Eddy Wants To Scrap Century City Manager Applications, Hire His Former Coworker For Now
November 17, 2019
Century Interim Town Manager Buz Eddy wants to scrap applications received for a permanent town manager and instead hire his former coworker on a longer term interim basis.
Vernon Prather began working for the town on a consulting basis as part of a $35 an hour package deal when now Eddy came on board in July.
Prather served Gulf Breeze in various positions from 2006 to 2017, including director of public services, operations consultant and assistant city manager, while Eddy retired as Gulf Breeze city manager in 2017 after 25 years on the job.
Five applications, including Prather’s, were received for the job of permanent Century city manager. Eddy did not apply, telling the town council that he would stick around until a replacement could be hired.
In a memo to be considered Monday night by the Century Town Council, Eddy recommends that Prather be moved from interim gas superintendent to interim town manager and an employment contract be drafted for council approval.
Eddy says in his memo that he believes there will more interest in the town manager position after the Century Charter Review Committee completes its work. The committee will consider making a charter change to official establish a city manager position. Significant changes would require voter approval next year.
Eddy also says Prather is working on several town projects currently, including water, wastewater and gas improvements. He holds certified water and wastewater treatment plant certifications.
“There is no one better suited to serve as Interim City Manager during this period,” Eddy states in his memo.
The Century Town Council will hear Eddy’s recommendation during their regular meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at town hall. To date, the town council has not formerly consider the applications received for the town manager position.
