O’Rourke reportedly going to start new job by July

While South Lake Tahoe City Manager Tony O’Rourke told Lake Tahoe News on April 30 that he is still negotiating with Yakima, Wash., officials, news outlets in that town make it sound like it’s a done deal he will be moving north.

“I’m gonna make it hard on myself, I’d like to come up there and buy a home, how’s that as a starting point? That’s a pretty good anchor point into the community. The city has nothing to worry about,” O’Rourke is quoted on KAPP-TV.

Yakima’s City Council on April 27 offered O’Rourke the job of city manager.

Also according to the television station, O’Rourke plans to start the new job by July.
