Some surprising news from the City of Dryden.
It appears there's temporary changes at the top.
There are reports that Mayor Craig Nuttall has taken a 3 week leave of absence.
The move comes after a 4-3 vote that resulted in the defeat of a staffing position in the community.
Nuttall was one of three council members to vote in favour of the position.
The vote centred around the hiring of a previously advertised Economic Development Manager position.
Mary Trist will take over Acting Mayor duties.
