    “How do you justify directly violating your own charter to hire this guy?,” Petree asked Mayor Mills.

    Mayor Mills responded, saying: “We don’t believe we’ve violated the charter and our City Solicitor is working on a proper response to that.”

    When pressed, Mayor Mills would not comment further on any questions regarding Tedder’s qualifications, saying “I’ve already answered that.”


    What part of "No person shall be appointed...." is there to review? :rolleyes:
    It seems that an actual engineering degree is not necessary to qualify for the position. An employment record as a city manager of at least four years or four years of "practical" engineering experience (they don't define this) each would also qualify. So which of these options does the new manager (Mr. Tedder) meet?

    It appears he listens to Mop Top's pressers. That is right out of her infantile repertoire of responses.

    So, we have established that there is no proper basis to hire this guy, and on top of that pay him crazy money.
    Could it be.....isn't it obvious....if you put 2 and 2 together....
    We may have a Fani Willis situation here. But this could be even worse, 'cause Nathan wade was at least qualified (supposedly).
    What else could it be?

    OK, you got me.

    If it turns out that the salary was needed to get Tedder away from his wife and kids then he moves in with the Mayor to live happily ever after I'll treat you to a lunch at Grottos!

    “The hiring of Mr. Tedder, by unanimous vote, was a statement that our hiring of Taylour applies with the spirit of the charter, and ensuring that a satisfactory candidate is appointed city manager.”

    Members of the public in attendance weren’t swayed.

    Cynthia and Bill Broydrick, who live on St. Lawrence Street, each had different concerns.

    Cynthia said in a sarcastic tone that she and others in the city would like to be able to participate in the city’s mortgage reduction plan.

    Bill questioned provisions in the charter about minimum requirements, which, he said, Tedder simply doesn’t meet. The city acted out of fear and now it’s in this situation, he said.

    Property owner Jim Johnson said the contract is tone deaf to what the citizens of the city want, and he questioned why, if the city is providing such a house loan, commissioners didn’t require him to live in town.

    A lot of mistakes were made and this was poorly handled, said Johnson.

    Other than Mills’ opening comment, no other comments were made by commissioners.

    Also not discussed during the meeting was how the city got to the terms of the contract. At a previous meeting, which took place April 19, Mills said commissioners would provide that information in the future.

    When asked why the explanation wasn’t prepared for the May 6 meeting, Mills said it would be forthcoming, but it wasn’t ready at that point.


    Who did Tedder blow, and when did he blow them? :rofl:
