Had a similar case happen in Tampa Bay, FL area. Prospective City Manager, informed City Commission that he is a NCAA D1 and Arena Football official. The commission were OK with this information and hired him.
Several months pass and nothing is said or done about the CM leaving on Friday afternoon to travel to an out of state game. Then he gets an invite to work some exhibition games in Japan. Somehow this information gets leaked to the local newspaper and they make a big stink as to the CM spending less than full time at work, no one (commissioners and/or department heads) can't reach him, and he using his accrued time while on non-business related trips.
The commission didn't squelch the information nor did they defend him.
Bottom Line - He quit. We lost a good city manager and friend.
