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’ three appointments to the Regional Planning Governing Board are staggered, three-year terms. Each appointee is an elected official; the current members are Council Member Ed Lawson; Council Member Charlene Bybee; Council Member Donald Abbott; and Council Member Kristopher Dahir, as an alternate. Ed Lawson's appointment expired on December 31, 2017 and he wishes to seek reappointment on the Regional Planning Governing Board.

Alternatives:

Council could give other direction.

Recommended Motion:

I move to re-appoint Council Member Ed Lawson to the Regional Planning Governing Board for a three-year term which will expire on December 31, 2020.
