Responsible Growth for Northcross (RG4N), dissatisfied and disheartened by what the group sees as city management's failure to appropriately respond to neighborhood priorities for redeveloping Northcross, has publicly called into question the performance of City Manager Toby Futrell. RG4N supports a recent council resolution to form a charter review committee – because it sees a charter review as an opportunity for public dialogue about the City's Council-manager form of government. (The mayor and council appoint the city manager, who serves as chief administrator of the entire city organization; the position has far-reaching powers.) RG4N also is weighing in on council's upcoming review of Futrell's performance and compensation. Based on issues raised by the Northcross conflict, said RG4N's Hope Morrison, "We don't believe the city manager's performance merits a raise."
