AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Philip Morley, County Administrator
DATE: September 8, 2015
RE: Resolution Delegating Certain Job Titles and Responsibilities to the Interim
Director of Community Development, David Goldsmith
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Board of Commissioners approval is requested for the attached
proposed Resolution which delegates the titles and responsibilities of the Director of the
Department of Community Development to David Goldsmith during his service as Interim
Director of that department.
ANALYSIS: Carl Smith is retiring as the Director of Community Development (DCD) on
September 25, 2015. David Goldsmith has agreed to serve as Interim Director of DCD while the
County conducts a search for a new permanent DCD Director. The proposed Resolution is a
companion to a Professional Services Agreement engaging Mr. Goldsmith as Interim Director of
DCD, and the Resolution formally delegates to him the authority to perform the responsibilities
of the position under County code and State law.
FISCAL IMPACT: The delegation of authority has no direct fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the proposed Resolution
