For Possible Action Approval to accept the 2014 US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance: Bryne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) for narcotic highway interdiction.

Commissioner Carbone

believed the additional $2,500.00 was to covet anyone who signed up at a higher pay rate than the average rate of pay used to determine the cost. Paula Cooper from the Sheriff’s Office said that was correct. She added that they had used zero of the budgeted over-expense to this point in the year.

Commissioner Cox

asked what other forces were being joined with. Ms. Cooper advised there were 41 different agencies in Nevada that participated in this grant. There were set dates for certain events, like Click It or Ticket, and all agencies in the State participate in the event during that time.

said an entry for the County was being worked on.

Tom Waters said the Prostrate Cancer Support Group would sponsor a presentation on October 18, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. at The Nugget.

Commissioner Carbone

advised on October 9, 2014, the Pahrump town would work with Home Depot on the multipurpose building to add some things to it and he thought it would be nice for Commissioners and/or staff to visit the workers out there.

anticipated bringing forward an agenda item to help support the efforts of developing a mountain bike trail system in Beatty similar to the trail being completed in Caliente and asked the Commissioners to help with that endeavor. Additionally, an agenda item was needed to clean up the interior of the church in Manhattan and determine how to pay for it, possibly from town funds.

Commissioner Carbone

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Cox

made a motion to adopt; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. October 7, 2014 13. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to set a date, time, and location for a public hearing on 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 Borasky

made a motion based on staff recommendation to set a date, time and location of November 12, 2014, at 10:15 a.m. in Tonopah; seconded by

Commissioner Schinhofen

; 5 yeas. 14. For Possible Action General road report by Public Works Director Regarding the Tonopah fencing project, Dave Fanning, Public Works Director, advised the perimeter and internal fencing had gone out for purchase and the County Manager signed the perimeter extension fencing contract. That should be installed in the next month and the other should take another month or 45 days. Additionally, the Manse Road project started yesterday and they were working from Hafen Ranch Road to the west; however, there was a well that had to be capped which might delay the process a little. He said it would take three to four months at least to complete and asked the public to avoid the area if they could.

Commissioner Borasky

asked Mr. Fanning if he had followed up on his comments at the last meeting regarding the campaign signs at the intersection of Manse and Homestead.

Mr. Fanning

said staff had addressed that.

Commissioner Borasky

asked about a chip seal petition turned in by the radio station on the hill where there were no paved roads. Mr. Fanning advised that just because a petition was turned in did not make roads active County roads. As far as that one particular road in that subdivision, the roads surrounding it were not County maintained roads. He added funding was another problem and when there was funding they focused on school bus driven routes and resident population. Mr. Fanning said he would look into it.

Commissioner Schinhofen

noted there were a lot of campaign signs in the area of Manse Road where it would be tipped up and encouraged the candidates to move them. Mr. Fanning explained the process they follow to notify people to remove their signs.

Commissioner Schinhofen

expressed concern that the County would not get the money spent for the roundabouts before the deadline. He knew the Board had approved Homestead Road from Gamebird to Manse and he would like to look at an agenda item to move the capital improvement money to do that instead. Mr. Fanning stated the Board just approved the NDOT roundabout agreement and he would like to follow up on that first.

Commissioner Cox

asked Mr. Fanning to respond directly to the e-mail from Harvey regarding Greco. Also, after the first of the year she would like to sit down with the October 7, 2014 14. For Possible Action - General road report by Public Works Director-Cont’d. Board and talk about working on getting some of the right-of-ways dedicated to develop some of the roads. Regarding the roundabouts, Commissioner Cox advised she was still getting complaints about them and people were asking for them to not be done.

Commissioner Carbone

said he would like to sit down and talk about what could be done about Farm Road. He then asked about the dumping of construction waste in Amargosa.

Mr. Fanning

thought Commissioner Carbone was referring to the ABC Mill, which was now under the direction of NDEP. Nye County did receive an alleged notice of violation, but Mr. Fanning was not sure of the response from the County to that letter.

Commissioner Carbone

asked about the clean-up at the dairy. Mr. Fanning stated he received a called from IWP advising they had shut down their operation last week and were looking elsewhere, possibly outside of Nye County. He made them aware that NDEP was involved in the investigation. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Schinhofen

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. TIMED ITEMS-Cont’d. 9. 10:45 For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to: 1) - — adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2014 23: a Bill proposing to pass an Ordinance to designate portions of paved county highways located within the area known as the Hadley Subdivision as depicted on the attached map and list for the operation of off-highway vehicles for the purpose of allowing said vehicles to reach a private or public area that is open for use by off-highway vehicles; and 2) set an effective date.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to adopt Bill No. 2014-23 with an effective date of October 27, 2014; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Schinhofen

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Borasky

assumed the Chair of the Licensing and Liquor Board. October 7, 2014 LIQUOR 15. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding three 72 hour special permits for White Glove Ranch, LLC. Gloria Munozg Applicant.

