At its May 5 meeting, the Storey County Board of County Commissioners approved a slate of administrative and project items, including utility easements, a traffic engineering contract, code update direction, an RS2477 roads map, and multiple business-license approvals.
Planning Manager Kathy Canfield explained a Grant of Easement (File No. 2025-066) to NV Energy to allow electrical and communication facilities at APN 003-273-13 (500 Sam Clemens Ave, Mark Twain). The board approved the easement on a 3–0 vote.
The board approved a professional services agreement with GCW, Inc., not to exceed $95,000, to provide traffic engineering services addressing impacts to Waltham Way and streets west of USA Parkway tied to Tahoe Reno Industrial Center traffic; the motion passed 3–0.
Community Development Director Joseph Starnes requested direction to evaluate and prepare updates to Storey County Code Title 15 (Buildings and Construction) for future board consideration; commissioners directed staff to proceed. Planner Jessica Prager presented a map documenting adopted RS2477 roads located on public lands; the board approved the RS2477 map 3–0.
On real estate, County Manager Austin Osborne asked the board whether the county should continue leasing county-owned property to Divide Fitness at 800 South C Street after the current lease expires; the board directed staff to notify the existing lessee, prepare a draft lease (not to exceed three years with up to two-year renewal), appraise the property for fair market rent and prepare for bid while not bidding the lease out, in a motion that passed unanimously.
Finally, the board approved second readings and final approval of a package of business licenses (items A–J on the agenda) covering contractors, food service, and out-of-county businesses; the motion was approved 3–0. These routine administrative approvals were moved by Commissioner Mitchell and seconded by Commissioner Gilman.
