City to issue notices to non-essential businesses remaining open

City to issue notices to non-essential businesses remaining open

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

In order to maintain compliance with the Governor’s directive ordering non-essential businesses to close to the public, the City of Fernley will begin implementation of the following process.

The City will address non-compliance with a written notice to licensed “non-essential” businesses within the City of Fernley that continue to operate with their doors open to the public. As a reminder, this directive is intended for non-essential businesses only. The Governor has outlined non-essential sectors in his emergency directive, which can be viewed here: http://www.cityoffernley.org/DocumentCenter/View/23929/2020-03-20Declaration-of-EmergencyDirective-003.

The City of Fernley expresses our appreciation for the business community and to those businesses who are sacrificing in order to follow the rules set by the Governor. The City will work to ensure that all are in compliance in order to keep Nevadans healthy and safe.

The public can notify the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office at (775) 463-6620 or contact the Fernley City Clerk’s Office at [email protected] or (775) 784-9830.

For additional information or questions, contact the City Manager’s Office at (775) 784-9858

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.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion. Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AM Comment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-ramp
