Sheriff Wehrly

was present via telephone.

Commissioner Carbone

asked about items 68-72.

Mrs. Webster

thought they were going to be opened and tabled.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said to pull them.

Commissioner Carbone

added that item 12b would be continued.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas. June21, 2016

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Wichman

advised she registered for the National NACO conference in July which was why there was an agenda item about it today. She also asked everyone to bear with her as she got caught up after the election.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said the Hydro-Fest went off at the Spring Mountain Motorsports and he expressed his appreciation to John Morris and all he did. Additionally, the Independence Day parade was still slated for July 4, 2016, and people should contact Linda Wright at the VFW to sign up.

Commissioner Borasky

said he was a member of a newly formed organization in town, the American Veterans Foundation of Pahrump. Their goal was to try to catch those vets that slipped through the cracks with federal agencies due to unusual circumstances. There would be monthly meetings that Commissioner Borasky would announce at a later date.

Commissioner Carbone

advised there would be a 15 year commemorative ceremony to signify 9/11 in September. It would involve how many light sticks could be put in the air and a group of 2,000 was needed to put it in the Guinness Book of Records.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he would be in Washington D.C., July 6-8, 2016, to testify before the Subcommittee on Energy and Commerce regarding Yucca Mountain. He then asked Pam Webster how to set up an ad hoc committee for the fairgrounds. Finally, Commissioner Schinhofen said Senator Goicoechea set a hearing for his water committee in July so something would be on the July 5, 2016, agenda for the Board to narrow down some of the ideas it would support. Darrell Lacy, Planning Director, explained the purpose of that committee was to come up with legislation for the next session. Since there was an agenda item today to talk about items for the next session he suggested the Board may want to talk about it at that time.

Commissioner Borasky

mentioned the “Donuts with the District Attorney and Coffee with the Commissioners” and asked everyone in the community to attend the one coming up on July 2,2016, at the Bob Ruud Community Center from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Room A. Secondly, Commissioner Borasky said knew there had been some problems with the voting equipment and he was going to push with the Clerk to get the State to either provide some decent equipment or work with the County Manager to come up with some funding so the long delays did not happen in the future. Dave Stephens thought that was the best meeting there had ever been in the town. Lorina Dellinger advised a teleconference needed to be scheduled for June 30, 2016, at 8:30 a.m., for end of fiscal year augmentations

Commissioner Wichman

said she had an item that could be added to that. TIMED ITEMS

Commissioner Carbone

opened the public hearing.

Commissioner Wichman

reminded the Board this matter was delayed last time so the complainant and property owner could be present if they chose. She had talked with staff and some individuals had done a visual inspection. The complainant was present. The Clerk explained the attempts made to contact the property owner based on the address available. June 21, 2016 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Continued Public Hearing, discussion and — — deliberation pursuant to NRS 244.360 on a complaint alleging the existence of a nuisance located at 24 Cody Lane, Tonopah, Nevada.-Cont’d. Susan Fountain, the complainant, said she lived at 590 Air Force Road in Tonopah and was present on behalf of her neighborhood and herself. She began by reading a letter from Darlene Wilson explaining the situation at the property and asking the Board for help.

Ms. Fountain

then stated they were very concerned about health issues, which included the odor of dog feces as well as rodents hiding in the debris. The debris was also a fire hazard. There were cats living in the debris and the access door under the house was open causing more problems. Ms. Fountain’s renters who lived behind the subject house were having problems with the smell. Also, their 9 year old boy had asthma and could not play outside due to the odor. Ms. Fountain noted the property was taking values down in the neighborhood and asked the Board to please not let Ms. Fuchsel get away with this. She needed to come back from Arizona and clean up her mess or the County should take it over and get rid of the debris, the smell, and the house that was not livable.

Ms. Fountain

confirmed for Commissioner Wichman the property was unoccupied at this time.

Commissioner Carbone

closed the public hearing. Since the property owner had been served but had not picked up the notice,

Commissioner Carbone

asked the District Attorney if she had any further information on an address. Angela Bello indicated they may be able to find it as she knew Ms. Fuchsel had discussed owning property during the civil hearing on the taking of the dogs. Ms. Bello added if the Board found a nuisance she was going to need to be served with that, probably by personal service, as she had due process rights and this was her property.

Ms. Bello

said it might just be safer for her to file a complaint in district court for a nuisance, but she could try to get Ms. Fuchsel served.

