They performed similar work to what we are seeking over the past 5 years or so in Duplin County, North Carolina; Lee County, North Carolina; and the Town of Colchester, Vermont. Both Lee County and the Town of Colchester advised that the work performed for them was very good and they recommended the use of Evergreen Solutions. The work produced useful recommendations which both jurisdictions have implemented. There were recommendations that were not implemented as well, for budgetary as well as practical reasons that were unique to each jurisdiction. The comments from the Duplin County Manager were mixed. He felt that the exercise produced a number of useful recommendations that have been implemented, but that there were a lot of recommendations that the county felt were not really feasible for their particular purposes. He also explained that it was his opinion that it was a very expensive project for them, but that part of that admittedly had to do with the fact that there were more complex issues both internally and between the board of county commissioners and the school board, which exacerbated their particular situation. Although Evergreen Solutions has not done this type of governance consulting in Florida recently, they have a presence in Florida as evidenced by the list of Florida clients they have served contained on their website. Many of the Florida clients used Evergreen for fiscal and HR related consulting. However, the point person for us, should we hire Evergreen, is Dr. Jeff Ling, who I am told is extremely qualified to do the type of work we are interested in receiving. He is also the point person with the Vermont reference, I believe. Keith W.
