BCC Meeting March 14th 4 PM (SoWal)

[John G]

It was reported at the meeting that Mr. Bourne withdrew for personal reasons before any discussion of salary or before he came down here. I believe that Larry Jones said Mr. Bourne withdrew on Thursday before a planned trip down here on Saturday.

Mac Carpenter is next in line for negotiations.

OK, thanks for the info.

I thought the female candidate was 2nd in line....

The above is a very plausible cenario.

With Bourne not accepting the position, where was the beakdown? What was he offered for compensation?

I'd have thought that would have been on the original job posting, at least a salary range?

Also, did we wind up paying for him to travel here too?

Well in typical, predictable form Tony made the motion to go out for more applications seconded by C. Jones. That failed because the other board members agreed to follow the established protocol of going with the next highest rated applicant. After the miscount and corrections to the vote that left Mac Carpenter as #2 and now front contender for the position.

Supposedly they are suppose to go through the interview process again and I was told at that time applicants would be thoroughly vetted. Had Mac Carpenter been thoroughly vetted to start with in my opinion he wouldn't have made the top 5.

I also spoke with another Commissioner today who told me they had done a through background check on Carpenter and found nothing. Then I told same said Commissioner I had hard copies of what they COULD HAVE FOUND if they had actually done a background check.

So...where to from here is anyone's guess.

She was until they discovered a miscount.
