The Inside Scoop
Manager search update
City Council members met in closed session again today to discuss city manager candidates.
The discussion took so long – more than two hours – they actually canceled Tuesday afternoon’s planned council briefing.
After council members came out of closed session, Mayor Yvonne Johnson said that the council continued to negotiate and had not yet reached a conclusion. She would not elaborate about what she meant.
City Council members interviewed five semi-finalists for the job last week. They have not indicated where they are in the hiring process or revealed any information about the candidates for the position.
Councilwomen Goldie Wells and Mary Rakestraw did not attend today's City Council meeting. Last week Rakestraw, who was out of town, attended the interview sessions via telephone.
It was unclear Tuesday whether Rakestraw or Wells listened in on the closed session discussion by telephone.
