Almost 31 years to the day after he came to work for Douglas County, Assistant County Manager Scott Morgan will be wrapping his tenure on Jan. 3, 2025.
“While I'm not sure what the future holds or what my next steps will be, I plan to figure it out as I move forward,” he said. “There’s still so much I’d like to accomplish, and I feel like I’m still at the top of my game. We’ll see what happens next.”
Morgan served as the director of Community Services until January 2023 when he shifted to the assistant county manager position vacated when Jenifer Davidson was named county manager.
One of the major accomplishments of Morgan’s tenure as Community Services director was the December 2014 opening of the Douglas County Community & Senior Center in Gardnerville.
A celebration of its 10th anniversary is noon to 5 p.m. Dec. 14.
Morgan came to work for Douglas County in January 1994 as the first parks and recreation director after the two departments were combined.
He became the first director of the Community Services Department when that was formed in 1996.
During his 30-year tenure, Morgan has overseen Parks, Recreation, Social Services, Senior Services, Noxious Weed Control, Animal Care and Services, Public Health Nurse, and the DART transportation Departments.
Over the past year, he was the go-to for the changes at Lake Tahoe involving parking issues over the Fourth of July.
