Aztec officials take step back in city manager search

One week changes a lot for city officials in Aztec. The City Commission met in closed session for six hours Monday to select the top city manager candidates to interview Dec.

It is very important to take the time necessary to make what is hopefully the right choice; then it is more important if the person doesn't work out to replace them (FCC is having an issue with this one). It takes a while to work your way through and find the right person.

However, working too slowly runs the risk of losing potentially strong candidates. Frankly, I wouldn't want the City Manager job in Aztec. City government is so dysfunctional and has been for years. I wonder if the two candidates who withdrew did some vetting of their own and discovered just how dysfunctional and odd this city really is.

They took a hard look at the dysfunctional City Commissioners, realized the cold hard facts and withdrew. Smart choice.

Farmington's Mayor and City Council have definitely gone into rogue trading. They do not listen to the citizen's, only those that serve their own interests.
This is why the selection of the City Manager is so important to the community.
You definitely do not want to wind up with a City Manager, as Farmington has done, that is only a pupet for the rogue traders.
