Commission approves short advisory contract for outgoing manager Terry Ashley
Summary
The board approved an as‑needed advisory contract for outgoing County Manager Terry Ashley at $125 per hour for up to 90 days, to assist the incoming manager and provide continuity during transition.
The Hardee County commission authorized a short, as‑needed advisory contract with outgoing County Manager Terry Ashley on June 30 to assist the incoming manager through the transition. A motion to offer a contract at $125 per hour for a 90‑day term starting July 5, 2026, was moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
Commissioners described the arrangement as hourly and "as needed" rather than a locked multi‑day fee. One commissioner suggested limiting administrative signatories so that advisory hours are verified through a single gatekeeper — the board agreed Holly would serve that role initially. "I'll move that we offer a contract to Mr. Terry Ashley to provide advisory services to the County Manager at a rate of $125 per hour for 90 days effective on 07/05/2026," a commissioner said during the motion.
