Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Meeting - July 13, 2026

The City of Reno Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board met on July 13, 2026, to discuss various redevelopment projects and programs. Key procurement-related topics included updates on the FY26 budget approval, upcoming capital improvement projects such as the riverfront path construction, and the review of bids for these projects. The board also deliberated on several resolutions related to activation and placemaking programs aimed at revitalizing public spaces within redevelopment areas. There was significant discussion about the appropriateness of using redevelopment funds for event sponsorships, particularly concerning the "Dancing in the Streets" program, which was ultimately recommended not to be supported under redevelopment statutes due to its nature as a single-day, recurring event. The board voted to approve resolutions related to physical improvement programs while tabling the broader activation program for further review. Additionally, the meeting included an overview of the city's legislative process and upcoming bill draft requests relevant to redevelopment and city operations.
