The Reno City Council has approved a $300,000 settlement with for two former city employees who filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the city.
The lawsuit filed in 2017 said former City Manager Andrew Clinger created a hostile work environment.
His former assistant, Maureen McKissick, said she suffered reprisals after she accused Clinger of having an inappropriate relationship with another female manager. Ex-city communications director Deanna Gescheider said Clinger rubbed her thigh during a management meeting and wanted her to destroy suggestive messages he sent her.
The Reno Gazette Journal reports council members took less than 90 seconds Monday to approve the settlement without comment.
Clinger has maintained his innocence.
The council terminated him in 2016 with a $228,000 severance package. He is now the chief financial officer for the Nevada System of Higher Education.
