DOTHAN:   It is now time for the Mayor and Commissioners to "love" thump Dothan City Manager in the noggin!

In April 2013 Dothan’s Information Technology Director Tim Stewart retired.

To date, November 18, 2015, and after accepting applications twice ( last time this past January 2015- almost 12 months ago ), Dothan City Manager Mike West has yet to hire a Director.

Since April 2013 Rob Meredith has been "acting" IT Director. That is difficult for Meredith, in that, when someone is hired he will return to an "equal" with his co-workers. So how do you effectively manage and discipline when you will return to an equal?

Well, at the rate it is going though, Meredith might remain "acting" until his 25 years is up and retires.

With the rate of changing technology, the growth of the City of Dothan, the amount of money that is spent each month on technology, a permanent department head is needed. And for that to happen, the Mayor and Commissioners ( Hey BETH! that means you ) need to give that good solid love T H U M P!

Technology is something to stay on top of.
