Dear ML Sexton:
Operating in a cost-efficient marmer, which is demanded of all taxpayers, constantly
challenges government. Part of this challenge is hiring and retaining competent
management personnel, Many government entities need consultants to achieve this task
because of a lack of expertise in their Human Resource Department.
On behalf of the Council, I want to commend you and your staff for an excellent job in
our search for a new city manager. I have no doubt that your knowledge and expertise
during this process has saved our city $15,000,00 to $20,000.00 by eliminating the need
for any outside consultants. Your ability in advertising, market value, and an awareness
of the philosophy ofthis Council, made this city manager selection process orderly and
professional, No one can point to any irregularities with the process you developed.
You and your staff have provided another shining example of why our citizens trust our
employees and why our residents love Sebastian. I am very proud of the effort put rorth
by you and yom staff as yom department continues to prove "good government" exists in
the City of Sebastian.
As we enter the genesis of a new city manager tenure, I have every confidence that you
and your staff will make the transition an easy and efficient event, Once again,
congratuiations to you and yom staff and continue your great work for the citizens of
Sebastian.
Sincerely,
Nathan B. McCollum
Mayor
