Interview Comments
--
Mr. Carey thinks the challenges in Monroe County are fostering communication, utilizing an
integrated work plan, improving performance management, satisfying infrastructure challenges
regarding water and sewer systems, maintaining a healthy budget and assisting a tourist industry
recovering from the events of 9/11.
He described himself as being a stable professional who leads from the heart. He is fair, hard
working, innovative, and successful. The result is that he has a "tremendous number of
accomplishments." He is especially proud of the special events in Sparks, NV which include:
Hometowne Farmers Market, The Big Easy, Hot August Nights, Best in the West Rib Cook-off and
Hometowne Christmas. One of the most successful projects is the Sparks Marina Lake Park which is
80 acres of water surrounded by swimming, boating, fishing, scuba diving and picnicking facilities.
This area was previously a gravel pit in the middle of town.
He described his management style as a high performance government system utilizing integrated
work planning systems which foster communication and performance management. He "very much
believes in getting the most out of people" and in making sure that the people around him are
empowered. He makes sure the City is using the capital and personnel resources to achieve the ~i
stated goals,
His staff would describe him as being focused on communication, empowerment, being innovative
and getting the job done. The elected officials would say that he is a consensus builder who keeps
theqll'working towards common goals and that they are satisfied in the direction in which the city is
moving. He has heard that some of the council members feel that he is not tough enough. That is
not in his nature. He feels that his approach gets more done and establishes long term success.
-- ShauD Carey
Mr. Carey streamlined the staffby eliminating layers and, as a result, having the departments heads
closer to the employees and which also freed up resources.
Mr. Carey will spend the first six months in Monroe County "getting up to speed." He will
implement his management style which is one of well established and fluent communications.
During that process he will articulate and identify the strategic direction the Commission wants to
pursue. Mr. Carey identified the budget in Monroe County as being one ofthe challenges facing the
County. He stated that the budget is growing faster than the revenue. He will implement long term
budgeting tools and rely on national and international tourism to assist with balancing it.
The only matter that Mr. Carey could think of that might be embarrassing, if it were to come to light,
is a speeding ticket he received in Boulder, CO. He stated that he has not been involved in any
personal law suits.
Mr. Carey currently has a PIO on staff, to handle the media. The city maintains a great open and
honest relationship with the media.
Mr. Carey enjoys walking his dog two miles each morning, working out, going out to eat and to the
movies, scuba diving and traveling. He has been in Nevada the past eleven years and is seeking a
"new chapter in his career". The move to Monroe County will be a career challenge, fascinating and
an opportunity to work for a county again.

Interview Comments
Mr. Evett and his wife are "empty nesters" who are anxious to return to live and work in Florida. In
fact their household goods and Mrs. Evett's car are still in Jupiter. "We're ready to move back!"
Having previously worked in Florida, he is knows the state laws and demographics.
I
Mr. Evett is familiar with the Keys, having worked in Florida and having visited there nUmerous
times to vacation and scuba dive. He described the challenges facing the County as balancing its
tourist based economy with its impact on the environment and transportation. If chosen to be the
next County Administrator he will strive to help the Keys retain its unique character - to preserve the
purity of the pristine waters while helping generate a strong economic base.
He firmly subscribes to the management style of "hiring the best, motivating, monitoring, and
building a good professional team." When asked about how he would address the issues of the high
cost of living, its impact in the Keys upon the County's work force and his desire to hire the best, he
responded, "You have to be creative. While some may need to commute and live in the Keys,
perhaps others may be able to work electronically from home, a home not necessarily in the Keys."
If one were to ask his staff to describe him, the responses would be that he is a great team builder,
communicator, supporter and defender (when necessary and appropriate). They would also say that
he possesses the talent of prioritizing and acting on the most important issues first. Responding to
the same questions, elected officials for whom he has worked would provide the same answer and
add that he is involved in the decision making process, particularly during the budget process,
making sure that everyone is on the same page.

