Cities Seek New Kentucky League Of Cities Executives
KENTUCKY....
Legislation is moving through the General Assembly that requires the Kentucky League of Cities and the Kentucky Association of Counties to be more transparent. Letters have been sent to the Kentucky League of Cities demanding a change in leadership. Some city councils say they're unhappy with a move within the executive board to keep Deputy Director Neil Hackworth and Insurance Services Chief William Hamilton in the two top spots. In December, an audit from State Auditor Crit Luallen strongly criticized Hackworth and Hamilton for excessive spending and perks. On Thursday, the executive board chose the Mercer Group of Santa Fe, N.M., as its official search firm to find an executive director over the next three to four months. The company will be paid $16,500 for the work, plus expenses not to exceed $8,000.
