BANGOR – City councilors have selected three finalists to interview in person for Bangor’s top administrative position, which has been vacant since longtime City Manager Ed Barrett stepped down late last year.
Council Chairman Richard Stone declined this week to release the names of the finalists and is not required to do so under Maine’s Freedom of Access laws. “They are all good candidates; I guess they wouldn’t be finalists if they weren’t,” he said.
All nine councilors, along with representatives from a recruitment firm the city hired, have been involved in the search for a new city manager, which has lasted more than six months. The council weeded through dozens of applicants and recently conducted interviews using Skype, an online video- and teleconferencing tool, with eight candidates before settling on the three finalists.
“The process has been great. We were able to find out some significant pieces of the puzzle using Skype,” Councilor Cary Weston said. “It allowed us to see dimensions of personality that you can’t see on paper, and it saved money.”
Stone said each finalist would be in Bangor in August for in- person interviews, after which councilors will sit down and make a decision. By municipal charter, the City Council oversees the contracts of four positions: city manager, city solicitor, city clerk and city assessor.
Last October, Barrett ended a 22-year run as Bangor’s city manager by announcing his retirement – 18 months before his contract was up – as part of a negotiated agreement with city councilors.
Councilors cited a new direction when explaining their decision to part ways with Barrett. The council’s decision was criticized by some members of the public and prompted one councilor to request that the council reconsider the decision
