26. Karl Mitchell/Kayla Mitchell/Big Cat Encounters Appellants. Arlette

Commissioner Koenig

reviewed the procedures for this appeal. He then asked for a motion to accept the back-up documents.

Commissioner Cox

made a motion to accept back-up documents into the record; seconded by Commissioner Blundo; 4 yeas. February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursuant to Nye County Code Title 6, Animals, Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d. Arlette Newvine, attorney for appellant, and Karl Mitchell, appellant, identified themselves. Addressing appellants counsel, Commissioner Koenig stated this appeal involved Nye County Animal Control’s special conditions animal permit amended denial dated July 27, 2018, and asked her to present her appeal to the Board. As a procedural issue, Ms. Newvine first asked the District Attorney there if was information known by the County as to Lieutenant Harry Williams’ previous actions deeming him a Brady Cop. Maria Zlotek said that witness was offered as a rebuttal witness for the dates in question. The credibiHty would be judged in a semi non-judicial administrativ e hearing.

Ms. Newvine

felt Mr. Williams’ credibility was absolutely relevant as everyth ing brought against her client had to do with statements made by Mr. Williams. She had submitted a potential public records request to Human Resources, but was not sure if that was a public record. She asked Human Resources Manager Danelle Shamrell if she had time to look into it.

Mrs. Shamrell

said she did not and she would consult with the District Attorn ey and County Manager also.

Ms. Zlotek

said they had five days to respond to public records requests and they would take those five days to respond. She had no determination on whether it was a public record.

Ms. Newvine

knew Mr. Williams was fired in 2014 by Sheriff DeMeo and that had to do with his credibility as a witness and she wanted to preserve that. Ms. Newvi ne explained that during the renewal process for Kayla Mitchell’s permit the Sheriff’s Office absorbed Animal Control and took over the issuing of permits. During that transition

Mrs. Mitchell

was not getting the typical responses so Mr. Mitchell applied for a brand new permit. He got the Title 17 permit, passed inspection for the Title 6 permit, and then waited for the bill to pay his fee and get his permit. That bill never came, which was when he consulted Ms. Newvine. She learned Mr. Williams was the permit person and he directed her to Janice Maurizio because she would be taking over the new applications. Ms. Newvine was working with Ms. Maurizio on the applica tion when she received an e-mail from Mr. Williams stating Mr. Mitchell had been denied . Ms. Newvine then had meetings with the Sheriff, District Attorney Angela Bello, and

Commissioner Cox

, and each time she met with them either new reasons were added for a denial or reasons were omitted for the denial. Now this was a second amended February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursuant to Nye County Code Title 6, Animals, Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d. denial with 100 pages, but there was nothing in the back-up that showed her client was violating his conditional use permit issued in 2018.

Ms. Newvine

advised the USDA defined exhibiting and there was case law behind it. There were tour &ements of exhibiting and every single one of those elements had to be met. In order to properly defend her client against the allegations in the report they would have to turn every single page and check off all four of those elements, Her client had never purchased a tiger so that one would never be met. Another one was the fact that her client was a private person who had extensive history in dealing with exotic animals. Her client was more than qualified to handle them, yet the focus was on Facebook posts of his wife in 2010 when the issue involved today was a CUP issued to him last year, which was land specific, and now a Title 6 permit being dealt with today which was directly relevant to his Title 17 CUP.

Ms. Zlotek

said it appeared that Ms. Newvine had made an opening statement. This was her appeal so if she would like to present her issues on appeal that was her prerogative,

Ms. Newvine

said part of the reason she thought they were here today on appeal was that no charges had been brought against her client even though a violation of the Code was a misdemeanor. She had e-mails from Mr. Williams that they were investigating her client for the Goldrake interview. She received the incident report, but her client had yet to be charged with any criminal complaint. Mr. Mitchell did take his tiger off his land into Clark County and the Sheriff’s Office should have contacted Clark County to coordinate. Mr. Mitchell had not been charged or served with any complaint from Clark County. Mr. Williams did put the USDA on notice of the Goldrake incident and everything else in the back-up. Her client had not been charged or served with any kind of complaint under the Animal Welfare Act, which Ms. Newvine thought was unfortunate because if he had been charged he would have had due process in a court of law. Ms. Newvine noted various discrepancies in Mr. Williams’ reports and figured the opinion of the District Attorney upon reading those reports was he did nothing wrong. Mr. Mitchell did not exhibit because the State had failed to present evidence of all four elements of exhibiting and instead just supplied 100 pages and hoped the Commissioners did not read through all of it.