Commissioner Borasky

asked about a fight that had occurred at the location resulting in five arrests and two officers being injured.

Sheriff DeMeo

said they were notified of a fight and he instructed dispatch to notify appropriate personnel to respond. Several people were pepper sprayed for interfering with the arrests and two deputies were sent to the hospital to be checked out. Sheriff DeMeo did talk to security, who told him they had wanted more people there and did not expect the event to have as many people, which totaled about 1,200.

Commissioner Borasky

stated this was a privilege license. After hearing all of the information he refused to sign anything going to that property and brought it to the Board to let them decide. Jose Munoz from White Glove Ranch stated there were people bringing their own drinks to the event in question. They thought they had plenty of security, but this incident was a carryover from an incident that started elsewhere. Security called the police to make sure it was kept under control.

Sheriff DeMeo

noted everything outside the walls of White Glove Ranch was secure, but there was no security policing the parking lot where there was a lot of debris involving liquor being brought in by the participants, which was his concern. With 72- hour permits the only alcohol that should be there was alcohol they could control and these issues would not arise. Sheriff DeMeo advised the owner did state that they would hire four members of the Sheriffs Office at the next event to maintain the peace and make sure there was a deputy presence on the scene. He added that while it would be up to the Board, he did have a problem mass signing 72-hour event licenses.

Commissioner Borasky

said he had hoped the owner would have mentioned having additional security and asked Pam Webster to follow up on the multiple permits issue they had at one time. Since expenses were incurred from this event due to overtime and sending officers to the hospital, Commissioner Schinhofen asked if a bond could be required. Brian Kunzi advised the Board could impose any conditions it wanted to on the issuance of these permits. He also mentioned that if this event exceeded 1,000 people there was an outdoor festival permit that may need to be addressed. He said not issuing a license and allowing anyone to bring what they wanted to bring was not a good idea and recommended the issuance of a permit with the conditions needed, although he also thought it would be appropriate to do one license at a time, not all three. October 7, 2014 15. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding three 72 hour special permits for White Glove Ranch LLC. Gloria Munoz, Applicant.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve one 72-hour permit with the conditions of an additional four deputies and some kind of bond put up to cover costs should this happen again.

Mr. Kunzi

advised there should also be a ban on any outside alcohol.

Commissioner Schinhofen

amended his motion to add a ban on any outside alcohol, require a $15,000.00 bond, and if more than 1,000 people were expected an outdoor permit must be obtained; seconded by Commissioner Carbone with the addition of October 11, 2014, as the event date to be approved.

Commissioner Cox

asked several questions regarding how often these types of events were held, how they were advertised, and whether the applicant was running a business. She also expressed concern with people drinking and driving after the event and traffic control.

Mr. Munoz

explained the events happened once a month with anywhere from 250-400 people, but rarely did they get to 1,000 people. He said this particular event had a higher caliber of horses and attracted a higher number of people. While he occasionally made a profit, Mr. Munoz stated all the money went back into feeding and caring for the horses.

Sheriff DeMeo

assured Commissioner Cox there was no problem with the amount of traffic leaving the site.

Mrs. Webster

noted it was too late to apply for an outdoor festival license for the October event and suggested the applicant consider a security plan.

Mr. Kunzi

clarified the other two licenses were still pending and they did not have to reapply. 16. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a State Winemakers License renewal from the Nevada Department of Taxation for Sanders Family Winery. Jack Sanders, Applicant.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissione r Carbone; 6 yeas. October 7, 2014 17. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a Retail Liquor License for Tower Pizza, LLCI 3561 E. KeIlo Road, Pahrump, NV. Vincent Conglu, Applicant.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Sheriff DeMeo; 6 yeas. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Schinhofen

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. TIMED ITEMS-Cont’d. 10. 11:00 For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to: - — 1) adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2014-24: A Bill proposing to amend Nye County Code Chapter 5.32 pertaining to the special business tax on transactions relating to Medical Marijuana Establishments; and providing for the severability, constitutionality and effective date thereof; and other matters properly relating thereto; and 2) set an effective date.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to adopt Bill No. 201 4-24 with an effective date of October 27, 2014; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Schinhofen

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Borasky

noted the State also had a health inspector that did those inspections. The County had tried to encourage the State to base someone in Nye County and wondered if there was still a possibility of doing that. Mr. Pollock said they would be happy to station someone in Pahrump, but the problem in the rural counties was recruiting qualified applicants. They had initially opened up their recruitment specifically for Pahrump and interviewed several candidates. One was a Pahrump resident, but they did not feel the person was the right person for the job and ultimately hired someone from Las Vegas. Mr. Pollock stated if the County were to provide office space for them they would be happy to provide office hour coverage.

