Commissioner Koenig

said per NRS item 4 from the last special meeting would come back at the next Pahrump meeting because of the tie vote.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he asked the Town Manager to look into bringing forward the option of combining all of the advisory boards into one town advisory board. His idea was to leave the tourism board as the tourism board, and the chairmen of the other five boards would sit on the one town advisory board for the first term. TIMED ITEMS

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he had no problem doing another one of these, but if it was going to continue he thought an MOU should be put in place.

Commissioner Schinhofen

assumed the Chair of the Board of Highway Commissioners. 10. General road report by Public Works Director

Commissioner Koenig

asked if Homestead was on schedule or if the rain caused a delay. Tim Dahi from Public Works advised rain caused one day of delay because they just could not work. Additionally, there would be a request by the contractor to extend the contract at no cost to the County for a couple of weeks because of some additional work they had been tasked to do. A fiber optic line was found too close to the surface within the road excavation portion.

Commissioner Borasky

asked Mr. Dahl to address the large pothole on Kellogg between Fox and Santovito along with the ones starting because of the rain on Money just north of Manse.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if Mr. DahI had received anything from Hadley, to which he replied no.

Commissioner Wichman

said she saw they had an agenda item to just turn the money they had been collecting on their sales tax over to the County and suggested Mr. Dahl touch base with them again.

Commissioner Borasky

said he did not understand why the pavement from the VFW south was ripped up for the Homestead project and everyone had to drive on that compressed asphalt for weeks and weeks now. It seemed to him it would have been a little better to leave the pavement on that road to make it easier for people to get in and January 16, 2018 10. General road report by Public Works Director-Cont’d. out. He asked Mr. Dahi to consider that on the next job when there was an organization that was quite busy.

Commissioner Schinhofen

reminded Mr. DahI about the bamboo on Manse.

Mr. DahI

advised there were some stakes out there that showed the property line and they went to that line.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said VEA had the right-of-way in there and that Mr. Dahi might want to talk to them.

Commissioner Koenig

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH 11. 10:30 Presentation regarding review of potential health programs and services for Nye County by the State Dental Health Officer with Southern Nevada Health District. Nye County Health Officer Maureen Budahi said she had been working for the past 20 years to improve the health of the residents. Nevada as a state ranked 50 in public health funding compared to the other states in the country, and ranked 43 out of 50 in policies addressing health issues. Nye had also consistently ranked in the bottom three counties for all health behaviors and health indicators. With Ms. Budahl was Dr. Joe Iser from the Southern Nevada Health District and Dr. Antonina Capurro, the State Dental Health Officer, who had a proposal for the Board for a collaborative effort to do some cross-jurisdictional sharing to bring needed services into Nye. Dr. lser advised about a year and a half ago he and Dr. Packham decided to buy a health services van to provide services in Nye County with the idea of sharing that with local counties.

Dr. Capurro

explained the Division of Oral Health program was to promote, detect and improve the oral health of Nevadans. She said they were very excited to bring services to the rural areas and hoped to build upon what was found during this collaboration. The focus of the project was to provide case management to those patients. She reviewed the statistics regarding the average number of dentists per 100,000 of population in the United States, in Nevada, and in Esmeralda, Lincoln, Nye and White Pine Counties.

Dr. Capurro

then discussed mobile health/dental vans and how they had improved individual health outcomes and reduced hospital stays. Their proposed trips were from Las Vegas to Pahrump to Goldfield to Tonopah to Las Vegas, and Las Vegas to Pioche to Ely to Las Vegas. Third and fourth trips were being designed. Depending on January 76, 2018 Ii. 10:30 Presentation regarding review of potential health programs and services for Nye County by the State Dental Health Officer with Southern Nevada Health Districi-Cont’d. successes and failures they hoped to petition the State for extended funds to do it again in the fall. As far as services, Dr. Capurro advised there would be a dental hygienist on the bus for screening, preventative dental services, education and case management.

Dr. Iser

said on the medical side they planned on starting with immunizations for children and whatever the County felt was needed as well. They had the mobile services van, which would come at no cost to anyone, along with a nurse, a driver, and a medical assistant. They had asked the State to provide the daily equivalent of those wages to them as Dr. Iser was not comfortable with using tax money collected in Clark County for services in other counties. Dr. Iser said they were asking Nye County for in- kind services. He also asked the Commissioners to tell them where they should go with the van, help them do a needs assessment, allow them to hook up to County electricity and water, and advertise for them.

