3. Ex Parte Communications and Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statements.
Commissioner Strickland
stated she was a sitting Nye County Commissioner and a well drilling contractor with Strickland Construction which put in septic systems and set pumps. She was also a real estate broker working in real estate which involved water rights brokering as well as the owner of Lakeside Storage.
4. Presentation by the Director of Emergency Management regarding the status
Commissioner Cox
talked about a report she read regarding flawed tests resulting in false positives. She also did not agree with having to wear masks.
Commissioner Strickland
asked Chief Lewis if he thought masks were necessary for the County to stay open, to which he responded yes since the science supported it.
Commissioner Blundo
mentioned the conflicting stories, notably that the Governor wanted to go to phase one and shut the State down again. Chief Lewis said he heard that, though not directly through the State. He advised Nevada was being watched closely and there were a lot of other states that would not let Nevadans in right now. The numbers also continued to escalate, which did not help the cause. He said the only way to get through this was with teamwork.
Commissioner Koenig
said his biggest concern right now was when people were safe to go out after a positive test. It started out at 20 days, the CDC then said 10, and there were cases in Pahrump where people were still positive at 19 days. He said it was disturbing to not have answers.
5. Commjssjoners’IManaqer’s Comments (This item limited to announcements or
Commissioner Cox
said she read an article that said COVID was in the Pahrump prison. She clarified it was not the Pahrump prison but rather Core Civic, a private corporation, and a lawsuit had been filed.
Commissioner Strickland
said she was looking forward to breaking ground at the OHV track at the Pahrump fairgrounds. Also, applications were available for membership on an OHV advisory committee if there was an interest.
Commissioner Blundo
said he was extremely disappointed with the legislative special session going after mining and thanked Ira Hansen for speaking out. He would like to look at Yucca Mountain as a solution because of the jobs and infrastructure it would bring. Commissioner Blundo then advised DETR was sued and the judge said retroactive payments would be made. July 21, 2020 5. Commissioners’IManager’s Comments (This item limited to announcements or topiclissues proposed for future workshopslagendas)-Cont’d. Public Works Director Tim Dahl introduced Assistant Public Works Director Thomas Boiling. Regarding the jail, Tim Sutton advised there was a COVID outbreak in both the correctional facility and the Pahrump local jail.
Commissioner Cox
asked if it was possible to get a count of how many prisoners there were in the CCA facility because in the lawsuit they stated it was way overcrowded, there was no room to separate people or maintain a six foot distance, and there were not enough tests. She also wanted to know how many ICE inmates were in the facility versus just local inmates.
Mr. Sutton
said the Pahrump jail outbreak was both ICE and local inmates. He did not know how many inmates were in CCA, but about 62 were ICE inmates and 35 of those ICE inmates tested positive.
7. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT (Three-minute time limit per person.) Action will
Commissioner Blundo
stated that neither he nor the County had any involvement with the No Mask Nevada Pact.

Commissioner Strickland
made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. July 21, 2020 TIMED ITEMS
10. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Community Development Block Grant
Commissioner Strickland
wanted to consider moving forward on the fairgrounds’ sewer disposal or wastewater, perhaps the ball fields lighting for the fairgrounds, and maybe help with the Tonopah sidewalks and street fronts project. Ammie Nelson felt there was a dire need for a facility with bathrooms and showers for homeless people as well as a place for them to cool off. Jim Petell felt there was a house-less problem, not a homeless problem. He suggested taking half of the $5.5 million from VEA and making a house-less center. John Bosta said he did not know if a Brownfields project could be considered, but there was a Brownfields project on Tamarack Street in Amargosa Valley approved for over $1 million. When the town asked for that land the County said it had acquired it. The County cleaned up the scrap metal, but there were 50-gallon barrels leaking fluid onto the ground. Mr. Bosta said that project did not go through because the County would not release the land and suggested that it be looked at. He also suggested charging stations for electric cars in Amargosa Valley. July 21, 2020 II. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Hearing to Show Cause, discussion and — — deliberation pursuant to Nye County Code 17.04.860 to: 1) Determine if unhealthful nuisance conditions exist at 5908 E.

47. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a Memorandum
Commissioner Cox
was present. Deputy District Attorney Nicholas Pitaro informed the Board that never once was he contacted about this collective bargaining unit until it was finalized and had not paid dues. The rest of the Deputy District Attorneys also did not understand what was going on. There was no effort whatsoever to get their opinion of the unit and Mr. Pitaro found it offensive the first time he was approached by it was to make concessions. He said he did not know who they were or who they represented.
Commissioner Blundo
said he had an e-mail talking about this subject matter. Unions had been decertified for having too few members and it did not seem to him that there was anybody in this union. Tim Sutton explained he was approached by the union with the proposed MOU so he brought it forward to the Board, but if there was no one to represent within the collective bargaining unit then it was an easy vote. He knew there was an effort by a group of criminal deputy district attorneys who were no longer with the office to unionize and that their terminations were being challenged by the EMRB so there was a possibility some of those individuals might be reinstated. The EMRB recognized the group as a collective bargaining unit and Mr. Sutton did not know if any of the people who replaced them had any desire to be part of the union. July21, 2020 47. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Nye County and the Nye County Management Employees Association Criminal Deputy District Attorneys (NCMEA-CDDAs) regarding employee concessions-Cont’d.
Commissioner Strickland
made a motion to continue this item until August 18, 2020; seconded by Commissioner Cox; 5 yeas. TIMED ITEMS 18. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation — — to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2020-13: A Bill proposing to approve a Development Agreement between Nye County and Cedar Trees, LLC, for the North Canyon Homes Subdivision; and providing for the severability, constitutionality and effective date thereof; and other matters properly relating thereto.
