At the December 4 City Commission meeting, John Lawton was asked and agreed to remain on board for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition with the new city manager:
"Mayor Stebbins stated that, since the selection process for the City Manager has become a month or two behind, she thought the Commission should consider asking Mr. Lawton if he will stay on to ensure a smooth transition. Commissioner Beecher agreed and stated it makes sense for the transition to a new manager. Commissioners Hinz and Jovick-Kuntz also agreed. Mr. Lawton stated he would be willing to do that for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition".

Mr. Lawton gave no reason as to why he was leaving early after agreeing to remain on to "ensure a smooth transition".
Do you suppose the announcement that RUS scuttled funding to SME had something to do with it? Maybe, but I can't help thinking there may be more to it.
There is more to running this city than just keeping up with ECP, SME and HGS. Isn't there?