Dr. Capurro

said they wanted to make this project as successful as possible so the Board’s help in marketing the event would be appreciated. Their goals for this endeavor were to increase access to care in the rural communities, gather information on the unique health challenges in rural Nevada, complete an oral health needs assessment of the patients, build a sustainable clinic model, and explore the feasibility of tele-dentistry and use the data gathered to apply for external grants and creative funding sources.

Dr. Iser

said the final thing they would ask for was some sort of security wherever they might overnight the van.

Commissioner Wichman

encouraged them to get on the agenda for the Northern Nye County Hospital District and present this to them. Secondly, she understood exactly what they were trying to do with their goals, but noted that in Tonopah the people were looking for cavity fillings and extractions. She asked if there was a chance those would be part of the van.

Dr. Capurro

said they were. She explained this was a pilot project and based on the experience they would expand. Beth Ennis stated there was a need in Tonopah. She highly supported the proposal from Dr. Capurro and Dr. Iser and felt dental was the biggest need because there was no dentist in Tonopah that took Medicaid, saw children, or was there on a regular basis.

Ms. Budahi

said she was vested in the health and welfare of the citizens and this was a really good opportunity and starting point. The sense she had gotten from both doctors was they could do what was needed as long as the County was willing to partner with them. Further direction would be needed as to where the Board wanted them to go from here, but she said the biggest thing needed today was the Board’s support. January 16, 2018 The Board took a brief recess. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FINANCE

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion based on staff recommendation to approve 1) renewing the janitorial services contract with A to Zzz Environmental, Inc., for an additional one year period with an effective date of March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2019; 2) amend the contract to include carpet cleaning for all Nye County facilities in the Pahrump area in the amount of $11,763.20 for a total contract amount of $156,591.20; and 3) fund from 10101 Nye County General Fund, 10291 County Owned Building Fund and 10340 Grants Fund (Ryan White); seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Cox

asked if this went go out to bid or if it was required to. Danielle McKee, Grants and Contracts Manager, explained it went out to bid last year and was awarded to A to Zzz Environmental. Section 3 of the contract stated it shall be for a period of one year with an option to renew annually for an additional one year period for no more than two additional terms. This was the renewal with a revision to the scope to include carpet shampooing so it did not go have to go out to bid.

Commissioner Cox

stated her understanding that anytime a change was made it had to go out to bid.

Mrs. McKee

said since the carpet cleaning addition was below the County Manager’s authorized level to approve an amendment to the scope was done to include the carpet shampooing.

Commissioner Cox

pointed out that changed the whole bid. Tim Suffon stated his understanding of his authority was that anytime a change order came below the $50,000.00 threshold, his signatory authority, that he had permission to sign that. If that was incorrect he asked the Board to let him know as that was what he had been doing.

Commissioner Cox

thought it originally included carpet shampooing and upholstery and did not think this was fair to the first round of bidders. January 16, 2018 32. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) renew the Janitorial Services Contract with A to Zzz Environmental, Inc for an additional one year period with an effective date of March 1, 2018 thru February 28, 2019; 2) amend the contract to include carpet cleaning for all Nye County facilities in the Pahrump area in the amount of $11763.20 for a total contract amount of $156,591.20; and 3) Fund from 10101 Nye County General Fund, 10291 County Owned Building Fund and 10340 Grants Fund (Ryan White).-Cont’d.

Mrs. McKee

advised the carpet shampooing was removed two terms ago for budgetary reasons. The Sheriff and the County Manager did have their offices cleaned separately with the cleaning company, which they paid for out of their own budgets. That brought up adding it back in this time.

Commissioner Koenig

said this contract called for vacuuming of the carpets in Administration, but it did not seem to be happening as there was stuff on his carpet that was there day after day and after the weekend. He had complained about it and it did not seem to get fixed. Commissioner Koenig said he needed that fixed or he needed a remedy.

