Peter Tarnawsky, who was recently the interim manager of Cypress County during a hiring process, has found similar work in Kneehill County.

Reports from Drumheller state that Tarnawsky will serve as the chief administrative officer of that municipality until a permanent replacement can be found.

The position opened in October when Kneehill’s long-serving top administrator retired. At that time, Tarnawsky was completing a short-term contract with Cypress County as it evaluated candidates to replace retired CAO Doug Henderson.

In Dunmore, new CAO Taroyln Aaserud has been in the position since Nov. 13.

Tarnawsky previously worked as the top administrator for Sturgeon County, near St. Albert.
