Lyon County Press Release The Lyon County Board of County Commissioners held a special meeting on Friday, November 15, 2024, to finalize the canvass of votes for the 2024 General Election. The Board certified the election results, marking the conclusion of the democratic process for the county's participation in the statewide election. Lyon County Clerk/Treasurer Staci Lindberg, thanked the 69 poll workers, Lyon County staff and many others that contributed to the success of this election. A full post-election summary from the Clerk/Treasurer’s Office is available on the Lyon County website. Additionally, the Board addressed the critical effluent disposal issue in Dayton by lifting the temporary pause on building permits, will-serve letters, site improvement plans, and final maps. This decision followed an informative presentation by Lyon County Utilities Director David Bruketta, outlining a viable short-term solution to increase sewer service capacity in the Dayton area while staff continue toward a long-term plan for increased capacity. To manage the current capacity constraints in the Dayton sewer service area, Lyon County Utilities will develop a site-specific reclaimed water and effluent management plan, as required by the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP). The plan will allow for the utilization of treated effluent water for dust control during non-freezing conditions on Lyon County properties. If necessary, the county may also transport effluent water to other approved disposal sites to further increase capacity. The Board unanimously approved the resumption of these development activities, with a requirement that developers sign a Disclosure Agreement approved by the Lyon County District Attorney’s Office. Commissioners thanked the development community for their willingness to work with Lyon County staff to identify creative solutions. Glen Martel of the Nevada Builders Alliance provided on behalf of the development community, “We are happy to work with Andrew [Haskin] and the Lyon County team so that in 3 months, 6 months, whatever it is, we have a plan to keep the life safety, health issues and economic future of the Dayton Valley moving in the right direction.” The complete agenda and back up materials are posted online at www.lyon-county.org/Agendacenter.
