Leon County Commissioners: Vince Long is Almost Perfect<\/h1>\n

Leon County Commissioners gave Leon County Administrator Vince Long a near perfect score for his 2020-21 annual evaluation. Long\u2019s average score of the commissioner ratings was 4.98 on a 5 point scale.<\/p>\n

Individual commissioners scores are provided below.<\/p>\n

Four commissioners gave Long a perfect score. The lowest score was 4.93 by Commissioner Kristin Dozier.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Carolyn Cummings wrote that:<\/p>\n

The County Administrator has shown and continues to demonstrate strong leadership and management skills not only to Leon County but to County Administrators throughout the State of Florida and the nation. His leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been stellar and his recognition for the protection of first responders and all county employees has been lauded<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Chairman Rick Minor wrote:<\/p>\n

Throughout this evaluation period, Leon County\u2019s government has continued to face a multitude of challenges stemming from global and national issues: protecting citizens and the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring racial equity and equal justice, navigating the heightened political divisions and disruption within state and federal government, etc. As such, the demands upon local government are greater than they\u2019ve been in many years. In my assessment, our County Administrator and his staff continue to do an exceptional job serving the citizens of Leon County and assisting the Board of County Commissioners in making some very difficult decision<\/em>s.<\/p>\n

At next week\u2019s meeting, the Board will ratify the County Administrator\u2019s annual performance review.\u00a0 To ensure that the performance evaluation process is conducted in a fair and open manner, the Board adopted a policy which provides that the County Administrator shall present an Annual Report to the Board in September of each year summarizing the state and performance of the County over the past fiscal year.<\/p>\n

Following this presentation, each Commissioner was requested to complete an individual performance evaluation of the County Administrator.<\/p>\n

The Commissioners evaluation focuses on seven key areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Professional Skills and Status<\/li>\n
  2. Relations with Board of County Commissioners<\/li>\n
  3. Policy Execution<\/li>\n
  4. Reporting<\/li>\n
  5. Supervision<\/li>\n
  6. Fiscal Management<\/li>\n
  7. Citizen\/Community Relations<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Completed performance reviews by each individual Commissioner and his or her comments can be viewed\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n

    According to the County Administrator\u2019s contract, Long shall receive a 5% annual increase and an annual merit increase as determined by the Chairman.<\/p>\n

    Notwithstanding the Board\u2019s performance rating of the County Administrator, as he has done in most years, he has requested once again that the Chairman not grant the additional merit increase for this year.<\/p>\n
