Monty Millard
The Red Bank city manager position has been vacant a full three months now, but city commissioners say they are willing to suspend the search until they fill a newly vacant commission post.
“We’re not going to panic or make any quick decisions. It’s very important we have a fifth commissioner before we continue this process,” said Mayor Monty Millard during Tuesday’s meeting.
Former Vice Mayor Greg Jones moved to Alaska in December, opening up a position on the five member board.
During the meeting, the commission voted to appoint Commissioner John Roberts to the vice mayor position. Roberts, who was narrowly elected commissioner in 2010, said he was “grateful” for the appointment.
So far, no one has applied for the vacant commission post, though the city has posted ads.
