Moore Rejects Century Town Clerk Job, Will Remain Flomaton Clerk
September 26, 2024
Just a week after being appointed as the town of Century’s clerk, Carrie Moore has reversed her decision and will remain in her current position as the town clerk for Flomaton.
On September 17, the Century Town Council voted unanimously to approve a recommendation from Mayor Luis Gomez, Jr. to hire Carrie Moore as Century town clerk. The position has been vacant since Leslie Howington took a leave of absence in mid-April before resigning in May for medical reasons.
“We have been weighing our options for a few months now,” Gomez said before the affirmative vote. “We had several applications in which I thoroughly vetted them along with my team, and we had one standout. Her name is Carrie Moore.”
At the time, Gomez stated that Moore would start in three weeks.
But now Moore has changed her mind and decided that she will remain town clerk in Flomaton.
“I’m happy she is staying,” Flomaton Mayor Jim Johnson said Wednesday night. “I’m glad to have her as we work hard to promote Flomaton and move Flomaton forward.”
Moore has served as town clerk in Flomaton for the last three years. She previously worked with the City of Evergreen beginning in 2017 until her hiring in Flomaton in 2021.
There’s no word yet on how Century will move forward with the search for another town clerk. As salary range set back in May of $71,000 to $91,000.

Maybe she is not as stupid as we was thinking
Century’s loss, judging by her decision, she is very intelligent.
She woke up to reality in Century!!!
Good call, better the devil you know than to step into this mess of a “town.”
I believe that she has made a wise choice.
I assume salary demands have been met, so good for her.
I could care less how Alabama waste its money but my guess is Flomaton has about as much chance of being a successful city as Century does. They don’t have enough residents needed to operate between the two of them.
Opinions are like something else, everyone has one. But I believe this might be the best decision of your career so far.
Best of luck to you Ms.Moore.
Is this the common pay for a town clerk? Seems excessively high especially with all of the financial issues Century already has. Smart lady to stay where she is.
Good call!!!! You didn’t want to get wrapped up in that mess. Others before you have dug the ruts deep!!!! Excellent decision ma’am. Pat on the back to those who advised you not to go.
Ms. Moore, surely this was a tough decision for you and we feel you made the correct choice.
Please know that comments made about working for the Town of Century were in no manner about you. They were, are, about the obvious long-time mismanagement of We the People’s Tax Monies and how sketchy it must be for many.
Wishing you the Very Best in Flomation and wherever your career may take you.
