Walker, who earns $75,000 a year as finance chief, is accepting a partnership with a Las Vegas-based financial services firm headed by former Clark County Finance Director Guy Hobbs. She'll run a northern Nevada branch office.

Also Thursday, Carson City Fire Chief Lou Buckley said he's looking for another job. He didn't say why he wanted to leave the fire department, and declined to discuss where he had applied for other positions.

Their moves follow a decision by former Utilities Director Dorothy Timian-Palmer to resign Jan. 1 to work as a private water resources firm in Reno. And former public works chief Jay Aldean left for a private engineering firm in April.
