Former councilman and mayoral candidate Danny Meeks
almost became Portsmouth’s city manager Tuesday. In fact, city council approved his appointment – only to unanimously reject it less than 15 minutes later.
The pulled vote headlined a bizarre council meeting that featured a spirited debate over Meek’s qualifications for the position.
Councilman Chris Woodard motioned that the council appoint Meeks to the city manager position. Councilman Paul Battle supported the appointment given Meeks’ “knowledge of the city.” Meeks once served on Portsmouth City Council.
