Requires the Washoe County Board of County Commissioners, Reno City Council and Sparks City Council to establish a board to study the creation of a county fire protection district within certain territory. (BDR S-1018)
SB 319 requires Washoe County, Reno, and Sparks to form a study board through a collaborative agreement. This board would examine creating a county-wide fire protection district covering unincorporated areas and city territories within Washoe County. The bill does not establish the district itself but mandates a formal study to assess feasibility and structure. It affects local governments by requiring them to initiate this planning process, with the study board needing approval from all participating entities. The summary focuses solely on the procedural requirement for the study, not on potential outcomes or district operations.
