        \n
      1. Executive Director Position<\/strong> \u2013 D. Elliott<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Charlie Dorminy provided a response to a question he had been asked by Commissioners at a previous time.\u00a0 Mr. Dorminy stated that as per the Executive Director\u2019s agreement, the Executive Director is an employee of JWSC not an independent contractor.\u00a0 He is employed through a contract, but it states through the contract that he is an employee and would be subject to any other benefits that regular employees are subject to.\u00a0 Mr. Dorminy added that he is not subject to the personnel manual as specifically outlined in the contract.<\/p>\n

        Baylie Lane from Teamwork Services, Incorporated updated the committee on the advertisements for candidates for the open Executive Director\u2019s position. She provided that the ad was placed on the Georgia Association of Water Professionals website at a cost of $75 for a 30 day ad, Water Environment Federation website at a cost of $295 for a 30 day ad, American Waterworks Association at a cost of $249 for a 45 day ad, Georgia Rural Water Association at no cost, the JWSC website, and also in the Brunswick News at a cost of $100 for a 30 day ad. \u00a0Mrs. Lane also noted that there have been six qualified responses at this time. \u00a0Commissioner Harvey questioned the deadline of September 15, 2019 as indicated in the advertisements.\u00a0 After some additional discussion as to the deadline given, the implications, liabilities, and if the advertisement should be revised to \u201copen until filled.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Committee Chairman Elliott provided a document outlining the hiring process used in selecting the previous three Executive Directors.\u00a0 The hiring of the most recent Executive Director was handled differently in that staff buy-in was included.\u00a0 Staff was directly involved in interviewing and recommending the candidate for selection.\u00a0 The Commissioners were in favor of the process as outlined for the hiring of the new Executive Director, and Commissioner Harvey also indicated he favored the staff involvement in the process.<\/p>\n

        Regarding the deadline of September 15, 2019, Commissioner Elliott questioned if the current advertisement should be changed.\u00a0 If it is left with the deadline, there is an implication that the position would remain unfilled until that time.\u00a0 Baylie Lane suggested that she could edit the current advertisement to reflect \u201cSeptember 15th<\/sup> or until filled.\u201d\u00a0 The committee agreed with the edit.<\/p>\n

        Commissioner Elliott asked Chairman Turnipseed to provide an invocation for the Lalley family.<\/p>\n

        With no further business to discuss, Committee Chairman Elliott adjourned the meeting at<\/p>\n
