After a two month search and a week of interviews, the Dawson County Board of Commissioners has narrowed the field of county manager candidates to the top four applicants. Commission Chairman Mike Berg on Monday said the county's next chief operating officer should be decided next week. Those selected as finalists are Randall Dowling, former Barrow County manager; Bruce Georgia, a retired colonel in the U.S. Army and former Dahlonega city manager; Ronald Rabun, currently Lee County's manager; and Jason Tinsley, former chief executive and administrative officer for the City of Jefferson.
