Markus changes mind, rescinds retirement plans
From: Tom MarkusSubject: Retirement notice (withdrawal)
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 12:16:27 -0500
Subsequent to my notice to retire I have had a chance to further examine my future plans and have decided that my retirement notice was premature. There are a number of concerns that I have thought through in the process of rescinding my retirement notice not the least of which are my recent personal health issues. Therefore I am withdrawing the notice to retire on November 1, 2008. As I further refine my retirement plans and make a final decision I will reissue an appropriate notice in order to provide the City Commission with a sufficient amount of time to secure my replacement. Should the commission wish to further discuss this matter either individually or collectively at a future commission meeting I will make myself available. I appreciate your consideration and support in this matter and apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused. I will continue to serve at the highest level to ensure our community is provided with a level of service worthy of our community's reputation.
It’s not April 1st, so may I just add, wtf?!
Posted by Lex on 11/29 at 01:55 PMIt’s easy to explain, in my opinion. Haven’t we all at some time or another dreamed of just blowing off the whole thing, chucking the current job, and going to work on a Dude Ranch in Arizona? Man, I know I have! I always back off just short of actually doing it, but the thought is always there.
Tom just went public with his dream is all. I mean, who could look forward to 10 more years of sophmoric wrangling over nothing and having to sit through endless meetings and listen to the same pompous bluster from two-bit local politicians over and over again?
I really wish for him that he had gone through with it! He’s agreat guy and deserves better than he gets. And who couldn’t secretly admire a guy who actually follows through on the dream?Posted by on 12/07 at 03:20 PM
