Genoa, Nev. — School board trustees will discuss the search for a new superintendent and selecting a new member of the school board in the wake of Tony Magnotta’s resignation, among other things. The school board meets 4 p.m. at the Douglas High School Median Center.
I thought the 85-unit subdivision on the eastern boundary of the Gardnerville Ranchos was going to be the most controversial topic before planning commissioners today, but it seems like the proposal to ban vacation home rentals north of Cave Rock might give it some competition.
Planning commissioners are also discussing a special use permit and design review for a 250-unit RV campground at Reese Lane and Highway 395 near Holbrook Junction. Planning commissioners meet 1 p.m. today at the Douglas County Courthouse. Follow online at www.douglascountynv.gov
