Council approves Miller reorganization plan

KINGMAN – The promotion of Finance Director Tina Moline to the new Deputy City Manager position is one key prong of a government reorganization plan approved during the Dec. 19 meeting of the Kingman City Council.

Miller told council members a raise for Moline will be necessary but that savings will provide funds to hire two people to examine plans and conduct building inspections for a short-staffed Community Services Department. That realm of municipal operation is…
