David Murphy has been hired
as the interim city manager in
Wayne.
Last week, members of the
Wayne City Council voted unani-
mously to offer the job, which
could last for as long as six
months, to Murphy, a former city
manager inSouthLyon.
Murphy's contract was termi-
nated by the South Lyon City
Council Oct. 28, 2013 and he
received six months full pay and
benefits as part of that severance
package, according to minutes of
the South Lyon City Council
meeting. Murphy and candidate
David Mackie, the current
deputy mayor in Taylor, were
interviewed for the job earlier
thismonth.
“I feel we had two good candi-
dates. I thought David Mackie
showed great qualities,” said
Councilman David James. “The
budget he manages (in Taylor) is
three times what we have here.
He's currently in Wayne County.
He knowswhat we need.”
Councilwoman Susan Rowe
agreed that both Mackie and
Murphy were strong candidates
but she felt Murphy was more
suited to the needs ofWayne.
“He has prepared several city
budgets. Mr. Mackie is well quali-
fied but said he has never pre-
pared a budget,” said Rowe. “Mr.
Murphy can step right in after he
passes his background check.”
Since the abrupt resignation
of former City Manager Joseph
Merucci last month, Police Chief
Jason Wright has been acting as
city manager. That arrangement
will end with the Oct. 17 retire-
ment of Wright, a 21-year veteran
of the department. Since July, all
but one Wayne department head
has retired or resigned leaving
only Matt Miller, the city
clerk/building department head
in place. Long-time Mayor Al
Haidous will leave office in
January to become the 11th
District
Wayne
County
Commissioner.
Wayne officials continue to
struggle with a $500,000 budget
deficit and a deficit of about $1.5
million is predicted for the next
budget cycle.
Murphy told the council mem-
bers during the job interview
that he would be able to provide
recommendations regarding the
budget problems after a month
on the job. He worked in South
Lyon for more than five years
and also worked in Almont, Caro
and Brighton along with interim
positions in Franklin and
HuntingtonWoods.
