Search begins anew for manager

OCEAN CITY — (July 24, 2015) As of Monday night, now-former City Manager David Recor left behind a thorough strategic plan, a slightly damaged Chevy Tahoe, and a number of loose ends.

And, as of Monday night, Mayor Rick Meehan has found himself with an unexpected new job title for the second time in less than four years.

“Nobody is more surprised than me,” Meehan said Monday night. “You could say I’m disappointed. I thought we were moving in a good direction. I did not expect this to happen a second time in my tenure, but here we are.”

Per the city’s charter, the mayor assumes the duties of city manager if the position is vacant. While the council can appoint a new city manager –either permanent or interim – at any time, it is also free to leave the post vacant, and have Meehan fill-in as needed.
