MINUTES OF THE OCOEE CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL SESSION HELD
JANUARY 26, 1989
The special session was called to order by Mayor Ison at 9:44 p.m.
in the conference room.
PRESENT: Mayor Ison, Commissioners Combs, Dabbs, Hager and
Johnson, City Manager Bateman and City Clerk Grafton
ABSENT: None
Mayor Ison advised that, after listening to the commissioners
interview candidates on Monday and Wednesday, he had made a list
of the qualities they were looking for in a City Manager. As he
read the list aloud it became apparent that the person the
commissioners were looking for would be someone who could be all
things to all people and, in the process of doing so, would offend
no-one. Commissioner Dabbs commented that the only thing not
listed was the ability to walk on water. The serious consensus was
that the greatest need was for someone who could talk with and
work with the citizens of Ocoee and also handle the growth the
City is experiencing.
Of the 8 candidates interviewed, it was determined that 2 should
be contacted for a second interview: Mr. John Klaiber and Mr. Kent
Myers, both of Converse, Texas. City Clerk Grafton was instructed
to make travel arrangements for the candidates to be in Ocoee for
the weekend of February 4 and 5 and to set up appointments for
commissioners to meet individually with them at that time.
Commissioner Johnson advised that he would be in Texas this
weekend and he would go to Converse and talk to some of the
citizens there. Mayor Ison suggested that the City should pay
Commissioner Johnson's expenses in Converse and all agreed without
a formal vote.
