can be tense and at times we are not always happy with the way the Town Manager
handles citizen issues. Performance in these areas was fair.
The Town Manager's strongest trait is his relationships with other town administrative
leaders. He is well respected within the community of Town Managers. This 1S evident
by his active involvement with CCM.
