Amador County – Ione City Council made an offer to one of its finalists for the City Manager position recently, and is awaiting a response.

The council had a closed session meeting Wednesday to discuss the issue, and Interim City Manager Jeff Butzlaff said Thursday that the council had made an offer, and awaits response. The council had narrowed the finalists and conducted interviews to replace Butzlaff, who said he “becomes extinct” at the end of the month.

He said the council may schedule a special meeting Monday to field the response and go on from there. The issue is still confidential personnel dealings. Butzlaff said hopefully there is an overlap between his tenure and the new manager so they can work together.
