Savannah paper: Our manager is candidate in Greensboro

From this morning's Savannah Morning News:

Savannah City Manager Michael Brown is a candidate for the same position in another city.

Savannah City Council met behind closed doors Thursday to discuss the situation and come up with a "contingency plan" for replacing Brown if he leaves.

No one is saying publicly where Brown is a candidate. However four different people with knowledge of the situation, but who asked not to be identified, said in separate conversations that Brown was approached by a recruiting firm for the city manager position in Greensboro, N.C.
...
When asked if he was a candidate in Greensboro, he said: "There is nothing for us to discuss."

Greensboro officials haven't disclosed their finalists yet. The city's former manager retired Aug. 1.

Brown has been well-liked in Savannah during his 10-year tenure. He was hired in 1995 to replace the late, long-time city manager Don Mendonza.
