Jan 13, 2021 | 8:45 AM

TABER, AB – The Town of Taber will look to begin the process of looking for a new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) shortly.

At Monday’s meeting of council, they resolved to terminate the contract of CAO Cory Armfelt effective immediately.

As this is a personnel matter, the town told LNN that they would not be providing any reasons for why Armfelt was terminated.

“This decision was not made lightly, but Council shall now proceed with the process of finding a new CAO,” said Mayor Andrew Prokop, “I have no doubt that the staff of the Town of Taber are an exemplary group and will continue to do their utmost to serve the people of Taber in the interim. We thank the staff and the public for their patience and understanding during this time.”

For now, the town will have two Interim CAOs – Director of Engineering and Public Works Gary Scherer and Director of Finance John Orwa.
