Mrs. Tackett

said if the caller was unable to alert her that they wanted to speak it could have been a system or user error and the exact reason had not been identified.

Commissioner Strickland

disclosed she was a general contractor as were several applicants for this bid.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to rescind the motion made at the May 19, 2020, meeting pertaining to the bid protest; seconded by Commissioner Cox. Janice Berard said she tried to get in on the public comment item but she was unable to. She gave kudos to Commissioner Blundo for bringing up some issues and to

Commissioner Koenig

8. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation

Commissioner Strickland

disclosed she was a general contractor licensed through the State of Nevada .

Commissioner Koenig

outlined the procedures for a bid protest. He said the back-up contained a letter of protest dated May 6, 2020 , and other documents consisting of a May 29 , 2020 8. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to: 1) Hear Bid Protest submitted by NDL Group regarding request for Bid 2020-07 for replacing a beacon and tower at the Tonopah Airport; 2) Uphold or Reject the bid protest; and 3) If rejected, direct the DA office to pursue a claim against the bond in the amount equal to the expenses incurred due to the bid protest-Cont'd. total of 45 pages and asked for a motion to accept the back-up of 45 pages into the record as evidence.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to accept the back-up of 45 pages into the record as evidence ; seconded by Commissioner Strickland ; 5 yeas . David Perez, Senior Project Manager with NDL Group , said he was not sure why this was back on the agenda as the lady who just spoke, who was not allowed to speak last time , had nothing to do with this bid protest. Danielle McKee, Purchasing and Contracts Administrator, advised the Board of the relevant dates of bid solicitation , opening , review , selection, bid protest and back-up items .

Commissioner Koenig

asked Mr. Perez to present to the Board the provisions of the law he believed were violated as the basis of the bid protest.

Mr. Perez

stated under NAC 624 .150 , Classification A , the first sentence said airports. The construction, alteration and repair of airports, including navigational equipment, lights, beacons, markers, taxiways , runways , hangars and terminals. Furthermore, an A-13 license was needed as a specialty license for wrecking and an A-14 license was needed for steel erection and industrial machinery. Silver Sabre did not hold any of those licenses.

Mrs. McKee

pointed out that NAC 624.200 stated the board would grant to qualified applicants a license in the specialty of electrical contracting noting that the classification of a C-2 license was a specialty electrical contracting license . For more specifics she deferred to Brian Fitzgerald, the County's airport engineer. Brian Fitzgerald, project manager from Atkins North America as well as the airport engineer/consultant for Nye County, added NRS 624.215.4 stated a specialty contractor was a contractor whose operations as such are the performance of construction work requiring special skill and whose principal contracting business involved the use of specialized building or trade could do work with other trades as any other work that was incidental and supplemental to that trade. Additionally, NRS 624.220 stated a specialty contractor was not prohibited from taking and executing a contract involving two or more crafts or trades if the performance of the work in the crafts or trades, other than in which the specialty contractor was licensed , was incidental and supplemental to the performance of work in the craft for which the specialty contractor was licensed. Mr. Fitzgerald explained that meant the work associated with the removal and installation of May 29 ,2020 8. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to: 1) Hear Bid Protest submitted by NDL Group regarding request for Bid 2020-07 for replacing a beacon and tower at the Tonopah Airport; 2) Uphold or Reject the bid protest; and 3) If rejected, direct the DA office to pursue a claim against the bond in the amount equal to the expenses incurred due to the bid protest-Cont'd. a new tip down pole and light which he believed was incidental and supplemental to the electrical contractor's licensure and work for the project.

Commissioner Blundo

asked why there was such a disparity in the prices.

Mr. Fitzgerald

believed the two low bids were representative of the work at hand for this particular project. The two higher bids may be indicative of a larger scope than the intent of the project.

Commissioner Blundo

asked if erection or removal of a tower would be outs ide the electrical scope of work .

