W. 1st Avenue Delray Beach, Florida 33444 Dear Mr. Ellingsworth: I am very interested in the position of city Manager for Delray Beach which you advertised in the December 18, 1989 issue of the ICMA Newsletter. After twelve years as city Manager of winter Park, Florida, I am looking for a management position with a larger local government. At winter Park I was responsible for managing all services provided by the city. In addition to the usual municipal services, we had several which are not common for Florida cities our size. These included our own public library, a public bus system and an extensive aquatic plant management program. The 1989 operating budget was $27,000,000. We had 400 employees. winter Park's water and sewer systems served a population of 50,000 - 60,000 which included large areas outside the city. Before coming to Winter Park I worked for Orange County, Florida. While with Orange County I was deeply involved in growth management, land use and transportation planning for the County to deal with the impact of the Walt Disney World development. At Winter Park I continued my involvement in land use, environmental and growth management issues. I have strong budgeting skills and have successfully dealt with the challenges of sound fiscal management over the last twelve years. The quality improvement process I introduced proved very effective in team building, staff development and strengthening employee relations. I am keenly interested in historic preservation. We now live in a Victorian house which we have restored. It has just been approved by the state for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The enclosed resume summarizes my accomplishments in the field of local government management. My education and experience have made me well qualified to serve as your city Manager. I look forward to discussing this position with you soon. Sincerely, / ,(' . \ P l-tt.. ~ ¡.. -r . l, cl.... :-. _ __. · , Synopsis of Resume of 5 South Central Avenue David T.
