Please descnbe what the Tequesta community, Village Council and employee�s will see when they see you coming. Having served as both an Administrator and as Chief of Staff to a Councilman,I have walke� li3 3?ID1I�r i}1nC9 a� a Co�aeilmamL*er and �*�i�nc�si rh�::hall�es that an elec*� ��fficie! faces,while aLso understandmg the administrative aspect of what is involved in deliveamg the services sought by residents. Having eaperieace in both these roles, the Council, as eleded officials of the Village of Tequesta, can be assured that I have the experience necessary to assist thern as they perform their daily d�rties. In addition to the above roles,I also worked for a Housing Authoriry,which provided me wi�the opporamity to work in public housing and eaposed ma to the many needs of families seeking assistance fmm govemmwt. I was asked to scrve as Chief of Staff to a Coimcilman-at-Large, where my staff and I were able to tap into resources available locally, County and Statewide to help the many poople co�acting our office.We scrved the entire Ciry of Newazk(274,000 residents)unl�ce a Ward Councilmember,and my job was to ensure thet every call,�,reside.nt visiting o�of5ce to contact my Councilman was handled sat�i�torily regandless of the outcome. Most importantlY,customer service was demanded fiom each statF member to make the consti4uut feel d�at their tax dollars were not being wasted. I participated on panels, walked the neighborhoais, held townhall mee�ings, met with neighborhood groups, and rtpresentcd the Councilman as requested. I researc�d topics of importance to the Councilman and pmvided insight into proposing new legislation(oniinances), and aLso advised him af new legislation being proposed by other Cou�nc�il�embers. My c�areer as a public se,rvant is a few months shy of twe,nty-five years, and I have grown professionally with every oppornmity set in my path. Having served as a Chief of Staff, administrator to a housing audiority and finally as a Business A.ciministcator, I have been provided with the knowledge necessary to handle all aspects requirad to serve as Village Manager. I have served in the capacity of Business Administrator(the term use in New Jersey for Village Manager) under four different Mayors in two citics of much larg�r demand for municipal services, and with larger populations than the Village of Tequesta. I have csrried my•`customer service"motto with me ensiaing that all Dep�provide quality,efficient, fiscally soimd services they should be providi.ng regardless if the services are being performed for the residents or employees themselves. Since becoming an Administrator, I have always been involved hands-on in op�ations and work very closely with Department Directors. Visiting departments, facilities, parks, and driving around town is somexhing I caurently do to inspect firsthand how services are delivered. i also meet with employees to get a feel/di.rierer�t pecspective as to waat is ixappening in tne Departments. Encouraging employees' feedback is important since it has been proven usefiil to me in implementing positive changes, at times, for the benefit of the residents, or to make some internal processes more produc�ive and efficient for employees in the frontlines. I am a believer in providing the aecessary tooLs and knowledge to our employees and would iFFbR� . „a}Sitf}4SC F1 . _P. ?i' :?T-L'F .^.}}F-F?C�1 ".T�t. 4 �}1?

How involved have you been m ad4pting and implementing technological changes in your organization;and how will you ose your knowledge a�d experience to ensure that Tequesta is roaa�imizzinng technology to enhance customer experience? Technology is evolving in lesps and bounds each day,right in 5ront of our eyes. Our personal lives have ba�me dependent on technology. Smart p�hones,smart pads,laptops,and the latest "Alexa"by Amaz,on have beoome a way of life that tells us what we need by a simple touch of the sc�aa or voicx command For cxrtain services,face-to-face interaction is beooming a thing of the past and being r�placed by oomputer genexated adions for the sake of saving oime for other petsonal aarvities. With this in mind,Municipal Govemme,nts too must evolve to meet the needs of its�esideats by providing up to date services to ac.commodate its demand. In the long nm,propaly implem�ented technology is an effxtive and less c�stly alteznative to provide efficient services twenty-four hoars a day. I was an employee at the Housing Awthority of Elizabeth and had the"privilege"of having a de.Sktop computar to perfoffi my daily wo�. I eventually became the Network Administrator and began to install desktop oomputeis for every employce with a desk My responsbilities included to stay on top of the changes coming down the pipe as new software was developed and uQdates became routine. Ever since those days, I know how important it is to continue improving and updating equipment as time gces by. In Perth Amboy,one of the questions asked to me by a Councilmember was if I had visited the website and what weae my thoughts. In fact,I had looked at the website and advised him that I felt that it was outdated and in nced of an upgiade. They all laughed and agreed and asked that I wo�on upgraclmg it Last year,I added additional funding to the budget lines to replace die website,the phone system,and the switch board at the 911 call centea. The first change I implemented upon my hiring was malong oar Marina mark�able. I asled the 1T Director w work with the Manager of the lviarina to do a photo shoot of what it looked like and placx the pidures on the website.The rontal of the boat slips went from azound 65R6 to 989b for the first time in years. i..�t y��a rn�y�,the rental of slips remained at 98% by the mouth of May. This year we oompleted the replacement of the 911 call center switchboard,the pho�system,added free WiFi in on�public park,impleme�ted a lending of fioe take home MiFi(mobile hotspots)to residc�s,and are about to complete the City's new website. Perth Amboy is also currently in the process of purchasing new P�S Pay stations to replace the single head coins only tmits. The new stations take credit cards, bills,and tfie usea can pay online by means of a smart phone application once the provider is selec�ed. siaviug�n a I�latwo�t,�aiinistrat�r, I ar a big oeliav�r in�chn�logy ancl wiil et,niinue to push for new means as technology continues to evolve. Moreover,I will continue to research best practices in otber cities and implement oaline services to stay on tap of new trends that can make our residents interaction with our Village more enjoyable.

