INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. The Incline Village General Improvement District Board of Trustees on Thursday voted to raise beach venue rates.
The rate increases include adult daily beach guest access, kayak storage, paddleboard storage, daily boat launch fees, and season pass watercraft launch fees.
For the daily beach guest access price, there were previously peak and nonpeak season prices. Staff recommends just charging one price, $15 throughout the whole year.
Kayak storage would increase from $250 to $275 and paddleboard storage would increase from $175 to $195.
General Manager Indra Winquest said there are 900 spots for paddleboards and kayaks in storage and an extensive waiting list for spots. However, he said many of those spots remain empty throughout the season, with people are not using them.
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. The Incline Village General Improvement District Board of Trustees on Wednesday will reconsider the utility rate increase they deferred last year due to COVID-19.
The district’s 2020 Utility Rate Study recommended a utility rate increase of 5.5% which the board approved in Feb. 2020. However, a public hearing had to be held to finalize the increase which was scheduled for April, after stay-at-home orders were put in place because of the pandemic. For that reason, the board decided to defer the rate increase.
The adjusted budget for 2020/21 with the increase removed showed a difference of $708,000.
Now, the board must decide how to proceed with the utility rate for fiscal year 2021/22. Options include moving forward with 5.5% increase which would need to be approved after a public hearing. If approved, it would go into effect on April 19, 2021.
