Moved by Lada, Seconded by Brotman
Motion Carried unanimously
2. Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors
Chris Jorgensen, 92, W. 3rd St., expressed concern about scheduling conflicts when two city
board/committees meet at the same time.
Commissioner Stinson explained Interim City Manager Hogencamp is handling those conflicts
and has committed that those type of conflicts will not occur again.
Judy Workman, 787 Vecuna Rd., stated that she was there to find out what the Board Member
Review Committee’s function is. She expressed concerns about the way the board chairs are
elected and lengthy tenures of members.
Commissioner Stinson explained the Board Member Review Committee interviews interested
applicants and makes recommendations to the City Commission about appointing members. He
further explained the Committee’s current efforts to improve the process and standardize boards
and committees. He stated he would look into Ms. Workman’s concern regarding the election
process and get back with her.
3. Discuss the concepts proposed by the board chairs and liaisons to improve board
recruitment and retention.
Commissioner Stinson referred to the minutes from January 19, 2017, noting they do a great job
of detailing the concepts proposed by the board chairs and liaisons. He gave an overview of the
recommendations that were made by the combined group.
Commissioner Stinson explained all the boards/committees are an integral part of the process on
improving the way in which they recruit, retain, mentor, train and evaluate prospective board
members and then make recommendations. He explained the Board Member Review Committee
will need to discuss how they should integrate into the overall plan.
Recruitment
Commissioner Stinson asked members for suggestions on how this Committee can improve its
recruitment.
Mr. Brotman spoke about having the members recruit and recommend someone to replace them.
Commissioner Stinson agreed that it would be a great tool to have board members recruit by
making recommendations for a replacement six months before their tenure ends.
Ms. Lada spoke about producing a pamphlet that addresses board requirements as well as initiating
a marketing plan. She suggested setting up booths at some of the community events, such as Art
Walk or Arts in the Park, that draw a large portion of people from the community to recruit.
Ms. Bartle mentioned there was a lack of board applicants from the west side of Mayport Road in
the past and that the new Farmer’s Market on Mayport Road may be a venue that could serve as a
resource for recruitment as well.
Ms. Lada expressed she would like to see a consolidated list of City events and then suggested
working with the other boards to have a representative at each of those events. She believed that
by taking a rotational approach in doing some education, it would not be burdensome on any one
person or any one board and they would have shared responsibility.
Commissioner Stinson asked whether the Board Member Review Committee should be made up
of Chairs from the various boards/committees or have board service with the City of Atlantic
Beach before being appointed to this Committee.
Ms. Lada expressed while she could understand the qualities that having previous board service
may lend, it is more important to educate interested members about what the different
boards/committees do and how they function. She stated she did not feel that it was necessary for
incoming members to have previous service on a board/committee to understand its purpose.
Commissioner Stinson agreed it may be more important to look at what the perspective board
members motives and qualifications are for serving. He asked whether this Committee should be
involved in interviewing candidates interested in serving on the Board Member Review Committee
and make recommendations to the Mayor.
Mr. Brotman explained why he did not believe it would be helpful to the Mayor. He suggested
that if the Mayor requested nominations for perspective board members that would be appropriate.
He also stated he would not have been able to serve on this committee had there been a requirement
of previous service in Atlantic Beach.
Discussion ensued about reviewing the ordinances; changing the rules related to committees and
boards to make them consistent throughout; and streamlining the process for appointing members.
Mr. Brotman stated he would like to see all the boards and committees have the same exact rules.
Commissioner Stinson agreed and reported his plan to use the City Attorney’s help with
standardizing the various boards and committees.
Mr. Brotman addressed Mr. Jorgensen’s concern, explaining the need to schedule the different
board meetings so there are no conflicts.
Ms. Workman stated she attends various board meetings and commented that each board does not
know what the other boards are doing. She believes that the boards are not a cohesive element.
She further stated very rarely does she ever see members of the other boards at Commission
Meetings and felt that they do not know what the repercussions of their decisions are to the
Commission and vice versa. She questioned how many board meetings a person attends before
applying to that board.
Mr. Brotman asked Ms. Bartle if the Committee and Board meeting minutes are placed in the
Commission agendas packets. Ms. Bartle stated they are not. She explained the minutes are online
and various meetings are video-taped and accessible on the City’s website. Mr. Brotman asked if
the minutes from all the various boards could be placed in the Commission packets and sent
electronically. Ms. Bartle stated it is customary that they put only the items that the Commission
will be addressing in the packet and can access all of the meeting minutes at any time on the
website. Mr. Brotman suggested that the Commission be reminded about what the various boards
are doing.
