Why do we have to have a city manager? why cant the mayor just do the job and save the city some more $$$.

SGTATARMS we need the city manager and he needs an assistant and the assistant needs an assitant and he will need two secretaries that will do all the work of all of the above. Thats how we work here. Geesh

No one in the county/city should be able to apply to eliminate any perception that the non-existent job description is written for any one presently with the county/city. Otherwise just save us the money and let the city council appoint one.

I hope Mr. Lyons is awarded the position. In my opinion, he would have to be the most qualified to succeed Haley. He is a man of hiqh character and extensive experience in serving this community. To overlook him for any reason, simply to appease skeptics, would not be in the best interest of this community.

I would use the job evaluation sheet that the Council fills out every year as a framework and just flesh it out. I cant' believe they hired Rob Lyons without a job description. Rob could easily write one and it would probably be better that anyone else could come up with.

I find it hard to imagine someone from somewhere else in the country rising above our current deputy city manager. The learning curve alone will take months if not years to get even with him with regard to how this city operates, the competency levels of department heads, the multitude of issues facing our community every day, particularly in this difficult economic time. Time to leave politics out of this selection process and get on with common sense.

The city needs a complete house cleaning, from the city manager and mayor on down, including a new representative city council elected by ward.
Anybody want to be the local pols are NOT in favor of that idea?

From living in Illinois, I learned about ward healers and all of the corruption that goes with wards. We don't need that kind of political bosses here.
