Nuse gets the nod in San Marcos, meaning Scott Moore will remain in Peoria:
After a two-hour executive session Tuesday night, the San Marcos City Council named Jim Nuse as the lone candidate for the vacant city manager position just five weeks before an election that could sit a new council majority.
Nuse is the city manager for Round Rock, though he presented that city’s council with his resignation in June. Nuse’s resignation was to take effect in January.
The council picked Nuse over the two other finalists — Peoria, IL, City Manager Scott Moore and Kilgore City Manager Jeffrey Howell.
All three candidates met with citizens in a session on Sept. 22, then met again in executive session with the city council later that evening. The executive session included interviews with the candidates, after which the council made no decision. Councilmembers said they would use the time before Tuesday’s special session to mull over comment cards presented by residents during the public “meet and greet.”

On Sept. 13, 2010 I posted, before the finalist were announced or the first person was interviewed.

shh! don’t tell anyone. This is just between you and me, OK.
The council is going to interview a couple of people on Tuesday and then Wed. morning they are going to interview a few more. They are coming back (in executive session of course) in the afternoon where Susan is going to tell the council who the top candidate is going to be. The Council will get to pick the second choice so we can have a show and tell with a public reception for the two candidate. I kind of feel sorry for the second choice because he/she is going to think they actually have a shot at the job and will have to go through the whole public ordeal. The first candidate will be announcement in the next meeting as the new City Manager. It is probably going to be the ex city manager of Round Rock. He is Susan’s guy. His name is Jim Nuse and he is “retiring” from the City of Round Rock. Of interest, the marketing logo for the City of Round Rock is Purpose. Passion. Prosperity. If that isn’t pretty. near. perfect. I don’t know what is.
Remember,don’t tell anybody, it’s our little secret.

It was all performace art from the hiring of the search consultant to the delayed announcment so that it would look like a lot of consideration was going into the selection.
Remind me why I care about this?
yeah. Whoppie di do. So now he’s gonna have to suffer here with a 6 figure salary and a company car.
Well I hope he’s done trying to move on and finally makes Peoria his home for a few years at least.
Until someone figures out how to pull Texas closer to Peoria- the pull of a job closer to family will always be there.
well, he obviously is looking to move on. The job he considered was a town of 35,000—a definite “demotion” from Peoria.
It is also unknown if this was the first job he applied for or has been considered for…..