Commissioner Stinson asked Mr. Brotman if he was asking that we share the individual
committee’s and board’s agendas and minutes with the Commission.
Mr. Brotman stated yes, so that they know what is going on downstream from them.
Ms. Bartle understood Ms. Workman’s concern to be that the people on the boards do not know
what the other boards are doing.
Ms. Workman stated she felt that the written word does not depict exactly what took place and
believes you almost have to see it. She explained that the Mayor sat in on the last Community
Development Board Meeting and observed the workings of the board. She felt that needs to be
done once in a while just to see the dynamics of the personalities and what is going on. She
expressed concern about the way they vote. She believes they should be asking questions and
doing homework on the things that they are voting on.
Commissioner Stinson summarized the list of the high points from the previous meetings minutes.
Training
Ms. Lada spoke about specialized training and the need to understand special requirements so that
the BMRC can ask those things of the perspective candidates as well as other pertinent questions.
She believes training should be a requirement and that there be a deadline associated with it.
Commissioner Stinson suggested that it could be a part of the evaluation process. He spoke about
the Board Member Review Committee defining a schedule for the coming year so people can plan.
There was discussion about utilizing online training for Sunshine Law and Ethics and possibly
making it public by providing the link on the City website and in the City newsletter.
Mentoring
They discussed the concept of having outgoing members mentor incoming members and Sunshine
Law. Commissioner Stinson indicated he would ask the City Attorney about the limitations and
regulations on communications between elected officials and committee/board members.
Evaluation
Commissioner Stinson spoke about videotaping the meetings, ranking the interviewees and having
representatives from each board and committee present an annual report to the City Commission.
Ms. Bartle referred back to Mr. Brotman’s inquiry about each boards minutes being placed in the
agenda packet and suggested, rather than putting all of the minutes in the packet, including a list
of all of the boards and committees with the times that they met and instructions on how they can
locate the minutes on the website.
Mr. Brotman explained the need to inform the Commission about what the boards/committees are
doing.
Commissioner Stinson stated that one of the committees mentioned they wanted to come before
the Commission and give a short synopsis of what they had accomplished because the
acknowledgement and recognition by the Commission was important to recruitment.
Discussion ensued about standardizing the rules to include each board and committee giving an
annual report to the Commission.
Ms. Lada reported that the evaluation side of this process drew differing opinions. She spoke
about the need to evaluate as to whether you have an effective board or committee or not explaining
the importance of the attendance report, self-evaluation, and having the board/committee chair
evaluate each member.
Mr. Brotman suggested they contact Rena Coughlin, an Atlantic Beach citizen, who owns the Non-
Profit Resource Center of Northeast Florida for the forms they may need.
Ms. Bartle stated the evaluations would have to be public record.
Ms. Lada stated the purpose for the evaluations is to receive constructive feedback.
Commissioner Stinson stated he will reach out to Ms. Coughlin and see if she can come to our
next meeting.
Retention
Commissioner Stinson reported on the previous suggestions which included recognizing members
with plaques and certificates at Commission meetings; moving the Cultural Arts and Recreation
Advisory Committee meetings to the Commission Chamber; expanding and normalizing the use
of alternates for all boards and committees and possibly restructuring the Cultural Arts and
Recreation Advisory Committee due to lack of participation and difficulties meeting a quorum.
Mr. Brotman explained why he believed the Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee
should be two separate Committees. There was a discussion about Sunshine Laws and alternates.
Discussion ensued about the Board Member Review Committee coming up with an overall plan
and giving it to the City Attorney to standardize across all the boards and committees.
Commissioner Stinson requested that Ms. Bartle send the Board Member Review Committee
members all of the governing documents that created each Committee and how they are structured.
Ms. Bartle stated she would resend the Board Member Review Committee Notebook by email.
There was consensus from the Committee to utilize city email addresses (coab.us) for each Board
and Committee member.
There was further discussion about the process.
Chris Jorgensen, 92, W. 3rd St., thanked Commissioner Stinson for his time. He would like to
see the Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee meet in the Commissioner Chamber and
the Board Member Review Committee contact the selected candidate(s) while the meeting is still
in session. He spoke against expanding boards. He wants to see more use of technology in board
meetings and notices of meetings posted on the bulletin board at Tideview Park. He complimented
the work of this Committee and the combined group for their recommendations from the last
meeting. He spoke about the importance of planning in advance for loss of members.
