Kevin G. Huckabee, city manager at the City of Jefferson since July 2016, has accepted an offer from the City of Bowie to become city manager with a start date of March 12.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris said the council made the offer Friday morning following a called council meeting Thursday night.
The council had been scheduled to interview one applicant, but when that person cancelled the panel debated the four applicants who had been interviewed. The lone local candidate interviewed was Bowie businessman Bert Cunningham. There were 28 applicants.
After a 90-minute executive session, the council returned to open session and voted to make the offer. Councilor Terry Gunter cast the only no vote.

Bryce Dingler, former Nocona man who has been missing for almost a week, was found deceased this morning in Clay County in an area near where his pickup truck was found along the side of U.S. Highway 287 near Jolly last Wednesday. See the following statement from the Clay County Sheriff.
A search is planned Tuesday for Bryce Dingler, missing for almost one week.
The Clay County Sheriff’s office has organized the search where law enforcement will be using search dogs, a plane and drones to search specific areas in Clay County, along with deputies and paramedics walking the area in hopes of finding Bryce. The group will be small as to not throw off the search dogs. The focus will be in the area where Dingler’s truck was found last Wednesday.
The Nocona News Facebook page stated Monday evening: “At the request of Dr. Len Dingler, while everyone’s desires to help find their missing son Bryce are appreciated, the family asks you limit your support tomorrow to prayers and allow the professionals do their jobs, unhindered with extra untrained bodies and false footprints which could divert their efforts.” Bryce is Len’s son.
