Angier commissioners discuss Town Manager hiring process at special workshop

The Town of Angier Board of Commissioners held a special-called workshop on June 16 to lay groundwork for hiring a new Town Manager. The board discussed the desired candidate profile and qualifications, anticipated salary range and recruitment logistics but did not take a formal vote on hiring or a recruitment firm.

Mayor Bob Jusnes opened the meeting and led the Pledge of Allegiance. Commissioners present — Mayor Pro Tem Sheveil Harmon and Commissioners Jennifer Sloan, Debra Fields and Chuck Carey — participated in a round of discussion about the scope of experience and attributes the board seeks in a new manager, including management experience and familiarity with municipal finance and operations. Interim Town Manager Steve Neuschafer and staff answered procedural questions about the timeline and next steps but did not present a recommended candidate or specific salary proposal during the workshop.

Board members emphasized different priorities for the role during the discussion. The record shows the board discussed an anticipated salary range and recruitment process, but the meeting transcript does not specify salary figures or whether the board agreed on a timeline to post or recruit for the position. No motion to begin recruitment, retain a search firm, or appoint an interim beyond current staffing was recorded.

The workshop served as a planning session; the board proceeded later in the meeting to adopt the fiscal-year budget and routine year-end financial items. The record does not show further personnel actions on June 16.
