City Manager Questioned Over Ad Agency Contract Mishap

OCEAN CITY – City staff members received a tongue lashing this week after the town’s advertising agency’s notice period of its contract expiration slipped and was automatically renewed for another year.

At the conclusion of this week’s Mayor and City Council legislative session, Councilman Brent Ashley brought up then contract extension of the town’s advertising agency, MGH, expressing frustration with how the opportunity for the town to re-bid went to the wayside.


Ashley approached the subject a few weeks ago asking if a Request For Proposal (RFP) to re-bid the town’s advertising contract had been considered. Staff was unsure of the expiration date on MGH’s contract and replied it would be looked into and brought back for discussion.

I'm guessing someone's "brother-in-law" has an interest in MGH.

I'm not seeing this as the fault of the city manager. It seems to be the fault of the dept head who oversees the dept which this contract falls under. It's not the job of the city manager to micromangage every dept, but to have in place mangers of those departments who do their job efficiently.

Recor simply can't tell the truth. He showed his colors last year, and nothing has changed.
