; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Wichman

said the task force report was turned over to the Legislative Committee on Public Lands and the chairman decided to not entertain any conversation on it. She asked staff to collect all of the supporting information made public by the Board and send those to Senator Goicoechea.

Commissioner Wichman

stated there would be a meeting of the Mojave Southern RAC subcommittee on September 17, 2014, between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on the resource management plan and it would be video conferenced. Also, there would be a Tn-County Working Group meeting on November 7, 2014, at the Eye at 10:00 a.m., the NACO Annual Conference would be November 18-20, 2014, in Ely, and on September 19, 2014, NACO would meet in Carson City to celebrate the sesquicentennial.

Commissioner Borasky

said on October 16, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Home Depot would be the veterans stand down and on September 18-20, 2014, a revival would be held on Manse Road east of Homestead. Joni Eastley advised E Clampus Vitus would be in Belmont on September 27, 2014, to dedicate a monument to the Belmont courthouse. Sam Merlino attended CFOA in Winnemucca last week where arguments occurring in the Ninth Circuit Court regarding same sex marriages were discussed, which could very well pass. She said all the clerks were prepared to change their forms accordingly when they heard one way or the other.

Commissioner Schinhofen

noted the Fall Festival was coming up but he would be in Belmont. September 16, 2014

Commissioner Carbone

reminded everyone of the need for a joint meeting of the town and the County to work on the transition.

Commissioner Borasky

said the Fall Festival would be next weekend with the parade on Saturday.

Commissioner Borasky

noted the Tonopah jail had 13 deputies and asked what it would take to close that jail, if it would save anything, and if the cost of transporting the prisoners back and forth offset any savings. Sam Merlino reminded the voters who normally voted at J.G. Johnson that they would vote at the Pahrump Valley High School in the old gym.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he wanted to know what was going on with the illegal dumping in Amargosa. SHERIFF

Sheriff DeMeo

stated the new weapons would be for the new people. He noted the list was developed in 2007 when it was unclear what the money could be used for and what direction they would take. He also felt the numbers were on the conservative side. After confirming with Sheriff DeMeo that the pack sets and vests would also be issued to the detention deputies, Mr. Kunzi thought legally the request for two detention deputies, two patrol deputies, two detention technicians, two field service officers non- September 16, 2014 32. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a Public Safety Sales and Use Tax Spending PIan.-Cont’d. sworn, four pack sets, four vests, four handguns, two shot guns, two rifles and four uniform allowances would be in accordance with the ordinance and the Board would have the authority to authorize that today. Danelle Shamrell from Human Resources asked if this locked the County into the field service agent position with that salary as technically that position did not exist and a job description had not been developed.

Mr. Kunzi

said the Board could approve the position and then Human Resources would have to do what needed to be done to implement it.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to accept Mr. Kunzi’s statement with the exception that the dollar figures for the employees would be worked out through Human Resources; seconded by Commissioner Cox.

Commissioner Schinhofen

wondered if the field service agents could be cross trained to fill in as technicians under the job description. Sheriff DeMeo said that would have to be discussed with Human Resources due to the differences in job duties.

Mr. Kunzi

advised clarification on the number of vehicles was needed so they could be included. Sheriff DeMeo said two vehicles for the category one officers and one vehicle for the field service officers would suffice.

Commissioner Carbone

amended his motion to include three vehicles; Commissioner Cox amended her second.

Commissioner Cox

noted how expensive the pack sets were and wondered what they consisted of. Sheriff DeMeo described them as portable radios the deputies carry which were upgradeable and should last about 30 years.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked what would be done in the north. Sheriff DeMeo said he and the District Attorney would sit down and talk about that. He thought in about two years they could manage another position in those areas.

Mr. Kunzi

added they had talked about this before and how it would be appropriate for them to hire one deputy in the north and allocate that deputy on a percentage basis to the other areas. September 16, 2014 TIMED ITEMS 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to accept or reject — — any or all bids related to Resolution No. 20 14-32: a Resolution of intent to sell property located at 1683 E. Calvada Blvd., Pahrump, Nevada. Lorina Dellinger advised that as of 4:00 p.m. yesterday, which was the deadline, there were no sealed bids received so this could be opened up for oral bids.

Commissioner Schinhofen

opened the item for oral bids. There were none.

Mrs. Dellinger

stated the resolution was published in the paper for three weeks and was posted at the post office, chambers, the lan Deutch Complex, and on the Web site.

