Lyon County Commissioners will consider signing a resolution that would establish a moratorium and suspend any applications related to zoning, land use and building permitting within Lyon County during their regular action meeting Thursday.
The purpose of the moratorium is to allow the Lyon County Planning and Zoning Board to review zoning regulations related to medical buildings. It was reported earlier this month that Stormont Vail Health had purchased land to build a new multi-million dollar medical facility in the county, however, calls for confirmation from KVOE to Stormont have not been returned.
Commission Chairman Rollie Martin tells KVOE News the resolution being considered Thursday was drafted by the county commission and not by any local or outside agency. Consideration of the resolution comes the same week it was announced that mediated conversations between Stormont and Newman Regional Health had come to a close. Martin declined further comment until after Thursday’s meeting.
Separately Thursday, Lyon County Controller Dan Williams will present a first draft of the 2025 Lyon County budget. County Appraiser Ryan Janzen will seek approval for himself and Zach Carr to travel out of state and attend the IAAO Conference in Denver for an amount not to exceed $2,400.
Six executive sessions, three for employee evaluations, two for legal matters and one for non-elected personnel are also planned. The meeting will begin at 9 am inside of the Lyon County Courthouse Commission Chambers.
