At its meeting the Board of Supervisors will vote to pass, on second reading, several new ordinances, including one to place a moratorium on applications for new construction for marijuana establishments until the state regulations on recreational pot are worked out and another on electronic message display signs that would allow Western Nevada College to place a sign on Carson Street.
