# Ward 1 Neighborhood Advisory Board Meeting  - October 12, 2026

The City of Reno Ward 1 Neighborhood Advisory Board met on October 12, 2026. Council liaison Kathleen Taylor reported that the city had made approximately $6 million in capital improvements on University East streets, $4.5 million in Rivermount streets and sewer work, and $2.28 million in sewer rehabilitation covering about six miles; the transcript’s wording around the first two figures is somewhat unclear. She also said the City Council had budgeted for six additional police officers. No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or procurement-related votes were reported.

The board received presentations on Reno Fire Department operations and the City’s FY 2027–2029 strategic plan, which the City Council adopted in August. The plan includes goals related to infrastructure maintenance and capital improvement planning, regional fire services, and fiscal stewardship, including managing contracts and agreements and assessing city assets. The fire chief discussed a regional fire study and potential options for dedicated fire funding that could involve future state legislation; these were under consideration, not approved actions. The meeting also covered development-review feedback and public engagement. No new purchasing or contracting action was identified.
