Experience
As Troup County Manager I am responsible to the elected five man Board of Com-
missioners of a county with a population of 50,000 persons. My responsibilities as
County Manager include administrative control, fiscal management, purchasing, per-
sonnel administration, grant application and administration, etc. , for a county
government with 150 employees, an inmate population of 95, and a annual budget of
$4,000,000. Since I am Troup County's first County Manager my initial responsibilities
have included the development and establishment of many needed administrative and
personnel policies for the Commission. During my tenure a personnel department has
been established, uniform purchasing policies developed, and an employee fringe bene-
fits package (including life insurance, health insurance, and a retirement system)
has been initiated. The Troup County Fire Department and Emergency Medical Service
have been greatly improved and put on a sound operating basis. All of these were
accomplished were very little or no tax increase for each of my six years as County
Manager. Through the efforts of many others as well as myself the 1% Local Option
Sales Tax and the Freeport Amendment were adopted by Troup County voters. I have
worked closely with the local legislative delegation, the Chattahoochee-Flint APDC,
and state and federal officials in the development and administration of over
$12,000,000 in grants for Troup County. Some of the agencies which have participated
in the funding of Troup County programs and projects include:
Georgia Department of Natural Resources
Law Enforcement Assistance Administration
Economic Development Administration
Bureau of Outdoor Recreation
Callaway Foundation
Georgia Department of Transportation
While serving as Troup County Manager I have coordinated Troup County's involve-
ment and represented Troup County as a member of the Board of Directors of the Com-
munity Action Agency and the Chattahoochee-Flint APDC.
For the following I have the direct responsibility for management, budgeting,
purchasing, and personnel administration:
Troup County Street and Road Department
Troup County Personnel Department
Troup County Finance and Bookkeeping Department
Troup County Recreation Department
Troup County Correctional Institution
Troup County Vehicle Maintenance Garages
Troup County Sanitation Department
Troup County Tax Assessor
Troup County Building Official
Troup County Fire and Rescue Department
Troup County Emergency Shelter
Troup County Juvenile Probation Office
Troup County Planning Commission
Resume of Jack M. Crook
Page 3 •
Troup County provides funding for several authorities , elected officials , centers ,
etc. , and I have varied indirect management responsibilities for these, including
personnel administration, budgeting, and general administration. Included in these
are:
Troup County Health Department
Troup County Extension Service
Troup County Sheriff
Troup County Jail
Troup County Emergency Medical Service
Troup County Small Claims Court
Troup County State Court
Troup County Youth Treatment Center
Troup County Airport
Troup County Industrial Development Authority
As Colquitt County Administrator my responsibilities and duties were similar to
those I have as Troup County Manager but on a somewhat smaller scale. Colquitt County
had an annual budget of $2,500,000, 95 employees, and an inmate population of 70.
The experience I gained as a regional planner for the Southwest Georgia APDC has
proved invaluable by providing me with the opportunity to work with both municipal
and county governments. In this position I provided technical assistance to both for
federal and state grant applications, grant administration, program and project
planning and implementation personnel administration, budget preparation, and fiscal
administration. I was also responsible for preparing an areawide plan for the 14
county area.
While employed by the Daugherty County Department of Public Safety, I attended
college full-time. I had both investigative and administrative responsiblities.
In summary, I believe my experience and background have provided me with ex-
cellent qualifications in public administration and management. I appreciate a
challenging situation and look forward to an opportunity to demonstrate my abilities.

RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS TO THE ATLANTIC BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FROM THE ADVISORY PLANNING BOARD
1. Include BACKGROUND section at the beginning of the Comprehensive Plan
document (attached) .
2. Delineate Planned Development Area on the Land Use and Traffic Circu-
lation Map, and insert new paragraph on Page 40, Volume II, as
follows:

has been designated on the Future Land Use Plan Map as Planned
Development Area (PDA) . Some of these lands have been considered
in the past as Planned Unit Development (PUD) and are so designated

process established by the City of Atlantic Beach zoning ordinance
for each PUD within the designated area."
3. Amend the Land Use and Traffic Circulation Map and Traffic Circulation
Map, Volume II, Page 51, as follows:

collector street, and change Seminole Road from Selva
Marina Drive to Saturiba Drive to a minor collector
street.

(c) Remove 11th Street from the present City waterworks loca-
tion west to Donner Road.

BACKGROUND
Atlantic Beach launched its planning program in 1975 to fulfill the require-
ments of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975 (LGCPA) .
The City retained a professional planning consultant to provide technical
assistance to its Local Planning Agency (LPA) and financial assistance was
obtained through a Comprehensive Planning Assistance Grant from the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development under the provision of Section
701 of the Housing Act of 1954, as amended. The project was administered
by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) .
Volumes 1 and 2 of the Atlantic Beach Comprehensive Plan under this contract
were published in June 1976. Numerous meetings were held by the L.P.A. with
the consultant, which were open to the public. Advertised public hearings
were held on April 22, 23 & 24, 1977. Revisions and additions to these
volumes were published November 1977.
Volume 1 consists of very detailed information of population, economy,
physiographic and environmental conditions, existing land use and structural
conditions. This information formed the foundation upon which the required
elements of the Comprehensive Plan were developed. This volume also includes
the Housing Element.
Volume 2 contains the remainder of the required elements prepared under this
contract. These elements are: Future Land Use Element, Traffic Circulation
Element, Recreation and Open Space Element, Utility Element, Conservation
Element and Intergovernmental Coordination Element.
The Coastal Zone Protection Element was not included in this contract because
it was expected at that time that the Jacksonville Area Planning Board (JAPB)
would prepare this element as a part of its plan for the county.
The LPA formally accepted these plan elements after public hearings but did
not submit them to the City Commission for adoption. It was decided that
the submission to the City Commission should await the completion of the
remaining Coastal Zone Element. Due to the creation of the Northeast Florida
Regional Planning Council in 1977, responsibilities of the JAPB were changed and
this element for Atlantic Beach was not included in their plans.
In October 1978, Atlantic Beach retained the services of a professional planning
consultant to revise and update, where necessary, the completed elements and
prepare the Coastal Zone Element. As a part of this review, the Housing and
Land Use Elements were submitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) for certification. This certification was required for the City to
receive additional 701 planning funds. The DCA noted several deficiencies
which required extensive revisions and additions to the Land Use Element. After
numerous meetings of the LPA and its Citizen Advisory Committee, this element
was revised and certification was received on April 17, 1980.
It should be pointed out that some of the costs for the work carried out during
1979 and 1980 were supported by a LGCPA grant from DCA.
The LPA held another public hearing on June 3, 1980 and formally submitted the
revised Plan to the City Commission.

