Yerington council unanimously backs three resolutions requesting federal appropriations for critical water and public safety needs
Summary
The council voted unanimously to approve three resolutions requesting federal appropriations for critical wastewater, drinking water and public safety projects (Resolutions 2026-01, 2026-02 and 2026-03); council grouped the requests and agreed to submit letters of support.
The Yerington City Council unanimously approved three separate resolutions on March 23 requesting federal appropriations for critical municipal needs: wastewater infrastructure (Resolution 2026-01), drinking water improvements (Resolution 2026-02) and public safety projects (Resolution 2026-03).
Interim City Manager Jerry Bryant asked that the three items be discussed together and then voted on separately. Councilmembers said the resolutions serve as letters of support to accompany federal funding requests to address system needs identified by staff.
Councilman Matthew Galvin moved to approve each resolution; motions were seconded and each resolution passed unanimously. No dollar amounts or specific projects were discussed in detail during the council votes; the items were described as supporting the city’s requests for appropriations to address critical needs.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with the formal appropriation requests and supporting materials to pursue federal funding opportunities; council will receive updates as proposals develop.
