AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Ratification of Interchange Agreement with Village of Islamorada to
assign Employee Services Director Bryan Cook to the Village to serve as Interim Village Manager on a
temporary basis; also, authorization for County Administrator to sign additional future documents
including extensions of the Agreement beyond the initial 60-day term.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
On August 3, 2023, the County entered into an Interchange Agreement with the Village of Islamorada,
to loan Employee Services Director Bryan Cook to the Village to serve as an Interim Village Manager
on a temporary basis while the Village begins a search for a new Village Manager. Interchange
Agreements between public employers (state and local governments) are allowed under F.S. 112.24.
The County previously used an interchange agreement to assign County employees to work at
Poinciana Gardens after the closure of Bayshore Manor.
The key terms of this Interchange Agreement are as follows:
- The initial term of the Agreement is 60 days. Thereafter, the Agreement will be reviewed by the
Village and may be extended in additional terms of 60 days if both parties agree, up to a maximum of 2
years and 3 months (set by statute).
- The Village reimburses the County for all costs, including salary, income tax, employment taxes, and
employer deductions, e.g., FRS contribution. Cook is paid at the salary level of the former Village
Manager for work performed for the Village. (He keeps his current salary for work as Director of
Employee Services.)
- Cook remains an employee of the County and will return to his current position at the conclusion of
the Agreement. However, in the interim, he will work up to 100% of his work week for the Village, as
necessary.
- The Agreement may be terminated by either parry on 30 days' notice to the other parry.
The County Administrator signed the Agreement for the County and the Agreement was approved by
the Village Council at a public meeting held on 8/3/2023. This agenda item now asks for ratification of
the County Administrator's signature, and authorization for the County Administrator to sign renewal
23
agreements as necessary.
