STAFF REPORT

BUDA – Interested citizens will have a chance early this evening to “meet and greet” the five city manager finalists at Buda City Hall from 5-6 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided.

The candidates being considered are Belinda Espinosa from Pinole, CA, Dennis McDuffie from McGregor, TX, Michael Miller from Farmington, NM, Dion Miller from Mineola, TX, and Jennifer Tubbs from Lansing, MI.

The Buda City Council will interview the five candidates Saturday. The city began a search for a new city manager in February, when Robert Camareno resigned to accept a position with the city of New Braunfels, his hometown.
