NORTH PORT – North Port city commissioners picked 11 city manager candidate semifinalists from a field of 45 applicants Wednesday morning.
Doug Thomas, a senior vice president with Texas-based SGR, the firm hired to conduct a nationwide search, vetted candidates from as far away as the state of Washington, but five of the top candidates have recent experience in Florida. Eight are certified managers with the International City/County Management Association.
Three of those candidates, Caryn Gardner-Young, a Florid Department of Transportation planning supervisor; Thomas Hutka, public works director for Broward County; and Jane Shang, former city manager for Deltona, were all semifinalists in April for the Fort Myers city manager job that went to Marty Lawing, the former county manager in Guilford County, North Carolina.
NORTH PORT â Locals should decide North Portâs septic-to-sewer future, not politicians, according to Dan Beilman, a lead opponent to such conversion plans.
The retired North Port resident and others push hard on that message everywhere they can: in public forums, on social media, a small army collecting voter signatures at City Hall, at pop-up sites around town.
The goal is getting the conversion question in front of voters. And while North Port rules state commissioners decide financial questions with ordinances, that final decision is yet to be determined, Beilman insisted.
âItâs all about money,â he said of septic conversions.
Septic-to-sewer opposition gathers steam, North Porters want the decision
