Mayor of Titus Building Scott Laze has been enabled on March 31 and has retired in that position more than 10 years later.
“I’m looking forward to the announcement that I am retired from Titasville,” said Razez, a member of the Titusville City Council by e -mail sent on Friday. “I have decided to start the next chapter of this wonderful journey. According to the employment contract, I need to provide the 60 -day notice to the council.”
The council members said at the 5 -hour and a half -day meeting last week that his announcement did not recognize the retirement timeline in advance.
However, Sarah Stockel, a member of the Titusville City Council, said on Monday that the average period of the mayor was three to five years, and he was completely surprised. Laris has entered the private sector, and has a 25 -year military career before entering the municipal government.
Most of the city council, most of the time of Laze’s employment as a city manager, said she was generally satisfied with Raze’s performance. She quoted the relatively strong budget of the Titus Building. The police and the fire department. Efforts to balance the growth of the city and the preservation of the green area. STOECKEL said it was powerful in emergency management such as hurricanes and COVID-19.
“He’s a good leader,” said the stalk. “He did a really good job. Overall he was a wonderful city manager.”
The annual salary of Larese is $ 228,321.60.
Frequency with members of the city council
However, Ride and Megan Moscoso, a member of the city council, got used to during the Council on January 28. Moskoso questioned the mayor’s transparency of some recent sewage and regenerative water.
Moscoso, selected in November, should not hear about such cases from the municipal administration, rather than listening to her and other councilors through calls from members and social media. I mentioned.
The Titus Building reported to the Osprey sewer factory to the Florida Environmental Protection Bureau in January.
January 12: The sewage partially treated with 15,000 gallons. 3,750 gallons enter the rainwater pond and 11,250 gallons on the ground. 24: 24,431 It affects the recycled water in Gallon and the lagoon of the Indian River. 28: 19,375 Gallon regenerated water and the lagoon of the Indian River.
“My beef has no leak,” said Moskoso. “We intend to have them. I really upset that the information is not actually given to us (at the council). My biggest concern is what we are. If you do not know if it is happening, make a decision based on the improvement of infrastructure.
Moscoso was also told that she should not call the city staff to discuss the problem, and when she was told that she had to make her inquiry in writing, she was a member of the council. I feel it is difficult to work. “
“In fact, it was easy for citizens to get information,” said Moscoso, through a public record request. “As a member of the council, I feel that my hands are more tied up. I feel it is really difficult to get the necessary information.”
Moskoso told her that she had asked too many requests, and she was asking too many questions.
Lazes told Moscococo that if members of the city council contacted the city’s employees directly, they would not know who would answer them.
“Employees don’t know who to answer if they are overwhelmed by too many leaders to guide them,” said Laze. “It’s a balanced act.”
Moskoso said that there is a correlation between the discussion at the council and the timing of the mayor’s retirement announcement, but I do not think that is the case.
Laze did not respond to the message left at the city hall, so he was looking for additional comments.
The importance of communication, transparency
STOECKEL agreed that communication with the community was important, and feared that the city leaders were restricting what kind of information is spread by Titusville’s public relations staff.
“I want to give this information,” said STOECKEL. “When we are not transparent, we seem to be doing something wrong.”
STOECKEL said that transparency is a way to reconstruct trust among residents. “And frankly, we are not doing it.
“I don’t always agree, but I enjoyed working with him,” said Laraze, the mayor of Titasville, who was elected Mayor of Titasville in November.
Larese wrote as follows in a retirement letter to the members of the council. “”
STOECKEL tells her that Larese would not have to stay by March 31 if the members of the council wanted to do so while looking for a new urban manager. I did it.
“He didn’t want to leave us high and dry,” said STOECKEL.
Conners said that Palm Bay and Cape Kana Beral had an additional city manager vacancy, and that the mayor search may have additional disabilities. Palm Bay and Cape Kanaberal City Council recently fired the mayor and have a provisional manager in the post.
Conners said that the members of the Titasville City Council would discuss the process of replacing the romise at the next meeting.
Before being nominated as a Titus Bill City Manager, Raze was the manager of the Columbus State University of Columbus. The Conference Center offers leadership and sales training, and Lazes used to work in the Army for 25 years, including the defensive captain of Fort Trucker, Alabama.
In 2014 he was selected from more than 65 applicants in 27 states and succeeded Mark Lyan. Ryan was a Titus Bir City Manager for seven years before leaving for becoming the mayor of Indian Harbor Beach.
