The Town of High River finally found their man.

Turns out he was there all along.

Town Council has taken the "acting" off Tom Maier's business cards, instead giving him the job of Chief Administrative Officer or CAO.

Maier says he's glad council and the rest of the administration has the faith in him to hand him the reigns.

"The feeling I got the support of everybody, so we can work together as an organization to do the best for what this community needs for the long term. And looking at how we can make High River the best community it can be. We don't just want to be an average community. We want to be a superior community in how we manage and conduct our daily business."

Maier, who's also the Town's Chief Financial Officer, isn't sure if he'll hang onto that title as well.

He says he may opt to pass it along to another CFO.
