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.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
