Genoans approved a new job description Tuesday for their town manager that makes it very clear that Candy Dance is a major part of the job but decided to forego actually hiring a manager. Town board members approved an interlocal agreement with Douglas County to provide management services for $45,000 a year, far less than the town would have paid a new manager. However, the agreement says the town has to spend some of that money to bring its secretarial help up to full time.
