The Carson City Board of Supervisors appointed the newest Board member on Thursday afternoon, to fill the role of Lori Bagwell, who was recently elected as Carson City’s newest mayor. Her seat represents Ward 3.

There were five applicants for the job, all of whom, the board agreed, were very impressive and each would have made an excellent supervisor.

However, only one applicant could be selected, which went to Stan Jones, who will fulfill the remaining two years of Bagwell’s term.

His resume is as follows:

Stan Jones. Jones describes himself as a “successful, longtime business owner with a distinguished military career and a proven record of community service as a volunteer and service on numerous boards.” Jones, along with his wife, own and operate the Purple Avocado and has been a member on many Carson City boards, including the Ron Wood Center, the V&T Railroad Commission, the Carson City Arts and Culture Committee, and more.
