It appears that Westminster will go with one of its own to fill the role of city manager, which becomes vacant at the end of the month.
On Monday, the Westminster City Council authorized Mayor Herb Atchison to make an offer of employment to Don Tripp, the city’s parks, recreation and libraries director.
Tripp, who was one of three finalists for the job, takes over for longtime City Manager Brent McFall, who will retire Jan. 25.
The other two finalists were former West Jordan, Utah City Manager Richard Davis and Nancy Newton, deputy county administrator of Clackamas County, Ore.
A negotiated agreement with Tripp will be brought back to council in the near future for final action and approval.