Commissioner Koenig
opened and closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Koenig
said there was no mention in the agreement of how many acres of land there was, how many homes there would be, and there was no Attachment A.
Commissioner Strickland
disclosed she was a sitting Nye County Commissioner, president of Strickland Construction, and a general contractor like the applicant was. Brett Waggoner explained Attachment A would come later when there was actually a tentative map. This was a step prior to that. As far as the description of the property, he believed it was in the agreement.
Commissioner Koenig
said it did have the APNs and he had to go to the APNs to figure out how many acres it was.
Commissioner Strickland
said it was 16 acres for 67 lots.
Commissioner Koenig
asked if that was the same as last time. Ken Murphy explained this designation was for 20,000 square foot lots, half acre each, with a maximum of 32 based on the roads and the final study as to how they would accommodate the property. In response to Commissioner Koenig’s question as to how to fix that, Michelle Nelson said it could be amended and adopted. Ken Murphy said his original concept was to do smaller homes with the largest at 1,800 square feet, which would help keep the prices of the homes down. The Board did not want him to do lots that size so he decided to go to 20,000 square feet and 2,000 to July21, 2020 18. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation — — to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2020-13-Cont’d. 3,000 square foot homes. The idea was to find something like what was at Artesia but smaller.
Commissioner Cox
asked why the County was involved with this instead of Mr. Murphy doing it himself.
Mr. Waggoner
said Mr. Murphy could do that but explained a development agreement was a benefit to both the County and the developer as it stipulated how the project would be developed and the impact fees that would be paid. Mr. Murphy did not have to continue on with the development agreement, but the money was already spent.
Commissioner Cox
asked if Planning was forcing every developer to have an HOA.
Mr. Waggoner
clarified that was a recommendation and they were not forcing anyone to do anything.
Commissioner Blundo
asked Mr. Murphy what his thoughts were on Simkins and Highway 160 to the development.
Mr. Murphy
said it needed to be improved. He advised he did not get to talk to anyone concerning contributing toward it, but he would be willing to contribute his fair share to improve that street at any time.
Commissioner Blundo
wondered if the Board would like to give Mr. Murphy the latitude to develop a majority of these with half acre lots.
Commissioner Strickland
advised she had seven letters in opposition to any subdividing. She said while the subdivision was proposed in the tariff area of a water district that would also be able to provide sewage treatment, Mr. Murphy was still creating 32 more houses to landscape and provide water for. She stated she had stood up for water and had been anti-subdivision for a very good reason as there were 80,000 lots out there.
Commissioner Strickland
made a motion to deny; seconded by Commissioner Cox.
Mr. Murphy
explained the water company said the amount of water they had to allocate for 67 lots was 1.67 acre feet. Going to half acres he was now required to allocate 1.1 acre feet, and the State mandated anything over an acre had to have 2 acre feet. Smaller lots used less water and he was trying to maximize the water usage while making smaller streets for the County to maintain. He thought it was a good thing for the County and the town. July 21, 2020 18. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation — — to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2020-13-Cont’d.
Commissioner Strickland
asked in order to create a parcel how many acre feet had to be given up, to which Mr. Waggoner responded three per Code.
Commissioner Strickland
wondered why the County would create more parcels for more water use. She felt eventually there would not be any water.
Commissioner Koenig
commented that with the original 67 that would have been 44.89 acre feet and now it was only 35 acre feet, so theoretically water was actually saved by making bigger houses on bigger lots.
Commissioner Blundo
said he could support the half acre lots as he did not think it would be detrimental to the community and there was a potential to get a road fixed.
Commissioner Cox
said she would have liked to have a map with this.
Mr. Waggoner
said it was hard to ask a developer to go through the expense of getting a map prepared when they did not even have the agreement they needed to move towards that map. This item was asking for approval to map his subdivision for 32 lots maximum. If he got that approval then this agreement would dictate what he agreed to, spell out any kind of road improvements that would come out of the traffic study, and any drainage improvements.
Commissioner Cox
said she probably should not have seconded the motion to deny and withdrew her second.
Commissioner Wichman
asked Mr. Murphy if he had the water he needed, to which Mr. Murphy responded he had 85% of it, which was about 24 acre feet.
Commissioner Wichman
asked if Mr. Murphy would grow hemp and irrigate it or do some sort of farming with his acre feet if he did not get to develop his property.
Mr. Murphy
said he would either sell it or grow something on it to make money.
Commissioner Wichman
asked Mr. Waggoner which would use less water in his experience, a household or irrigated acreage.
Mr. Waggoner
said definitely a development of a subdivision with houses was going to use far less than any agricultural operation. Public Works Director Tim DahI added that Mr. Murphy was aware of what improvements he would need to do. This would also be a document that Mr. Murphy July 21 2020 18. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation — — to adopt, amend and adopt, or reiect Nye County Bill No. 2020-13-Cont’d. would have to submit and any improvements recommended by the traffic engineer approved by Public Works would also have to be done.
Commissioner Blundo
made a motion to approve the amended development agreement stating that it would be for half acre lots throughout the whole subdivision; seconded by
Commissioner Koenig
said the phasing schedule on page 20 of the development agreement was invalid and asked if the motion could include that the total number shall not be greater than 32.