Share with us your thoughts on the statement"Leadership is persuasion,not domination,"citing one personal ezample to support your opinion. This statement in itself is a true testam.ait to what is expected from someone vested with decision making empowerment Lzaders are e1�,�t�i; �lz-�t� or appc�inzed based o� rh� qaalities the� have to off�r or by their experience in the coaesponding field to complete a task. One trait that leaders must have is a message or vision,and the ability to make followers(subordinates)believe in that vision and follow the best path to achieve that goal. Achieving a goal may not be easy if the leader cannot assess all tools at his/h�disposal,and/or the personalities and attihides of the people needed to carry out tasks to achieve that goal. During High School and my years in college, I performed several blue-collar jobs that include a landscaper,construction labore.r and loss prevention detective prior to beginning what I consider my professional c�reer in gove�nment. With this background of experiences,it is easy for me to assimilate with employees working at the various levels and appreciate their efforts to get�e job done. As leaders, we must have the ability to adapt to the personalities of those involved and tailor their job duties and respaacibilities for what needs to get done. �g my�� n,;ni�r�I have taken the initiative to lead by example. Getting "inside the trenches" with employees and showing respect for what they do is one way that I show leade�ship. Showing t�at you are not afiaid to do anything to assist in completing a task eams respect for what we as leaders must accomplish for the organization. Back in 2012 when I was the Assistant Business Administrator m New�c, I fou�a Facebook posting of a concerned resident fivstrated at the City of Newark for not being able to abate an illegal dumping situation across the street from his home. He had reached out to several City agencies,including the Councilman for his ward and no one was able to assist in a timely fashion I contacted the concerned reside,nt to get more details and dien proceeded to inspect the location and determine a plan of a�ction. I reached out to the Deparoment of Sanitation to set a time firame to have the debris removed. However,on the day set for the removal I received a call from the superintendent advising me that it was not going to be possible to remove the debris due to the lack of staff. There was only one driver available and no laborers to assist in placing the debris in the garba.ge truck. Since we had already made a commitment to the resident I told the superintendent that I would meet the driver at the loc�tion and that I would place the debris in the truck. The superintendent surprised of my offer told me he too will meet me there to complete the cleanup.We both put on gloves and picked up all the debris from the area. The next few days i received a lot of accolades from the�Ylayor down to Sanitation workers for havi.ng taken matters ;nto�y�zva haads. The action also made it to the ears of a local blogger who contacted me to do a story about the cleanup. i didn't think it was a big deal and told hi.m diat I declined to make camments and that it was part of my job. He proceeded to write a short story on his blog and I received many thanks from his followers. r�mece cicle doz..n"i makz a ryer;��rt hcttar frr��t�tl�er;_ �a��s�^�;a�sh��l�t ha��SI�t;�-^�a�i:� being who we are both before a title and after a title.

Lawrence McNaul Village Manager Writing Exercise How involved have you been in adopting and implementing technological changes in your organization;and how will you use your t�nowiedge and experience ta ensure that Tequesta is maaimizing technology to enhance custome�ezperience? Ci�y of wes��a�bercy owns and operates m�eir own M�al�1ec�c,wacer,�a solia w� Utilities.Duriag my te�ure with the City,I have led upgrades with each service which included technologic�i changes w provid�more efficieut and cconomicai services. The Elec�ric Utility is currently going through their first upgia�e in 15 years with a transformer and switch gear which were in place in die late 1980s.Through reseam,h and in-depth conversatia�s I facilitatod a tesm to revi�w the newest and best options.The effort resulted placing a self-contained switch gear house and a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System(SCADA).This allows staff to start and monitor generation 5rom remote locations where previonsly requircd physical p�ce of a minmmum of four journeymen/lineman. The West Li'ba.ty Water Plant had started a two phase upgrade wl�I accepted the City Manager position to remove iron and magnesium fmm the water aad upgrade the filt�ration system. While Phase I was taldng place I began reviewing the follow on phases and fudue capital improvements.I leamed through visiting with thc munici}�al eagineer the city had only reviewed on�method of p�aification and softening which was Eledro Dialysis Revasal(EDR). Having worked with alternative methods of processing and distnbuti.on,I recommen,ded to the City Cozmcil to delay the prooess and review other aptions.Through a series of work sessions and wm.�dng with the city's engineer to present a Reverse Osmosis water softcninS P� which was chosen as the best choice.This resulted in the ability to deliver 750,000 gallons of cleaner,healthier water and sigaificantly reducing sedim�t or scaling build uP,��'�S the noed for residents to maintain mdividual water softeners or personal conditioning agents.In addition we saved the city mor��an$600,000 in constru�ction cost and$LU0,000 savings a�uaily in Operation and Maintenance.We also implemented a SCADA system to allow the staff to monitor operations remotely. When I took over as City Manager in West Iaberty they were in the prac�ss of contira�cting waste savices due to a$750,000 dollar deficit in their Solid Waste fimd and utilizing equipment that was unsafe and indficient After ide�ring tlie deficiency in revenue,I began working to upgrade not only the equipment but to renovate the enta�program.Smce 2013 the Solid Waste Utility is back to life operating now with a�4400,000 cash raserve which was a result of txhnological advances.The trucks used for refuse pick uQ are automated requiring only o� employee to operate versus thrx.The community recycliag drop off effective Aug�st 1,2018 will be residential curbside diverting tons of waste from the landfill.This process was a result of a million dollar grant and results in use of automated sarting facility and wiuch resulted in significant reduction in staff allowing us to,reallocate personnel to other public works jobs. being on top of tec�aologica�advancements�nd opporhmities is vi±ai for planning,economic development and sustainability of a community. Lawrence McNaul Village Manager Writing Exercise Share with us your thonghts on the statement"Leadership is persuasion,not domination," cilar►g one personal example to suQport your opinion. I.eadersi�is Persuasion,not domination.I,eadership and respect are eamed and�one likes to be under