Rager on the job...for now
Cincinnati's interim city manager, David E. Rager, will remain on the job until a replacement is found. Mayor Mark Mallory gave Rager an extension Tuesday, until the city finds a permanent manager.
Feb. 6 is the deadline for resumes to be submitted for the position, which pays $191,000. Mallory said he hopes a short list of candidates will be ready for council by the end of February.

Post a Comment*He's doing a great job. We would be lucky to keep him on board.
Interim City Manager David Rager has made it a practice of using Water Works Funds to finance other City Department projects and services while performing his duties as the Water Works Director for the past eleven years. This practice is in direct violation of Article IV (Section 9) of the City Charter.
Some examples of Water Works Funds being used to finance other City Departments are listed as follows:
1. The Water Works sometimes incorporates Cincinnati street rehabilitation projects into it’s own water main installation projects, thus using Water Works Funds to finance the City’s Department of Transportation and Engineering Street Rehabilitation
Program. This is a huge monetary misuse of Water Works Funds.
2. The funding, by the use of materials and labor, for the construction of outdoor structures in Eden Park for the City’s Parks Department.
3. The funding, by the use of materials and labor, for sreetscape Projects under the jurisdiction of the City’s Economic Development Department. The total cost was approximately $20,000.00.
It is imperative that someone investigate Mr. David Rager’s past practices of using Water Works Funds to finance other City Department projects and services.
We agree that the water works can't use it's money for general fund activties.
The Greater Cincinnati Water Works has been a municipally owned and operated utility since it was purchased by the City of Cincinnati in 1839. We believe the future mission of this city owned organization whose revenues are over 90 million dollars year is to be sold.
The net profits should go to housing in the city, supporting business development, public saftey and health along with improving public infrastructure so that it is the residents of the city who it will be helping first.
After that we like the rest of the region will share in the cost of the water we drink.
Interim City Manager David Rager exposed his typical mind set when he tried to cover up and shield the truth about Christine Wells(City staffer who was paid but didn't work). First,he starts a criminal investigation against Mrs. Wells instead of investigating the City Department Heads who managed the Wells fiasco. Second, he then places a gag order on Mr.Daryl Brock(Mrs.Wells former supervisor)from speaking to the WCPO I-Team reporter.
