Portland BES Director to Receive $250,000 Following His Resignation
Saturday, January 03, 2015
The City of Portland will look to pay embattled Bureau of Environmental Services Director Dean Marriott close to $250,000 following his resignation and the settlement of his civil service employment claim.
Marriott was put on administrative leave in October after media reports out-of-control spending on a new BES office building in North Portland began to surface.
Marriott and his staff also rent the most expensive private offices in the city’s portfolio.
City officials confirmed that under the agreement Marriott would receive a year’s pay, plus the attorney fees that he has incurred, in return for not pursing a tort he filed in December of this year.
Marriott, an administrator with over 20 years of history, was the last bureau director at the city covered under civil service labor protections. Marriott claimed he was unfairly suspended and his complaint was scheduled to go before the Civil Service Board.
The City Council will vote on the agreement on Jan. 7.
