WINNEMUCCA — While everyone agreed something should be done with the intersection of Bridge and Haskell Streets, neither residents nor the Winnemucca City Council thought that “something” should be a roundabout.

Having met with representatives of the Nevada Department of Transportation on Tuesday (Jan. 10), at least members of the council are beginning to think it’s not such a bad idea.

WINNEMUCCA — The Winnemucca City Council recently voted to refine the Municipal Golf Course policies and regulations to present the material in a more structured manner.

However, in streamlining the material they took the additional step of changing the fee policy for tournaments where the golf course is closed to the general public.

WINNEMUCCA — The Winnemucca City Council voted against allowing the project planner for the proposed Sonoma Ridge subdivision to shrink the width of the proposed street addition a wee bit.  The vote was Dec. 13.

The city labeled the street a collector street and for that reason required it to be 50-feet in width, which is the Master Plan standard.

WINNEMUCCA — Chief of Police Eric Silva was recently before the Winnemucca City Council to outline his plans for keeping the department staffed, and the staff in working vehicles.

When he took over the top spot in September, Silva’s department was short four officers: one was on administrative leave, two were on long-term sick leave, and there was one position open.

Silva told the council if he loses even one more person the police department will incur overtime every single day on both shifts.
