Interim City Manager Jerry Bryant presented the City of Yerington’s tentative budget for fiscal year 2026–27 at the April 13 council meeting, outlining $4,771,129 in combined available General Fund resources and a proposed schedule of public hearings ahead of final adoption.

Bryant said the tentative budget projects property tax revenue of $598,818 and consolidated tax receipts of $944,163. The document includes a proposed 2.5% salary and wage increase for most employees and recognizes adjusted Public Employees’ Retirement System contribution rates of 36.75% for general employees and 58.75% for police members.

The tentative budget message lists enterprise fund projections as well: the Water Fund shows net income of $278,150 for FY2026–27, while the Sewer Fund is budgeted at a net loss of $270,667. Capital expenditure items called out in the packet include $650,000 for pumps to support the California Well project and other capital needs across public works and parks.

Bryant said the tentative budget transmittal to the Nevada Department of Taxation was included in the packet and that the council will hold a public hearing on the tentative budget on May 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., with final adoption scheduled at a subsequent hearing. He encouraged members of the public to review supporting documents posted on the City of Yerington website or request copies from City Hall.

The meeting packet itemized revenues and expenditures in standard state budget schedules and noted contingency and debt service items. The budget message also states the city submitted federal appropriation requests that, if awarded, could reduce capital costs borne by ratepayers.

No formal vote to adopt a final budget occurred at the April 13 meeting; the council was presented the tentative budget and set the public hearing dates for additional public input and formal action.