command,even the hard�st soldier on the ground would rather have a coach and mentor.As a c�oach every task r�an be completed throu�teachmg and assessing.This is a reoc,cuaing process,continually building employees wh�e giving them an opporhmity to know the exp�ctations of leadership. This builds a s�onger employee,areates tcust and a bett�work cnvironment A managa who display�reat lead�rshiP qaalities can inspire their teams to aocomplish amazing thmgs. If diere oomes a time a command role needs to be implemente�in die event of a disaster or e�eagency,th�foundation has been set for employees and allows for them to talce ordus without feeIing dis�i'ran�chised.You will find employees will often rise w the occasion and become the leaders when operating under this type of st�ucture. Pve a�pted bodi my exec�mive leadership roles as Chief Deputy an�d as City Manager during times of intc�nal stiuife and with less than amiable staff morale.As a tcansformational l�,I have overcome the resistanoe of employees who had ooncerns and have built lifelong relations. Most signi5caatly was assaming tl�e position as City 1�Ianager,where ti�e city had become status quo for more than a decade and the leadcrship came from behind a desk wi�a closed door. Shottly aft�accepting my role,it became clear that busmess practices 6ad not bee�a�►ered to and that the City had bee�nimnmg on the oo�ecxi�s and frie�dships of officials and decisions were,"becau.se I said so"rather ti�an open dialogue and basod on facts and figures. During this time,I identified significant trends in declining cash reve�nue and begaa an internal investigation which lead to the te�rmination of a long tcmi employee. I then brought th�City's insivance policy undcr question afber having difficulty filmg several claims.The insurance broker was also operating out of one of the most dilapidated buildings in town. I learned he had bee�the city's broker for more than 20 years and for more than a decade,complaints about his office condition were igQored by city staff because they were r�lated. Over the cause of my 5rst 18 months I teiminated 3 tsnured employees,revealed num�rous deficits,put our insurance policy out to bid saving more than�'75,000 dollars,had another aPP��official on a work peiformance plan and began the dilapidated buitding pmcess on the forma insurance broke,zs building.This cxeated a pool of applicants at the next city council ' election wif�two�mbers promising they were going to find out what was going on at City Hall. This lead to a contentious period where evaything was under the microscope.Over the cowrse of the�xt 2 years throngh persuasion a�d mentoring techniques I was able to convince those members a►ho ran on election promises to oust me that I was not the problem,but rather the person offering solutions. I have sinc�received two positive evaluations and the council membzr who once asiced for my termination,lead the iast vote to retain and extend my contracx agreement,she is also wiili.ag to be a reference.

Rafve110es r,�ran.a�,.�..ee�ooir a��.e.�rro �rz Robin Ignacio G6mez—Answer to Question I—what wiQ Tequcsta see when they see me cbmrng. The Teque�community, Village Council, and employees will see a caring, dynamic, innovative, hard- worldng, fiscaily responsive Manager, resident, and contriMrting community member of the V'illage of Tequesta. From day one as the Tcque�Village Manager I will faithfully and with all my abilities and efforts continue to ensiue that all Teqaesta residents,businesses,aad visitors receive die highest aud most efficient and effa�tive level of viltage services. My pr�ary goal will be to continue to enhance the very high Tequesta quality of life lmown as a fabutous commimity and de.stination to live,learn,work,and play. I lmow that I will only succeed through the collective collaboration among the Village Council,Village employses,residents,busines�s,and visitors to ultimately continue to progress to unpreced�at�kvels of local govemment exceltence in li�with Teques�'s vision and mission. I am a very petsonable, humble individual oniy intere.sted in constar►tly ensuring that local government works for the people. Since I began to huly understand how government works at the age of 16,I began my initial desire to eventually work fnr local govemment by continuing my higher education in political science 8c economics as an tmdergraduate at the University of Niiami(obtained BA in 1994)followod by an eventual Masters in Public Administration &om the University of South Florida in Tampa(2000). I began my work career in 1994 as a stud�t intern at the City of Clearvvater,FL,ev�tually hired full-time as an suditor in Septembe.r 1996,and promoted tvvice to the final position I held in Clearwater as the City Auditor from December 1999 until November 2015 wh�I departed to become the Fsirmont, WV, City Managa. In my nearly twenty-two(22)years as a futl-time loca!government professional,the most recent thirty�ne (31) mo�ths as a city managex, I have experienced tremendous success in two vastly diverse cities by listening and collaborating via muttiple uzCthods (in person/'in the field, via telephone-laad/mobile, elec�onic/social modia)with thousands of individuals regarding dozens of topics, industries,and issues from economic/business devebpment to QubGc safety to quality of life/leisure activities to utilities distribution to social issues. 1n my tweaty-one (21) total years in Clearwater, FL, I also provided the compreheasive city services to a fast growing FIispanic-Latino demograpluc in my n�tive 5panish language. Consequentty, Tequesta will sce me as a dedicated, commvnity friend who recognizes a�l embodies everyone's uniqueness,our diversity of thought,and o�willingness to tnily listen,celebrate,and intsract wit�all peoples in our commimity. As the youngest of five,father of two daughters(married to my high school swee�heart for over 19 years), and having resided in two co�mtries and eight cities in five s�tes, I am also vasdy lrnowiedgeable on the importance of family and the caimg for the well-being of others. My parents have and continue to impart on me to share my talents and activities in my career beyond the job by continuing to improve myself, co�inuing to develop positive relationships wi$► those I setve, by volu�eering, and by doing everything possible to engage as many as possi'ble to st�are and celebrate the over-all importance of family and community. t cuaent�y care very much about ny�'airmoat,`V V,community as evidencyd by��hun�°.,ds of r�sideuts and business owners who I�ave commented to me (and many on Ci�ty Councin that they never expected to see owr city manager participating�l working in so rnauy different areas/activitic:s,pazticularly outsid� the office: from volunteering at community activities,to rressponding in person to various scrvice%oacerns (parking,public safety,utiliti�s,parks,overgrown yards,code enforcement and much more),to picking up trash on the way to or a$er work/weekends,to helping promote and actually attending numerous commwiity eve�ts/activities,azid much morc.

