Good question. If there WAS nothing from Wilton Manors and the Beach files were destroyed, what kind of background checks did Gymbo do? The Hialeah references are questionable too, so on WHAT basis was he hired? He may, or may not, have been a director for ONE YEAR 30 years before? It seems that his main qualification for being Rec Director was having gone to school with the City Manager 40 years ago! Did he let the Council KNOW about the missing references BEFORE Dotson requested them? If not, why not? Didnt he think that was pertinent to the hiring? Why would he hire somebody for such an important job ("the most important job in Miami Springs") on the basis of ONE questionable reference? How many guys did Gymbo go to school with? Shall we expect the rest of them to be applying, and getting hired, any day now? No verifiable references? No problem!
