OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM 2001
TO: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
From: Steven Alexander, City Manager
DATE: January 17, 2013 Agenda Item No.:
SUBJECT: A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to provide Mr. Kelly
Barket, Jr. a bonus for his outstanding service as Acting City Manager
for the City of South Miami, which is representative of 20% of his
current annual salary for a two month period.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Article III, Section 4 of the City Charter, the City Commission of
the City of South Miami has the authority to appoint an Acting City Manager to
serve for the period of temporary absence or disability of the City Manager
when the City Manager fails to recommend an Acting City Manager beforehand.
The City of South Miami Commission appointed Mr. Kelly Barket, Jr. as Acting
City Manager on November 9, 2012, during the temporary absence of a City
Manager until someone could be selected for that office.
As per the City's personnel manual adopted on December 20, 2011 via
resolution 240- I I - 1 3554, an interim or acting appointment occurs when an
employee is requested to temporarily fill a vacant position to carry out the
duties and responsibilities thereof for a limited period of time. Typically, such
appointments are for the sole purpose of carrying out essential functions until
the hiring cycle is complete and a full -time employee fills the vacancy or brief
absences due to vacation, illness or other short -term conditions. Pursuant to
the personnel manual an employee who fulfills a position in a higher
classification than his or her current position for more than 10 consecutive
working days on an interim basis shall be paid additional compensation equal to
5% of his or her current salary. In this instance when an employee is asked to
fulfill the significant responsibilities of the City Manager, a substantially larger
increase is warranted and customary.
Based on a 5% increase, Mr. Kelly Barket, Jr. earned a total additional
compensation of $635.22. It is my recommendation that the City provide a full
20% increase for the effort and professional service he provided and for the
extraordinary work he completed during his tenure as Acting City Manager,
only for the two month period in which he served in that capacity. Therefore,
provide an additional $2,1 18 bonus to Mr. Kelly Barket Jr. which combined
would be representative of 20% of his current annual salary.
