COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor David Dermer and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: October 17, 2007
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, CONSENTING TO THE APPOINTMENT
OF RAMIRO INGUANZO AS THE DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
FOR THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to the requirements of Article IV, Section 4.02 of the City Charter, it is
recommended that the Mayor and the City Commission adopt the attached resolution
consenting and confirming Ramiro Inguanzo as the Director of Human Resources for the
City of Miami Beach.
ANALYSIS
Ramiro Inguanzo has served as the Chief of Staff to the City Manager since May 2001.
Since that time, he has taken the lead with many of the City's organizational
development efforts for employees at all levels, and in particular with the City's
Management Team. Because of his work in this important area, he was assigned with
overseeing the City's Human Resources, Risk Management and Labor Relations areas
in January 2004. As the Director of Human Resources, he will continue leading all of
these areas to ensure that the City achieves its goals of attracting the highest quality
candidates to the organization, maintaining the highest quality workforce possible, and
providing city employees with the resources needed to succeed in their jobs.
Ramiro's background prior to joining the City has prepared him well for his role as
Director of Human Resources having worked nearly five years directing organizational
and leadership development programs for various agencies in the U.S. federal
government and with over two years of similar experience working for Miami Dade
College. Ramiro also holds a bachelor's and master's degree in public administration
from Florida State University.
CONCLUSION
While in most Council/Manager forms of government, City Managers are typically
granted broad authority to select key department heads, a provision of the City of Miami
Beach charter requires consent of all department directors by the City Commission.
By consenting to the appointment of Ramiro Inguanzo as the Director of Human
Resources, he will be responsible for ensuring the City achieves its goal of attracting and
maintaining a high quality workforce.
