It may not be legally wrong to collect two paychecks but it's morally wrong. What ever monies he receives from FEMA should be turned over to the City of Everett. That's the way it works with Jury Duty and helping other people in a time of need is not a cash windfall. I don't think many places of businesses would allow employees to take a month off paid (100% or not) and then double dip. He may not be receiving 100% of his pay but he's getting something from the city and he's not there.
As for the summer jobs, very unfortunately, I too was glad this did not pass. I think Jason Marcus should be more concerned about the cities finances right now rather than standing up saying how disappointed he is. They had no plan for the children. He should be more concerned about what happened to the 11 million that was left in free cash and is almost gone in 6 months and all these loans the city is taking out and no one from the administration knows how much the taxpayer is paying back in finance charges.
This administration was not prepared at all. They were asked simple questions. What were the children going to do? Who would supervise them and no one received a straight answer. The responce was "They will do something in city services"
In the past, there was always a plan for the children and one thing I will say is Jim Henderson handled that very well. If I had to vote on that, I would have had to vote no the way the entire situation was handled. |

Massdee,
My sources "close to the City's payroll office" told me that Carlisle did get paid for last week at least. I am waiting for my sources to confirm whether he will get paid this week. Rumor has it that "a City employee cannot use his/her vacation time to go work somewhere else." That should be a leave without pay, if not "job abandonment worthy of termination." Let's see if the geniuses who think that they are running City Hall figure out the cluster _ _ _ _ before the authorities are contacted about a phantom Budget/Procurement Officer (without certification), who is committing payroll fraud with the City while being paid by the federal government for 30 days. |

| If that is the case, and it's against the law, then the proper authorities should be notified. |

You’re jumping the gun……………… I don’t know if you’re right or wrong but I do know it’s too soon to yell fraud. You have no idea if he’s being paid by anyone other than the city and if he is, he needs the opportunity to come back and provide the city with his earning information so they can make the appropriate adjustments.
I’m no fan of Carlisle and I sincerely regret voting for Carlo but let’s not lynch anyone just yet. When you have ALL the facts, if he’s done something illegal, than by all means call and write anybody and everybody and make sure he’s prosecuted. Until then, I suggest you just sit tight

Tails,
It is legally wrong to collect two paychecks when the paycheck from the City is not based on either a day's work or legitimate vacation time. How long has Carlisle been working? Answer: less than 5 months. I bet all who post here a dollar that Carlisle does not have sufficient vacation time to support taking 30 days off within 5 months of starting? That is where payroll fraud comes in.
Does anyone remember Skip Coppola (Auditor under Ragucci) who was given a vacation buyback check for vacation given to him by the late Tony Serino without Ragucci’s knowledge? It happened the same year that Ragucci lost the Mayor’s office. There is no way that Carlo is smart enough to have given Carlisle extra vacation time to cover this 30 day period. City employees only get 2 weeks vacation. Carlisle will be gone 30 days. Giving him extra vacation time, after the fact, will not cut it under these facts. Also, even if Carlo is smart enough to have given him extra vacation, vacation “accrues” from month to month. According to my sources, new City employees can only take 5 days vacation within the first six months. If they leave before those 5 days accrue, they owe some money back to the City before they leave. I am betting that when Carlisle is eventually terminated, he will owe the City money.

I cannot believe that the Mayor is paying Carlisle anything after what I have been reading today. Something is wrong with this picture. A guy from out of town, leaves his Budget Dir and Purchasing duties for 30 days to go work for FEMA? What the heck is going on at City Hall now? Somebody better call the Authorities for the Stupidity of a Mayor who would put up with this crap after telling us about cost savings by merging Budget with Purchasing. Didn't the new Budget go into effect July 1? Did Carlisle leave for FEMA before the budget was even entered into the system, Billydee?
I got lots of questions and I hope that the Mayor will have good answers before this Scandal is over. I normally have nothing against out of towners. The Mayor's Chief of Staff is from out of town and I think she's cute and professional. But Carlisle is not cute and was very unprofessional leaving the City stranded like that. Let him go, Mr. Mayor, before he is your downfall. There is still hope for you, Mr. Mayor. |

Does anyone know who stepped in as purchasing officer. It is not the right thing to do merging all these departments and doings so as quickly as they did.
Nicholas something is very wrong with this picture and not just about FEMA. |
