Voice your opinion and make a difference on Citizen Advisory Boards in Washoe County
Applications are accepted now through May 8 for appointments beginning July 1.

Reno, Nevada. April 9, 2015. Washoe County wants you to voice your opinion and take the opportunity to make a difference in your neighborhood. The County is looking for volunteers to serve on Citizen Advisory Boards (CABs) which represent all five Commission districts of the community. The primary purpose of the CABs is to connect residents with County government to share ideas, solutions and identify concerns.

The areas for which Washoe County is seeking CAB members and alternates include:

• East Truckee Canyon
• Incline Village/Crystal Bay
• North Valleys
• South Truckee Meadows/Washoe Valley
• Spanish Springs
• Sun Valley (assessing interest)
• Verdi Township (assessing interest)
• West Truckee Meadows

 View the complete list of CAB program meetings and membership.

The CABs will be asked to study and advise their County Commissioners on local public issues, including regulations that guide planning for and building neighborhoods, development proposals, public safety, scope of local government services, discussions on how to allocate local taxpayer funds, the status of erosion control and road programs, and the need for regional open space programs.

Applicants will be selected by Commissioners in May, followed quickly by required CAB training and initial meetings beginning in July. Specific meeting dates and times for each CAB are available online. CAB members must reside within their CAB boundaries and be registered voters in Washoe County. To view the new Citizen Advisory Board boundaries, please visit the CAB website.