Mrs. McKee

apologized and said she would bring it up with the cleaning crew. Harry Baut, president of the Synergy Plan, who held the contract from 2014 through 2016, stated the representations Mrs. Mckee made were not correct. He had the bid confirmation form that everyone bid on which listed shampooing the carpeting and upholstered furniture was a biannual duty, not once a year. He said they were doing that and in the three years they had the contract that was a requirement. Mr. Baut noted this agenda item said there was no financial impact, but he saw $11,763.20 as a material number so there was a financial impact. Further, in the body of the contract awarded last year there was no mention of biannual shampooing of carpets, but it did state they would do the courthouse. In this amendment Mr. Baut thought the Board was essentially paying for the same thing twice. He also advised this was a sealed bid and one of the bids was lost and then brought up the next day. He met with the District Attorney who assured him there were no integrity issues; however, to change the scope of work moving forward was wrong. Mr. Baut asked the Board to table this, put it out for bid, and follow the procurement rules per NRS.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked if there any legal issues here, to which Maria Ziotek responded no.

Mrs. Mckee

said in looking at the February 20, 2017, meeting back-up when the contract was approved the RFP document only included shampooing non-upholstered furniture. The carpet shampooing was removed.

Commissioner Cox

did not think this was fair to the other competitors and that it should be put out to bid. January 16, 2018 32. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) renew the Janitorial Services Contract with A to Zzz Environmental, Inc for an additional one year period with an effective date of March 1, 2018 thru February 28, 2019; 2) amend the contract to include carpet cleaning for all Nye County facilities in the Pahrump area in the amount of $11,763.20 for a total contract amount of $156,591.20; and 3) Fund from 10101 Nye County General Fund, 10291 County Owned Building Fund and 10340 Grants Fund (Ryan White).-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

advised the RPC voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the zone change with the condition that if the current business ceased to operate at the subject location then the CM zoning would revert back to NC zoning.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to uphold the RPC’s decision based on the findings and also subject to the conditions stipulated in the report; seconded by

Commissioner Koenig

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said this was an operating medical marijuana establishment that wanted to do recreational. The State was waiting to issue them a recreational license until the County gave them an SUP.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve the SUP and within 90 days they had to be open and operating; seconded by Commissioner Ccx.

Commissioner Koenig

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Wichman

asked to be removed from this. She said this group had not met since June, 2016 and she would like staff to look into whether this was required by NRS. Her issue was that they were restricted in their actions to just County parks. Since there was only one park in Crystal she did not know why the County needed to expend the energy and recruit people. Sam Merlino added that last year they met with only four members as that fifth positio n could not be filled. This year her office advertised six times and still could not get live people interested. Staff was directed to bring back a recommendation about keeping this board.

Commissioner Wichman

said she was against hiring an attorney to track this stuff down and spending money on something like this.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to deny; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen. Deputy District Attorney Bradley Richardson advised that based on statistics provid ed by the State of Nevada, Nye County had over 50% more prescriptions written for opioids than both the State and Clark County on average. The financial impact on Nye County medical, law enforcement, drug court services and social services was tremendous. Mr. Richardson said over 200 plaintiffs had filed cases with anothe r 100 to 200 potential plaintiffs waiting to file suits. He said there would be no cost to the County to retain one of the law firms, and one firm they spoke to would take a contingent fee if successful of only 25% and cover all costs.

Commissioner Cox

understood if this was done the idea was to bring a lot of money to the County to help reimburse for its costs over the years dealing with this proble m. She January 16, 2018 25. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) authorize Request for Proposals from law firms to associate with the District Attorney to institute legal action against opioid drug manufacturers and distributors; and 2) authorize the County Manager and District Attorney to iointly select one or more law firms from the submitted proposals to present proposals to the Board of County Commissioners.-Cont’d. said right now there was an extremely bad problem with black heroin and methamphetamines in the County.

Mr. Richardson

said that was correct.

Commissioner Koenig

said so in effect the County was paying nothing and hoping to get something.

Mr. Richardson

said right. The District Attorney’s Office was requesting authority to send out an REP. They would then provide the names of firms that responded to make a presentation before Nye County considered authorizing any of them or entering into a retention agreement for them to file an action.

Commissioner Schinhofen

had a problem with class action lawsuits as the only people who really got money were the lawyers. There was mention of black tar and meth, but this was going after the manufacturers of legal prescription drugs. He also wondered just how much the big windfall would be with so many people suing.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if this action would actually fix any of the problems with the opioid addiction or help the people as she did not see where it would.

Commissioner Cox

wondered if this was considered a class action lawsuit or an action by each individual county to receive separate funding. She thought this money could go towards illegal drugs as well. She said the idea of the item was to try to learn things and she supported the item as far as being able to look into it.

Mr. Richardson

said it was not a class action. These were individual plaintiffs and in the case of the federal plaintiffs their cases were consolidated.

