Ms. Wines

Commissioner Borasky
said Donuts with the DA in Tonopah would be March 4, 2017, in at the annex at the library. He then asked Pam Webster if anything would ever be done with the one stop shop.
Mrs. Webster
advised she was getting quotes for the roof and siding tear down right now. There was still funding to complete the project.
Commissioner Wichman
stated the Secured Rural Schools funding was not re authorized, meaning the County’s roads would take another hit in revenu es. She asked everyone who knew a congressman or a senator to please express their interest in keeping that funding authorized. February 7, 2017 5. Comm issioners’!Manaqer’s Comments (This item limited to announcements or topics/issues proposed for future workshops/agendas)-Contd.
Commissioner Wichman
advised another major concern that had come to the forefront was the ADS software package was going out and the cost to replace it was concerning. Some counties were looking at a cost of over $1 million with a $30 million investment by the State on top of the voting machines needed, which was also predicted to be $30 million for the State. Comm issioner Wichman then advised that NACO had worked hard to come up with a partial fix to the broken property tax structure. While AB43 was the subject of several newspaper articles lately where it was reported it was a tax increase, Commissioner Wichman explained that the only thing AB43 did was provide the same protection to the local government that the 3% tax cap provided to property owners by not allowing the tax bill to drop any more than 3% in one year.
Mrs. Webster
asked if it lifted the caps on homes sold at a higher value.
Commissioner Wichman
said language to reset the assessment when the home was sold had been suggested, but she did not know if that language was going to make it. She then asked everyone to educate their neighbors on AB43 as it was not a tax hike and to express their support of the bills to the senators and assemblymen.
Commissioner Koenig
said the Pahrump Veterans Memorial Advisory Committee would meet on February 16, 2017, at 4:00 p.m., and the Transportation Committee consisting of people working with the buses in the Pahrump area would meet on February 15, 2017, at 1:00 p.m.

Commissioner Wichman
said at 1:30 p.m. on March 16, 2017, in the Tonopah chambers the Northern Nye County Hospital District would have their second meeting.
Mrs. Webster
informed the Board that she received notice at the town office yesterday that effective February 6, 2017, Social Security would no longer come to the Bob Ruud Center until further notice due to federal budget issues.

Commissioner Schinhofen
said he received an e-mail this morning that Chief Lewis did the fire inspection yesterday. He asked if there was anything else missing. Callie Stark from the Sheriff’s Office advised a temporary could be done while waiting on the prints, but she had not received anything back from the chief. Pam Webster said she had an e-email she would forward to Ms. Stark, but he found no problems.
Sheriff Wehrly
said in the past a business license was required when the names were different and she asked if that was still being done.
Mrs. Webster
said she was told they were not going to be under a different operation and asked if the liquor license was in a different name.
Mrs. Stark
explained the liquor license itself was under Golden Pahrump Town LLC, and the name of the actual business was Gold Town Discount Liquor. Technically the corporation was the same, but anytime there was a business name that was going to be on the building itself there would be a separate town business license.
Mrs. Webster
stated that was not required for the same operation under the same umbrella.
Mrs. Stark
noted that any bats inside of casinos with names on them had separate, active town licenses right now.
Mrs. Webster
said she would check into that with town staff.
Commissioner Schinhofen
made a motion to approve the temporary liquor license and have the County Manager continue to look if they needed a separate town license and if they did that would be done before a permanent license was issued.
Commissioner Borasky
asked if that was for 90 days, which Commissioner Schinhofen confirmed.
Sheriff Wehrly
also confirmed for Commissioner Borasky that the permanent license would be brought back to Board. February 7, 2017 11.

Savannah Rucker explained these resolutions were taking the auditor’s final audit for FY16 and updating the beginning fund balances for these funds. A public hearing was held because these funds collected revenues from property taxes. Richard Goldstein asked where this $3 million came from.
Ms. Rucker
advised it came from under-spending the expenditure budgets from last fiscal year and pointed out these funds were not in the general fund.
Mr. Goldstein
commented there was almost $1.5 million for the Town of Pahrump that just mysteriously appeared. Pam Webster explained the budgets were prepared very conservatively for the next fiscal year without the ending fund balances of the current year. This audit report then reflected those final numbers.

