FROM:Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez 
DATE:January  11, 2017
 



SUBJECT:DISCUSS ADOPTING A CHARTER BALLOT QUESTION ASKING CITY VOTERS WHETHER CITY COMMISSIONERS SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO HIRE AND FIRE THEIR OWN ADMINISTRATIVE AIDES.

ANALYSIS

Please include a discussion item on the January 11, 2017 Commission Agenda, regarding adopting a Charter Ballot question asking City voters whether City Commissioners should have the right to hire and fire their own Administrative Aides.

Mayor Levine is not allowing me to hire or fire my own Aide. I feel that my present employment situation leads my office open to compromise. I cannot work for my constituents, and my office is subject to the whim and caprices of Mayor Philip Levine.
