Fernley’s Tyler Roemer, who recently signed with the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent, was presented with the key to the city at the July 3 meeting of the Fernley City Council.

Mayor Roy Edgington read a proclamation honoring Roemer for his contribution to the city of Fernley and for his public service.

Roemer is the first Fernley High School graduate to reach the NFL. He played two seasons at San Diego St. as the first Fernley graduate to receive a Division I football scholarship straight out of high school.

Roemer was scheduled to report for the first day of the Raiders training camp July 23 at their Napa Valley Training Complex. The first full team practice is July 27 and the Raiders are scheduled to play the Los Angeles Rams in their first preseason game Aug. 10.

The Raiders will be featured on this year’s edition of HBO’s Hard Knocks, which will debut Aug. 6.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
