Welcome back Vince, but why?

Posted in: PATA
Glad to have you back Vince but what's in the wind? Mantia actively goes out to bring you back at $20k less just as the new guy has barely warmed his seat. I wonder what's up?

From Ptown This Week:

The Pickerington Board of Education voted Monday to rehire the district?’s former treasurer just a month after he resigned.

Vince Utterback will become the district?’s business and facilities manager starting Aug. 1. In March, he announced his resignation as the district?’s treasurer to become director of business affairs and operations for Kent State University.

Superintendent Karen Mantia told the board she sought out Utterback for the post.

?“He has a lot of experience, he holds a business manager?’s license and he has wonderful experience,?” Mantia said. ?“The most important thing is he can walk right in the door and understand where Pickerington has been and where we need to go.?”

Utterback spent 14 years with the school district, starting as assistant treasurer. As treasurer, he was to be paid $87,000, plus $17,000 a year into an annuity, in 2008.

In his new position, he will earn $84,872 a year. The board approved a contract through July 31, 2010.

According to district spokeswoman Amanda Morris, Utterback will not receive any kind of annuity or extra compensation beyond his salary as business manager.

I agree

This makes NO SENSE whatsoever. Not unless he lost the Kent job in less than a month!
Can't believe he got booted

Can't say I ever heard of a public employee ever getting the boot that quick. And Vince is a standup guy so I'd be absolutely amazed if that was it.

I know

But something about this stinks to high-heaven.

He's a financial guy and coming back to a different job effectively making $20K less annually in less than a month after resigning?
