New County Manager
In an apparent disregard of the qualification requirements of the Optional Plan for a County Manager, the Council has selected Mike Davis to be made permanent."
Mr. Davis has performed adequately in his position as interim County Manger, but of the 100 plus candidates for the office there were surely more experienced, professionally qualifed people that could better fill the job. Regretably several of the Council seemed to have added an artificial "requirement" of current Wasatch County residency.
The plan specified "a Bachelors degree in Public Administration, Business Management, Law, or a related field, have a Minimum of five (5) years of experience working at a management level in business or government. The successful candidate must be willing to live within a one hour drive from Wasatch County offices by the end of their first six months of employment.", Mr Davis has a degree in Mechanical Engineering and his management level "experience" seems debatable, but he is gaining experience "on-the-job."
