Commissioner Cox

said there would be an ice cream social Saturday, September 6, 2014, for the Republican Party candidates and a meet and greet from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Republican Headquarters on Highway 160.

Commissioner Wichman

said the Board of County Commissioners was invited to Belmont on September 27, 2014, at 10:00 am., to attend the installation of a plaque by the Nevada Chapter of E Clampus Vitus at the Belmont Courthouse. The invitation included anyone who wanted to join the Commissioners. Also, Assemblyman Paul Aizley as chairman of the Legislative Committee on Public Lands decided not to include the public lands task force report in the work session. Commissioner Wichman said she was often dismayed at things that became a waste of taxpayers’ money, but she became heated over a waste of time. She held out hope that the report would not become a waste of time and that Senator Pete Goicoechea would further the work of the task force and the report. Diane Southworth from the Nye County Democratic Party said on September 5, 2014, the Jefferson Jackson Dinner would be held at the Pahrump Nugget. Tickets could be obtained at www.nyedems.org or by calling the office. There would also be a Bunco party on Saturday, September 6, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. with room for about eight people. It was $10.00 to buy in and there would be cash prizes.

Commissioner Carbone

said there was a need for more signs around the Eye advising that dogs needed to be on leashes and owners needed to clean up after them per NRS and County Code.

Commissioner Carbone

advised that China Wok had its final inspection, as did Big 5. The Holiday Inn Express was ready to pull permits, and the veteran’s clinic was close to 15,000 square feet in size.

Commissioner Borasky

said he talked to the general contractor for the Holiday Inn. All the fees had been paid and he was to be out there today looking at starting the project.

Commissioner Wichman

said she received a letter from the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association asking the Board to provide support for their comments opposing the proposed directive on groundwater resource management for the Forest Service Manual. She asked staff to prepare comments or a letter of support for their position.

Commissioner Schinhofen

stated he wanted to meet with Dave Fanning about UAVs to see what could be done to set up something. Lorina Dellinger advised NDOT was requesting an informal workshop to be held in the Ruud Center. Brian Kunzi stated if this was going to be a workshop for the Board it would have to be agendized. If it was a public workshop then it did not have to be agendized.

Mrs. Dellinger

said they were requesting to have it October 14, 15 or 16, 2014, and they also wanted to include Esmeralda County.

Commissioner Schinhofen

expressed concern with holding it in the Ruud Center as that was not available to the public. The workshop was set for October 14, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. in the Commissioners chambers in Pahrump. SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY BOARD OF ROAD COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Carbone

assumed the Chair of the Board of Road Commissioners. September 2, 2014

Commissioner Carbone

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Wichman

stated all data had been collected on all the roads.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to adopt Resolutions RC2014-461 through RC2014-500; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to set the date, time and location as October 7, 2014, at 10:15 am.; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen; 5 yeas. 9. For Possible Action General road report by Public Works Director Dave Fanning, Public Works Director, advised he had nothing to add to the report in the back-up.

Commissioner Schinhofen

commented on the slow down with Manse Road because of agreement issues with Adavan and asked how soon before machinery would be out there. Mr. Fanning said they were still puffing together the survey and working with Adavan on their agreement, but they hoped to start moving dirt at the end of this month.

Commissioner Schinhofen

noted it was still the first priority on the capital improvement funds.

Commissioner Borasky

asked what the drop dead date was to get this accomplished this year instead of next year. Mr. Fanning explained they could pave through the winter with temperatures of 60 degrees or above so there should be nothing to stop them from doing it this year.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked if part of Hafen Road where it veered off from Indian Reservation Road was lost in the last rains and if it was repaired. Wade Christianson, Public Works district supervisor, said a minor portion of the edge of the road was lost which they would repair with cold mix, but the road was passable.

Commissioner Cox

asked if the repair work on Calvada was the finished product or if an overlay would be done. Mr. Fanning said they were working with the contractor to September 2, 2014 9. For Possible Action General road report by Public Works Director-Cont’d. develop a contract to do an overlay on Calvada from Blagg Road down almost to Red Rock.

Commissioner Cox

asked who set the speed limits in the school zones. She noticed the school zone in front of the high school that was 25 mph was now down to 15 mph and thought that was awfully slow for a high school. People had commented and wondered why it was changed. Dave Fanning stated speed limits were governed by NRS. School was back in session and regardless of whether it was a grade school or a high school the speed limit was 15 mph when school was in session. He said there were other routes around the school that people could take.

