Dolores officials are negotiating to retain former town manager Ryan Mahoney as a consultant for the next six months.<\/p>\n
The decision came after a search for his replacement failed to find a match for the town.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve always had a good working relationship with Ryan, and he is familiar with the town and what we are doing,\u201d said interim manager Lana Hancock.<\/p>\n
Mahoney was town manager for four years, but relocated to Tucson, Ariz., in September.<\/p>\n
Hancock said he\u2019d help oversee projects, be available by phone and review documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not a done deal, but we hope to have a contract signed in July,\u201d Hancock said. \u201cIt would be for professional services, and final decisions would be made by town staff and the board.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mahoney would likely help handle Phase 2 of the sidewalk project and the installation of the Overlook Trail connector. He may travel to Dolores as part of the job. The board will reconsider searching for a permanent town manager in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
