Attendance

Sheriff Wehrly

was not present at this time.

Commissioner Cox

was present via telephone.

Commissioner Strickland

said she knew Saturday was the 30-year anniversary of the Pahrump Museum, but she was not aware of any activities and hoped someone could get some information for them by the end of the day.

Commissioner Blundo

asked the County Manager to draft a letter from District IV to send to the Honorable Katherine Kimball Mizelle who struck down the unconstitutional face mask policy. He also asked for a follow-up from Planning regarding his Code amendments. Tim Sutton advised he sent Commissioner Blundo an e-mail yesterday. April 19, 2022 3. Commissioners’IManager’s Comments (This item limited to announcements or topiclissues proposed for future workshopslaqendas)-Cont’d. Interim Treasurer Mark Kampf described what he had been able to accomplish in the five days he had been in office and that he planned to do interviews to fill the open positions. He then talked about the first delinquency notices that were sent out. Per NRS 361 .485 if the tax was paid resulting in a deficiency of $5.00 or less than the amount due then the Ex Officio Tax Receiver may exempt the amount from collection.

Mr. Kampf

asked DevNet to help him reconstruct a file of the total amounts of those so he could do a thorough root cause analysis and present the results of that to the Board. He then stated he would not be able to make the agenda deadline for the May 3, 2022, meeting for the Treasurer’s report. Chris Arabia referred to the comments this morning about public records requests. He explained it was not his place to say whether he thought it was a good or bad request or speculate as to the motivations. His office had received several in the past month, one of which would take about 200 attorney hours to answer, which was basically a little more than a month of an attorney working full-time on that one request. It was an issue when requests required that amount of time.

Commissioner Jabbour

said he heard loud and clear that this would be quicker, easier and more efficient for her staff. She also had a limited staff considering what would be endured in the next few months with this election. April 19, 2022 26. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend, and approve, or reject a Sale and Purchase Agreement between Runbeck Election Services and Nye County-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox

asked if the $12,500.00 was a yearly cost or if it covered the three years.

Mrs. Merlino

said it was per year, but Runbeck said all three years could be purchased right now and be reimbursed by the State.

Commissioner Cox

said she received some negative feedback on this that concerned her. She believed it would make it easier on the Clerk’s staff, but Mrs. Merlino did not indicate that she could not live without it. Commissioner Cox wanted to keep everything in-house and not bring in anything more than what the County already had as she thought it would be more secure. She was against this.

Commissioner Blundo

had concerns with a contract that would lock in for the majority of the term of the incoming Clerk. He thought the timing was poor, maybe because of the grant or coincidence. He referred to Exhibit B, equipment list and prices, which talked about scanning signature capture software and signature client verification software.

Commissioner Blundo

thought that was software that could be set on a higher or lower signature match.

Mrs. Merlino

stated that was not the case.

Commissioner Blundo

said he did not like the item where the Clerk was requested to do the paper ballots. He would have liked something stronger telling her to do paper ballots because Mrs. Merlino denied the request. If this was something the next Clerk wanted to bring in Commissioner Blundo felt it should be his/her decision.

Mrs. Merlino

clarified this was not signature verification software, It was just a ballot sorting system that took an image of the envelope and the signature and allowed staff to compare them side by side in an easier manner. It scanned the envelope with the voter ID right into the system so it automatically pulled up that voter’s record and then staff was able to manually verify the signature. It was money from the State so it was paid for and it made the process easier and more efficient. Her staff did it in 2020 without this assistance and Mrs. Merlino imagined they could do it again.

Commissioner Strickland

said she did not want any more software and programs that could potentially get in the way of the results.

Mrs. Merlino

said this would not get in the way of anything. It was just a tool for her office, nothing more and nothing less.

Commissioner Jabbour

thanked Mrs. Merlino and said he was surprised a couple of the Commissioners had expressed some concerns. He was also surprised Mrs. Merlino did April 19, 2022 26. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend, and approve, or reject a Sale and Purchase Agreement between Runbeck Election Services and Nye Countv-Cont’d. not say anything about being down one employee who was a very instrumental employee during the election cycle as it was their primary function. It was unlikely that employee would return during this election cycle. Brian Davis said Runbeck had over 700,000 discrepancies in the Maricopa County system. Brian Runbeck, the owner of this system, had ties to non-profits that bailed out BLM and ANTIFA activists. He was also a big donor to Biden’s campaign so he was politically motivated with all things he was involved in. Mr. Davis recommended not adopting a system from that company and that person because of the partisanship issues. He felt there was another solution and if the Clerk was down an employee maybe a temporary or a team of temporaries could be found. Nichole Walters said in Fulton County they had pallets of ballots that were not sent out, which was a waste. Travis Ebarb said the pallets of ballots were actually printed between November 6, 2021 and November 10, 2021, and he had some of the articles and evidence which he asked to be entered into the public record [see Attachment 1]. Dealing with companies such as Runbeck conflicted with the clear and transparent election processes being looked for and he advised to not use them. Mr. Ebarb said grants could be used with other companies or committees could be hired between both partisan and non-partisan groups to count the ballots. Darrell Lackey said he would certainly volunteer to help count votes and thought other people would volunteer as well or additional employees could be hired. Josh Bissell said he was a concerned constituent against adopting Runbeck. Runbeck had shown it was not an accurate program in prior elections which was seen in multiple counties throughout the country. Voters needed to know the candidates they voted for were correctly handled and counted, and they had to have full trust in the election process. Less steps in a process did not always mean better. Mark Kampf, candidate for County Clerk, asked if this was a use or lose it grant; if IT had reviewed and confirmed this was not a system that could be accessed externally; and would it be on the County’s servers and tied into any other County systems that could be externally accessed. He understood this was not a counting system, just a sorting system to be able to manually verify signatures, but it did have modules to implement the signature verification process. Ashley Bissell agreed with everything stated and said she did not want her tax dollars going to any company that bailed out BLM or ANTIFA. April 19, 2022 26.