Sheriff Wehrly

and Lieutenant Harry Williams identified themselves. Sheriff Wehrly first stated Mr. Williams was not a Brady Cop. She explained when this case went to then

County Manager Pam

Webster for appeal she was given a short period of time to give her opinion on the case. Sheriff Wehrly did not see where he had lied in the document, so she went back to Mrs. Webster and said she did not believe he lied and wondered February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursuant — — to Nye County Code Title 6, Animals, Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d. what Mrs. Webster intended to do. Mrs. Webster agreed with the Sheriff and did not think Mr. Williams lied either.

Mr. Williams

stated this investigation started in June, 2018, due to receipt of several photographs depicting exhibition of tigers during the application process. One of the people contacted was David Goidrake at the Tropicana, who stated on September 22, 2017, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell brought their tiger cub Abraham to the Tropicana and exhibited or showed people present at the time and he paid Mr. Mitchell $750.00 in cash. Mr. Mitchell had been exhibiting for several years and there were multiple photographs which went back ten years to show he had continued to exhibit his Ugers.

Mr. Williams

said he contacted Las Vegas and the USDA to let them know what was going on, The USDA had refused to give Mr. Mitchell a license for years. Also, a judgment by district court Judge Wanker about his CUP in 2014 stated if the CUP ever ceased for special condition animals on the property known as 6061 N. Woodchips then effective immediately the defendant and each of them shall immediately remove all animals designated as special conditions animals located there. Mr. Williams said if the Sheriff’s Office had known about that order sooner they would not be talking about exhibiting now.

Commissioner Strickland

noted the attorney for the appellant said the best way to resolve this was to get it heard by a court and suggested going back to the contempt of court case dated November 10, 2015, where the appellant was found to not be in compliance by court order and remand this back to the court to be heard.

Commissioner Blundo

asked if the Title 6 permit had ever been issued since Mr. Mitchell received the CUP, to which Mr. Williams replied no.

Commissioner Blundo

asked what the timeline was between the CUP being issued and this denial.

Mr. Williams

advised the CUP was with Kayla Mitchell and that was about a year and a half or two years ago.

Commissioner Blundo

asked when the initial denial was sent and what the reasons for denial were.

Mr. Williams

said the denial letter went out on July 3, 2018, for exhibiting his tigers along with a few other things Mr. Williams could not recall as he did not have the denial letter in front of him.

Ms. Newvine

asked Mr. Williams what his definition of exhibiting was. February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursuant — — to Nye County Code Title 6, Animals, Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d.

Mr. Williams

stated it was showing tigers to people for a price based on the USDA.

Ms. Newvine

argued USDA case law stated it must be exhibiting one animal to the public for a fee and the animal must be purchased and intended for the distribution of commerce. While Mr Williams was saying Mr. Mitchell exhibited for a fee, he was not saying Mr. Mitchell was in the public, that he purchased an animal, or that it actually was exhibiting. If the USDA had filed a complaint then yes, he would be exhibiting, but that complaint had not been filed.

Ms. Zlotek

said the definition was on page 27 of the back-up and contained in the affidavit of Bernadette Juarez. The Animal Welfare Act defines exhibitor as any person (public or private) exhibiting any animals, which were purchased in commerce or the intended distribution of which affects commerce, or will affect commerce, to the public for compensation as determined by the Secretary.

Ms. Newvine

and Mr. Williams debated whether a dressing room was considered a public or private setting.

Sheriff Wehrly

said she would concede it was a private setting. but she wondered how the tiger got there. Obviously it went through the corridors and open areas for the public as it was being transported from one place to another so there were probably multiple people in a public setting that could have been affected.

Commissioner Blundo

asked Ms Zlotek if Mr Mitchell had been charged with anything by the District Attorney’s Office regarding this issue.

Ms. Zlotek

did not know if the USDA! Clark County or Nye County had charged him.

Commissioner Strickland

asked if there was a permitting process for transporting these types of animals across County lines.

Mr. Williams

advised a USDA license was required and they could bring another witness forward who could explain that.

Ms. Newvine

pointed out the USDA license did not qualify someone to tell the Board the procedures for transporting an animal. She said the cusp of this should be land use on the parcel her client had a license for, She did not feel the Board had the grounds to make a decision on something that happened off his land.

Commissioner Strickland

reminded Ms. Newvine that her client was in contempt of court on the district court case mentioned earlier as the CUP expired. February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursu — — ant to Nye County Code Title 6, Animals, Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d.

Ms. Newvine

explained the Code stated when someone was in the process of renewing the status quo remained.

Commissioner Cox

stated Mr. Mitchell could not exhibit in Nye County and the Commissioners did not have the right to tell him he could not exhibit anywhere else in the country. As far as she knew he had not been charged with or told he could not exhibit in Clark County. She felt there was a bunch of hearsay here and a bunch of personal vendettas.