Mrs. Haynes

felt there was a need for assisted living for the age group from 21 to 101, not just seniors.

Commissioner Carbone

assumed the Chair of the Board of Road Commissioners. 15. 10:15 Sitting as the Board of County Road Commissioners For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Road Commission Resolutions establishing County public roads pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 405.191, 403.170 and R.S. 2477 Right- of-Way.

Commissioner Carbone

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to adopt RC2014-501 through RC2014-521 and RC2014-535; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas. September 16, 2014 16. For Possible Action - General road report by Public Works Director Tim Carlo from Public Works advised they spent last week cleaning up from flooding in the area and doing repairs. Next week they would start the Manse project repave. Dave Fanning, Public Works Director, said the northern end had been hit as well and the crews there had also been working hard to repair things.

Commissioner Wichman

asked about the Tonopah trash catch fence. Mr. Fanning said they were preparing to purchase it.

Commissioner Borasky

asked that someone look at the candidate signs on the corner of Manse Road in both directions and make recommendations as they impeded the line of sight.

Mr. Fanning

advised they had already addressed one candidate about those and would address others if needed. A lot of them sat on private property, but if they were out in the roadway all he could do was tell the candidate that they should be moved.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said during the last storm he took a video of the Gamebird channel at Highway 160 and it handled it really well, but another video he took of the fairgrounds showed it was a river. He would like to work with the town board on a retention basin up that road and would also like the cost for extending that channel under Malibu to Homestead.

Mr. Fanning

said he had been looking at that, but he felt building it from the low end needed to be looked at as bigger problems would be created by continuing to build from the lead in and having no place to put it. Additionally, underground fibers/utilities would be encountered the further into a community this went, which would drive the cost up.

Mr. Fanning

advised that the cost with just bridge sections was $2 million. He said there were a lot of things to look at and a lot of conversations were needed about what to do.

Commissioner Schinhofen

felt a retention basin at the fairground would help.

Commissioner Cox

asked if Mr. Fanning got the note she left him regarding an issue with the flooding on Chiquita Street. Mr. Carlo said he had attempted to resolve the issue and would follow up.

Commissioner Cox

said the intersection at Pahrump Valley and Calvada was working well and asked about the time frame to get to the rest of the intersections. Mr. Fanning advised there was a contract in the District Attorney’s Office for the Calvada section from Blagg Road down to Red Rock, which would take one intersection out of the equation. They had traffic counted the other intersections and were trying to prioritize and put a cost to them. September 16, 2014 16. For Possible Action - General road report by Public Works Director-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox

mentioned the waves in the pavement at Yucca Terrace and Calvada. She also noted a big tree at Basin and Leslie which hung into the roadway and asked to have that trimmed up.

Commissioner Carbone

wanted to make sure Mr. Fanning was still the point of contac t for the Pahrump Valley Airport.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said Public Works was in charge of the airports so he thought Mr. Fanning would be appropriate. Darrell Lacy, Planning Director, said Mr. Fanning was still the primary contact and Mr. Lacy had been going to the meetings if there were land issues. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Schinhofen

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. TIMED ITEMS-Cont’d. 11. 11:00 For Possible Action Pursuant to NRS 278.220 a Public Hearing, — — discussion and deliberation to: 1) reiect in its entirety or, 2) adopt in its entirety or; 3) adopt parts of, or 4) refer with recommended changes, to the planning commission for a report thereon, regarding Nye County Resolution No. 2014-17: A Resolution adopting the 2014 Pahrump Regional Planning District Master Plan Update dated May 1, 2014.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to refer this to the Planning Commission for their report on recommended changes, which included the recommended future land use map changes, items 1-58, which included the addendum accepted into the record by the Board today, striking item 25; the recommended changes addressed by staff pertaining to APN 045-131-54; the recommended changes to the map of the Mountain Falls properties covered under the recorded development agreement; and the recommended document text changes items 1-59 with the report returned within 75 working days; seconded by Commissioner Cox. The Board accepted into the record an addendum from Planning. John Koenig, Chairman of the RPC but speaking for himself, addressed several letters attached as part of the back-up from residents expressing concern with the zoning being changed and said he concurred with them. There was no reason to change any zoning by adopting a new master plan. The plan laid out what Pahrump might look like in the future and that changed over time. He stated he came to this meeting prepared to see or heat changes that the Board wanted to make to a plan that the RPC approved wholeheartedly, but what he found was an addendum that had some Board changes September 16, 2014 11. 11:00 For Possible Action Pursuant to NRS 278.220 a Public Hearing! — — discussion and deliberation to: 1) reject in its entirety or, 2) adopt in its entirety or; 3) adopt parts of, or 4) refer with recommended changes, to the planning commission for a report thereon! regarding Nye County Resolution No. 2014-17: A Resolution adopting the 2014 Pahrump Regional Planning District Master Plan Update dated May 1, 2014.-Cont’d. and a lot of staff changes. Mr. Koenig said he had no problem addressing the Board’s changes, but if staff wanted to rewrite the master plan again they would have their chance in a year or two when it was redone.