Robin Ignacio G6mez—Answer m Qrresiion 2—adopt�iig, �inplemaiting,maxvnizing technology. In 2018,local governme,nt must incorpaate technology into its daily service provision Whcthor it is office and field employees utilizing mobile devices such as mmartphones,tablets, laptops or the public accessing City information/sof�ware applications to pay a utility bill or reserve a recreation f�ility, teclmology encompasses just about every Iocal govemment service. I have been very involved in numerous technological developments and appGcations in my nearly tweaty-two (22) years of full-time local governme�work and will cortinae the same in Tequ�sia. My involvement in technology has always bcen to promote and enhance work/employe� efficiencies and to provide for casicr public access (promote transQarenc3'/accountabilityl to cityftown/vi�la3e services at any time from just about eaywhere. In 1999 I became the first�ent head in Clearvvater to regularly utiliu and encourage the anployee expansion and utilization of laptops (in Geu of deslctops) to maximize efficiency and customer service delivery,bom��uy�a�y. The initiat additional cost of a laptop in the late 1990's(�mti!costs equalized in the late 2000's)was more than offsct by the ability to complete tasks smarter and f�ter as they could be accomplished at any time fiom multiple loc�tions evea in neighborhoods. Utilizing mobile compwting equipme�and soflware for multiple tasks includ'mg resident interaction,researching/aaalyzing infoanation, oompleting repocts, Preparing spreadsheets, and o�er utili�stion �ty enhancad over�ll municipal efficiency and effectiveaess. As the World Wide Web grew duoughout the 1990's,I easiued d�at my city was at the forefro�with both a dynamic presence and a vatued porta(for se.rvice access. Numerous soflware applications aad electr+onic communications mcluding building permit data/access,police summary calls for service,utility billing,and �+ecreation prog�ram reservations quickly became the uoim. Teclmological expansion aiso allowed for various applications in the fieid as employees embraceci the ability to complete tasks quicker and more precisely includ"mg the more accurate accowiting of various infra�chue from utility li�es to ftre 6ydrants to th� thousands of trees on City rights-of-way. Over-all, the tectmological enhancxments I directly recommeaded and assisted in dieir impleanentation fscilitated and greatly enhanced botfi resident engagement(with their local government)and employee motivation and success. Progressing into the 2010's through 2018, I similarly ensured d�at the two cities [ have worlced for (Fairmont,WV,since Dec 201�continued innovat�g via new and e�anded technologies,again with the primary goal to malce Iocal government more efficiont,more approachable/`closer'to the people,and more productive. Various projects included: automated police citatio�r/ticket processes - scanning driver licenses, in lieu af manuallY t�'Ping informatioa, and split-second in-cnuser printing, mrtomating p�ayroll processes - eliminating paper usage and its storage; P�ay-bY`Phone/mobile pm�king applicatio�rs that drastically teduced usage and stotage of cash, mainly coins; scanning all historical documents such as building pecmits, Council agendas/minutes, police records, esse�►tially aay and all print documents into pprotected �rv�s with both an internal and extemal (pubIic) usage/accessibility; automated meter irfrastructaa�e/reading{AMJ/Atl�) for customers to view hi�orical(up to 12 months)actual,daily water usage;free on-line payment optionr for various city services including utility bill, building permits, r�tion reservations,�uci various taxxas;and mblets for t;�F�nt rrine(9)Council rnembers to red�.�ce paper usage and storage and maxim'rze coaununications and pincesses particulazly for council wortc sessions aad me�ings. While the above is a sample of some of my direct pacticipation and e�cperiences,it is important to note d�at all decisions were very thoroughly res�hed for iriteraal and external usability and for its cost-benefrt. Additionally,all revicws incorpornted at all stages including post-implemen�tioq detaited internai control —. -- — - - �uhcies/prac�edures�ensur��mal�uritv- A c�g��mAles=a�ove-`mdiea��I vuit�con�e f�_-r�o� sigaificamt offorts to maximize tectmology in Tequesta to enhance all customer participation and experiences. Robin Ignacio G6mez—Answer to Question 3—Leadership is pasuasion,not domination Motivating, Buiding, exPlaining, helping to understand, setting clear/concise e�ons, leading/managmg by example — I daily utilize these management/leadership traits in my City Manager work A manager's role is ta provide reasonable and adequate overview and guidance to ensure the organization meets its objectives and gaais. Additionally, adequate infiastiucture, equipment, and budgetary reso�nces aze a must. To effectively manage a city/town/village, the manager must carefiilly balance the referenced managemenb(eadtrship traits in a persvasive manner to obtam optimaUmaximum success. Anything less than pexsuasive leadership/management will create conflict and 1�7cely lead to declining morale,motivation,and ultimately poor performance. For the past thirty-one(31)months I have managed a City utilizing the above traits to ens�me d�at all our City teams/groups fiom the senior ex�tive tu field employees understand that my expect�tions are for all employees to possess and utilize all the tools provided to succeed(to provide the most efficie�Ueffective mimicipal services), A collaborative, colkgial environme.nt whe�all employees are allowed to provide various forms of feedback via suggestions, concems, areas for improvem�t, e,tc., allows for a more ptndudive and motivated work place. I daily follow tfie concepts that succ�ss is easily achieved if employees are allowed to innovate, `think outside t�e box,' and uitimately ha.ve a d'uect say in duir work prodact That is the constant leadcrship persuasion attributes that I possess and will c�ntinue to mmpart at the V'illage of Tequesta. A specific e�nple of my persuasive leadership (not domination) involves the fostering of additiional economic developme�/redevelapment duuugh varioos process alte�ations pazticularly �velopment flexibiliiy and city beautificatioa I have irnplemented and directed an ongoing camPaign and collaboration to promote and eahance numerous devolopme�kedevelopment projects by applying significant flexibiliiy (all complying with our City codes) based on the developer's re4uests and desigos. Strict code interpretations greatty limited and resfiricted devetopme,nt in Fairmo�u�il early 2016 when a thorough iegal review of o�pianning/zoning/land use allowed for the City Manager to approve num�us requ�ests for greater flexibility. The change allowed for developments to nearly double from 20l 5 to 2017,fi+om an annual average of $14M to over $26M. Fxplaining in great detail the changes/adjustcneats aad incorporating staff participation thmughout the eatire process required considexable collaborative and pecsuasive leadership skills. I did not demand or state thax we wcre deSnitely going to maice the changes, I allowed for considerable ittpt�t from all areas of the City invotved'm atl developmecrt aspects. The program additionally provided for faster processes to bea�tif�+ the City through landscaping, architecwral and roadway design, trash/litter abatement, wayfinding enhance�neirts, and ultimately consoiidated P�anning/pecmibhng Proce�.ses. Over-all, I t�nily abi� by the concepts of constant comm�micabion, collaboration,and�erships in my management/leadership style. L1ltimately the City/Village Council provicks considerable policy and legislative guidancx that the manager must execute. Keeping the Council informed,listening to their ideas, and understanding the over-all mission and vision are similarly exire�ely important in effectively managing a city/town/village. I will offer my complete management/leadership skills to the Village of Tequesta to ensure our ultimate contin4ed success.

