Hiring a Professional Manager |
|
|
|
|
Hiring a professional manager, appointed by the local government's governing body, is a trend on the rise in local government given the expansion of the responsibilities of communities, the demands on governing bodies and the need for technical competence in the management of the operation and delivery of services. Today's elected community leaders can better fulfill their legislative or policy-making roles and maintain their overall control of service delivery by delegating the day-to-day management of the local government to an appointed professional administrator. Employing a professional manager or administrator frees elected officials from the administration of daily operations and gives them time to focus on the policy issues that guide the future of the community. For a list of Ohio communities with the Council-Manager form and the steps to take to create a charter commission, see the OCMA website link under Documents/Resources for Communities.
