Sky Tavern’s 99 year lease (Reno City Council Meeting 10.21.26)

This City of Reno City Council recap concerns the October 21, 2026 meeting. The primary item discussed was a proposal to extend Sky Tavern’s lease of city-owned property through October 31, 2118—the maximum 99-year term—to support long-term planning and fundraising for improvements. Sky Tavern’s leadership said it is developing a general master plan with SE Group to guide future recreation-site improvements. The recap did not report whether the lease extension was approved or identify a vote, contract amount, or other spending commitment. It also referenced a Scion Park public art project involving Jason Butler, and said Council upheld planning approvals for pedestrian skyways near J Resort and a master plan amendment and zoning change for Hillside Church.

The episode previewed a November 4 Council agenda that may include a consultant agreement for final design of the North Valleys corporation yard and grants or in-kind donations for Reno Police Department equipment; these were upcoming items, not decisions reported at this meeting. No specific procurement award or dollar amount was identified in the recap.
