06-16-89 v MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD AT CITY HALL, MANTIC BEACH, AT 11:00 AM ON
FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1989, FOR THE PURPOSE OF INTERVIEWING TWO APPLICANT'S FOR
THE POSITION OF CITY MANAGER
Present for the meeting were Mayor Gulliford and Commissioners Cook,
Edwards, Jensen and Tucker. Also present were City Manager Fellows, City
Clerk King, Committee Member Kerber and George Bull, Sr.
Mayor Gulliford called the meeting to order and confirmed that each
Commissioner had received a copy of a list of suggested questions which
covered a variety of subjects such as past experiences, relationships
with elected officials, employees and department heads and the press. It
was decided the Mayor would ask each applicant the listed questions, then
give Commissioners an opportunity to ask additional questions, and then
allow each applicant to ask questions of the Commission.
The applicants interviewed were:
Kim Leinbach of Green Cove Springs at 11:00 AM, and
Steven Aynes from Kettering, Ohio, at Noon
After the interviews the Mayor said that tentative interviews had been
scheduled for the following week, but since Mr. Fellows' retirement date
was very close he felt the Commission needed to move quickly. He said he
had received very positive comments about Mr. Leinbach and had been
cautioned about hiring someone outside the State of Florida because of
the lack of knowledge of the Florida Statutes such an applicant would
have.
Commissioner Edwards said he had spoken with three people at a recent
meeting of the Northeast Florida League of Cities and all three had
spoken very highly of Mr. Leinbach. Commissioner Tucker said she also
had received excellent comments.
In order that the Commission would be in a position to take official
action following the interviews on Wednesday evening, the Mayor declared
this meeting would be a special called meeting.
There being no further discussion, the Mayor declared the meeting
adjourned.

Maureen King, City Clerk
