Commissioner Schinhofen

left the Board. He hoped that plans were put in motion to retain Commissioner Schinhofen in a consultant capacity. Mr. Stremmel explain ed he was on the advisory board to the Nuclear Area Foundation and they would like to enlist the support of Commissioner Schinhofen in a role that would be complimenta ry to the one created by Nye County going forward. Diane Southworth said as a staunch Democrat she was a firm believer in the Constitution as it was written today. She wanted to remind people it was not only a constitutional republic, but a democratic republic also. Charles Needle said he noticed the landfill was filling up pretty quick and sugges ted a recycle center. Joe Markley proposed to either have him do it or get other people together to fix the fountain. He asked for permission to look at it so he could see what it needed .

Commissioner Koenig

told Mr. Markley to speak with the Town Manager. June 19, 2018

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissione r Borasky. Deputy District Attorney Ronni Boskovich said on page 4 in paragraph 2 the date should be May 26, 2018, not 2016. Also, on page 10 the second to last paragraph should read 604 rather than 406 acres.

Commissioner Wichman

amended her motion to approve with those correct ions;

Commissioner Borasky

amended his second; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Wichman

advised she would miss the next meeting.

Commissioner Borasky

thought men should address prostate cancer when they were in their 20s and a simple PSA test on a blood test was all that was needed. As far as the fountain, he had received information from a lady about an electronic founta in. He would put some effort into coming up with a proposal for the Board to look at.

Commissioner Borasky

then said he would like to see a ballot question for the voters to decide whether brothels were needed in Pahrump/Nye County.

Commissioner Koenig

said he had no problem with a ballot question, but he did not want an advisory question as that left it up to the Board to decide. June 19, 2018 6. Commissioners’IManager’s Comments (This item limited to announcements or topicslissues proposed for future workshopslagendas)-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox

said the fountain had been an issue for her for a long time also, but she did have a problem with no water and the landscaping dying. She felt something needed to done about that immediately and asked that it be addressed with the Buildings and Grounds crew.

Commissioner Schinhofen

polled the audience as to how many of them thought he sold out 8,500 well owners to big developers and a number of people raised their hands. He stated Dennis Hof continued to be in violation of Nye County Codes and while other brothels in violation complied Mr. Hof had not. Commissioner Schinhofen said going forward there were still some months to do things, but he was more than relieved the voters had decided he did not represent them and would finish his six months happily. TIMED ITEMS SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF PAHRUMP

Commissioner Koenig

said he understood today was to possibly decide on the $10,000.00 deductible recommended by the County Manager versus the $50,000.00 deductible. Tim Sutton clarified the $10,000.00 deductible would be for the County policy and the town would remain at the $2,000.00 deductible.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to keep the town deductible the same and change the County deductible to $10,000.00; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen.

Commissioner Cox

asked how much the policy premium would increase with that deductible change.

Mr. Rossi

said the current premium was $624,514.00 with a $50,000.00 deductible. The move to a $10,000.00 deductible would be $786,328.00.

Commissioner Cox

thought that was a pretty big difference and asked if there was a happy medium like $25,000.00.

Mr. Rossi

said there was and the total premium on that would be $699,181.00.

Commissioner Cox

said the arena board approved this.

Commissioner Schinhofen

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

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to renew the contract with Nathan Gent for the southern public defender services; approve renewing a contract with Jason Earnest for the northern public defender services with direction for all case files of Jonathan Nelson to be transferred to Mr. Earnest; approve a new contract with Brent Percival for southern public defender services with direction for all case files of Harry Gensler to be transferred to Mr. Percival; approve a new contract with Daniel Martinez for southern public defender services with direction for all case files of David Rickert to be transferred to Mr. Martinez; approve a new contract with Carl Joerger for southern public defender services with direction for all southern case files of Jason Earnest to be transferred to Mr. Joerger; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen.

Commissioner Cox

thought there might be a problem with nepotism here as Nathan Gent was related to the County Manager.

Commissioner Wichman

said that was why the Board was making the choice.

Commissioner Cox

said people were saying they were not getting what they thought was fair representation from some of these attorneys because they were not meeting with them ahead of time on time. She said that needed to change and the attorneys needed to take it to heart. The ACLU has a lawsuit because of people not getting proper representation. Commissioner Cox stated she would not support the motion because there were too many issues.

Commissioner Wichman

said her motion stood. Tim Sutton explained Nathan Gent was his brother-in-law and as soon as he was appointed County Manager he realized that could be an issue. This Board author ized the prior County Manager to oversee the indigent defendant program and since day one June 19, 2018 29. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding approval of five (5) contracts for Public Defender Services-Cont’d.