Commissioner Blundo
amended his motion to approve the amended development agreement stating that it would be for half acre lots throughout the whole subdivision and the total number shall not be greater than 32; Commissioner Wichman amended her second. Jim Petell said there would now be a nice subdivision in that area. John Bosta spoke of the Tischner Report, which said every new subdivision was a deficit to the County of $900.00 per year as the development agreement did not cover the cost of the subdivision. He also pointed out there was nothing in the new agreement about construction of roads and no map was presented. Ammie Nelson said she was told the groundwater management plan only applied if there was no growth. Since that plan was approved over 500 homes had been approved in Artesia without upgrading the cost and now the County wanted to do more.
Ms. Nelson
lived on a fixed income and every time these homes were put in the taxes went up. She also talked about the lack of water and hoped the Board voted against it. Treasurer John Prudhont strongly encouraged the Board to vote for Mr. Murphy’s project.
Commissioner Koenig
said one of his problems with this was if it was turned down Mr. Murphy could build the homes anyway and the County got nothing. If the agreement was approved then the County got some guarantees for the roads, etc.
Commissioner Strickland
stated a development agreement was not required because of the VR2O zoning. All Mr. Murphy had to do was go before the RPC and get approved.
Mr. Waggoner
clarified Mr. Murphy would come before this Board, but he could do a subdivision map for half acre lots and bring it back. July21, 2020 18. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation — — to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2020-13-Cont’d.
Commissioner Strickland
said in the alternative the Board could amend this item to not approve this development agreement but rather approve him for the parceling at half acre lots. Maria Zlotek said that would have to come back as a separate item.
Commissioner Strickland
was concerned with the other expired development agreements and asked how many there were.
Mr. Waggoner
said there were at least five and clarified it was not that they had expired. For example, Pleasant Valley had 800 parcels originally in their development agreement and they only got a final map approved for 100. Since that tentative map and development agreement had expired, if someone was to come in and propose developing the rest of Pleasant Valley they would have to start over.
Commissioner Strickland
said she hoped the Board was thinking about what it was doing because the applicant had the right to do 32 half acre parcels without a development agreement.
Commissioner Koenig
was concerned about setting a precedent by approving this development agreement for half acre lots as none were approved in the past.
Commissioner Wichman
said a development agreement was in the County’s best interest as it locked the developer into helping with certain things the County would be responsible for. She did not understand what the problems were with the development agreements other than in the past there were a number of them that were open-ended with no expiration date and expiration dates had now been established on them.
Commissioner Wichman
made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Blundo; 5 yeas. TIMED ITEMS 19. 10:15 a.m. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the — — Treasurer’s Report by Nye County Treasurer on bank reconciliation, Department of Taxation recommendations, and the balance in each county, state and, special fund, together with a statement of all money on deposit; outstanding checks against that money and cash on hand pursuant to NRS 354.280. Treasurer John Prudhont advised the next CLGF meeting was scheduled for August 12, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. to update them. SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY BOARD OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Blundo
assumed the Chair of the Board of Highway Commissioners. 20. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding General Road Report by Public Works Director on General Road Maintenance, Gravel Road Maintenance, Asphalt Patching, Weed Mowing and direction regarding public work projects. Public Works Director Tim DahI said he had spoken to the head of maintenance for NDOT and she was organizing the placement of buttons and reflectors to better mark the lanes on both roundabouts on Highway 372, but she did not say when that would happen. He looked at Laughlin last week and patched some potholes. A pre construction meeting was scheduled next week for Anvil and Powerline Road and Mr. DahI hoped the project could start the following week. Lastly, he got some durapatcher oil so that machine would be out working soon.
Commissioner Cox
asked if the Laughlin repair was temporary or if it needed to be repaved.
Mr. DahI
said there were no plans to repave it since it appeared the surface was in good shape and there were 100 other roads that were in worse condition.
Commissioner Wichman
said she had a request for help on Mizpah Circle, Occidental Drive, Crescent Drive, and Desert Queen Road. The complainant said they were disasters and the roads had deteriorated away. The crews filled the holes with dirt every so often but the dirt came out, stayed on the road and caused people to skid through stop signs. July 21, 2020 20. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding General Road Report by Public Works Director-Cont’d.
Mr. Dahi
said it sounded like those roads were better suited for the durapatcher rather than cold mix and there was a durapatcher in Tonopah. He said he could send up a 1,000-gallon tank of oil for the durapatcher tomorrow and get the crew started.
Commissioner Strickland
asked for an update on Homestead and the highway.
Mr. DahI
advised the contractor still had not received the software and supplies to do those improvements.
Commissioner Blundo
asked for the status of Cabo and Quail Run and when the chip seal program would be put out.
Mr. DahI
said Cabo and Quail Run were the next projects for his team to initiate and the chip seal program would be brought to the Board at the next meeting.
Commissioner Blundo
asked if NDOT could be told about the conditions of Highway 160 by Oxbow and Wilson and Oxbow and Highway 160 on the lead up to it heading north on Highway 160 did not look good. It looked like it sunk in one area.
Mr. DahI
said they had tried to repair that tire path a couple of times. He believed NDOT was preparing an overlay project that would include repairing that section of road as well as north of Basin on Highway 160. Jim Petell said nothing had been done on Bell Vista or Leslie and something needed to be done to Pahrump Valley Boulevard from Thousandaire to Mount Charleston. Also, the patches on Whirlwind were just patches and it was a nasty road. Ammie Nelson thanked Mr. DahI for fixing the pothole near the post office as well as for the update on the roundabout. She mentioned no one asked Mr. DahI about the expenses for the roads and upkeep in the new development areas. SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY LICENSING AND LIQUOR BOARD
Commissioner Strickland
assumed the Chair of the Licensing and Liquor Board. July21, 2020 LIQUOR 21. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Hearing to Show Cause, discussion and deliberation to: 1) Consider reinstating Liquor Licenses that are suspended due to nonpayment of license renewal fees pursuant to Nye County Code 55.04.330(A) from the following list of licensees: CVS Pharmacy #8789, CW Nevada, LLC., El Valle Restaurant, Escapees Co-Op of Nevada, MJG Jupiter Enterprises, LLC., R and H Market, Raley’s #120, Round Mountain Golf Course, Rubalcaba’s Taco Shop, Tonopah Shell, Tonopah Texaco Truck and Auto Plaza; or 2) Allow additional time to pay delinquent renewal fees.
