Dear Ms. Peirce,

Please accept this letter to express my interest to be considered as a candidate to fill the current vacancy on the

Town Commission.

I am very familiar with Melbourne Beach as I moved to Brevard County in 2007 and later purchased my residence

in the Town of Melbourne Beach in 2010. I have been actively involved in our community having served as a

coach on numerous youth sports teams, volunteering at Gemini Elementary, volunteering at West Shore Jr./Sr.

High School and as Treasurer on the board of the Melbourne Beach Soccer Club.

As an interested member of our community, I would like to volunteer my time, skills, and talents to serve on the

Town Commission. My background includes years of public speaking, budgeting, planning, managing, and most

importantly, listening. As a business executive, I have practiced my ability to listen and understand the needs of

my employees, team members, partners, and customers.

I bring an open mind to the Commission, and can consider multiple points of view. I will always seek to ascertain

the public interest and how best to further the interests of the community as a whole. A key principle of my

personality is to treat everybody with respect; I will work to fully understand their concerns and opinions. I am

extremely diligent and will strive to fully understand the issues before the commission in order to balance the

public good with private rights and interests.

I have attached a copy of my professional resume for your review. My applicable experience relevant to the

position of Town Commissioner includes: Budgeting; Strategic Planning; Financial Pro-forma Development; Team

Leadership; Operations Planning; Market Analysis and Data Analytics; Marketing Communications; Grant Writing;

and Process Improvement and Reengineering.

I respectfully request consideration to be appointed to serve on the Town Commission. I would be happy to

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Google tells me that a Roman philosopher by the name of Gaius Plinius Secundus was the first to use

the phrase “Home is where the heart is.” A phrase that has been around for thousands of years must

hold some truth and in my case, it is absolute truth.

My name is Zachary Terseck and I grew up and currently live in Melbourne Beach. My family moved to

Melbourne Beach when I was twelve years old and sixteen years later this town is still my home. I am

very passionate about keeping Melbourne Beach a small, close community of friends and neighbors

working together.

I have a B.A. in Communication from The University of Central Florida. This means that I am a

communicator. I understand how to effectively articulate ideas and concepts, while also understanding

what others communicate in a clear and complete manner. Communication has been a pillar of every

society since the beginning of time. It is so important that individuals in public and professional settings

communicate effectively and efficiently to avoid misunderstandings which can lead to unnecessary

conflict.

My professional experience is one of diversity. I have worked as a chef in restaurants, in the offices of

large government contractors, and most recently I have been a caretaker for my elderly grandfather. I

am a professional speaker and comedian. In my free time, I am a writer. I have been writing for nearly

six years and speaking publicly for four.

I am a critical thinker and I am certain that I can provide value as a city employee. I know that I am

relatively young, but if given the opportunity I will prove that my abilities are up to task. I can help

Mayor Simmons and all the employees of the city to maintain Melbourne Beach’s beautiful small town

charm for tourist and residents alike. Thank you for your consideration and have a great day.

From: Paul Rumbley <[email protected]>Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 12:51 PMTo: Town ClerkSubject: Interim Town Commissioner Position

Hello Gwen,

I have decided to send you my letter of intent to be considered for the interim position of Melbourne Beach TownCommissioner. My primary career was in Law Enforcement in which I served 35 years. I retired from the Orlando PoliceDepartment as a Captain in 1992 and accepted the position of Police Chief in Lake Wales Fl. I served in Lake Wales forapproximately two years, one year of which I served as Interim City Manager. I became the Police Chief in Palm Bay, Fl.,In 1994 and served for ten years before I retired in 2004. I then became Headmaster of Covenant Christian School inPalm Bay in 2004, and served as school Administrator for seven years. I retired as Headmaster in 2012, and shortlythereafter moved to Melbourne Beach with my wife Diane.

I really had not intended to get involved in municipal government again, however, I believe it is time for me to serve mynew home community using my experience in leadership and management, serving the citizens of Melbourne Beach.

I am honored to have an opportunity to be considered for this most responsible position.

Sincerely,

Paul Rumbley, Retired Chief of Police, Palm Bay, Fl.