Commissioner Strickland

said some of the properties did not appear buildable to her as there was no water, power or sewer.

Commissioner Carbone

advised there were utilities out to the properties.

Mr. Haynes

said they did the research. They spoke with some local contractors and utility companies to assess the feasibility of it as well as the money involved and they were ready to proceed forward. April 19, 2022 29. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Determine that a public purpose may be served by the acquisition of the real property more particularly described as Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 038-041-05, 038-042-18, 038-052- 30, 038-061-19, 038-071-17, 038-094-01, 038-095-07, 038-112-17, 038-1 32-05, 038- 142-26, 038-1 52-23, 038-1 53-30, 038-181-30, 038-181-31, 038-191 -24, 038-202-08, 038-202-20, 038-224-04; 2) Consider the application made to the Board of County Commissioners by Nye County Administration for permission to acquire the real property described as Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 038-041 -05, 038-042-18, 038-052-30, 038-061-19, 038-071-17, 038-094-01, 038-095-07, 038-112-17, 038-1 32-05, 038-142- 26, 038-152-23, 038-153-30, 038-181-30, 038-181-31, 038-191-24, 038-202-08, 038- 202-20, 038-224-04; 3) Adopt, amend and adopt, or reiect Nye County Resolution No. 2022-12: A Resolution Directing the Transfer of Nye County Treasurer Trust Property into Nye County Ownership for Public Purposes; and 4) Fund in an amount not to exceed $6,012.16 in delinquent tax amounts from 10210— Veterans Services-Cont’d. Lorina Dellinger explained this item would transfer County ownership. She said she had to check with the Treasurer if the current noticing period could be considered the 90 days or if it had to start over. Once the redemption period was complete another item would be brought to Board to convey the property to the corporation for public benefit and there would be a deed restriction of construction to begin within 36 months or the property would convert to the County. John Bosta hoped the property was given to a 501 (c)3 for veterans and that it was sold to a veteran. If that was not in the vote they could sell the property to anyone once they received it.

Commissioner Carbone

said that was correct and he believed there was a seven year clause on the properties as well. It would be veterans only.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to determine the public purpose may be served by the acquisition of the real property more particularly described as the agenda item read, to make application by the Board and acquire the real property described as the agenda item read, adopt the resolution directing the transfer of the Nye County Treasurer trust property into Nye County ownership for public purposes, and fund in the amount not to exceed $6,012.16 in delinquent tax amounts from 10102 Veterans Services; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour.

Commissioner Carbone

said parcels 038-071-17 and 038-052-30 needed to be removed.

Commissioner Blundo

amended his motion to determine the public purpose may be served by the acquisition of the real property more particularly described as the agenda item read, removing parcels 038-071-17 and 038-052-30, to make application by the Board and acquire the real property described as the agenda item read, removing parcels 038-071-17 and 038-052-30, adopt the resolution directing the transfer of the April 19, 2022 29.

Nye County Treasurer trust property into Nye County ownership for public purposes, and fund in the amount not to exceed $6,012.16 in delinquent tax amounts from 10102 Veterans Services, removing those two properties; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour; 5 yeas. 28. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to ratify the County Manager, Tim Sutton’s selection of Thomas L. Boiling as Public Works Director. Tom Boiling said when he was hired as the assistant director he did not know the director would retire so early. The last year and a half was kind of a crash course in what the County was and what Public Works actually dealt with. He had learned there were a lot of things that needed to be done and a lot of things fixed, and that was what he was here to do.

Commissioner Carbone

said he knew there were some issues that had been stressed before and he wanted to make sure Mr. Boiling knew the Board would be at him on a constant basis. He knew training was needed, specifically what Mr. Boiling’s responsibilities were regarding purchasing and things of that nature, but working with the Commissioners was one of the things he needed to know. Mr. Boiling was responsible to the Commissioners directly as well as to the County Manager.

Commissioner Strickland

thanked Mr. Boiling for stepping up.

Commissioner Biundo

believed Mr. Boiling had good roots and history in the community. Mr. Boiling also took the reins and had done very well with it.

Commissioner Jabbour

thanked Mr. Boiling for his interest in the position. Constituents contacted the Commissioners day and night with concerns. Commissioner Jabbour called Mr. BoIling and Mr. Boiling responded and took care of things. Commissioner Jabbour stated that needed to happen with every Commissioner who called. April 19, 2022 28. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to ratify the County Manager, Tim Sutton’s selection of Thomas L. Boiling as Public Works Director- Co nt’ d.

Commissioner Cox

stated Mr. Boiling knew exactly how she felt, If he was voted in she hoped he got her last two items done immediately before someone else was killed on that corner. Public Works Secretary Lynette Atkinson said she worked with Mr. Boiling since he started two years ago and supported ratifying him as the Public Works Director. John Bosta said action had been taken on the roads in Ash Meadows since Mr. Bosta brought an item to the Board at the last meeting and he assumed Mr. Boiling had something to do with that.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to ratify County Manager Tim Sutton’s selection of Thomas L. Boiling as the Public Works Director; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour.

Commissioner Cox

said she would vote yes if Mr. Boiling he was given a six month probationary period. Tim Sutton advised he would have to check the union agreement to see what the probationary period was for directors, but he believed it was six months.

Commissioner Biundo

thought Commissioner Cox’s concerns were already addressed in the union agreement.

Mr. Sutton

explained the NCMEA agreement required a probationary period of 12 months for brand new employees. One of the priorities in the current round of negotiations was to change that to have an applicable period for people who were already in a bargaining unit and transferred up. That 12-month period would not cover

Mr. Boiling

as he had been with the union for awhile.

Commissioner Blundo

said his motion stood.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked Mr. Dunford to clarify relinquishment of municipal water rights versus agricultural water rights.

