Randy Hemann, who has been offered the position of Red Bank City Manager position.
In less than five minutes, Red Bank commissioners unanimously chose Randy Hemann, of Salisbury, N.C., to be their new city manager during a special meeting Tuesday night.
The move came after a weeklong delay as commissioners called the decision “agonizing” and had no real consensus for their top choice.
The packed room in Red Bank City Hall resounded with applause after commissioners voted, but it could be days and a series of contract negotiations before the city has a final answer from Hemann, Mayor Monty Millard said.
Hemann has served 15 years as executive director of Downtown Salisbury Inc., a nonprofit devoted to extensive revitalization efforts and economic growth in the city of about 32,000.
Hemann did not return calls for comment Tuesday evening.
