“...the second house passage is kind of like the last substantive deadline before second house passage. That's scheduled for tomorrow,” the staff member, identified in the meeting as Lucas, said during his report on bills the commission has been monitoring. Lucas said SB276 is a reporting bill concerning how certain discharges are reported down the chain and that it had come out of committee and was on second reading.

Lucas told commissioners the last day of the regular session is June 2 and that staff are continuing to monitor water-related legislation. He said WRWC's legislative subcommittee limited the commission's formal position this session to SB276.

Commissioners had no questions during the update and the commission moved on to program updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Western Regional Water Commission | May 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","WRWC staff reported that the 2025 Nevada legislative session is near adjournment; the commission's legislative subcommittee directed staff to take a position on SB276, a reporting bill related to certain discharges, and staff said the session's second-house deadline was the following day.","taxTitle","Washoe County, Nevada","taxId",2669,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6525420,"WRWC staff announces web subscription, RAFTELUS wastewater regionalization kickoff and outreach partnerships",215,874795,1090019,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3445636-42b965208813852ad54d0cba388d627d&start=874&end=1090","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3445636-42b965208813852ad54d0cba388d627d/thumbnail_874795.jpg","/articles/6525420/Washoe-County/Nevada/WRWC-staff-announces-web-subscription-RAFTELUS-wastewater-regionalization-kickoff-and-outreach-partnerships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525420-2b2b329bf2087dacfd7584589533be40/orig.mp4?Expires=1770743897&Signature=fHE8KcsfOkzl351xxT~KyLZKNC8tLfvCn8MmQUk6qwx0rBscWFa-FUaHGGvYRxLCnDv-TrH2~n5VuokE8-gVkleeX0doGBqzx7NoqHlNrsnPQSthETWycgsDPfLzjdI7y~EAgFmbENA9Xwu6ZmLiNIsxUWww3~vDy5UYGVv8LBfNnYz4aZo4p7J3F2Vi8i0R4qE5WyFRLHeLPZCYo~vKk4xoLTAi5aVnKNjFrzh9n9gbP3DjAfPNU2P4HBssZ-9ncw2RrOjKAKwps-B5rfwskphw1SczXECt3snsuf2bMES6uIJ-U0fUs6wQSZXTBl6RADFNz4JXlCpZj0yAVekYTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kim Rigdon, WRWC program manager, updated the commission May 20 on several outreach and program activities, including a new subscription feature on the commission website, the full execution of a RAFTELUS wastewater regionalization professional services agreement and outreach meetings with regional partners.

“...we automatically included all the board members into the subscription. So you don't need to do anything,” Rigdon said, describing the Mailchimp-based subscription service that will notify board members and the public about workshops, meetings and education events.

Rigdon said the RAFTELUS wastewater regionalization professional services agreement has been fully executed and a kickoff meeting is scheduled for June 5. She said staff met with Laura Elmore, senior development officer at the Discovery Museum (Children's Museum), to discuss possible curriculum partnerships for water-related, science-based education. Rigdon also said she met with the executive director of the Western Nevada Development District to increase visibility of WRWC projects and coordinate moving forward with regional partners.

Rigdon told commissioners the Nevada Water Innovation Institute presentation planned for the meeting was postponed to July because the institute's three-year proposal scope of work was not yet ready. She said the institute will assist with mapping tools and website content for the regional water management plan update.

Commissioners offered praise for the outreach work and directed staff to continue coordinating with regional partners and to confirm email subscription receipt for board members.","Program manager Kim Rigdon told commissioners the commission launched a website subscription service, will begin a RAFTELUS wastewater regionalization contract kickoff on June 5, and is exploring outreach partnerships with the Discovery Museum and regional development groups.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6525425,"Western Regional Water Commission adopts $3.4 million fiscal 2026 budget",751,453865,1205445,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3445636-42b965208813852ad54d0cba388d627d&start=453&end=1205","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3445636-42b965208813852ad54d0cba388d627d/thumbnail_453865.jpg","/articles/6525425/Washoe-County/Nevada/Western-Regional-Water-Commission-adopts-34-million-fiscal-2026-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525425-dfb452c4f6c142200333649a9b5f029a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770743897&Signature=d43M2Lo-ZVKUpzJ2bmZ4rEyDvNozpvwtYKRdaSyfTV~SGh48jqoBBiRCyhlCCYuBa~rdiEOdMRBSrFU1zaRSGuUTiJKxRUWCml-DDgAVEcHu5~0jFcqfVxZtHIXjE2OeJWynyEr1-ftxGPt9mPBujymepOqpViLbqcCR0DsfKActBSkPCn7c0uGpXc3QHPOrc3VfWn0qO18ogyOEgyWnE8oPm2-~49ncM4OtAgsTvGnClWoSOvsCqvMQ9NTtFnZvc0OG-d9VzWv7HL4OzGkBidg4uI4Hl-D6HJDBGIfBFstNWpGfxYgiNdPIIEZPDo3QvDfHXWC3xkzWij-18qdsyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Western Regional Water Commission approved its fiscal year 2026 budget at its May 20 meeting, with staff saying projected expenditures total $3.4 million and the budget would leave an estimated $543,750 in the commission's fund balance.

Kim Rigdon, WRWC staff, presented the budget materials and told commissioners that the Nevada Department of Taxation reviewed the commission's tentative budget and “had no findings for our tentative budget,” meaning the commission may submit the tentative document as the final budget upon approval. Rigdon said projected revenues for fiscal 2026 are $1,900,000 and the estimated beginning fund balance is $1,900,000.

The budget presentation included a breakdown of professional services contracts, operational costs and staff services. Rigdon said the commission retains a practice of keeping six months of operating expenses in reserve.

Commissioners praised the clarity of the professional services breakdown and asked one follow-up question about investment earnings, noting those earnings are projected to be lower than in prior years. Rigdon said she would follow up with the fiscal office to clarify the change in investment earnings. A public hearing on the budget drew no public comment.

After discussion the budget was treated as approved and staff asked commissioners to sign the document so it could be submitted to the Department of Taxation for final processing.

The commission also handled routine board business at the same meeting: the agenda and the April 16, 2025 minutes were approved by unanimous voice vote earlier in the session.","The Western Regional Water Commission approved its fiscal year 2026 budget on May 20, projecting $3.4 million in expenditures, $1.9 million in revenues, and a $543,750 ending fund balance; staff will submit the final budget to the Nevada Department of Taxation.","actionData","errors"]
