Yes, there’s an extra City Council meeting this week. They’ll vote to “authorize the Mayor to initiate negotiations with City Manager Edward M. Augustus, Jr. for a long term extension of his contract as City Manager.”
At the September 16 meeting, it was clear that there wasn’t a majority of Counselors willing to vote for any of the 3 finalists in the nationwide search held this summer. Whereas most or all Counselors liked the idea of Ed Augustus continuing with the job.
