Council sets city manager's last day, names interim manager

City of Fairborn council members adopted Resolution No. 40-16 on Oct. 3, 2016, establishing the current city manager's final day of employment as October 7, 2016, and naming Pete Bales to serve as the city manager until a search is completed. Mike Mayer, the city solicitor, read the resolution aloud and explained its provisions for paying accrued benefits.

Mayer told the council the resolution "sets the current City Manager's last day of employment as October 7, 2016 and indicates that any benefits that she has accrued will be paid out, and named Pete Bales as the City Manager until Council's search is completed." Councilwoman Marilyn McCauley moved adoption; the motion passed on a 5-0 voice vote (McCauley, Keller, Hoffman, Wilson and Mayor Kirkpatrick voting yes). The resolution takes effect immediately.
