Yerington council approves bills, Planning Commission report and Public Works emergency plan
Summary
The council unanimously approved the consent agenda including bills and minutes, accepted the Planning Commission 2025 annual report and adopted an updated Public Works Emergency Response Plan, with motions moved by Councilman Beaton and others.
At its Feb. 9, 2026 meeting, the Yerington City Council voted unanimously to approve routine business and two staff reports.
The consent agenda — which included previously submitted bills (check ranges listed in the packet) and minutes from recent meetings — was moved by Councilman Nick Beaton, seconded by Councilman Omar Lopez and approved unanimously. The packet listed Checks #41447 through #41493 totaling $176,588.82 for one consent item and referenced previously approved checks totaling $184,498.86 in earlier minutes; the minutes show the council approved billing and payroll items as presented.
Council also accepted the Planning Commission's 2025 Annual Report after Building Inspector and Planning Commission President Steve Douglas summarized commission membership and the Master Plan update. Councilman Beaton moved approval; Councilman Lopez seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Public Works Director Paul Shapiro presented a rewritten Emergency Response Plan describing staff call lists, four municipal wells, monthly water testing and bilingual (English/Spanish) boil-water notices. Councilman Shane Martin moved to approve the ERP, Councilman Beaton seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The ERP adoption clarifies emergency contacts and bilingual public-notification procedures; accepting the Planning Commission report keeps the Master Plan process on schedule.
Next steps: Staff will implement the ERP and continue monthly/quarterly planning updates as scheduled.