Commissioner Borasky

asked Mr. Pollock to contact the County Manager regarding that and send him the qualifications so he could do a private search. SHERIFF

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Carbone; 5 yeas. PUBLIC WORKS

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Carbone. October 7, 2014 51. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding Amendment No. 2 to the State of Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) resolution “9-2014 Nye County for the Town of Gabbs Project Loan Commitment Resolution” to amend the scope of work to include the replacement of the storage water tank floor and supplement its cost. Cont’d. Pam Webster explained this was a reimbursement of the cost from the revolving loan fund and it would replenish the reserve that was in the utility enterprise fund.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked if this was a not to exceed amount. Dave Fanning said it was.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve with a not to exceed amount of $203,200.00 from SRS funds; seconded by Commissioner Carbone.

Mr. Fanning

advised that if NV FLAP threw anything back the project would be scoped down to where it could still be done, whether a full build out or just paving the street.

Commissioner Borasky

questioned $4 million for eight-tenths of a mile.

Commissioner Wichman

explained the reason it went so far over was because for the first figures they scoped it out like it was in an urban area. When they realized where Manhattan was, the prices went up considerably to get the aggregate and batch plant and everything else out there. If this did not float at the not to exceed amount, it was

Commissioner Wichman’s

recommendation that rather than getting a strip of pavement .8 of a mile long the town would be happy with a well bladed, maintained gravel toad.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to set the public hearing for November 12, 2014, at 10:45 am. at the Board of County Commissioners chambers in Tonopah; seconded by Commissioner Wich man; 5 yeas. 49. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a request to release all except fifteen (15) percent of the financial security related to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) for Mountain Falls Planning Area 3-3A, Villa Serena Unit 1, located within the Pahrump Regional Planning District in the Mountain Falls Master Planned Community, the fifteen percent to be retained for the two year maintenance and two year warranty periods. William Lyon Homes, Inc. Property OwnerlApplicant. Greg Moynahan, Project Manager Agent.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to release all except 15% of the financial security related to the subdivision improvement agreement for Mountain Falls Planning Area 3-3A, Villa Serena Subdivision Unit 1; seconded by Commissioner Borasky.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if a team was being set up to go through the bonds the County had. Pam Webster said a team had been initiated with Public Works and Planning to review the outstanding bonds at this time. They had updated the records and had an active list. They would be meeting with the District Attorney to go through them all to make sure any issues that might arise were cleared up before they got to this point.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to set the time and date for a public hearing on November 12, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. in Tonopah; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Carbone

read the title of the bill into the record. The Board was in recess until 1:30 p.m. ASSESSOR 27. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to terminate a contract with Point & Pay for crediUdebit card payments for the Nye County Assessor’s Offices.

Commissioner Borasky

was not present. Pam Webster explained this contract was approved at the last meeting and was the contract that had been submitted by the Assessor to begin accepting credit card payments in her office. The Assessor decided that she wanted to go with a different vendor, and this contract was never sent to the vendor for execution.

Commissioner Wichman

noted the Clerk brought an agreement forward with the same outfit recently and thought she had said in that meeting that this was the only outfit that did not charge the County. Sam Merlino clarified that it was a different way of charging the County. She would not have to worry about reconciling the vendor fees as the user paid them directly which was good for her office as it was under statutory obligations to not overcharge.

Mrs. Webster

advised the new contract was not complete through review yet by the District Attorney. When it was brought back an analysis of the two contracts would be provided so the differences could be seen.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he was not inclined to just not move forward with this. He knew it was being used in two other places and understood the Assessor did not want to use this vendor, but wondered ultimately whose authority it was. Brian Kunzi advised that ultimately it was the Board’s decision, with advice from the offices, but there was an issue of uniformity of contracts. He said there were liability issues with the other contract due to the chip technology they used. If something went wrong then the County was responsible for whatever transactions were hanging out there. Having October 7, 2014 27. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to terminate a contract with Point & Pay for credWdebit card payments for the Nye County Assessor’s Offices.-Cont’d. gone through a day where everything was lost it was unnerving to him to think the County would have that exposure. He added there was also an issue from his initial indication that there may be some cost to the County with the other contract, but not with the Point and Pay contract.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to hang on to this until the next meeting and look at both contracts; seconded by Commissioner Cox.

Commissioner Carbone

expressed concern about the cost.

Mrs. Webster

stated that per NRS the County could not bear the cost of a credit card system. It had to be given back to the person using the service. She would have to do an analysis of the differences in fees between the two companies as well as the way they were collected and bring that back. She was concerned about the public paying one fee in the Clerk’s and Treasurer’s Offices and another in the Assessor’s Office if there was a difference.

