COMMISSION CHAMBERS
1001 E. 9TH STREET, BUILDING A, RENO, NEVADA
FEBRUARY 28, 2024
9:00 A.M.
Possible Changes to Agenda and Timing: Items on the agenda may be taken out of order, combined with other items, removed from the agenda, or moved to the agenda of another meeting. Items with a specific time designation will not be heard prior to the stated time but may be heard later. The Board may take short breaks approximately every 90 minutes.
Public Comment: Public comments are welcomed during the public comment periods at the beginning and end of the meeting for all matters, whether listed on the agenda or not, and are limited to three (3) minutes per person per public comment period. Additionally, public comment of three minutes per person will be heard during individually numbered items designated as "for possible action" on the agenda. Public comment during individual action items must be relevant to the particular item being considered.
Members of the public may also submit comments by email to clerkboard@washoecounty.gov. The Board will make reasonable efforts to send all comments received by 4:00pm on February 27, 2024 by email to the Board members prior to the meeting.
Responses to Public Comments: The Board of Equalization can deliberate or take action only if a matter has been listed on an agenda properly posted prior to the meeting. The Open Meeting Law does not expressly prohibit responses to public comments by the Board. However, responses from Board members to unlisted public comment topics could become deliberation on a matter without notice to the public. To avoid this situation and to ensure the public has notice of all matters the Board will consider, members may choose not to respond to public comments except to correct factual inaccuracies, ask for County staff action, or ask that a matter be listed on a future agenda. The Board may do this either during the public comment item or during the following item: “Board Member Comments: This item is limited to announcements or topics/issues proposed for future agendas.”
Forum Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business: The Board of Equalization conducts the business of Washoe County and its citizens during its meetings. The presiding officer may order the removal of any person whose statement or other conduct disrupts the orderly, efficient or safe conduct of the meeting. Warnings against disruptive comments or behavior may or may not be given prior to removal. The viewpoint of a speaker will not be restricted, but reasonable restrictions may be imposed upon the time, place, and manner of speech. Irrelevant and unduly repetitious statements and personal attacks which antagonize or incite others are examples of speech that may be reasonably limited.
Posting of Notice and Agenda: Pursuant to NRS 241.020(4)(b), the Agenda for the Board of Equalization has been posted at the Washoe County Administration Building (1001 E. 9th Street, Building A, Reno, Nevada) and has been electronically posted at https://www.washoecounty.gov/clerks/brm/board_committees/boe/index.php and https://notice.nv.gov.
