The comments that precede mine make it clear that Mayor Potter’s motion to promote Dale Smith to the city manager’s position was a well researched and publicly desirable decision. I have no doubt that had we embarked on a long, expensive, search for city manager candidates, Dale’s name would have been very high on the list of our final candidates. Dale will do a great job for the city he has grown up in and made a central part of his life, I’m sure. We’re lucky to have him.
