The Washoe County Citizen Advisory Boards were created pursuant to NRS 244.1945 and Washoe County Code Section 5.425. Membership for each of the 14 boards ranges from five to nine members; each member is appointed to a two-year term by the County Commissioners. The boards study and give counsel on public issues, but are not responsible for the actual preparation of policies or programs. Their purpose is primarily to communicate ideas and concerns of local citizens to the County Commissioners, thus enabling the Commissioners to better do the job to which they were elected.
