I made the point that, although

retired, I still did consulting engineering work with clients in the chemical

processing industry with no conflict in duties of the WASA. Interview

lasted approximately 10-15 minutes and I was then escorted to the rear

door.

The response, not too quickly,

was someone else selected. I accepted this and six months later applied

for a position on the Planning Commission. This interview went much more

quickly than the previous not selected. There was no feedback in each

case.

As to the case with Willis

Granger he had extensive experience in contract management with the FAA,

engineering degree. His vote on the West 74 annexation, in my opinion,

was the criteria for non-reappointment. The city council has no alternative

but to accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission search committee.

I make the suggestions that

the interim process be reviewed: Develop a formal interview procedure,

publish the names and short qualifications for each applicant. The final

votes should be confidential and submitted to City Council in executive

session.

Peachtree City is rapidly moving

to higher density, higher taxes, bureaucratic management, bad decisions.