Mr. Fitzgerald

said yes , it could be, but the tower was referred to as a four-legged beacon tower, not a communications tower that was several hundred feet tall . A newly installed beacon tip down pole was essentially a pole like a traffic light pole or a streetlight pole.

Commissioner Strickland

asked if Mr. Fitzgerald believed looking at the scope of work on this that the electrical contractor would not have to do demolition and did not need an additional concrete license, to which Mr. Fitzgerald responded that was correct. When she asked jf an A-1 license was necessary to perform work on the airport, Mr. Fitzgerald said in his opinion and from what he had received from the State Contractor's Board verbally only spec ialty work could be performed on an airport without an A-1 license .

Mr. Perez

said the NRS was very clear and Mr. Fitzgerald was not in a position to make opinions or statements that were unqualified for someone's licensing and working on an airport. He said they were just following the law as they knew it.

Commissioner Cox

hoped the bids for $60,000.00 could actually do the job as she was worried about change orders. She felt the whole thing should be done over again or if the proper license and permits were not required it could be done in-house.

Commissioner Blundo

asked Mr. Perez to state why he believed the A-1 license was required versus being able to contract directly with a special C license.

Mr. Perez

said NRS clearly stated an A license was required to work on airport . A C-2 license was not a special license. It was just a standard electrical license. Additionally, whether it was a pole or tower an existing tower was being demolished and structural concrete was being poured which required a concrete sub . May 29,2020 8.10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to: 1) Hear Bid Protest submitted by NDL Group regarding request for Bid 2020-07 for replacing a beacon and tower at the Tonopah Airport; 2) Uphold or Reject the bid protest; and 3) If rejected, direct the DA office to pursue a claim against the bond in the amount equal to the expenses incurred due to the bid protest-Cont'd.

Commissioner Wichman

pointed out everything heard from Mr. Perez was quoting NRS, but everything that the County's contractor talked about was the NAC and those were the instructions on how to do things and interpret the NRS. She asked for how long Atkins had been the County's airport contractor.

Mr. Fitzgerald

said he had been doing work for Nye County for approx imately 13 years .

Commissioner Wichman

said Mr. Fitzgerald and his company had become intimately familiar with what was needed and necessary at the Tonopah Airport. While Mr. Fitzgerald was basing his opinions on the experience, Mr. Perez was also interpreting the NRS and giving the Board his opinion. Commissioner Wichman said she trusted

Mr. Fitzgerald

and Atkins on this. Margaret Yanez from Silver Sabre Electric said they had it from the contractors' board that the demolition of the tower was a supplemental area of their scope and she had submitted that. Silver Sabre Electric also stood light poles allover Nevada and concrete was included in their supplemental work . Their bids all stated excavation and compaction , concrete and demolition, and that was something they were allowed to do under their C-2 license. Ammie Nelson thought the Board should either revisit the bid and make it more definable or go with the lower bid because of the experience . Public Works Director Tim Dahl advised he had relied on Atkins North America and Mr. Fitzgerald for their expertise and help to obtain FAA grants for many years . Mr. Dahl said he trusted Mr. Fitzgerald 's exper ience and ability . Having considered all of the evidence and arguments submitted into the record

Commissioner Koenig

asked if there was a motion.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to uphold the protest filed by NDL Group on May 6, 2020, based on the following findings and conclusions which should be entered into the minutes of the Board. The Board finds as follows: On April 20, 2020, the bid period closed and four bids were received. On April 29 , 2020 , Nye County sent out a notice of intent to award the bid . On May 6, 2020 , NDL Group subm itted a bid protest. On May 8, 2020, notice of a public hearing on bid protest was sent to the NDL Group. The scope of the work to be accomplished required the contractor to hold an A license . Silver Sabre Electric, LLC , held a C-2 electrical license, which did not allow for the performance of the scope of work as detailed in the bid. Mesquite Electric, LLC, held a B-2 and a C-2 electrical license which did not allow for the performance of the scope of May 29,2020 8.10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to: 1) Hear Bid Protest submitted by NDL Group regarding request for Bid 2020-07 for replacing a beacon and tower at the Tonopah Airport; 2) Uphold or Reject the bid protest; and 3) If rejected, direct the DA office to pursue a claim against the bond in the amount equal to the expenses incurred due to the bid protest-Cont'd. work as detailed in the bid. NDL Group held an A license. Based on this Board's findings the Board concluded that an A license was required to perform the scope of work as set forth in the bid documents and no bidder who submitted a bid response held an A license except NDL Group; seconded by Commissioner Cox .

