Pat Salerno, who backed out of a commitment to be Wichita’s city manager in July, is one of five finalists vying for the city manager post in Deltona, Fla., The Daytona Beach News Journal is reporting today. Salerno first appeared as a candidate in the city of 84,000 in August, but he has since been put on the short list. (See our previous post.)
This defies some thinking among Wichitans who said Salerno’s career in city management would likely be doomed by backing out of his contract here and, in doing so, breaking one of the ethical guidelines of the International City/County Management Association. Time will tell.

Better Deltona than Us.
Evidently backing out of a job in Wichita is not doom for a city manager career.
