More Business Applications at City Hall   

There were two applications on deck at the Fallon City Council meeting Monday, continuing what has been a flurry of small business activity this summer.   

The council approved an application by Carina Alaniz for a liquor license for the new restaurant, Los Gallos, that will be located at 1770 W. Williams Avenue, after questions by Councilman James Richardson about the location of the bar inside what used to be the old Vin Pho building. Additionally, they approved a restricted gaming license for seven slot machines at the Golden Gate Petroleum station at 1625 West Williams Avenue. The new application will replace machines that were at the old Golden Gate facility before their expansion/remodel.   

During the meeting Mayor Ken Tedford also reported on the extensive power outage on the previous day, Sunday, caused when a pelican hit a power line near Lahontan Reservoir. He expressed appreciation to city crews and NV Energy staff who worked efficiently to bring the power back on.   

“It just goes to show you what a little something like that can do,” he said. “Small things like that, at the worst times when you have extreme use of electricity when the A/C is running and extreme heat. We got through that very quickly and our power team worked very hard from the water treatment plant to the traffic lights.”
