The Knoxville City Council has spent much of 2021 focusing on the hiring of a new city manager. At a work session Monday evening, council members discussed priorities relating to the position. Mayor Brian Hatch says there was some discussion about incorporating economic development within the position, but the council decided the normal city manager duties are first and foremost.
“At the end of the day, it sounds like they were all in agreement that we want the city manager to still focus on city manager duties. An economic development background would be great, but we don’t want that to solely be the focus. We think there’s enough stuff on the city manager’s plate with budgets, projects, managing staff, all those things. They wear all those hats already, and we didn’t want to add more to their plate. So I think that’s where city council landed throughout that discussion.”
Calendar year 2020 is officially in the past. Knoxville Mayor Brian Hatch says it was a year marred by the challenges of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic as a public official.
“Up and down all year, it was so hard, so many unknowns, so many new things for us, just so new. Nobody knew where to go with it, and that was a little scary. I feel like in our society today, we feel like we have the answers to everything, and for the first time in a long time, everyone was looking around saying ‘What do we do, where do we go with this?’ So it was a lot of first steps for us, quite a learning process. It was really difficult for the whole community. Everyone knows that, not to state the obvious, but it was a difficult time. And we’re still going through it, we still have a long way to go. Hopefully we can weather this storm and get somewhat back to normal.”
