The City Council seems to be MIA. Were they informed? Where are the quotations from the Councilmen regarding their opinions on this?

The City Council has the authority over approving the budget. They approved the 2012 budget for the Building Services Department. How can the City Manager eliminate an approved budgeted program in effect over-riding the Council on the budget?

What is the relevance of Riviere saying he fired Olmsted because he didn't cross train the inspectors? If he felt so strongly about it why didn't he set that in motion?

Where is the transparency that Riviere is so keen about? Where is the public forum keeping the residents informed about whatever problems have led up to this decision?

From the 2012 Budget:

Mission Statement
The mission of Building Services is to provide a superior level of building code compliance for the preservation of life, safety, and the general welfare of the people on Marco Island. This is accomplished through the enactment and strict enforcement of effective codes and standards to ensure the integrity of all the components that make up the building environment. Customer service and efficiency are the cornerstones. Consistent code enforcement and permits insure the longevity of the structures for many years and should outlast multiple owners.
