Four finalists named for County Administrator’s job


web posted October 1, 2009
COUNTY – The Edgefield County Council released a list of finalists for the County Administrator’s job Wednesday night after an executive session meeting. County Attorney Michael Medlock emerged after the closed door meeting to say there were four finalists rather than three, “but we’re going to release the names anyway.” Of the four finalists, only one has local connections. None of the candidates seem to come to the table without issues.

The list of the four finalists is: Edward L. Sealover of Fernandina Beach Florida; Hal Mason of Garner North Carolina; John C. Brumbaugh of Aiken, South Carolina; and Alton Brown of Cleveland, Georgia.

John C. Brumbaugh is the local candidate and is listed as a current Board member at the private school Wardlaw Academy and the Golf Coach, according to their website. Searches conducted Wednesday evening do not show Mr. Brumbaugh to have any governmental administration experience. He appears to work in the private sector in the staffing industry according to online articles.

Edward L. Sealover, of Florida, shows at least six city or county administration positions in the last ten years. It appears there could be more, but dates of some articles available online were inconclusive to possible time overlaps. This places at least six jobs in ten years at an average term of a year and a half at each job.

Hal Mason, of Garner, North Carolina, was city administrator of Hanahan, S.C., near Charleston from 2005 until February of this year. For the seven years before that he was assistant administrator of Shelby, N.C. Mason has a Master of Urban Affairs degree from Virginia Polytech Institute and State University and also served as director of the Shelby Economic Development Commission from 1979 until 1998, according to the IndependentMail.com.

Mason is also, according to the same article, one of the finalist as county administrator for Oconee County, a much larger and higher paying position.

Alton Brown, of Cleveland, Georgia, was arrested by Cleveland police on charges of DUI with refusal to take a BAC test and open container at 1:30 a.m. Saturday, July 11, on Quillian Street in Cleveland. He was suspended with pay during the ongoing investigation. There have been no records to show he has been convicted of the charges to date.

Mr. Medlock said he would be setting up the interviews to have two candidates interviewed on two consecutive days by the county council later this month.