Judy Workman, 787 Vecuna Rd., explained her understanding of what the Board Member
Review Committee (BMRC) is responsible for. She expressed concerns about the members of the
BRMC not attending any other board/committee meetings in order to understand their function
and dynamics. She explained she is currently an alternate member of a board and is very frustrated
to the point that she does not want to be a member anymore. She would like to see candidates who
are educated and do some homework be appointed to boards. She stated we need free thinkers, not
inbred people. She questioned whether the Board Member Review Committee process looks for
that. She believes the BMRC needs to be functional and make the other boards better, or it should
be disbanded.
Commissioner Stinson responded to Ms. Workman’s concerns and explained the Board Member
Review Committee’s current process and goal to improve all of the boards and committees. He
thanked Ms. Workman for her comments.
Ms. Bartle stated it also includes improving the Board Member Review Committee.
Mr. Brotman expressed his pleasure and honor to serve on the Board Member Review Committee.
Commissioner Stinson thanked Mr. Brotman for his excellent service to the Board and wished him
well.
Ms. Lada thanked Mr. Brotman as well.
Adjournment
There being no further discussion, Commissioner Stinson declared the meeting adjourned at 7:30

Call to Order
Commissioner Stinson called the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m.
1) Courtesy of the Floor
Commissioner Stinson opened Courtesy of the Floor.
Chris Jorgenson 92 W 3rd St., thanked Commissioner Stinson for holding these very important
meetings.
2) Attendee Self Introductions
It was determined that everyone know each other so introductions were not needed.
3) Unfinished Business
a) Review of typical annual timeline for board member selection and
appointments.
Commissioner Stinson reported the timelines as follows:
January 1st would be the effective date for terms and there would be alternating
expiration dates to maintain consistency;
Work through the year with mentors;
Recruitment during the third quarter;
Interviews and appointments approved by Commission in October;
Training in November to be ready to take their seat on January 1st; and
Board Appreciation in December.
The Committee discussed the timeline, length of terms, term limits for each board and committee, and
the idea to standardize terms.
1
City Attorney Durden reported the length of terms and term limits as follows:
Code Enforcement Board: Serve 3 year terms, 3 year term limit.
Community Development Board: Serve 2 year terms, 4 year term limit.
Pension Boards of Trustees: Serve 4 years, no maximum term limit.
Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee: Serve 2 years, 2 year term limit.
Board Member Review Committee: Chair’s serve a 1 year term, no maximum term limit.
Members 2-4, Serve 2 year terms, 2 year term limit.
5th member rotates.
6th member is the City Clerk, no maximum term limit.
City Attorney Durden stated she felt that the four year term for the Pension Board is different because
they are highly specialized and come with a fiduciary responsibility. She felt that a shorter three year
term might be more appropriate for other boards and stated that it is good to have some turnover in
order to have a new perspective.
Commissioner Stinson introduced Judith Leroux, Chair of the Beautification and Natural Resource
Preservation Advisory Committee.
After a lengthy discussion, the Committee decided that terms and term limits do not need to be the
same for all the boards/committees and to continue with allowing termed out members to come back
to the same board after sitting out for one year.
The Committee spoke about changing alternates so that they can fill regular member vacancies without
going back through the process.
b) Presentation of the Board Member Review Committee synopsis recommendations
to the group.
Commissioner Stinson explained the BMRC recommendations were provided to everyone and
explained he would like to hear the comments from the other Boards and Committees.
c) Capture individual board recommendations and requests regarding recruitment,
training, mentoring, evaluation and retention as charged in the Board Member
Review Committee meeting of the 19th of January 2017.
i) Code Enforcement Board
Mr. de Luna reported the recommendations were not discussed with the Code Enforcement
Board yet, but should be discussed at the next meeting. He spoke in support of recruitment and
training.
He explained that the last Code Enforcement Board meeting was very long so his board was unable to
discuss recommendations, but plans to address it at their next meeting. He spoke in support of
recruitment and training and liked the idea of former members mentoring incoming members.
Mr. de Luna believed the board chair should play an integral part in the selection of the members to
their particular board.
