Round Mountain Town Board to Discuss FY2027 Public Safety Sales Tax Plan

The Round Mountain Town Board posted its agenda to the Nye County Agenda Center on March 24, 2026, placing the Fiscal Year 2027 Public Safety Sales and Use Tax plan among the items slated for discussion at its next regular meeting. The PSST, which channels sales and use tax revenue directly into public safety services and facilities, has been a recurring budget mechanism in Nye County communities since its authorization under state law.

The meeting will be held at the Daniel R. Sweeney Public Safety Building at 101 Smoky Valley Blvd. in Round Mountain. The board typically convenes on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. No further details about the FY2027 PSST plan, including proposed funding amounts or specific allocations, were included in the posted agenda notice.

Before enacting a public safety sales and use tax ordinance, the board is required to hold a public hearing to present its plan for implementing the local sales and use tax. Proceeds from the tax must be distributed among the areas of Pahrump, Amargosa Valley, Beatty, Tonopah, Round Mountain, Manhattan, Gabbs, and other towns in Nye County on a pro rata basis based on population ratio, or in any other manner the board and governing bodies agree upon.

The board is led by Chair Nicole Silberschlag and Vice Chair Sara Sweeney, with members Chris Philips and Janet Jorgensen. Town Manager James Swigart staffs the body. The clerk position has been listed as vacant on prior agendas, with the board having previously taken up the election of a clerk as an action item.

Residents wishing to attend or participate can reach Town Hall at (775) 377-2508 to request special accommodations, with written or phone notice required at least three business days before the meeting. Public comment is open for all matters on and off the agenda, with speakers limited to three minutes each. The board retains the right to reduce or cap total comment time, and may prohibit comments deemed irrelevant, repetitious, or outside its authority.

Prior agendas posted to the Nye County Agenda Center illustrate the range of business the five-member board handles. At its August 12, 2025 meeting, the board considered Resolution 25-03, "directing the creation of an enterprise fund for the golf course business related activities at the Round Mountain golf course," and took up a discussion of whether to install speed bumps or reverted speed bumps on Hadley Circle. The same August agenda included Ordinance 25-02, proposing animal regulations within the unincorporated town, and updates from both the Maintenance Department and the Round Mountain Volunteer Fire Department.

Agendas are made available three business days before each meeting by 9 a.m., per NRS 241.020.3. Per that statute, the agenda is posted at the Round Mountain Town Hall at 100 Hadley Circle, the U.S. Post Office at 83 Hadley Circle, the Donald L. Simpson Community Center at 650 Civic Drive, and the Round Mountain Fire House. The full agenda and any staff reports tied to the FY2027 PSST plan are available through the Nye County Agenda Center or by contacting Town Hall directly.