Commissioner Cox

asked if there was any progress or changes to the problem in Beatty with the street signs and addresses. Mr. Fanning advised the address committee had gotten together and there would be a final launch of the addressing system. Beatty was cleared up a year ago, but because of the center of town no one understood how the roads were arranged east versus west. He said the addressing committee would discuss that and see if they could come up with a better way to do it. It would be a huge expense, but it might clear it up for emergency services. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Schinhofen

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. PLANNING/BUILDING

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked if there would be a problem in not meeting the date the money had to be used by because of how slow this was moving. Dave Fanning said he did not think so as NDOT was fully aware the money needed to be spent by December 31, 2015. He did not see any problems with working on Blagg or Pahrump Valley, but there were right-of-way concerns with private property that still needed to be addressed by NDOT, which was part of this agreement. He said if this agreement was not approved today those right-of-way issues would take the longest to resolve. September 2, 2014 31. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve two cooperative agreements with the State of Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) for the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Highway 372 and Blagg Road, and for the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Highway 372 and Pahrump Valley Boulevard.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Borasky

said none of the things that had been asked for had been done, like public workshops, and asked when final plans would be available. Darrell Lacy, Planning Director, explained this was the County’s agreement so NDOT could move forward with answering those questions, which the District Attorney had approved.

Commissioner Carbone

noted the back-up stated $450,000.00 and asked if that should be $900,000.00 for both intersections being discussed. Mr. Fanning said that was correct as they were $450,000.00 each.

Commissioner Schinhofen

commented that the $900,000.00 was impact fee money that the Capital Improvement Board had approved spending on this.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Borasky.

Commissioner Borasky

was not happy about approving the money without looking at the plans and said people in his district were concerned about it.

Mr. Lacy

pointed out that Article 2 outlined what NDOT was agreeing to do as part of the agreement, one of which was submitting those plans to the County for approval.

Commissioner Cox

said she was not happy about the approval of the roundabouts to start with and would have rather seen the $900,000.00 go for a light on the corner of Blagg and Highway 372. She was not in support of doing this and would like to look at other options.

Commissioner Carbone

stated he was not a fan of the roundabouts and that had been his position since the beginning.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he did not love the idea of roundabouts either, but he thought the only way to improve these two intersections with the funds available was to move forward with the Capital Improvement Committee’s recommendation and that was the only reason he would continue to support this.

Commissioner Schinhofen

commented on the elevated areas and asked if there would be additional railings installed. Dave Fanning said yes.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if there would be any further complications with this project. Mr. Fanning said no. This section was pretty clear of any major defect or anything going on underground. The only upftont known issue was the Fun Palace, a segment off of the Mizpah, would be puffing in a new sewer line of unknown depth, but that would be put in prior to the sidewalks being put in and should be coordinated with the contractor.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to approve RFP 201 4-07, the rebid for the Main Street Sidewalk Ramps Project, Phase 3; seconded by Commissioner Cox.

Commissioner Carbone

amended his motion to include awarding of the bid to Ben F. Dotson Construction; Commissioner Cox amended her second; 5 yeas. 27. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding Bid #2014-09 — — Crafco (Or Equivalent) Crack Sealer.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve and award the bid to Construction Sealants Supply, Inc. of Las Vegas; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS These are items that Staff recommends for approval. The Board reserves the right to move any consent agenda item to the regular segment of the agenda should issues arise that need to be addressed. Discussion of any item from the Consent Agenda Items that needs review before a decision is made. 12. For Possible Action — Approval of Assessor’s Office Change Request

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. 13. For Possible Action Approval to set the date and location of the first meeting of November of the Board of Commissioners for Wednesday. November 12, 2014 in Tonopah, Nevada.

Commissioner Wichman

noted that Wednesday was the beginning of the Nevada Association of Conservation Districts meeting in Fallon and wondered why the meeting could not be held on Tuesday. September 2, 2014 13. For Possible Action Approval to set the date and location of the first meeting of November of the Board of Commissioners for Wednesday, November 12, 2014 in Tonopah, Nevada.-Cont’d. Lorina Dellinger explained Tuesday was Veteran’s Day. There had been discussion about having it on Monday, but some people would be out of town, and Wednesday was the last day the Clerk could canvass the votes.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to set the meeting for November 12, 2014; seconded by Commissioner Borasky.

Commissioner Schinhofen

pointed out this was setting the first and only meeting in November.

Commissioner Carbone

said he was just looking for the list of names of people going as he did not get a chance to talk to Vance Payne.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. 15. For Possible Action Approval to accept the 2014 US Department of Justice Bulletproof Vest Partnership Act Grant that reimburses up to fifty percent (50%) of funds expended on bulletproof vests for officers.

Commissioner Cox

wondered if the vests being disposed of were recycled. She also asked how long they were good for and how long the warranty on them was. Rick Marshall from the Sheriffs Office stated they were replaced every five years unless they were damaged beyond repair and they had a five year warranty.

