TRPA renews search for executive director

Monday, May 22, 2000 | 12:03 p.m.

The panel is going through the selection process again because its two top choices decided they didn't want the job.

Greg James, director for the water department in Inyo County, Calif., surfaced as the top candidate after more than 100 people applied, but turned down a $100,000-a-year pay offer.

Pamela Wilcox, Nevada state lands director and the No. 2 pick, also dropped out of the running. That left a third finalist, Bill Allayaud, Salt Lake City's principal planner.

The TRPA began searching for an executive director in January when Baetge, TRPA's leader for five years, resigned for health reasons.

Larry Sevison, the governing board's chairman, said he's confident that TRPA's staff will get the job done until a new leader is hired.

"The senior managers at TRPA have many years of experience in carrying out the duties of the agency as prioritized by the governing board and staff in the annual work program," he said.
