Dublin can have him back for all I care. Tim did nothing of merit that I can see in Pickerington. Try getting someone to come out and investigate a run down property in Pickerington. You'll die of old age before that happens. Tim hired some old fool as the Code Enforecement officer and the guy never leaves City Hall! Take a drive around town and see the shambles of houses for yourself.
Now I'm hearing that several of his staff was being investigated for "inappropriate behavior" while at work and Tim did nothing about it.
So long Tim... don't come back.

Tim Hansley is one of the top city managers in Central Ohio. If he's not appreciated in Pickerington, there are many communities who will want to benefit from his many skills.

A “stubborn streak”---you mean like his 14 years successfully working with Dublin and NW area officials before coming here???
I would agree with Observer, that sounds like dedication to a goal, I’d take that stubborn streak.
And I wouldn’t say Fix was grandstanding, I would say he was communicating with the community and explaining his voting rational. Interesting how you turn that around. What color is the sky in your world?

Fix is right...seems like Hansley's firing had little to do with his performance. Not very just if you ask me! Interesting that the Mayor had the deciding vote. Sounds like the Mayor actually had a personal issue with Hansley and used his position to arrange for Hansley's dismissal. Sounds fishy and I hope City Council will work to rectify the situation. Do we need a Mayor who puts personal agendas ahead of the needs of the City?! Why is it that no one who voted for his firing will reveal the actual details/reasons behind the dismissal? Hmmmm...

Chung Lee say difference between Tim and council, Tim can do their job! Picktown quickly becoming Reynoldsburg south.

First lets think about this.
If anyone thinks 4 members of City council and the mayor would let Mr Hansley go over two code enforcement issues I have some oceanfront property in Montana to sell you.
Come on, Jeff Fix? What has he done but try to sell the city down the road time and time again. Just pull up the minutes of any committee he has sat on or the minutes of Council meetings and see for yourself.
Jeff needed to get his name in print and try to look like the Knight in shining armour before the election. It will all come out in the wash.

Executive session is another term for not for you to know, back door politics. Council hired him, council hired him at the pay rate he received. The council and mayor work for you and answer to you the people. If he was doing a bad job we need to know that, and if he was doing a good job we need to know. This back door executive session is exactly how those politications make it to the top and no one knew what he/she was really about. An employer has the right to know you credit score, have a back ground check, and know why you were fired at your last job. The council and Mayor are hired by the people, work for the people and are paid by the people. The city workers are paid by the people. We the People have the right to know.

Why would you call his 13 years in Dublin "successful" when they FIRED him. Please don't drink the Fix kool-aid, he IS grandstanding for the election, its the only thing he has to offer. Jeff Tax (Fix) and Christie Hammond both still very much want to double our income tax. Hansley couldn't wait to get his hands on it. They are about their own power, not serving the residents.
I certainly hope other residents wise up like I have about Jeff Tax (Fix) and Christie Hammond. The sky in our world is now clearing. We can see right through all of these out of town comments coming in favor of Hansley. He sure has worked at enough places and he is the "bureaucrats best friend".