Mr. Sutton

Commissioner Schinhofen

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

Commissioner Cox

asked Public Works Director Tim Dahl if he received her e-mail about the issue on Irene.

Mr. DahI

said yes along with her voicemail. He had yet to finish compiling an estimate of those road costs, but they were in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. He pointed out the gentleman had many different access options to his lot as it was not landlocked.

Commissioner Cox

said the intersection of Dandelion and Mount Charleston were getting worse by the day as was Dandelion and Unicorn.

Mr. Dahi

said they had various activities currently taking place. They were compiling lists for future overlay projects, chip seal overlay projects, for slurry seal, and on those that were damaged so bad the $1 million per mile could not be spent they would do some cold mix overlay. He said her concerns were duly noted and they were trying to work on getting those things addressed.

Commissioner Wichman

thanked Mr. Dahi for the sign that differentiated between the town and the mine.

Commissioner Borasky

talked about the complaints he received about how everyone gave up 30 feet of their property line and the ditches in town were full of trees, grass and overgrowth. He asked if there would ever be a resolution for that in the future. June 19, 2018 10. General road report by Public Works Director-Cont’d.

Mr. Dahi

said they were trying to come up with a different way to deal with vegetation in the County right-of-ways and he was open to ideas.

Commissioner Borasky

suggested getting a spray and Commissioner Wichman suggested contacting the Tn-County Weed Control that Nye County was a part of.

Commissioner Koenig

mentioned the washboard roads and said the really bad intersections needed to be looked at.

Mr. DahI

advised they did get an opportunity to put up some warning signs for the roundabouts and changed the speed on all intersecting right-of-ways coming into the roundabouts.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said it had been discussed many times at the RTC and by this Board how there needed to be a base for the roads and so many of them did not have that base. He felt the roads which could be overlayed and the roads that had to be re-built needed to be identified going forward.

Commissioner Koenig

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF PAHRUMP 11. Committee Reports There were none. 15. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to surplus excess Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue and Town of Pahrump vehicles and equipment that are no longer in use through a public auction.

Commissioner Wichman

said a lot of time was spent with staff going through the public auctions and handling the details. She suggested donating this to KNPR as that was how they raised money to keep the public broadcast going since they were a non-profit. Tim Sutton asked if that was for these or future ones.

Commissioner Wichman

said this item since it was what was before the Board.

Mr. Sutton

said he would pull the item and bring it back then. Matt Luis from Pahrump Buildings & Grounds advised there was a lot of value in some of the equipment, but he wished Fire Chief Scott Lewis was here as he had input on the ambulances. June 19, 2018 15. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to surplus excess Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue and Town of Pahrump vehicles and equipment that are no longer in use through a public auction-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Cox

thought this should come back every year for approval.

Commissioner Koenig

agreed and suggested they come back on the first day of the new fiscal year.

Commissioner Schinhofen

amended his motion to approve this for the upcoming budget and have them come back the following years; Commissioner Wichman amended her second.

Commissioner Cox

asked if this was a private organization. Sally Kerr stated Nevada Outreach was a public 501(c)(3), so it was a non-profit.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNINCORPORATED TOWNS OF BEATTY, BELMONT, GABBS, MANHATTAN, AND RAILROAD VALLEY BEATTY 18.

Commissioner Koenig

explained these were part of the overall budget requirements approved by the Town of Beatty, not specific to the Beatty jail.

Sheriff Wehrly

said that was correct. They kept the jail in Beatty ready to go so it could be used at any time, but it was not staffed at this point, and that number was their portion for the detention center in Pahrump.

Sheriff Wehrly

confirmed for Commissioner Wichman this had been before the Gabbs Town Board and was approved.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Cox

asked what the drone with a payload dropping system was.

said this was going to end up being a requirement simply because those people needed to have this route sustained in order to make their trip to Fallon.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to adopt; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen.

Commissioner Koenig

asked who was paying for the re-routing.

Commissioner Wichman

advised the Naval Air Station out of Fallon was.

Commissioner Schinhofen

Commissioner Cox

asked what under-votes were.

