City Manager Greeted

At City Hall Reception

Councilman John Rafter, Ward 7, meets with George Korthauer, Oneonta’s new city manager, during a noon-time reception at City Hall today. “He has a combination of 25 years of experience an a hands-on, approachable and involved attitude,” Mayor Gary Herzig said in welcoming remarks.  “His first few weeks will be spent learning, then we will focus on our list of goals that include organization, procedures, assets and how to efficiently use City resources.”  Korthauer, chosen from 90 applicants, spent the morning  with the personnel director at a staff meeting, and planned on touring some city facilities this afternoon. “There is so much going on here, I am just trying to get caught up!” said Korthauer.