Village Manager/H.R.Director From:Timothy Day-Writing F.xe�rcise 1. What I believe the Tequesta community,Village Council and employees will see when they see my coming is themselves. I have be�a resident of both large and small �amnzunitias: [was a��elected of�.ci�l in rape Cnral f�9;ear� a�d I!�t e��v� govemment as an employee most of my adult life. When I say I know how they feel it's because I really have been there. A Village or Town Manager is not about status,it's about �tiility to those you serve and I will never forget that I hope that all three groups,the Tequesta community,Village Council and the employees see a person who when I eatend my hand to say it's nice to meet you know I really mean it Whether you are a resident,employee or Council member I would I�e everyone to know d�at I am here to serve.They will all see that I am a friendly person who will do everything in my power to make them feel comfortable.Their conoerns or issues become my concxm or issue.I am loyal,honest,trustworthy,compassionate and full of energy.At times I can be very inquisitive to make sure I total understand the idea or concept that is being presented.My e�gy level is high and I derive personal satisfaction at solving problems. I realize it may soimd cliche but I do have an open door policy. If I am not in a meeting or taking a phone call I like to meet with people immediately to address their concern. That level of accessibility allows all stakeholdcrs to know I tculy care.Frankly,issues arise that I just ma.y not be able to do what they aze requesting but it is my opportunity to explain why.WhsC I have discoveted in all of my years of commnnity involvement is it is not the words you use that people remember the most it is how you made them feel. When people walk out of my office they will kaow for sure I do care. I have been involved in govemment in many diffea�t positions as my resume reflects and seen a lot of inaction or excuses of the people who aze charged a+ith serving their community.This is somethmg that I would never want residents,Village Council Members or employees to ever feel or think about me.Frankly, I categorize those individuals as an empty suit Govemment should not be the bureaucracy that many people see it as.Particularly at the local level,it should be tr�ansparcnt and engaging. Obviously people will not realize all of t.�is at first glance but�ey will withi.n a very short time firame.Whether it is a resident, Village Council member or employee they will realize they can confiide in me and should a personal issue arise for th�m it gces no further than me. In the end I want to be part of t.�e community an�I;�aat my faznily ta part of�c�mmuaity. �waie ta�i�vaiv�in neighborhood groups and any community activities that allow me to participate in.Over the years I have participated in my cam*rn�„iry by coaching little league baseball,soccer, church activities and if those oppornmities arise in Tequesta I would be happy to participate once again. T,��y�ay 2. Adopting tecchnology must be embraced by governmcnt at all levels.Govemment cannot lag behind the rest of society rather it should be a leader.We live in a worid where news is reportad on-line 24 hours a day and we can research just about anything we want information on immediately.When I served with the Florida Department of Law Enforc;ement back in the 1990's the primary method of tracking law enforcement officers around the state was based largely on paper reports.When a new system called ATMS was developed it was met with tremendous resistance from the Regional FDLE Reps that were in the fieid;.onducting background checks�d certifiring new of�icsr�. I was one of a small group at FDLE who found ways to correct the issues with pro mme�rc�j mg]�e ATMS a success. It was possible at that time that officers with less than admirable work histories could move from one ond of the state to another and gain employment in the law enforcement field Eventually we persuaded the resistors to give the n�w system a chance and it worked.Today it is still the primaty mecl�anism for tra�cldng offic�s throughout the state.When I took over the Sauhwest Florida Public Service Academy in 2002 there was not even a website.I coa�that in short order and the site became utilized immediately. It was used for everyt�hing from inquiries for upaoming training, mquire�ts for entry into the ac�demies as well as a well to have contacx with my staff and myself immediately.The site is continually being upgraded today but I was the person who implemented i�Later l developed a newsletter in which any law enforcement or fire depar�me�t can subscn'be W.I would not only list the upcoming events but I reproduced stories that had relevance to all the disciplines I served. If a positive or negative event occa�rred I shared it with the public safety community.That list aLso gave me the idea to send out surveys affivally to the people on my list in order that I could d�ecmine what level of seivice I was providing.When improvements were needed as a result I did not take it as an insult,just a way of providing better service.Just recently in my canrent position I changed the financial softwaze that had been utilized for al�nost 10 yeazs. It was called fund balance and it did not provide real time financial data.My budget is almost 11 million dollars and I knew I nesded real time data. It was met by resistence with the 4 employees in the F'inance Department at first but today they would tell you they wished it happened earlier.The new system is called Village Management and I have access to the latest financial data immediately.Something else I do at least once a week is sending out email blasts to the community. I cover everything from street closures to recreation information. I began u 'li�in this ri�t before hurricane Irma and the oommunity really appreciates it. I have not studied the Tequesta website closely enough to determine if this could be done there. It does seem possible because my email blasts g�t to about 2C�G email a3dr-rass�s.�is syst.,:,m daes aiiow me to respcmd�a people day or night They right back with quesrions or in some cases just their opinions.With a papulation of approximately 4000 I believe it would work in Tequesta. It would not be praceical in larger communities. I will always be on the lookout for technologies that enh.ance resident's exp�ience. I I fY1C?