It described what was expected from the county manager.” said Nalley. Nalley lives in Thomas ton. He commutes to Perry daily. When Nalley was hired as Perry’s city manag er, he planned on moving his family to the city when his daughter graduated from high school. However, a series of personal crisises occurred. Among the problems moving Nalley cited were the fact his house did not sell, his family could not find a house they wanted, and extensive illness in his family. “The council expects the city manager to live inside the city.