Commissioner Strickland

asked Ms. Yanez if she could provide the document from the contractor's board stating that Silver Sabre Electric was able to perform the work .

Ms. Yanez

said she had sent that to Mrs. McKee.

Mrs. McKee

advised the e-mail stated demolition was determined to be incidental or supplemental to the work being performed under the C-2 license and could be performed under that license. It did not address the concrete. IVIs. Yanez said the concrete was clearly incidental. They were not laying a concrete pad which would require the license.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to reject the protest filed by NDL Group on May 6, 2020, based on the following findings and conclusions which should be entered into the minutes of the Board . The Board finds that on April 20, 2020 , the bid period closed and four bids were received . On April 29 , 2020, Nye County sent out a notice of intent to award bid . On May 6, 2020 , the NDL Group submitted a bid protest. On May 8, 2020, notice of a public hearing on the bid protest was sent to NDL Group. The scope of work to be accomplished did not require the contractor to hold an A license . Silver Sabre Electric, LLC, held a C-2 electrical license, which did allow for the May 29, 2020 8. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to: 1) Hear Bid Protest submitted by NDL Group regarding request for Bid 2020-07 for replacing a beacon and tower at the Tonopah Airport; 2) Uphold or Reject the bid protest; and 3) If rejected, direct the DA office to pursue a claim against the bond in the amount equal to the expenses incurred due to the bid protest-Cont'd. performance of the scope of work as detailed in the bid. Mesquite Electric, LLC, held a B-2 and a C-2 electrical license which allowed for the scope of work as detailed in the bid. NDL Group held an A license. Based on the Board 's findings the Board concluded that a C-2 license allowed for the scope of work set forth in the bid documents; . seconded by Commissioner Wichman ; 3 yeas . Commissioners Cox and Blundo voted nay.

Commissioner Wichman

made a mot ion to direct the District Attorney's Office to pursue a claim against the bond in the amount equal to the expenses incurred due to the bid protest; seconded by Commissioner Strickland.

Commissioner Cox

did not think people should be penalized when they felt they had a legitimate protest.

Commissioner Blundo

also had no interest in pursuing a claim against the company because of the circumstances .

Commissioner Wichman

felt it was the cost of doing business and was there to protect the public's money.

Commissioner Strickland

asked how much it cost.

Mrs. McKee

said a total of $360.00 was applied to this project from the last payroll cycle not including any time incurred since then.

Commissioner Wichman

made a motion to award Bid 2020-07 for the Tonopah beacon tower replacement to Silver Sabre Electric in the amount of $61,236 .00, execute the contract and fund from 10340 , Grants ; seconded by Commissioner Strickland . May 29,2020

9. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Award Bid

Commissioner Cox

stated she would vote nay on this as she felt all bids needed to be rejected and the process started over.

Commissioner Blundo

said he disagreed with the whole process and stated his understand ing that it would be started over and things cleaned up.

Commissioner Blundo

asked Mrs. Rucker to share with the Board the totality of the cuts they discussed yesterday.

Mrs. Rucker

said total department expenditures before cuts were $40,556,462.00 . The cuts for departments totaled $2.662 million , which was 6.56% . She then reviewed the final FY21 budget summary in deta il.

Commissioner Blundo

wondered how many open positions could be removed from the books and said he would like to see any positions come to the Board.

Mrs. Rucker

said all departments had the ability to reorganize their internal structure. She asked Commissioner Blundo if he was looking for all requests to fill vacant positions to come to the Board for the Board to make the determination if the position was necessary.

