Summary
City staff recommended hiring David Langley (transcript spelling variants present) as the city’s code enforcement special master and the council voted to authorize negotiation of a professional services agreement and to appoint the candidate, 5‑0.
City staff recommended a qualified candidate, identified in the packet as David Langley (transcript contains alternate spellings), to fill a vacancy as the city’s code enforcement special master.
The city administrator (speaker 10) described the candidate as a Florida attorney with experience in prosecuting and advising on code enforcement cases and participating in quasi‑judicial proceedings for Florida local governments. The administrator recommended either appointing the candidate and authorizing the city administrator to negotiate a professional services agreement for council review and final approval, or continuing recruitment; staff recommended option one.
The city attorney (speaker 5) and staff confirmed the candidate’s experience with other municipalities. The council moved and seconded the recommendation and voted 5‑0 to approve the appointment and authorize negotiation of a services agreement. Staff said compensation will be proposed through the budgeting process and the final agreement will return to council for approval.
The council recorded the vote and asked staff to return the negotiated professional services agreement for final approval before the candidate assumes duties.
