Terrence Moore<\/p><\/div>\n

Las Cruces City Manager Terrence Moore<\/a> wasn\u2019t selected as one of four finalists for the job of city manager in Scottsdale, Ariz.<\/p>\n

Moore wrote in an April 2 letter<\/a> to Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima<\/a> that he \u201cdid not initiate first contact\u201d but was one of eight people being recruited for the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I am both flattered and honored to be considered for this opportunity, I remain firmly committed to the City of Las Cruces and our community,\u201d Moore wrote in that letter, which was published by the Las Cruces Sun-News alongside an April 3 article that\u2019s no longer available online.<\/p>\n

On April 9, a search committee narrowed the list of candidates for the Scottsdale job to four, the Arizona Republic<\/a> reported. Those finalists will be interviewed April 30<\/a>. Moore is not among them.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a Do\u00f1a Ana County Sheriff\u2019s Department probe involving Moore is still ongoing<\/a>. The department has been investigating two incidents<\/a> involving Moore and his ex-wife \u2013 one surrounding injuries Moore\u2019s then-wife suffered in late 2008 and the other involving a police report the city manager filed over a prescription-drug incident in January 2009.<\/p>\n

Moore has been under scrutiny lately for two other issues:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Earlier this year he reimbursed the city for some costs associated with\u00a0two business trips<\/a> he took last year \u2013 after a complaint was filed over one trip and an attorney requested documentation about the other.<\/p>\n

\u2022 He also had his administrative assistant\u00a0babysit his children<\/a> on Dec. 21 \u2013 while she was on the clock and being paid with public money \u2013 so he could attend a city council meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