Commissioner Wichman

said in the years of going through nuisances she had never run across a situation like this to do something different than what had always been done. She asked the Clerk if the Board found a public nuisance today if her office would go through the notification process. Commissioner Wichman also noted that once the lien was filed on the property and the County abated the nuisance the legal channel would take place as well. Sam Merlino said absolutely and added if her office could not find them based on the information they had they worked with the District Attorney’s investigator to get them served. June 21, 2016 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Continued Public Hearing, discussion and — — deliberation pursuant to NRS 244.360 on a complaint alleging the existence of a nuisance located at 24 Cody Lane. Tonopah, Nevada.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2016-64 finding an existence of a public nuisance by fostering a breeding ground for unchecked proliferation of rodents and reptiles living in a densely populated area, therefore it was a threat to public health, and the conditions were prime for combustibles and a densely populated area faced the threat to public safety of a fire hazard as well.

Commissioner Wichman

also mentioned the vehicles were a separate issue and should be taken up with the Sheriffs Office as there was an ordinance about how many vehicles could be parked in one spot.

Commissioner Schinhofen

seconded the motion to adopt Resolution No. 2016-64.

Commissioner Ccx

advised the lady owned property in Dolan Springs, Arizona.

Ms. Bello

noted there was still the question of who would follow up.

Commissioner Wichman

said the Clerk could bring it back when the time lapses.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to ratify the decision of the Town Manager’s termination of Michael Sullivan; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen. Dave Stephens asked why Mr. Sullivan was let go.

Commissioner Wichman

explained the Board could not discuss personnel issues in a public meeting and Mr. Stephens should speak with Pam Webster alone. Robert Adams said Mike Sullivan did an excellent job for the town and he disagreed with him being fired.

Mr. Longaker

stated this was not a bond. It was a private activity bond cap allocation. If the County did not make use of the allocation then it simply went back to the State at the end of August. He added NRHA did four tax-exempt bond issues from 2006-2009 which funded the mortgages, but it was not a bond issued by the County.

Commissioner Carbone

asked how much would happen in the County.

Mr. Longaker

said NRHA would do more in loans in Nye County than in transfers the County did.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if the NRHA would qualify to apply or leverage with RNDC to get help with the assisted living facility in Tonopah.

Mr. Longaker

advised that may be used at some time, but it could not be used this year. However, they were looking at using a low-income housing tax credit program for that facility.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to adopt; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen; 5 yeas. DISTRICT ATTORNEY 40. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) amend Nye County Resolution No. 2016-57 creating the PahrumplBeatty Township by changing the date that the PahrumplBeatty Township will separate from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2018, or 2) repealing the Resolution and either appointing an individual to fill the resulting vacancy or calling for a special election pursuant to NRS 4150.

Commissioner Wichman

noted this was already done once and wondered what inspired it to be on the agenda again. Angela Bello reviewed the history of the vacant Pahrump Justice of the Peace position and how the Board chose to merge the townships of Pahrump and Beatty via resolution. Since John Bosta raised some concerns regarding the sunset date, Ms. Bello June21, 2016 40. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) amend Nye County Resolution No. 2016-57 creating the PahrumplBeatty Township by changing the date that the Pahrump/Beatty Township will separate from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2018, or 2) repealing the Resolution and either appointing an individual to fill the resulting vacancy or calling for a special election pursuant to NRS 4.150.-Cont’d. researched it. She found some cases that were old and not from Nevada which indicated something could not be put on the ballot for an office in a township that did not exist yet. Since the township of Beatty and Pahrump would not separate until after the election, it caused her to think it needed to be reversed and brought back to 2018. Judge Jasperson told Ms. Bello this morning he disagreed with her analysis and suggested getting an Attorney General’s opinion. Ms. Bello stated her concern was if Nevada adopted the reasoning from the other states than the consequences would be rather large. Her suggestion was to revise itto January, 2018, and appoint for one year or get an Attorney GeneraL’s opinion that said that did not have to be done.

Commissioner Schinhofen

felt there was time to get an Attorney General’s opinion and bring it back.

Ms. Bello

stated she did not realize there would be disagreement and thought the Board would want to hold a special election, but waiting for an Attorney General’s opinion would eliminate putting it on the ballot in November.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he was happy with the way it was done and if the date was an issue there was still time to correct it. He directed the District Attorney to get an Attorney General’s opinion and if they adopted the other states’ opinions then it could be changed. Sam Jones said the way he understood the NRS was the County Commissioners shall appoint or elect a new person for the office, which meant the Commissioners were supposed to appoint.

Ms. Bello

clarified the Commissioners shall appoint if there was a vacancy, but the vacancy was eliminated by merging the townships.

Mr. Jones

stated there was still a vacancy as this was Pahrump, not Beatty. John Bosta said the reason he raised the question was the two townships were put together, but there would be elections in 2018. If the townships were not put back to two separate ones then an election could not be held to fill the positions and a special election would be needed in 2019.

