TOWN COUNCIL MAKES IT OFFICIAL

The Indian Trail Town Council on August 8th made it official. They are now a Town Manager/Council form of government. Due to the hiring of a town manager it was unclear if IT operated under a town manager/council form of government or a mayor/council form of government. Upon further investigation it seemed that at least for the last 10 years (John Munn era) they (council) considered themselves a Town Manager/Council form of government. The charter for the town was not clear and so the decision was made to formalize the decision. They were unanomous 5-0 with Mayor Moore also stating that she was in agreement also. A few citizens questioned why this move was needed. The reality is that the precedence had been set 10 years previously. Though the town manager was a part-time position (soon to be full time with the next hire) he ran the day to day operations of the town and staff. Ultimately, this was right for the town, the staff, and the organization of IT government.