Commissioner Wichman

felt this would take years to litigate and by the time it went through all the regulations and settlement process the County would have spent a lot of time and energy on nothing that helped the people and nothing that helped the County offset its costs. She stated her motion stood. Debra Strickland said the District Attorney had an opinion that stated the Board of County Commissioners could get involved in something to bring up awareness if nothing else. It would not cost anything to start and Mrs. Strickland suggested the Commissioners make their minds up after they had more information. January 16, 2018 25. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) authorize Request for Proposals from law firms to associate with the District Attorney to institute legal action against opioid drug manufacturers and distributors; and 2) authorize the County Manager and District Attorney to jointly select one or more law firms from the submitted proposals to present proposals to the Board of County Commissioners.-Cont’d. District Court Judge Kim Wanker, who was also the drug court judge, explained how drug court had never been larger with over 150 people a day drug tested. If the Commissioners did not think there was a drug problem in the County she suggested they sit through drug court. John Bosta did not see where the County could say this was its issue because a doctor prescribed legal medication to people in the community. He did not believe it was the County’s place to sue for something they had no interest in.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said he knew there was an addiction problem, but this did not help it. He suggested waiting to see if the new laws helped.

Commissioner Borasky

thought the Board should do what it could to attack the problem and he would rather approve this than deny it.

Commissioner Wichman

stated if this item brought some relief to the courts or to those people who were suffering from addiction she would be all for it, but it did not. It was an opportunity to employ attorneys and quite frankly she thought they needed to find some other way to be employed. She said her motion stood.

Commissioner Cox

made a motion to approve sending this forward to the District Attorney; seconded by Commissioner Borasky; 3 yeas. Commissioners Schinhofen and Wichman voted no.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked if this would come back with proposals.

Commissioner Koenig

said yes, which did not mean the Board was hiring. This just gave them permission to look which cost nothing. COUNTY MANAGER 26. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to re-designate terms for four (4) members on the Peace Officer Advisory Review Board from two (2) year terms to four (4) year terms.

Commissioner Cox

made a motion to approve. January 16, 2018 26. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to re-designate terms for four (4) members on the Peace Officer Advisory Review Board from two (2) year terms to four (4) year terms.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

noted the item was to re-designate terms and wondered if

Commissioner Cox

had to name the four or if it could be approved per the back-up. As far as Commissioner Koenig was concerned it was in the back-up.

Commissioner Schinhofen

seconded the motion to approve: 5 yeas. 27. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) appoint four (4) members to the Peace Officer Advisory Review Board due to two (2) unexpired terms and two (2) expired terms; and 2) appoint two (2) alternate members to the Peace Officer Advisory Review Board due to two (2) vacant terms.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve as per the back-up with the names listed to those dates; seconded by Commissioner Cox; 5 yeas. 28. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to consider 1) extending the application deadline for the Veteran’s Banner Program for ninety (90) days past the original deadline date; and 2) direct staff to continue advertisement of the program.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to extend the deadline 90 days and direct staff to continue advertisement of the program: seconded by Commissioner Wichman: 5 yeas. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 30. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with the US Department of the Interior (USD1), National Park Service (NPS), Death Valley National Park (DVNP) for all hazards incident response.

Commissioner Schinhofen

explained the purpose of this was to provide all hazards incidents response to Death Valley National Park, and for mutual aid in the areas of the County that were proximate to park lands. The agreement would remain in effect for five years

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion based on staff recommendation to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. John Bosta said the County refused to form a fire district as a tax was required, so it sought a solution by requesting legislation, Bill 128, which was denied by the State Legislature. He stated if the County adopted this agreement the County and the Death January 16, 2018 30. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with the US Department of the Interior (USD1), National Park Service (NPS), Death Valley National Park (DVNP) for all hazards incident response. Cont’d. Valley National Park would continue to operate underneath the color of the law as there was no lire district in Nye County.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion based on staff recommendation to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. 29. Presentation regarding the Tonopah Ambulance Service status. Vance Payne, Director of Emergency Services, said things were as they were before with no major changes. He thanked the Board for convening a Board of Health. He advised he was starting to see the numbers from the coverage using his people that started on December 26, 2017. Generally speaking it was running him around $2,800.00 per week to keep the ambulance in Tonopah covered with one full-time person. Meantime other things in the County were being neglected like training and fleet management.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if he thought changing the stipend for a volunteer EMT would make a difference.