Commissioner Wichman

said what the Board did was exactly what Mr. Bosta asked them to do because the sunset clause did what he suggested and it put someone in the seat on January 1, 2019. Until something different was received from the Attorney June 21, 2016 40. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) amend Nye County Resolution No. 201 6-57 creating the Pahrump/Beatty Township by changing the date that the Pahrump/Beatty Township will separate from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2018, or 2) repealing the Resolution and either appointing an individual to fill the resulting vacancy or calling for a special election pursuant to NRS 4.150.-Cont’d. General’s Office this would be on the ballot for 2018 and someone would be elected to take the seat at the township. Herman Lewis asked what Judge Jaspersons’s reasons were for saying what he did.

Commissioner Carbone

asked Mr. Lewis to speak to Judge Jasperson after the meeting.

Ms. Bello

said it was because there was no law that stated it could not be done and the opinions were very old. She would discuss it further with Judge Jasperson and draft a request for an Attorney General’s opinion that addressed both positions.

Commissioner Cox

felt this should go to an election or appointment immediately and said she still supported her original decision to vote against it.

Commissioner Carbone

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to adopt; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas. Items 30-32 were removed from the agenda at this time. June 21, 2016 11. 10:45 For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion, and deliberation to: - — 1) Adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2016-05: A Bill proposing to amend section 3.52.1 00 of the Nye County Code by aligning the ordinance with the language in the Nye County Sales and Use Tax Act of 2007; Removing the three-year sunset provision; providing for the severability, constitutionality and effective date hereof, and other matters properly relating thereto; and 2) Set an effective date.

Commissioner Schinhofen

pointed out this would remove the three year sunset provision.

Commissioner Carbone

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Wichman

noted Section 352.100, Expenditures of Funds, was supposed to be changed to no expenditures of funds would be permitted unless approved by the governing body of the area to which those proceeds had been allocated for expenditure, and that was not what she had in her back-up. Angela Bello advised the back-up was changed yesterday.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to adopt with those changes effective July 11, 2016; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 5 yeas. 12. 11:00 — For Possible Action: 12a. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to accept a Business Impact Statement prepared pursuant to NRS 237.090 to address the business impact of Nye County Bill No. 2016-04 pertaining to Medical Marijuana Establishments.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said item I 2b was a public hearing and made a motion to continue both 12a and 12b to July 5, 2016.

Commissioner Carbone

thought 12a could be accepted.

Commissioner Schinhofen

amended his motion to accept I 2a, the business impact statement, and that it be included in the back-up when the bill was heard; seconded by

Commissioner Borasky

said on page 8 where it stated 1,000 foot from the property line he would like to see that moved up to 2,500 feet.

Commissioner Carbone

opened the public hearing.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to continue the public hearing to July 5, 2016; seconded by Commissioner Cox; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY BOARD OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Schinhofen

assumed the Chair of the Board of Highway Commissioners. 13. For Possible Action - General road report by Public Works Director

Commissioner Carbone

thanked Public Works for some of the work being done on what he logged into the system and suggested everyone else use the system also. He then asked for the status of Bell Vista. Dave Fanning, Public Works Director, said they were working on getting a PWP number from the Labor Board to start that, but they would be a little behind schedule due to issues on the County side.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked to be told when the maintenance guys were back. Tim Carlo from Public Works advised crews were patching Comstock Park, mowers were in the area of Corbin and Jake, and they would be out in the area of Valiant and Sisk on Monday. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Carbone

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. June 21, 2016 CLERK 39. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation pursuant to NRS 244.360(5) to: 1) direct the District Attorney to notify the person responsible for the nuisance to abate said nuisance as set forth in the complaint received by the County Clerk on June 7, 2016, regarding APN 036-263-04, 1141 Dyer Road, Pahrump. Nevada and a) determine and specify a reasonable time for the person to abate said nuisance and b) direct the District Attorney to bring legal proceedings for abatement of said nuisance if the notice to the person responsible fails to abate said nuisance; or, in the alternative 2) pursuant to NRS 244.360(1) and 244.360(2), direct the Clerk to set a public hearing not less than 30 nor more than 40 days subsequent to the filing of the complaint.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he had seen the property and the photographs.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to direct the Clerk to set a public hearing not less than 30 days nor more than 40 days subsequent to the filing of the complaint and have this heard as a public nuisance on July 12, 2016, at 8:30 a.m.; seconded by

Commissioner Wichman

. Darrell Lacy informed the Board that the same group filed code enforcement complaints and the code enforcement process had started on the same property. He asked the Board for direction on how they would like to proceed.

