TO: Todd Hanon, City Clerk
FROM: Tishria L. Mindingall, Executive Secretary - Civil Service Board M
RE: Civil Service Board Member Attendance Requirement
In accordance with Section 2-886 of the City of Miami Code (Attendance
Requirement), this is to advise that one of our Civil Service Board members, Ms.
Vishwani Ramlal (Elected Member), has been absent for more than three consecutive
meetings (July 8th, July 22nd and August 5th). Ms. Ramlal is currently on FMLA leave,
and is expected to return in September.
As you know, per the referenced section of the Code, the provisions therein may
be waived by a four -fifths vote of the Commission; therefore, we are asking that this
matter be placed on the Commission Agenda for the September 11, 2014, so that when
Ms. Ramlal returns to City service, her seat on the Board is assured.
If we need to provide additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us
at (305) 416-2020.
