The town of Carbondale is setting out to look for its first new town manager in a decade.
Current Town Manager Jay Harrington, who has been with Carbondale for 10 years, was selected last week and accepted a new job as Routt County manager in Steamboat Springs, starting Sept. 20. He will remain at the helm in Carbondale until Sept. 10.
“This has been just a great place to raise a kid, and the support from the community on numerous fronts has been amazing,” Harrington said during the regular Tuesday night Board of Trustees meeting.
“It’s been an honor to be a caretaker of the local government. And I say that because you don’t really run Carbondale, you kind of just take care of it, because it kind of runs on its own and has its own pulse.”

The coronavirus pandemic is no longer considered an emergency in Garfield County, and things continue to return to some semblance of normal based on recent case trends and the local vaccination rate.
Garfield County commissioners on Monday rescinded the public health emergency declaration that was put in place over a year ago, on March 16, 2020, soon after COVID-19 first appeared in Colorado.
Doing so won’t negatively impact the county in terms of relief funds eligibility or other assistance, Garfield County Public Health Director Yvonne Long said during her monthly COVID-19 update to the commissioners.
“This allows us to move into a period of normalcy here in Garfield County,” Commissioner Tom Jankovsky said.