� y �i 3. The question of"leadership is persuasion,not domination"is a topic tUat I believe I could teach a course on.I have seen and worked for some of the most domineering supervisors and some of the weakest Leadership is actually an art form because you can teach elements of it but if personality dces not buy into it you will struggle. I have described this in the past at a management class at the police academy. I have told participants employees will salute as you�o as yo�s ge over the cliff when r.hey could have prevented it The supervisors who have the belief they have all the answers and it's my way or the highway struggle. What I was trying to impress upon new supervisors was if you treat employees as if they have no true value or never listen to their thoughts or opinions when you are about to make a mistake they allow it to happen.I,eadership is ttuly trying to build a consensus and above all else being an adive listenea.The person who makes decisions without first having an understanding of the ramificatians many rimes does more damage.Whexher it is youc janitorial staff or department heads every person plays a vital role in the sucoess of the organization,Believe me never take the role of janitorial staff lightly;they travel around within the organization as though they are invisible.Yet they seem to gather as much information as an intelligence agency.A good leader figures out ways to get employees to function at a higher level without being the dominator.The example that I am going to give you supports my beliefs. The public works employees at Melbourne Beach worked extremely hard for me and they leazned how to do many things that were not in their job description.They really felt they wanted new challenges and it ma�de them feel valuable.Ent�r the new manager,the vcry first day on the job he shows up to the public worlcs facility at 7:30 am and sees the staff having a coffee.He told them there was a new boss and this behavior was over.What he did not]rnow was this was how we began the day, giving out assignments at this informal meeting and discussing any odd repairs in the town.Those same workers went out of their way for me because I made them feel significant in the town. I ran movies in the park for the children and families on several Friday nights before holidays and those employees volunteered to help me.They just wanted to be a part of something they lmew the community enjoyed. That being said that accounts for 95%of Leadership.The remaining 5%and probably less comes in emergency situations where your manager must be authoritative and there is no time for persuasion.For example,hours before husicane Mathew siruck the National Weather Service was calling for a dired stn7te on ivielboume Beach as a strong category-4 storm. I ordered the police to evacuate as well as fire.ivly direction was all ��e ve+�ci�s��a;��.ia�� v2s:c�i��ved��m'�IL'_��rn�vyac��c scattered inland.The reason was I did not want all of the equipment in one place because if the wo�t happened we wouid not have equipment to get public safety back up and running when the storm passed.In this type of situation authoritative is necessary.The challenge is knowing when persuasian is ineffective and a stronger position must be --�--- - - - ��.

They will see a strong an�d experienced yex compsssianate, kind-hearted leade� who is in�bly passionate about and absolutely committed to public sexvice.She is a seasoned professional and a lifelong learner who has spent most of h�cr life and all of her career in Palm Beach County and celebrates the wonderhil and unique qualities of its communi�cularly the vex�r special places such as the Village of Tequesta. She has bcen privileged to work in two other very special places, Wellington and Delray Beach, wIuch has give�n her t�e oppornmrty to work on�ust about every issue and aspect of local government from the beach to tl�e `burbs,from the envunnment to economic development,from fmauce to future gen�tions,from culture and communications to c�stom�seavicx aod so on. T7iey will see her leading by example with Irigh morals and ethical sts�rds; a true team player and simationsl manager willing w take any sest at the table to aa:omplish Village gnals whether it means rolling up hea sleeves to help or supportively standing back to let ot�ers drive towards succes,sfi�l solutions and altematives. She has bcen descnbed as bot�intuitive and a quick stud��aits that serve hea well in pe�aps her 8reatest skills:collaborating and build'mg consensus. She is woll spoken and diplomaric and does her hom�work on issues. H'ighly self-aware,she unde�stands her impact on others so she will almost always look to ge,t i�ut from a variety of people,within the organization a�the community,to evaluate the best way to mova fo�rward before eapressmg hGr opinion (where, of course, time allows and this approach is possible). That said,she has no difficulty in decision making or recommen�ding diffiicah,Yet neces.sary options. ��y�,��uy a�g�na��;even in times of high pressure and/or stressful situatians,she takes a quie�t and calm approach to getting work doae. She also l�ces w have fim and enaw�rages a oollegial wo�c environment. She invests in her staff, cultivates ti�eu�tale�nts and sets s�etch goals for tfieir professional development. Succession planning is key to sustainability. She is approachabl�, transparent and believes in listening, le,arning and building relationshigs. She is wholly authe.ntic and a �uly bI� person who ge,�uinely cazes about people, individually, organizationally and as a oommunity. She is recognized for her thoughtfulness, end�usiasm, accountability and results orientation, Not surprisingly, she is a champion of work-life balance and cvntinuous improvement She supports employee i�ealth and well-being initiatives along with approaches that provide for greater efficieacy and effediv�ess. She would describe herself as a specialiud�ene�ralist,very�owledgeable about and eapaienced 'm all facets of local governnnent an�d holds three sig�uficant professional cxrrifications: oertified public �countant,oertified planner and certifiod city manager. She has invested much in the profession, serves on numerous Nati.onal, State and local boards a�d committees, is recognized for her expertise and is a frequent speaker,instructor and guest l�cdirer. She has been on the leading edge of technology as well as business processes,performance management,strategic planning and budgeting and reporring. Sbe is a recognizzed eapeit in budget best practices by the Florida League of Cities as well as the Governmeni Finance Officers Association and the Intemational City and County Managet's Association She is a visionary and a problem solver and has the ability to bring about strategic change with a core belief in building resiliency and meeting the current and fi�ture needs of community with creativiry and innovation within the Village's vision and cons�rain�ts.She has a keen intemal and extemal awazr�ness and - -- ic T F+.rPr�mr rYrram cr �� ,rP n �r�ir �p - a.