Submitted by editor on Thu, 04/19/2018 - 9:59am
Carson City Manager Nick Marano announced Thursday at the Board of Supervisors meeting that he would not renew his contract, which will expire June 2, and has accepted a position in the private sector.
The Carson City Board of Supervisors picked Marano, a consultant and former Commanding Officer of the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, in May 2014.
Marano says he plans to stay in the area.
Before coming to Carson City, Marano was noted for an accomplished and distinguished military career serving in the US Marine Corps for 32 years. From 2003 to 2007, Marano led a highly decorated infantry battalion which completed four combat tours in Iraq. From 2009 to 2012, he was the commanding officer for the Marine Corps’ largest base-Camp Pendleton, California. As Mayor and City Manager of Camp Pendleton, he managed city planning, construction and developed energy conservation plans. Marano retired from the US Marine Corp in 2012 achieving the rank of Colonel.
Marano started as Carson City's Manager on June 2, 2014. He replaced Larry Werner who is now serving as County Manager for Douglas County.
Here's the letter Marano submitted:
Mayor and Board of Supervisors:
Per section 1.2 of my employment agreement, I hereby provide notice that I do not intend to renew my contract when it expires on June 2, 2018.I would like to thank the Mayor and Board of Supervisors for this tremendous opportunity I have had to be your City Manager. Many organizations say they want to employ veterans; I can tell you from first hand experience how difficult it really is. I am forever grateful to the Board for believing in me and giving me that opportunity.
I believe that I have a talented, and deep, team of committed, and ethical professionals who have taken up my challenge to change the way we deliver government services and reconnect with the community one resident at a time. I am proud of the work all of them do on a daily basis. This has been an eventful four-year period for our community as we have seen massive improvements in things like our trail network, the Downtown, the Animal Shelter, MAC, our water and wastewater systems and so much more. Every single one of them happened without a hitch because of that deep team of skilled professionals that I have been so privileged to lead.
I would like to end by thanking the community for embracing my family and I. When I first interviewed for this position, I said that it was important to my family and I to be part of the fabric of this community, There are so many wonderful organizations that Tami and I have been proud to be a part of, and will continue to be a part of in the future. I am looking at accepting a position in the private sector, and the good news is that we won't be leaving the greatest place to live in Nevada.
Sincerely,
Nick Marano
City Manager