Sheriff Wehrly

advised her office got involved in outside incidents because Title 6 said that if he broke a law anywhere else other than Nye County that had to be taken into consideration. Title 6 required him to be in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws.

Ms. Newvine

disagreed with the Sheriff’s statement that her client had broken the law as that statement was based on an investigation that had not been pursued by the District Attorney. Ms. Newvine then asked Mr. Williams when the Sheriff’s Office took over Animal Control and if notice of the changes in the process was given to the curren t permit holders.

Sheriff Wehrly

thought the change occurred late 2016/early 2017, and Mr. Williams advised he sent some e-mails if the applicants had e-mails on file that the Sheriff’s Office was in charge of Animal Control.

Ms. Newvine

stated her client did not know about the change until November, 2017, and her client should not be the person who suffered because there might have been some cracks in the transition.

Mr. Williams

said her client did not suffer. He was told an inspection would be done. The Board took a brief recess.

Mr. Williams

introduced Scott Shoemaker, a current USDA license holder.

Mr. Shoemaker

said tie and his wife had a USDA license, a Nevada Department of Wildlife license and a Nye County permit. He explained the rule for exhibiting had always been on the property. He did not know where the fourth eiement that the animal had to be bought came from as exhibiting was the activity of showing or displaying animals to the public with or without payment. USDA regulations also stipulated if a person was transporting an animal for exhibition they must be USDA licensed. February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursuant to Nye County Code Title 6, Animals. Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d.

Ms. Newvine

did not feel that Mr. Shoemaker or his wife was qualified to make a determination just because they held a USDA license. There needed to be solid evidence that he was exhibiting to take away his privilege to a permit and his right to due process in the permit process. The District Attorney made the decision to not prosecute within the statute of limitations as they did not think Mr. Mitchell was dangerous to the pubUc. She asked the Board to also see there was not enough evidence to pursue the investigations. She thought all the evidence today strongly pointed at overturning the denial by the Sheriff’s Office and allowing Mr. Mitchell to operate with a Title 6 permit. John Bosta said the last time Mr. Mitchell had a hearing Mr. Bosta commented about a conversation he had with Mr. Mitchell who told him he was a veteran who had a federal permit to have the animals for his emotional well being. Mr. Bosta asked the Board to respect the reasons Mr. Mitchell had the animals. Samuel Jones said he lived two or three miles from Mr. Mitchell and had never heard or saw a problem. He asked the Board to issue a permit to Mr. Mitchell and not deny him his constitutional rights to life: liberty and happiness. James Petell felt Mr. Mitchell was being harassed. Diane Holguin-Brooks said she had been going through this with the Mitchells and their tigers for the last five years. Mr. Mitchell was not taking these animals into stores with him even though by federal law he would be allowed to. She mentioned the permit the Shoemakers had and how their information went to a P.O. Box in Henderson, not to the property itself, and as of right now they did not have a CUP either. Dwight Lilly pointed out that Mr. Mitchell was a veteran who was obviously qualified to maintain the tigers. there had been no law enforcement reports of a tiger getting loose and endangering the public and no evidence presented here that something happened in Las Vegas. Mr. Lilly hoped the Commissioners would come to the conclusion that the system Mr. Mitchell was working within was broken, that the Commissioners were not really sure what was going on, and that this needed to go back through the permitting process to come up with a simpler process law enforcement and the public could handle and the Board could adjudicate. Dean Brooks saw the freedom to do things in this country being thwarted here. He told the Commissioners to think about the phrase, “The law killeth, the spirit of the law giveth life.” February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursuant — — to Nyc County Code Title 6. Animals, Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d. Scott Shoemaker asked if the Mitchells were not exhibiting then why were there pages and Web sites stating they were a Nevada private humane society. They did not have a 501(c)3 or a Nevada corporation. As to whether they needed a CUP, Mr. Shoemaker explained they were a legal conforming use, not grandfathered, and it was clearly stated in Title 17 that those who had animals when the ordinance was passed shall not be required to get a CUP as long as they followed state, federal and local laws regarding the animals. Mr. Shoemaker asked if the Commission decided not to enforce certain laws how would those who were trying to follow them know which ones were being enforced. Further, Mr. Shoemaker stated the back-up reflected Mr. Mitchell got the animals from Oklahoma and no one knew where the animals were, including tigers and lemurs. Additionally, there was a health certificate in the back-up which had the purpose of the movement marked for exhibition.

Mr. Shoemaker’s

wife Zuzana Kukol said in order to follow USDA laws she needed to know them, so while she was not an expert she thought she knew more than Mr. Mitchell. She noted County Code 6.30.050.E. and 6.30.050.F. clearly stated people needed to have an emergency procedure for moving animals. Ms. Kukol wondered if they could not move the animals how they could fill out an application requinng an emergency plan. She wanted to know what kind of emergency procedures the Mitchells had as part of the existing application requirement in Title 6 and asked the Board to enforce the laws.

