considered as a block and will not be read aloud. Items on this agenda may also be moved to or from the  
consent section. Items not voted on in the Consent section may also be voted on in a separate block or blocks.  
Items designated for a specified time will not be heard prior to the stated time but may be heard later. There  
will be only one period of public comment on any block vote. Any public comment made during that period  
may pertain to any of the items being voted on in the block, but there will not be separate public comment  
periods for each item within the block.  
Location. This meeting will be held at the physical location designated on this agenda, but one or more of the  
County Commissioners and/or County staff may attend and participate by a remote technology system.  
Members of the public wishing to attend the meeting may do so at the designated physical location or may  
otherwise participate as stated in the Public Comment section. The Chair or their designee will make  
reasonable efforts to ensure that members of the public body and members of the public present at the  
physical location can hear or observe each member attending by remote technology system, and each member  
of the public body in attendance can participate in the meeting.

with Disabilities Act, will make its public meetings digitally, physically, and language accessible to the public. For

Forum Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business. The Board of County Commissioners carries out the business  
of Washoe County and its residents during its meetings. The presiding officer may order a person be removed if  
the person’s conduct or statements disrupt the order or safety of the meeting. Warnings about disruptive conduct  
or comments may or may not be given prior to removal.  
Public Comment. Public comment is welcomed during public comment periods and is limited to 3 minutes per  
person per public comment period. Unused time may not be allocated to other speakers. A speaker’s  
viewpoint will not be restricted; however, reasonable restrictions may be imposed upon the time, place, and  
manner of speech. Irrelevant statements, unduly repetitious statements, and personal attacks that would  
objectively antagonize or incite others are examples of speech that may be reasonably limited. All comments  
are to be directed to the Commission as a whole.  
During the general public comment periods at the beginning and end of the meeting, speakers may address  
any matter either on or off the agenda. Items voted on in the Consent section or in a separate block or blocks  
shall have a single public comment period per block, and public comment will only be heard about the specific  
items being considered by the Commission in the block. For the remainder of the agenda, during items  
designated “for possible action” that are considered individually, public comment will only be heard about the  
specific item being considered by the Commission. Members of the public that wish to share documents or  
make a brief presentation within their public comment period must provide ten (10) printed copies of each  
document. Please note that USB drives or any other digital media will not be accepted due to the risk of  
introducing viruses or malicious code, which could potentially compromise the County’s systems.  
Members of the public may also submit comments by mail (1001 E. Ninth St., Reno, NV 89512), by eComment  
at https://washoe-nv.granicusideas.com/#. The County will make reasonable efforts to include all such

Responses to Public Comments. The Board of County Commissioners may only deliberate or take action on  
matters that have been properly labeled “for possible action” and listed on a properly noticed Agenda. While  
the Open Meeting law allows discussion of public comments by members of the Commission, responses to  
matters not listed on the agenda could become deliberation without notice to the public. To avoid this  
situation and to ensure the public has proper notice of all matters, members may choose not to respond to  
public comments, except to correct factual inaccuracies, ask for staff to provide information, or ask that the  
matter be listed on a future agenda for consideration.

Land Acknowledgement. We begin by acknowledging that we gather today on the ancestral homelands of the  
Waší·šiw (Washoe), Numu (Northern Paiute), Newe (Western Shoshone), Nuwu (Southern Paiute), and Pipa  
Aha (Mojave), the original caretakers of the land that we now call Nevada. Washoe County, formally named  
after the Washoe people in 1861, continues to be a gathering place and home for Indigenous Peoples, and we  
recognize their rich history and deep connections to these lands. May we honor their past, present, and future  
stewardship by remembering that the health of the land and its people are inextricably linked.
