The Dec. 13, 2023, R-C Morning Report

Genoa, Nev. — School board trustees argued over the recruitment of a new superintendent at around 8:30 p.m., I’m told. The R-C doesn’t have a full report, yet, but that will occur.

Two of the three items before the planning commission were delayed on Tuesday, which should have made for a short meeting, but a room full of Holbrook residents protesting the proposed RV Park in their community contributed to public comment. That hearing was withdrawn until next spring, maybe.

The 85-unit subdivision on 37 acres east of the Gardnerville Ranchos has been delayed a third time, now until to Jan. 9. Neighbors provided public comment for that also at Tuesday’s meeting.

Planning commissioners voted 7-0 to recommend rejections of a plan to ban vacation home rentals north of Cave Rock. The county staff did their best, but no one had anything favorable to say about the ordinance, including the folks distributing a petition to ban all VHRs in residential neighborhoods.

The county’s proposal to fund a new judicial center goes before the Debt Management Commission 9 a.m. today at the historic Douglas County Courthouse, 1616 Eighth St. The county is seeking $37 million as part of the financing.

I’ll follow up on a report of a 10:53 p.m. collision at Kimmerling Road and Verdi Way west of the Gardnerville Ranchos. CareFlight was called to transport a patient.

The low cloud deck is back this morning and will stick around until at least lunchtime. The good news is that it’s keeping the Valley warmer overnight, with this morning’s low in the 30s in some of the chilliest parts of the Valley.

The sun should show its face around 10 a.m. with skies mostly clear by 1 p.m. While the clouds are keeping us warm at night, they also will keep the high temperature down to around 44 degrees today. A light northerly breeze is expected this afternoon.
