The Reno City Council took several unanimous actions Aug. 27 that will reshape advisory bodies and confirm new appointments.
Ordinances—repeals and housekeeping
Council adopted a package of municipal‑code repeals that transfer the listing and administration of some boards and commissions and remove obsolete local code articles.

Board and commission appointments
Council confirmed several appointments and reappointments during the meeting. Highlights: - Financial Advisory Board: council confirmed a nominee to fill a vacancy. - Planning, neighborhood and arts boards: multiple regular and alternate appointments were confirmed (see items G‑2 through G‑6 on the agenda). Appointments were made by the councilmember liaisons listed on the agenda and confirmed by unanimous vote.
Council recorded the votes as unanimous (6 yes, 0 no, 1 absent) on each motion; individual motion sponsors were those identified on the record by councilmembers when making the motions.
Ending
The council’s actions were largely procedural and administrative: they update the municipal code’s structure for advisory boards and confirm community volunteers to serve on local advisory bodies. Staff will implement the repeals and complete ministerial updates to the municipal code and to the records of boards and commissions.
