SUBJECT: City Attorney's Performance Evaluation and Contract
Extension
April 11, 2013, will mark my seventh (7) year as City Attorney. It will also
mark the expiration of my employment contract.
Over the past seven years, I helped enhance the reputation and stature of
the City Attorney's Office by maintaining the highest standards of professionalism
and ethical conduct.
I have also been responsive and sensitive to requests from elected
officials and the administration. I continue to work closely with Interim City
Manager Kathie Brooks to better handle the many challenges and opportunities
which lie ahead.
Attached is a Memorandum submitted July 26, 2012 to the Commission
Oversight Committee on the Office of the City Attorney. It highlights our most
significant accomplishments, particularly our victory over the Pension Board
regarding collectively bargained changes to the pension ordinance.
I am proud to be your City Attorney and am optimistic about the city's
future. I look forward to meeting with each of you in the coming days to discuss
a contract extension. A Meeting of the Whole will be scheduled for the January
16, 2013 Commission meeting.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you and the residents of
Miami Beach.
