Belize City Mayor Darrell Bradley has intentions to leave that office and become an elected area representative, but he's still looking after the interest of staffers at City Hall.
He's been working on a land program for those employees for several months and today at the Holy Redeemer Parish Hall those new land owners found out today how the program will work. The Mayor explained the process:
Darrell Bradley, Mayor - Belize City
"This is something that we've been working on from last year and the City Council had acquired from the Ministry of Natural Resources 57 acres of land at mile 14 and we've been working through the process of getting lease then getting title then doing the subdivision and dealing with the clearing of the lots and so what we're doing today is that we're doing a random draw because again what we have identified is that it's something we want to do to reward long service. We started. We didn't know exactly how much parcels of land we we're going to get so we started with the employee who worked for the longest that's Miss Cynthia Nunez. She has worked for us for 36 years. The surveyor manage to configure the parcels in 217 plots of 80 by 100 and so takes us 217 employees. All the employees who work for the City Council then for about 2 and half years will be able to benefit from this program and as I said it's an idea that we want to reward employees for their service to Belize City and for their service to the Belize City Council. This is part of our idea of wanting to motivate staff. Last year we did the Municipal Service Regulation which gave staff security of tenure."
These staffers now have security of tenure also, which was an initiative spearheaded by Bradley.
