Former City Manager Pete Kampfer will head to New Mexico next week leaving behind an impressive list of accomplishments achieved here the last 30 months as Colorado City’s city manager.

Kampfer arrived here in October of 2009, and how many remember his first order of business? The city was on the brink of bankruptcy and could barely meet payroll and several in the community had suggested filing bankruptcy.

Billie Dunn, mother of missing Colorado City 13-year-old Hailey Dunn, posted bail after spending the night in Mitchell County Jail on charges of hindering an investigation, falsifying a report to law enforcement officers and possession of a dangerous drug.
Dunn was magistrated Friday morning by Mitchell County Justice of the Peace James Williams after being arrested Thursday evening on charges of hampering an investigation, lying to law enforcement officers and possession of a dangerous drug.
