City Council June Update

The Fallon City Council convened last Tuesday, June 18, to address regular city business and review recent applications for various new food and beverage business licenses set to open within the city limits in the coming months. 

Jennifer Sobers' mobile food vendor license application was approved for Sober Family LLC Kona Ice of South Reno. The council also green-lighted Hailey Perez’s application for a mobile food vendor license for Freddie Ramos Little Snacks Mini Pancakes. Like Sobers', Perez’s license pertains solely to mobile food vending. 

Nancy Lopez’s application for a mobile bar and beverage license received approval for Suavecitos Mobile Bar & Events, which includes a liquor license restricted to the mobile bar setup. Lopez, who is currently licensed in Carson City, is gearing up to cater a private Quinceañera at the Fallon Convention Center. While the license was applied for to allow Lopez to cover this event, it will also enable her to serve at other events within the City of Fallon. 

The council considered only one non-mobile license application. Michael Porras is refurbishing the property at 203 S. Maine Street, where he plans to open his new drinking establishment, Street Golf. Porras described Street Golf as a golf-themed pub with a relatively small bar area without fixed seating. Instead of traditional bar seating, patrons will enjoy a "courses around the world" atmosphere, allowing families to engage in simulated golf experiences without visiting a local golf course. The City Council approved the application, with Mayor Tedford urging Porras to ensure that his staff is thoroughly trained to prevent underage drinking, given the fun, sports-like nature of the venue. Porras aims to open Street Golf later this summer. 

In additional business, Churchill County High School’s School-to-Career Coordinator, Dr. Sue Segura, updated the council on the student intern program, which now involves 38 local businesses. CCHS has also secured a $496,000 grant, ensuring the program's continuation for at least three more years. Dr. Segura announced that CCHS Back to School Night is scheduled for August 8 at 6 p.m. Details and agendas for the event are available at Fallon City Council’s official website. 

For the event, CCHS plans to serve Mamma’s Meats hamburgers and hotdogs to approximately 1,000 attendees, with an expected turnout of 1,400-1,600 people. Dr. Segura noted that 63 booths are planned, offering information on 33 different career and post-high school education and training opportunities. A top-secret motivational guest speaker will also share insights with students and families. 

The Fallon City Council meets twice a month on the first and third Tuesdays at 9 a.m.