Mr. Dunford

said he could speak to the water rights they had. They had 4,095 acre feet, which they did not own. They donated those to the Pahrump Utility Company after conversion to municipal use from ag use, which was approved by the State Engineer. Pahrump Utilities was holding those waters rights for use in the planned community under a banking agreement. PUBLIC WORKS

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to determine a public purpose for drainage and right-of-way acquisitions, a practice that had been done, for the list of parcels in the agenda item, considered the application before the Board to acquire the real properties, adopt Resolution No. 2022-10, and fund in a not to exceed amount of $14,647.81 in delinquent tax amounts from 10205; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 5 yeas. TIMED ITEMS 9. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation — — on ZCMP-22-1: An application for a Conforming Zone Change to change one parcel totaling approximately 4.844 acres from Village Residential (VR-20) to Rural Homestead (RH-4.5) located at 401 West Bunarch Road. Pahrump, NV. Assessor’s Parcel Number 029-642-18. Robert Sanchez Owner/Applicant. Steve Osborne explained this was a conforming zone change. The RH-4.5 zone conformed to the rural density residential master plan designation. It was heard by the RPC last month and they recommended approval as did staff. The applicant wanted to build a house and have farm animals and horses, which was the only reason for doing this as the VR-20 did not allow for any kind of farm animals. Mr. Osborne did not see any issue with what they wanted to do and did not believe there was any opposition to it at the RPC level.

Commissioner Carbone

opened the public hearing. Helen Zabotkine said she was a business partner in Nature Health Farms, the neighbors to this property. They believed Mr. Sanchez did not deserve the zoning change as he was not compliant with APN 018-66-145. It was residential zoning, but he was not supposed to have tenants or big animals on the property. He had horses, bison and a dog. Every time the officers came to the property he lied to them saying no one lived on the property and he did not have tenants. Jon Parra and Mark Gancarz all witnessed what was going on there. There were two trailers besides his trailer, one for April 19, 2022 9. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action — — Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation on ZCMP-22-1-Cont’d. his parents and another for his tenant who paid rent and owned the animals. Ms. Zabotkine said Nature Health Farms had tours on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. During that time the neighbors let the horses run around the property with the dog chasing them, which made dust. They also rode a Polaris and tractors to create more dust. She said they supported small business and were not against the competition, but

Mr. Sanchez

needed to comply first before a zone change was considered. Jason Harper said he volunteered at Nature Health Farms and the neighbor piled dirt up against the wall purposely just to dust them out. Mr. Sanchez’s application for this was part of his vendetta against Nature Health Farms as a former employee. He continued to be in violation and the County just let it go on. Mr. Harper noted the motion at the RPC meeting was to approve providing he had not lied on any of his applications or zoning violations. Mr. Harper felt it was past the time for them to stay there legally in recreational vehicles without water or sewer.

Commissioner Carbone

closed the public hearing.

Mr. Osborne

explained that the owner would have to come into compliance with any of the violations that currently existed. This was just a conforming zone change, which the master plan allowed for. It was also the appropriate zoning for that parcel based on the master plan.

Commissioner Strickland

said it was frustrating to have VR-20 zoning on basically five- acre parcels, which were being fixed with conforming zone changes. She appreciated what the RPC’s job was, but felt this property needed to be this zoning.

Commissioner Carbone

felt Code Compliance needed to get out there pretty quick to ensure compliance.

Commissioner Jabbour

understood it was part of the plan. He heard during public comment that Code Enforcement had already been out there with one of the deputies so there must be something documented. He asked if it letters were required to be sent to all of the neighbors in order to be at the RPC meeting and here today.

Mr. Osborne

stated yes. Notices were sent to all property owners within a minimum of 300 feet from the property.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked if any of the residents showed up at the RPC meeting.

Mr. Osborne

said he had no record of that.

Commissioner Carbone

asked what would happen if the Board decided to not move forward with this conforming zone change right now. April 19, 2022 9. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action — — Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation on ZCMP-22-1-Cont’d.

Mr. Osborne

explained the Board could continue the matter and it would come back at a later date. If it was denied, then they could re-apply and go through the process again. Code Compliance Officer Mark Gancarz said he spoke with Mr. Sanchez and explained the issue with the extra RVs on the property. Both were removed and no one else was living on the property. Mr. Sanchez had submitted and was approved for a temporary use permit to have his trailer hooked up there, which included a couple of Conex boxes and some other items allowed on the property. Mr. Sanchez submitted for this zone change and had his plans ready to go to start his home. He would submit all of his documents to Building and Safety as soon as the zone change was done.

Commissioner Blundo

asked if there were two open complaints, one on this property and one on the neighboring property.

Mr. Gancarz

said there was a complaint still open on 401 Bunarch. There was a complaint at 351 Bunarch which had been closed, but they were waiting to finish a couple of things on their property which had nothing to do with the complaint filed.

Commissioner Blundo

said he was concerned there was a business interest that left the first property and ended up on this property. They saw what the other property went through and now they were asking for a conforming zone change. He believed the issue at hand, and what the Board would eventually end up dealing with, was a situation where there would be competing businesses there doing the same thing and the same issues with the wells. Commissioner Blundo was concerned they were already doing things outside of what they were zoned for, such as the horses. He suggested continuing this item until some of the complaints got flushed out. He also did not believe all the facts came out at the RPC.

Mr. Gancarz

believed Mr. Sanchez was in this process to build his single-family residence so he did not have to live in his fifth-wheel any longer.

Commissioner Carbone

feared if something was not done for this person he would not be able to continue building his house.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked Mr. Gancarz if he was aware of the dust factor mentioned during public comment.

Mr. Gancarz

said he was not aware of a dust factor. He knew there were issues of water pouring onto one property from the other. He added there had been dust issues everywhere with the wind lately. AprH 19, 2022 9. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action — — Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation on ZCMP-22-1-Cont’d.

Commissioner Jabbour

said the complaint was between 10:00 am, and 2:00 p.m. and suggested someone visit the property during that time so it could be addressed before the Board went any further.

