Commission approves new internal auditor, automated driver‑record checks and fills opioid advisory panel seats
Summary
The commission approved an employment agreement for a new city internal auditor, authorized a contract to use Embark Safety for real‑time driver‑record checks and appointed initial members to an opioid settlement advisory committee. Approvals were unanimous and appointments begin staggered rotation for selection rights among commissioners.
The Delray Beach commission on April 22 approved several administrative personnel and procurement items and named members to a newly formed opioid settlement advisory committee.
Elena Georgiev was approved as the city’s new internal auditor; she introduced herself at the dais and thanked staff for the onboarding process. The commission approved her employment agreement unanimously.
The commission also adopted Resolution 61‑25 to use Embark Safety LLC, via a piggyback on Orange County’s contract, for web‑based, real‑time individual driver‑record checks for employees who operate city vehicles or receive vehicle stipends. Staff said the service will provide automated notices when a license is suspended or otherwise changes. The resolution passed unanimously.
Separately, the commission appointed initial members to the Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee. Commissioners used a rotation system to make appointments: Steve Kosovsky was named at‑large, Charles Ridley was named at‑large, Ariana Ciancio was appointed to represent police, Jeffrey Lefton (behavioral health director) was appointed as the mental‑health professional, and Joseph Mazzio was appointed as the fire representative. Staff will continue to advertise two remaining positions (a certified addiction professional and a health‑care professional) and return candidates to the commission when applications are received.
Votes and approvals were unanimous where recorded. Commissioners said they expected the new panels and systems to bolster administrative oversight and employee safety.
