hiring isues in question

Mr. Giglio was not the focus of Dotsons anger at the last meeting. He said he doesnt even know the man. Dotson was MUCH more upset with the shoody, careless, and unprofessional manner displayed by the City Manager in the HIRING PROCESS. All of the background checks and character reference SHOULD have been done and verified long before he was hired. If there were problems doing that, the Council should have been notified. They werent, until Mr Dotson demanded that information. Apparently the City Manager was warned ahead of time about potential problems with that resume and other concerns, but chose to ignore the warnings from Dotson and proceeded to put him on the payroll. This is not an indictment of Mr Giglio. It is a warning to the City Manager from Mr Dotson that ignoring warnings and just doing as he wants and desires will NOT be tolerated in the future! It damages the credibility and reputation of the Council AND the City Manager, and CANNOT be tolerated. Period. The troubling issue is with the City Manager, not Mr Giglio, because nobody seems to know exactly WHAT happened and what didnt happen there. We DO know what DIDNT happen in his hiring! It is to Dotsons credit that he confronted the City Manager and these hiring issues in Council session.
