 Dear City Hall...I could not make it to the meeting Thursday night as I had to work. I wonder if the city would have told us way back that the water treatment plant was going to cost us so much, if we would have at least had a chance to pack up and get out before the realestate crash. I had planned to leave after my child graduated but, here we are with these elephants (houses) on our backs stuck in a city with more bills aimed right at our pocket books. I've had 3…

I'm a Real Estate Broker and a Property Manager in Fernley.  I have lived here over 30 years, jumped through a lot hoops with our town.  But this water issue is extreme and definately needs to be addressed NOW.

You went out and asked this community to trust you to make decisions that would impact all of us. Taken from your…

Last night’s City Council meeting lived up to be the spectacle that it was expected to be. Certain community activists assembled a vocal crowd into the council chambers, and I don’t blame them for being mad at government. I’m mad at government too at almost all levels. I can’t think of many things that the Federal Government actually does for us that justifies all of the hard-earned money that they confiscate from…

Facebook entry from "Fernley Nevada"

At the April 4, 2012, City Council Meeting, agenda item 10.1 is proposing a $48 a month fee to be collected on our property tax statement ($576 per year), to pay the water/sewer bonds.

ALL of the $4.72 million needed to make the bond payments will come from a new Water Bond Debt Fee collected on our annual property tax…
