County BCC meetings now include public legislation discussions led by Cadence Matejevich

Washoe County is enhancing transparency in its legislative engagement, as confirmed during the recent South Truckee Meadows/Washoe Valley Community Advisory Board meeting. Starting in January, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) will include a dedicated agenda item in every meeting to discuss legislation that may impact the county. This initiative, led by government affairs liaison Cadence Matejevich, aims to keep the public informed about the county's positions on various legislative matters.

The process allows for open discussion among commissioners regarding potential actions—whether to support, oppose, or take no action on specific legislation. This structured approach is designed to eliminate uncertainty about the county's legislative priorities and decisions.

Additionally, there was mention of a task force established by Governor Lombardo focused on election efficacy and accuracy. While the county plans to engage with this task force, details on its findings and how they will be communicated through the Secretary of State's office are still pending.

This commitment to transparency and proactive engagement reflects Washoe County's dedication to keeping its residents informed and involved in local governance. As these initiatives unfold, community members can expect clearer insights into how legislative actions may affect their lives.