Commissioner Strickland

disagreed and said she did not want to look at departments and their hiring procedures . May 29,2020 10.10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2020­ 2021 Final Budget for Nye County; and discussion and deliberation to adopt, or amend and adopt the Final Budget for Nye County for Fiscal Year 2020-2021­ Cont'd.

Commissioner Blundo

said he had a list of the positions the Board approved last year.

Commissioner Strickland

explained that was when departments wanted new positions as part of the budget. She said she did not want to be involved in how a department managed their personnel.

Commissioner Blundo

said moving forward he would like positions to come to the Board.

Mrs. Rucker

said she would have an item on June 16, 2020 , for the Board to discuss and deliberate on that. Continuing her review , she discussed the FY21 general fund ending fund balance summary and general fund summary.

Commissioner Koenig

pointed out on page 17 that services/supplies in general government was $43,000.00 the prior year , estimated this year at $44 ,000 .00, and then went up to $65,000.00 and asked why.

Mrs. Rucker

explained columns one and two were actual prior year ending and estimated year ending . She said the Board had a larger budget than they had spent historically . She and her staff would work on identifying departments that potentially had too much budget as well as departments that needed a bigger budget and then bring that to the Board .

Commissioner Koenig

opened the public hearing . Treasurer John Prudhont said he appreciated the Comptroller trying to be as conservative as possible, but his concern was there were decisions being presented to the Board like cutting salaries for employees who were currently doing an excellent job. He would like to see decisions made by the Board regarding cutting wages and salaries and replacing positions that were needed . Regarding net proceeds from the State, the Comptroller for this current budget estimated $2,683,439 .00 and so far $5,461,629.41 had been received, resulting in a surplus for this fiscal year of $2,778,190.00 . With that surplus the deficit was reduced to $439,000 .00 and it would continue to reduce as more money came in.

Commissioner Koenig

said he agreed with Mr. Prudhont yesterday but with further investigation he asked Mrs. Rucker to comment on it.

Mrs. Rucker

said as far as reduction in salaries and wages, negotiations with the collective bargaining units were underway and the decision was up to them . The Board was not saying reduce salaries and benefits . It was asking the collective barga ining May 29,2020 10.10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2020­ 2021 Final Budget for Nye County; and discussion and deliberation to adopt, or amend and adopt the Final Budget for Nye County for Fiscal Year 2020-2021­ Cont'd. units to work with them on the deficit. Once the decision was made a memorandum of understanding would be presented to the Board from each collective bargaining unit. Additionally, Mrs. Rucker called her contact yesterday about net proceeds and was told the total payment to Nye was $5.7 million before it was allocated out to all entities that shared in that revenue. The County general fund will only see $1.654 million. She suggested approving this budget and if that surplus came in it could be an augment. Ammie Nelson said the Treasurer's Office had four positions budgeted and only three were filled. She asked if the freeze include the fourth position already budgeted.

Mrs. Rucker

said at this point a 4.6% vacancy rate was built into all departments. Once the department had realized that they could fill the vacant positions. John Bosta said he had submitted an e-mail this morning and asked to have it read during this item and included in the minutes. On November 20, 2018, the Comptroller gave him a printout of marijuana fees collected FY16 through first quarter FY19 for a total of $61 ,304.85. On November 5,2019, the Board gave the Town of Amargosa $15,000 .00 from fund 409 and $10,000.00 from fund 411 for a total of $25,000.00. The County kept more than $18 ,000 .00 of fund 42010 and $18,171 .00 from fund 42012. He asked why that money had not been given to the town as NRS 269 showed that the laws for marijuana were effective through June 30 2020. He also wondered if that money rolled over into the County's general fund .

