This is not good ‘ol boy, this is insertion of municipal experience that is severely lacking in Century. You get what you pay for. Who cares if these men are making good money. If it prevents future decades of waste and mismanagement from occurring, then consider it an investment. I would suggest giving them enough rope to make sweeping changes and judge the results accordingly. I doubt they are interested in destroying the place and ruining their reputations.

Well, well, well. Looks like Century managed to find them a good ole boy to help make their illegal workings look good. Sad, sad, sad.

He’s already retired with a 25 year FRS pension. After 6 months he can legally be rehired at his previous position, or hired as “consultant”. FRS needs to change the rule. The college degree requirement should stay (no in lieu of experience). Younger people need these jobs that have degrees, pass the torch already!

Why doesn’t the council interview the other candidates and see what they are will to do? Are they more qualified and willing to serve as interim? Why does Buzz get to get rid of them and hire his buddy?

Seems to me Mr. Eddy is only recommending his buddy in the interim. The application process is still open.

This is the last chance for Century to start over. We have to be open and think deeply of all the different aspects of hiring a town manager. Let’s be realistic. How many more qualified people in or near Century will apply for the position?

So if there’s a buddy system being used does that make Mr. Prather less qualified? Perhaps Mr. Eddy is just recommending the most qualified person at this time?
