Douglas County is looking to have Larry Werner be the interim county manager when Steve Mokrohisky leaves in April.

The commissioners on March 20 directed staff to work out a contract with Werner. Werner retired last year as manager of Carson City. He is also a former public works director for Douglas County.

Peckham & McKenney has been hired as the recruiting firm. The process is expected to take four to six months.

The salary range for the next county manager will be between $135,000 and $185,000. The low end is more than Mokrohisky is currently making.