Commissioner Cox

made a motion to overturn the amended denial of the Sheriff’s Department; seconded by Commissioner Blundo.

Commissioner Blundo

asked if Mr. Mitchell would be issued a license based on that motion.

Ms. Zlotek

advised the Code did not address what would happen, but if it was denied and the Board overturned the denial then there would not be a denial. She did not know if there would be an automatic approval or if t would have to be reconsidered.

Commissioner Blundo

said the back-up reflected that on or about June 17, 2018, a citizen brought this issue forward to the Sheriff’s Office. He asked if Mr. Mitchell and his attorney had a right to face their accuser.

Ms. Newvine

advised she asked Mr. Williams who that was and had not gotten a response. February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursuant — — to Nye County Code Title 6, Animals, Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to uphold the denial of the special condition animal permit application for 6061 N. Woodchips Road; seconded by Commissioner Koenig.

Commissioner Strickland

was not satisfied about the transport problem. She understood the Commissioners were not the governing body for the USDA, but the Board did protect the public and could not have animals transported anywhere in the County without proper permitting. It was very evident the animal was taken to Las Vegas. Commissioner Strickland asked the Board to consider that this particular permit holder had gone outside the law and it was the Commissioners’ job to keep that from happening.

Commissioner Koenig

said he had a discussion a long time ago after one of these hearings and told Mr. Mitchell he had no problem with him sitting on his property and enjoying his animals, but Commissioner Koenig was tired of seeing pictures of his animals in p!aces other than the property and hearing about them being transported.

Commissioner Blundo

did not believe the Sheriffs Office went through a proper investigation in this matter or that Mr. Mitchell had a fair chance to get his license through the Sheriff’s Office. He told Mr. Mitchell if he was to get a license to not come before this Board again.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to overturn the denial and issue the license including language that the animals were not to be explicitly exhibited, they were for his emotional support, and most importantly that any transportation would be for the veterinarian or health related issues; seconded by Commissioner Cox.

Commissioner Koenig

asked for a friendly amendment that any transport be approved in advance by Animal Control.

Ms. Ziotek

noted the motion was to overturn and issue the license and that the animals not be exhibited. The emotional support statement was a legal conclusion and she recommended not putting that in the motion. February 19, 2019 8. 10:00 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on appeal (pursuant — — to Nye County Code Title 6, Animals, Section 6.40.010) of the Nye County Sheriffs Office’s amended denial of a Special Conditions Animal Permit application Cont’d.

Commissioner Blundo

amended his motion to overturn the denial and issue the license including language that the animals were not to be explicitly exhibited, any transportation would be for the veterinailan or health-related issues, and Animal Control was to be notified 24 hours prior to the transfer unless an emergency occurred;

Commissioner Cox

amended her second; 3 yeas. Commissioner Koenig voted nay. H/R AND RISK MANAGEMENT

33. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to authorize the filling of

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to authorize the filling of the vacant Deputy Justice Court Administrator position; seconded by Commissioner Strickland. James Petell stated his support of this item.

Commissioner Strickland

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. 16. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding approval of placing a memorial rock at Simkins Park to honor the life of Cassandra Selbach.

Commissioner Koenig

made a motion to approve placing a memorial rock at Simkins Park in honor of Cassandra Selbach; seconded by Commissioner Blundo. James Petell felt Mrs. Selbach deserved this. Deanna O’Donnell said they wanted to make sure Mrs. Selbach was honored for all the things she did. A rock was donated by Ron Murphy and prices were obtained from Awards Plus. Ms. O’Donnell said they were going to get donations from the public, but

Commissioner Koenig

said possibly the County would put some funds in. They were still waiting for a price and hoped to make the dedication on Easter morning when they had the Easter egg hunt.

Commissioner Koenig

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. The Board was in recess until 2:15 p.m. TIMED ITEMS 9. 10:45 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to revoke, pursuant — — to Nye County Code Chapter 5.32, Marijuana and Medical Marijuana Licensing: 1) Medical Marijuana License MM-2018-000060; and 2) Recreational Marijuana License RM-2018-000022 located at 5101 S. Oakridqe Ave. Pahrump, NV, Assessor Parcel Number 044-521-41, pursuant to Nye County Code 5.32.100(B) for failure to comply with Nye County Code 5.32.110, Transferability. Oakridqe Enterprises, LLC Property Owner. Peter Gnecco, Green Cross of America, Inc. Licensee.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to accept additional back-up; seconded by

Commissioner Strickland

; 4 yeas. The Board took a brief recess to review the back-up. Peter Gnecco explained he did not intend to transfer the license or go through the sale until he came to the Board, but the State took seven months to do the approval and he did not anticipate it taking that long. He said the State admitted it was done in error and

Mr. Gnecco

was supposed to get the license back before the end of the month.

