On Thursday, March 13, the five finalists will meet separately with individual commissioners in their offices prior to public interviews with the full board at 1 p.m. A second special board meeting will be held on March 14 at 9 a.m. to pick a new top boss for the county if one is not named on March 13.

The five finalists for Escambia County administrator, as recommended by a citizens advisory committee, are:

Jack Brown — Perry, FL. County Administrator, Taylor County BOCC.
Ted Lakey — Graceville, FL. County Administrator, Jackson County BOCC.
Albert Penska — Gettysburg, PA. County Manager, Adams County.
William Reynolds — Pensacola. Former City Administrator, City of Pensacola.
John Weaver — Murrells Inlet, SC. Attorney, Thomas & Brittain

One name not on the list but has been mentioned around town is Interim County Administrator Larry Newsom. It’s possible that one of the commissioners may nominate Newsom for the position and, thereby, reject all five finalists sent to the board by the advisory committee.