Commissioner Carbone

suggesting giving Mr. Sanchez some time or put that as part of the issues that needed to be addressed before anything else.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to continue this item for 60 days; seconded by

Commissioner Blundo

felt 60 days would give an opportunity for Planning and Code Compliance to get answers to the questions asked, do more research and get more information. It would also allow Mr. Sanchez the opportunity to come before the Board. MarIa Zlotek advised there were some restrictions in NRS 278 regarding a decision for certain actions by the Board to be done or the decision made within 60 days. A continuation for 60 days may go by that deadline.

Mr. Osborne

believed it was okay if the Board continued it to a specific date within 60 days.

Commissioner Blundo

amended his motion to continue this item to the June 21, 2022, Pahrump meeting; Commissioner Strickland amended her second; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE TOWN OF PAHRUMP 10. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a request to waive the Bob Ruud Community Center use fees totaling $350.00 for Pahrump Valley Times, KPVM TV, and the Nye County Republican Central Committee for the town hall debates for the 2022 Primary Election. This item was removed from the agenda. April 19, 2022 11. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Determine that a public purpose may be served by the acquisition of the real property more particularly described as Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 038-202-20, 038-202-08, 038-191- 24, 041-283-17, and 041 -282-03; 2) Consider the application made to the Board of County Commissioners by the Town of Pahrump for permission to acquire the real property described as Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 038-202-20, 038-202-08, 038- 191-24, 041 -283-17, and 041 -282-03; 3) Adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Resolution No. 2022-15: A Resolution Directing The Transfer Of Nye County Treasurer Trust Property Into Town Of Pahrump Ownership For Public Purposes; and 4) Fund an amount not to exceed $4,462.71 in delinquent tax amount with fundinq source to be determined by the Comptroller. Sam Tackett explained she was working with Jimmy Martinez. Three of the properties were adjacent to the Pahrump arena with the other two near the fairgrounds, and they would be used for continued expansion of those properties for public purposes. The item was written for the Comptroller to determine funding as the fairgrounds had multiple funding sources. Savannah Rucker said the most appropriate funding source would be selected based on where the tax parcel would serve.

Mrs. Tackett

said she had heard from the Treasurer’s Office and none of the parcels had been redeemed. Tom BoIling advised the properties next to the arena were under item 37.

Commissioner Strickland

said those parcels could be removed and the Board could move forward with the other two or the item could be rewritten. MarIa Zlotek advised if the Board moved forward the resolution could be amended and adopted to remove those.

Mrs. Tackett

said parcels 038-202-20, 038-202-08, and 038-191-24 would be removed.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to amend and adopt Nye County Resolution No. 2022-15 removing parcels 038-202-20, 038-202-08, and 038-191-24, fund in an amount not to exceed $4,462.72 in delinquent tax, with the funding source determined by the Comptroller, and it was determined it was a public purpose as the properties were adjacent to the arena; seconded by Commissioner Strickland. John Bosta said the County was acquiring property for the Town of Pahrump and it must be noted it belonged to the town and not the County as the Commissioners were acting as the governing board of the Town of Pahrump. In Amargosa the County was claiming property that belonged to the town. April 19, 2022 11. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Determine that a public purpose may be served by the acquisition of the real property more particularly described as Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 038-202-20, 038-202-08, 038-191- 24, 041-283-17, and 041-282-03; 2) Consider the application made to the Board of County Commissioners by the Town of Pahrump for permission to acquire the real property described as Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 038-202-20, 038-202-08, 038- 191 -24, 041 -283-17, and 041 -282-03; 3) Adopt, amend and adopt, or relect Nye County Resolution No. 2022-1 5: A Resolution Directing The Transfer Of Nye County Treasurer Trust Property Into Town Of Pahrump Ownership For Public Purposes; and 4) Fund an amount not to exceed $4,462.71 in delinquent tax amount with funding source to be determined by the Comptroller-Cont’d. Tim Sutton noted part 3 of the resolution stated it was being transferred into Town of Pahrump ownership.

Commissioner Strickland

For Possible Action Approval to set the date and location for the second Board of Commissioners meeting in July for Tuesday, July 19, 2022, in Pahrump, NV.

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Blundo; 5 yeas. The Board was in recess until 1:45 p.m. Chris Arabia was not present. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 15.

This item was removed from the agenda. 21. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt or reiect Nye County Resolution No. 2022-11: A Resolution Discouraging the Metering of Private Domestic Wells in Nye County. Pat Minshall did not think it should state Nye County. If people wanted to do it in Pahrump fine, but it should go town by town. John Bosta hoped the Board adopted the resolution. He did not want a meter on his well as he did not feel the State Engineer had the authority to do that. Helene Williams from the Private Well Owners Association said they always stood strong in the opposition of meters on wells. She did not know why this item was on the agenda and thought down the road there may be an appropriate time for this to happen. Unfortunately, wells were required to have meters on them under the Nevada State Engineer’s ruling that had not gone into effect yet, but it was sitting there.

Commissioner Strickland

disclosed she was a well drilling contractor, but she had no pecuniary interest in this item.

Commissioner Carbone

noted the item talked to private domestic wells in Nye County, but the 11,000 private wells were just in Pahrump and Basin 162. He suggested putting this off so it contained the proper information especially since it only covered Basin 162. Another suggestion he made was to adopt it only for domestic wells in Basin 162.

Commissioner Strickland

explained when water rights were purchased to create a domestic well the letter from the State Engineer to be recorded said that at any time they could deem it necessary to put a meter on the well and only 500 gallons per day could be used. There was also a law that meters could be installed if a county was in critical water management for 10 years. John Bosta asked the Board to consider that the State Engineer had Order 1330 for Amargosa Valley. The State Engineer would hold a meeting sometime in May, 2022, in Amargosa concerning the water in Amargosa Valley and Devil’s Hole. Mr. Bosta felt the resolution should be for the whole County, not just Pahrump. April 19, 2022 21. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt or reject Nye County Resolution No. 2022-11: A Resolution Discouraging the Metering of Private Domestic Wells in Nye County-Cont’d.

