Mayor "Mickey" Feiner addressed the Board con-
cerning a letter from the Tourist Development Council
requesting a six months' extension on the Administrative and
Mail Fulfillment Contracts with Keys Advertising and
Marketing and asked the Board to also consider the
following:
1. Mail Fulfillment Contract
Adjust this Contract to the increase
proposed when this Contract was originally
submitted in 4/1/88. The monthly increase
I am asking for is $805.00 per month,
retroactive to 4/1/88. In addition to
this, an hourly rate increase from $5.00
to $7.00 per hour for employees working
extended hours.
2. Administrative Contract
This Contract would have terminated on
10/1/88. The TOC is asking the County
Commission to provide increases comparable
to what county employees were given for
the current fiscal year.
4 employees @ $1,035.00 each cost-of-living
increase - $4,140.00 Total.
4 employees' merit increases based on 4% of
total annualized salaries - $3,726.00 Total.
In addition, as of 10/1/88, a monthly increase of
$350.00 for rent that would have been absorbed
had the original contract been finalized. Total
rental to 6/1/89 - $2,800.00.
During discussion, motion was made by Commissioner Stormont
and seconded by Commissioner Lytton to continue both
Contracts on a month-to-month basis with no financial
changes, with any future Contract to be modified retro-
actively to October 1, 1988 if Keys Advertising is the suc-
cessful bidder and with an effective date of April 1st for a
NN 025
new Contract and to include the rent increases as requested.
During discussion, motion was withdrawn. Motion was then
made by Commissioner Stormont and seconded by Commissioner
Jones to continue the Contracts to April 1st with no
changes, with the exception of approval of a rent increase
as requested from October 1st to April 1st. Roll call vote
was unanimous. Motion was made by Commissioner Jones and
seconded by Commissioner Lytton authorizing the pay
increases as requested to be incorporated into the new
Contract, retroactive to October 1st, extending to April
1st, and that those pay increases be consistent with other
County employees. During discussion, motion was made by
Commissioner Harvey and seconded by Commissioner Stormont to
amend the foregoing motion to include the requested increase
of $5.00 to $7.00 for overtime payment in the Mail
Fulfillment Contract. Roll call vote on the amendment was