Mr. Evett has had to terminate people but tried first to correct the behatior or sitpation exce~t in two

Lee Evett
He described his strengths to be his professionalism, intelligence, personality, communication skills
(both oral and written) and his no nonsense approach. But on top of that, he believes that you have
to have fun at your work. When asked about his biggest asset, he responded, "My greatest asset is
my wife."
He said that his weakness is probably that he spends too many hours at the office. He worries about
all the details, even after he has delegated. One of his "quirks" is the "cleanliness of the community
is absolutely essential." He adds that over the years, he has come to realize that his job is to manage
the community, not necessarily change what the community wants. He stated, "I get frustrated when
things haven't been done as soon as I'd like." He is very conscientious and expects his staff to
reflect that also.
While in his current position he has been instrumental in implementing a public informational
programming including a quarterly citizen newsletter, twice monthly 30 minute TV programs
highlighting city services, projects and programs and the city's first Web site. He also created the
city's first internal E-Mail operation and the state's first 311 information system. He is especially
proud of creating a Storm Water Utility to manage the mandates of the Clean Water Act and fund the
$3 million cost which will insure that the Colorado River "will flow". This project is a milestone in
the state of Colorado and will set the pattern for the future.
---
Prior to moving to the Keys and assuming the role of County Administrator, he will become familiar
with the codes, charters, regulations, policies, budget and become further acquainted with the issues,
so he can, "Hit the ground running and be as productive as possible". Once in the Keys he will sit
down with the commission and talk about what their goals are for the next few years. He will also
take time to meet the "movers and shakers" in the County and understand their issues. He will not
be there to criticize or critique, but ffl"~p.
He has a great relationship with the media - his wife is a former TV reporter. With the media in
general, he calls them back immediately and keeps them informed. They have ajob to do too, after
all.
There is nothing of controversy or that would be embarrassing, in his background. He stated, "I
guess I've lived a very dull life."

Mr. Herman has a love and passion for the Keys and would ultimately like to retire there. He likes
the fact that it is remote, that it is three hours from the nearest shopping mall and many services that
others take for granted.
He stated that the most significant challenge facing the next Monroe County Administrator over the
next several years is to develop and maintain strong relationships with the state and "feds" so that the
County can secure adequate funds for the installation of proper waste and storm water facilities.
Having been a resident of the Keys for fourteen years, he further stated that another significant
challenge will be seeing that affordable housing is available.
When asked, "What has been your biggest career success" he responded, "I have never applied for a
job that I did not get." With regards to a career mistake or failure, he cited his experience of being
involved with his family as the third owner of a state certified building company where there were
many conflicts and they were unable to achieve a consensus. He described it as "not a workable
situation" .
,)tl'. .'.
If one were to speak with his staff aboUt him, lie feels that their response would be that he is
energetic, deliberate, honest, a mentor and willing to get involved with problem solving to
accomplish the task at hand. The response from his elected officials would be that he is competent,
honest, fair and gets things done. They would say that they respect him abd both seek his input and
rely on his judgment.

Robert L. Herman
Mr. Herman stated that his strengths are his ability to communicate, create a consensus, and get to
the heart of the issue. He is also sensitive while being able to complete projects within the
appropriate time frame. At times he is impatient when things are not moving along atthe projected
pace. "I don't tolerate excuses as to why things are not working fast enough."
He described his style as "depending on the issue at hand" type of management. By that Je means
that if he is the actual project manager, he is very hands on. However, when normal job functions
are involved, he gives the staff the authority to do the work and he expects them to deal with the
Issues.
During his first six months as Monroe County Administrator he will, "get a complete understanding
of the direction of the commission and what they want to accomplish." Then he "will establish
guidelines and procedures to accomplish the commission's goals" He stated that the largest
challenge facing the county is "the management of the tourist-based economy in an extremely
environmentally sensitive area and without adequate funding to mitigate the impacts on the
ecosystem. "

When asked ifthere is anything in his background that would cause an employer embarrassment, he
said no. Since he came to Tallahassee, some of the press stories concerning the department he
manages have been critical and some complimentary. Mr. Herman's approach to the media is to be
candid and never avoid to them.
In his leisure time he enjoys golf and all water sports, especially scuba diving and snorkeling.