Commissioner Carbone

said the way it was partially written narrowed it down to Basin 162. If the other basins needed to be included then other resolutions were needed or this one needed to be revised.

Commissioner Strickland

asked Commissioner Blundo what he felt the resolution was capable of doing.

Commissioner Blundo

said in his opinion it firmly planted the County’s feet and articulated how the County felt about the situation. The Board did not want to see domestic wells metered in Nye County.

Commissioner Strickland

said she was trying to see the benefit of a resolution over a letter to the State Engineer asking him to meet with the Commissioners to discuss the items.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to amend and adopt Nye County Resolution No. 2022-1 1 with the following changes: in line 2 at the end of the line reading a resolution discouraging the metering of private domestic wells in Nye County, insert Pahrump Basin 162, and in line 7 insert Pahrump Basin 162 after Nye County; seconded by

Commissioner Cox

asked why the resolution discouraged the metering instead of reading the people did not want any meters on their wells.

Commissioner Blundo

asked Michelle Nelson to answer that question as the original resolution said prohibit.

Ms. Nelson

explained it was changed to discouraging because under NRS the State Engineer controlled the metering of wells so the County did not have that authority.

Commissioner Cox

felt it should be researched to see if the State Engineer really had that authority.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Blundo; 4 yeas. Commissioner Cox voted nay as she felt it was about Agenda 21. CLERK 23. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Appoint one member to the Amargosa Valley Town Board due to a resignation from the following list of applicants: Mike Cottingim and Brenda Dymond; or 2) Readvertise for the appointment.

Commissioner Jabbour

made a motion to appoint Mike Cottingim; seconded by

Commissioner Blundo

. Mike Cottingim was present to answer questions.

Commissioner Jabbour

amended his motion to appoint Mike Cottingim to a term ending January, 2025; Commissioner Blundo amended his second; 5 yeas. 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Appoint two members to the Smoky Valley Library District due to two terms expiring from the following list of applicants: Sara Keehfuss and Sara Sweeney; or 2) Readvertise for the appointment.

Commissioner Jabbour

made a motion to appoint to the Smoky Valley Library District Sara Keehfuss and Sara Sweeney to the terms to end May, 2026; seconded by

Commissioner Strickland

; 5 yeas. 25. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Appoint seven members to the Nye County Water District due to seven vacancies from the following list of applicants: Louis Baker, Edwin Goedhart, Bruce Holden, Michael Lach, Ammie Nelson, Eddie Williams, and Helene Williams; or 2) Readvertise for the appointments.

Commissioner Jabbour

disclosed he had a professional working relationship with Michael Lach, but he would still participate in the item.

Commissioner Strickland

disclosed she worked with Mr. Lach and Ed Goedhardt, but she had no pecuniary interest. She was also a well drilling contractor.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to appoint applicant Michael Lach to the At Large category to the term expiring June 30, 2022. April 19, 2022 25. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Appoint seven members to the Nye County Water District due to seven vacancies from the following list of applicants: Louis Baker, Edwin Goedhart, Bruce Holden, Michael Lach, Ammie Nelson, Eddie Williams, and Helene Williams; or 2) Readvertise for the appointments-Cont’d.

Commissioner Carbone

pointed out Mr. Lach was listed under Area 2.

Commissioner Strickland

said that was an error. Item 5 was one resident of Nye County other than the Pahrump Valley Area, Public at Large. Mr. Lach sat on the water board before, and he had residences in both Pahrump and Tonopah, so Commissioner Strickland felt someone could be placed in that position at this time. Tim Sutton advised according to the representations made by the applicant that he had residences in both areas the Board could make that appointment.

Commissioner Strickland

restated her motion to appoint Michael Lach to the Nye County Other Than Pahrump Area Public at Large position that expired June 30, 2022; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour. John Bosta noticed there was no one from Amargosa Valley. It seemed to him that if the Board wanted to put Mr. Goedhardt on the water board he would have to be the Public at Large representative since he listed his residence as Pahrump only. Tim Bohannon asked if the Board knew where this was going because that may impact the appointments. Herman Lewis said he supported Helene Williams and Mr. Goedhardt as well as Mr. Lach.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to appoint Edward Goedhardt, Helene Williams and Bruce Holden to the term expiring June 30, 2022, for the area of Nye County known as Pahrump Valley Area 4; seconded by Commissioner Blundo. Samantha Tackett advised she spoke with Mr. Goedhardt directly and he intended to apply for the Amargosa area. He was not aware he had to re-submit, but that was his intention this round.

Commissioner Strickland

withdrew her motion; Commissioner Blundo withdrew his second.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to appoint Ed Goedhardt in Amargosa Valley Area 3; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour. April 19, 2022 25. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Appoint seven members to the Nye County Water District due to seven vacancies from the following list of applicants: Louis Baker, Edwin Goedhart, Bruce Holden, Michael Lach, Ammie Nelson, Eddie Williams, and Helene Williams; or 2) Readvertise for the appointments-Cont’d.

Commissioner Blundo

added it was for the term ending June 30, 2023. Paula Ayers asked about the two month terms.

Commissioner Carbone

explained because that was the end of the terms of the prior people on the water board. This item would come back in a couple of months. Herman Lewis said he supported Mr. Goedhardt and thought the Board was doing the right thing.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion for the Pahrump Valley Area 4 with a term expiring June 30, 2022, to appoint Bruce Holden and Helene Williams; seconded by

Commissioner Jabbour

. Herman Lewis said he supported Ms. Williams, but he had an issue with Mr. Holden.

Mr. Lewis

spoke to him at the last meeting regarding this issue. He tried to get Mr. Holden up to speed to come to the Commissioners to introduce himself and he was not interested. When Mr. Lewis suggested he call in, Mr. Holden also seemed completely uninterested. Mr. Lewis felt the resume did not match the person he spoke with. Mr. Holden knew nothing about the water in the valley, the Shaw report, or testing. Mr. Holden said he would just learn on the job and figure it out. Mr. Lewis asked that Mr. Holden be re-evaluated in June. Helene Williams said the water board would have to have County staff to help through the process of the first agenda and hiring staff. She hoped staff would be available.

