Hello, neighbors! It's me again, Rachel Kilimnik, your host of the Reno Daily.
First, today's weather:
Sunny. High: 60 Low: 31.
Here are the top stories today in Reno:
- The Washoe County Board of County Commissioners approved new district maps in a special meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 1, and the Reno City Council adopted a new ward map at a council meeting. The new district map approved in Washoe County moves Wadsworth from District 4 into District 5. District 5 includes the North Valleys as well as areas around Pyramid Lake.
Mogul and Verdi will move from District 5 into District 1, which includes Incline Village and West Reno. Washoe County added about 65,000 residents since the last census count in 2010.

Lawson said that's why he's envisioning a new Sparks — one where people reside near the river instead of industry. Decades from now, Lawson envisions the Truckee River in Sparks as a high-density population center, with homes, apartments, local businesses, and people. (KRNV My News 4)
- Sparks Police are looking for the man they say stole a ring from a jewelry store. It happened just before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Zales Jewelers at the Outlets at Legends. Store staff told officers the suspect ran out of the store with a ring valued at more than $7,100. (KOLO)
