The Fernley and Yerington city councils and the Lyon County Commission have each approved a
Memorandum of Understanding for Fernley to provide temporary court and administrative
support to Yerington while it recruits and hires permanent staff.
Under the agreement, Fernley will make qualified employees with court clerk experience and/or
administrative employees available to assist the city of Yerington with municipal court and
administrative functions, Yerington will reimburse Fernley for the costs, including overtime for
the employees.
The City of Yerington is currently seeking to fill the full-time court clerk position. The Municipal
Court reopened Sept. 15 after being dark for several months. In July, Fernley Deputy City
Attorney Brandi Jensen was sworn in as Yerington’s municipal court judge.
