To: Village Council
From: Joann Manganiello, Acting Village Manager(
Date: July 13, 2000
Subject: Consideration of Extension of Temporary Employment Agreement for Acting
Assistant Village Manager;Agenda Item
At the April 13, 2000, Village Council Meeting, the Village Council adopted Resolution No.
54-99/00 - Approving a Temporary Employment Agreement for the Acting Assistant Village
Manager Position held by Richard Diamond. The Agreement provided for Mr. Diamond to assist
the Acting Village Manager during the interim period before the hiring of a new Village Manager,
approximately three months. Mr. Diamond began work on May 1, 2000, and August 1, 2000, the
end of the three month period of temporary employment, is near.
In this short time, Mr. Diamond has been an invaluable assistant and a tremendous help to me, the
Department Heads, Village staff, and, as you can attest to, the Village Council. He is extremely
qualified, well-versed, and experienced in municipal government. Mr. Diamond has a wonderful
work ethic and is willing to do anything asked of him. He is always professional and very
representative of the Village of Tequesta in his position as Acting Assistant Village Manager.
Additionally, Mr. Diamond is well-liked and has become an integral part of the day-to-day
activities of the Village_
To date, we have not hired a new Village Manager and, it is conceivable that a new Village
Manager may not be "on board" until sometime in September. Mr. Diamond's assistance is still
very much needed during this possible two-month period. I respectfully request that the Village
Council consider extending Mr. Diamond's Temporary Employment Agreement as Acting
Assistant Village Manager until such time as a new Village Manager officially begins work at the
Village of Tequesta.
The terms and conditions of the Temporary Employment Agreement will remain in effect, and
funds are available in the Village Manager's Personal Services Salaries and Wages Account to
provide for Mr. Diamond's services in this fiscal year.
