North Las Vegas City Attorney Carie Torrence announced Wednesday that she would resign her post as of Sept. 3. She said she is moving to the East Coast.

The City Council on Wednesday accepted her resignation and appointed Senior Deputy City Attorney Nick Vaskov to replace her on an interim basis beginning Sept. 4.

Council members thanked Torrence for her seven years of service to the city and wished her well.

Torrence, 35, was appointed city attorney in February 2007 and previously served as an assistant city attorney.

Vaskov will receive a 5 percent pay increase over his current salary, which was not immediately available.
