DESCRIPTION
Polk County Ordinance 06-024 (the "Polk County Procurement Ordinance) and the Polk County Purchasing Procedures Manual governs the purchase/procurement of goods, services, supplies, equipment or materials and construction projects. Section 4. N. of the Polk County Procurement Ordinance allows for deviation from the Polk County Procurement Ordinance and the Polk County Purchasing Procedures Manual upon approval of the Board of County Commissioners (the "Board"). The proposed resolution makes a finding that it is necessary to deviate from the Polk County Procurement Ordinance and Purchasing Procedures Manual to allow for an independent review of the Polk County Fire Rescue Division including the management of the division by the County Manager. The proposed resolution would authorize the Board Chairman to inquire about services from consultants to review the Fire Rescue Division to include:
i. Review of the general management of the Fire Rescue Division.
ii. Review of the standard operating procedures to determine if such procedures are sufficient to operate the division and the application of the procedures.
iii. Review the discipline process and issues to determine if discipline is consistent and what type of employee actions result in discipline.
iv. Review of management structure.
v. Leadership programs.
vi. Communication process.
vii. Workload analysis.
viii. Review employee morale within the Fire Rescue Division.
