What do you think the Turnover rate is for employees over at City Hall? The rate of retention is staggeringly LOW and should be a concern to everyone! We need an HR Manager, for goodness sakes.
-P.S.
good point!
I say we get rid of a majority of the staff and start over fresh
Who took the City Attorney's place, I hear he was fired by CMH2 Hill? Is this true, anyone have any info on this?
Hopefully the staff is much better now with those awful mean council members gone. I cant blame them for leaving?
Speaking of Mr. Scott...
I don't know about his current employment status but I'm curious about the records/invoices paid by the City for his services.
For instance, when the Bovos "closed meetings" took place, Scott and another lawyer from his same law firm billed the City. I read about this in the Milton Herald. Thanks to them, the public gets information occasionally about what happens down at City Hall. (Thank you Jason.)
Wouldn't that be beneficial to Mark Scott and his law firm and be considered "double billing"? Shouldn't Mark Scott have been able to take care of the exit of Bovos alone. And if not, certainly he could have hired another lawyer from outside his firm.
Once again, could this be considered a conflict of interest considering the City of Milton and its expenditures. In the end we, the citizens, will end up paying for this or any other lack of expertise and control. Who is keeping tabs of all the money the City is spending on frivolous law suits, ethics charges, and salaries?
When an employee of CH2M Hill who worked for/at the City of Milton leaves, is there a change officially made to the invoices for services performed? Who is in charge of this paperwork? Who is reviewing our bills? Would this be handled by a CH2M Hill employee also?
So many questions and not many answers-yet. Will someone who knows something about this kindly respond. And please do not call me names for asking. Someone has to ask questions. And since no one else seems to be, publicly and willing to post their name, I'm taking the chance that someone will listen and look into it.
And, another thing. The City of Milton needs an employee advocate, a morale booster, and a dedicated staff member to ensure our City staff is well taken care of because I am certain that they have not been. If these concerns took place in the private sector, the boss would be all over it. An orgnization is only as good as the people working for them (and their job satisfaction).
- Patti Silva
P.S. Perhaps someone on our City Council would be willing to look into this and respond in a way that those concerned can understand the process. Perhaps via the Milton Herald again?
And perhaps, CH2M Hill should consider hiring a PR professional in addition to dedicated HR personnel.
Maybe the city employees would stick around if certain council members were not always in their business looking over their shoulder.
Patti, I'm not calling you names.
You have asked questions here that, in my opinion, you can not get qualified answers from the public at large. Would it not be best to go to the source for answers. Acting City Manager, City Council, individually or collectively, Mayor and CH2M Hill.
If you are not satisfied with response, and want someone to investigate, you might contact Jason Wright. But whatever you do, do not contact "Gumshoe" for such investigation...he has bigger fish to fry.
With reference to attorney double billing, this is in article, posted on 08/07/2007, on this blog, by Doug Nurse of AJC, entitled "Personnel Discussions over city manager to cost Milton $11,000.
Good luck because you will need it.
Council members looking over employees shoulders in their business....Say it aint so.
Didn't former City Mgr. Bovos try to get council members to come to him before personally contacting legal counsel, and that would not fly.
This could be another question for Patti to ask: Do you have a published chain of command and is it followed, going both ways, that is, UP and DOWN?
Fulton County is looking better every day!!
Hey Y'all,
I had no idea what a gumshoe was before this blog. See, you can learn new things on AM. In case there is someone else who didn't know, here is the definition I found on the web:
gum·shoe n.
A sneaker or rubber overshoe.
2. Slang An investigator, especially a detective.
intr.v. gum·shoed, gum·shoe·ing, gum·shoes Slang
1. To work as a detective.
2. To move about stealthily; sneak.
"It turns out that the original "gumshoes" of the late 1800's were shoes or boots made of gum rubber, the soft-soled precursors of our modern sneakers... At the turn of the century "to gumshoe" meant to sneak around quietly as if wearing gumshoes, either in order to rob or, conversely, to catch thieves. "Gumshoe man" was originally slang for a thief, but by about 1908 "gumshoe" usually meant a police detective, as it has ever since."
So then, who is OUR gumshoe??
-Patti
Or rather, I should ask who is the Gumshoe the anonymous poster is talking about above?
Alpharetta had RJ
Milton had OB
Think Gumshoe must be former council member...whose neighbors would not vote for him. He had been on a go team....must have gotten on it again and is gone...
