Trudy Wade was still upset Friday that the City Council voted Tuesday to close the search process for a new city manager without letting her know it was going to vote on that issue -- and without allowing her the time to get to the meeting to participate in that vote
She was only minutes away, she said.
“Maybe I should have run up the stairs faster,” she said.
Wade was late for the meeting, but had phoned to let Mayor Yvonne Johnson know she was on her way.
She said Johnson did not tell her a vote was imminent.
“I feel I got left out of the process,” she said..
How would Wade have voted?
She said she would have preferred at least revealing the names of the two or three finalists and allowing them the chance to interact with the community.
Which was the more reasonable option, especially in Greensboro, where trust and transparency remain pertinent issues.
Wade said she’ll voice her concern at Monday’s meeting.