Commissioner Schinhofen

stated this had been almost a four year process and it should be reviewed every five years, although that did not mean it had to be changed. Cheryl Beeman from Planning explained the future land use map changes were driven from meetings with property owners, phone call conversations, and letters received as well as staWs recognition of certain scrivener’s errors that she believed were in the best interest of the community. They were under a mandate for simplification and flexibility of the master plan and she believed that had been achieved in the document presented today. Along with the addendum, Mrs. Beeman wanted to make sure the Board referred to the Planning Commission the recommended land use map changes numbers 1-58, striking item 25, and the recommended changes by staff regarding APN 045-131-54 assuring that it was 75 working days to bring the report back.

Commissioner Schinhofen

opened the public hearing. Bill Clark said he had a list of customers that would like their land use designation to stay the same and he wanted to put that in for the record.

Commissioner Schinhofen

advised that could be addressed to the RPC.

Mr. Clark

stated he wanted to have the list approved on the record. He was instructed to meet with Mr. Lacy after the meeting. Michael DeLee said he represented Mr. Kay, the owner of APN Nos. 29-631-03, 29- 631-04 and 29-631-05, which were commercial zoned properties now and that Mr. Kay wanted them to remain so in the future.

Commissioner Schinhofen

stated there would be no change in zoning as a result of the master plan.

Commissioner Schinhofen

closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Wichman

expressed her concern with the statement in the staff recommendations that if adopted this recommendation required the property owner to rezone parcels in order to implement it. She did not want to see that in a plan and did September 16, 2014 11. 11:00 For Possible Action Pursuant to NRS 278.220 a Public Hearing. — — discussion and deliberation to: 1) reject in its entirety or. 2) adopt in its entirety or; 3) adopt parts of, or 4) refer with recommended changes, to the planning commission for a report thereon, regarding Nye County Resolution No. 2014-1 7: A Resolution adopting the 2014 Pahrump Regional Planning District Master Plan Update dated May 1, 2014.-Cont’d. not understand why a plan would be created that would require anyone to do anything other than follow the plan in the future.

Mrs. Beeman

explained that if they were in a rural development residential designation property the change would put them into a commercial development area and they would want to take advantage of the higher intensity of development allowed in that to implement the master plan.

Commissioner Wichman

suggested rephrasing the statement as she felt that was part of the confusion and frustration.

Commissioner Borasky

said he would throw the whole thing out. He did not know why this was being done and why taxpayer money was continually spent on trying to change things. He asked if every property owner had been met with, if an agreement had been reached, and if they really understood because not only were categories changing but there were new abbreviations. He felt this was just making things more complicated.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said the master plan required review every five years per NRS, but he also did not think it needed all these changes.

Commissioner Wichman

felt making plans without having the property owners involved was creating a problem. Requests from residents, things needed by law, and issues like flooding should be driving changes to the master plan. Darrell Lacy stated the old master plan had a lot of shortcomings and needed many changes to meet the needs of the community that were ignored in the first master plan such as roads, flooding, and water available for development. He said there were over 40 public meetings held and two open houses which were advertised on the radio and the Web site.

Mrs. Beeman

added there was a specific NRS that stated in their analysis of land, land development and land use planning they must take into consideration the potential impairment of natural resources and the total population the available natural resources would support without unreasonable impairment. The 2003 plan did not address that.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to continue this and to have a separate meeting with the Sheriffs Office, the District Attorney and staff to work out some of the issues with this procedure. Brian Kunzi commented that at the last meeting he had asked people to contact him with changes and issues and he had heard nothing. He agreed with Commissioner Carbone’s suggestion. He said the bones of the ordinance were accurate, but things needed to be added to it and he would like to do it right the first time rather than continually amending it.

