SLT contemplating leadership at airport

South Lake Tahoe officials are trying to figure out what to do without an airport manager.

Sherry Miller, who has been the director of the facility since 2009, has left for a similar job in Chico.

Ray Jarvis, who heads public works, is in charge for now. He oversaw the airport in Mammoth when he worked for that city.

“We’ll likely recruit for a new manager, but we had already reorganized all maintenance and ops staff to work under the new management and ops in public works, and all airport CIP projects go through public works as well,” City Manager Nancy Kerry told Lake Tahoe News. “Mark Carlson, (former finance director), had proposed eliminating the position as it currently is and changing it to a maintenance supervisor.”

With the reorg, it meant Miller had no staff — it was just her.
