From The Charlotte GazetteThe Town of Charlotte Court House is trying something different. When their longtime clerk decided to retire after more than 20 years, the council didn’t fill the position. They changed it instead, creating an opening for a town manager.
“Things are a bit more complex than they used to be,” Charlotte Court House Mayor David Watkins said. “Over the last few years especially, we have been finding out there are so many other duties involved with running a town than what a clerk handles. Since our clerk was looking to retire, the council decided now was a good time to hire a town manager.”
