Re: Automatic Annual Increase in Salary
Dear Mayor Watkins and
Members of the Village Council,
Please be advised that in consideration of the difficult budgetary and economic times we
are all going through at this time, I have voluntarily elected to forego the automatic four percent
(4 %) increase in my salary as set forth at Section 4 of my Amended Employment Agreement
with the Village dated December 14, 2006. This forbearance will be in effect until October 1,
2010.
It is truly a pleasure working for the Village of Tequesta and I sincerely appreciate the
continued opportunity to serve all the citizens of the Village.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Couzzo
