Board Of County Commissioners | Thursday, May 21, 2026

The Douglas County Nevada Board of County Commissioners held a meeting on May 21, 2026, which included a joint session with the Regional Transportation Commission. Key procurement-related discussions focused on the Muller Parkway Phase 2 construction project, where the board voted unanimously to pause construction until ongoing litigation is resolved and to issue a change order removing Phase 2 from the current contract with Qualcomm Incorporated. This action may require a future bidding process to select a new contractor if construction resumes. Additionally, the board reviewed and discussed the 2026 update to the 5-year Capital Improvement Project (CIP) plan related to the 2024 Douglas County Stormwater Master Plan. Staff presented detailed updates on multiple stormwater capital improvement projects, including recent grant awards totaling several million dollars, with county matching funds. The board deferred action on several stormwater-related agenda items to the following meeting to allow for further public input and staff review. Another notable procurement-related item was the approval of a $68,000 grant-funded public mural project at the Douglas County Community Arts Center, involving an internationally recognized artist, with no cost to the county. Public comments addressed concerns about stormwater fees, open meeting law compliance, and development agreements. The meeting also included procedural approvals such as agenda and minutes adoption and updates from commissioners on various community and arts initiatives.