Commissioner Carbone

amended his motion to continue this public heating to the October 21, 2014, meeting in Pahrump and requested scheduling of a meeting in the interim to sit down with the Shetiff, the District Attorney and staff; seconded by

Commissioner Cox

; 5 yeas. September 16, 2014 13. 11:00 For Possible Action AP-14-0004: Public hearing, discussion and - — deliberation on an Appeal of the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission’s denial of Conditional Use Permit application CU-14-0007, a reguest to allow a 213- space Recreational Vehicle Park which includes the construction of a three acre lake on a 14-acre portion of a 55-acre parcel located at 600 S. Leslie Street, a portion of the East 1/2 of Section 18, Township 20 South, Range 53 East. American Eagle RV & Resorts, LLC Property Owner. Rene Morales, Managing Member, American Eagle RV & Resorts, LLC Applicant/Appellant. Civilwise Services, Inc. — Agent. AP# 36-171-28.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to follow the recommendation of the Regional Planning Commission to deny based on the findings and facts stated at their meeting; seconded by Commissioner Wich man.

Commissioner Schinhofen

opened the public heating. Steve Osborne from Planning stated this was heard by the PRPC on August 13, 2014, and the final action at that time was a 5-2 vote to deny the conditional use permit. This was an appeal of that denial. He explained one of the main issues was the proposed lake. Staff had recommended that the matter be referred to the Water District to allow them to review it and provide their recommendation to the Planning Commission. The applicant did not want to do that and wanted a decision by the RPC.

Commissioner Borasky

rescinded his motion; Commissioner Wichman rescinded her second.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to affirm the RPC’s decision to deny CUP-14- 0007; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. Dave Richards with Civilwise Services, representing the applicant, said these three items were brought before the RPC and voted on as a whole. He felt it was important that the master plan amendment, the zone change, and the conditional use permit be heard in the original order of discussion so they could complete their public presentation to the Board so items 12a and 12b should be heard before the appeal.

Commissioner Schinhofen

advised the Commissioners had all the back-up from the meeting and had read it.

Commissioner Carbone

noted there was some additional information added in the back up not seen at the RPC.

Commissioner Wichman

pointed out the Board could not hear additional information.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if this should be sent back to the RPC for them to see all the information that should have been provided. September 16, 2014 13. 11:00 For Possible Action AP-14-0004: Public hearing, discussion and - — deliberation on an Appeal of the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission’s denial of Conditional Use Permit application CU-I 4-0007-Cont’d. Brian Kunzi advised this was an appeal and the question was whether or not there was a factual basis to support the decision the RPC made. Whatever the facts were, the Commissioners may interpret it differently than the RPC, but opening this up to a new hearing was not provided for in the process. He said everything should have been provided to the RPC and then the Commissioners could affirm, modify or amend the decision made by the RPC based upon the information provided to them.

Commissioner Wichman

withdrew her second.

Commissioner Schinhofen

seconded the motion to affirm the RPC’s decision to deny CU P-i 4-0007.

Mr. Richards

explained the new information referred to had to do with the master plan amendment and the zone change which was submitted to Planning staff and left out of the back-up for those items. He felt consideration of those items on 1 2a and 1 2b where the Board could look at the additional information left out of the RPC hearing may have a bearing on its decision on item 13.

Mr. Osborne

stated the information did come in with the applications, but they did not put it in with the back-up. He reiterated that staff had recommended continuing the item and the applicant did not want to do that

Commissioner Wichman

noted item 13 was to uphold, remand or turn around the decision made by the RPC on this item. In doing that the Board could only look at the facts of what was presented to the RPC to make its decision and could not accept additional or new information because it was not given to the RPC. She said if they had submitted everything in 1 2a and 1 2b to the RPC the Board did not know if the decision would have been the same.

Mr. Kunzi

advised items 12a and 12b were also rejected by the same 5-2 vote of the RPC. Further, if that report was not submitted to the RPC then it was incumbent upon the applicant to submit it to the RPC. Bringing it in at this stage after neglecting to present it to the RPC was basically trying to back door something in.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if there was anything the RPC did or said that they based their decision on that the applicant believed was factually incorrect.

Mr. Richards

said yes. He felt that a major ingredient in the application for a master plan amendment was the impact study. It was a requirement on the submittal documents and was a document that talked about traffic, drainage impact, water, facilities, utilities, infrastructure, etc. They were not aware until at the RPC hearing that the document was not put into the back-up and the RPC had not read it. A lot of the September 16, 2014 13. 11:00 For Possible Action AP-14-0004: Public hearing, discussion and - — deliberation on an Appeal of the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission’s denial of Conditional Use Permit application CU-14-0007-Cont’d. discussions that happened were about items that were in the impact analysis and would have been answered rather than statements that said the applicant did not show proof of those items.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked if the applicant brought it up at the time they wanted the RPC to hear this.