Interview Comments
Mr. Malloch is a long time resident and public servant in the Florida Keys. He is very interested in
the opportunity the position of County Administrator presents and is familiar with the challenges and
issues facing the Keys. He identified some of the issues as:
· Land use
· Installing sewers throughout the Keys
· Providing affordable housing - many professionals cannot afford housing
· Affordable transportation
· The exodus of good people, cashing out of their homes
· Controlled population (not over building the Keys - maintaining its paradise
atmosphere)
He and his wife have traveled all over the world and have chosen to live in the Keys. They are
acclimated and enjoy the life style and ambiance there. He is training to compete in a triathlon by
running and swimming regularly - in the early mornings. He does not own a boat, stating, "as a
former member of the Navy, I have been on enough boats!"
He described his management style as being fair and firm. He was awarded the highest Navy honor
while a commanding officer at sea, the coveted "Golden Anchor Award" based on his performance as
a leader. He always treats people with dignity and respect. He considers himself a public servant
first, who is also a high achieve( who works steadily towards his goals but he is not one who requires
praise and acknowledgment.
?-
His staff would describe him as being fair, conscientious, and generally empowering them to run
their departments, be accountable for their mistakes, talk about the mistakes, correct them and move
James E. Malloch
on. He maintains a good relationship with his staff, but described himself as not being a "country
club type or social butterfly". He is honest, forthright, ethical and an achiever. He does what the
elected officials request of him and gets back to them with the results.
Mr. Malloch stated that his strengths are his tenacity, his leadership skills, his ability to listen, his
knowledge of management and his stamina. He enjoys a challenge, being innovative, thinking out
side the box, and being self-reliant and disciplined. He gets the job done and enjoys figuring out
how to accomplish it. He said that he is somewhat quiet, not an extrovert, which some may say is a
weakness. He fells that his kindness is being respectful of people rights and not a weakness.
During the first six months as County Administrator he will take a look at the Commission's
priorities and move on them. He stated that one issue that is not currently being addre~sed is a
training (or monitoring) program to insure talented staff. "This is not a pre-selection program, rather
putting more of our resources into our people."
When asked about his commitment to the job, he stated, "I'm a young 61 and not ready to retire,
although I could." He described himself as a "quadruple dipper", which he explained as having
retirement, ifhe desired, from four areas - the Navy, VA disability (he's 70% disabled from diving
injuries), Social Security and Public Service. This would give him a retirement income of over
$100,000. When asked ifhis studies to obtain his Doctorate would interfere with being the County
Administrator he replied, "I study every morning from 2 to 4 a.m."
The only incident he could think of that might embarrass our client is a DUI in 1994. "It was an error
in my judgment and I no longer use alcohol." This error is a matter of public record and is part of his
file when he was hired as an employee of Monroe County.
The only negative story that might be found in the press is one that goes back several years and
talked about a poor black female living on the street. He tried to help her, but she just wanted to live
on the street. The writer was a disgruntled employee who stated that Mr. Malloch was not a caring
man. The woman eventually left the area and the story died.
Mr. Malloch maintains a good rapport with the media and is honest and up front with them. He has
been interviewed on a local radio program, "The Bill Becker Show," with regards to his passion to
get bus service throughout the Keys and working hard to get grants for the program.

In Mr. Saddler's opinion, Monroe County faces a variety of challenges. I First, the Keys are a
desirable place to live but housing opportunities are limited. Second, stomtWl!lter run-off must be
managed. Third are the challenges regarding providing wastewater treatment. Fourth, the county
must achieve a balance between the habitat/environment and the commercial interests in the Keys.
Mr. Saddler is used to living in relatively isolated areas and realizes that that can create issues. In
fact, some of these issues may be ones that the County may want to address. For example, the
County might want to be proactive in finding ways to provide specialty medical care so people do
not have to go all the way to Miami.
His management style is participatory. He surrounds himself with people that are "better than me. I
like to develop a diverse team which will provide options that I fine tune. I look at myself as being
an architect - I utilize an approach that best motivates them (the staff)."
His staff would describe him as a good leader who plays the role of coach so they can develop to
their fullest potential. He believes in providing his staff with the tools and steps in when there is a
void or lack of progress. The elected officials would describe him as a consummate professional,
trusted advisor, a confidant, a friend and someone who is able to follow their direction. He is
someone they feel possesses a knack of knowing which role to play.
Mr. Saddler feels that firing someone is the economic equivalence. to capitol punishment. He