Mrs. Merlino

For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to allow Justice of the Peace Judge Jasperson, as he deems necessary, to invite any available Justice of the Peace, within the confines of NRS 4.340(2), to provide him temporary assistance, until a new Justice of the Peace for the Pahrump Township is elected.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. Louis DeCanio said Ron Kent resigned his position as Department A Justice of the Peace in Pahrump two and a half years ago. The law clearly stated a Pahrump resident was to be appointed or a special election was to be held, not that the Pahrump boundaries would be moved. Mr. DeCanio was surprised more defendants were not suing the County because Gus Sullivan was only there on Tuesday a full day, a half day June 19, 2018 38. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to allow Justice of the Peace Judge Jasperson, as he deems necessary, to invite any available Justice of the Peace, within the confines of NRS 4.340(2), to provide him temporary assistance, until a new Justice of the Peace for the Pahrump Township is elected Cont’d. on Wednesday, and half a day on Thursday. Defendants were sitting in jail in violation of their rights because they were not able to see a judge in the proper time. 39. Update on potential Shooting Ranges located in Pahrump. Lorina Dellinger stated Darrell Lacy and Tim DahT looked at the County owned property. There was no road to that property so four miles of new road would need to be built and

Mr. DahI

was working on that cost estimate. They were also hopeful the BLM would list the Bell Vista property for disposal and make available either cleaned up or at a discounted price to reflect the condition. It would take some time to come back with an update so Mrs. Dellinger would probably bring this back next quarter rather than monthly.

Commissioner Wichman

asked Mrs. Dellinger to also bring an update back on the shooter’s site in Beatty. 40.

For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a lease agreement with Mercy Air Services, Inc. for heliport and personnel facilities located at 1541 E. Calvada Blvd., Pahrump, NV.

Commissioner Schinhofen

made a motion to approve based on staff recommendation; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.

Commissioner Cox

was concerned with a 1 5 year lease and wondered if it could be amended to five years since things could change drastically in even five years.

Commissioner Wichman

explained that in order for them to make the investments they did they had to have financial backing and they could not get that with a five year contract. Tim Sutton added the previous lease was also for 1 5 years.

Commissioner Cox

asked if things could be changed along the way if needed because the $300.00 per month may have to be adjusted at some point.

Commissioner Wichman

pointed out there were provisions to revisit the lease if there was a problem.

Commissioner Koenig

agreed that 1 5 years was a long time, but he also understood the financing side of it. Don Cox disagreed with their need for backing when they charged thousands of dollars to fly over the mountain.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to accept additional documentation; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen; 5 yeas. Lorina Dellinger advised that NDEP had A Guidance for Prescription Drug Disposal by Incineration document published. If this was approved the County needed to ensure the incineration of prescription drugs was subject to NAC 445B, Air Controls.

Sheriff Wehrly

said she was aware of that. June 19, 2018 43. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) accept, by donation, an incinerator on loan from the Attorney General’s Office for use by the Nye County Sheriff’s office to dispose of drugs; 2) modify county property to install incinerator; and 3) identify a funding source for installation costs in the amount of $16,460.OO-Cont’d.

Commissioner Schinhofen

was concerned with the cost to continue operating it and wondered who would operate it.

Sheriff Wehrly

explained this was part of the Attorney General’s war on opioids. The Attorney General offered to select counties a loan of the burn chamber for the destruction of illegal and unwanted prescription drugs that fit into the take back program. The Sheriff’s Office and the County Manager accepted the tentative loan in September, 2017. The Attorney General provided an installation budget of $30,000.00 so there was absolutely no cost to the County whatsoever. Frank Chekowski, a retired bomb technician, said he operated contained burn chambers throughout the world, most recently 17 million pounds of explosives at the Louisiana National Guard Camp. He discussed the technical aspects of this particular chamber, how to operate it, and the training requirements to do so.

Commissioner Koenig

asked if this was going to be used only for opioids.

Sheriff Wehrly

said it would also be used for the take back drugs. She stated they had several thousand pounds of those in evidence lock up. There was plan to use Metro to move them, but that would have cost about $1 0,000.00 each move. She then confirmed for Commissioner Koenig that it would not be used for animal cremation or any of the other stuff and that it conformed to the NAC according to the Attorney General.

Commissioner Koenig

said the Board was basically approving something that was already done, to which Sheriff Wehrly responded yes.

Commissioner Schinhofen

said there were two different figures. In the back-up was $16,460.00 and this one was $21,137.33 and he wondered which one was correct.

Sheriff Wehrly

said neither one. The Attorney General paid $21 000.00, but somehow that was misconstrued when it was written up that the County was going to pay something for it. The County did not pay for anything except the fuel used.

Commissioner Schinhofen

reiterated his concern with the cost of maintenance, repair, and time for people running it.

Commissioner Cox

thought if Metro would charge the County for moving the drugs then this would pay for itself in the long run. June 19, 2018 43. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) accept, by donation, an incinerator on loan from the Attorney General’s Office for use by the Nyc County Sheriff’s office to dispose of drugs; 2) modify county property to install incinerator; and 3) identify a funding source for installation costs in the amount of $16,460.O0-Cont’d.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to approve without a funding source for installation costs; seconded by Commissioner Cox.

