The City of Yerington posted and submitted its proposed final budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, including a property-tax revenue requirement of $598,818 and a stated tax rate of 0.4044. The packet sets a public hearing on the budget for May 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Council Chambers.
The published budget materials break out resources and uses across governmental, proprietary and special revenue funds. The General Fund tentative resources are listed as $4,309,878. Utility schedules show the water utility budgeting operating revenues of roughly $2.15 million and the sewer utility budgeting about $1.34 million, with associated nonoperating items, planned capital contributions and projected loan payments.
The schedules list full-time-equivalent staffing by function and show a total headcount moving from 28.03 in the prior year to a budgeted 23.00 FTEs. The packet also includes population estimates used for per-capita calculations (3,549 as of July 1). The budget document shows line-item totals for functions such as public safety and public works, and a contingency figure not to exceed 3 percent of total expenditures.
The indebtedness schedule details multiple USDA loans for water and sewer projects and reports a total for all debt service of $30,765,612.91. The packet also lists existing and proposed contracts, including a proposed $45,000 engagement for audit services with Sciarani and Company and a $72,000 contract for Porter Group, LLC identified as a lobby firm.
Legal notices included in the packet reference NRS 237.030 et seq. and NRS 241.015(4)(c) regarding ratifying staff action and closed-session authority for receiving legal counsel on potential or existing litigation. The agenda reiterates that items marked 'For Possible Action' are actionable and that public comment is limited to three minutes per person, with instructions for written submissions to the City Clerk’s office.
Next steps: the city will hold the public hearing May 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in council chambers; the packet as published contains the materials the council will consider at that hearing, including detailed schedules for revenues, expenditures, fund balances, enterprise fund projections and lists of existing contracts.
