Century To Consider Creating Town Administrator Position
March 3, 2025
This week, the Town of Century will consider hiring town administrator.
According to a council agenda, the town administrator “would serve as the sole professional administrative officer assisting the mayor with municipal operations, personnel management, and financial oversight”. The position’s duties would also include the financial oversight responsibilities typically assigned to a financial services director—”ensuring budget preparation, fiscal accountability, grant management, and procurement compliance”.
The town administrator would report directly to the mayor, but also provide regular updates to the town council while taking direction from the council and mayor. The person, according to a proposed ordinance creating the new position, could be a contract employee, a regular employee or a company.
A salary for position, if approved, has not yet been discussed by the town council, which will discuss creating the position at their regular council meeting Tuesday evening.

The entire population of Century can’t be any more than the Kings Road and Magnolia Lake Estates subdivisions combined. Yet, they just keep spending money, hiring and paying people, then complain about a lack of funds. How can a population of only 1,758 support all of this? It’s insane!
And when the grants dry up, what will there be to do?
A contract grant manager would be better. Kinda like what Debbie Nickles used to do.
Let the Boutwell counter revolution cancel this crony
position.
Make Century Great Again Ben!
So rush this through before Ben Boutwell is sworn in as mayor, then hired some of Brown’s South Florida people? They’ve never had an administrator. What would hurt to wait until Ben takes office and see what he wants….unless you are getting a job for your cronies. This stinks of impropriety.
