Chelsea council directs staff to post call for Interim Acting City Manager
Summary
The council directed staff to accept applications for an Interim Acting City Manager with applications due April 28 and a proposed start date of May 15; the council emphasized following the City Charter and considering outside candidates.
Chelsea’s City Council on April 24 directed staff to post a call for applications for an Interim Acting City Manager as the city moves to fill the leadership gap left by Roy Atkinson’s resignation.
The motion, moved by Mayor Pro Tem Tony Iannelli and seconded by Kate Mehuron, set a deadline for applications of April 28 and a proposed start date of May 15; the council recorded the vote as 'All ayes' and noted the posting will be reviewed at the next council meeting.
Council members and staff reviewed the City Charter requirement that a city manager perform day-to-day operational oversight and that council members may not assume departmental authority. Staff recommended considering outside candidates for the interim role and reported department feedback that suggests an organizational analysis may be needed.
The council asked staff to post the call widely and return with applicants for council review at its next scheduled meeting.
