The Fernley City Council approved funding and agreements for a set of public‑art projects tied to the Murals, Music and Margaritas festival.
Jamie Daniels with Fernley Aces presented plans for site-specific murals: a veterans‑themed central mural at the Out of Towne Park gazebo, era‑appropriate sepia murals for the depot restroom, two dugout murals funded by the Little League, and a concession‑building wrap funded by the Fernley Community Foundation. Daniels identified local artists proposed for the projects and said the total city funding request was $6,500.
Skye Long (speaker 15) summarized travel‑and‑tourism numbers and positioned the festival as an economic driver and day‑trip attraction for Fernley. Council members praised the theme selection and the emphasis on veterans and local history.