�.,n �P�8:!.^.::��.,�:;•� � �•�• •••�• • �• ��I'a..— - ---- _� - --- - -�v - _ � 3�_3....f,- _. ...�� .. . .,.., � .5.... ::.::..:'.,5 E.:.:.t. Francine L.Rama,glia Tequesta Writing Fxercise July 13,2018 believes in leveraging the strengths of team members to build vision and goals while ma;n_ ra�n��a focus on values and ethical wodc. One of h�r key strengths is seeing govemment from a systems pecspective while und�standing that people wotk in and are served by those systems. With finely tuned technical s]a1Ls, fmancial acumen and �mderstanding of all aspects of local govemment, she expects and delive.rs results and desired outcomes never forgettmg that civility is paramount; even in uncomfortable �imnm. anCCS,she treats everyone with courtesy,sensitivity and respect. She is a hue believer: in community,in people and in local govemment. She thrives on civic engagement anu pubiic involvemenc and is steadiast tha�t our core mission is co come coge[her in service oy answering five simple questions in everything we do: • Does it foster a family environment and strengthen the character of our community? • Does it promote safe and livable n�ighborhoods? • Does it support our busmess partners? • Does it�the value of our community? • And most�portantly,Is it the rr.ght thing to do? The partriership between council, staff and customers (residents and businesses and visitors)requires a delicate and dehbtrate taich to maintain its balance and to create a solid platfo�m for the fudue. The dichotomies of preserving the c�arm of the Village with its unique teature and amnosphere and keeping up with technology,fiscal and economic chall�ges,societal and environmental tre�ds as well as the oth� cantinuous changes all around us requires her special talents and experience. She will tirelessly work to se,rve the organization and the community. As part of her personal career developme�nt, she undergoes a camprehensive "360" evaluation by employees, employers, community members, staff, pee� and o�er professionals at least every 5 years. The independent evaluation was done by a third pazty provider,Corexel,last year and included results of nearly 20 people surveyed. It is attac�ed as it is clearly a good measure of what the Tequesta community, Village Council and employee.s will see. Francine L.Ramaglia Tequesta Writing Fxercise July 13,2018 Question 2: How involved have you been in adopting and imptemenling technologic�l changes in your organization; and how will you use your knowledge and ezperience to ensure that Tequesta is maximizing technology to enhance customer ezperience? From the earliest moments of my career, I have been tasked with implementing and ms:�mi�ing technology. At KPMG,I earned several special designations and was responsible for leading our internal technology programs as well as for dat�mining, evaluating client systems and re-directing "iunaway system"implementations at both large and small organizations. In Wellington,I led 3 ERP selections and impiemeatanons,one ot whicii outsourced our futl IT runction;when we reached the limrts ot ttie contract, we brought it back in house and even provided contract s�vices for other local governmeats. I was reoognized for implementing leading practices in open government(we were the first government of our size to be invited to data.gov), transparency, GIS, community engagement and customer service. For instance,we implemented e-se�vices—including but not limited to sutomated inspection scheduling and tiracking as well as electronic plan review—ahead of tho curve. We also harnessed the power of social media and online public input—for instance,realtime emergency flood mapping and the budget challenge. Because our efforts were widely recognized, I was invited to speak at numerous conferences (ICMA, FCCMA, GFOA, FGFOA, Alliance for Innovation and so on) and led technology showcases for the American Planners Association presenting our approach to open government using GLS and social media including,among other things,the wide range of datasets we maintained(as many as 300 functioning/edit layers) and how we aocessed many others as well as a number of apps we created, in some cases, on demand.For instance, • We used Gr,S to solve a variety of issues as well as to address immediate needs. Not only did we use GLS for storm damage assessment we also cr�ated severa!interactive"map apps"for notifying residents of flooding,road closures and other urgent storm updates. • Another simple ap�-Public Info Center—gives an update on capital activity occuaing in the community,those that are planned as well as emergencies such as line repairs and service requests. It also provides information on evenLs and let's the user see other cuirent social media activity in town. � We also used geocoded survey data in making decisions that impact areas differently. Such is the case with the pubIic discussion on whether to allow and where to allow RVs in our comm�mity. G�S along with other social media added a wholly differen.t dim.ension to the discussion enabling a far more informed vote � We ma.pped all ldnds of data (including crowdsourced info) and developed citywide and neighborhood�erfarmance measures geocoded and visually�nderstandable In su�mary, we sought to use GLS as the pivot point between the organization and the community, between data and decisions, between requests and service, between people and paper, between social media and deliberate communication. We used it for planning and projects and programs in multiple and vastly differing areas from �ighborhood services to economic development to project applications to commimity design,to building community and engagement Francine L.Ramaglia Tequesta Writing Eaercise July 13,2018 We also automated the customer service fimctions, creating a one stop shop with a queuing system, centralized phone bank,self service kiosks,protocols for callbacks and follow through for the customers. The pmcess included customer surveys and satisfaction indices as well as a comprehensive dashboard identifying performance me�ics and aleits. We were able to show trem�ndous results immaiiately upon implemeintatian. �n Delray,I led a complexe ovea�haul of the TT fimcbion,from cybersecuiity issues to telephone system and cell tower replac;ement to broadband, fibea and wifi infias�.ucture to a brand new website and bolt-on �turions and sy�tem,training tu ERP asse.ssmenc,selecdon and impiementadon. kec�ntly,l have workec� with local gover�ents to implement best practices to improve cuswmer service and efficiency by automating processes from end to end by: • Conductmg gaP analysis of cunent s3'st.