NTPUD general manager steps down

North Tahoe Public Utility District General Manager Curtis Aaron is resigning effective Dec. 17.

He is relocating back to Southern California due to family concerns. Aaron joined the district in March 2007.

An Open House will be Dec. 9 at the North Tahoe Event Center in Kings Beach to bid farewell to Aaron.

“Curtis has made significant contributions to the District in his short time here,” Lane Lewis, president of the board of directors, said in a statement. “In addition to the significant capital projects that have been completed in his tenure, the district has reduced spending and improved administrative operations. He will be missed.”

Paul Schultz, Planning and Engineering manager, has been named the acting general manager. The board will discuss the next steps related to their search for a new General Manager at the Dec. 7 meeting.
