Manhattan City Manager Ron Fehr saw his contract renewed by city commissioners in December, though one member of the board thinks it’s time for a change in city administration. “I have some general issues with how the city was run last year,” says Commissioner Wynn Butler. The Commission on December 20 voted 4 to 1 to approve Fehr’s contract, with Butler the lone opponent. Fehr in 2023 will see his pay rise from about $174,000 to $192,000, a $17,000 increase that briefing documents indicate was ‘somewhat’ based on the city’s recent pay study – conducted by consultant A.G.H.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero had a shot at a two-game tryout. A chance to get a feel for the job of head coach, even if it was on an interim basis.

It’s how he feels he can best help the team as interim coach Jerry Rosburg —…