Mr. Osborne

stated they did bring up the issue of it not being in the back-up, but staff did consider everything given by the applicant in their recommendation to the RPC.

Mr. Richards

said it was withholding of cwcial information to a very important committee.

Mr. Kunzi

said the applicant had the burden of proof to provide all the facts necessary to approve what they needed and it was not staff’s responsibility. Darrell Lacy wanted to make sure it was understood that one of the confusing things about this project was the conditional use permit was only for a small piece of the requested zoning change and they provided no information at all on the additional 30 acres they were asking for a zone change on.

Commissioner Schinhofen

closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Schinhofen

opened the public hearing.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to deny MP-14-0004 and ZC-14-0008 as per the recommendation of the RPC; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. Dave Richards requested these items be remanded back to the RPC to start over with all the appropriate information and to come back to this Board at a later date. Brian Kunzi stated the Board had the authority to refer item 12 back to the RPC, but could not do that with the conditional use permit under item 13.

Mr. Osborne

advised there was a six month waiting period to apply for the same conditional use permit.

Mr. Richards

stated six months would cause a problem and suggested the Board reconsider item 13 to keep it in line with the master plan amendment and zone change and send it all back to the RPC.

Commissioner Borasky

rescinded his motion.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to refer this back to the RPC for MP-14-0004 and ZC-14-0008; Commissioner Wichman amended her second; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Cox

; 5 yeas. 22. For Possible Action Approval to accept the FY13 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for a new Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) system. Vance Payne, Emergency Services Director, outlined the reasons the new SCBA and air compressors were needed and said they were pricey and expensive to maintain. They applied for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant this past year, got it, and he was asking for acceptance of it. Mr. Payne then displayed the current equipment, which he had already planned to replace next year if they did not get the grant because all of them would expire in Match.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Carbone. Scott Lewis, Pahrump Fire Chief, added this was a very competitive grant that they received two years ago and this would bring the entire County into one unified group.

Commissioner Cox

asked what would happen with the old ones. Mr. Payne said he was hoping to get a trade-in value to reduce the County’s match. They also had some compressors that need to be replaced that would have some value on trade-in.

Commissioner Cox

asked about the one dog that was not adopted out yet. Sergeant Dan Thomassian from the Sheriffs Office K-9 Unit advised that dog had some attitude problems and could pose safety issues if put in a home, even with waivers. He had spoken to some rescues that would take him and there was one in southern California that may be best suited for him. September 16, 2014 23. For Possible Action Approval to surplus and dispose of excess Nye County personal property that is no Ioner in use.-Cont’d. Steven Benson stated he owned Happy Acres Sanctuary, which was not a rescue and had special needs animals. He was a behaviorist and knew many behaviorists across the country. He offered to find a place for the dog. Sergeant Thomassian stressed the need to be sure the sanctuary fit the needs of the animal.

Commissioner Schinhofen

stated he did not like the dogs being described as personal property. They were officers and he hoped they would not have to be put down. Brian Kunzi explained the process for excessing property had to be followed. A motion was needed to make the determination that the animals were no longer required for public use and it was in the best interest of the government to dispose of them. The Board could then dispose of them as was recommended with adoption of two of them by two officers and direct what would happen to the third one.

Commissioner Carbone

so moved and included finding a place for the third dog; seconded by Commissioner Cox; 5 yeas. ASSESSOR 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve a contract with Point & Pay to set up credit/debit card payments for Nye County Assessor’s Offices.

Commissioner Schinhofen

explained at the last Energy Communities Alliance meeting there was an announcement that the week of October 22, 2014, was National Nuclear Science Week and he thought it would be a good idea to have a presentation at the museum. Staff had gotten four gentlemen who agreed to come out from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on October 22, 2014. They had also offered their services to speak to the high school that day.

Wendy Barneft from UICN gave a presentation regarding their plans for Willow Creek, which included items like dust control, removing of trees, electrical upgrades to the pump stations, cleaning up of the receiving pond, and building a second receiving pond so they could be alternated. UICN was also filing another docket with the PUC for an amendment to the 2014 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to get a prudency determination for rapid infiltration basins.

