Public Comments at Board of Supervisor Meeting (Opinion)
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Tue, 08/13/2019 - 6:35pm
Just a few years ago the Board put into effect a method of how to select a City Manager. This procedure was discarded at a later Board meeting as the Mayor said: “I will ask Nancy if she wants the job”. There are numerous city employees and potential outside qualified candidates that were not given an opportunity to apply for this position.
What is even more bizarre, is that the Mayor did not ask Stacy Giomi if he wanted the job, as he had previously applied for this very position.
