TUCUMCARI, N.M. (AP) - Tucumcari needs a new city manager. City commissioners Thursday fired city manager Bobbye Rose. City Clerk Christine Dougherty tells the Clovis News Journal (http://bit.ly/qJ0vhL ) community development director Doug Powers has been named interim city manager.
Mayor Jim Witcher says Rose was terminated on a 3-2 vote.
Rose was selected in March 2009 to be the city manager following the dismissal of John Sutherland. Rose and Sutherland are two of the four finalists for the vacant manager position in Lincoln County.
Witcher did not give a reason for the dismissal, but said it had "absolutely nothing" to do with her applying to Lincoln County.
