The Clarendon City Council continues to narrow its search for the next city administrator following interviews conducted last Thursday, January 26.
Meeting at Clarendon College’s Bairfield Activity Center, the council conducted virtual interviews with Brian Barboza – City Administrator at Knox City; Fred Ventresco – Town Administrator at Pine Tops, North Carolina; and Vance Lipsey – former Town Manager at Lake City, Colorado. The council also met in person with Terry Schilz – a District Manager for Southern Methodist University, who lives in Azle, Texas.
The council met again in called session Monday night and agreed to bring Barbosa and Lipsey to Clarendon for in-person interviews at City Hall this Thursday, February 2, starting at 1 p.m.
Aldermen also agreed Monday night to hold a second virtual interview with Ventresco. That interview is scheduled to be held February 9 at the Bairfield Activity Center.
Dockery announced last spring his desire to retire as city administrator this April.
