Resident tells planning commission it may be violating Nevada open‑meeting laws, raises water and solar concerns

At the start of the July 22 meeting, community member Robin Biggs told the commission she believed the Yerington Planning Commission, the City Council and Lyon County Commissioners “are in violation of open meeting laws” and asked officials what is going on with local water and solar farms. She also said she did not know who was on the board and mentioned that the “Yerington Paiute Tribe was supposed to send water to Weber Reservoir.”

Later in the meeting Ms. Biggs returned to public participation to say the Planning Commission had “just received the packet today and that is an open law violation” and to criticize local landlords. City Manager Jerry Bryant responded that the packet and agenda were distributed in advance and that a supplemental staff recommendation was sent to the property owner and then to commission members after the owner confirmed receipt.
