Agenda Item Brief: Committee Appointment.

Background: The Regional Planning Governing Board is responsible for regional planning policy issues and adopts the Regional Plan based on recommendations put forward by the Regional Planning Commission. The Board has ten members: three from Washoe County; four from the City of Reno; and three from the City of Sparks.

Analysis: The City of Sparks’ 3 appointments to the Regional Planning Governing Board are staggered, three-year terms. Each appointee is an elected official; the current members are Mayor Geno Martini, Council Member Ed Lawson, Council Member Mike Carrigan and Council Member Ron Smith, as an alternate. Council Member Mike Carrigan’s appointment expires on June 30, 2014; although his term with the Sparks City Council will expire in November of this year, he is willing to serve on this board for the remainder of his City Council term, and wishes to seek reappointment on the Regional Planning Governing Board.

Alternatives:

Recommended Motion: I move to confirm the appointment of Council Member Carrigan to the Regional Planning Governing Board for a three year term of June 30, 2014 – June 30, 2017.
