Message
to BCPAO Employees
As many of you know I worked for the Property Appraiser’s Office
for more than 22 years. I had first started out as a file clerk and through
the years I worked my way up to Systems and Special Projects Manager.
I’m proud of the fact that I was able to work in or with most departments
within the Brevard County Property Appraiser’s Office.
I was once asked, “Didn’t your mother every teach you that
life isn’t fair?” Well I don’t remember how I responded
at that moment but I do know that even thought life isn’t always
fair, we should always try to treat others fairly. I pledge fairness in
carrying out the responsibilities of the Office of the Property Appraiser
in my dealing with the public and with each and every one of you.
One promise that I will make to you right here and now is to post all
job openings to give all of you a chance for advancement.
And I can assure you that office policies will not be changed at a moments
notice to accommodate the desires of a select few.
I will have a true Open Door Policy. If you feel at anytime that you
need to talk to me about a problem, have a question or if you only want
to say Good Morning, just come on by or stop me in the hallway.
I will be totally involved in the management of office and the production
of the assessment roll. If needed, I will roll up my sleeves and work
side-by-side with you to get the job done on time. You won’t find
me with my feet propped up on the desk.
Furthermore, I don’t believe anyone should fear possibly losing
his or her job because someone new comes onboard. When this election is
over, I have no intention of relieving anyone from his or her employment
with the Property Appraiser’s Office. Yes, positions may shift in
order to provide a more fair, equitable and correct assessment roll for
the citizens and property owners of Brevard County. But no one will become
unemployed because they choose not to support me. It is your constitutional
right to be able to support any candidate you may choose. All that I ask
is, when the election is over, we all work together to make the Property
Appraiser’s Office, our office, a better place to work.
I know that some of you would like to support me openly but may feel
uncomfortable doing so and may feel that it could affect your employment.
I understand your concern and only ask that you please keep me in your
thoughts and prayers.