Due to the numerous changes and additions to the original planning elements,
the LPA felt that a Summary should be prepared to assist the City Commission
during the adoption process. Volume 3, Summary, focuses on the goals,
objectives and policies as set forth in each of the elements, specific plan
proposals and measures that will be required to implement the various
proposals. Background statistical data are not included in this volume.
It should be noted that "Planning Area" is referred to in various sections
of the Comprehensive Plan. This planning area includes certain contiguous
areas outside the city limits of Atlantic Beach. The inclusion of these
areas in the Comprehensive Plan is for discussion purposes only and not to be
construed as a part of the adopted Comprehensive Plan.

Suprlement to Resume ' of Earl F. Wagner
All of the cities that I have managed have provided and operated
Water distribution and Sewerage disposal systems. Waseca and
Negaunee owned and operated the electric utility. Wayzata and Fridley,
under a Minnesota state law permitting municipalities to have a
monopoly on the sale of alcoholic beverages, owned and operated the
Bars and Off Sale stores. Wayzata had one Bar and one Off Sale store,
and Fridley had two Bars and four Off Sale stores. bet profit was
transferred to the City 's operating budget to reduce the property tax
requirement. Waseca and Three Rivers owned and operated municipal
hospitals.
During the 1960 - 1970 Census decade, Fridley was the fastest-growing
city in the United States. For 7+ years of that period I was the
city manager, and all planning for that growth was done by my office
and the citizen planning commission without a full-time Planner or
planning staff, and without the services of a planning consulting firm.
On May 6, 1965 between 7:10 P.M. and 9:00 P.M. three tornadoes moved
through Fridley totally destroying 527 homes, 2 schools, several
industrial plants and commercial enterprises, and badly damaging
nearly 1 ,000 structures. As the city manager I was responsible for
the recovery of Fridley from this disaster. Working with an excellent
City Council and dedicated city employees recovery was rapid, and our
efforts were highly praised by all who were in a position to observe.
This was considered to be the third worst disaster in the history of
Minnesota.
As the first city manager of Waseca I was responsible for organizing
the city government to function within the requirements of the new
Charter. The Charter was approved by the electorate on June 1, 1968
and I became the first city manager on October 1, 1968. Hobert A.
Bieszczat, one of the associates of Paul A. Reaume Associates (P. A. R. A. ;
succeeded me as the city manager in Waseca, and very probably would
be happy to discuss with you the type of work I did in getting Waseca
off to a good start ander it=" new Charter. In fact, F.A. L. A.
recommended me to Glendale heights for an interview principally because
of my work in Waseca. Mr. Bieszczat ' phone number is 312/283-1121 .
I have dealt successfully with many labor unions including Minneapolis
and Detroit Teamsters; Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; Finnesota
Nurses Association; Minneapolis Local 49 of the Boilermakers, and the
fraternal Order of Police.
1 have been active in working with the City Attorney and a codifying
attorney in several cities in codifying the City' s ordinance's.
1 was President of the Minnesota City Managers Association in 1951;
chairman of the Negaunee Winter Carnival in 1956; Charter President
of the .Fridley Rotary Club in 1963; and a member of ICDA since July 1,
1952.

ztop ;the revolving door
s Yet another name, that of Glendale Heights Village Admin. Earl
'Wagner,has been added to the long list of employes who have a betrn
Bred or driven out of the Village of Glendale Heights. •
In the past three years, the village has gone through three
dministrators, two police chiefs, two finance directors and two
cation center directors—and that's just hitting the high points.
In most of these cases,the village board has claimed the dismissed
employe has not lived up to the board's expectations of his
performance.
Yet it is the same village board which hires these people.
Perhaps the village board ought to reflect on the standards it uses
to choose employes for the village.Obviously,its track record hasn't
been very good.
Or perhaps the expectations of the village board with respect to
people it hires have been too high. Even the best of employes
. nnot be expected to meet inflated expectations.
Or, perhaps the board hires the best professional people it can
afford, and then sacks them when it turns out a professional is not
content to serve as a "yes man" to a bunch of amateur politicians
who style themselves as experts in all phases of village
administration.
in newly-appointed Police Chief Daniel McCollum, the board has
the opportunity to turn around the village's revolving door personnel
situation. McCollum is a highly qualified, dedicated professional. He
will provide the service Glendale Heights residents deser4 �
ef he is -`
-allowed to.The village president and trustees must provide him the
