Fellow Employees,

The health and vibrancy of our organization and our community are among my highest priorities. Effective today, I will be on voluntary leave for the next 15 days to ensure the important business of the city continues without interruption or distraction. In my absence, I have designated Bill Thomas to act in my place as City Manager. I have no doubt Bill will do an outstanding job.

All of you are dedicated and hardworking individuals who not only care a great deal about this organization, but the community as a whole.

Thank you for your continued service and dedication to the citizens of Reno.
