Topeka’s mayor and city council have identified their top choice to be Topeka’s next city manager, but they’re not saying who it is. The mayor and council about 10:40 p.m. Tuesday voted 9-0, with Councilman Mike Lesser having just left the room, to direct Paul Bossert, of Kansas Personnel Services Inc., to begin contract negotiations with that finalist, whose name they didn’t reveal. Any vote to hire Topeka’s next city manager would need to take place during a public meeting. The mayor and council are scheduled to next meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, in their chambers at 214 S.E. 8th, according to the city’s website.
