Maricopa is hunting for a new city manager.
After almost four years, Gregory Rose announced to staff Tuesday morning his intention to leave for a similar position in University City, Missouri. He starts his new job Dec. 28. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, his salary will be $170,000. His Maricopa salary is $173,000.
“I think we’re all sad to see him go,” Mayor Christian Price said. “I know he has family back in the Dallas area, and University City makes it a little bit better to get to. And [University City is] going through some challenges that fall within his wheelhouse.”
University City has had financial and development problems as well as political issues. Rose said he felt that was a main reason he was selected.
