Columbia County Board of Supervisors Chairman Matt Murell, R-Stockport, is planning to form a committee to consider the creation of a county administrator.
The county administrator role would be the county's chief operating officer, Murell said, differing greatly from the county executive role that was discussed earlier this year. The key difference being the county administrator role would report to and work under the direction of the broad, whereas a county executive would outrank board members, Murell said.
Another difference is that a county administrator would be hired by the Board of Supervisors whereas a county executive would be elected by the people.

Not very different than the recent charter reform proposal in Hudson. Sounds good to me. 👍
ReplyDeleteEveryone should “report to and work under the direction of the broad.” Or at least a broad.
ReplyDeleteStep in the right direction if it ever gets close to implementation... still very House of Cards.
ReplyDelete"FORM a committee... to CONSIDER the creation..."
If they wanted to do it this way... it would be done.
What does Hudson mayor Kamal Johnson, Nick Zachos, and Matt Murell all have in common?
They got their start in public service by way of growing Youth Center budgets and employment.