Commissioner Blundo

asked Mr. Gnecco if he was selling the company.

Mr. Gnecco

said yes, but the sale would not be done until the escrow was completed. Although the State gave them the license, no money had been exchanged at this time.

Commissioner Blundo

asked Mr. Onecco to address the issue of being late on the 2% to the County.

Mr. Gnecco

admitted he was late, but he paid it this morning and had proof if needed.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to accept additional back-up; seconded by

Commissioner Strickland

. Code Compliance Officer Amanda Van Houten confirmed the payment was submitted, however, the State forms were not included with the County paperwork.

Commissioner Blundo

withdrew his motion; Commissioner Strickland withdrew her second. Rick Cronkhite said he was the project manager for Exhale Brands Nevada and handled their regulatory compliance and business licensing. He confirmed that what Mr. Gnecco February 19, 2019 9. 10:45 For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to revoke, pursuant to Nye County Code Chapter 5.32, Marijuana and Medical Marijuana Licensing: 1) Medical Mariluana License MM-2016-000060; and 2) Recreational Marijuana License RM-2018-000022-Cont’d. said was mostly correct. The instructions on the State’s transfer of ownership form clearly stated approval from the State was required prior to executing any type of contract. The State transferred ownership of the name prior to completion of the sale so that was an error on the States part. Mr. Cronkhite said meanwhile they were continuing their conversations with the landiord as well as Green Cross of America, Inc., to conclude both sales to perfect the license transfer. They had also been preparing all documents for local permitting. When Commissioner Blundo said the license was going back into Mr. Gnecco’s name,

Mr. Cronkhite

said that was the first he had heard of that. He had been in contact with the State Department of Taxation Marijuana Division who knew they had jumped the gun and there was no issue on their side with the corrections being made as long as Mr. Cronkhite’s company moved forward with getting the Nye County permits in order, which would be upon the closing of the sale.

Mr. Gnecco

added the problem was that the marijuana plants technically belonged to Exhale Brands Nevada, but they did not renew the license for recreational so now Mr. Gnecco was in violation while he had those plants. He also had no access to the State reporting system for that because the license had run out. He explained the reason for transfer back to him was so that he could legally hold the plants until the sale was over with.

Ms. Van

Houten stated this was the first she had heard of them attempting an SUP, but with the County licensing being revoked the SUP went with it.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to extend this item to the March 19, 2019, meeting and to have it come back to the Board then for review seconded by

Commissioner Cox

. John Bosta asked that his written document be included in the minutes (see Attachment 1). He said he supported the Board fining, imprisoning and revoking pursuant to Nye County Code 532.100 and 532,110 and not putting this off 30 days. Mr. Bosta said this gentleman’s permit expired because he was not in cultivation and the Board had continued to give him a license on an expired permit. He wondered f the Board would uphold the Code and protect the residents of the County.

Commissioner Koenig

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to reject; seconded by Commissione r Blundo; 4 yeas. SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY BOARD OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Blundo

assumed the Chair of the Board of Highway Commissioners. 11. General road report by Public Works Director. Public Works Director Tim DahI said nothing flooded and created any damage the in last weather event. They did identify several areas in town due to the last rain that needed to be taken care of, like Highway 372 and Blagg. Other areas they had managed in the past performed very well, such as the pie-shaped piece of land betwee n the church and another establishment on the north side of the roundabout on Pahrum p Valley Boulevard. Regarding the durapatcher, Mr. DahI said there were still winter weather conditions up north so instead of bringing that 10-wheeler down he would send a 10-wheeler up to get modified so the durapatcher could be brought down without jeopardizing a plow truck up north. As to activities taking place at Petrack Park this weekend, Mr. DahI advised the public of some closures on Basin Road on Friday and Saturday.

Commissioner Cox

commented all potholes got washed out on several streets.

Mr. Dahi

said hopefully the durapatcher would put an end to that.

Commissioner Strickland

said the curve on Leslie had gotten bad.

Mr. DahI

explained it had narrowed over the years and they had tried to put some cold mix out there as welL It was on the list of future roads to prioritize.

Commissioner Koenig

said he sent an e-mail about the flooding problem on Warren. A lady lived close to the end of the river so she got more water than the rest of the people . She called him and complained the property was flooded again. She said Public Works used to pump it and he wondered if a culvert could be done. February 19, 2019 11. General road report by Public Works Director-Cont’d.

