The four finalists are:

Chris Sharp - finance director for the City of Canyon
Jacob Ellis - deputy town manager for Gilbert, Arizona
Jon Behrens - interim city manager for the City of Canyon
Joe Price - assistant city manager and director of planning and development for Borger, Texas

A sole finalist is expected to be selected some time in the near future.
