Here’s Henry Brean:

Long-time Southern Nevada Water Authority chief Pat Mulroy is preparing to retire but won’t make a formal announcement until “she’s ready,” Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak said Monday.

And Conor Shine:

Southern Nevada Water Authority General Manager Pat Mulroy is planning to retire after 22 years on the job.

Reached Monday evening, Mulroy said she had not set a date for her departure and was instead working to prepare an “orderly transition.”

“I think it’s time to have that discussion about ‘Where do we go from here?’” Mulroy said. “I have not set a date. It will be when all of that is teed up.”

This totally screws up the last chapter of my book.
