Mayor Hector Bas thanked outgoing council members Shelli Swift and Edward Payne for their service during the Monday, May 11 Reno City Council meeting as officials canvassed the May 2 election results and newly elected members took the oath of office.

“Today is one of those days where we lose some our council members,” Bas said while acknowledging the transition following the May 2 election.

“Ed Payne, I want to thank you for your service on the P&Z (Planning and Zoning Commission) and the council. I know you’re planning on a well-deserved break. I wish you the best. Shelli Swift, you have been an outstanding council member since I took office in 2023. You’re going to be deeply missed,” Bas said.
