@IMHO

You mean the $12,496 a year 5 figure salary.

This is “we broke” Century you’re talking about.

But really, hopefully this will be a good thing. Depends on who is hired.

The Mayor can’t be recalled. He was ineffective.
This needs to be done.

This is a work around. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Someone needs to read the charter. Page 2 Article 2 states the Mayor is the Chief Executive Officer of the town/ Section 3 B the mayor has general supervision over all town affairs and direct and supervise the administration of all departments, offices, and agencies of the town, except as other wise provided by state law. The charter can only be changed by a vote of the people. Why are the citizens going to have to pay for a position that they have already voted for someone to do. If the present mayor cant do or wont do then get rid of him and elect someone that will do the job. The Town of Century cannot afford to pay the kind of salary they will have to pay to get a qualified person. It appears to me that certain individuals want things their way and and will stop at nothing to get it done. What happen to the charter review committee, someone must not like the people that was willing to give their time. Come on council quit letting one woman run the show

I’m sure that managers with Bachelor’s Degrees will be lining up to come work for the town of Century. Best laugh I’ve had all week.

I will say this, if and when someone is hired they need a back bone to stand up to each and every one to get this town in shape. This has gone on to long for this town to be in this kind of shape. Check it once and then twice to have all your ducks in a row.

Let me guess, a candidate with none of the qualifications will apply and be hired just because she’s friends with Hawkins and sleeping with the gas superintendent….

Oh wait, we already filled that position.
