Bradley finalist, Minot City Manager’s job

MINOT, ND (AP) – The list of candidates for the job of Minot city manager has been narrowed down to three.

The finalists are Casey Bradley, auditor and chief operating officer of Stutsman County; Michael Kardoes, director of the operations division of the Air Force District of Washington in Maryland; and Thomas Barry, public works director of the city of Meridian, Idaho.

City officials say the candidates are scheduled to be interviewed by a search committee Friday, when they will also tour city facilities. Residents interested in meeting the candidates will have the opportunity to participate in an event scheduled for Thursday.

Minot city manager Lee Staab resigned in August.  The city then hired a recruitment firm to help identify potential candidates.
