JOHN DAY โ€“ John Day Mayor Heather Rookstool was recently in the KJDY and News 102 newsroom and said there will be a meet-and-greet for the new City Manager candidates on October 6th. She said this is the first time that they have included the public in their City Manager selection process:

โ€œItโ€™s going to be on a Friday. We will do a Meet-and-Greet for the community from eight [a.m.] to ten, and Iโ€™ll have donuts and coffee and stuff at the Fire Hall. Staff and community members can come and meet the three candidates, and also have an opportunity to drop in a box any questions they want asked of the candidates during their interviews.โ€

Mayor Rookstool said all three candidates are willing to move to John Day to take on the full-time position.
