MEMORANDUM
TO: Marlene Hochstadt
FROM: Mark D. Hoffer
DATE: 12/21/2000
RE; Proposed New Hire - Heather Belovin
I enclose herewith a signed DEP-2 form, requesting approval of the hiring of Heather
Belovin as an Agency Attorney-III, at an initial salary of $65,000 per annum.
Heather previously worked for my Bureau, until she left approximately 2 months ago to
take a position with the Department of Youth and Community Services. She has indicated a
desire to return to DEP, provided she is "held harmless" in terms of a salary increase she had
been promised at Youth Services. In this regard, Heather was promised an increase to $65,000
per annum after the anniversary of her last raise (1 am advised that the anniversary date would be
January 10, 2001).
Accordingly, the enclosed DEP-2 reflects a promotion to Attorney-III (her last position
with DEP was as an Attorney-II), at a salary of $65,000 per annum.
I discussed this new hire (in actuality, a re-hire) with Commissioner Miele, and Charles
Sturcken. They agree with me that if it can be accomplished, it would be far preferable to hire an
experienced attorney who is familiar with DEP staff and practices, rather than hiring an
"unknown".
Upon her re-hiring, Heather would again work as a watershed attorney under the
supervision of Sandra Jackson. During her prior tenure at DEP, Heather demonstrated that she
was a competent and dedicated attorney, fully capable of handling this work and representing the
agency's best interests. I have no reason to believe that her performance in the future will be
