ONEONTA – City Clerk Doug Kendall has distributed the agenda for tonight’s special Common Council meeting, and it includes a motion to add “two non-council members to the City Manager Search Committee.”

Council members will then go into executive session “to discuss those proposed as non-council members” on the committee. Council will then go back into regular session to “appoint those recommended by Common Council” to join the search committee.

Mayor Dick Miller called tonight’s meeting after five members of a Charter Revision Committee he appointed asked that the search committee be broadened to tap community expertise in finding a successor for Oneonta’s first city manager, Mike Long, who retired suddenly this spring after only 18 months.

The five were Charter Revision Committee members John Dudek and Steve Londner, County Rep. Kay Stuligross, Council member David Rissberger,  Charter Revision Committee chair Laurie Zimniewicz.
