Genoa, Nev. — No one turned out to comment on the approval of the trash rate increase approved by Gardnerville on Tuesday night. They re-read a comment they got on the issue back in May into the record. Both Gardnerville and Minden operate their own trash service as enterprise funds, which means they have to support themselves.
Genoans will discuss parking issues on Mill and Nixon streets and possibly picking the art for the 2021 Candy Dance poster. The Town Board meets 5:30 p.m. today in the Genoa Town Hall.
They’ll be talking pavilions in Minden 5:30 p.m. today at the CVIC Hall on Esmeralda Avenue. The town board will discuss projects for pavilions at Jakes Wetlands and at Westwood Park. Also the visitor’s authority is proposing more wayfinding signage.