�s/aPplications compared with organizational needs • Identifymg strategies and best practices while taking advantage of eaisfiing and available technology solurions • Expanding utilizarion of vendor portals and/or interfaces, ie, banking system feat�es, to avoid duplication of effort,reduce cycle time,enhance reporting and improve customer service • Enhancing websites as an easy to navigate a�d customer friendly source of information and means of 24l1 service,streamlining workflows to provide seamless wstomer focused service,shifting towards paperless environments and'mtegrating multiPle databases ffid syste.ms. • De�'eloPmg, SimPlified, risk-based, dransparent tracking, reporting and monitoring—inciuding dashboards and performance measures "Co�ng the 3ots"is super-cxitical in leadership, decision makmg and solurions. This is my strong suit htoreove�, selec�ing and implementing technology is hig6ly dependent on "custome�' needs — inteanally and externalIy. For example,intemal customcrs need t�chnologies to speak to each other with ease, data colla;tion with emphasis on what is tivly important for goveming. Extemal customers may wa�ease of online access,real time information and oonv�ience of one stop shop.It's important to map processes end to end to view the system from a macro level as well as the micro. It is also important to communicate and educate as much as possi3le. I have tremendous acc;ess to resource,s as I have long been an active member of the IC�fA Advisory Panel on Tecl�nology as wedl as its Sustainable Communities Committee. I am also pazt of their Smart Cities Initiative and recentiy published an aiticle on how local governments need to prepare. I have been bles.sed with the opportunity to pretty mach do it all when it comes to technology and I love that it will never be a "one and done" as the speed of change continues to grow. It is also an all- encompassing and inclusive process and cannot be done without a team and effective govemance. In Tequesta, I would bring my strong hackgrc►und and expe�ienee to bear in w�rlcan, with the st�ff,the Council and the Commimity to assess technology needs. Tbrough a callaborative effort with Villa.ge staff and other end users, I would devetop priorities and options for the Viilage council on how to improv� technology to the advantage of ead users. Any teGtmology solution must maintai.n or improve customer service as well as their experi�ce and ease of interaction with the Village. Francine L. Ramaglia Tequesta Writing Exercise July 13, 2018 Question 3: Share wifih us your thoughts on the statement `�.eadership is persuasiou, not domination,"ating one personal exampl�to support yaur opinion. Onc of the Mayors I worked very closely with over the yeats,Mayor Anne Gerwig, has told me that I wrote the book on leadership through persuasion rather than domination. Another career me,ntor of mine often laughed that I am an effective guardrail—I let people go where they need to go,but I won't let them fall off the cli.ff. And yet another manager I worlced wi�f�maay years said it is a delight to wo=k with me as I will dance with you into the right place. I took each of these as compliments because I believe ti�t govaman.x and l�ader�hi�r t�lce tnany skills,�nd key among rhem are open cwo way communieacion at every level, appreciation for many viewpoints and that conflict (where handled with civility) is somethiag that can lead to beuer solutions. Public serc+�ice and people are my passion. I also thrive on s�ategic planning aligned with fimding and other policies,etc. to deliver result�. That includes listening and finding ways to build the consensus that creates buy in which leads to accountability and results. This daes not require domination; it requires facilitation, insight, diplomacy, facts and lnderstsL*,�tin of facts, ability to synthesize sometimes emotianal and/or complicated situations into plain speak,and the paticace to let people fmd their way to appropiiate co�lusions themselves based on facts. Throughout my career, I have been the point person intemally and ezternally. In Weltingt,on, I led the team to create the strategic planning, visioning and budget processes as well as t�e fnst economic developme�t initiative (Wellington 2060) as well as the original Green Team which produced the sustainabilitY Program- F..ach of these efforts requu�immense teamwork and open,heahhy dialog with consideration of everyone's perspecave(We did presentations and public education at almost every civic group and intervie�vs with hundreds of people as well as conducted open fomms and workshops). Through consensus,a culture of teamwork,desire to meet or eaceed oommunity expectations for service and strong community and organizational values,we put tog�thcr all encompassing plans that were not only adopted but embracod and even today form the backbone of the WelIington's directions. Clearly leadership through engagement and educ�tion that build tivst based on persuasian,and not domination. Civ�ity with both passionate and compassionate adult dialog allows for diverse perspectives and healthy disagreement without violating the dignity of individuals. I have and will never embrace the`�s vs.them" mindset and seek to dispell its effect in our workplace by creating an environment shapod by ac�ions and follow though to build trust and to drive a strong culture. That said, there is a difference between lead�ship and management,and while both require disti�y different skills,communication,recogaizing and appropriately ut�izing skilLs and talents,understanding the benefits and limitations of available tools and Ieading by example aze all part of persuasive leadership. Fmm a management perspective,there are times directives,rather than collaborative solutions or approaches,aze necessary. That dces not equaxe to dominance if the need for+he comma�d decision is understood ae.d appropriat�. sn�eiray, :was the liaison to all commimity and civic groups and not-for-protits and�ther partnerships and served on numerous boards representing the Ciry. It was during a time of great unrest aad friction betwxn tho City,the community and these various boards and agencies.
