Re: Resignation from Winter Springs Commerce & Industry
Development Board.
commissioner Jacobs:
Firstly, I am appreciative of the fact that you appointed me to
subject Board last year. As I told you initially I would gladly
serve on this Board if, in fact, it was a no nonsense Board where
we could accomplish some things that were beneficial to the City.
I was delighted with the other Board members as they are all
busy, successful business persons who tend to take charge, get
the job done, and don't waste valuable time. We were all assured
that the City (Commissioners, staff, boards, etc.) would not try
to impede our mission. Such has not been the case. Two
Commissioners have publicly stated they voted on City business
based on personalities and not merit. In addition, there are
certain staff that are guilty of the same scenario. We are
competing with other municipalities in trying to bring industry
and commerce to Winter Springs and the current environment in the
City is definitely not helping us. The City used to have an
excellent reputation in general and it is a shame certain
individuals tend to mar it. The majority of the Commissioners
and staff are competent and fair. Anyway, I will not freely
share my time in an effort to benefit the City under the given
conditions. I trust you understand.
Respectfully Submitted,
