The Washoe County Commission approved the use of General Funds to cover unanticipated flood-related expenses. The January flood and the North Valleys flooding in February cost over $3 million. So far, Washoe County has not received any federal funding to offset these unexpected incidents. The county will take $1.4 million from the General Fund to cover a portion of the disaster and just over $205,000 to cover the additional mosquito spraying in affected areas, bringing the approved amount to transfer out of the General Fund to just over $1.6 million. The remaining $1.4 million disaster expense not covered, is expected to be absorbed through other funds, or by other spending deferals.
