Willie Quarles - Town Commissioner, Dundee, FL 901-218-0866<br />

Mr. Quarles has known Mr. Stewart since 2010. Mr. Quarles has worked on many issues and<br />

projects with Mr. Stewart since he joined the Commission. Mr. Stewart helps the Commission<br />

by always being prepared, presenting complete information packets, and preparing agendas.<br />

Mr. Stewart completes projects in a timely manner and usually under budget. For example,<br />

Dundee contracted for the repaving of certain roads. As the project approached completion, Mr.<br />

Stewart assessed that the project would come in under budget. He spotted the opportunity and,<br />

since the equipment was already onsite, asked the contractor to use the remaining funds to repave<br />

additional roads. The completed projected included two more additional roads than planned.<br />

Mr. Stewart is fiscally responsible. He turned Dundee’s financial problems around, in part by<br />

restructuring staff and updating processes. He assessed the existing Director’s effectiveness and<br />

determined that a new Director would be a better fit for Dundee. He quickly hired a new person.<br />

Mr. Stewart reviewed the concept of whether staff and funds could be better utilized if non-city<br />

workers took over certain activities. He partnered with local prisons so that now, low-risk<br />

prisoners maintain Dundee’s grounds instead of city crews. He identified that bookkeeping<br />

processes needed to be updated. Dundee now uses electronic tracking for all its bookkeeping.<br />