Commissioner Cox

noted that Eddie Williams’ resume indicated he had been on a water board for two years where he came from. He also had more experience than anyone else who applied other than Ms. Williams, and Mr. Holden had no experience.

Commissioner Strickland

stated Mr. Holden’s extensive background was incredible and she would like to have the opportunity to see what he had to offer.

Commissioner Jabbour

made a motion to ratify the decision and execute the contract in an amount not to exceed $112,608.00; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 5 yeas. FINANCE 30. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Review the staffing pattern options for the Animal shelter; 2) Select a staffing pattern based on the options presented; 3) Approve the positions to be filled; 4) Set an effective fill date for new positions; 5) Set the services and supply budget for FY22; and 6) Fund the Animal shelter in FY22 75% from the Nye County General Fund-Health Function (10101-60) and 25% from Town of Pahrump General Fund-Health Function (25101-60). Savannah Rucker said there were options in the back-up for the Board to discuss, but this was not a budget item. This was direction to staff as to which way the Board wanted to go and she would bring back an item for FY22. She discussed the three options in the back-up, all of which would exceed the contract with Desert Haven in the facility they were in right now.

Commissioner Blundo

asked what the expected fill date was.

Mrs. Rucker

said that was for the Board to determine.

Commissioner Carbone

advised they had to be there and in place by June 30, 2022.

Commissioner Strickland

suggested starting the intake between June 1, 2022, and June 30, 2022, then move animals after the contract expired.

Commissioner Carbone

said people still needed to be trained. He did not think everything could be moved on June 1, 2022, because the current shelter still needed to operate with the equipment. He had asked to pre-order a few things to help with the transition.

Mrs. Rucker

advised there were collective bargaining agreements that required a 10- day posting of a position. The fill date could be as soon as possible and then the motions gone through. April 19, 2022 30. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Review the staffing pattern options for the Animal shelter; 2) Select a staffing pattern based on the options presented; 3) Approve the positions to be filled; 4) Set an effective fill date for new positions; 5) Set the services and supply budget for FY22; and 6) Fund the Animal shelter in FY22 75% from the Nye County General Fund-Health Function (10101 -60) and 25% from Town of Pahrump General Fund-Health Function (25101-60)-Cont’d.

Commissioner Carbone

suggested on or before June 30, 2022, which Mrs. Rucker said would work.

Commissioner Blundo

suggested on or before May 1, 2022, but Mrs. Rucker advised that was not enough time.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to approve staffing pattern two, approve the positions to be filled effective on or before June 1, 2022, set the services and supply budget as presented in the back-up for FY22, and fund the animal shelter for FY22 75% from the Nye County General Fund Health Function 10101-60 and 25% from the Town of Pahrump Health Function 25101-60; seconded by Commissioner Strickland. Elizabeth Kakavulias noted the Commissioners wanted to believe the decision to bring the animal shelter under the control of the Sheriff’s Office was a recent decision, which was false. In actuality what occurred was the Commissioners decided years ago that it would be beneficial for the citizens of the County if the County took it over. No meetings were held to discuss the cost of service analysis and where the public could voice their opinion. Here the Commissioners were talking about having six employees for a facility two times bigger than the one in existence now, and those employees would not be there every day. Ms. Kakavulias was curious as to how the Commissioners felt that would be beneficial to the animals or the County. Herman Lewis said he had been watching the animal shelter situation for years and had always been a supporter. What concerned him was there was so much personal vitriol going on between everyone. The people who really cared for the animals at Desert Haven now volunteered at the new shelter. Mr. Lewis asked the Commissioners to hire a professional shelter manager.

Commissioner Strickland

asked what the amount was for option two.

Mrs. Rucker

said it was $353,000.00 for the entire fiscal year. That would be prorated for salaries and benefits, and the services and supplies would need seed funding to set up the facility.

Commissioner Cox

asked how much the town would put in.

Mrs. Rucker

said about $85,000.00. April 19, 2022 30. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Review the staffing pattern options for the Animal shelter; 2) Select a staffing pattern based on the options presented; 3) Approve the positions to be filled; 4) Set an effective fill date for new positions; 5) Set the services and supply budget for FY22; and 6) Fund the Animal shelter in FY22 75% from the Nye County General Fund-Health Function (10101 -60) and 25% from Town of Pahrump General Fund-Health Function (25101 -60)-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox

stated she wanted the shelter to stay under the control of the Commissioners, not Animal Control, so things would have to come before the Commissioners to be approved. She asked if it was going under the Sheriff’s Office.

Commissioner Blundo

suggested Commissioner Cox bring that up under Commissioners/Manager’s comments at the end as it was a little off the agenda item.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to approve, execute and fund from 10340 Grants; seconded by Commissioner Strickland. Ed Kelly, representing Nye Communities Coalition, was present to answer any questions.

Commissioner Jabbour

made a motion to approve as written and execute; seconded by

For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Resolution No. 2022-14: A Resolution to Augment and Amend the 2021 -2022 Budget of Nye County, State of Nevada. 10209 Airport Fund $191,973.00 10254 Building Department Fund $610,000.00 Savannah Rucker explained the Airport Fund 10209 required a public hearing, so that would need to be stricken from the resolution if the Board approved it. The reason for the augment for the Building Department Fund was because more permits were being written generating more revenue and increasing the payment to the company that managed that process.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to amend and adopt Nye County Resolution No. 2022-14 striking the Airport Fund in the amount of $191,973.00 and any other mention of the Airport Fund; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour; 5 yeas.

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Blundo; 5 yeas. 35. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Discuss the bid proposal received for Bid No. 2022-03 Amargosa Farm Road Paving; 2) Award Bid No. 2022-03 Amargosa Farm Road Paving to Las Vegas Paving Corporation in the amount of $491,000.00 or Wulfenstein Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $399,348.75; 3) Approve, amend and approve or relect the contract with selected bidder; 4) Fund from 10205 Road; or 5) Reject bid and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with the project.