Commissioner Strickland
opened the show cause hearing and asked the licensing administrator to provide an update on the licenses. Michelle Nelson corrected a typographical error in the agenda item. The Board was actually moving forward pursuant to 55.04.033(A) rather than 55.04.330(A). Samantha Tackett advised all but two listed had paid. CW Nevada, LLC, had chosen not to renew their license and she believed Escapees Coop of Nevada had chosen not to renew as well due to ownership and management changes.
Commissioner Koenig
made a motion to renew all licenses except Escapees and CW Nevada; seconded by Commissioner Blundo.
Commissioner Strickland
closed the show cause hearing.
Commissioner Blundo
disclosed he held a privilege Nye County liquor license that would not preclude him or sway his vote on the matters at hand. He asked if renew was the proper term.
Commissioner Koenig
amended his motion to reinstate all licenses except Escapees and CW Nevada; Commissioner Blundo amended his second; 5 yeas. 22. For Possible Corrective Action Discussion and deliberation to ratify the meeting of 3 members of the Licensing and Liquor Board (quorum pursuant to NCC 5.04.040) on July 7, 2020 with JEH, LLC., Nevada Wine Cellars, Inc. dba, Pahrump Valley Winery and ratify the action of examining and accepting documentation from JEH, LLC., Nevada Wine Cellars, Inc. dba, Pahrump Valley Winery on July 7, 2020.
Commissioner Koenig
made a motion to ratify the meeting of three members of the Licensing and Liquor Board (quorum pursuant to NCC 5.04.040) on July 7, 2020 with JEH, LLC, Nevada Wine Cellars and ratify the action of examining and accepting documentation from them; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. July 21, 2020 22. For Possible Corrective Action Discussion and deliberation to ratify the meeting of 3 members of the Licensing and Liquor Board (quorum pursuant to NCC 5.04.040) on July 7, 2020 with JEH, LLC., Nevada Wine Cellars, Inc. dba, Pahrump Valley Winery and ratify the action of examining and accepting documentation from JEHI LLC., Nevada Wine Cellars, Inc. dba, Pahrump Valley Winery on July 7, 2020-Cont’d. Mike Meacher, vice president of Front Site, said they surveyed their students routinely when they attended classes who all relayed positive experiences at the Pahrump Valley Winery and Symphony Restaurant. He asked the Board to expedite approval with whatever was going on with the liquor license so the establishment could be open for their students.
Commissioner Blundo
said his primary concern was if the Board ratifying this action would open the County up to potential liability with everyone else who was suspended. Maria Zlotek explained the ratification would not open it up for any other liability or preferential treatment as this was just to ratify because there was a Code that contained verbiage of a quorum that was created many years ago.
Commissioner Strickland
added she found an NRS which said majority, but the Nye County Code stated for a board of six a quorum was three and no one knew. Tim Sutton said he learned that at the time the Licensing and Liquor Board was created in 1983 the Board of County Commissioners was only comprised of three members. The Sheriff made it a four-member board so a three-member quorum would be appropriate. He thought that was never changed when the Commission went to a five- member board and the Code would be amended.
Commissioner Blundo
disclosed that he held a Nye County privilege liquor license and it would not affect or impede his ability to participate in the proceedings.
Commissioner Koenig
made a motion to ratify the action taken by Commissioner Debra Strickland during a meeting of three members of the Liquor and Licensing Board on July 7, 2020, with Nevada Wine Cellars regarding extending the application document submission deadline; seconded by Commissioner Wichman; 5 yeas. 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding future suspension reinstatement procedures and direction to staff to commence code amendment procedures within Nye County Code Chapter 5.04 Article V Licenses, Suspensions, and Revocation.
Commissioner Koenig
directed staff to go through the chapter. He explained there were steps to take in the chapter when the Board revoked a license, but nothing when a license was suspended. His personal opinion was when they had not paid or were late and they were suspended, when they came in the next day and paid the chair and the Sheriff should be able to give them their license back instead of having them wait two weeks for a Board meeting.
Commissioner Wichman
said she had some amendments she would like to make.
Commissioner Cox
said she would like to see the whole Code simplified as it made it very difficult on everybody.
Commissioner Blundo
disclosed he held a Nye County privilege liquor license that would not preclude him from participating in these matters. He said he had concerns with empowering the chair of the Licensing and Liquor Board to reinstate licenses, but he agreed there was ambiguity within the Code.
Commissioner Koenig
assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. July21, 2020 SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF PAHRUMP 25. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation — — to: 1) Adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Pahrump Town Bill No. 2020-01 titled Motor Vehicles, Chapter 72.020, titled speed limit imposed by changing the speed limits in the area of Honeysuckle Park/Ian Deutch Park, and providing for the severability, constitutionality and effective date thereof; and other matters properly relating thereto; and 2) Set an effective date.
Commissioner Strickland
made a motion to continue this item to August 18, 2020, at 10:00 a.m.; seconded by Commissioner Wichman.
