The Washoe County Board of Commissioners approved County Manager Eric Brown's job performance, awarding him a bonus during its Tuesday public meeting.

Brown’s evaluation was rated “effective” with the majority of criteria ratings coming in as “effective” and “highly effective.”

The county says the Board voted 4-1 to approve a salary adjustment aligned with what other county employees received in the last year, and a one-time 10% bonus of approximately $34,000.  

“It’s been an absolute joy to serve in this position over the last five years,” Brown said. “This year has been a year of serious challenges, but we’ve also made serious progress on our strategic plan priorities.”
