City hosting Strategic Plan Community Meeting via Zoom Tuesday

City hosting Strategic Plan Community Meeting via Zoom Tuesday

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

The City of Fernley will be hosting a public meeting via Zoom Tuesday evening to present its Strategic Plan to residents. Comments and questions from the public will be addressed.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. Residents can register for the meeting at https://us02web.zoom.us/.../tZclde2orD0qGNKytCM95_MmbCStP...After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

The Fernley City Council approved the release of the strategic plan at its Oct. 21 meeting and a final plan will be presented to the Council for consideration of adoption in December.

The City’s current strategic plan runs through June 2021.

The strategic plan development process included multiple activities to gather perspectives and thoughts from a broad section of the community, including residents and business owners. A total of 111 people participated in the process.

Participants were asked questions to gather information for developing the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan. They were asked to answer the questions with this framework: Imagine it is the year 2040. Your hopes and expectations for Fernley have been realized. Significant changes have occurred, but the best of the past has been retained. The quality of life of the city and its economy meet the needs and desires of the residents.

The information gathered in the engagement process was used to develop a draft 2021-2026 Strategic Plan that includes a community vision, mission for the city organization, values, and goals and strategies. The strategic plan will guide the City as it transitions from a bedroom community to a mixed residential commercial community, and ensure the city government has the capacity to fulfill its roles for the community.

A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again). With soft muscles after 7 months of no swimming, the only health left is my sense of humor :) Comment publication date: 10/1/26, 11:18 AM Comment source: Fernley Pool Renovation Moves Forward, One Test at a Time Comment author: PFB Comment text: Why can't you guys find competent contractors.. 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.
