ABSTRACT: Highlights of a Letter to the Editor (‘Carmel lacks integrity’) by former city employee Stephanie Pierce [sic], in today’s The Monterey County Herald are presented. A former 34 year employee with the City, Stephanie Pearce based her letter on her observations working at City Hall between 2004 and 2008, when she retired from city service.
Highlights of Letter: 'Carmel lacks integrity:'
• “...city government in Carmel is badly broken.”
• “During the time I worked in the administration department, I observed a pattern of avoiding and ignoring resident and staff concerns on the part of upper management.”
• “I observed the mayor pursue pet projects and ignore the compromising circumstances being reported about the city administrator.”
• “A majority of department managers were forced out, leaving a leaderless skeleton staff to provide non-safety services to residents. Remaining management staff often had difficulty scheduling time with the city administrator while long meetings and long lunch hours with employee A or employee B occurred frequently."
Note: Employee A, Christie Miller; employee B, Heidi Burch
• “...the quality of the city government was demonstrated by its callous treatment of Building Official John Hanson and the recent departure of the exceptionally capable administrative service director.”