Commissioner Schinhofen

pointed out that before the incinerator the Sheriff’s Office buried them.

Sheriff Wehrly

believed that changed because they were not allowed to do that now.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to adopt; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen; 5 yeas. FINANCE 45. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the budget status through May 2018 for the Nye County General Fund Fiscal Year 2018 budget projections. Savannah Rucker stated the report was as of May 31, 2018, which was 90% of the year completed for payroll and services/supplies. Included in the back-up was a summary of each department and the explanations for the overages. She would bring augments back on June 27, 2018.

Mrs. Rucker

then reviewed the separate set of back-up for the Sheriff’s Office. There were a few items that affected the salaries projection that were not anything the Sheriff’s Office could control, one of which was the NCLEA COLA increase which increased the projection by $98,000.00 through May 31, 2018, so an augment for that would be requested. Another item outside the control of the Sheriff’s Office was the CBA for the Nye County Sheriff’s Office Supervisors’ Association that resulted in a comp time pay out as those employees had moved from hourly to salary individuals and generated a $50,000.00 increase. A third item that Mrs. Rucker felt some sort of funding solution was needed for was the district court had a vacant bailiff position since August, 201 7, June 19, 2018 45. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the budget status through May 2018 for the Nye County General Fund Fiscal Year 2018 budget projections-Cont’d. and they request coverage from the Sheriff’s Office. The anticipated fiscal year to date cost of that was about $50,000.00 and the services provided could be better discussed by the Sheriff’s Office.

Commissioner Koenig

commented how it was strange that when they came to the Board for the positions they were always needed in such a hurry, but they were never filled and ended up being paid for out of someone else’s budget.

Commissioner Wichman

asked why that did not come out of the district court budget .

Mrs. Rucker

explained the coverage was provided by the Sheriff’s Office so that was where the expense lived. At this point she was not sure how to correct the issue.

Commissioner Koenig

suggested transferring that cost to the district court budget from the Sheriff’s budget. He said they could either hire someone and it came out of their budget or the Sheriff could help them out and it still came out of their budget. He asked

Mrs. Rucker

to include that transfer on the augment she would bring forward next week.

Mrs. Rucker

then explained the Sheriff’s Office overtime was budgeted at $50,00 0.00, but was expected to come in over budget at $800,000.00 because of the vacancies in the office. Lieutenant David Burochowitz said they had been before the Board several times with the vacancies. He said they now had staffing coming through as well as one more class, but some of the overtime was for the bailiff for district court.

Sheriff Wehrly

pointed out the difference in the amount of money paid by the district court for the deputies versus what they were paid through the Sheriff’s Office.

Commissioner Koenig

said that was not the County’s problem as far as he was concerned. The people the Board approved needed to be hired. Lieutenant Burochowitz explained the NRS required the Sheriff’s Office to fill in if there was no bailiff whether she had that position or not so there would be overtime at the Sheriff’s Office rate.

Mrs. Rucker

said one thing not listed in the back-up was an overtime payment correction handled in June which would also be included in the augments totaling about $120,000.00. Moving on to the Sheriff’s Office services/supplies, Mrs. Rucker said the bottom of the spreadsheet showed identified items which resulted in a budget increas e for FY19 like inmate food costs, fuel costs, inmate medical costs, utilities, maintenance June 19, 2018 45. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the budget status through May 2018 for the Nye County General Fund Fiscal Year 2018 budget projections-Cont’d. agreements, office supplies, and various other items presented at the April 30, 2018, budget workshop and granted an increase in FY19.

Commissioner Koenig

understood most of that, but he questioned the PC purchases outside of IT, an unbudgeted expense of $6,000.00, and why it was not budgeted along with the unbudgeted contractual expense of the shelter of $46,000.00.

Sheriff Wehrly

stated that was never included in their budget.

Commissioner Koenig

asked why Sheriff’s Office had costs for a shelter that did not belong to Nye County.

Sheriff Wehrly

explained they were paying for the strays, the abandonments, and custody dogs. They had a bill for another $2,200.00.

Mrs. Rucker

added the MOU was entered into with the shelter at the end of FY17 so she had no idea of the anticipated costs for FY18.

Commissioner Wichman

wondered if that should be a cost of the court rather than the Sheriff’s Office.

Mrs. Rucker

said she would look into that

Commissioner Cox

thought that was supposed to be back-charged to the owners of the animals.

Commissioner Koenig

noted the last Legislature passed that.

