The Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Meeting - August 3, 2026

The City of Reno Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board met on August 3, 2026, to discuss various redevelopment projects and agency operations. Key procurement-related updates included the progress on the Amtrak station renovation, the transition to a new parking operator expected by September 1st, and capital improvements such as new Riverwalk banners. The board also reviewed the status of the Lear Theater project, noting that funding was pulled from agency reserves to support it, a decision that sparked discussion about the board's role and communication with the Redevelopment Agency Board. Additionally, the board appointed representatives to the Skyway Design Review Committee, which reviews new skyway projects. The meeting highlighted concerns about the advisory board's influence on politically motivated projects and the need for better engagement between the advisory board and the agency board. No new contracts or vendor selections were directly approved during this meeting, but ongoing procurement activities and capital projects were discussed.
