The Carson City Board of Supervisors is seeking applications from people interested in serving on the Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife, the Library Board of Trustees and the Culture and Tourism Authority.

“We value the input of all our boards and commissions,” Carson City Mayor Lori Bagwell previously told the Appeal. “Their work provides opportunities for community input and helps shape our decisions as the Board of Supervisors.”

There are four openings for three-year terms that will expire in July 2027.

“The upcoming appointments of new members to the Carson City Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife will be the appointment of a qualified person to represent the interests of the sportsman, rancher, farmer. Applicants must be a registered voter as well as a resident of Carson City,” the city said in a news release.

All members will serve without compensation. Applications will be accepted until May 22. Interviews for the volunteer positions are tentatively planned for the regularly scheduled Board of Supervisors meeting June 6.

Applications will be accepted until May 22. Interviews are tentatively planned for the supervisors meeting June 6.