Commissioner Cox

asked if the Assessor gave a reason for not wanting to use this.

Mrs. Webster

said the Assessor advised she had made a commitment to GovTeller and wanted to stand behind that commitment. Due to the delay in having the contract reviewed by the District Attorney and having the needed changes made she chose to go with Point and Pay.

Mr. Kunzi

stated the Govleller contract was never submitted to the District Attorn ey’s Office for review. They first got the Point and Pay contract, then the Govleller one, and then they were told to stop working on the GovTeller contract because the Comm ission was going to take action on the Point and Pay one.

Commissioner Wichman

did not think it was reasonable for this Board to deny an action it had no authority over and suggested sending a letter in support of the Beaffy Town Advisory Board.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to write a letter in support of the Beaffy Town Advisory Board’s letter; seconded by Commissioner Carbone; 5 yeas. 32. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a Cooperative Agreement between White Pine, Lincoln, and Nye County for the Noxious Weed Management Program.

Commissioner Wichman

explained this was an agreement that was always in place because it was required and it was time to do it again. It was a ten year agreement.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. 33. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a Resolution to petition congress regarding public lands concern such as federal agency travel management, Sage Grouse management, federal agency interim management memorandums, wildhorse management, wilderness designation, transfer of federally managed lands to the State, federal agency threats and other public land issues.

Commissioner Borasky

said he had gotten a request from someone in the audience to dilute the resolution but would not do that. There was some really good strong language in it and it mirrored Elko and White Pine Counties.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. October 7, 2014 33. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a Resolution to petition congress regarding public lands óoncern such as federal agency travel management, Sage Grouse management! federal agency interim management memorandums, wlldhorse management, wilderness designation, transfer of federally managed lands to the State! federal agency threats and other public land issues.-Cont’d. Both Commissioners Carbone and Cox expressed concern with the language regarding horses and burros.

Commissioner Wichman

advised that language followed the Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971 as amended. Priscilla Lane read a letter written by Arlene Gawne, the head of the Spring Mountain Alliance Group, stating her opposition to the removal of thousands of excess wild horses in Nye County by BLM and USFS as well as requiring them to maintain the appropriate management levels under the Wild Horse and Burro Act. She urged the Commissioners to have BLM and USFS begin emergency remote darting to control population. Mrs. Lane added her suggestion to return the 60,000 horses the BLM had to the states that had zero horses rather than euthanizing them.

Commissioner Wichman

stated she completely agreed with the letter as it referenced southern Nevada, but it was not taking into consideration 98% of Nye County. She would also like to know the spots that had been zeroed out of horses as indicated by

Commissioner Carbone

encouraged Ms. Lane to develop plans for the northern portion of the County as well.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Cox; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Wichman

said the word “that” before the word “Congress” needed to be removed as well as the word “should” before “develop” on line 17. October 7, 2014 36. NACO Update The update was in the back-up. 37. For Possible Action Presentation, discussion and deliberation regarding the basis for the Sheriff’s Office department budget and distribution of said budget. Pam Webster said she had summarized the information to present the basis for the budget based on last year’s budget, but she had not had a chance to review it with the Sheriff. She would like to do that and bring the report back. She asked to have the rest of the services and supplies released at this time.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to release the funds as indicated by the County Manager; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas. RECORDER 38. Recorder’s Technology Update The update was in the back-up.

Commissioner Schinhofen

mentioned the Clerk’s Technology Fund. Sam Merlino advised that at the last Clerks meeting they did discuss possibly looking to the Legislature to adopt some regulations to allow them to charge on top of copy fees for document retention. TREASURER 40. Treasurer’s Report The report was in the back-up. COUNTY MANAGER 41.

For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding one Medical Indigent inpatient hospital bill in excess of $12,500.00. Pam Webster clarified the deductible was $25,000.00, not the $93,000.00 shown on the bill, and the request was to pay the $25,000.00.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Carbone; 5 yeas. HIR AND RISK MANAGEMENT 44. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve hiring one part time office assistant in the Assessor’s office. This item was removed from the agenda. 45. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve filling the vacant UISFA Caseworker position in the District Attorney’s Office.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said there were provisions in the County Code and employee manual regarding bullying and he did not see the need for the proclamation.

Commissioner Carbone

said he had talked with Human Resources and it was pointed out to him that the petitioner just wanted the week of awareness. The item died for lack of a motion.

Commissioner Borasky

said people might want to check their finances as he caught on the radio on the way in that the stock market dropped about 260 points today. Sam Merlino advised she was conducting pre-logic and accuracy tests on the voting machines starting tomorrow through Friday and everyone who would like to observe was invited to Tonopah. She also reminded everyone that there would no longer be voting at J.G. Johnson. Voting would be at the Pahrump Valley High School in the old gym and early voting started October 18, 2014.
