## Resource

Reno and Sparks are exploring a bold new plan: David Cochran, Reno’s current fire chief, could also lead Sparks’ department—without merging the two cities. Sparks would pay Reno 25% of Cochran’s salary and benefits, and he’d report to both city managers. This setup aims to share leadership expertise while keeping operations separate. Both city councils will vote on the proposal soon—Sparks on July 27 and Reno on July 29—with final approval still pending.
