Watch it live: South Lake Tahoe City Council meeting

Update 6PM: City Council votes 4-1 not hire a firm to do a search for a new city manager. Instead leaders agreed to wait 90 days, until Oct. 1, to decide if interim City Manager Nancy Kerry should get the job. In the meantime, a firm was selected to do a background check on Kerry. Council members repeatedly noted and praised Kerry as being ethical and knows the city and its functions and is therefore trustworthy, is the most qualified for the job and that doing a search for anyone else is too costly and therefore unnecessary. Councilman Tom Davis, who voted no, said for public transparency and ethical reasons, there ought to be a search, even though Kerry is the general favorite among the council.
