The Seminole County Port Authority board votes this week on giving port director Dennis Dolgner a new annual salary of $127,036, up from $93,808. The revised pay check would make Dolgner the highest paid property manager in Florida, according to GlobeSt.com research. Dolgner also has unlimited use of a Seminole County government vehicle, a $3,800 annual entertainment budget and a no-cost $100,000 life insurance policy.

Dolgner, 60, has run the 120-acre, 54-tenant, 95%-leased Seminole County Industrial park for 24 years, without a formal contact and with a staff of two--himself and his wife. His operation of the park has been commended for years by elected officials.

The park has a budget of $2 million and generates annual revenue of $1.5 million, small compared with nearby parks in Seminole and Orange counties. The port's average profit over the past five years is $463,000, according to port authority staffers. The park is run entirely from the revenue it produces without property tax subsidies.
