Kara Kelley, the former President and CEO of the Las Vegas Chamber, will serve out the remainder of former Las Vegas City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman’s term, the City Council voted unanimously Wednesday.
Kelley may be best remembered for a 2008 study commissioned by the Chamber on public worker salaries that concluded state worker pay and the accompanying benefits diverted money from public services.
Council members ranked their selections and chose Kelley, longtime development executive Tom Warden, and Kasama as the finalists.
Kelley, who currently serves as vice-chair of the Colorado River Commission of Nevada, is a Las Vegas native.
“Now that money has funded a third straw and a fourth straw, and continues to create that critical infrastructure we need for water,” she said.