Mr. Dahi

said he would look into it and get back to Commissioner Koenig. SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY LICENSING AND LIQUOR BOARD

Commissioner Strickland

assumed the Chair of the Licensing and Liquor Board. BROTHEL 12. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding adding Harry V. Mahoney and Kimberly A. Penny to the Western Best Inc., dba Chicken Ranch Brothel license as key personnel. Brothel License number BR1O-000129 located at 10511 Homestead Road, Pahrump, NV. Kenneth Green Applicant. Samantha Tackett explained the goal of this item was to add two key personnel to the license. She believed Mr. Green had formally requested them to be on the license as owners of the business in the event he was no longer able to perform as the main licensee, however, the way the business was set up did not allow that. The alternative was to put them on as key personnel who could work with the County on all of the license needs, but Mr. Green would be the primary licensee as the sole business owner.

Sheriff Wehrly

said the way Mr. Green wanted to set this up was perfectly legal. She was fine with it as long as Mr. Green understood if something were to happen to him it would go into his trust and they would have to apply and get their backgrounds done so there may be a break in service for a little bit.

Commissioner Koenig

made a motion to add Harry \I, Mahoney and Kimberly A. Penny to the Western Best, Inc. dba Chicken Ranch brothel license as key personnel; seconded by Commissioner Cox.

Commissioner Blundo

asked if Mr. Green had any intentions of selling his brothel as he thought he had seen advertising in the past. Trudy Kevoran, General Manager, advised if someone came to Mr. Green with an offer he would consider it, but he was not in the process of selling it at this time.

Commissioner Koenig

made a motion to approve two 90-day temporary retail and package liquor licenses for Nevada Desert Lounge located at 1481 E. Nevada Highway 372, Units B and C; seconded by Commissioner Cox. Samantha Tackett confirmed all fingerprints were in and the cursory investigation was completed and cleared. The next step was to send it off to State which was why they were asking for a temporary.

Commissioner Koenig

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF PAHRUMP 14. Committee Reports There were none. 15. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a request to waive the Pahrump arena use fees for the events to be held on March 30, 2019, April 27, 2019, September 7, 2019, and October 5, 2019 for the non-profit community club Pahrump Open Schooling Show.

Commissioner Cox

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Blundo. Bob Young explained they requested the fees be waived for events held by the Pahrump Open Schooling Show. As a former member and officer of community clubs of this nature he knew the expense and hard work each member put in to produce events of this kind. It helped the young people develop a good work ethic while serving the community. The community also benefited by participants in the events spending money.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve the settlement agreement; seconded by Commissioner Blundo.

Commissioner Blundo

This item was removed from the agenda. 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt or reject Nye County Resolution No. 2019-08: A Resolution Supporting Senate Bill 48 Authorizing Certain Local Governments to Increase Diesel Taxes Under Certain Circumstances.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2019-08, a resolution supporting Senate Bill 48 authorizing certain local governments to increase diesel taxes under certain circumstances; seconded by Commissioner Strickland.

Commissioner Cox

stated SB48 and SB61 increased the taxes on diesel fuel in all counties except Clark and Washoe. In 2016 all voters voted overwhelmingly in opposition to raising the diesel taxes. Commissioner Cox said in light of the fact the public had already spoken on this she would be voting against it.

Commissioner Blundo

felt there had been a lot of irresponsibility in past County Commissions. It would be cheaper to maintain the roads rather than re-build them. Furthermore, the County had nothing that taxed diesel and he would like to know how the community felt paying a tax that the County got nothing out of. Dwight Lilly said he was generally not in favor of any type of taxation, but in a limited government there were certain items that were agreed upon, one being the roads because they were part of the commerce system. He approved of this. Sam Jones objected to more taxes. Tim Dahi stated his understanding that this was not an additional tax. It was just a way to recover some of the tax already paid to the State and federal government. February 19, 2019 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt or relect Nye County Resolution No. 2019-08: A Resolution Supporting Senate Bill 48 Authorizing Certain Local Governments to Increase Diesel Taxes Under Certain Circumstances-Cont’d.

Commissioner Koenig

understood this was an additional tax and that this bill would allow the County to vote to add the five cent tax or put it back on the ballot. If it was approved by the Legislature than he would put it back on the ballot. He was not voting for a tax, but he was willing to vote to bring it back to let the citizens decide if they want to be taxed.

Commissioner Blundo

pointed out it was not just the additional tax component. People who drove diesel vehicles paid taxes and the County did not get that money. It went to the State and this resolution not only allowed the County to capture the money being paid in taxes but also allowed the County to spend it on its roads.

Commissioner Cox

made a motion to approve Harley Kulkin.

Commissioner Cox

explained she approved Mr. Kulkin because he had put in for it many times and it was probably his turn. He also had qualifications.

