Alamo Town Board

The Alamo Town Board met on Jan. 14 to discuss community projects, public safety updates and future planning items affecting the town.

During the meeting, board members approved the minutes from the November 19, 2025, meeting and voted unanimously to approve payment of the town’s bills.

Lincoln County Sheriff Derek Foremaster provided a brief public safety update, noting there were no major concerns at the time. However, he said there has been an increase in electric scooters and motorcycles being used around town and encouraged residents to help spread awareness to parents about safety.

District Attorney April Bradshaw addressed the board and shared that her office has been actively working in Alamo and remains busy. She clarified that the Alamo Town Board serves in an advisory role and can make recommendations to the county commissioners, who ultimately approve or deny proposals. Discussion centered on the possibility of expanding town boundaries rather than creating a parks district. Board members discussed holding a public meeting to gather community input before moving forward with any recommendations.

County Commissioner Lisa Poulsen provided several updates, including ongoing discussions about the industrial park and adjustments to traffic safety. The Nevada Department of Transportation has approved changes to the speed limit near Industrial Storage, and additional safety concerns were raised about school bus stops located along higher-speed roadways. Possible additions, such as school bus warning signs, reduced speed zones and “No Engine Brake” signage, were discussed.

Work has been completed on the road to the BLM shooting range, including installing a cattle guard to improve access. The town has also received land from the LDS Church to expand the cemetery, and discussions are underway about incorporating cemetery operations into a town-managed entity to help with long-term maintenance and funding.

Other topics included replacing damaged park banners, repairing a softball field backstop, ongoing gopher issues at the children’s park and continued progress on street light installation. The board also discussed budgeting for the upcoming fiscal year, including potential wage increases for town workers.

In other action, the board approved changing the town-wide speed limit to 20 miles per hour unless otherwise posted. Members also approved purchasing new street signs through the Lincoln County Road Department.

The Alamo Town Board met Feb. 11, with agenda items including town maintenance updates, contractor and landscaping project discussions, review of current and future contract terms, and possible action on items including town maintenance agreements, town limits expansion discussions, and other routine town business. Regular Alamo Town Board meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the outside meeting room behind the Alamo Annex, 121 Joshua Tree St. in Alamo.
