Former city manager missed final list
Jim Blagg won't be the new city manager in Clearwater, Fla.
The former Abilene city manager wasn't among the three finalists
when Clearwater city commissioners narrowed the list from five
Monday.
Commissioners didn't state why Blagg failed to make the cut.
But observers said the commission was apparently unimpressed with
Blagg's presentation during a public interview last week.
The Tampa and St. Petersburg newspapers also reported concerns
raised about Blagg concerning Abilene's failed library bond issue
of 1992 and his involvement with a city employee during his divorce.
Blagg served as Abilene's city manager from 1984-94.
For the past three years, he has lived in Dallas and worked
as a vice president for The Toro Co., a turf products company.
He recently quit the job to return to municipal management.
