ITerry Thomas, city administrator, has failed to competently perform his duties for thepast year and a half, His tenure as city administrator has been one of turmoil. It's time tostop blaming prrcvious administrators, city clerks, & auditors. Take ownership of thecity's problems & move forward.

l) Mr. Thomas does not clearly articulate information or keep citizens or board informed.Mr Thomas informed the board at the May 5tr meeting abouf the cell tower proposal inHunter's Glen. Three board members (myself included) thought the location of the celltower was to be the main sewer plant. We later found out the location was to be Hunter'sGlen. Information just received (5-27-14) indicates the cell tower proposal was 'in theworks' in January of 2O14.Mr Thomas failed to keep the citizens living along ZHighway informed regarding theZHighway sewer project.In the case of two citizen issues that I personally know aboul Mr Thomas has not'gottenback to' either parry.

2) Dishonesty: Mr Thomas has repeatedly lied or told half-truths. When confronted, hesays, "You must have misunderstood."Whent.he Teamsters @ntract was peing discussed, Mr Thomas stated that tle city wasnot paying for a minimum numbef of members. Totals paid to Teamsters an20l2 &2013P-bills reflect that the city is paying for a minimum number of members. $42,O0O hasbeen budgeted for Teamsters in2Ol4.It appears that provision was projected to pay forabout 130 Teamster members.Mr Thomas 'got offon the wrong foot' from the beginning over the matter of his truck,which was listed on a P-bill. He told several different stories & finally said he bought it.When asked if the residents of-Hunter's Glen knew about the cell towerproposal, MrThomas replied, "Yes." Spoke with a resident this morning (5-3 I - I 4) who never heard ofthis project.

3) Incompetence: Failure to do job"...shall devote his efforts, expertise, & services to the City on a full time basis."In the last 3 wks Mr Thomas has hardly been at city hall. It is reported that he has beengone to at least one track meet & to therapy for his knee during the work day.Mr Thomas has not gathered an inventory from each deparunent head.According to Ordinance 115.200 #2"The City Administrator shall be the chief BudgetOfficer for the city & shall be responsible for the prepararion fo the City budget for alldepartrnents, the coordination for all budget requests..." Mr Thomas passed offthis duty(making the 2014 budget) to the city clerk. The department heads had no input into thebudgets for their deparunents, nor knowledge of what their budgets are.The board has received.no numbers to prove the city is better off, or'in the black.'Mr Thomas does not provide the board with monthly financial reports which he issupposed to do, nor has he provided an annual report of the activity of each departrnent.According to Ordinance 115.200 #9, "The City Adminisrrator shall be the Chiif CrantOfficer of the City & shall coordinate, assist in the preparation of & actively seek outsuch State & Federal aid programs as may be desirable & beneficial to the City..."
