Genoa, Nev. — Minden-Gardnerville Sanitation District trustees approved a 60 percent rate increase to take effect Jan. 1. Even with the increase, the district won’t be charging as much as the county. Three people gave public comment in person and three were read into the record. The district serves the towns of Minden, Gardnerville and the Gardnerville Ranchos.

Minden Town Board members are scheduled to hear a report from their attorney Ryan Russell on Senate Bill 391 that silenced the siren. The town board meets 5:30 p.m. today in the CVIC Hall.

Over in Genoa, town board members are scheduled to discuss merging with the Genoa Historic District Commission at 5:30 p.m. in the Genoa Town Hall.

When your phone starts blowing up at 11:20 a.m. today, it’s just a test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System. The test will include alerts on cell phones, radios, and televisions across the United States.

Even as the vacation home rental ordinance comes under pressure, a new online service at harvesthosts.com is allowing RVers to rent a spot on private property. A check of their map shows one south of Fish Springs Road in Carson Valley.

The forecast calls for mostly sunny skies, though Tuesday was cloudier than anticipated. Maybe it’ll be sunny today, with a forecast high temperature of 71 degrees.