Mr. Payne

thought that would have an impact, but he wondered what would be enough and what would start the County down a slippery slope. Currently they paid $50.00 for somebody to respond on an ambulance call, but by anybody’s standards that was a poor return for losing four or six hours of time away from a job, family and personal stuff.

Commissioner Wichman

said she recently talked to some brand new EMTs out of lnyo County. If they were on call for a 24 hour period they received $100.00 and patient contact got them $300.00 in addition to the $100.00. She asked staff for help on the financial portion to figure out if there was somewhere to draw enough money into supporting the EMT situation.

Mr. Payne

stated that more and more nationwide it was becoming a money issue, but he would not feel comfortable doing what lnyo County was doing. He thought great progress was being made with the REMSNRen0wn contract and said they had a wonderful reaction to their request for applications for the job in Tonopah. Mr. Payne also thought things may be moving forward because he received notice this morning January 16, 2018 29. Presentation regarding the Tonopah Ambulance Service status.-Cont’d. that REMSNRen0wn was going to host a breakfast for community leaders on January 19, 2018, at 8:30 a.m. at the Mizpah, which one of his staff would attend.

Commissioner Wichman

asked when Mr. Payne said he was not comfortable doing what lnyo County was doing if he was referring to the stipend.

Mr. Payne

said yes because if he understood Commissioner Wichman they were getting paid to just be on the schedule. He explained Nye County EMTs were paid $50.00 if they went on a call, not for standby. He said if that was kicked up to a couple hundred bucks that would put a sparkle in a couple of people’s eye, and for those who were not in it for the money a little extra coming in to allow extra in the household would go a long ways. FINANCE

Commissioner Schinhofen

read a letter into the minutes from the Department of Taxation dated December 21, 2017, stating their approval.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve the loan agreement with Republic First National to purchase the ambutances from Braun Northwest for the Nye County Department of Emergency Management and execute the loan agreement; seconded by

Commissioner Koenig

commented the effective interest rate was 3.179%.

Commissioner Wichman

noted the Board recently gave authority to the County Manager to fill budgeted positions and this was an unfilled budgeted position. January 16, 2018 34. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) approve a new part time, no benefited Judicial Legal Secretary position in the District Court; and 2) authorize the advertising and filling of said position.-Cont’d. Judge Kim Wanker said that unfilled position was in Tonopah and it had been vacant since Maggie Carver retired. Currently there was one judicial department employee in Tonopah. Due to budget cuts, when Harvey Gonzalez passed away his position as the juvenile probation officer in Tonopah was not filled. She explained the Board had given permission to reclassify that position as a full-time juvenile probation officer who would also assist with drug court. Currently she had no help with drug court and if it was not for adult parole and probation there would be no Tonopah drug court. Judge Wanker also explained in 2017 there was a push by Clark County to restructure the method by which juries were selected. She was assured rurals would be exempt, but when it came down rurals were not. Now they had a ton of work which they could not do with the current support staff.

Commissioner Koenig

asked what part-time meant. Judge Wanker explained it was 19 hours a week.

Commissioner Wichman

asked why she did not fill the budgeted full-time position, to which Judge Wanker responded because it was in Tonopah.

Commissioner Wichman

pointed out they could help countywide because they were a County employee. Judge Wanker explained it was a judicial position, not a County position. There was a big misunderstanding about the judicial department as a separate branch of government. The County was forced to fund those positions, but they did not answer to the County over those positions.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if this would require an augmentation to the budget. Savannah Rucker said it would in the amount of $1 9,000.00.

Commissioner Wichman

did not know why the augment was needed when she had the funds for the positions. As to why this work could not be done in Tonopah, Louise Mulvey, a district court secretary, said she sends out jury questionnaires to 500 or 1,000 Tonopah people and to 8,000 in Pahrump.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said this was the commercial subdivision on Kellogg outside of the Artesia subdivision and asked if this had been considered before. Tim Hafen advised the map was approved at the same time the rest of Artesia was. He described the two lots and the services available. Even though they did not have an immediate plan for use, Mr. Hafen said they were asking now because they had to do it before they could use it anyway. With the economy picking up and things coming along a little better they anticipated in the next few years to have something going there. Mr. Hafen added there were extensive conditions which they agreed with.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve with all the conditions in the staff report; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Borasky

asked if the property could potentially be used as a grocery store or shopping center.
