CATT Members Meet with New Washoe County Commissioner
O
n March 7, a dozen CATT members met in Incline Village with new Washoe County Commissioner Marsha Berkbigler. Commissioner Berkbigler represents District 1, which includes part of West Reno (Caughlin Ranch, Lakeridge) and the Tahoe Basin portion of Washoe County. Commissioner Berkbigler was elected in November 2012 and took office in January 2013. CATT attendees gave some background information about themselves and then heard about Commissioner Berkbigler’s background and her opinion on TRPA, the Regional Plan and Area Plans, future improvements in county services, and more. Commissioner Berkbigler was very interested in the construction BMPs being developed by TRPA with local government and stated she wants to hear the industry’s perspective as those new regulations are being drafted. Other issues brought up during the meeting were affordable housing, green roofs, a bike path around the north shore, the Sierra Club lawsuit to stop the TRPA Regional Plan, Nevada’s future with TRPA, and mixed use zoning. At the conclusion of the meeting, Commissioner Berkbigler urged members to participate in the Area Plan process and communicate to her when issues arise.
