Lyon County advisory board approves agenda and minutes; discusses park upgrades and AYSO lighting request
Summary
The Lyon County Citizen Advisory Board approved its April 8 agenda and March minutes, reviewed open board vacancies, and discussed 2025 tabled proposals to use Residential Construction Tax funds for park upgrades and a request from AYSO for six portable lights estimated at $53,000.
The Lyon County Citizen Advisory Board met April 8, 2026, approved the meeting agenda and the March 11 minutes, reviewed open board vacancies and listed several 2025 tabled items that may return to a future agenda, including park upgrades and a request from a local youth soccer organization for portable lighting.
Board member Tommy Purvis moved to approve the agenda; the motion was seconded and passed, recorded 3-0. The board later approved the March 11, 2026 minutes by the same 3-0 vote after a motion by Purvis.
The minutes record a report on current Lyon County advisory-board vacancies and state the board is "looking for one more board member." The recorder provided a contact for applications and questions: Lyon County staff member Martha Tapia, (775) 463-6531, mtapia@lyon-county.org; the county maintains both a regular application and an e-signature option online.
Under a grouped item of tabled matters from 2025, the board recorded two recommendations for possible use of Residential Construction Tax funds: upgrading equipment at the Dayton Skate Park at Como Park, and adding more grass to the outfield at Silver Stage Park to create additional space for a football field. The minutes do not record any decision to allocate funds or a timeline for those projects; they remain items that the board "may want to be added to future agendas."
Also listed among tabled items, AYSO in Dayton requested six portable lights, with an estimated cost of $53,000. The minutes record the request but do not show staff cost estimates, a funding source commitment, or a formal vote on the request during this meeting.
No staff members attended in person. The recorder played a portion of an April 2 Lyon County Commissioners meeting and the minutes state the commissioners adopted the Master Plan that this advisory board had previously approved. Board members noted an upcoming May agenda item that will include action items tied to the Master Plan, including bids and estimates for implementation.
The board recorded a reminder that mandatory Citizen's Advisory Boards training is scheduled for April 11, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. There were no public comments during either public-participation period. The meeting adjourned at 5:11 p.m.
What happens next: the minutes indicate park funding proposals and the AYSO lighting request remain tabled for possible future agendas; the board expects action items on Master Plan implementation at its May meeting.