Commissioner Cox

said she was looking at some way to make some money off of them or donate them to someone who could use them. She thought they could be furnished to the cadets in the cadet program and to people who did ride-alongs as she was concerned with their safety.

Mr. Marshall

pointed out the potential liability to the County by issuing an expired vest to someone and having it fail. However, he said they were revisiting the cadet program and it would be changed to an explorer program. They were looking at Las Vegas Metro’s programs and Commissioner Cox’s concerns would be taken into consideration. September 2, 2014 15. For Possible Action Approval to accept the 2014 US Department of Justice Bulletproof Vest Partnership Act Grant that reimburses up to fifty percent (50%) of funds expended on bulletproof vests for offlcers.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Carbone

asked how many vests the price in the back-up covered. Mr. Marshall said they were roughly $775.00 a piece and they expected to replace 45 to 50 vests over, the next two years.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Carbone; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNICORPORATED TOWNS OF BEATTY, BELMONT, GABBS, MANHATTAN AND RAILROAD VALLEY GABBS 11. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the Gabbs Town Advisory Board Bylaws. Regarding the section dealing with absentee voters, since this was an informal election

Commissioner Wichman

had concerns for the liability with people delivering handwritten notes to the Clerk’s Office and wondered if there was any good argument for keeping that provision in the bylaws. Janice Lyman, Chairman of the Gabbs Town Advisory Board, stated the public was in favor of adding the absentee ballot due to so many of them having medical issues and the need to be out of town so often for various reasons. They wanted to make sure they had the ability to vote. Brian Kunzi expressed his concern regarding the absentee ballot provision and the ability to maintain secrecy. Sam Merlino advised she had recommended that they handle it the way her office handled absentee ballots. There was a secrecy sleeve around the ballot and she had a board that separated that sleeve and the envelope from the ballot. She agreed that with this small amount of voters the chances were good that someone would see the vote.

Commissioner Schinhofen

was concerned that if Gabbs did it then the other town advisory boards would want to do it and they did not realize that this vote did not bind the Board.

Mr. Kunzi

was also concerned about paragraph 2 regarding qualifications of appointments, which had nothing to do with the operation of the board and was controlled by State law and the Nye County Code. The bylaws governed how the board operated but did not define who was qualified or how the Board of County Commissioners should determine who would be appointed as a member. It created an September 2, 2014 11. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the Gabbs Town Advisory Board Bylaws.-Cont’d impression that the Board of County Commissioners was controlled by the bylaws and he did not think that section was needed at all. Mr. Kunzi suggested striking paragraph 2, renumbering everything, and moving the statement regarding the town advisory board members serving without compensation to the meetings paragraph.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to amend by striking section 6e, striking sections 2a through 2e having to do with absentee voting, and moving section 2f to the meetings section; seconded by Commissioner Borasky.

Commissioner Wichman

amended her motion to make the effective date October 2, 2014; Commissioner Borasky amended his second; 5 yeas. 20. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to reconsider action taken at the August 5, 2014 meeting regarding the uncoNectable utility accounts from the books of the Town of Gabbs.

Commissioner Wichman

explained she had asked that two of the four accounts go to collection and she would like to remove that instruction from staff. She was reminded about a conversation she had with someone in Gabbs who was under the impression the garbage ordinance would be rewritten.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to withhold those two accounts from the collection agency; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas. 19. NACO Western States Conference Update The update was in the back-up. Commissioner Wichman advised the conference call took place the third Thursday of every month at 8:00 a.m. and was open to all to participate. She could be contacted for the call in information. 21. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding funding a project to purchase land located at 700 E. Wilson Road, Assessor’s Parcel No. 35-311-02.

Commissioner Cox

said she brought this forward as she thought it would be a benefit to the County and the residents to purchase the Binion Ranch property. It was located on 138 acres in a prime location with historical value, 139 water rights, and room for parking for large events. It had power, wells, and many structures, as well as surrounding land for expansion. The property was located in the center of downtown Pahrump where all the businesses would benefit from the locals and the tourists who would attend the events. The purchase price of the property was $2.2 million. September 2, 2014 21. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding funding a project to purchase land located at 700 E. Wilson Road, Assessor’s Parcel No. 35-311-02.- Cont’d.

Commissioner Borasky

questioned how this would benefit the County when the property would be taken off the tax rolls, especially in light of the four straight years of budget problems. He also pointed out the County owned land all over the place.

Commissioner Catbone

understood the property could be used for many different things, such as a fairgrounds and a business park, but he wondered about the return on the investment.

