MINUTES OF THE OCOEE CITY COMMISSION WORK SESSION
HELD JUNE 16, 2004
Call to Order
Mayor Vandergrift called the Work Session to order at 5:14 p.m. and announced the purpose
of this session was to discuss the employment agreement which was under negotiation with
Robert Frank for the position of City Manager. City Clerk Grafton called the roll and
declared all to be present.
PRESENT: Mayor Vandergrift, Commissioners Anderson, Howell, Johnson, and Parker.
Also present were Acting City Manager Williford, City Attorney Rosenthal, City Clerk
Grafton, Community Development Director Wagner, Human Resources Director Diedrich,
and Deputy Public Works Director Zaitooni.
Discussion Re: Terms of the Employment Agreement with Robert Frank
Acting City Manager Williford listed the backup documents provided for this discussion:
(1) summary from Labor Attorney Reynolds Allen listing the items Mr. Frank has noted as
needing further attention;
(2) the most recent draft of the Agreement;
(3) Mr. Frank's original proposal;
(4) a spreadsheet requested by Commissioner Anderson showing what the City provides over
and above the negotiated salary, and the costs of Mr. Frank's requested items.
The details were reviewed and consensus was reached in each issue. As Mr. Frank had
arrived and was waiting in the lobby, he was invited into the Chambers to complete the
negotiations.
Discussion with Robert Frank regarding Employment Agreement
Acting City Manager Williford reviewed the provisions and advised Mr. Frank the
Commission had reached the following decisions regarding his concerns:
(I) Vehicle - $600 car allowance with no requirement regarding the age;
(2) Equipment - City will provide cell phone;
(3) Deferred Compensation - City will contribute 10.95 % ;
(4) Personal Leave - start accrual at 8.31 and increase in 10 years;
(5) Termination - add "legal" as requested;
(6) Miscellaneous - revise moving date to April 1, 2006.
Mr. Frank indicated those provisions would be satisfactory and he would be willing to sign an
agreement with those changes. He added he would prefer to give at least three weeks notice to
his current employer, Seminole County, as they were aware of these negotiations and would
probably not require more notice than that.
After a brief discussion regarding scheduling, Mayor Vandergrift called a Special Session for
Monday, June 21,2004, at 6:30 p.m., and said the Commission would give Reynolds Allen
