Votes at a glance: Storey County board approves proclamations, MOUs, licenses, contracts and ordinance first reading
Summary
At its April 7 meeting the Storey County Board approved the meeting agenda, a public‑safety proclamation, multiple consent items and claims, an MOU with sheriff’s office employees, liquor and business license readings, a DOWL task‑order amendment and a first reading of a parks ordinance; most votes were unanimous 3‑0.
The Storey County Board of County Commissioners took a series of procedural and action items by unanimous vote during its April 7 meeting in Virginia City. Key board actions included:
- Approve the April 7 meeting agenda (motion passed 3‑0). - Proclaim April 12–18, 2026, as National Public Safety Telecommunications Week in Storey County (motion passed 3‑0). - Approve the consent agenda, including numerous business license first readings and claims in the amount of $15,882,994.53 (motion passed 3‑0). - Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Storey County Sheriff’s Office Employees’ Association / NAPSO to amend group benefits provisions of the 2024–2027 collective bargaining agreement (motion passed 3‑0). - Approve staff recommendations on three Nonprofit Operation Support requests (motions passed 3‑0), which resulted in staff recommendations being adopted (Nevada Health Centers, Virginia City Middle School Booster Club, University of Nevada, Reno Cooperative Extension). - Approve the first reading for an on‑sale/off‑sale liquor license for Ryan Brandon (Old Corner Bar) and approve second readings for business licenses listed on the agenda (motions passed 3‑0). - Approve Amendment No. 1 (Task Order 74) to the DOWL professional services agreement for the Gold Hill Collection System Replacement, increasing the not‑to‑exceed amount to $787,204.86 and authorizing the County Manager to execute associated documents (motion passed 3‑0). - Adopt the first reading of Bill No. 151 (Ordinance No. 26‑339) amending Storey County Code Chapter 13.118 (Parks and Swimming Pool) to add pool fees and a $100 gazebo fee for non‑residents, among other changes (motion passed 3‑0).
Most of the approvals were carried by unanimous recorded votes (Commissioners Mitchell, Carmona and Gilman). Where the board approved staff recommendations (for example, the nonprofit requests), the action adopted staff recommendations rather than independently authorizing grants or expenditures beyond those recommendations.
What happens next: Items that require further action (for example the draft Tesla contract directed by the board, final budget adoption, or final ordinance adoption after public notice) will return to the board in future agenda packets for consideration and any required appropriations.