Commissioner Schinhofen

stated Wilson Road would have to be widened as well as Basin and there were easement problems on Wilson. Darrell Lacy listed a few benefits he could see from the purchase, like providing an alternative route around the problem intersection at Wilson Road and Highway 160 or a regional flood basin. He advised the Water District had been puffing money aside to purchase water tights in large blocks and it might behoove the County to see if they would like to purchase these water rights which would make the land a little cheaper.

Commissioner Carbone

asked what would happen with the fairgrounds property the County had tight now if this was turned into a fairgrounds.

Commissioner Wichman

believed there was a deed restriction on that property that if it was not used as fairgrounds it went back to the government. She noted the County had also already spent money to put a well on that property.

Commissioner Carbone

recommended looking at what it would take to make this happen. Norma Jean Opatik, the realtor for the property, said there were a few offers on the property, but there were some issues with obtaining the funds. There was still an offer that was going forward, but it had not been put in escrow again because of issues with the funding.

Commissioner Cox

said the property had a house on it with historical value, a couple of outbuildings, two fields, and plush landscaping. She felt the area could be use for a small sitting park and that there were other ways to bring in money. She had even had an inquiry from Tails End about purchasing ten acres of it to put a small project there to help with the animals in the shelter.

Commissioner Wichman

cautioned the Board to remember that with ownership came responsibility and liability. Purchasing something that would not be occupied with no one to watch it could possibly create a situation that could threaten the public health, safety and welfare. September 2, 2014 21. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding funding a project to purchase land located at 700 E. Wilson Road, Assessor’s Parcel No. 35-311-02.- Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

thought the money could be used for the property the County already owned instead of buying something and starting all over to see what the possibilities were. He was not in favor of this. Donald Cox asked what the cost to level the fairgrounds was.

Commissioner Cox

said there was a quote from Wulfenstein of $5 million to make it usable property.

Mr. Cox

thought the location of this property was better than the location of the current fairgrounds and noted it would be cheaper to buy this property than to fix the other. Richard Goldstein thought the County should not waste money on buying something new and should use the money to improve the fairgrounds it already owned. Judith Holmgren wanted to know more about the structures that were currently on the property.

Ms. Opatik

said there was a home, a 17-stall barn, corrals, a hay barn constructed such that the truck that brought in the hay could be driven into it and unloaded inside, and then there was pasture land. The house was 1,700 or 1,800 square feet with four bedrooms and four baths.

Commissioner Carbone

imagined since the house was built in 1959 that it needed a lot of work.

Commissioner Cox

stated the house was inhabitable and it was the part that would be the historical division of the property, although it would probably need a little work to meet code.

Mrs. Holmgren

said if it could be used as a historical site then it should be investigated in that manner and should not be discarded out of hand as it could be a viable draw for people coming in to the town. Kim Clendenen supported this purchase and felt a lot could be done with the property. Paula Glidden said she had written to the Binion Family asking them to donate the property to the Town of Pahrump, but was unsuccessful. She knew it would cost money, but the land on the highway would cost money to make usable. She saw the Binion property as having huge possibilities and the potential to make money for the County. September 2, 2014 21. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding funding a project to purchase land located at 700 E. Wilson Road, Assessor’s Parcel No. 35-311-02.- Cont’d. John Bosta thought the 139 acres of water rights might be some of the oldest water rights in the valley and would be very valuable on priority dates with the State Engineer.

Commissioner Schinhofen

recalled the effort to buy Pahrump Utilities and the offer of a $4.5 million infrastructure that the County turned down. Although the water rights were valuable, he could not support buying the property without any due diligence.

Commissioner Cox

said she just asked for this to be put on the agenda to be looked at and did not expect to buy it tomorrow. As far as the fairgrounds property, she believed Senator Reid gave it to the County because it had no value and she did not think it was a suitable site for fairgrounds. She stated Pam Webster told her there was money in the endowment funds and also other property the County had that could be sold with some of that money put toward this particular piece of property. Commissioner Cox said she would not consider purchasing the property if it did not have the water rights. She only wanted to do this for the betterment of the town and wanted it to be a project that everyone could benefit from with a year round use.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to put together a feasibility plan to figure out the cost, the ROl, and the use of all the other lands available and bring it back in 30 days. After discussion among Commissioners and staff about how much time would be needed to bring the plan back staff was directed to bring it back within 90 days. 22. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on Bill Draft Requests (BDRs) Nye County proposes to submit for the 2015 Legislative Session.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said Railroad Valley and perjury could be removed from the list as they were being carried by someone else.

Commissioner Borasky

suggested increasing the prevailing wage to $250,000.00.

