Employee Show Your Ass Night at the Workshop Meeting
The most interesting thing to come out of the workshop last night was the appaling behavior of the city employees. A few examples:
Chuck Boone
During the discussion of whether to give Boone a raise or not, some questions were raised about job performance and how to handle giving this position a raise affects budgetary mattters once a real PW Director is hired. Someone said they should table the issue until an executive session after the next council meeting. I am not sure if he was insinuating he would quit, but Boone started slamming down his paperwork and then said something about the city should start looking to hire someone. (I thought it had been previously agreed to wait until a CA is hired, but since when does the city council/mayor follow-up or follow-through on anything.)
Lisa Rodolfi
When presenting her ideas for the Beautification Funds, she took a my way or the highway approach. Rodolfi wanted to prioritize her pet projects. She wanted her chosen few on the committee and noone else. Rodolfi said if that didn't happen, she would "wash her hands" of the whole thing. She then proceeded to go on a profanity-laced rant with the council.
Sherry Middlecamp
The biggest winner and definitely one to put the PW department in the most negative light. She interrputed the meeting. Why wasn't the police chief escorting her out of the building? She is a hypocrite! Despite an ongoing dialogue during the meeting that can only be described as both saracastic and bitchy, this city employee later calls an elected official a saracastic bitch!
Just to refresh your memories, this is the lady who got a patronage job, couldn't handle her original assignment and was put into Public Works where she could do less harm. But, less harm only if you were not the employee let go to make room for this "rat".
