Following are comments I wrote 01/04/2017 but was unable to give at the BOS Meeting as I was home sick with a cold. Given the article in the Nevada Appeal today, I believe they are still timely:

So, my brother, Rex, and I were talking the other day about whether or not I was going to be attending the next Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting.

The Silver Oak development is well into its second decade and there are dozens of lots left. The Shulz Ranch development has started its second decade without a single house built. The very large Lompa Ranch development has been passed by the planning board without any input from the public. And now, our wonderful planning board has passed a massive development project that will totally consume every square inch of open space on the West side.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors approved changes to a plan for the Lompa Ranch development that allow a mix of higher-density residences, including apartments, condominiums and single-family homes.

The Carson City Planning Commission approved changes to plans for Lompa Ranch that could add apartments, condominiums and smaller lots for single-family homes to the development. The commission passed ...

Here's the speech made Wednesday by Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell at the 2016 Chamber of Commerce State of the City address held at Gold Dust West:

This is a snowy day photograph by Bob Wilkie at Random Nevada. This photo was taken last winter at about 1755 East Fifth Street. The location was at the Lompa Ranch in Carson City.

The Lompa Ranch has a long history in Carson City. It's a large ranch and fine open area for this (now) much more urbanized area, and the ranch extends all the north to the rear of the Gold Dust West on Highway 50.

Traffic was rerouted earlier tonight at 5th Street and Saliman Road after a break at the prison in which gun shots were fired, according to multiple calls to dispatch.

The incident began at around 6 tonight where prison officials from the Nevada Department of Corrections Warm Springs Corrections Facility reported a prisoner that broke free in the Lompa Ranch area. The prisoner took off running and may have been met by a white van picking him up that was intercepted.

The prison facility is located at 3301 East Fifth Street.
