Re: Letter of Resignation

Dear Ms. \Mlson:

 
 
 
 

On June 27, 2019, ?rmnm RECIPES.- the lack

had to make to either resign . - essary anges in the department

or resigning my position.

One factor in my decision is the most recent TSA 
?nd the response which is prime evidence. was a i that Director
as puty Commissioner for his comprehensive ?x and given a 3 month period.
He was then advised that it needed to be done in 30 days. I was asked for my
recommendation and provided it with a response to the LOI. This was after having a
conversation with you regarding this and the issues regarding the individuals in the
department. The details called for two people to supplement the staff along with Rebecca
for ?ve days a week working 8 hours per day, which would take approximately seven
weeks to audit approximately 6, 000 ?les. This was i-nored in the res- onse submitted to

SE UNIT: 
uLl iimn "162125.

administrative support that I received would not provide any real support because they
were not dedicated as was a requirement to make a difference and explained earlier to
you and the Deputy Commissioner. This exposes the airport to additional LOIs and ?nes
for non-compliance and I am not willing to accept the responsibility anymore for being
non?Compliant.

They also provide support to the tenants when
passengers that have missing items and CPD.

At a time when TSA is exposing our weaknesses, we can ill afford to consider reducing or
eliminating this group. I was my intendon to pull the of?cer in from the training office
and possibly add an individual - . . .

 
 

 

was transferred to
- ng - same time that-
.- wastransferredtothedepartment. 
in that I was advised that she would only be there a little while as she had attendance
issues What I didn?t need is another problem employee.

The last issue is that of the individual in the department that is in a position that was
created for her and has been protected for quite some time. Other management
individuals have painstakingly documented situations wherein she should have been
disciplined or possin separated and yet she was not. She was to be removed as I have
been told before and that too did not happen. While the position is of value if
restructured she does not provide value and in fact creates issues by combining ?les, not
following direction and IS not a team player, centrary to what she ?rmly believes. It would
have
done with others before.

Nothing has changed since our meeting on 6/27/19 and I don't suppose it will and I have
spent way too many nights waking up and thinking about issues in the department or with
individuals in the department and my health and well- -being are far more important
regardless of those that may say I am taking things too personally. It's also a slap in the
face when you have an individual that called you a liar then told everyone and nothing
came of it or the Commissioner asking what you are doing for an iridividual's retirement
and then stif?ng you on the expense. I have never shied away from a challenge,
however, there comes a time when you have to cut your losses and for me, for my health
and for my family, I must resign effective immediately and will go into retirement. I
would like to give my two week notice and use my remaining vacation because it would
not be in the airports or my best interest to stay in this positon in that of?ce for the next
two weeks.
