Carson City hires Glenn Martel as city manager, Board approves employment agreement
Summary
The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an employment agreement with Glenn Martel to become Carson City's next city manager, with terms negotiated by the District Attorney's office and minor textual correction noted before finalizing.
The Carson City Board of Supervisors on June 5 unanimously approved an employment agreement with Glenn Martel, selecting him as the city's next city manager with an effective start date discussed during the hiring process.
Human Resources Director Jeff Coolum summarized the selection process: the Board nominated Martel at a May 15 meeting and authorized the District Attorney’s Office to negotiate terms. Deputy District Attorney Dan Yu told the Board the parties had reached a tentative agreement after multiple discussions and exchanges. Yu noted a minor typographical correction in Section 9.5 (termination by death) where a missing final word was added to the draft; the word "cease" was inserted to complete the sentence.
Martel addressed the Board, expressed appreciation and confirmed he had agreed to the contract and looked forward to starting July 1. He also thanked the negotiating team and praised the collaborative negotiations.
Supervisor Horton moved to approve the agreement "with the amendment as stated on the record" (correcting the typographical omission). The motion passed unanimously.
Ending: With the contract approved, staff said Martel will begin onboarding and the city will finalize administrative steps to effect the start of the city manager transition.
