Attention: Clerk of the Board
Re: Written testimony in regards to Agenda Item(s): 9.A-1 & 2 (City Manager/Executive Director performance evaluation and labor negotiations) Dear current elected and appointed City Council members, It's highly recommended to NOT advance (increase) any wage or benefit financial amount to the current City manager employment position agreement.
It's been repeatedly demonstrated that the city manager position have been lacking the professional performance required by best practices protocols.
It's been reported that selected Individuals were restricted from contacting city offices during normal business hours. Also, it's well known that city officials will not respond (call backs) to city residents if requested. City departments (Code Compliance/Public Works) have been repeatedly demonstrated to operate as a compromised organization (department) with oversight from the current General Manager.
It's well documented that the city of Rancho Mirage is noticeably dirtier (debris/unkempt streets/sidewalks). The addition of an unannounced city Manager Assistant should be an asset, but appears to ONLY be an additional expense to city residents with no impact over city operations.
It's reasonable to consider advertising for candidates to replace the current City Council members along with their three (3) employees (city manager/city clerk and current legal counsel) would be in the best Interests of city residents and businesses.
Please be reminded, any reprisal actions against my private property or person for reporting this true and accurate summary of concerns and opinions should be reconsider.
Sincerely,
Brad Anderson | 37043 Ferber Dr. Rancho Mirage, CA. 92270