Commissioner Wichman

asked Mr. Lacy to update the Board on July 12, 2016, asto the efforts through code enforcement.

Commissioner Wichman

stated that the difference between a public nuisance and a private nuisance was the safety and health concerns of the public in general.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion that with everything behind the fence and everything looking neat and tidy she believed the nuisance had been abated. If there were too many cars and someone wished to take issue with that then that could be brought up with the Sheriff’s Office as that was an ordinance violation, not a nuisance violation. The ability of children to wander onto the property and have trapping issues June 21, 2016 36. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the status and progress of the abatement of the nuisance located at 2421 Hacienda Street, Pahrump, Nevada-Cont’d. had been abated by putting up the fence and the attraction had been removed; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen.

Commissioner Schinhofen

did not think everything was done that the Board had laid out, but it would now be a private nuisance.

Commissioner Ccx

advised she received two e-mails this morning. One was from the original complainant who was still not happy with the situation and the other was from George Bernath who also was not in agreement with what was done. Commissioner Cox said she would like to hear from the public. Christopher Badia said he was a long time friend of “J.B.” and for the last three weeks he had been donating his time to move as many vehicles as they could. Mr. Badia advised they were still working on the vehicles and by the end of the year they might have their shop in Primm where most of this stuff was going to go.

Commissioner Ccx

said the people who submitted the letters could not be here today because they had to work, but they did have some concern about the bamboo fence being blown away by the wind.

Commissioner Wichman

said once the safety and health issues were satisfied it then became a civil matter, which was between the neighbors and the Board did not have to be involved in that, therefore her motion. Darrell Lacy said there were multiple violations of County Code here so it might end up back in front of the Board again. The property owner assured the Board he would continue with the clean up.

Mrs. Gresham

said the information they submitted was contained in the back-up.

Commissioner Borasky

noted staff was recommending a three year period to allow them to raise sufficient funding to move forward with this. He asked if they thought they could do it in that time frame.

Mrs. Gresham

said they could, but she would like to ask for five.

Commissioner Borasky

made a motion to follow staffs recommendation; seconded by

Commissioner Schinhofen

noted part of staff’s recommendation was the lighting must be in compliance with sport lighting standards. He asked Mr. Maye if he was a lighting engineer and if he could show the lighting was in compliance with those standards.

Mr. Maye

said he could do the necessary homework to make that happen.

Commissioner Schinhofen

pointed out they were also not asking for money.

Mr. Gresham

said they were only asking for support. However, they may pursue a community block grant if there was something available for them to do that and they wanted to have the Board’s support on that. Angela Bello asked who would own and maintain it.

Mr. Gresham

said it would be Parks. Pam Webster stated they were asking for permission to install on town property, which meant the town board would own it, maintain it, and pay the electric bill on it. Her concern was there was a conflicting design done by Valley Electric which met state park requirements and had a significantly higher price tag. She wanted to make sure that the design met that compliance and that it was run through the Buildings and Safety Department to make sure there was compliance with what was going to be inspected. Then they would know what budget they would need to achieve.

Mr. Maye

said he represented WhitCo LLC. He was a staff estimator and his job was to procure contractors and engineers that work within the Code to get a job done within a budget. With the Commissioner’s permission and on his own time he would dedicate June21, 2016 19. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a request to approve the installation of a properly developed lighting system designed for skating to illuminate the skate park area at the Ian Deutch Park.-Cont’d. himself to the project and invite contractors to wa’k the site and see what they needed to make it happen on that level.

Commissioner Borasky

pointed out that this would give them three years to raise the money, but there was no final approval attached to it and a future Board would have to do that.

Mr. Gresham

stated he would prefer to be held to a standard the town board would like to have and he highly recommended working together with Matt Luis as liaison representing what had to be done for the parks.

Commissioner Borasky

amended his motion to have an update every nine to twelve months; Commissioner Schinhofen amended his second.

Commissioner Cox

asked if anything worked out with the grant applied for earlier in the year.

Commissioner Carbone

said it did not meet the criteria.

Mrs. Gresham

added she had been in contact with Savannah and she was in the process of getting them on board with doing it again.

Mrs. Webster

noted there was a second round of CSBG funding coming along. Matt Luis said the Parks and Recreation Committee approved the project, but it was just priority of funding, which was why these folks were doing their best to fund the project on their own. Christopher Badia suggested going to Clark County to see what they did with Pro Park. He was also pretty sure the cost of the lighting could be absorbed by donations. Robert Adams said as a retired electrician that worked on many parks and outdoor projects he would throw his support and expertise to the project.

