Coffee Break: Finalist for CCC presidency withdraws
San Jose, Calif., chief development officer Paul L. Krutko Jr. has withdrawn from consideration for Center City Commission president and CEO.
Krutko’s withdrawal leaves seven candidates, including four Memphians, scheduled for interviews Monday and Tuesday with a search committee seeking a successor to Jeff Sanford.
The search committee had deliberated Tuesday about whether to invite Krutko to an interview because there were indications that his salary requirement would be more than the position pays, currently $155,000 a year.
His exit leaves out-of-town candidates Scott Adams, chief urban redevelopment officer, Las Vegas; Thomas C. Chatmon Jr., executive director of Orlando’s Downtown Development Board/Community Redevelopment Agency; and Frank W. Robinson, town manager, Apple Valley, Calif.
Memphians seeking the job are Andy L. Kitsinger, Center City Commission senior vice president, planning and development; City Councilman Myron Lowery; Shelby Farms Park Conservancy executive director Rick Masson; and lawyer Paul Morris, shareholder with Martin, Tate, Morrow & Marston attorneys.
MPO seeks public’s ideas
The organization that plans the major roads, transit facilities and bike and walking trails for the Memphis area will seek the public’s ideas next week for what the area should look like by 2035.
The Metropolitan Planning Organization will even show a land-use model projecting what our area will be like if “business as usual” development continues.
The meetings are: 6:30-8 p.m. Monday at Hernando City Hall, 475 W. Commerce; 6-7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Bert Ferguson Center, 8505 Trinity Road in Cordova; 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library, 3030 Poplar, Memphis; and 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday at Gallaway City Hall, 607 Watson.
River Workout expands
Memphis fitness junkies, pick your river: the Mississippi or the Wolf.
Workout instructor and trainer Stacy Chick has expanded her River Workout series to another location just a bit upstream.
Chick has hosted her popular River Workouts for four years at Mud Island’s Greenbelt Park, close to the confluence of the Wolf and Mississippi rivers.
She now offers classes at the Wolf’s edge in Germantown just a few feet away from the door of the new Breakaway Running store at 1223 S. Germantown Pkwy.
The classes meet every Saturday at 10 a.m. on the Wolf River Trail. The Downtown classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:45 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. They also meet on Saturdays at 8 a.m.

The Tennessee Biotech Association said Ironwood Pharmaceuticals founder and chairman Joseph C. Cook Jr. has been elected to its board of directors.