Commissioner Koenig
opened and closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Cox
said this had been going on forever and nothing seemed to be changing. She referred to the language that stated unless otherwise provided in the ordinance the maximum allowable speed shall be 45 mph on all town roads and/or highways. She did not like the word highways as there was a 55 mph speed limit from the other side of Basin out to Mesquite and on. She would like that looked at and felt there were a few streets in town that could use the 55 mph limit. MarIa Zlotek said this public hearing was for a specific area. There was a motion to continue and she thought the conversation was drifting off the subject by discussing other streets not included in this item.
Commissioner Cox
said she did not agree with continuing this, but if it was going to be continued she wanted to see that changed. She would also like to justify returning to a 45 mph speed limit on Pahrump Valley Boulevard considering it was that speed previously.
Commissioner Cox
suggested moving this item up on the agenda so people did not have to sit at the meeting all day.

For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to consider Neal Jones’s request to rescind, repeal, cancel, void andlor nullify Nye County Resolutions 2020-16: A Resolution Directing the Transfer of Nye County Treasurer Trust Property Into Nye County Ownership for Public Purposes and 2013-17: A Resolution Directing the Transfer of Nye County Treasurer Trust Property Into Town of Belmont Ownership for Public Purposes.
Commissioner Blundo
explained he sponsored this item since he did not feel Neal Jones had an appropriate venue to discuss this in. Neal Jones asked that his written statement be included in the minutes [see Attachment 1]. He asked that Resolution Nos. 2020-16 and 2013-17 be rescinded as the deceptive manner in which they were passed or enacted was fraudulent. Resolution No. 2020-16 concerned the easements for roads and water lines for the Manhattan water system which had already been established by Resolution No. 2011-30. Mr. Jones felt the Board and the public were provided with false and misleading information regarding the background of the Manhattan water system, its infrastructure and previously established easements. As to Resolution No. 2013-17, which granted title to properties in Belmont to the Town of Belmont pursuant to NRS 361.603, Mr. Jones argued the Town of Belmont was not a legitimate local governmental entity and did not meet the criteria listed in NRS 361.603 to be considered one. As such, it could not legally acquire title to the properties. He also pointed out the delinquent taxes on the parcels had never been paid.
Commissioner Cox
said this concerned her as she believed Mr. Jones was right in many of the things he said unless someone could prove different. She thought the District Attorney should take a look at it and provide an opinion. If it was a conflict for the District Attorney to do it then they could ask the Attorney General’s Office for an opinion. She would like a motion made to that effect. Michelle Nelson advised at this point the agenda item was to rescind, repeal, cancel, void or nullify. There was no direction in the item to refer it to the District Attorney’s Office. She suggested the Commissioners continue this item and then contact the District Attorney’s Office to look into it.
Commissioner Cox
made a motion to incorporate all of the suggestions made by the Deputy District Attorney and have this item held until September 15, 2020, so the District Attorney’s Office could look into it; seconded by Commissioner Blundo. July21, 2020 41. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to consider Neal Jones’s request to rescind, repeal, cancel, void andlor nullify Nye County Resolutions 2020-16: A Resolution Directing the Transfer of Nye County Treasurer Trust Property Into Nye County Ownership for Public Purposes and 2013-17: A Resolution Directing the Transfer of Nye County Treasurer Trust Property Into Town of Belmont Ownership for Public Purposes-Cont’d. John Bosta encouraged the Board to vote for this item as Mr. Jones presented a lot of documentation and demonstrated that this was something the Board should take a look at Janice Berard asked that her statement be included in the minutes [see Attachment 2]. She felt some Commissioners had purposely ignored the facts that Mr. Jones had presented and some had shown minimal respect or understanding for the rule of law. She believed others were falsely influenced and deliberately misled by some of their very own colleagues. Ms. Berard urged the majority of the Board to support Mr. Jones by rescinding the two resolutions and not postpone the decision. Ammie Nelson said she had heard some of the information that Mr. Jones brought forward and the issues were documented, yet he was treated as if he did not know what he was talking about. According to the back-up this was something he was involved in and in her opinion the Board should vote yes.
Commissioner Wichman
said no resolution was put on the agenda without it going through the District Attorney’s Office. She thought continuing this item and giving the District Attorney time to go through it was a waste of staff time. Maria Zlotek said she was involved in the Manhattan sewer line project and there were at least two banker boxes or more of documents that would have to be reviewed, which were also reviewed when the Manhattan water project was going on. She said the issue here was the questions brought up by Mr. Jones and allegations without information to back-up the allegations. Ms. Zlotek stated this would be time consuming and she was not sure it could be accomplished in two months as it was a project. CLERK 42. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to appoint two members to the Amargosa Valley Town Board due to two resignations from the following list of applicants: John Bosta and Richard Claessens.
Commissioner Blundo
said he wanted to open it up for more applicants. July 21, 2020 42. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to appoint two members to the Amargosa Valley Town Board due to two resignations from the following list of applicants: John Bosta and Richard Claessens-Cont’d. Sam Merlino advised this was the second publication.
Commissioner Wichman
said there were several counties and many town advisory boards in the State which operated with a three-man board. Given the lack of phone calls and complaints she assumed this three-man board was doing a good job. She suggested having the town board revisit what established the five-man board and see if they were willing to operate with a three-man board instead.
