Why is he allowed to circumvent the rules that have been in place? There are plenty of houses available to choice from that have the same criteria as his present house and for less money. Let him bring himself up here and establish residency in Middlletown in a hotel or rent something until his house sells that's what was expected of past city managers. Why is he privileged? This more of his arrogance showing through. Does the tiger really change his stripes? IMO. WAKE UP COUNCIL !!!!!

Noticed today, reading the Nov 4th workbook on the city site, that Adkins was suppose to establish residency by December 1st. It has now been extended until May 2015 by council legislation. Perhaps Douggie is a tad bit reluctant to move from a more affluent area like Mason to the low income city he helped create.

The workbook also contains the city building salary breakouts based on level of position if interested.

Looks like we have some more hirings for replacement from Noah Powers III, HR Manager, and one part time school bus driver termination for theft. ]]> Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:52:15 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5774&PID=43969&title=new-city-managers-contract#43969 New City Manager's Contract : Hope and Change?

Yes, we have a little hope.  We can hope that Adkins chooses a house away from the rest of the existing power brokers...then we can have hope that at least that one more Middletown street will be paved in the near future!!!]]> Sat, 21 Jun 2014 21:12:18 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5774&PID=43096&title=new-city-managers-contract#43096 New City Manager's Contract : new is in--hopefully many old... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5774&PID=43095&title=new-city-managers-contract#43095 Author: spiderjohn

new is in--hopefully many old will be out
new guy promises change, so I will stick with him unless shown otherwise
took quite a while to systematically get into this quagmire--we won't get out quickly

can we have a little hope?

What has he accomplished since 2005? So what should we expect. The whole thing was a farce and nothing will change. The group remains intact and the city continues in the downward spiral.

Mike,
   The exceptions prove the rule. You and the others who have worked so hard, for so long, and posted on this forum certainly are the few exceptions. Out of some 40 - 48 thousand people in the city, or perhaps more importantly, out of all the taxpayers who live in the city,  very few have stood up to the inequities from city council though the years. I don't know how you could have done more. You have voted, written volumes, gone to court ,attended meetings, gotten involved with the political process, run for office and continue to represent citizens in a number of ways. You are the exact opposite of apathy. I wish other taxpayers would get involved just half as much as you and others on this forum have. My hat is off to you.

If anyone thinks that I haven't done enough...I sincerely apologize.

But...I've been beaten my head against these City Hall walls for about fourteen years.  The walls are undamaged, my head hurts like the dickens.
