CTV News has learned the City of Greater Sudbury is looking for a new chief financial officer, in a hastily-called news conference Friday morning at Tom Davies Square.
The news comes three weeks after the city announced Hailey Pinksen as its new Director of Finance and Chief Financial Officer.
She replaced Ed Stankiewicz, who retired earlier this year, and started her position Nov. 21.
Controversy struck when Pinksen, who is from Alberta, declined to relocate to the city.
"After careful consideration in discussing options with senior staff, we asked Hailey Pinksen to reconsider moving to Greater Sudbury to perform her role. Her personal circumstances do not allow her to do that and we could not find a way forward that worked for both Hailey and our community," Greater Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefebvre said at Friday's news conference.
"This is not about Hailey. She has an impressive resume, and I know she is a talented individual. This is about what is best for our community and doing what is in our collective interest."
Lefebvre said he feels the person in the position needs to live in the city.
