City of Fernley Public Meeting

The City of Fernley held a public meeting on August 20, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a legislative bill draft request for the 2027 Nevada legislative session to enable small municipalities to finance capital infrastructure equipment through the Nevada State Infrastructure Bank. The council approved this proposal to address financing gaps for infrastructure support equipment. Additionally, the council adopted the 2026 Sewer Master Plan, outlining long-term wastewater system improvements and capital projects, including maintenance, capacity upgrades, and treatment plant enhancements. The meeting also covered approval of a minor conditional use permit process with reduced fees to support small business development, and discussion of the 2027 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, proposing projects such as water treatment plant NEPA compliance, a community needs assessment, and park infrastructure improvements. Public input was solicited on the South Fernley Area Plan, a long-range land use and infrastructure plan, which was subsequently adopted by resolution. Motions related to these procurement and planning items were unanimously approved by the council.
