Albany Utility Board Says No to City Manager Utility Approval Proposal
Tuesday, October 20th, 2015
The Albany Utility Board threw a symbolic monkey wrench into City Manager Sharon Subadan’s proposal to allow her to sign off on certain utility projects without Utility Board or Albany City Commission authorization at a special called meeting Monday afternoon.
The request to allow for city manager authorization, under state contract, of utilities projects up to $100,000 without consent of the two governing bodies surprisingly died for lack of a second. Board member Bob Hutchinson made a motion to accept the proposal, but neither Judith Corbett nor the Rev. Gary Sanders offered a second to that motion.