Commissioner Carbone

said his concern was there were a lot of projects that wanted to go on the fairgrounds and some of them were not located in the right spots according to the concept.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said the fairgrounds property had been in limbo for so long and he was glad it was being used. He was more than happy to make a motion to approve and would like to see the power gotten, the well up and running, parking, lights, and restrooms, and then have it come back. Matt Luis said that was their goal, but to figure out the size of the bathroom, where the lighting would go in, and get the dollar figures together they wanted to make sure the town board was on the same thought plan as they were.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked Mr. Luis to also identify where fireworks would be shot after this was done.

Commissioner Carbone

questioned putting lights up before the layout was known.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said only the fenced in area was being talked about now and overall as a concept he liked it. He agreed that what went on around it needed to be decided, but power, water and parking lights were needed.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to move forward with the project prioritizing power, water, and parking lights, and come back with an update by which time hopefully there would be an ad hoc to tell the Board what would go around it so it could be used, and approve the budget; seconded by Commissioner Borasky.

Commissioner Cox

asked if there would be power to the whole.

Mr. Luis

said the lighting would be for the fields, the large snack bar/restrooms in the middle, the parking lights, the well and the little bathroom by the parking lot. Power would have to be added for future projects.

Commissioner Cox

asked what the irrigation would be done with.

Mr. Luis

advised since there was no gray water available at this time the water engineers were talking well water. June21, 2016 21. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on approval of the Fairgrounds concept site plan and project budget.-Cont’d. Regarding the RV boxes, Commissioner Cox suggested using a 50 amp hook-up. She also wondered if there was any way to bring the cost down on the restroom.

Mr. Luis

explained that price came from the restrooms they were looking at for Kellogg and the plumbing was what made it so costly.

Mr. Adams

then presented his plan for the track and said they were asking for a letter of intent stating the Board’s permission to put the track there for the use of the town. They were also pursuing a grant through the Nevada Commission on Off-Highway Vehicles.

Mr. Adams

explained how the layout was flexible and once built it was simply a matter of moving dirt. The most permanent part of the facility would be the tortoise fence if required. Kevin Mayer described the economic growth the community experienced when the track in Lake Elsinore, California, was reopened in 1999. Mr. Mayer felt this would improve Pahrump’s social and economic image and thought it would be a great way to put Pahrump on the map. Mr. Mayer indicated he had people lined up to assist with building and maintaining the facility and while he understood the concerns regarding June21, 2016 22. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on: 1) approval of use of 30 to 60 acres on the Pahrurnp Fairgrounds for construction of a public motocross facility (1) 1-mile track for motorcycles over 100cc, (2) ¼ mile track for motorcycles under 100cc, and (3) ¼ mile track for bicycle motorcross, (4) additional parking and pit area; and 2) approval to apply for the Nevada Commission on Off-Highway Vehicles reimbursable grant for the development of a motocross park.-Cont’d. noise and dust, if the youth and people of Pahrump were given a proper place to do this it would cut down on a lot of anger and issues in Pahrump with kids riding the streets improperly.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if the grant process was being coordinated with staff.

Mr. Adams

believed he would have to get the go ahead from the Commission to bring staff on board. The deadline for submittal was Thursday afternoon, but construction would not begin until an acknowledgment was received on the grant. Pam Webster asked who the grant applicant was. When Mr. Adams responded it would hopefully be the Town of Pahrump, Mrs. Webster explained the Board could not approve what had not been seen. She pointed out she told Mr. Adams it had to be on the agenda today to be approved, but it was not in the back-up and neither staff nor the District Attorney had seen it either. Mrs. Webster asked if there was a match and how much it was for.

Mr. Adams

stated it was around $4,000.00 because of what they were looking at as far as restrooms and things, but they would not have to provide the road in. He said this would progress as the fairgrounds progressed and it was simply a letter of intent that the Board would allow them to do this.

Mrs. Webster

said it was more than a letter of intent. Mr. Adams was asking the Board to submit a grant in the name of the town and that was a commitment to the terms and conditions in a grant they had not seen, she had not seen, and staff had not seen.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he fully supported this project and thought the Board could state its support today, but he was not prepared to make a motion on a grant he had not seen.

