City Council Reverses Course on City Manager Position

At a Special Meeting of the City of Shoreacres City Council on Thursday, August 28, 2025, called by Mayor Jennings, the Council reversed its previous selection for City Manager. It declined to enter into an Agreement for Professional Services and Employment as City Manager with Walter Gant, III.

The meeting was well-attended, and the Council heard from many residents who were passionate about the months-long process of selecting Mr. Gant. The vote to enter into the Agreement failed on a 1-aye, 4-nay vote. You may view the video on Youtube.

Democracy isn’t always neat and pretty, but it remains the best form of government.

I am thankful to those residents who chose to be involved and grateful to the council for their due diligence.

Mayor Jennings