Commissioner Blundo

asked Tom Boiling to address the concerns about grading and sloping.

Mr. BoIling

explained the grading was done in-house. The existing pavement was pulverized, ground in and mixed in with the native. The road was being reshaped, type II would be put on top, it would be paved, and then it would all be compacted.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to award the Bid No. 2022-03, Amargosa Farm Road Paving, to Wulfenstein Construction Company in the amount of $399,348.75, approve the contract with that bidder, and fund from 10205 Roads; seconded by

Commissioner Jabbour

; 5 yeas. April 19, 2022 36. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Discuss the bid solicitation for Bid No. 2022-06 Tan Way Pahrump Sewer and Water Lines Extension; and 2) Provide direction to staff on how to proceed with the project. Tom Boiling advised originally Buildings & Grounds bid this work out for the sewer and water line extensions. All bids came back over $100,000.00, so it had to be out for the procurement process and formal bids. It was advertised for 21 days, pre-bid meetings were done, and when it came time to open the bids there were no bids received. Mr. Boiling believed the lowest contractor out of the original bids could be chosen. Maria Ziotek noted the back-up showed two bids were received. Purchasing and Contracts Administrator Honey Strozzi said if it stated two bids were received then that was incorrect. A notice of no bids received was placed back in the paper and nothing had been received as of yet.

Mr. Bolting

said they were asking if they could revert to the original bids that were submitted since no bids were received in the formal bidding process.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to direct staff to go back to the original bidders; seconded by Commissioner Blundo.

Ms. Ziotek

advised the Commissioners to always cite to the NRS that provided that authority otherwise give her five minutes to look it up.

Commissioner Blundo

read NRS 338.1385, which allowed a public body to let contracts without competitive bidding if no bids were received in response to advertising for bids required as described in Bid No. 2022-06, Tan Way Pahrump Sewer and Water Lines Extension, without further bidding not less than seven days of publication of this notice. He said the project was budgeted in the amount of $348,000.00.

Mrs. Strozzi

asked if the contract could be executed by the County Manager without bringing it back to the Board.

Commissioner Carbone

thought based on the motion that everything should be okay. Tim Sutton confirmed the NRS allowed for that. The formal bidding process was done and no responses were received, which triggered that NRS.

38. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt,

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to adopt; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Jabbour

said the Pahrump Valley Museum’s 3Qth anniversary event would be on Saturday, April 23, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. He then reminded everyone to spay and neuter their pets.

Commissioner Cox

asked who the shelter reported to.

Commissioner Carbone

responded the Sheriff.

Commissioner Cox

hoped it was that way because she did not want it to report to the Animal Control officers.

Sheriff Wehrly

advised Animal Control would continue to work as they did before and were not taking over the shelter. Tom Boiling reminded the candidates that their signs needed to follow Code when installed and no signs were allowed in the NDOT rights-of-way. NDOT was on top of it this year as he had already gotten phone calls.

Commissioner Carbone

asked for a follow-up on the water sample that was asked for on the nuisance agenda item.

Commissioner Blundo

stressed the Commissioners did not support a kill shelter and asked people to come with solutions rather than point fingers. ______________day April 19, 2022

The judge approved the audit. After reading a lawsuit that could prove fraudulent ballots and other irregularities led to Joe Biden’s 2020 win in Georgia, the Democrat controlled Fulton County didn’t attempt to provide information. Instead they immediately hired criminal defense attorneys to fight the lawsuit, resulting in a temporary block of the audit. But it was too late. The Georgia Star News, through the Open Records process, had been investigating them since at least December. - ,.‘ * --E Suddenly, Raffensperger turned on Fulton County election officials. “New revelations that Fulton County is unable to produce all ballot drop box transfer documents will be investigated thoroughly, as we have with other counties that failed to follow Georgia rules and regulations regarding drop boxes. This cannot continue,” Raffensperger tweeted Monday. “Restoring confidence in our elections is going to be impossible as long as Fulton County’s elections leadership continues to fail the voters of Fulton County and the voters of Georgia. They need new leadership to step up and take charge,” he wrote. https:llcleverjoumeys.com/202111 2105/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 5/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys Georgia attorney Lin Wood post Raffensperger was humiliated and essentially caught when Laura Baigert of The Georgia Star News reported that a Fulton County election official admitted (https://www.westernjournaI.com/ga-eIection-officiaI-admitschain custody-docs-missing-2020-election-absentee-ballots-report/) “a few forms are missing” and that “some procedural paperwork may have been misplaced .“ It wasn’t “a few:’ An analysis revealed the number of ballots in question exceeds Biden’s margin of victory of 11,779 votes (0.24 percent) over former President Donald Trump.

Judge Amero learned in May from attorney Bob Cheeley that Fulton County Registration Chief Ralph Jones, during a pre-trial deposition, estimated the county printed 20,000 absentee ballots through “a vendor” in the 10 days leading up to the election. Cheeley also told the judge that Jones could not provide how many absentee ballots were printed or whether any of the ballots were left over. Later, there was a massive Fulton County order of over 1 million absentee/by mail ballots (https://uncoverdc.com/2021/1O/25/fulton-county- massive-Iast-minute-order-of-over-lm-ballots-discovered/). The explanation given by the Georgia Secretary of State Elections Coordinator, Gabriel Sterling was deficient for several reasons: • Sterling claimed that the ballots were ordered to serve as a “backup plan” in case the machines couldn’t be properly logic and accuracy tested before the election, as required by Georgia law. That couldn’t have been the reason because the ballots were ordered after early voting had already begun when the machines were already being used. https://cleverjourneys.com/202 1/1 2/05/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-seMces/ 7/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys • The Fulton County voting machines (https://uncoverdc.com/202 1/11/10/exclusive-majority-of-earty-voting-in-fu Iton’-county done-on-untested-machines!) were not logic and accuracy tested before the start of early voting, but the county proceeded to use the untested machines anyway.