Commissioner Strickland

Chris Arabia advised that despite the fact the new firm coming in was one of the top firms in the State he and Bradley Richardson were able to negotiate a rate 40% less than previous counsel and he thought the Board should know that.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to 1) approve retaining counsel to be selected by the District Attorney as counsel for handling the civil litigation in the case of Nye County Management Employees Association vs. Nye County, Case 2018-012, State of Nevada, Local Government Employee-Management Relations Board, 2) to authorize the District Attorney to execute that contract for counsel legal services, and 3) to fund from Contingency; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 4 yeas.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to reject the bid received; seconded by

Commissioner Blundo

advised Harold” passed away and he was hard pressed to put this cost burden on the backs of the taxpayers when Harold” was not the technical owner of the home. It would be foreclosed on and it was the lender’s responsibility to remedy and abate. That was how Commissioner Blundo would direct staff seal it. board it up, and let the lender handle it. Planning Director Brett Waggoner reminded the Board that the nuisance the neighbors brought forward still existed. He was in agreement with Commissioner Blundo as far as anything inside of the home, but he felt there was still an obligation on the Board, specifically regarding the garbage in the yard, pool and patios.

Commissioner Koenig

suggested a stipulation could be to clean the outside of the property where it was accessible to the public and leave the inside up to the bank.

Commissioner Cox

said everything outside belonged to the estate now. There was also a van, a trailer and jet skis. She asked if the County would take those away or if the daughter wouid have the opportunity to pick them up.

Mr. Waggoner

said he was only referring to the garbage, not the personal belongings. The property also needed to be secured by boarding the windows to keep people out of it. Bradley Richardson recommended bringing a modified resolution back to declare the nuisance and reduce the scope of the remediation.

Commissioner Koenig

suggested that direction to staff should he to contact the lender to see what they were willing to do to help. board the windows and doors up, and have the District Attorney bring back another agenda item to further define the scope of what remained.

Mr. Waggoner

said he had already tried to make contact and was unsuccessful. The only other point he wanted to make was that this matter had been discussed since October and there was nothing different today except it was worse. February 19, 2019 30. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding RFP #2018-13 Property Abatement 2650 S. River Plate Dr.-Cont’d

Commissioner Blundo

amended his motion to reject the bid received; direct staff to contact the lender, board the windows and doors up, and clean up the garbage accessible to the public on the outside including the pool; and have the District Attorney bring back another agenda item to further define the scope of what remained;

Commissioner Strickland

amended her second. Bob Young was concerned with what environmental impact the abatement process would have on the health and welfare of the surrounding property owners. Dwight Lilly said it Mr. Waggoner and the County determined this property was a danger to the community then there was potential liability for the County and time was of the essence.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to award Bid 2018-15 to U.S. Imaging, Inc., in the amount of $228,705.40, 2) execute the contract and 3) fund from 10320, Recorder Tech Fund; seconded by Commissioner Strickland.

Commissioner Koenig

asked who would do the scanning. Danielle Mckee, Purchasing and Contracts Administrator, said U.S. Imaging would go to the facility in Tonopah and do the scanning.

Commissioner Koenig

questioned why the County would not use its own employees as there was a lot of scanning that needed to be done in the County. He wondered if while U.S. Imaging was here if employees could be trained to do the scanning. Recorder Deborah Beatty advised U.S. Imaging did all of their imaging in the past. She also pointed out this was not just digitizing. It was also microfilm as required by law and would be a full-time job for an employee.

Commissioner Koenig

asked if there was any urgency to this.

Ms. Beatty

said no, but the books were falling apart so it was necessary. February 19, 2019 31. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Award Bid #2018-15 Bound and Mechanical Book and Newspaper Scanning to US Imaging, Inc in the amount of $228,705.40; 2) Execute the contract; and 3) Fund from 10320 Recorder Tech Con t’ d.

Commissioner Koenig

said he would like to see what it would cost to buy the equipment to do this and maybe scale it back to so they would come up and do half while a County employee was with them learning how to do it and then have that employee do the rest of it. If that number was less than $22800000 he would be happy because everyone else’s could be done instead of just the Recorder’s. Chief Deputy Recorder Dawn Gudmunson emphasized these were historical records and in some cases the only copy. Due to that historical value they were asking for this to move forward as quickly as possible because if something happened to them the records would be lost. She said she had been with the County 15 years and believed staff would never get the quality of image that this company could get. Savannah Rucker confirmed the money was in the Recorder’s Tech Fund.

Mrs. Mckee

suggested tabling this item until the first meeting in March to allow research on the numbers.

