Las Vegas man finalist for Ethics Commission job

Friday, Sept. 17, 1999 | 10:18 a.m.

CARSON CITY -- Ronald Shutt of Las Vegas is one of five finalists to become the first executive director of the Nevada Ethics Commission.

A subcommittee meeting in Las Vegas Thursday narrowed the list for executive director and selected three Reno lawyers as nominees for the first full-time attorney for the commission.

The finalists were scheduled to be interviewed this afternoon at the commission's Las Vegas meeting.

The subcommittee, composed of Peter Bernhard, a Las Vegas lawyer, and Mario Recanzone, a retired district judge from Fallon, selected Shutt, Karen Caldwell of Incline Village, William Yukish of Carson City and Kenneth Rohrs and Joel Gutensohn, both of Reno, for the $70,000-a-year job of executive director.

Nominated for the $67,000-a-year attorney's job were Ronetta Clark, Nancy Varnum and Hampton Young, all of Reno.

Deputy Attorney General Rob Bony, who represents the Ethics Commission until Oct. 1, said all the nominees appeared before the subcommittee Thursday for interviews and were notified to come before the full commission today.

Until this year the commission had only one full-time staff member, a program specialist.
