The Haines Borough Assembly Tuesday accepted interim manager Julie Cozzi’s recommendation to hire police chief candidate Richard Crays.
The assembly also authorized Cozzi to begin contract negotiations with Crays and capped the potential salary at $73,000.
Crays accepted the job pending negotiations of hiring terms, Cozzi said.
In a CVN interview Wednesday, Crays said he needs to give at least 20 days’ notice at his present job but otherwise can’t wait to get to Haines.
