WATT Y H IRA I ENCLOSURES;
City Clerk
The purpose of this memorandum is to respectfully request of you,
Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Commission, that you approve
and authorize me to enter into a professional services agreement
with Mrs. Sylvia Mendoza upon her retirement. Mrs. Mendoza has
been with this office for the past 14 years and is presently a
Technical Operations Liaison. Some of Mrs. Mendoza's basic
responsibilities with this office involve research of the City
Commission's official records for preparation of special research
projects; special gleaning and certification of pertinent
documents in connection with the City's bond validation
proceedings; complete administration of the lobbying ordinance
and the City's bid processes. She also acts as direct liaison
with Municipal Code Corporation concerning the ongoing
codification of the Charter and Code and reviews code supplements
upon their arrival. She also acts as special assistant during.
City of Miami elections.
I know how the Commission feels in connection with the necessary -
in-house cross training of staff so that when a senior employee
leaves, there may be someone on staff fully capable of carrying
on his or her responsibilities, and I agree that such should be
the case. But in this instance, I beg of you to consider that
this early retirement incentive program has "descended" upon us.
within a very short time -- practically 30 days. Mrs. Mendoza
had not even mentioned the possibility of retiring, and
therefore, no serious cross -training efforts had been implemented
in connection with her eventual departure.
Under the herein agreement, Mrs. Mendoza will be requested to _
work an average of 25 hours per week and the economic impact to
the City would be an average of $7,800 for the first six months
of her services. Her present salary with the City is $32,510 a
year, therefore, if the herein professional services agreement
would be approved by you, it would represent a substantial
savings to the City, The necessary funds to cover the cost for
said services are presently budgeted and available in the City
Clerk's budget.
