The Best Little G.I.D in the West
If you have gotten this far, you already know that we are "Stagecoach GID". What you may not know is what a GID is or what we do. The Nevada Legislator's revised statue 318 (NRS 318) contains thousands of words to describe a GID, what it can do, as well as how it can do those things. The following is a much shortened description.
A GID is a political organization having purposes, powers, rights, privileges and immunities (as prescribed by Nevada Law) to serve a community (District) to promote the health, safety, prosperity, security and general welfare of the inhabitants therein.
As to what we do, let’s look at our mission statement.
Some of our accomplishments
Now that you know what we are and what we do, let’s look at the people involved. First came the Board of Trustees, created by an ordinance passed May 10, 1984 by the Lyon County Commissioners. The five positions on the board are elective, filled by the voters of Stagecoach. While the Board is responsible for policy and direction, it is the four full time employees who run the GID and do all the work.
