The Dalles City Council voted Monday to authorize City Attorney Gene Parker to negotiate a contract with interim City Manager Julie Krueger for her to take the job on a permanent basis.  The vote came shortly after the Council came out of a 45-minute executive session.  The search to fill the position had been on-going since the Council voted to terminate long-time City Manager Nolan Young’s contract in September.  Mayor Steve Lawrence said they had whittled a pool of 40 candidates down to four, and the job was offered to one finalist that turned it down.  Lawrence says at this point the Council did not want to go back into that process, opting instead to make an offer to Krueger.  The vote on the motion was 3-1, with Tim McGlothlin the lone no vote, saying he did not think the City had gone far enough in their search for a replacement and should take another look at the current pool of candidates.  Krueger has been The Dalles City Clerk for 15 years.
