FLORENCE, AZ – After a nationwide search, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors have agreed to enter into negotiations with Stewart Ed, General Services Director for the City of El Paso, Texas, as the new Pinal County Manager.
Ed, along with Interim County Manager Greg Stanley, were the two finalists for the position as voted on by the Board of Supervisors in Wednesday’s meeting. After a second vote, Ed was unanimously chosen.
“It was a hard decision,” said Board Chairman Steve Miller. “We had four terrific finalists for this position. As Chairman, I will contact Stewart and start negotiations immediately. Hopefully we can come to an agreement.”
The other two finalists for the position were Dena Diorio from Mecklenburg County, North Carolina and Sandi Wilson from Maricopa County.