Commissioner Carbone

asked about the 3% cap on ad valorem.

Commissioner Wichman

clarified that she never suggested removing the cap from private property with an appraisal on the property. Her suggestion, and what she thought was essential to avoid the $9 million abatement, was when a piece of property was sold the market had established a new value for the property and that was when that cap needed to be adjusted. Pam Webster had mentioned there was a task force working on the ad valorem tax structure but had not heard their proposal. Mrs. Webster also indicated that having the sale of a piece of property restart the assessed value for the cap was not on their watch list so Commissioner Wichman thought it might be something for the County to take up. September 2, 2014 22. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on Bill Draft Requests (BDRs) Nye County proposes to submit for the 2015 Legislative Session.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

still favored exempting counties under 100,000 from collective bargaining, but that would take more than just Nye County and he had been told it would not make it out of committee. He also suggested a diesel tax.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to make the 3% cap number one, prevailing wage two, and diesel tax money three; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Cox

shared a letter of support regarding the union exemption from Bill Cams, Chairman of Nye County Republican Central Committee. John Bosta expressed his objection to the discussion being held as there were only two bills in the back-up this morning for the public to look at.

Commissioner Schinhofen

explained this item was agendized for any BDRs the Commissioners wanted to bring forward and the back-up was just examples. Brian Kunzi added there was no requirement that there be back-up and the back-up did not define the agenda item. The question was what the agenda item described and it described that the Commissioners would take action on proposed BDRs. The only requirement for back-up was back-up given to a Commissioner prior to the meeting had to be given to the public, but it did not define the topic to be discussed under the agenda item.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Carbone.

Commissioner Carbone

noted this was a different system than what everyone else was looking at and asked if the County was going to try to use one system or just pick whatever anyone wanted. Sam Merlino advised the Treasurer was currently using this system as well as the Recorder, and she believed the Assessor was looking at the same program. She was originally going to tag on a credit card company with the new case management system, but that system could be months down the road and she could get this at no cost and start right away. September 2, 2014 23. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve a contract with Point &Pay to set up creditldebit card payments for the Nye County Clerk’s Office.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he would like to see this in the Sheriff’s Office too.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Carbone. Joni Eastley asked if these dogs would be considered Nye County property and would have to be listed as excess property by law. Brian Kunzi advised they would have to be declared as excess and the procedure for disposing of excess property followed.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked if the dogs were being cared for now by their handlers. Rick Marshall said they were, except one that was in a kennel at the Sheriffs Office as it was too aggressive and could not be adopted.

Commissioner Borasky

withdrew his motion; Commissioner Carbone withdrew his second.

Mrs. Eastley

asked if the dogs were purchased with a grant and if there was a requirement that they be disposed of in a certain way. Mr. Marshall said he did not believe so but would have to look.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Borasky.

Commissioner Carbone

asked what hospitals were connecting to this. Joni Eastley said she would get the list to Commissioner Carbone. September 2, 2014 25. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding directing the transfer of Nye County Treasurer Trust properties to Nye County for public purposes.-Cont’d. Lorina Dellinger advised when the agenda item was done she was waiting for confirmation on the last request. There were actually twelve properties, the last one being on Calvada Boulevard, and the total cost if they were transferred was $8,061.00.

Commissioner Carbone

amended his motion to adopt Resolution 2014-35;

Commissioner Borasky

amended his second; 5 yeas. H/R AND RISK MANAGEMENT 28. For Possible Action — Discussion and deliberation to approve filling the open Fleet Driver position.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve filling the position with the savings going to the stabilization fund; seconded by Commissioner Borasky.

Commissioner Cox

asked if this was to add a new position or just to replace the existing one. Dannelle Shamrell, Human Resources Manager, explained the current fleet driver filled another vacancy in the Public Works office and someone was filling this position right now. She added the School District also paid a portion of this.

Commissioner Wichman

said NACO was pulling together a collection of case studies in rural counties regarding economic development and would like to feature Nye County’s extensive work in the Brownfields redevelopment.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Bo rasky.

Commissioner Carbone

pointed out the County would waive the tip fees.

Commissioner Wichman

said that was part of the County’s matching funds.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to set the date, time and location as October 7, 2014, at 11:00 a.m.; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Wichman

read the title of the bill into the record.

Commissioner Borasky

said he would contact the assemblyman to see if he could light a fire under N DOT.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said Nevada Business Magazine listed the twelve best companies to work for in Nevada and placing twelfth on that list was Valley Electric Corporation in Pahrump.

Commissioner Schinhofen

adjourned the meeting. APROVED this ATTEST: Of ,2014. -1- Cir Nye Couiy Clerk / Deputy
