LEFT AT THE ALTER
The City of Las Vegas had thought its search for a new finance director was over, only to have their choice bolt for Fort Worth, Texas before any ink had dried on the contracts. Aaron Bovos was set to meet members of the City Council on Dec. 17 when word was sent that he had accepted the top finance position in the Texas city. An item confirming him and his $157,500 salary was set to be heard before the City Council on Dec. 18 but was pulled. The city was not too forthcoming on what they’re going to do next; relaunch another national search or go off the list compiled during the initial search. Former Finance Director Candace Falder retired in early August, and a deputy director has been overseeing the department during the search. The last-minute bolt by Bovos, who was from Georgia, is made more curious because his salary in Fort Worth will by $158,000, only $500 more than what Las Vegas offered.
