Century Hiring Town Manager, Town Clerk And Three Other Positions
November 16, 2021
The Town of Century is accepting applications for multiple positions, including a town manager and a town clerk.
Under the town’s charter, the mayor must recommend new hires to the council, which makes the final hiring decisions. Monday was the last scheduled council meeting until December 20, prompting Council President Luis Gomez to call a special meeting for November 30 to speed the hiring process.
“We’re not going into 2022 juggling employees or applicants to try to fill these jobs. When January 1 rolls in I want a great team in place,” Gomez said Monday night.

Applications close November 18 for a town clerk and an administrative clerk.
Applications close November 24 for multiple positions:
- Town manager with a salary negotiable based upon experience. As of Monday, 10 people had applied for the town manager job.
- Service worker with salary based upon experience
- Wastewater or water operator or trainee with a starting salary of $15 per hour for licensed operators or $13 per hour for trainees.
Interim Town Manager Vernon Prather has notified Century that he is leaving when his contract ends December 1, saying that he has decided to fully retire. Town Clerk Kim Godwin is no longer full time, notifying the mayor that she is now going to nursing school. She cut her hours to at least 25 per week, the minimum number needed to keep her benefits. And Assistant Town Clerk Emily Easterling recently resigned.

Somebody needs to wake this sleepy town up!
And soon, very soon
@ Connie
or maybe they already have the person hired or in mind so need to list the job. Not the first time they hired without posting the job
I believe in change and hopefully things can get better for Century. I wanted to apply for Town Clerk but I cannot get the application, it shows no job openings. Hopefully this will be corrected.
RD & Oversight…. 100% agree….. Century is such a joke that I don’t even live in the area any more but just can’t wait everyday to see what other CIRCUS emerges out of that blight of a city!
Seems like we been here before.
Just adding to the hysteria and confusion of a disfunctional city.
Where else in town can an employee say “I’m only willing to work25 hours now so I can keep my benefits and when I get done with nursing school I am dropping you like a bad habit”?
Century is a joke. A certified water operator for $15/hr? Good luck with that. LOL! And I hear Henry H. is on the short list for town manager’s position too. WHAAA HAAAA! All the work Prather put into the town is about to end up in the wastewater treatment plant. That’s right – going right down the commode!
