9/8/26 Elko Live - City of Elko

Elko City Manager Jan Baum talked about agenda items including possible council support for a proposed rail merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, a presentation by the Flight Alliance of Northeastern Nevada to keep local air service aloft and consideration of a controversial ordinance that would mandate mixed residential construction in places like downtown Elko. City planners rejected the proposal although it is state law as of July 2026.
