Rockdale’s MDD board took a step closer to hiring an executive director Monday when it voted to set up interviews with three contenders for the position.

The Municipal Development District board told interim director Uryan Nelson to set up the three interviews between June 7 and 11.

Should those dates be unacceptable to the candidates, the second week of June was selected as backup dates.

A new director could be named within the next three months as the board extended Nelson’s term of service to at least that long in a vote. It was noted that contract could be terminated without penalty before three months have passed. Nelson has served in an interim capacity since early February of this year.
