FROM:
This Letter to the Commission is to inform you of some recent appointments I have made in the
administration.
Effective April 23, 2001, Robert C. Middaugh will join the City of Miami Beach as an Assistant City
Manager. Bob comes to us with extensive experience in public administration at the most senior
levels. Bob has been a City Manager in various communities for the past twenty years. His most
recent position was as the Town Administrator for the Town of Davie, prior to that he held City
Manager equivalent positions in communities in Colorado, Connecticut and Minnesota. Bob has
a Master in Public Administration from the University of Colorado and a Bachelor of Arts from
Miami University in Ohio.
While I have not yet fmalized the assignments and reporting relationships in my new structure
(pending completion of other recruitments), I expect Bob will be responsible for overseeing the
following departments: Public Works and Operations, Neighborhood Services and Parks and
Recreation.
Effective April 23, 2001, Timothy Hemstreet will join the City of Miami Beach as a Special
Assistant to the City Manager. Tim comes to us with more than eight years of public administration
experience. Most recently, Tim was the Assistant City Manager for the City of Tamarac, FL, where

Tim's role as a Special Assistant will be to provide a high level coordinating and guiding role on
special assignments as they arise. He will be charged with helping coordinate functions between
multiple departments, chair or lead ad hoc task forces or committees or other duties as they may
develop. In summary, Tim will be the "troubleshooter" within my office to help anticipate and
resolve issues as they arise. As well as to help reengineer our internal processes (procurement,
hiring, IT, etc.) to ensure efficiency within our operations.
Two additional selections and job offers have been made: my Chief of Staff and the Director of
Capital Improvements Office. The Chief of Staff is pending final reference checks and the CIP
Director is pending final salary discussion. I will inform you of their backgrounds and start dates
shortly.
Please join me in welcoming these fine additions to our staff. I am sure you will find them to be
highly qualified and professional. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
