' . . - wdhiggin@bellsouth.net I am interested in discussing the possibility of serving as your Interim City Manager and can do so immediately. I am pleased to attach my Resume and a copy of the Background and Credential Verifications for your review and consideration. The "background check" was done on me in relation to my contract with ICMA. for service to the Department o(Defense and USAID in Iraq. The information was gathered over four years ago,· however, the only change is my address. My background in municipal and public sector management, budgeting, financial management, disaster preparedness, and economic development are some of the qualities I have to offer Miami Beach. Additionally, I have a successful record of being a strong and involved leader. I am currently an active member of ICMA and FCCMA and have been recognized by both for over 25 years of public service. In addition to my most recent City Manager position for the City of Madeira Beach, I have held positions as City/Town Manager and Assistant Manager in four Florida and two California cities, Economic Development Director for the Regional Planning Council in Gainesville, FL and Local Governance Program Finance Advisor in Iraq. Subsequent to leaving Madeira Beach I completed a six month assignment as President/CEO of the Treasure Island, FL Chamber of Commerce. I have proven myself as a leader with written and oral communication, public relations, and strong interpersonal skills. As I indicated, I am at your disposal immediately and will serve on a month-to-month basis while being in a position to assist the City Commission with the selection of your permanent City Manager (I would not be a candidate). Given the desirability of serving the City of Miami Beach, I am confident the recruitment can be done without the contractual services of a professional search firm. I am well acquainted with the Florida Sunshine Laws and will be happy to meet with each of you on a one-on-one basis if you so desire. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, 'UJ, "[), ~~' fh· W. D. Higginbotham, Jr. Attachment RESUME W. D. HIGGINBOTHAM, JR. BACKGROUND I have successfully held public and private professional positions including City/Town Manager in four Florida cities, Economic Development Director for a Regional Planning Council, Local Governance Program Finance Advisor in Iraq, Chamber of Commerce President, and Marketing Director for a California based financial consultant. I have been recognized by ICMA for twenty five years of public service and I have been active in the Florida City/County Managers Association and the Florida League of Cities for over twenty five years. March 2011 to September 2011 PROFESSIONAL & PUBLIC SECTOR EXPERIENCE PRESIDENT and CEO Chamber of Commerce, Treasure Island, Florida The day I resigned as Madeira Beach's City Manager I was offered the position of President and CEO of the Treasure Island Chamber of Commerce. Treasure Island is adjacent to Madeira Beach and I was and am well known by the City of Treasure Island elected body and administration as well as the business community. I accepted the position for a six month period with the charge of doubling the Chamber's membership, enhancing the ·relationship between the City and the Chamber, and increasing the visibility of the Chamber. As President I managed to more than triple membership; I led the effort to have a ·city Commissioner appointed liaison between the City and the Chamber; I established a weekly news letter and monthly social events; I created promotional and solicitation materials; and I purchased and converted over to an in house Content Management System for the Chamber's web-site.

The City's daytime population exceeds 30,000 during peak seasons. The City's primary goal is to expand tourism facilities (hotel rooms); however, the depressed economy in recent years has inhibited development. None-the-less, I led the City moving forward with incentives and density changes to encourage development when the economy and market conditions are favorable. Further, I maintained the tax rate with no negative impact on service levels.

After giving this much thought, please consider this my official submittal to fill the interim City Manager position, and forward this to our Mayor and Commissioners for their consideration. Attached is my resume. ! only present myself for this on a temporary basis until such time that a permanent Manager is selected, and because I love this City as much as I do. My current and prior experience is outlined in my resume and proudly details substantial Private Sector and Public Administration experience, including ownership and management of a major privately owned South Florida manufacturing company and other accounting and administrative experience. 1 am fortunate to have returned to make Miami Beach my home in 1987. Since then, I volunteered for the City of Miami Beach Recreation Division as a baseball coach for the traveling baseball team in the 90's, was a proud member and Vice Chair of the City of Miami Beach Parks and Rec Facilities Advisory Board for years, served on the Youth Center Advisory Board, was Vice Chair of the Parks Blue Ribbon Committee and also served on a selection committee-all prior to my employment with the City which began in December, 2002. Although I am certain that more qualified professional public sector administrators will be considered for the permanent position, l believe ! am seasoned enough to be temporarily tasked with keeping consistency, administrative order, accountability and some historical perspective during a time that my city mends, begins a new chapter and starts to come together. Of extreme urgency includes finalizing this fisc~! year's budget process. I am certain that I can successfully accomplish this with everyone's help and cooperation-with the complete understanding that my current and permanent position is eventual. At some other point, possibly as soon as the City and my personal belief is oonvihcing enough, I will present myself for a permanent position of Assistant City Manager-when and if the position opens up. · My Recreation Division has great Management and will run smoothly, without a hick-up for the short term period. This I am sure of. Respectfully submitted, Julio E.
