[Note for the Record: Following Mayor Valdes-Fauli’s reading of the title to Agenda
Item 4 (i.e. Congratulations to Leonard Freeman, who holds the title Parking
Enforcement Specialist Lead, recipient of the "Employee of the Month Award”, for
the month of April, 2018), City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark asked that Human
Resources Director Karla Green and Parking Director Kevin Kinney to come
forward to the dais to celebrate this award.
Human Resources Director Green stated it is her honor to present the “Employee of
the Month” for the month of April, Leonard Freeman of the Parking Department.
Human Resources Director Green stated Leonard joined the City in August 15, 2005
and in his current position as a Parking Enforcement Specialist Lead, he has a unique
opportunity to serve and interact with our City residents. Human Resources Director
Green further stated that Leonard enjoys his job and goes above his call of duty, as
was the case during Hurricane Irma in which he had the perfect opportunity to make a
difference by putting into practice our “See Something Say Something Initiative."
Human Resources Director Green stated that on September 13, 2017, while on duty
with the police in post Hurricane Irma Operations, he was approached by an elderly
gentleman who inquired about receiving ice for his residence. Human Resources
Director Green further stated that Mr. Freeman took it upon himself collect bags of
ice from the station and deliver the bags of ice to the resident’s home. Human
Resources Director Green stated on September 14, 2017, he once again delivered 2
more bags of ice to the resident’s home to ensure that the elderly gentlemen and
wife’s food did not spoil, while they waited for their power to return. Human
Resources Director Green added that Mr. Freeman’s dedication to serve the greater
good, his initiative and most of all his caring nature are what makes Coral Gables
employees our City’s most valuable asset. Human Resources Director Green
congratulated Parking Enforcement Specialist Lead Freeman for having been selected
as the “Employee of the Month” for April. A video tape was then played showing
Leonard’s work regimen.
Parking Director Kinney stated he has worked with Lee about a decade now and
thinking about what else he might say about Lee, he further stated that he walks
around the downtown a lot at night, and he gets calls in the evenings, and the best
thing he can say about Lee is that he can text or call him, then he doesn’t have to
worry about. Parking Director Kinney further stated he is very responsive and a
great guy to work with, and he hopes we have him many more years.
Parking Enforcement Specialist Lead Freeman stated during the time he has work for
City of Coral Gables Page 3

the City of Coral Gables he has had a great set of co-workers and whenever he
needs anything from anyone in the City he knows exactly where he can go and get
