I mean, he won't win re-election in November. Not in Orange County.
Shocking they couldn't find a long term employee within the Supervisor's office to step in, given there's an election in 9 months.
But then, maybe not so shocking.

A little unclear if he will be permanently gone from CFTOD. The "during my unavailability" seems to suggest he is temporarily stepping aside for the new job.
I wonder how this will effect the general election in Florida this year?
This is really confusing to me. This would have to be less pay than he was getting from CFTOD, and it shouldn't influence the outcome of any elections.
Would this stop him from having to be deposed in his official capacity for CFTOD? If not, the only reason I could see for this is that the Governor wants to put someone else in that CFTOD position.
I know that technically the board would hire for that position, but I've followed this long enough to have a strong suspicion of how the sausage is made.
I'm wondering if this is a stall tactic. Can't be deposed on X date due to having to run an electionOne can be deposed for positions or offices previously held. I was, a year AFTER I retired.
Well that's good.The supervisor's job isn't to count.
Chaos may be what is supposed to happen.The supervisor's job isn't to count.
But his lack of knowledge and experience can result in chaos on election day.

This is a point I hadn't really considered. If there is chaos in Orange county, that could affect statewide and national elections even if it doesn't move the needle much locally.Guess it's good I'm still registered in another county.
I remember a new supervisor decided to completely redo everything. That first election was chaos when polling places didn't open on time and machines broke down.
What I'm reading from these comments is, even if the supervisor is a paid employee and not an appointed member of the board, to avoid the appearance of impropriety, he should resign from his position.

As for the deposition, I assumed he'd still have to do it but I'm struggling to understand why Gilzean himself would take this appointment to a lower paying, temporary position.
There are millions of ways to influence the outcome of an election unrelated to the literal counting of votes. The person in charge of running the election can definitely impact the result with how it's run. The easiest way is by impacting how easy or hard it is to vote.This is really confusing to me.

He should resign or be fired because he's working a second job and will not be able to work both jobs. One presumes the CFTOD Administrator job is a roughly 9-5 job 5 days a week, and that the election supervisor job is also 9-5 and 5 days a week. Both are certainly 40 hour work week jobs, even if you flex the working hours.What I'm reading from these comments is, even if the supervisor is a paid employee and not an appointed member of the board, to avoid the appearance of impropriety, he should resign from his position.

My math says there's 168 hours in a week. If you sleep for 35 and eat for 14, that leaves 119. You could technically work 80 of those, leaving 39 left over for everything else. Is that what anyone is expecting here?
If the Election Supervisor is phoning it in and not getting things done, I would expect that to be a local scandal. If the CFTOD Administrator is phoning it in and not getting things done, the CFTOD board should fire them.
All of that is independent of any conflict of interest requirements either job may have. They don't really sound like two jobs a person could hold at the same time.

Glen Gilzean tells the Orlando Sentinel he's awaiting "direction" from the CFTOD on his future at the district.