Commissioner Blundo

withdrew his motion; Commissioner Strickland withdrew her second.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to continue this item to the March 11, 2019, meeting and directed staff to bring back alternatives based on comments made by the Commissioners; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 4 yeas.

Lorina Dellinger advised the County’s monthly payment was reduced to $274.45.

34. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to authorize the advertising

Commissioner Blundo

asked if the position was only to work on registrations or if it would be a general position working on a multitude of items. Rachel Aldana said her understanding was that the main part was for the voter registrations because current staff could not keep up with it, but they would probably do other stuff. Human Resources Manager Danelle Shamrell understood from Sam Merlino that mandates would go into effect July 1, 2019, that would cause an undue hardship. She said Mrs. Merlino provided significant back-up, and research with other counties was done to see what they were doing as well. Savannah Rucker advised she would bring back an item to augment if approved based on the filled date.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to authorize the advertising and filling of the position of Deputy Clerk I in the Tonopah Clerk’s Office; seconded by Commissioner Blundo with the addition of sending a letter to the State to let them know how the County felt about unfunded mandates; 4 yeas.

RECOMMENDATION Recommended 80CC Motion: “I move accept the Business Impact Statement; and make a finding that the proposed rule is not likely to (a) impose a direct and significant economic burden upon a business or (b) directly restrict the formation, operation or expansion of a business.” County of Nyc BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT The following business impact statement was prepared pursuant to MRS 237.08 0 to address the impact of Nyc County Bill No. 2017-12, pertaining to Licensing of Mariju ana and Medical Marijuana Establishments in Nyc County. 1.

Ms. Tiffany stated that the proposed rule will directly restrict the formation, operation or expans ion of business, and was concerned that the Department of Taxation has not yet fmaliz ed theft regulations regarding marijuana establishments; and that several issues remain unreso lved at this time; and in particular is concerned with Chapter 5.32 where it states “any who submits an application and applicable fees to the Nyc County applica nt Planning Department for an initial Nye County marijuana (recreation) license between May 25. 2017 and May 31, 2017...” Ms. Tiffany suggested the county may want to amend the language to say “within 5 days of the Department of Taxation’s application date.” C.

The estimated economic effect of the proposed rule on the businesses, including, without limitation, both adverse and beneficial effects, and both direct and indirect effects: Adverse effects; The adverse effect of the proposed rules would be additional fees and taxes on marijuana businesses. Beneficial effects: The proposed licensing regulations will provide a framework for the operation of marijuana establishment in Nye County. as authorized under NRS 453D.

The governing body estimates the annual cost to the local government for enforcement of the proposed rule is: The proposed changes would increase the cost to the local government, but it is difficult to predict the cost; however, the intent is that the additional proposed fees would cover the increased local government costs of inspections and compliance enforcement. 5. (If applicable, provide the following:) The proposed rule provides for a new fee or increase in an existing fee and the total amount the local government expects to collect is: It is not possible at this time to provide an accurate estimate of the total amount of revenue expected to be generated by the increased fees. The legal marijuana industry is in its infancy in Nevada and it is not clearly understood what the econom ic impact will be. The amount of revenue generated will depend on the number and type of marijuana licenses requested and the volume of sales generated by each establishmen t. 6. The money generated by the new fee or increase in existing fee will he used by the local government for: The fees and taxes collected would be used for processing license applications, preparing reports, conducting reviews and inspec tions of facilities to determine compliance with County codes and regulations applica ble to each facility, and related matters. 7. (If applicable, provide the following:) The proposed rule includes provis ions, which duplicate or are more stringent than federal, state or local standa rds regulating the same activity.

Commissioner Wichman

asked if everything was in order. Brett Waggoner said they had been doing quarterly inspections and there were some issues mainly with the security system which they indicated they were in the process of rectifying. If the Board were to approve this Mr Waggoner said he would like it to be a conditional approval that they go back out and re-inspect in 30 days or so and make sure the security system was back up and running.

. John Bosta reviewed the history of this permit. The back-up indicated there were no violations, but Mr. Bosta advised that three or four months ago people were complaining about the smell at the post office and the RV park because the filters were not operating properly. He said the Board was re-issuing a license which it did not have the authority to do as it was inside the town, a direct violation of Assembly Bill 487. He said the Board continued to act underneath the color of the law. Brett Waggoner confirmed everything was in order.

Commissioner Wichrnan

said her motion stood. Mike Floyd from Greenway Productions said they were the second medical marijuana business in Nevada to be approved by the State. They received their SUP in July, 2014, and their first County license in December, 2014.

He felt if the Commissioners were going to make decision on a business they should go check it out. Dave Stevens spoke about Tina Trenner coming to his house. Dwight Lilly talked about the commerce tax and how there had been no improvements seen in K-12 education even though the amount of money spent on it had tripled since 1960.
