Lake Worth to hire Internal Auditor


William Brown has been chosen to be our new Internal Auditor.

"The City Commission, after individually interviewing four candidates and completing ballots on each candidate, selected William Brown, currently Internal Auditor for the City of Rivera Beach, as the highest ranked candidate. Upon direction by the City Commission at the October 3, 2017 Regular Commission Meeting, the City Attorney’s office entered into negotiations with Mr. Brown to develop the terms of the Internal Auditor employment contract. The employment contract with Mr. Brown is being presented to the City Commission for its review and consideration."

This entire process was unorthodox as the final interviews and rankings were not done at a public meeting.  Only two commissioners bothered to do their jobs and actually rank the four candidates--Andy Amoroso and Herman Robinson--they ranked Joe Rodriguez as tops. The remaining three officials (Triolo, Maxwell and Hardy) checked off only one box leaving the rest of the candidate ranking boxes blank thus giving the other candidates zero scores. By so doing, it skewed and manipulated the ranking system. As these candidates spent a lot of time interviewing and preparing/hoping to be hired by our city, they all should have been ranked and should be able to know how they faired.

As this was not done at a public meeting as it has in the past, commissioners please make sure that Mr. Brown reports and answers to you and not the city manager. Mr. Brown will be making $139,270.

Not surprised with these three. Maybe they don't make enough money to do things right? That's a joke.

It is a huge joke, this should be an external auditor and not one of andy's gay friends, this is all a scam on the good people of Lake Worth. What a joke andy!

What a sin, jut bureaucratic positions, making $140K, sinful, then they cannot even give their hard working employees full time, only give them 29 hours a week and not benefits, and pay this goon so much, no wonder all their part timers quit so frequently, who would want a job with this city with no benefits and only 29 hours a week? It is a joke and this city leadership sucks!

11:49--we have an External auditor.
And why are you assuming this guy is gay? As far as Andy goes, William Brown came in 3rd position on his score sheet. You erroneously attacked Andy.

Isn't it a violation of the Sunshine law that these three marked their surveys exactly the same?

@3:44...that's not what happened. Three of them did not rank the 4 candidates; they only chose one. They were told to rank them. They didn't.
Robinson and Amoroso ranked all four candidates as they were supposed to do.
