HIGHWAY i NORTH PALM BEACH, fLORIDA 33406 305-848347fi June 26, 1980 Dear Mayor Marks and Members of the Village Council: I hereby resign from the position of Village Manager, effec- tive 4:30 P.M. on August 8, 1980, so that I may accept a place in the Fall class at Nova University Law Center. The study and practice of law has-been of interest to me for several years, and during the past year, my desire to pursue this course has intensified to the point that I feel I must accept the opportunity. _ I anticipate building upon the past twelve years of govern- mental experience, and so, I don't look upon this decision as a radical career change.. I leave the Village knowing that we have accomplished much, and that many things remain to be accomplished. Such is the essence of government -- it constantly evolves. As an accounting of stewardship, I have attempted to open com- munications between residents, staff, and Councilmembers, and im- prove productivity wherever possible. In 'addition, it has been. my goal to improve internal operating systems, and accountability, as well as look to the future needs of the community. I have tried to do this in an open, honest, and sincere atmosphere which put the common good of the Village residents ahead of any special interests, including my own. I wish Godspeed and continued progress for the Village, its residents, staff, and Council. Since y ~`~~ Paul J. icoletti Village Manager PJN/ee
