City Manager interviews


No bets on this choice! Read the PB Post ARTICLE.

Thomas Hoover. I missed his interview this morning. I heard that he was excellent.

Susan Stanton—Believes in the 3 P’s—“Pride, Passion and Professionalism”

Stanley Hawthorne—“Maybe we do best when we do less.”

Pam Brangaccio—“Challenges are opportunities.” Believes that nothing is impossible to achieve.

You had to be there this morning for the commission interviews. All these candidates were excellent in their own right. Our Commission has an awesome responsibility. We have failed twice now in the past, choosing a city manager that just could not find the correct solution and did not guide the Commission. We managed to get in more and more trouble through bad contracts and bad decisions.

Your guess is as good as mine at this point. I would never take the bet.