Sheriff Wehrly

said they had also been asking for restitution on a lot of this stuff, including the sexual assault kits, but if it was not brought in front of the court at the time of sentencing then they did not get the money back.

Commissioner Wichman

had also noticed there was no cost recovery when a case was won. Regarding the bullet proof vests and uniform item expense in excess of budget, which was projected to be over $27,000.00, Mrs. Rucker advised that was not discussed in the budget meeting with the Sheriff’s Office and she asked the Sheriff to address that.

Sheriff Wehrly

explained the expense was that a grant paid half and her office paid the other half. The vests were fitted to a particular person so they were not interchangeable. She said there had been quite a few people who did not make it June 19, 2018 45. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the budget status through May 2018 for the Nye County General Fund Fiscal Year 2018 budget projections-Cont’d. through FTO or the academy after they have been fitted for and received the vest and additional vests had to be bought for the people who came in afterward. She said the overall replacement was every five years and one size did not fit all.

Commissioner Koenig

then questioned the recruitment expenditures like fidget spinners and car chargers.

Sheriff Wehrly

explained that started out as a budgeted cost. They went to the County Manager and asked what she thought the Sheriff’s Office could do to help find recruits. The County Manager told them if they could do it within their budget that was fine and to do it. They thought it was within the budget, but then found out a whole bunch more was being paid in fuel costs and autopsy costs so it became outside of budget. Sheriff Wehrly thought they had now figured out a way to put it back in.

Mrs. Rucker

said this line item within the financial system had zero budget associated with it. What the Sheriff was talking about was CCA provided a donation to the County of $25,000.00 every year which may be a suitable place to locate that expense, but Administration and Finance needed to look at that to make sure it did not violate any grant or MOU with CCA. Mrs. Rucker was also not sure if that donation had come before the Board for acceptance so that would need to be remedied as well.

Commissioner Wichman

asked who determined when an autopsy was performed.

Sheriff Wehrly

advised NRS said if a death was unattended there must be an autopsy.

Commissioner Wichman

suggested adding to the BDR list allowing the county coroner to determine if an autopsy was needed instead of the medical examiner. As far as FY19 and suggestions to assist the Sheriff’s Office, Mrs. Rucker said Finance would enter the budget line by line to ensure the budget granted by the Board was put into the correct places. Also, Eden was not very easy to navigate so Administration and Finance were working together to try to partner with a company called OpenGov to provide a dashboard for the Sheriff’s Office to get better information in a timely manner. Additionally, in discussing the budget with the Sheriff’s Office Mrs. Rucker would train the upper management staff on the various policies to help mitigate some of these issues in FY19. June 19, 2018 DISTRICT COURT 37. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding funding and entering into a contract with Pioneer Technology Group for the purchase and implementation of the Benchmark Case Management System for the District Court. Judge Kimberly Wanker said the courts had been operating with a very antiquated system that was going away as of December31, 2019. When she became judge they had previewed the JustWare system to cover the district. The court contributed $100,000.00 for that system, but never got a prototype and the company went bankrupt. Currently Nye County operated on paper files, so anytime someone filed something in Tonopah if the file was in Pahrump the paperwork was shipped by carrier or vice versa. One of the features of the case management system was all current files would be scanned and indexed into the new system. Judge Wanker realized it was a big expense, but three courtrooms all operated on a different system and it never worked wherever she was at. She noted one thing this contract required was hiring someone on a temporary basis to scan and index the documents.

Commissioner Koenig

asked for the total cost, which Judge Wanker said was shown on Exhibit 1.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if any of this was built into her budget. Judge Wanker said they did not have the money because of the remodel, the drug court, JAVS system, jury management system, and all of the computers. She thought the court improvements fund was over-estimated this year.

Commissioner Wichman

had a problem with having all taxpayers pony up money for people who needed the court’s service when those people using the service should be paying. Judge Wanker advised there were assessments made by law. She emphasized that as of December31, 2019, there would be no case management system and the district court did not have the $40,000.00 they were being asked to contribute.

Commissioner Schinhofen

wondered if this could wait one more week so he could get some clearer answers from the Comptroller. Judge Wanker asked Sam Merlino if another week would hurt.

Mrs. Merlino

thought it could wait, but she pointed out that most counties had started with this program and it took a long time to implement so anything over a week would not work. As far as the imaging costs, Mrs. Merlino explained once the current files were imaged her staff would image every file that came in. There would also be e-filing, which would save her office much work by not having to pull the files, take them to the June 19, 2018 37. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding funding and entering into a contract with Pioneer Technology Group for the purchase and implementation of the Benchmark Case Management System for the District Court-Cont’d. judges and get them back.
