Council says goodbye to Eilrich, welcomes McKay
Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

Newly elected Fernley City councilwoman Gran McKay and reelected councilman Dan McCassie took their oats of office as they were sworn in at the beginning of the council’s meeting, Wednesday Dec. 7.

In addition, Mayor Roy Edgington presented retiring councilman Cal Eilrich with a plaque containing a key to the city, a bottle of Crown Royal and a quilt made by McKay as tokens of appreciation for his 9 years on the council.

McKay was elected to fill Eilrich’s Ward 5 seat. She won the office by virtue of receiving more than 50 percent of the vote in the June primary election, bypassing the November general election.

McCassie defeated Don Parsons in the Ward 2 race in November.

Eilrich served two full terms in office after being appointed to the council to fill a vacancy in March, 2008.

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.
