Oro Valley Town Manager Greg Caton has a job offer for a similar position in a Colorado city.

The Grand Junction City Council voted Wednesday to offer Caton the job at $180,000 a year plus perks and benefits, according to The (Grand Junction) Daily Sentinel.

Caton has not yet given his notice, but he intends to take the job once the Grand Junction process is final, said town spokeswoman Misti Nowak. Under his contract , he is required to give 90 days notice or the town council must agree on a shorter period, she said.

Oro Valley paid Caton $173,583 in 2014, including salary and benefits.

Caton was hired as Oro Valley’s assistant town manager in 2010, was named interim town manager in 2011, and was promoted to town manager in 2012.

Caton grew up in Colorado Springs, attended college in Durango and Denver, and worked for eight years as an assistant city manager in Durango. In June, Caton was a finalist for the city manager job in Golden.