Commissioner Wichman
said in light of some information from the District Attorney she would like to take no action on this. MarIa Zlotek explained she spoke with the gentleman’s attorney.

Commissioner Wichman
said there was a path to possibly name NACO as the County’s representative in this matter. However, she had been repeatedly told they would not accept NACO speaking for the County as NACO spoke for many counties and they wanted a point of contact here in Nye. Since the County no longer had a Natural Resources Director, Commissioner Wichman made a motion to name her as the point of contact and ask the County Manager to help her to see if there was some funding available to use the help of Mary Ellen Giampaoli, and to sign the non-disclosure agreement with the addition of “within Open Meeting Laws determined by the State;” seconded by Commissioner Koenig; 5 yeas.

made a motion to amend the policy on the 90 day hiring waiting period to one per department per series when promotions or transfers are approved within the respective department; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.
Commissioner Wichman
asked what series meant. Pam Webster clarified that this did not mean if someone left in June and then another person left in December the department was not subject to the 90 day hiring freeze again in December. It meant when there was a vacancy in a department and someone in that department was moved into that position then in that series of moves the department did not have to do the 90 day waiting period.

Commissioner Wichman
made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Koenig. Maria Ziotek stated it was the opinion of the District Attorney’s Office that this item could not move forward as written. Upon further review there was some ambiguity where this could be interpreted to be a criminal violation.

