Interim City Manager Wayne G. "Ted" Reed met with the Daily Local News this week to discuss his goals for the city.

One of his goals is to build relationships internally and externally. He would also like to see the administration and City Council function together as a team.

On a side note, he explained how he got the nickname Ted. He said his father wanted to call him "Teddy" but his mother did not like the name Theodore. As a result, his parents decided his first name would be Wayne, after his father's best friend. And his middle initial, "G," stands for Gill, which is his mother's maiden name.
