Search for new city attorney jump-started
City Manager Mitchell Johnson said Friday he wants to have a new city attorney hired within 90 days.
In a memo to City Council members sent Friday, Johnson also said the city will hire a recruting firm, which will get input from members of the council. He placed an ad on the city's Web site on Friday.
"While this is obviously a fast schedule, I believe it can be achieved with the help of a recruiting firm and my clear focus to get it done," he wrote.
The memo doesn't mention any of the recent flap about whether Linda Miles should return. Previous blog entries here and here.
The subject will no doubt come up during the meeting Tuesday night.
Oh, one bit of understatement in Johnson's memo: "I want to thank Council for their feedback over the last few days with regard to moving foward with the search for the new city attorney."
Feedback? That's one way to put it.
