11/9/2026 North Valleys CAB Meeting

The Washoe County, Nevada, North Valleys Citizens Advisory Board met on November 9, 2026. Most discussion focused on the recent Hog Fire response: residents questioned the timing and placement of fire crews and aircraft, evacuation conditions, and neighborhood preparedness. A fire official cited limited regional and national resources, described the unified command response, and said an after-action review would examine challenges and future prevention measures. The official also noted that the loss of a federal hazard-mitigation grant program represented about $5 million in funding for Washoe County fires that could previously support reseeding and mitigation; staffing, fuel reduction, and other preparedness efforts were discussed as needs, but no funding decision was made.

Residents also raised concerns about the proposed Peavine Peak Trails business park and related Reno planning and zoning changes (LDC 25-000057), including warehouse-related traffic and emergency egress through Horizon Hills. No project approval or procurement action was taken by the CAB. The board discussed keeping its meetings monthly and proposed placing a recommendation on the next agenda; no vote on that proposal was recorded. No contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, purchasing decisions, or other procurement activity were identified.
