As the mayor of Fallon, I want to welcome you to the City of Fallon’s newsletter. I hope you become a regular reader for city news, updates, and useful information that you can share with family and friends.
Unlike most cities which are chartered by the state legislature, Fallon operates under the Nevada Revised Statutes’ Chapter 266: “General Law for Incorporation of Cities and Towns.” This arrangement allows city officials greater governmental autonomy.
Fallon also has a strong-mayor form of government which means the mayor is the city’s chief executive officer. I work very closely with the three-member City Council, and oversee the city’s utility enterprise funds: electricity, landfill, sanitation, sewer, water and water treatment.
I also oversee the six municipal departments: Police, City Attorney, Emergency Management, City Clerk / Treasurer, Public Works / City Engineering, and Municipal Court.
While my position requires that I be very “hands on” with respect to the city’s day-to-day operations, time must be made to communicate with the citizens of Fallon. I intend for this newsletter to be an extension of the mayor’s role as the city’s chief communicator, connecting Fallon residents to the inner workings of the mayor’s office, the exciting new developments in the community — and all of the reasons why I believe Fallon is the greatest place to raise a family, own a business, and call home.
