The Lyon County Board of Commissioners on Thursday will review a request for proposal for the Solid Waste Franchise agreement. Approving the RFP document is the first step in soliciting proposals for the garbage collection contract. Proposals will be reviewed and the winner will be selected at a later meeting.
The solid waste franchise covers all areas of the county except within the city limits of Fernley and Yerington. The contract previously was awarded at the commissioners’ March 3, 2022, board meeting. However, a review of the contract award was granted in April. The board decided it was best to begin the process again and issue a new RFP.
Also on the agenda, the board will consider the public health officer position and decide whether to issue an RFP for the role. The position serves as executive officer of the County Board of Health. Dr. Robin Titus has filled the role since 1984.
Other items on the agenda include a presentation from Ormat Technologies on geothermal activities in Lyon County, a possible update to the county’s at-home vehicle storage policy for law enforcement and an update on American Rescue Plan Act funding allocations and spending.
The board meets at 9 a.m. Thursday at the Lyon County Administrative Complex at 27 S. Main St., in Yerington. The agenda is posted online at www.lyon-county.org/Agendacenter.
Members of the public wishing to attend the meeting may attend in person at the Administrative Complex or attend via Zoom.
