Who'll choose next CATS (Charlotte Area Transit System) chief? The four-member selection panel will consist of Charlotte City Manager Curt Walton, County Manager Harry Jones, , Matthews Town Manager Hazen Blodgett and Davidson Mayor John Woods (named by Charlotte Mayor and Metropolitan Transit Commission chair Pat McCrory).
According to a memo from Jones:
"The four members of the selection panel have conferred and agreed to move forward with the recruitment process as follows. Advertisements will be posted electronically with all national transit-related organizations, with a closing date of September 25, 2009. A profile of the Chief Transit Official position, updated during the 2007 recruitment process, will be subjected to a series of focus groups for input. The profile also will be posted on the city/county website for additional public input. The process is designed to name a new CATS CEO by November 30, 2009."
Jones' memo also notes that in 2015 Charlotte will host the national convention of the National Association of Counties. Hmmmm. Whole lotta politicians will be treading our sidewalks. (Lock up the silverware?) But Charlotte hosted the event in 2000 and no mass outbreaks of oratory or political skullduggery were reported.

We're doomed.
Who cares????????
And you wonder why readership is declining?
Well they really need to clean up the cats service and some of the ppl that rides the bus should not come on there if they're not properly dressed..Plus they need to stop canceling the routes which causes issues for ppl getting to work and also the reason why they are declining in ridership is cause they do not check for tickets when ppl ride the light rail
I guess they thought we citizens were too busy to volunteer for this August Body.
I just hope we get somebody as dedicated at the last guy, what was his name, you know the guy after Tober?
Hey what not put me on this committee? I was on the Citizen Transit Committee under Tober and a bit of time under that last guy after Tober... Oh yeah the guy with no experience other than he was already one of the cronies with the gov.

How many public input sessions are being held?
I went to a meeting about the North Corridor last week where Mr Muth - the interim guy - spoke for and hour or so without giving the public any real information - making him perfect for a government leadership position.
It wasn't until we got to ask some questions as an audience that some actual info got out - to the chagrin of Mr Muth and Mayor Swain.