Mrs. Webster

suggested delegating the authority to her to sign the grant application as

Mr. Adams

claimed it was a simple grant consistent with what had been done before. She could bring it back on the next agenda for ratification.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to have staff work with Mr. Adams, fill out the grant, Mrs. Webster would review it to make sure it did not have any strange strings to get it moving forward and she would bring it back at the next meeting for the Board to June 21, 2016 22. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on: 1) approval of use of 30 to 60 acres on the Pahrump Fairgrounds for construction of a public motocross facility (1) 1-mile track for motorcycles over 100cc, (2) ¾ mile track for motorcycles under 100cc, and (3) ¾ mile track for bicycle motorcross, (4) additional parking and pit area; and 2) approval to apply for the Nevada Commission on Off-Highway Vehicles reimbursable grant for the development of a motocross park.-Cont’d. ratify, and further asked Mr. Adams and his group to start developing the plans and the management cost; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. Christopher Bad Ia from the Way of Life BMX motocross group said he had been working on this project because he believed it could become a pro national track. He said he had a private transparent contractor willing to donate the dirt. With a letter of intent from the Commission he could also bring the plan to several members of the motocross community. Dwight Lilly thought there needed to be a master plan for the fairgrounds. Pahrump was under an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) dust control mandate. He fully supported the sport but knew what the conditions were at a motorsport track and to mitigate the dust there would be a water situation. He also wondered where the money would come from.

Commissioner Carbone

advised an ad hoc team would be put together to review this. Darrell Lacy stated the EPA dust mandate had expired as the town had met the EPA non-attainment standards. There was still a dust control ordinance in place and the intent was to enforce dust control as necessary. However, Mr. Lacy pointed out this Board had the ability to grant waivers or changes or other things needed as this moved forward. Ammie Nelson expressed her concerns with dust and noise and thought a place not so close to houses would be a better location.

Commissioner Carbone

noted there would be a decibel limit and the dirt used was different. Linda Hatley said she was in favor of having motocross and any other event like it. She would like to be on the committee as she would like to see some animal stuff on the fairgrounds. Ms. Hatley suggested putting the vehicle events toward Highway 160 and the animals on the other side. She would also like to get rid of the fairgrounds name. Don Cox supported this for the kids in town as they needed something to do. David Gresham stated his full support and applauded the Commissioners for wanting to go along. He also offered his services for the committee. June21, 2016 22. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on: 1) approval of use of 30 to 60 acres on the Pahrump Fairgrounds for construction of a public motocross facility (1) 1-mile track for motorcycles over 100cc, (2)1/4 mile track for motorcycles under 100cc, and (3)1/4 mile track for bicycle motorcross. (4) additional parking and pit area; and 2) approval to apply for the Nevada Commission on Off-Highway Vehicles reimbursable grant for the development of a motocross park.-Cont’d. Kenny Bent wondered how a track could be built with a $4,000.00 grant.

Commissioner Carbone

said there were a lot of people contributing for nothing to get it done.

Commissioner Carbone

noted this was the same property as item 75. June21, 2016 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a request for funding in the amount of $10,000 to construct a Trail-head and Dog park to be located on 9301 S. Homestead Road, APN 45-411-02 Nye County, Owner. Cont’d. Angela Bello explained this item was asking the town to fund it and then the other agenda item when sitting as the Board of County Commissioners was whether or not they could use the property. Linda Hatley reviewed her presentation as provided in the back-up. In summary, the Pahrump Public Land Advisory Committee (PLAC) was requesting permission to put a trailhead, a fenced dog park, and barbeque pits at 9301 S. Homestead Road in Pahrump and asked for $10,000.00 from the Town of Pahrump to build it. While the location was part of 30 acres pulled from the Treasurer’s trust sale for public purpose by the Public Works Department for a flood basin, Ms. Hatley advised Dave Fanning offered use of 4.999 acres.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he supported the project, but he was not in favor of a dog park or the barbeque pits as that would make it a park which would require maintenance.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to put in a parking lot and come back for what it would cost to do a traithead down Homestead past Sheri’s Ranch, tie that in and see how it worked for the next year or two and then come back with the rest; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Ms. Bello

pointed out this was a request for funding.

Commissioner Schinhofen

stated he was not saying funding yet. He was asking for an adjustment/amendment to the plan and have that brought back.

Commissioner Cox

felt this could be done in phases, but the fencing was definitely needed. She also thought the barbeque in the shade would be for the horse people to use and would not be like a park drawing a bunch of people, which Ms. Hatley confirmed. Ammie Nelson said she loved the plan, but she was against substituting the pavement for gravel because of the tendency of the area to flood which would cause the gravel to wash away.