Mrs. Barnett

outlined the benefits of reuse water, such as recreation, construction, industry, basin recharge, irrigation and cooling. Regarding the future of the property beyond remediation, as a part of the 2014 IRP the PUC granted them a project to develop a master plan under which UICN saw this as being an education park. UICN had been working with various people in the community and the residents around the property had volunteered their time and effort into the project. UICN was currently working with the Red Rock Audubon Society for a grant from Toyota to do some irrigation system improvements and Pahrump Valley Disposal had offered to chip the dead trees for them. In order to get additional feedback from the community UICN would host an open mic night October 1, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. at Mountain Falls. There would also be a contest to rename Willow Creek.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if UICN would receive any credit for the rib from DWR.

Mrs. Barneft

said she did not know, but had talked to Jason King about it. As UICN had more water rights than they could possibly use, she thought applying for the credit would show there were a lot of ways to handle water rights and provide more flexibility in how UICN’s water rights, and everyone else’s, could be managed.

Commissioner Schinhofen

noted industry was also indicated as a use for recycled water. Mrs. Barneft said they had no intention of using it for industry at the site. September 16, 2014 40. Presentation and question and answer on UICN plans for Willow Creek Golf course, effluent disposal, and upgrades to sewer system and ponds.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

pointed out the back-up stated that reclaimed water was highly engineered for safety and reliability so that the quality of reclaimed water was more predictable than many existing surface and groundwater sources.

Mrs. Barneft

said it was their hope that the water they used at Willow Creek for irrigation would also be used for the Lakeview Golf Course. They were also speaking with the School District for irrigation at their facilities.

Commissioner Borasky

asked if the treated effluent water that came out of the plant could be use for irrigation where children would play soccer or something like that. Mrs. Barnett said absolutely and it would be completely safe. Additionally, in discussions with the Nevada Division of Environment Protection (NDEP) regarding her intention of getting water to the School District, right now UICN was treated to a class B effluent and NDEP was satisfied with that treatment.

Commissioner Borasky

asked who would monitor the discharge ribs. Mrs. Barneft said NDEP would have the oversight for UICN on those and added that all the water regardless of whether it went into the basin or was used for irrigation was tested before it left the plant.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if there would be monitoring wells. Mrs. Barnett said there were monitoring wells on the golf course property and at the plant, but there would be monitoring wells specific to the ribs.

Commissioner Cox

asked Mrs. Barnett to forward her some statistics regarding the reclaimed water and asked if the School District had given their approval for using this water yet. Mrs. Barneft said no and it was still in discussion. Darrell Lacy asked about ownership of the golf course. Mrs. Barnett said UICN Real Estate Holdings owned the golf course and UICN had a lease and would pay for everything that had to happen on the property. There were several business reasons to structure it that way, but the benefit she saw was UICN Real Estate Holdings was not a utility and not regulated, which would allow more flexibility to the community as to how it wanted to develop the property.

Mr. Lacy

asked what part of the project had been approved by the PUC. Mrs. Barneft advised the remediation of the ponds, remediation of the land, remediation of the pump houses, and the master plan to create something for the future. What had not been approved by the PUC were the ribs specifically, but she had tried to put everything into the IRP to show a complete picture of what the costs were and what it would take to maintain that property. She anticipated applying for the remaining approvals once the master plan was completed. September 16, 2014 40. Presentation and question and answer on UICN plans for Willow Creek Golf course, effluent disposal, and upgrades to sewer system and ponds.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked when remediation of the ponds would start. Mrs. Barneft said soon. She had a meeting scheduled with the Planning Department to see what requirements they had. A project manager was selected and the bid packages for the ponds were ready. Richard Cantino, a member of the Red Rock Audubon Society, said they applied for a grant from Toyota TogetherGreen to rehabilitate and provide irrigation infrastructure at the golf course. He was pleased to announce that whether they get the grant or not the Society would foot the bill for the material for that part of the project. They also had volunteers that were willing to participate and help.

Commissioner Borasky

asked about Mrs. Barnett’s statement that UICN Real Estate Holdings was started to bypass the regulations. Mrs. Barneff said clarified that UICN would always have to go before the PUC, the Board, and NDEP, but she thought that since UICN Real Estate Holdings was not a utility it would give them greater flexibility with those regulators.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if advertising had run for the grants administrator position. Danelle Shamrell said it was interviewed for and filled. Julie Carlo would start on September 29, 2014.

Commissioner Schinhofen

adjourned the meeting. APPROVED this day ATTEST: Of .2014. 01 Nyé Coty Clerk I Deputy
