Don't Hire An Idiot

He sucked up to the former city manager big time. Then she turned around and fired his sorry ass (but let him retire to save face.) Karma, just what the Kiss Ass deserved.

RB was a useless idiot. A micromanaging ,indecisive numbskull. JV fits the mold somewhat. RB screwed over BM for slick Willie and the ones he did the favor for stuck it up his sorry a$$

RB also screwed over other good people besides BM. He would have screwed over his own mother if he thought it would buy him one more day with the department. He left the agency with not one ounce of dignity or respect from anyone. No legacy, no nothing - other than being known for being spinless. Glad he got what he deserved. He left despised.

I agree 1000000000%

I to agree. RB has not shown his face since he left, and GOOD. I here he’s come in to qualify, only Mo has to see him for that.

Chief Williams, please don't replace recently departed Slick Willie with another ignorant political hack like he was. You need a competent person with good judgement. As an example of Slick Willie's incompetence please consider the following. When the building department's electrical inspector was not available a genius in city hall told SW to send out a code officer to conduct electrical inspections. SW ordered a code officer to go out and do them. The code officer rightly refused. The code officer was not a certified and licensed electrician, as required by law, and had no clue about the topic. The whole thing would have violated state laws and the Florida building code laws. In addition the liability would have been incredible for the city, not to mention the safety factor. Either Slick Willie was too stupid to know better or did not have the balls to say no. Probably both. When someone complained about some trash on the Homestead Extension of the Turnpike he sent a code officer to deal with it. He did not know that it was FDOT's job to handle it. West of Flamingo Road along the county line is a row of homes in Miami Dade County. SW ordered a code officer to issue Notices of Violation to the Miami Dade residents in Miami Dade. He fully knew it was Miami Dade. Do MPD officers make arrests in Dade County because some Miramar resident does not like someone's conduct in Miami Dade? I could go on an on about SW's lack of knowledge and extremely poor judgement. I could write down examples until tomorrow. So what's the point? The point is that you as Chief, your administration, department, and the residents deserve better. Please step up to the plate and resist any efforts to replace him with another unqualified political hack again. Please get involved in the process and get someone who is very qualified and exercises good judgement like we had before SW. Thank you.

Do you people have any idea how. many bad liens were filled against properties due to this guy. Liens filed in total disregard for state law. They are now starting to come to light by title companies and real estate attorneys. They are actionable in civil cases known as "clouding a title." The former manager was adamant about following the law. WJ didn't even know what the law was. We tried to tell him but he would not listen. Oh well, who gives a damn anyway? Soon!!!

The state law is pretty clear on code enforcement. The state laws are taught at Florida's School of Government - in South Florida at FAU. Besides the law they teach the current court case laws on the subject. There are four week long courses with state exams and verifications. There are multiple one day specific ongoing training classes. Maybe someone should have been hired who could pass basic level one, and not fail it! Many jurisdictions are being sued with high dollar consequences for failure to follow the laws. The city attorney used to tell us that we were the best functioning code enforcement division of any city he had seen, and he said he had seen many. Now it is the worst of any city!! Funny thing - even a lawn mower repair man would know that the state laws should be followed. By the way, we are talking about tens of thousands of dollars of liens here, and not in total - but on multiple single properties. Many fraudulently gotten and filed against property titles.

By the way the law says that cities or counties that use magistrates are governed by the same laws as code boards.
