Elkton delays town manager search amid budget push
Elkton heads into budget season without a town manager as council considers next steps. Mayor Wayne Printz says duties handled by the acting town manager while departments prepare for potential staffing changes. The town must approve a budget by June 30, with the June 30 deadline shaping hiring decisions. Former manager Kevin Whitfield resigned January 25 and set a March 31 departure, but was dismissed February 5. Printz indicated the town would advertise for the position in the near future, though emphasis remains on current priorities.
