Former Mayor of Snellville Brett Harrell (pictured) clarifies some details about Mayor Jerry Oberholtzer serving as Interim City Manager in his blog.It has me thinkin,' hey, if Jerry's not getting additional income to serve as Interim City Manager, he's saving the City of Snellville some money, isn't he? City Manager salary is something like $100K if I remember right.
I think what needs to happen at City Hall is what needs to happen in most businesses and families...better communication. I think many people, including those on the City Council, see Mayor Oberholtzer as having a "full speed ahead" attitude, and they feel like they are being run over by him.
But this is what happens when someone is accustomed to getting things done. It certainly is frustrating to be a person who wants to get things accomplished and has a vision...but sometimes a person like that has to work to slow down and make sure everyone understands what is going to be done and why a decision was made. This is basic People-ology.
Still, I am disturbed by the over $30K given to a Municipal Manager's Association (it was tucked in with something else that was passed) and our City Council members didn't know it was approved(?!?) Some Council members just thought it was discussed and not approved. Can we get Starbucks to donate some coffee or something for these people? Lord, you know I love you all on the City Council, but you need to wake up!