2
The Committee spoke about standardizing the attendance policy, defining excused and unexcused
absences among all boards and committees, and ways to document absences.
ii) Community Development Board
City Planner Reeves stated his group individually commented on specific ideas regarding recruitment,
training, mentoring, evaluation and retention. He reported the following comments from Community
Development Board members:
Board Member Linda Lanier
Liked the idea of community development activities;
Mentioned that Jacksonville Beach does an annual bus tour with their residents, where specific
staffers visit different parts of the city like the utilities plant and the public works yard to help
them understand how the city functions;
Believed it would be beneficial to have a manual given to new board members to explain their
role, responsibilities and procedures of specific boards;
Would like to see regular training for Sunshine Laws and Ethics;
Liked the idea of the mentor program but expressed concern about the Sunshine Law issues;
Approved of the evaluation process;
Likes the annual reception and awards for retention, but felt that retention was the lowest
priority issue to be addressed; and
Would like a push to get younger generations active on boards.
Board Member Kelly Elmore
Agreed with all of those points.
Board Member Sylvia Simmons
Agreed with all of those points
Added that she thinks there has been a reduction in Ad Hoc Committees, (short-term/temporary
committees), which has reduced the number of people interested in serving, because they
provide a breeding ground to gain some experience in public service for a short term and might
help them do a longer term commitment.
Expressed there should be diversity among the boards, not only including professionals but
active community members serving as well, to advocate community interests.
Believed that, for the Community Development Board, there should be an educational
component for the legal ramifications of the decisions they make.
Board Member Kelly Elmore
Agreed with the legal suggestion from Ms. Simmons.
Chair Brea Paul
Agreed with Ms. Lanier about bringing in the younger generations; and
Suggested finding a way to bring professionals to the board.
Board Member Sylvia Simmons
Countered Ms. Paul’s suggestion regarding professionals, noting that we do not want just
professionals on boards; wants active community members who have a desire for a certain
outcome for the community.
3
Ms. Paul spoke about the need for training on ethics and the Sunshine Law and the ramifications for
decisions they make. She reported the board supports recruitment, mentoring, and evaluation. She
added, she would like to encourage citizens to come and speak at the Community Development Board
meetings during public comments.
iii) Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee
Recreation and Special Events Director Timmy Johnson stated he did not get any comments from the
Committee, but he and Mr. Healy had a discussion about alternates and reducing the number of
members. They want to reduce the number of members to seven and add one alternate. They also
requested a reduction in the number of meetings. Mr. Healy spoke in support of recruitment, training,
and establishing criteria and a process for granting requests for funding. Discussion ensued about
establishing a policy.
Mr. Johnson spoke about the challenges the Committee has while planning events and having to call
meetings due to the Sunshine Laws.
City Attorney Durden explained the Sunshine Law does not prohibit members from social gathering at
events, members just cannot discuss anything that may foreseeably come before the board to vote on.
Commissioner Stinson inquired about structured changes to the Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory
Committee where they have an executive committee on that board that makes decisions and votes and
another associate member that can talk about the details.
City Attorney Durden suggested they appoint a one person sub-committee.
Mr. de Luna suggested having one group be the actual committee making decisions and the hands on
members being separate from the committee.
Mr. Healy stated the ordinance encourages members to participate in the events. He explained that the
members not only create the event, but also participate in the event which makes it difficult as it relates
to the Sunshine Laws.
iv) Pension Board
Commander Vic Gualillo complimented his pension board members. He spoke about recruitment
typically being by word of mouth. He explained their training is structured so that the members can
attend training twice a year and covers Sunshine Law and Ethics. He believes mentoring is an
interesting concept, but was not discussed as much because most members have specialized knowledge
beforehand. He agreed with the Board Member Review Committee Members regarding evaluations
and the Chairs having tremendous insight. He stated retention for the Pension Board has taken care of
itself and is not opposed to term limits but a longer term for the Pension Boards makes more sense. He
believes the Board is very happy and is open to the changes that have been discussed.
4) New Considerations
a) Beautification and Natural Resource Preservation Advisory Committee (BNRPAC)
i) Status
Commissioner Stinson explained Ms. Leroux is here and her Committee is in the process of forming a
new Committee. He inquired as to how many members they would be appointing. Ms. Leroux stated
4
they are currently evaluating procedural items, but would like the number of members to be a fixed
number instead of a range.
Ms. Paul encouraged a thorough review of any proposed legislation so that it is clear and there are no
gray areas. There was discussion relating to the differences in the roles of the Boards/Committees and
the concern of creating a new Committee with overlapping roles. City Clerk Bartle offered to email
Ms. Leroux a packet that included the literature for all of the boards.
b) Change in structure of standing committees?
