Summary
The city interviewed its two finalists but neither is being advanced, so Fernley still has no permanent city manager — the person who runs daily operations and the budget. The mayor plans to contact other applicants and build an interview committee with the sheriff, fire chief, and regional officials, while the city is mid-budget-cycle.
