Message From Commissioner Herman:
Happy New Year and welcome to 2020! We have made much progress this past decade, and I look forward to the many positive changes to come in the new decade. I am particularly pleased to welcome Mr. Eric Brown, our new County Manager who is now on board. You can read more about Mr. Brown in this issue of Commissioner Connections.
In this issue, I want to take a moment to highlight the Citizens Advisory Boards (CAB). Washoe County CABs present a wonderful opportunity to give back to your community and become more involved in local issues that impact us all. Among other duties, CABs most noticeably provide feedback to the Board of County Commissioners on planning and development related projects. District 5 is the largest geographical district in Washoe County at 5,827 square miles and consisting of 89 percent of the County. There are five CABs in District 5; Gerlach/Empire, North Valleys, Warm Springs/Rural, Sun Valley (shared with District 3), and West Truckee Meadows/Verdi (shared with District 1). To learn more, or to attend a future CAB meeting, go here.
I hope you will find this eNewsletter informative and helpful. Please read further to learn about some of the exciting programs and initiatives in Washoe County. In the meantime, I wish you a happy, safe, and prosperous New Year, and new decade.
Sincerely,