Mrs. Rucker

explained those two revenue streams were sales license fees associated with cannabis licensing. The business sales fee was what the County kept for administration. The licensing fees were returned to the town boards. Page 14 showed actual prior year ending was $681,000 .00, FY20 was projected at $150,000.00 , and final approved for FY21 was $132,000 .00. A substantial amount of licensing fees were given back to the towns and that would be reflected in the ending fund balance for FY20 and FY21 . Captain David Boruchowitz, speaking as president of the Nye County Association of Sheriff's Supervisors, stated his association approached the County immediately when this came up a week ago and attempted to negotiate some form of a concession, but they had received less than an appropriate response from the County. His association stood ready to assist in any way to help the County be successful, but Captain Boruchowitz said making assumptions of the financial situation and asking the employees to make concess ions without backing was not appropriate . He said the budget asked for a 2.5% concession across the board and his association was willing to talk , but they were not getting a response and members of other associations were encountering the same thing . May 29,2020 10.10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2020­ 2021 Final Budget for Nye County; and discussion and deliberation to adopt, or amend and adopt the Final Budget for Nye County for Fiscal Year 2020-2021­ Cont'd.

Mrs. Rucker

offered to send Captain Boruchowitz the presentation she gave on May 11 , 2020 , as well as the Applied Analysis report that was used for revenue and expenditure reductions. She also offered to meet with anyone and review the budget line by line.

Commissioner Koenig

20. ADJOURN

Commissioner Koenig

adjourned the meeting. ATTEST: Chair PUBLIC COMMENT FOR MAY 29, 2020 NYE COUNTY BoCC MEETING I submit this public comment via e-mail to be read and ask that it is be included in the minutes of this meeting. Once again I would like the BoCC to explain to the public why the unincorporated Town of Belmont does not have a tentative budget, as is required by State law and County code. The BoCC is the governing body of this unincorporated town. My public comment from the May 19th BoCC meeting was shared with the County Auditor, and requested a response. I have never received even a courteous thank you from him. In responding to my public records request, Nye County Administration, through their Public Information Office, stated that five working days is not sufficient time for them to provide the contact name for the alleged local governmental entity of the Town ofBelmont. They are going to need possibly another week to come up with this information. In responding to my public records request, the Nevada Department of Taxation can respond to me in less than six hours and state that they have no records of the Town ofBelmont as a local governmental entity. The County gave parcels of land to the Town ofBelmont and claimed that the Town ofBelmont did not need to pay the delinquent property taxes, transfer taxes or property taxes on these parcels. Which is good, because they have no budget. Surprisingly, in reading the quitclaim deeds for these properties, the County Treasurer and the Chief Deputy County Treasurer explicitly state that they have received the full amount of the delinquent property taxes for these parcels from this alleged local governmental entity in "lawful money of the United States of America". Anybody else think that this is really starting to stink? As the ultimate authority in this County, you would think the BoCC would take some interest in this, that they would realize that the optics of this reflect poorly on OUR County. You'd think the County Commissioners would want to show some true leadership and reach out to say, "What can we do to help get this straightened out?" The silence of the Board of County Commissioners speaks volumes. In fact, it is deafening. My documentation is attached to this public comment.

Mr. McArthur

As Auditor for Nye County, Nevada I feel that you should be made aware of a public comment I made at the May 19, 2020 Board of County Commissioners meeting for Nye County. My public comment was in regards to the lack of a budget for the Belmont Town Advisory Board and the unincorporated Town of Belmont, plus what appeared to be financial improprieties. As a Town Advisory Board created under the Town Advisory Government Law of the State of Nevada, the County Commissioners are required to solicit the advice of the Town Advisory Board with respect to a tentative budget for the town. In the nearly 25 years since this Boards creation , this has never occurred. The Town of Belmont appears to own property in the town and has acquired these tax delinquent parcels through quest ionable means. The waiving of the requirement to pay the delinquent taxes, property taxes and transfer taxes does not appear to be above board, since these entit ies do not meet the definition of "local governments" . Since these entities have no budgets , no NRS 269 .615 audits of their records has ever occurred . Any insight or comments you could provide regard ing these issues would be greatly appreciated . My public comment is attached . I would appreciate an acknowledgement of receipt of this e-mail and a response from you regarding these issues .
