Thinking Out Loud
Quick-draw council
The City Council is not especially known for agreeing on issues or making quick decisions.
But it appears the council couldn’t vote fast enough Tuesday to close the search process for a new city manager.
The 6-0 vote did not include all council members.
One who wasn’t there for the vote, Trudy Wade, said she had been stuck in traffic and didn’t even know the vote was coming.
She called in to say she would be late, Wade said two days later.
“They could have kept me on the phone and I could have voted,” she said Thursday.
Wade also said she questioned the closed approach.
The majority vote probably would have held anyway, but dissenting views would have forced a discussion.
A discussion the council didn’t seem eager to have.
