In keeping with F.S. ch. 125, part III, this Ordinance grants to the County Administrator
only those powers and duties which are administrative or ministerial in nature and
not to delegate any governmental power imbued in the Board of County Commissioners
as the governing body of the county pursuant to Fla. Const. art. VIII, §1(e). To this
end, the below specifically enumerated powers are to be construed as administrative
in nature, and in any exercise of governmental power the County Administrator shall
only be performing the duty of advising the Board of County Commissioners in its role
as the policy-setting governing body of the county and carrying out its directives
and policies.
Except as provided below, as the policy-setting governing body, the Board and its
members shall defer to the County Manager the day-to-day handling of the administrative
and ministerial powers and duties enumerated below, including the supervision, appointment
or removal of his subordinates. No County Commissioner shall direct or request the
appointment of any person to, or his removal from, Office of the County Administrator
or by any of his subordinates, or in any manner take part in the appointment or removal
of officers or employees in the administrative services of the county except as provided
by this article. Neither the Board, nor any member thereof shall interfere in the
performance of the duties of any subordinate of the County Administrator, either publicly
or privately, except for the purposes of inquiry and information. Nothing contained
herein shall prevent a County Commissioner from expressing a concern to the County
Manager about the actions or performance of an employee.