Commissioner Carbone

suggested Ms. Nelson discuss that with PLAC. Robert Adams pointed out the east boundary of this parcel was a well used and established OHV area and building an equestrian trailhead there meant they would be accepting it as an OHV area. June 21, 2016 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a request for funding in the amount of $10,000 to construct a Trail-head and Dog park to be located on 9301 S. Homestead Road, APN 45-411-02 Nye County, Owner. Cont’d. At Commissioner Cox’s request, Commissioner Schinhofen restated his motion to come back with a plan for the parking area and a trailhead down Homestead toward the lakebed and the cost of that, and in the meantime run it by Matt Luis to see if the town had to do anything and Dave Fanning would chime in on right-of-way issues; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC PETITIONER

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to allow the County property to be used by the town for a horse and trail park provided that it met the funding criteria when it came back as presented; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

added that it also mentioned fees so there would need to be a business impact statement.

Commissioner Schinhofen

read the title of the bill into the record. CLERK-Cont’d. 37. For Possible Action Pursuant to NRS 293.387 (1), Canvass of the returns of the Primary Election held on June 14, 2016.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to accept the canvass of the votes; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. Sam Merlino stated that they did not have any issues, but it was a very poor turnout. The equipment worked great for as old as it was. The equipment was not failing and would be used through the November election, after which she would look for funding for new equipment. Mrs. Merlino explained the issues with tallying the votes on election night were due to antiquated laptops and IT would look at it and make sure everything was set for the November election. Mrs. Merlino further explained how the workers tally the vote on the machines and those were then balanced to the results in the database. They were right on the money with every vote and nothing was off, although there was a rumor that there were 1,300 votes not counted. She did not know where that came from and said she would not leave the office until everything was counted. June 21, 2016 37. For Possible Action Pursuant to NRS 293.387 (1), Canvass of the returns of the Primary Election held on June 14, 2016.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox

advised it was Clark County that had the problem.

Mrs. Merlino

said NACO had the information for what the counties needed for new election equipment. She then explained how voters registered as non-partisans could only vote for non-partisan offices in the primary because Nevada had a closed primary.

Mrs. Merlino

wanted to be sure everyone knew that and that the general election was different. ASSESSOR 28. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve an agreement with The Sidwell Company for the purchase of GIS Data Migration, Implementation and Training Services. This item was removed from the agenda. 29. Presentation of projected expenditures of money in the Assessor Technology Fund. Sheree Stringer said her presentation was in the back-up and noted most everything worked with her GIS. There were over 2000 maps that were not in the GIS system that needed to get on there.

Mrs. Stringer

then noted she had been sitting here all day since 10:00 a.m. and suggested that maybe in the future with very simple stuff like this she could get in and out.

Commissioner Cox

suggested putting them either all first or right after lunch.

Commissioner Wichman

suggested putting them all on consent where they belonged. PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR 41. Quarterly report from the Public Administrator The report was in the back-up.

Commissioner Carbone

noticed they were bringing in some money and paying their employees, but it was not very much. June 21, 2016 C LE RK-Cont’d. 38. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to appoint one (1) member to the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission due to one (1) term expiring.

For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding an Interstate Interlocal Contract between Nye County and the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, Community Health Services Program to provide services for nursing, tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases to Nye County.-Cont’d. Lorina Dellinger pointed out a staff report was added and they would like the contract to be approved based on the conditions identified. Currently the contract called for two full-time positions and there was no funding for that for FYI 7. The request was for one part-time position with no benefits for Pahrump and no position in Tonopah. The State would share resources according to conversations had. Mrs. Dellinger said they would also like to ensure that one of the conditions was the services were provided in full based on the terms in the contract.

Commissioner Wichman

amended her motion to reflect the conditions as stated;

Commissioner Schinhofen

Dave Fanning advised he was asking for approval of $800,000.00 from Fund 205, and then $400,000.00 from another fund of 205, and then the actual SRS so they could get Gamebird and Barney done. June 21, 2016 73.

advised the BDR for the hospital district could be removed as the eight page legislative intent was fine and there was nothing to be changed in that NRS.

Danelle Shamrell explained it was budgeted for the next fiscal year and was already approved. She did not know what it would cost in overtime.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Cox; 5 yeas. 66. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to fill a vacant Detention Technician position #05003-002 in the Pahrump Detention Facility effective July 1, 2016 due to the employee resigning June 5, 2016.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Cox.

Commissioner Borasky

questioned all the resignations.

Sheriff Wehrly

said she would side bar that.

Commissioner Schinhofen

thought it was important to be a cooperating agency since they stole 400 acres from the County without asking and without consent.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. Robert Adams asked if the County was subject to the non-disclosure.

Commissioner Wichman

said absolutely, but there was a clause that stated as long as it adhered to the open meeting laws.

Sheriff Wehrly

wondered what direction the Board was going in with the letter.