referred to the ambiguities and said the District Attorney’s Office would like to get back to the Board with a lengthy analysis to cover all issues so it could be written to accomplish the intent yet be consistent with possible criminal violations.
Commissioner Schinhofen
expressed his disappointment if that was the case. He asked Ms. Zlotek to take back to Angela Bello that if she was going to use that kind of language, that this was a possible criminal violation, she should inform the Commissioners before the meeting.
Commissioner Wichman
said this personnel policy manual change was to tighten up the consanguinity of employees working in the County. It was also an adjustment of where one could and could not smoke. She asked Ms. Ziotek to identify what part was some sort of a possible criminal element.
Ms. Zlotek
said her concern was the second part with the NRS 281 reference.
Commissioner Wichman
amended her motion to recommend passage of these personnel policy manual amendments and that there would be 30 days before it took effect, and without any further action by this Board to remove it then it became effective in 30 days; Commissioner Koenig amended his second; 5 yeas. TIMED ITEMS-Cont’d. 7. 10:30 Presentation by Draken International regarding a proposed project at the Tonopah Airport. Scott Poteet, Director of Business Development of Draken International, and Jared lsaacman, CEO of Draken International, were present.
Mr. Poteet
explained Draken International was founded a little over five years ago. They were headquartered out of Lakeland, Florida, with a 100,000 square foot facility where they did maintenance on aircraft. The intent behind the organization was to create commercial air service that provided a service for the Air Force. Draken had the largest privately owned fleet of tactical fighters in the world (80 aircraft) and it was their job to come up with a cost effective solution to fight a credible threat. The services Draken provided included adversary support, electronic attack, test pilot school, aerial refueling and navy ship defense. Their current customers were USAF, USMC, USNI Nellis AFB, the defense industry and Air National Guard, and their operation and maintenance exceeded the industry standards. Mr. Poteet said Draken was a fifth of the cost of what the Air Force paid to spar, and the soft cost savings prevented additional wear and tear on Air Force planes. February 7, 2017 7. 10:30 Presentation by Draken International regarding a proposed project at the Tonopah Airport.-Cont’d.
Mr. Poteet
said this concept was started in December of 2015, with 800 hours based on the service Draken provided initially. That quickly grew to 4,000 hours. Their contract continued until 2017 and Draken was competing for the following phases. Mr. Poteet said what they were proposing at this point would grow to 40,000 hours a year for the Air Force. Their primary focus was support for Nellis because of what existed there and Draken was looking to establish a location to support between 30 and 70 aircraft for that endeavor. Since Tonopah was a perfect location, Draken wanted to start a cooperative partnership with Nye County to provide support to the Navy out of Fallon as well as the Nellis and Edwards training bases. Mr. Poteet said it would bring additional jobs and infrastructure for the airport as they estimated bringing in 40 to 50 aircraft, which would be 200 to 300 additional jobs for the community. He added they were currently looking at various operations as to what was required and who to partner with to make this project possible.
Mr. Poteet
then reviewed their basic requirements, such as runway overrun, hangars, office buildings and dormitories, with fuel being one of the biggest concerns. Mr. lsaacman said their organization had done a good job of making investments in advance of the requirements of the Air Force and Department of Defense. Draken’s fleet of aircraft was purchased from other countries before there was an RFP or source thought on this. He said the math made sense and the net benefit of hours they flew at Nellis last year was over $100 million, but they had reached the limit at Nellis. He said they were not opposed to making investments, but the list was a lot for them to bite off themselves, which was why they were engaging the help of experts. He added Tonopah was a very logical area for a number of reasons, including the history. As far as infrastructure in northern Nye County, Commissioner Wichman noted there was no infrastructure there for emergency services or an emergency room. She said she had been talking with Fallon and Nellis to provide some sort of structure to help the County financially get those re-established in northern Nye and she asked Mr. Poteet and Mr. lsaacson to keep that need in mind. February 7, 2017 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 38. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding: 1) an agreement with T-Mobile West LLC for tower space rental for the purp ose of operating a telecommunications facility; and 2) a request for a Gran t of Easement from Nye County to NV Energy, described asa 11.14 foot length bein 10 g feet in width easement containing one thousand two hundred eigh five ty (1285) square feet, further described as Assessor’s Parcel #006-201 -35, 85 Hadley Circle located in Round Mountain; NV Energy, Requestor. In reviewing the clean copy of the agreement in the back-up, Comm issioner Koenig had the following questions/concerns: • On page 2 under Site Facilities, Commissioner Koenig wondered why the County was laying out money for the permits and not the tenant. • On page 3 under Rent Adjustments, it showed the first five year s and said the adjusted rent shall be increased on the adjustment date in the amoun t of 3% of the previous year rent, but it did not show what the rent would be for the remaining renewals. Commissioner Koenig would like to have the “shalt be as follows” portion stricken and have it just read “pay 3% of the previo us year’s rent.” • On page 4 under Liability and Indemnity, the word “from” should be removed from the sentence”. directly caused by the negligence or miscon . . duct of from Tenant.” • On page 6 under Releffing, Commissioner Koenig did not unders tand the sentence “In the event of the abandonment of the premises by tenant or shall take possession of the premises pursuant to legal proceedings and did not . . .“ know how to fix it. Staff was directed to bring this item back in two weeks with the correct ions mentioned.
41. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT (Three-minute time limit per
Commissioner Schinhofen
said he would explain to Mr. Goldstein later what the move meant. Bradley Berthold addressed the persistent rumors in the Manhattan area about the eventual closure of the Central Nevada Museum. He said that museum was not only a living testament of the history of this County, but it was also a cultural institution. To lose such an asset would deprive residents and visitors to learn about the County. Mr. Berthold asked the Board and the County to rethink the financial priorities and encouraged appropriation of the funding necessary. He then commended the County on the new forms showing the USDA anti-discrimination language in its entirety. David Gresham thanked the Board for their support for what he and his wife had done with the skateboard park lighting program. He advised the painting was done and there had been no graffiti since November. They were still pursuing whatever grant funding was available. Regarding item 12, Mr. Gresham said he came from Indiana and was involved with park and recreation from 1986-2000. He would like to put his name in for one of those open positions.
