After 18 years in City Manager Chris Brady's 'inner sanctum', the self-described thick-skinned City Hall insider is now one of three finalists under scrutiny for a new gig - up against two local candidates.
Savannah city manager finalists discuss public scrutiny, working with council during weekend panel
By Sean Evans |
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - With a new city and new title, often comes new scrutiny from the public.
Each finalist for Savannah City Manager was asked during a Saturday panel discussion at the Cultural Arts Center how they’d handle the pressure, beginning with Odie Donald II, currently the City Manager of South Fulton, Georgia.
“Everywhere I’ve been that’s how it starts off. But I’m prepared for it. I think you’re always, especially as a new guy here in the community that you’re not from, you’re always going to probably be under greater scrutiny," said Donald.
John Pombier, current Assistant City Manager in Mesa, Arizona says years as a prosecutor and in government have prepared him for the scrutiny, whether from the public, or from council.
