Douglas County lining up interim manager

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.
