Ward 4 Neighborhood Advisory Board Meeting - October 15, 2026

The City of Reno Ward 4 Neighborhood Advisory Board meeting on October 15, 2026, included presentations and public input on two development-related items. NV Energy described a proposed realignment for part of a roughly 10.5-mile transmission line project, explaining system-reliability needs, property-owner easements, and the route’s relationship to the prior environmental review. Board members and residents raised concerns about tree and wildlife impacts, the route’s history, and public notification; NV Energy discussed its rationale and said it would provide additional project information. A Desert Win Homes representative also presented an application to abandon a 1979 roadway easement because a proposed emergency-vehicle access route will be located elsewhere; the development includes about 180 existing and proposed lots. No procurement award or spending vote was identified for either item.

City staff provided guidance on how neighborhood advisory board comments inform later project review, and board members discussed fire-safety measures and a possible joint meeting with city and county officials, including pursuing grants and sharing grant information with HOAs. The meeting concluded with a motion and second to adjourn, approved without opposition. No procurement activity was identified.
