County commissioners will hear presentations from the American Wild Horse Campaign and the Bureau of Land Management to open today’s meeting 1 p.m. at the CVIC Hall. You can go or watch online by visiting douglascountynv.gov and clicking agendas and meetings.
Minden Town Board members approved a 3 percent merit raise after giving Town Manager JD Frisby a glowing evaluation. The only mention of the siren at Wednesday’s meeting was Board Member Steve Thaler citing it for the reason he paused during a thought on something else entirely.

It’s likely we’ll learn the identity today of the intruder shot and killed in Topaz Ranch Estates on Tuesday. Wednesday’s intruder in the Ranchos was taken into custody on a burglary charge after being treated.
Expect sunny skies with a high temperature of 82 degrees with the wind out of the southwest 15-20 mph this afternoon gusting to 30 mph. It will cool down into the low 70s over the weekend.
