Motion to hire James Coats fails at County Commission Meeting WCJB Staff GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - and receive news straight to your email every morning. The motion to hire businessman James Coats as the new Economic Development Coordinator failed Tuesday at the County Commission meeting. Coats is the CEO of Phalanx Defense Systems in Gainesville. Twenty-five candidates were referred, and further screening took place. Ten years of economic development experience was one of the criteria that helped narrow the list. County Commissioner Anna Prizzia doubted the transparency and equity of the hiring process, saying, “We had a diverse pool, I asked for the full pool and we had almost half women and almost half BIPOC candidates apply for the job. And yet we only interviewed five white people. And we’re giving the job to someone that does not have the requisite experience.”
