CITY CLERK'S REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 25, 2000
ITEM 1 Note for the Record: The City Commission inquired of
City Manager, Carlos A. Gimenez, his management
philosophy and views in connection with the following
listed issues:
(1) Commissioner Sanchez inquired of City Manager
Carlos A. Gimenez, if the parking facilities
surcharge were to be eliminated, how would he
address the revenue shortfall; further inquired as to
the status of the Port of Miami regarding Watson
Island and filling in of the Florida East Coast slip;
his position on the strong mayoral proposal; vision
for the City of Miami; status of hiring a budget
liaison, whether the FY 2001 Budget would
represent an increase or decrease from the previous
fiscal year; the feasibility of tying the severance
package to ratifying, approving and confirming his
appointment, etc.
(2) Vice Chairman Gort reiterated that the City Manager
should state on the record his plans for retirement
and the anticipated benefits of serving in the capacity
of Fire Chief and the impact that any premature
disallowance of those benefits would have on his
projected pension dollars (i.e. what would be the
difference, in dollars, with his serving as City
Manager, as opposed to Fire Chief);
(3) Commissioner Regalado stated that there is a need to
break the cycle of severance payments, dating back
to former City Manager Edward Marquez, former
City Manager Jose Garcia -Pedrosa, former City
Manager Donald Warshaw, et cetera, and stated that
the bottom line should be how much money the City
Commission will have to pay in the form of
severance; further stating that the City Commission
should not just rubber stamp the confirmation of a
City Manager; further stating that the City should
demonstrate a good faith effort at trying to reduce
personnel salary costs.
