rc = :.a=-N' Resolution
One
With your support, this Department has provided the leadership
to start a combined apprenticeship program with other municipali-
ties in the field of Automotive/Heavy Equipment Mechanics.
Meetings have already been held with the fleet administrators
from many municipalities and Dade County to discuss the pos-
sibilities of providing centralized training in the mechanics
trade.
All the Government entities that attended our previous two meet-
ings which were held on February 25th and March 25, 1982, at the
Building and Vehicle Maintenance Department, have fully agreed
to participate in the apprenticeship program.
It is my intention to allow the participants from other muni-
cipalities to join our classroom training which would be held
at our Heavy Equipment Maintenance Facility. The total cost for
the classroom training would be distributed among each participant
and billed to the respective municipality.
As a result of these meetings it was the unanimous decision of
those attending to form an organization of fleet administrators
from Dade County Municipalities to oversee the apprenticeship
training, as well as the invaluable exchange of information.
In order to gain the total support of the City Commission regard-
ing a combined Apprenticeship Program, the enclosed resolution
has been prepared for their approval.
Your continued support in this matter is appreciated.

Dear Bob:

It has come to my attention that the City of Miami's Director of
Building and Vehicle Maintenance, Air. C. E. "Eddie" Cox, is most
interested in an appointment to serve on the Florida State Appren-
ticeship Council.
As I understand the selection process is due to commence shortly,
I am taking the liberty of enclosing a copy of Mr. Cox's resume
for your information.
I strongly support Air. Cox's application to serve on the Council
due to his many years of practical experience in having quite suc-
cessfully developed and guided the City's Apprenticeship Program
in his respective Department.
I feel that Air. Cox's background and vast experience would make
him a most valuable and productive member of the Council, and I
heartily recommend him to you.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
L
