Ward 5 Neighborhood Advisory Board Meeting - August 11, 2026

The City of Reno's Ward 5 Neighborhood Advisory Board met on August 11, 2026, to discuss various community and infrastructure topics. Key procurement-related discussions included a major site plan review for the construction of two 400,000-gallon water tanks by Tama, with the developer Toll Brothers funding the project without city or public funds. The board also received a detailed update from the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) on road infrastructure projects, funding challenges due to increased electric vehicle usage, and a ballot advisory question regarding potential fees on electric and hybrid vehicles to support road maintenance. The RTC highlighted ongoing and upcoming projects with varying budgets, including the Southeast Connector ($276 million) and Meadowwood Mall rehabilitation ($1.7 million). The meeting included discussions on transportation funding, infrastructure improvements, and community safety initiatives, but no direct contract awards or vendor selections were made during this session.
