Posted: City manager candidate not afraid of challenges
By Rick McCrabb Staff Writer Since
1979, Norfleet Jr., one of the five finalists for the city manager’s job in “Those who don’t want challenges stay put,”
he said Friday afternoon after driving into Norfleet Jr. and the other candidates —
Doug Adkins, director of community revitalization, Middletown; Cathy Davison,
former city manager, Steubenville, Ohio; Les Landen, Middletown law director;
and Jane Howington, city manager, Newport, R.I. — will participate in a public
forum from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. today in the City Council chambers in the lower
level of the City Building. There will be a facilitator who will ask
questions given to him by the audience. Then the audience will have an
opportunity to provide written feedback on the candidates, and those comments
will be given to city council who will select current city manager Judy
Gilleland’s replacement. Gilleland is set to retire June 6. She makes $127,654
a year. For
the last two years, Norfleet Jr. has served as city manager in Socorro, Texas,
a city with 32,000 residents, or 16,000 fewer than Middletown. He was hired as
the city’s first permanent city manager since 2008 and he’s paid $135,000 a
year. Before that, he was fired as city manager
in Norfleet
said he thought he was unfairly targeted for having elected officials make hard
financial decisions, but he added he could have better warned the council of
the deficit, according to reports. Ironically, when asked one of his career
highlights, he mentioned balancing the budget in While driving to the Still, he said, the All
this week the Journal-News profiled the five candidates for the city manager
position. All of the profiles appear online at www.Journal-News.com: TUESDAY: Cathy Davison WEDNESDAY: Doug Adkins THURSDAY: Jane Howington FRIDAY: Les Landen TODAY:
