As per the town code, when the town manager is absent, the town clerk becomes the acting town manager.
So, when Usama Abujbarah was terminated and swept to the sidelines during his 90-day notice, Town Clerk Carrie Dyrek (l) became the acting town manager.
During last week’s council meeting, council discussed the possibility of hiring Vice Mayor Adam Trenk’s pick, Rodney Glassman as acting town manager for the purpose of facilitating the hiring of a permanent town manager.
Glassman is a politician, who resigned during his first term as a Tucson City Councilman in order to run as Sen. John McCain’s Democrat opponent in 2010, with scant business experience other than running his family-owned skating rink while attending U of A and a 13-month stint with Waste Management, selling the idea of privatizing trash services to government.
