Spanish Springs CAB approves schedule adjustments and sets May program for Washoe County Budget 101

The board moved several procedural items affecting the 2026 meeting schedule. Jason Evans made a motion to maintain ten CAB meetings per year and to keep August and December as no‑meeting months; the motion was seconded and carried by voice approval.

The board also moved to swap the November planning commission presentation with March’s wildlife topic to better align speakers and attendance. Board members discussed keeping the process flexible because speaker availability and staff capacity may require adjustments.

Following audience input, the CAB voted to change the May program from Outdoor Recreation to a Budget 101 session timed to Washoe County’s tentative budget calendar (the county submits a tentative budget to the state Department of Taxation by April 15). The board agreed the presentation should include guidance on how residents can use county tools (such as Washoe 311) and a QR code or other methods to submit feedback so comments can be considered in the next budget cycle.

The motions were approved by the board during the meeting; the transcript records the motions and seconds but does not include formal roll‑call tallies. The CAB emphasized flexibility in scheduling and asked staff to include feedback mechanisms (QR codes, portal prompts) for presentations that solicit community input.
