awkward conversations happening in public.
HRD Varian recapped, explaining she will make some changes, get input from CA
Durden, come to an agreement, the City Clerk will meet with each Commissioner for
more input, and then come back.
There was a brief discussion on bringing it back to the next meeting; however, it was
noted that HRD Varian would not be available. CA Durden explained the effective date
can be made as October 1, 2021 even with it being further delayed. Mayor Glasser
advised that she thinks they are almost there; reported she had suggested that it be
continued since she just learned about things today too; and a lot of work has been done
and Ms. Bartle has made concessions on some things.
HR Varian asked if the Commission was good with the overall big changes and they
confirmed.
Regular City Commission
October 25, 2021
Commissioner Kelly commented that some of the situations are particular to Ms. Bartle
and her work ethic and if we had a different City Clerk, it might be a different
negotiation. She added, for future Commissions and new City Clerk, there might be
other work to be done because she believes not every Clerk is as dedicated as Ms. Bartle.
There was consensus to bring the revisions back on November 22, 2022.

was overlooked when the previous deputy city clerk's job title was changed to deputy
city clerk. She confirmed the requirement in the City Charter and expressed the need to
clarify whether the staff in her office works for her or the city manager, which became
confusing after hearing comments made earlier tonight about her contract.
