4 issues in parks rec with low priority
Public art purchase for the Metro Collection
The board will consider recommending the city spend up to $3,000 on artwork by 2026 Reno City Artist Joanna Drakos for the permanent public art collection. It's a small dollar figure, but it shapes what art residents see in public spaces.

Pawsitive Improvements Program
A pet relief area improvement program would be formally found compliant with NRS 279 and consistent with the Redevelopment Plan, with the Executive Director authorized to administer it.
