Seems like IVGID is rushing the admin office change through way too fast. With as much money is involved, seems like there should be a more deliberative process, with better vetting of the proposal.

the IVGID meetings are now a joke and a complete waste of time givcen that comments can only be made at the beginning and end. It is basically a politburo situation now. Just lets Chair Wong and GM pinkerton collude and continue going their undemocratic way in secret. WRT the parasol purchase, that is the most nonsensical move ever. It is also quite a coincidence that one of the leading lights in Parasol has the same surname as the IVGID Finance Director..... It is past time to drain the swamp. I applaud Trustee Dent for at least making an effort to get community input

I think the $5.5M could be better spent on street repairs---especially ski way and other infrastrusture repairs

This survey is totally without Merit relative to the need for improvement of administrative buildings. Without more information regarding the perceived need, which I'm sure has been discussed prior to this time, one has no way of actually expressing a legitimate opinion on the subject. Barring that information, I chose to assume that discussion has been held in some forum and the board has concluded that the change is needed for legitimate reasons I providing service to get residence.

IVGID should not be spending any more money upgrading their offices. The proposed raise for the head of IVGID should not be approved. IVGID should stop looking for ways to spend additional tax payer dollars. I am not in favor of spending tax money on bike trails at Diamond Peak. IVGID needs to be closely controlled by the tax payers - through the trustees. All agenda items which might lead to higher taxes need to be commented on, and questioned by, the tax payers. Also, all trustees must push back against all proposed tax increases.

I have watched pretty much every BOT meeting via the Livestream about the issue of what to do with the Parasol building. It has been nothing less than confusing, mostly because the BOT have never come straight out and said "this is is the situation, these are the options, these are the concerns" especially from a legal standpoint...at least not that I have seen. I understand the problem with having public comments at meetings and can honestly say that neither of our recent processes are the answer. I would suggest a hybrid. Offer public comment before and after the meeting and for each agenda meeting. But to protect everyone's sanity limit the total number of comments that any individual can make during a meeting. This way they have to pick what is most important to them, or they can use their limited time time slots to address all their thoughts/concerns. And possibly shorten the public comment section for each agenda item as well to keep things tight.

I am interested in securing the Parasol Building for the Admin Office. Can the asking price or terms be negotiated. Can the property where the existing building be sold and used for the purchase. How much is the property worth. Can Washoe County also be housed in the Parasol building and their building sold to pay some of the cost. Can you fund raise to find a home for Senior and Children's programs. It seems like it would be a wonderful place to house IVGID admin, Washoe County admin, a Senior and Children Program locations. Thank you for finding creative ways to finance the project. Then I would be willing to pay some of the costs through IVGID fees.

I might be able to consider the purchase of the building if the non profit was removed and not involved in any way. Water, sewer, and recreation!

Would love an online way to make public comments about agenda topics that are coming up. Agenda would be distributed a week before the meeting in an online format, with ways to provide constructive solutions and feedback.

If recreational center improvements are part of admin building then do. Rec center is way too small with way to many staff offices

I once went to an IVGID meeting to ask for help with WCSD and to ask you to help us, the residents, present a united front to them. I missed the public comment at the beginning by 1 minute and then sat through 3 and a half hours of meeting presentations while paying a babysitter at home for my 3 young children. After 3 1/2 hours, you were not even CLOSe to 1/2 way through your agenda... there way no way to justify me staying- and I had completely wasted my entire evening. I urge IVGID to look into other public entities to see how they run their meetings. A TIMED public question/comment per agenda item is common practice. Please reinstate.

The upgrade seems logical, but the price seems way too high.

IVGID has a smaller population today and fewer school age children than 10 years ago (according to GM Pinkerton). Why exactly does IVGID need more space today than it did 10 years ago. IVGID does not need new offices. If there is an estimate of what the incremental carrying cost of the new lease is I have not seen it. Put another way, how much will our yearly assessment go up?

Way too much money to spend on an office relocation...and for what benefits? Will having new offices result in better decisions by the board? It seems like we have far bigger projects we should be spending our money on, rather than giving the board a fancier office building. Just my two cents.

IVGID badly needs new offices - the Parasol lease modification appears to be an effective way to get them expeditiously.

Just like the last trustee election cycle, there seems to be lots of information being shared by citizens via various social media sites. And it is really hard to tell fact from fiction, in part because IVGID officials (staff and trustees) choose to NOT engage in the conversations. I think this is a mistake. The trustee meetings are NOT effective at communicating with citizens. There are LOTS of ways to improve communication, but IVGID needs to choose to engage with the citizens where and when citizens are alaready talking....in social media.
