Nevada Approves Washoe County’s Revised COVID-19 Reopening Plan
The state of Nevada and Gov. Steve Sisolak have approved Washoe County’s latest revision to its reopening plan. Under the plan, which is effective immediately, businesses are able to open at 100% capacity as long as they can provide social distancing.
Groups of up to 10 people can be seated at a restaurant. Events expecting more than 500 attendees can be approved with a safety plan.
Self-serve buffets and adult entertainment are to remain closed until June 1. That’s when all social distancing requirements are expected to be dropped statewide.
On Saturday, the state handed control of COVID-19 mitigation measures to most county jurisdictions, but not Washoe County. That’s because the plan Washoe County Commissioners submitted to the state COVID-19 task force late last week didn’t get approved. It wasn’t endorsed by the health district, school district or City of Reno.
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. The Incline Village General Improvement District Board of Trustees moved forward with a contract for legal counsel with Best, Best & Krieger during Wednesday’s meeting.
With the district’s history of being involved with lawsuits and that some residents have questioned the job the previous attorney had done, getting a good contract with BB&K was important for the district.
Josh Nelson with BB&K has been providing legal counsel to the board over the last year on a short-term contract. The new contract extends that for three years.
During the board’s Dec. 9 meeting, the board asked the contract to be reviewed by outside legal counsel.
