The city of North Miami has a reputation for hiring incompetent friends and family. The attempt to fire Rasha Cameau shows the extremes to which council members are willing to go even when it endangers a $400 million dollar water plant as well as the property, health and safety of an entire community. The City of North Miami forcibly annexed NE 3rd court citing that the area was 13 voters short of the 250 minimum required to gain the right to vote.
On April 9, 2024, Council members Kassandra Timothe, Mary Estime-Irvin, and Pierre Frantz Charles voted to fire City Manager Rasha Cameau and could not come up with good reasons when the City attorney advised that a list was required.
There were many issues in the Public Works Performance Memorandum: Only two will be highlighted. The first is regarding problems with the WIFIA loan and the water plant. One issue with the WIFIA loan was the use of outdated information resulting in an estimate for the water plant of $150 million dollars due to the use of 2006 figures. The real cost of the plant is $400 million. The second was the lack of funding for the NE 3rd court drainage project (the atrocity of NE 3rd court is documented below, in YouTube video playlist).

- Due to problems in Public Works, City Manager Rasha Cameau assigned Deputy City Manager, Aneisha Daniel to handle the very important WIFIA loan for a new water plant. In a report regarding the water plant project and WIFIA loan, Ms Daniel determined that Public Works Director, Wisler Pierre-Louis “failed to provide critical information due to competing priorities and shortages of key personnel, with two vacant Assistant Director positions. It should be pointed out that several good applicants were interviewed and considered; regrettably, no offers were made to any of those candidates since the Director desired to promote from within, despite the fact that staff lacked the necessary abilities to do the job adequately.”
On April 28, three individuals filed a complaint with the Florida State Attorney’s office alleging that the three council members violated Section 19 of the City of North Miami charter when “the above-named council knowingly interfered with the hiring and firing of City staff member Wisler Pierre-Louis, the department head of North Miami Public Works”
