Lyon County makes board appointments for 2013
The Lyon County Board of Commissioners on Monday selected Joe Mortensen to serve as chairman of the board and Ray Fierro to remain as the vice chairman.
The Board of Commissioners also made appointments to the various committees, commissions and boards.
Lyon County is governed by a five-member board elected from geographic districts on a partisan basis for staggered four-year terms. Each commissioner serves "at-large," which means that they are elected by and represent all citizens in the County. The County Commissioners annually elect a chairperson, who serves as the Commission's presiding officer.
The Lyon County Board of Commissioners also serves as the "ex-officio" board for the Central Lyon Vector Control District, the Mason Valley Mosquito Abatement District, the Walker River Weed Control District, and the Willowcreek General Improvement District.
