City packet shows Schroeder Law contract for water-rights work tied to Libra Solar lease; appraisal may be needed
Summary
Schroeder Law Offices provided a summary letter and draft contract to advise the City of Yerington on leasing two water-permit rights to Libra Solar, LLC; the letter says an appraisal may be necessary and the draft contract (in packet) is valid through March 3, 2026; the council did not record a final vote on the contract at the meeting.
The meeting packet included a February 3, 2026 summary letter and a draft Contract for Legal Services from Schroeder Law Offices, P.C., addressed to Interim City Manager Jerry Bryant. The letter and contract describe the firm's proposed representation of the City of Yerington regarding water-right leasing opportunities with Libra Solar, LLC.
The letter states the city has negotiated a Water Lease Agreement with Libra Solar for Nevada Division of Water Resources Permits 85138 and 65229 and that the agreement is contingent on an appraisal of the water rights. Schroeder's letter says the firm can assist with developing an appraisal and advising on requirements under NRS Chapter 268 and related Nevada law. The draft contract sets hourly fee ranges for shareholders ($325–$525), associates ($180–$350), paralegals ($130–$250) and project assistants ($75–$150), and it states the contract is valid if signed and returned by March 3, 2026.
The council packet included the summary letter and contract text but the minutes do not record a motion or vote to approve the engagement on Feb. 9. No public action was recorded; the item remained listed on the agenda as "for possible action."
