CAB bylaws and boundary update shifts one CAB area fully into District 1 to simplify appointments
Summary
Staff told the CAB that a boundary map and bylaw revisions move a small CAB area from a split assignment between Districts 1 and 5 to be wholly in District 1, clarifying which commissioner appoints CAB members and adding attendance/absence rules.
Staff reported that the CAB boundary map and bylaws were updated to align with county code and to make appointments easier. The change moves a small CAB area that previously sat between Districts 1 and 5 to be fully within District 1 so one commissioner — rather than two — will handle appointments.
Staff explained the bylaw changes clarify roles and attendance rules: CAB chairs are responsible for tracking attendance and a pattern of three consecutive absences can lead to automatic removal if not excused. Staff also said the CAB must have a quorum for its meetings to count as an official community meeting; without quorum the meeting is ended.
Members asked staff to confirm who lives in a small rectangle on the map and were shown how to use the Washoe regional mapping system to view fire districts, school zoning and city limits. Staff offered to follow up with specific resident counts and to resend the updated materials to members who did not receive the agenda packet.
