Office of the Mayor
City of Okeechobee, Florida
WHEREAS, Mrs. Robin L. Brock, began her municipal public service career on
November 3, 2000, in the Administration Department under the direction of City
Administrator Bill Veach; and
WHEREAS, during her tenure, her duties and responsibilities expanded, changing her
job title from Administrative Secretary to Executive Secretary, and then to Executive
Assistant; and
WHEREAS, being admired by her co-workers as impartial and fair, was elected to
represent the Administration Department, General Services Department, and Office
of the City Clerk employees on the Employee Grievance Committee for nineteen
years, serving from January 2001 through December 2008, and from January 2012 to
present day; and
WHEREAS, Robin was elected to the Board of Trustees by her co-workers to represent
their interests on the General Employees' Pension Fund, from January 20, 2006
through November 10, 2008; and
WHEREAS, in addition to Mr. Veach she also served, but more importantly trained, City
Administrators Brian Whitehall, Marcos Montes De Oca, and Gary Ritter, as well as
Interim City Administrator John Cook. Upon her retirement, Robin will have served
longer than any other person in this position since its creation in 1980. Furthermore,
because of her direct responsibilities, it is only fitting to include the elected officials
she confidently served, which are Mayors James E. Kirk and Dowling R. Watford, Jr.,
two City Clerks, and 12 City Council Members. And we would be remiss not to
mention the two City Attorneys, John R. Cook, and John J. Fumero.
NOW, THEREFORE, this Certificate is presented on this 18th day of October 2022, to
recognize Robiri s 22 years of faithful service and her official retirement date of
October 31, 2022. She will always be known for her incredible work ethic, and as an
exceptional ambassador for the City.
May you be proud of the work you have done and the difference you have made.
We Will Miss You!
