The CABs will be asked to study and advise their County Commissioners on local public issues, including but not limited to regulations that guide building and planning for neighborhoods, neighborhood development proposals, public safety, the 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 July, followed quickly by a required CAB training. All applicants must reside within their CAB boundaries and be registered voters (if eligible) in Washoe County.
