City Council discusses aquatic center financing and water rate adjustments; boards plan budgets, elections
Local government boards convened in late June for work sessions and regular meetings that covered long-range financing, salary adjustments, and officer elections. Agendas were released but meeting minutes have not yet been published, so final votes and decisions remain unavailable. The following is a summary of what was scheduled.
City Council
The City Council held a work session on June 23 to review financing for the aquatic center and city radios, along with possible updates to water and sewer rates and the personnel handbook. Council members also discussed proposed amendments to Chapter 28 concerning PFAS and commercial grinder pumps. A closed session was scheduled for personnel matters. No votes were on the agenda. On June 25 council members attended a social event, the Mayor’s Coffee, with no deliberation or action planned.
Housing Authority Board
The Housing Authority Board met on June 24 and again on June 26. Agendas called for action on several resolutions, including a cost-of-living salary adjustment for all full-time employees (Resolution 2190), adoption of the fiscal year 2027 operating budget ending June 30, 2027 (Resolution 2194), an operating budget revision for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026 (Resolution 2195), and adoption of revised bylaws, procurement, personnel, and occupancy policies. Resolutions to remove past-due accounts from the books and to adopt a revised personnel policy also appeared. Reports on occupancy, Section 8 utilization, and an HVAC project were scheduled. Minutes from these sessions are not yet public.
Park Board
On June 24 the Park Board’s regular session included the election of new officers, discussion of the Adopt-A-Park program, and consideration of a new park board application. The agenda also listed monthly financial recaps for the parks and the golf course, along with the chair’s and director’s reports.
Library Board
The Nevada Public Library Board met on June 25. Agenda items included election of board officers for the fiscal 2027 year and the reappointment of members Lucia Green, Julie Scotten, and Trisha Stubblefield. The board was set to review lease agreements for library building spaces — Suite B occupied by Healthy Nevada and space used by the Vernon County Historical Society’s Bushwhacker Museum — and to vote on proposed projects from the NPL Foundation. Financial reports were also scheduled.
NRMC Hospital Board
The NRMC Hospital Board of Directors convened on June 30 for administrative and financial reviews, along with committee updates. A closed executive session was planned to address specific legal and personnel matters.
Coming up
The next regular City Council meeting is set for July 7. Council members will consider an ordinance on personnel regulations, an interfund loan policy, and a resolution to finance aquatic center improvements through a lease purchase. Two equipment purchases are on the agenda: a Toro Procore 648S and a Groundsmaster 3500D. Appointments to the Park Board — Nani Wilde, Gabriel Franklin, and Jacob Duncan — will be up for approval, along with amendments to the Industrial Pretreatment Program.