Commissioner Koenig
said his problem was there was an election coming up and each one of these people wanted to get elected. Putting anyone on the Board gave them an unfair advantage. Pat Minshall from the Amargosa Valley Town Board said they had been operating for the past four months with three people and were doing very well. Barring complications she felt they could continue the way they were. Ms. Minshall agreed to look into amending the document that required a five-man board. Janice Berard asked that her statment be included in the minutes [see Attachment 3]. She referred to the statement made on May 19, 2020, by Commissioner Wichman that she was reluctant to appoint the two qualified applicants because she did not want to remove someone as she had done in the past. Ms. Berard believed that comment and the actions made that date toward John Bosta were discriminatory and based on a personal dislike rather than the qualifications of him as an applicant. She felt it was time for some to set their personal beefs and discrimination aside and allow Mr. Bosta to take a seat on the Amargosa Town Board. Neal Jones stated the Amargosa Valley Town Board had by-laws that said they had to have five people on their board so that was what they should have. He felt the applicants had met every criteria placed on them by this Board twice now and each time no one else wanted to do it. Herman Lewis said he supported Mr. Jones, but Mr. Bosta had criminal charges pending. Mr. Lewis suggested having those charges resolved and then moving forward as they were serious charges.
Commissioner Cox
said both people appeared to be qualified and were the only ones that came forward in the last four months to put their names in. She did not believe it would behoove the Board to not appoint Mr. Bosta because charges were pending. If it became a three-man board in the future the Board would have to vote on that and if that was the case then all advisory boards should be reduced to three people.
Commissioner Cox
made a motion to approve John Bosta and Richard Claessens. July 21, 2020 42. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to appoint two members to the Amargosa Valley Town Board due to two resignations from the following list of applicants: John Bosta and Richard Claessens-Cont’d.
Commissioner Wichman
clarified the Board would not approve the changes to the town’s by-laws as they had their own town board. TREASURER 44.

Commissioner Wichman
made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2020-24; seconded by
Commissioner Strickland
. Diane Arvizo from the Nevada Rural Housing Authority provided an update on the agency and the programs they offered.
Commissioner Blundo
said section 3 stated the County agreed to not layoff, cut positions, freeze step advancements or demote any employee within the NCMEA bargaining unit other than as a disciplinary action as allowed for the in the current NCMEA collective bargaining agreement during the first quarter of FY21. He wanted to know what happened to the MOU if the County got in better fiscal shape.
Mr. Sutton
said even if the furloughs did not need to be taken the County would still be bound by those restrictions on terminations.
Commissioner Blundo
referred to section 2 which stated when the County revenues recovered to FY20 levels all concessions shall be retroactively reimbursed. He asked what the employees were conceding if they would be reimbursed.
Mr. Sutton
said that was the big if. If the County was able to repay then it should repay them. He also did not think it was unreasonable for them to request no layoffs if they were coming to the table with concessions.
Commissioner Wichman
made a motion to approve the MOU; seconded by
Commissioner Strickland
. Ammie Nelson did not think this was something that could even be projected at this time.
Mr. Sutton
expressed his appreciation to the management union for coming to the table and offering the concessions.

Mrs. Rucker
said they needed direction on the funding allocation plan. Since the next Board meeting was on August 4, 2020, the State would receive a draft policy on August 1, 2020, and then the Board approved policy.
Commissioner Koenig
said he liked a lot of this, but he wondered how he would figure out who to give what.
Mrs. Rucker
said she had received guidance on how to apply the programs, which would all be forwarded to the Board with the policies.
Commissioner Blundo
said he would like it to be easily executable for the applicants and for staff because of the reporting requirements. Tim Bohannon warned the Commissioners to be prepared for more compliance enforcement that the funds received were used as intended by the law. July 21, 2020 50. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1.) Discuss the allocation of Cares Act funding issued to Nye County in the amount of $8,496,059.00 between Nye County eligible expenditures and programs to be issued to sub-entities, small businesses, and constituents within Nye County, 2) Discuss the CARES Act funding program goals and guidelines, and 3) Provide direction to staff to bring forward a policy for CARES Act funding including the funding allocation, program goals, and program guidelines-Cont’d. Herman Lewis felt this needed oversight and there should be a citizen review board for it. Kathy McKenna, executive director for the Nevada Outreach Training Organization, spoke concerning some of the services they offered, one of which was dealing with utility and rental assistance. She said they also did case management and tried to look at the clients’ situation to put them on a track so they were not back in the same situation when the crisis was over.

She anticipated CTAX to fall short $568,000.00 from budget, but it could be better or it could be worse. Mrs. Rucker mentioned an article she read identifying Great Depression levels of unemployment in some cities and in June Nevada was 15%. Unemployment benefits were running out on state and federal levels and Nevada unemployment was about to run dry with seven weeks of funding left. Herman Lewis felt worse times were coming after the election. Treasurer John Prudhont said there were some items sitting in Finance for approval which would add to the numbers, one of which was the apportionments for June of over $800,000.00. In addition to that there was the excess proceeds from last year’s sale of around $600,000 so there was over $1 million to be added for FY20 to offset some of the budget deficit. He added funds would be realized for June in July and August as well. July 21, 2020 RECORDER 43.

