This Monday, City Council met for a few orders of business. 


Council members held a public hearing for the Bill 786, which they introduced last meeting. Bill 786 will annex around one-half acres of county property to become city property. The half-acre contains CC Communications’s yard and structures on it. Legal and Administrative Assistant Erquiaga said the parcel being annexed would allow all of CC Communications’s operations and utilities to be consolidated into the city.


A city resident, Geof Knell, asked during the public hearing if the city’s new property should have another building on it. Mayor Tedford clarified that the city would simply be annexing the property and is not a part of any of CC Communications’s decisions to build a building or not.


Councilwoman Frost moved to approve the bill. Councilman Richardson seconded the motion, and the bill passed unanimously.


A contract for Atkins NorthAmerica Inc. was also on the agenda this week. The contract was for the engineering design and bidding services for the Relocation of Taxiway G at the Fallon Municipal Airport. The project would not exceed $60,000. Of that, 93.75% of the amount would be paid by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and 6.25% paid by the City.


Legal and Administrative Assistant Erquiaga said this was an improvement project requested from the FAA. Erquiaga also mentioned that it was possible the FAA would fund one-hundred percent of the project, depending on what happened in the legislative sessions.


Councilwoman Kent moved to approve the bill. Councilman Richardson seconded the motion, and the bill passed unanimously.


There were no staff reports or executive sessions this week.


Public minutes and agendas are accessible on the City of Fallon website. For more detailed information see: https://www.fallonnevada.gov/archived-meeting-agendas/  
The next meeting of the Fallon City Council is scheduled for Monday, February 16th, at 9 a.m., at City Hall, 55 W. Williams Avenue, Fallon. The Fallon City Council normally meets on the first and third Mondays of each month.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
