A commitment, a covenant, a deal, a negotiation, a pact, an arrangement, an agreement, so to speak, are all synonyms for the word contract. This is what our county administrator Mr. Gary Kuhl signed when he became a contract employee with Hernando County less than six months ago. In this contract was the stipulation that Mr. Kuhl live in Hernando County and he had 6 months to move from his current residence in Citrus County. This morning, Mr. Kuhl requested a contract change from the Board of County Commissioners so he could remain as a resident of Citrus County. The Hernando County residency requirement was understood by all applicants that originally applied for the county administrator position. Each commissioner stated they did not want to lose Mr. Kuhl, even though he had publicly stated in this morning's newspaper he would comply with the stipulations in his original contract. The commissioners then voted 4-0 revise Mr. Kuhl's contract, deleting the verbiage concerning his place of residence so he could remain in Citrus County.

Not only the county administrator, whoever he or she might be, but I think our Budget Director,or anyone having anything to do with the way our tax dollars are spent, should live in this county. How dare them make decisions about our county's tax dollars, yet they are unaffected by it. Administrators and Directors should reside in this county. Our current Budget Director lives in Citrus County. So why should he worry about our ad valorem or milleage rate, it doesn't affect him.
I agree. Not only should the budget director live within the county but so should all department heads.