advance to let them have the opportunity to leave before they are fired.
He described himself as being a good communicator who possesses all the skills necessary to be a
good leader and county administrator. At times he might be too much of a perfectionist. He works
diligently to make sure that he does not dictate how he wants the staff to perform functions. Rather,
he sets up the boundaries and gives them the freedom to work within those limits.
He plans to spend his first six months in Monroe County watching, learning and understanding the
ins and outs of the county government and residents. Much of his time will be spent in the office
studying the written infrastructure. He will become acquainted with his senior staff and learn the
customs and culture of the departments. In doing this, he will be in a better position to understand
the government's role in the community.
Mr. Saddler generally gets along very well with the media. "I see myself as the media contact point
for the administration." He believes in being very open and free with information. "It's better to be
proactive than reactive."
When asked if there was anything in his past that would concern a future employer, he said no. The
only possible item was an ethics complaint filed against him by a former employee in Cook County.
The verdict found that Saddler had not done anything wrong and the county filed suit against the
employee for the expenses it incurred.
For the past two years, Mr. Saddler has enjoyed the time off while taking care of his infant twin
daughters, but is excited to get back to another passion - county management. The timing for this
position is perfect for him and his family. He has worked six years in Florida county government
and twenty some odd years total, and misses it. Further, the pay range is within his long range goal.
He stated, "I'm a perfect fit! I have the experience and can develop options for the commission to
review."
In his spare time, he enjoys boating, bike riding and spending a lot oftime "kid rearing".

Interview Comments
Mr. Willi views Monroe County as a wonderful opportunity. It presents many challenges but also
many opportunities. He sees the Florida Keys as a unique place and one where he is anxious to
utilize his expertise, experience and knowledge in helping Monroe County maintain it's character.
He would like to live in the Keys and views the Administrator's position as a step up in his career.
When asked about the issues facing the County, he feels some of them are the same as face all
governments while some are significantly different. Those common to most governments are
resource issues -- revenues are not rising quickly enough to cover the costs to run the government
and the pressure not to raise taxes is immense. On the other hand, he recognizes that the Keys are
unique, a fragile ecosystem with great pressures put upon it by man. The trick is to find ways to help
Monroe County maintain its character. He also recognizes some issues that m~e managing in the
Keys more difficult - the length of the county, the relatively high cost ofhousi~and the relatively
limited existing work force in Monroe County.
Mr. Willi described his management style as being "fiscally conservative". He stated that he
communicates well with the public, media, elected officials, staff and government agencies and is
comfortable acting as a "change agent". His other leadership strengths include labor and
management relations, recruiting staff, management of planning and gr~wth, and budget and finance.
He is a firm believer of empowering the work force by setting distinct objectives and goals and in
encouraging innovative thinking and problem solving.

Thomas J. Willi
His staff would describe him as being fair, competent, consistent and listening to all sides. If asked,
the elected officials would say that he a competent manager, brings neiW approaches to old problems,
seeks resolutions and prepares them to make decisions.
He admits that one of his weaknesses is that he sometimes becomes p&sonally involved in problems
when they should be delegated. He is making a conscious effort to step back and let the staff handle
it. His biggest career mistake was when he enraged the elected officials by announcing to the public
a possible proposed rate increase before informing the officials. Needless to say, he won't repeat
that mistake.
During his first six months as County Administrator he will take time to review the government
revenue and cost streams along with getting to know the county, its officials and its residents.
When asked if there in anything in his background that would be embclhassing, he cited a DUI arrest
in 1991 where he was found to be not guilty.
Mr. Willi enjoys salt water fishing on his boat and doing mainte~.:ffupgrading on his home.
