It's interesting the divide in opinions about the role and job quality the city staff provide. To me sa lot of it seems semantics. The city manager is "strong" because council demures to him, and only because. I had thought COVID broke us of our addiction to flowing "experts". But there does appear to be a life stage or age difference in that opinion. Looks like the pay raise is doing as intended, its bringing out more competition to the mayor's position. Another great unbiased article.

The city manager is only as strong as council allows she or he to be.