Commissioner Koenig
adjourned the meeting. APPROVED this ATTEST: Of ,2020. Nyerk/Dep uty STATEMENT FOR AGENDA ITEM #41 AT JULY 21, 2020 NYE COUNTY BoCC MEETING I ask that this statement be included as part of the minutes of this meeting. I am here to ask that these county resolutions, 2020-16 and 20 13-17, be rescinded. My opinion is, the intent of the resolutions is good, but the deceptive manner in which they were passed or enacted, is fraudulent. We may have a difference of opinion, which is what we are here to discuss, openly and civilly. As I try to do, I intend to support my opinion with facts. That background documentation has been provided to you with this agenda item. NYE COUNTY RESOLUTION 2020-16 With respect to Nye County resolution 2020-16; • Easements for the roads and water lines for the Manhattan Water System were already established in Nye County Resolution 20 11-30. This resolution traded properties worth over $100,000 with Manhattan landowner Mr. Robert Bottom for these easements. This information was not shared with the BoCC at the May 19, 2020 meeting in order to pass Resolution 2020-16. • The water lines and access roads for the Manhattan Water System were then run through and over properties that were not covered by these easements. Properties that were not owned by Mr. Bottom and the County did not have the legal right to cross or access. This information was not shared with the BoCC in order to pass Resolution 2020-16. • Why did the County not follow the easements in which they established for these roads and infrastructure for the Manhattan Water System? This information was not shared with the BoCC in order to pass Resolution 2020-16. • To pass Resolution 2020-16, the BoCC, and the public, were told that these nine parcels would become “tax producing properties” after the easements were obtained and established. According to the email correspondences between Commissioner Wichman and Nye County Administration there are conflicts with the BLM or other issues on eight of the nine parcels covered by the Resolution thus putting clouds on the titles of those parcels. This information was not shared with the BoCC in order to pass Resolution 2020-16. • For these parcels to become “tax producing parcels” does Nyc County intend to sell them and fail to disclose this information on these conflicts and clouds when the properties are sold to some unsuspecting person or persons? This information is known by the County and they would have a legal responsibility to disclose this information. If not, what is the fallout against the County when it is later established that the County concealed this information? • The BoCC, and the public, were provided with false and misleading information regarding the background on the Manhattan Water System, its infrastructure and previously established easements. This was done to persuade the BoCC to pass Resolution 2020-16. I ask that Resolution 2020-16 be rescinded. The County should rework the resolution to clearly establish the facts surrounding the Manhattan Water System, its supporting infrastructure and associated easements. Bring these facts to light, clean up the issues surrounding the Manhattan Water System. If that entails the county obtaining and possibly retaining title to these properties, for public purposes, thus not being “tax producing properties”, so be it. Write the resolution in that manner and follow the legal path to do so. ATTACHMENT 1 ____ _____ Providing false and misleading information to the BoCC and to the public is not the way to clean up this situation. NYE COUNTY RESOLUTION 2013-17 a With respect to Nyc County Resolution 20 13-17; • This resolution was passed using NRS 361.603 as its basis orjustification. This law is written for local governments and the Nevada System of Higher Education to be able to obtain title to properties held in trust by the treasurer of the county in which they are located. • This resolution granted title to properties in Belmont to the Town of Belmont even though the Town of Belmont does not meet the criteria to be considered either a local government or is it part of the Nevada System of Higher Education. • The written, stated policy of Nye County, at the time this resolution was passed, was that if a local government wished to obtain title to tax delinquent properties, that local government must pay the delinquent taxes and must clearly state the public purposes that these properties would serve, if acquired. This never occurred. • Nye County claims to have no information related to who constitutes the Town of Belmont or who a contact person would be for this entity. That was until I sent a certified letter to the address listed for the Town of Belmont on the parcels they own. After that letter was received, Nye County then decided that County Manager, Mr. Sutton was the contact person for this entity, an entity that the county still has not been able to establish who it consists of, even though this entity is allowed to own property, at no cost to them and tax-free. • The facts show that the Belmont Town Advisory Board, not the Town of Belmont, was the entity that arranged to acquire title to these properties, allegedly holding a teleconference meeting on April 24, 2013, to discuss this. This is two months past the county’s stated deadline to acquire these properties. The Belmont Town Advisory Board, like the Town of Belmont. is not a legitimate local governmental entity and does not meet the criteria listed in NRS to be considered as such, therefore they could not, legally, acquire title to these properties. 1) There are no records of the alleged meeting of April 24, 2013 on the County’s website of the meetings of the Belmont Town Advisory Board. 2) Responding to a public records request, on June 3, 2020, Nye County provided a file (13.04.06 Belmont Minutes.pdf) that shows that the meeting minutes for this alleged meeting were initially provided to the county, via email, on April 16, 2013. This is eight days BEFORE the meeting allegedly occurred. This did not seem to bother the county. • The facts show that Nye County actually paid the delinquent taxes on these properties, stating that these properties were “retained by the county”, in June of 2014. The county could not produce any evidence that this was ever approved by the BoCC. • As has been repeatedly provided in the past, Nyc County has stated, in writing, in response to a public records request, that the Belmont Town Advisory Board is a separate governmental entity, not overseen by Nye County. If they are a separate governmental entity, not overseen by the county, why would the county allow them to arrange to acquire title to properties under the name of a different entity and then have the county pay for those properties? • Nye County has failed to produce any documentation to support the actions taken in Resolution 20 13-17. I ask that Resolution 20 13-17 be rescinded. The Town of Belmont and the Belmont Town Advisory Board are not a one-in-the-same entity. The Belmont Town Advisory Board seems to have a sense of entitlement that they can make improvements to property they do not own, never had to pay for and do not have the financial capabilities to fund. The county seems to embolden the sense of entitlement for Belmont and is creating a troubling legacy for Belmont. The properties in question were to have been auctioned off in 2013. At the tax delinquent property auction of 2013, when the Town of Belmont acquired these properties for the public good, Janice and I also purchased parcels. Most of the other members of the Belmont community only attended this auction to watch and observe, not to participate. We did not need the parcels. We did not need the added expense of these parcels. But we spent our hard-earned money for the primary reason to help keep the town as it was when we came out there 20 some years ago. Why can’t the Town of Belmont and the Belmont Town Advisory Board step up and do the same? Simple answer: they are not legitimate governmental entities and do not have the legal ability to own property. So why do they? If they wish to own these properties, the Town of Belmont and the Belmont Town Advisory Board should take on the responsibilities of becoming legitimate governmental entities and all the issues and trappings that come along with being as such. They should be responsible for their actions and expenditures just as all other proper entities are. That is their responsibility. Many are dissatisfied with me because I bring these issues out and do this publicly. Likely, there is a difference of opinion between you and me on this subject. I wish to have transparency, honesty and accountability in government, while it seems others do not. I have not asked for any actions to be taken that do not conform to the rule of law, only that the rule of law be followed and adhered to by all parties. Therefore, I ask that you rescind these resolutions, 2020-16 and 2013-17, because that is the right thing to do.

