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. amipro/files/manager/diamond RESOLUTION NO. 54 - 99/00 A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPROVING A TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE ACTING ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER POSITION WITH FUNDS BEING ALLOCATED FROM THE VILLAGE MANAGER' S PERSONAL SERVICES SALARIES AND WAGES ACCOUNT, HAVING A FY 1999/2000 BUDGET AMOUNT OF $173 , 300, AND AUTHORIZING THE ACTING VILLAGE MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE APPLICABLE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE VILLAGE .
