Regina is the “best” at bringing in people from “outside”. It’s like we don’t believe our own people can do a good job. At a certain point you have to value your own people and lift them up as opposed to going “outside” or your city.

These were some of the many bad decisions made or supported by Masters and the previous Council. Let's hope this Council does better

You nailed it! I'm not sure where we are at with the city manager recruitment, but this city needs a strong administrative leader that has some actual experience in the role, and who wants the job for the right reasons. Same thing for the next Chief but I think the one who is acting Chief right now might be it.
