Mayor Ken Tedford and Councilwoman Karla Kent took their oaths of office in a ceremony at City Hall before the first City Council meeting of the new year.

Tedford is the 14th mayor of the City of Fallon, which will celebrate 117 years of existence this year. During his brief remarks, Tedford expressed his love for Fallon and recognized several people he has worked with over the last 30 years, including Sen. Robin Titus, Rep. Mark Amodei, and former Gov., now University of Nevada President Brian Sandoval. He noted he has served alongside 14 council members during his tenure.

Tedford also quoted Colossians 3:12, a verse he reads daily: “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.”

Brennan Behimer provided the opening prayer, Summer Stanton sang the national anthem, and Russ Houcks gave the benediction.

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