I will provide a copy to the County Clerk today. This is not the first time Mr. Jones has bravely stood before the BOCC to expose the questionable manner in which issues have been handled in northern Nye County. His efforts have not been as successful as they should be despite his meticulous, thorough documentation and well prepared statements. Some Commissioners have purposely ignored the facts that Mr. Jones has presented and have shown minimal respect or understanding for the rule of law. Others I believe were falsely influenced and deliberately mislead by some of their very own colleagues or so called Nye County ‘experts’. Thus votes were cast based on false information, spin, personal opinion rather than facts, deception and in some instances outright lies. Hardly a way in which the County should ethically and legally conduct its business and maintain the respect of the public they serve. As property owners in Belmont, Mr. Jones and I have seen principle compromised by those who represent us. We have seen the health and safety of the community set aside to protect the guilty. Personal responsibility and accountability shrugged off. Laws allowed to be broken by those with the ‘right’ connections. Deceit and deception taking preference over ethics and integrity. Individuals in power making their own rules rather than following the ones that the rest are expected to follow. Decent people’s lives and dreams destroyed because they challenged the status quo. Individuals rewarded for doing the dirty work of those in power. Friends abandoning friends because they were afraid or wanted to be on the winning side...no matter how disingenuous that side was. And the one that personally offends me the most - blaming the messenger for simply telling the truth. I am sure most listening get my drift, especially those who have followed Mr. Jones’ journey. Wouldn’t it be much easier to be honest, transparent and govern with integrity rather than trying to devise clever ways to bend the rules? Wouldn’t it be better to admit there is a problem rather than trying to hide it, or make half-baked attempts to fix it just to create the illusion that everything is okay? Wouldn’t just following the laws in the first place be far wiser than getting caught manipulating the situation and then being forced into damage control mode? Why not be truthful with your colleagues and the public you serve, rather than misleading them. Why not take the ethical approach and thus save the BOCC and Nye County government from embarrassment and agenda items that are forced to be revisited. And perhaps save the County from potential and expensive lawsuits that rob funds away from productive projects that might positively benefit the citizens of Nye County. 1 ATTACHMENT 2 So I urge the majority of the BOCC to please support Mr. Jones by rescinding the two resolutions that are presented to you today, not postpone the decision and acknowledge that they have not been handled honestly, ethically or correctly. Thank you. Janice Berard Email: jbnjreno@aol.com 2 BOCC PUBLIC COMMENT STATEMENT Agenda Item # 42 JULY 21, 2020 I request that this statement be entered into the minutes of this meeting. I will provide a copy to the County Clerk today. At the May 19, 2020 BOCC meeting it was explained by a Commissioner that she was reluctant to appoint the two qualified applicants to the Armargosa Town Board, because she did not want to remove “someone” like she had done in the past. I assume that this “someone” was Mr. John Bosta who was not “removed” but simply was not “reinstated” when his term expired on the infamous Nye County Water Board. It is my belief that the comments and actions made at the May 19th meeting towards Mr. Bosta are discriminatory and based on a great personal dislike, rather than the qualifications of him as an applicant. The appointment of this position should not be based on personal conflicts that each other carry or a popularity contest. It should be based on the qualifications of the applicant, their commitment to the job and most importantly their desire to practice accountable and ethical government that represents the community. I certainly believe Mr. Bosta fits that bill. Perhaps the real issue here is one that I mentioned earlier when commenting on Agenda Item #41, in regards to the rule of law. As most know, Mr. Bosta is a stickler for it. Those who he battles not so much. So perhaps that is the real reason why appointing Mr. Bosta is so difficult for some on the BOCC.
Mr. Bosta
was instrumental in creating the Armargosa Town Board in the first place. His advocacy in 2011 allowed the Board to make its own decisions, rather than having their decisions made for them by the BOCC. This was a major improvement giving Armargosa its own independence. To enhance that independence, Mr. Bosta fought to have Armargosa’s marijuana funds owned and held in the Town’s coffers, rather than in the Nye County general fund. Something that I believe the residents of Armargosa should have been extremely appreciative of, despite his efforts being sabotaged by the very people who do not want him getting appointed today.
Mr. Bosta
is aware of the issues in his community and cares about its future. He is a knowledgeable, intelligent, hardworking individual, who is willing to take on a job that is not always appreciated. So perhaps it is time for some to set their personal beefs and discrimination aside and allow Mr. Bosta to take a seat on the Armargosa Town Board. 1 ATTACHMENT 3 If the townspeople decide they no longer want Mr. Bosta on the Board, then they can vote him out, since he is on the November 2020 ballot. In the long run it is their well-earned independent right to determine who they want to represent them. Thank you. Janice Berard Email: jbnjreno@aol.com 2