City Planner Reeves reported there have been conversations about having a Special Magistrate for Code
Enforcement and asked if that was up for consideration. City Clerk Bartle explained the Commission
began conversations about the topic, had a workshop on it, it was put on a Commission Agenda, and
then, because of time challenges, was dropped off the agenda. Mr. de Luna stated the current structure
of the board operates very well and believes it could handle just about anything. He explained the
Board is made up of volunteers which means the City does not have to incur expenses. Mr. de Luna
did not have information about the discussions, so he did not want to comment about the Special
Magistrate. Commissioner Stinson offered to send Mr. de Luna some documentation. Mr. de Luna
reiterated his comments about the board being able to handle just about anything. He explained they
add their individual perspectives and believes their decisions have been good.
c) Quasi-judicial training requirements and needs.
City Attorney Durden explained the need for training, orientation, and education of the Committee
members. She agreed that orientation is needed and liked the idea of having all the members come in
at the same time. This would allow the opportunity for doing really good orientation that would cover
training, ethics training, voting conflicts and Sunshine Law and believes it should probably be on an
annual basis. She further stated the two boards that handle a lot of quasi-judicial matters, would need
very different training. Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee, Board Member Review
Committee, and Pension Board will not need the quasi-judicial training. In the case of a Pension appeal,
the Board has special counsel to handle that. The City Commission will need it because they conduct
quasi-judicial matters. She explained that ninety percent of Code Enforcement Board and Community
Development Board’s decisions are quasi-judicial and believed the quasi-judicial training should be
separate from the other training and happen sooner rather than later.
5) Miscellaneous Business (Discussion Only)
a) Draft Ordinance changes necessary to affect recommendations of the Committee.
i) Projected budget to draft changes.
ii) Implementation timing
City Attorney Durden explained, based on this meeting and what she heard, the number of changes that
would be necessary to the current Ordinances and Resolutions do not seem extreme when considering
changes to the number and length of term and the number of members, alternates, and meetings per
year. She explained that when we start getting into comparing Beautification Committee and
Community Development Board powers and duties and their scope of review, and changing what the
Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee does, that gets more complicated. She inquired if
there would be subsequent meetings or if this is the last meeting. She explained she is not sure if she
has all the comments and suggestions to consider and did not feel comfortable moving forward yet.
Mr. Healy suggested she address each committee and then have each chair review the language.
5
_____________________________
Ms. Paul stated she would like to have a written document of the changes to present to her board as a
whole to review.
City Attorney Durden inquired whether the Board Member Review Committee should clearly lay out
a set of recommendations and vote on them before moving forward to the next step which would be the
revising.
Chairman Stinson believed there should be a document prepared that reflects the information gathered
from the two meetings and provide it to the boards/committees in June so they can either agree with it
or make changes to the proposal.
The Committee discussed what the process should be going forward and the need to come up with an
amount needed to fund the program so the amount can be proposed in the budget. The Committee
would like to get the document in April to take to their individual boards/committees for comments,
and then have the Board Member Review Committee, along with the appropriate Chairs, discuss and
vote on the final recommendations.
6) Reports
Commissioner Stinson reported that the Commission presented awards to three termed out members at
a recent Commission meeting and he hopes to continue doing that.
7) Adjournment
There being no further discussion, Commissioner Stinson declared the meeting adjourned at 8:24 p.m.

I have served on many non-profit boards in my career; currently Treasurer of Pine Castle and Treasurer of Oceanside Rotary. I am
a member of the UNF Student Affairs committee and was recently appointed by Mayor Curry to the Library Board of Trustees.
In my professional life I am an economist functioning mainly as an investment consultant to 42 clients, with about $2 billion
under advisement. I currently consult to many public pension and retirement plans.
While I do not advertise this fact, I am also a Florida certified attorney. During my limited free time I still practice some law
on a stricly pro bono basis.
It may sound presumptuous, but I believe I would be a perfect fit on either or both of your Pension Boards. My experience
in the world of economics, public accounting, finance and law would lend itself nicely to such service. That being said, my
main goal would be to add value to the Board, with the ultimate goal of keeping the promises we have made to so many
public servants who have dedicated their lives to making ours better.
With regards to any conflicts of interests, I have none. Furthermore, my firm is closed to new business, so there would be no
intent on my part to ever financially gain from such a position. I appreciate your consideration.
