RFP Staff
♦ At the last Town Council meeting of the prospering berg of Midland, N.C. the council extended the offer of full-time Town Administrator to former Salisbury City Manager Doug Paris.
Paris’s legend grows throughout Cabarrus County. Sources inform the RFP that Paris accepted the Town Administrator’s mantle and a generous new multi-year contract. It becomes official at the next Town Council meeting on September 8th.
Midland is moving toward restructuring its form of government from mayor-council to council-manager via charter amendment. In that restructuring process the council unanimously adopted a “resolution of intent” and set a public hearing on the matter for the September 8th meeting. After the public hearing the town council can make a decision on the council-manager form of government at the next consecutive meeting on October 18th.
It is reported that Paris would continue in his administrator position if Midland changes over to the council-manager government form.
Congratulations once again from the staff and management of the Rowan Free Press.
