History

The city manager form of government dates back to September 1, 1922. Three councilors were elected that year followed by two more in 1923. [1] Prior to that, Charlottesville had a strong-mayor form of government with a bicameral legislature consisting of a Board of Alderman and a Common Council. [2]

However the position of city manager was created in 1913. [3]

Gary O'Connell stepped down as city manager in April 2010. After a search, three finalists were named including Jones. The other two candidates are East Providence Rhode Island City Manager Richard Brown and Columbia Missouri Assistant City Manager Paula Hertwig Hopkins[4].
