The City of Estevan is continuing its search for a new city manager.
Following Monday's regular meeting of city council, Mayor Roy Ludwig said the City has hired a head hunter from Toronto who has been busy collecting resumes and is expected to provide council with a list of candidates in the near future.
"He told me a couple days ago that he will have a list for council to go over and review with intention of having interviews once we have the shortlist, with, optimistically, having someone in place in January," Ludwig said.
As for the past city manager, Jim Puffalt, Ludwig said lawyers for both parties are ironing out the final details on his settlement. Council dismissed Puffalt in October after more than 12 years on the job.
Ludwig said the details of the settlement, most notably how much Puffalt's departure will cost the City, will not be announced publicly. However, the mayor also noted that the City's accounts are available to the public.
"We probably will not make a public announcement but our records are open, so when we go through budget, all of those will be able to be looked at and reviewed."
