Steese said he has informed council members and the mayor of Easley about the process.
The town of Bluffton said, in a press release, that the town’s attorney is drafting the offer, which would finalize salary and start date.
The Bluffton Town Council met Monday in executive session for much of the day with the intent to publicly name three finalists but decided instead to offer the job to Steese, according to the town’s statement.
Steese has been administrator since 2015. He has been with the city during a downtown revitalization and projects including the Doodle Trail, a mill renovation, the Silos project and a population boom expected to vastly increase the city’s size in coming years.
