Delgado steps down as Public Works director To the great surprise of his coworkers, Public Works director Alberto Delgado announced Thursday he was retiring at the end of next month. Delgado, whose decision to quit Coral Gables also caught many other city employees by surprise, is leaving reportedly over work-related differences with City Manager Patrick Salerno. Comments
Sharon Greaux's departure was based on a disagreement with Elizabeth Hernandez? Can someone enlighten me on this one?

Maybe now that you're leaving Lorena, Polo, Lis and Rene can leave with you too. It's time to overhaul PW.
said Great at 20-Nov-09 08:35 PM
The Gazette recently wrote a story about Public Work's mismanagement of the Trolley operation. I wonder if the other problems in PW's will now come out? His leaving is long overdue!

He has been a loyal and hard-working public servant for decades. One cannot get everyone to like them, but respect is something he deserves. It's small-minded when people criticize others - for they will NEVER know what it's TRULY like to walk in others' shoes. Peace be with you Alberto Delgado. You deserve nothing less.

Maybe now the married scumbag Polo will be fired as he deserves to be for being a homewrecker ! Its time to clean house and bring back good ethics to Public Works. Delgado is a thief and Polo is a degenerate. Karma Baby !

This Director is guilty of allowing employees to screw in the office and turning a blind eye to moral fibers . Keep cleaning house Salerno, dont stop with the head the tail needs to be cut as well. The newspaper articles involving the screwing secretary and married man at work must not be condoned.

Change is good. Everyone at the top needs to be changed out, including Don Nelson and Liz Hernandez. Embedded structures need to be broken, rebuilt and modernized.

Alberto, with your qualifications, the City environment has hampered your professional growth over the years that you served us so very well. Yours is the only department to have millions in projects that are not funded by we, the taxpayers, but from federal and state grants and other non-city revenue sources. Sorry to see you go as you are one of the good directors who showed many a result over the years. Many other incompetent ones remain with no results to show for their tail-kissing weasel ways with any manager.
Pat, we love you, but you blew this one, Big Time. One of your best is gone. You need to ensure that this does not continue as you need to focus on the losers. Disrespecting your direct reports and their directors is not going to get you anywhere. We know you have found a stink box in the City they sold you as being pretty and pink, however, you need to take a deep breath and smell the coffee. Attack those who have done wrong and are worthless. Alberto Delgado is not one of those. Hope this is a lesson learned. Alberto, best wishes for your new found phase in life. Your earnings will triple in the private sector without the headaches of the political jackasses that can only operate in government as they could not sell bubble gum in the private sector if their lives depended on it. Government is where the waste and incompetent go and stay. Thank you for staying as long as you did as we do see the results in the roads, traffic calming, medians on Ponce, etc. You did good and will do better. Wishing you the best for continued success. You deserve it and you earned it.

Look, when you got the three-headed monster of Anderson, Withers and Sleazenick running the show; who the hell can put up with a Kara Kautz being the head of the bumbling $5.8 million Museum Fiasco project. Who the hell thought that Delgado will fall on the politics of failed projects he had nothing to do with. What has happened here is that Delgado wouldn't bend to the whims of Sleazenick and Prescott and Guilford and Sanchez. Enough is enough after fighting with David Brown for 8 years with no end in sight with corrupt elected officials. I got an idea, lets name Kara Kautz Director of Public Works !!!!, lets all go to hell in a handbasket
said Alberto Delgado deserves better at 23-Nov-09 01:30 PM
All we seem to like is the bad news........cleaning house, send everyone home............then what ? At the least there is one Department that got it right ! "The office of the City Clerk"..........I guess there is no "screwing around" going on there..........literally and figuratively. Have an enjoyable Thanksgiving ya'll !!

I pray for….
There is a lot of dirt under PW carpet. Who is going to leave $160,000 salary on own? Ron mess-up PWD and he was good. So good that on the end he try to take over AD position. You don’t believe it? There are documents he left Any way, where are the computers from his office he ordered to load to his personal car? He was good for screwing everything and everybody. When Ron was kicked out, next was Delgado. He never stand for and defend employees, except maybe ass kissers. He lost respect. On personal level PW is complete disaster. Lay-off employees added to that. Lorena, Mirtha and Ron picked up names. Who know too much about Lorena –Polo relation is out. Couple years ago Lorena falsely accused Vista employees and they were fired after they caught her and Polo in sex act in the office. Everybody knows that Polo is screwing Lorena and Ron and Delgado protected them. PW. on personal level is out of control. Some not working at all, disappearing for days and weeks, some doing who knows what and others busy doing nothing. That is only Delgado,s fault. Ron /Delgado time is over and those above is coming too. I pray for.

said loser = BeFu at 24-Nov-09 01:13 PM
Look in the mirror and you will see an idiot using city computer to write on that web site. IT is going to get you and report to HR or CM and that is last things what you need.
Are you trying to pull other peoples to your dirty game? Do you want turn everybody against you? Playing harassed is too late. PD guys don’t jump on Lorenita / hot tamale. There is a lot of fake staff. And j..mart doesn’t need to be afraid of Polo. Que no tiene cojones. And I’m enjoying my retirements.
said BeFu at 29-Nov-09 07:39 PM
Forget Lorena she's old used news.How about Yvette Don Nelson's ass sistant? She surely gives the impression that she likes to have a little fun time discretely of course.
said cgbff at 01-Dec-09 06:41 AM
LORENA, DORA AND PAT WANT YOU OUT!!!!
said INSIDER at 02-Dec-09 07:43 AM
Hey cgbff you must be an employee also I have had the pleasure of speaking with Yvette and I must say she has a way of making things look up !
said cginsider at 03-Dec-09 06:29 AM
"Dirty" has worked for me, as everyone knows!!! The game is still on and I'm ahead, Big Time!! More losers to come!
said way ahead of u at 04-Dec-09 10:42 AM
Lorena - i just want you for only me!!!
said cg cop at 04-Dec-09 08:15 PM
Tell you what , Lorena and I where married for 6 years and have a beautiful son together. Our little boy means the world to both of us. I would imagine that my son deserves that his mom be treated with some respect and dignity.
Everywhere I look in South Florida I see beautiful women. Are you people in the Gables so sick in the head that Lorena seems to be the only woman on earth? If anyone should have an ax to grind it should be me. Lorena made her bed and she has to lie in it. If you want to speak to me directly I would be more than happy to provide you my number. If not please respect the fact that Lorena is a mom and our son deserves better !
said Carlos Villanueva at 05-Dec-09 08:10 AM
carlos...this is lorena's fight and she's done just fine - most these comments come from pw's ugly, fat, frustrated, unhappily married or in a relationship women that hide behind a computer...they don't have it in them to say things to her face. i'm glad i'm mostly out in the field just because of this. you've also created anonymous comments here so don't play the nice guy...she survived you too!!!
said what??? at 07-Dec-09 11:44 AM
Do you people actually work?
said Anonymous at 07-Dec-09 01:45 PM
Incredible, I have never seen employees take such an interest in each others lives the way you folks in the Gables do. Its like a bunch of inbred hillbillies except the inbreds have an excuse . Maybe just maybe if you employees where better managed and had morals and ethics you wouldnt have to be explaining all of the in-moral affairs . Yes it is Lorenas fight now , in the process she destroyed a good marriage and now her son must come from a broken home. It always takes 2 to tango but in the case of City employees it takes 3 to tango because the City is as inmoral and unethical as the staff !

Good luck Alberto. Thank you for all of your hard work.
