Deputy city manager no longer 'interim'
BY RICHELLE THOMPSON

LEBANON — On Thursday, C. Ed Patterson can take the “interim” off his job title as deputy city manager.
James Patrick, Lebanon's city manager, said Tuesday he asked Mr. Patterson “to stay on in that position as we put everything together.”
Mr. Patrick, who started less than a month ago, said he was still developing a job de scription for the deputy position. Mr. Patrick said he had not decided whether he would then solicit applications or keep Mr. Patterson permanently.
Meanwhile, Mr. Patterson will handle daily operations.
The decision upset downtown business owner Joan Townsend, who has criticized some of council's actions since Mr. Patterson took the helm.
“I am disappointed that the city hasn't decided to look for someone with more experience in city government and some one more removed from politics as usual,” she said.
Mr. Patterson, a former mayor who resigned his position with a development company, did not return calls.
He was hired in December as a bridge between former City Manager Richard Hayward,who was resigning, and a new manager. Mr. Patterson said then he did not plan to keep the job. In fact, his contract said the interim position would be eliminated 30 days after a manager was hired.