Commissioner Wichman

asked staff to make sure that clause was in the contract. June21, 2016 67. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve a draft letter to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting cooperating agency status in response to the notice of preparation of a Resource Management Plan (RMP) with an associated Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Basin and Range National Monument.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Wichman

said she understood the authority given to the County Manager was to handle all of it up to $50,000.00. She did not believe the County Manager was required to consult with anyone other than the Board of County Commissioners who employed her. Commissioner Wichman did not understand where this was coming from. Angela Bello advised she had received several inquiries regarding the County Manager’s authority. She was seeking clarification as to whether that authority included contracts associated with normal and routine departmental purchases; agreements associated with personnel matters not associated with litigation; and settlement agreements for litigation matters handled through the contract with the Nevada Public Agency Insurance Pool in which the financial exposure to the County did not exceed the amount of the contractual rate of retained liability and to negotiate and settle any future litigation-related disputes where the County’s obligation did not exceed POOL/PACT’s cap.

Commissioner Wichman

said she understood departmental purchases to be annual or related to that specific department for use or services within the purchasing policy guidelines but included in the budget.

Ms. Bello

asked if that would include change orders. June 21, 2016 55. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to amend andlor authorize and clarify the delegation of authority permitting the County Manager to approve, upon consultation and acceptance by the District Attorney, and execute the following contracts: contracts associated with normal and routine departmental purchases within the budget authority granted by the Board of County Commissioners; agreements associated with personnel matters not associated with litigation; and settlement agreements for litigation matters handled through the contract with the Nevada Public Agency Insurance Pool in which the financial exposure to the County does not exceed the amount of the contractual rate of retained liability and to negotiate and settle any future litigation-related disputes where the County’s obligation does not exceed the POOLIPACT’s cap.-Cont’d. Pam Webster said yes, unless it came before the Board for award. Then the modification had to come back to the Board also.

Commissioner Wichman

said she trusted the County Manager that if she wanted the Commissioners to back up what she was going to do she would bring items forward for ratification.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he did too.

Commissioner Carbone

advised that was not the issue.

Commissioner Wichman

asked Mrs. Webster if there was something specific she was concerned about.

Mrs. Webster

said she was concerned about the interpretation of the agenda item that it was limited to POOL/PACT settlement agreements because it was her understanding the threshold was the limiting factor.

Commissioner Carbone

explained this all went back to when Mrs. Webster was in Carson City getting ready to sign an issue with Utilities, Inc., where questions came up as to what Mrs. Webster could sign as there was never a list. He had asked Lorina Dellinger to have something that said Mrs. Webster could sign these so there were no more questions about her authorization.

Mrs. Webster

stated it was her understanding that it was all settlement agreements up to $50,000.00 and it was the threshold, not the contract.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he understood it was everything up to $50,000.00, as did Commissioner Wichman, and anything Mrs. Webster was uncomfortable with she could bring to the Board.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to clarify what had been done in the past to approve the County Manager up to $50,000.00 on any action; seconded by

Commissioner Wichman

; 5 yeas. June21, 2016 PUBLIC PETITIONER-Cont’d. 74. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to appoint four (4) members to the Nye County Water District CNCWD) Governing due to four (4) terms expiring.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to appoint Joe Westerlund for Area 2; Dennis GaUdy for Area 4, Position 2; Chad Goins for Area 4, Position 3; and Dave Hall for the At Large position; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Borasky

stated he had been consistently willing to not put any additional people on the water board as he did not think it was properly functioning or if it ever reached its capacity of what everyone thought it would be. He felt the big issue was Basin 162 and the test of the County was served quite well by the Central Nevada Regional Water Authority so he would vote no.

Commissioner Cox

said she would support Commissioner Borasky. She never thought this board should be put in place to begin with and felt it was a money monster that was now growing. Commissioner Cox would like to see it put back in the hands of the County Commissioners.

Commissioner Wichman

thought maybe the right combination of people would make it a viable water board for the entire County.

Commissioner Wichman

suggested Ms. Hatley take it to the Conservation District or the community weed management program in southern Nye County. Dave Caudle thanked the Board for allowing the fireworks for the 4th of July since it was his birthday. Don Cox said Dwight Lilly had infringed up on his First Amendment rights when he cut

Mr. Cox

off on the radio and Mr. Lilly should be told to practice what he preaches. June 21, 2016

Commissioner Borasky

asked to have the camera in Tonopah panned to the right about three seats so he could see ‘In God We Trust” on the wall as he had not seen it yet.

Commissioner Carbone

adjourned the meeting. APPROVED this ATTEST: Of ,2016. Chair Z C /6 Nye tDoun1, Clerk I Deputy
