The city council of West Melbourne, Fla., interviewed Anderson City Manager Scott Morgan and five other finalist candidates Tuesday, May 27, following a 4:30 p.m. “Meet and Greet,” FloridayToday.com reported later that same evening.
The job pays between $80,589 and $120,884 annually, reported Susanne Cervenka of Florida Today, a Web site for seven local newspapers serving the Treasure Coast communities of east-central Florida.
A total of 87 applicants initially sought the city manager position in West Melbourne. That pool has been whittled down to six finalists, Cervenka reported late Tuesday via her blog.
Morgan, 52, has said previously that he would like to move his family to Florida to be closer to his wife’s elderly parents who live outside of Orlando.
The Morgan family of four left Shasta County late last week on a vacation and job hunting trip in central Florida that is expected to last through the remainder of this week, Morgan told the Valley Post prior to his departure.
Last August, following a family vacation in Florida, Morgan hired a recruiter who then placed Morgan’s name in contention for the job of city manager in Ormond Beach, a suburb of Daytona Beach. With a population of 40,000, Ormond Beach was nearly four times the size of Anderson.
Morgan, who is in his 12th year as city manager in Anderson, finished in second place for Ormond Beach’s top administrative position.
West Melbourne, in Brevard County, had a population in July 2007 of 15,175. It is located 60 miles east-southeast of Orlando and just north of Palm Bay, midway down the eastern coastline of Florida.
