Practicing what it had just preached, the Reno City Council today rejected an offer from one assistant city manager to serve as interim manager for the next six months after he wanted a raise for the extra work and instead picked the other assistant to fill the post for about a month.
Susan Schlerf, an 8-year employee, said she would consider only a brief appointment because she is getting married soon. She replaces Donna Dreska, who announced her intent to resign Feb. 18.
Mayor Bob Cashell proposed John Hester be named as interim director for six months and be paid $23,000 more than his $172,800 salary. That also would be more than what Dreska was paid.
“I think that’s too much,” Councilman Dave Aiazzi said.