When Fulton County, Ga., poli manager Suzi Voyles sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November, she noticed an alarmingly odd pattern of uniformity in the markings for Joseph R. Biden. One after another, the absentee votes https://cleverjoumeys.com/2021 /1 2/05/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 14/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys contained perfectly filled-in ovals for Biden except that each — of the darkened bubbles featured an identical white void inside them in the shape of a tiny crescent, indicating they’d been marked with toner ink instead of a pen or pencil. Adding to suspicions, she noticed that all of the ballots were printed on different stock paper than the others she handled as part of a statewide hand recount of the razor-thin Nov. 3 presidential election. And none was folded or creased, as she typically observed in mail-in ballots that had been removed from envelopes. In short, the Biden votes looked like they’d been duplicated by a copying machine. “All of them were strangely pristine,” said Voyles, who said she’d never seen anything like it in her 20 years monitoring elections in Fulton County, which includes much of Atlanta. https://cleverjoumeys.com/202111 2lO5lcommon-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 15/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys https://cleverjourneys.com/2021 /1 2/05/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 16/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys More poll workers in Fulton County swore in affidavits that they also observed fake-looking ballots in stacks of absentee ballots for Biden. Robin Hall, a certified Fulton County recount observer, also testified she witnessed a number of boxes of absentee ballots marked “100% for Biden” that appeared to be “perfectly filled out as if they were pre-printed with the presidential candidate selected.” She stated: ‘They did not look like a person had filled this out at home. All of them looked alike.” LABEL OTHER 0TH END EN Judy Aube also worked at the World Congress Center on Nov. 14 where she observed the same thing: “suspicious batches” of mail-in ballots for Biden whose markings appeared identical, as if they had been duplicated by a machine and not filled out by a voter at home. Barbara Hartman, another election official auditor, also doubted the authenticity of absentee ballots she handled that she said were never folded, as would normally be the case for ballots returned in an envelope by mail or dropped in a box. “The https://cleverjourneys.com/2021/1 2/05/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 17/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys absentee ballots looked as though they had just come from a fresh stack,” she swore in her affidavit. “I could not observe any creases in the ballots and [it] did not seem like they were folded and put into envelopes or mailed out.” Also, ‘The majority of the mail-in ballots that I reviewed contained suspicious black perfectly bubbled markings for Biden,’ Hartman stated, adding that “they looked as if they were stamped.’ Observers and follow up investigations noted that bar coding was missing from those ballots. Prominent Information Technology specialist Javon Pulitzer testified that Fulton County ballots in the general election for GOP precincts included a barcode while the ballots in Democrat districts did not include the barcode. The ballots shipped by Runbeck, were said to be already in the envelopes and were actually printed differently depending on the political leanings of the precincts. RCI also reported: Carlos E. Silva, for one, declared in a Nov. 17 affidavit that he observed a similar “perfect black bubble” in absentee ballots for Biden during the recount he worked in DeKaib County. And while overseeing the Cobb County recount, he swore he “observed https://cleverjourneys.com/2021 /1 2/05/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 18/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys absentee ballots being reviewed with the same perfect bubble that I had seen the night before in DeKaIb. All of these ballots had the same characteristics: they were all for Biden and had the same perfect bubble.” Added Silva, a registered Democrat: “There were thousands of [mail-in] ballots that just had the perfect bubble marked for Biden and no other markings in the rest of the ballot.’ Another registered Democrat, Mayra Romera, testified that while monitoring the Cobb County recount, she noticed that “hundreds of these ballots seemed impeccable, with no folds or creases. The bubble selections were perfectly made ... and all happened to be selections for Biden.” According to Georgia Secretary of State records, “Run beck Election Services, Inc. is a Georgia Foreign Profit Corporation filed On April 6, 2020. The company’s filing status is listed as Active/Owes Current Year Ar and its File Number is 20049030...The company has 2 principals on record.

Within two months, for the June 9, 2020 election primaries of Georgia, their Secretary of State Raffensperger coordinated a deal with Runbeck Election Services who “partnered with Dominion Voting and the state of Georgia to send out more than one million absentee ballots.” • During the 2016 general primary, only 37,000 absentee ballots were submitted by mail. 200,000 were submitted for the November 2016 general election, just one fifth of the total had on the June 9 election date. • The surge was a result of Raffensperger’s office sending absentee ballot request forms to all of Georgia’s 6.9 million active voters. \L1UNJT OUR Vcq5 https://cleverjourneys.com/2021 /1 2/05/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 20/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys • Raffensperger’s own press release revealed, ‘instead of leaving the sending of absentee ballot request forms to local elections offices or third party organizations, the Secretary of State’s office took on that responsibility, coordinating with experienced state vendors for the printing and mailing of the request forms.” “The Secretary of State’s office also contracted with outside mail vendors for the fulfillment of the absentee ballot requests, including the provision of processing equipment and printing and mailing ballots, to take that burden off of local elections officials.” • “The Secretary of State is providing millions of dollars in grants to local elections offices for sanitation equipment, elections infrastructure, and other voting needs. One grant in particular is dedicated to equipment like drop boxes, which will make it easier for voters to return their absentee ballots and for local elections offices to accept them.” One obvious question is why would Kevin Runbeck want a patent to generate revised ballots? I could understand revising ballots if candidates, dates, locations change prior to an election event and printing of ballots, but how would this prevent tampering, prefilled vote choices and fraud? https://cleveijourneys.com!2021/1 2105/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 2 1/30 4/19/22, 7:27 AM Common Denominator in Arizona and Georgia Election Scandals is Runbeck Services — Clever Journeys U.S. patent appllcation number 16/377016 was fied with the patent office on 2019-10-10 for ba/lot duplication system and methods thereof.

Runbeck is reliant as a partner, not a vendor; their competence helps them identify issues before they become an issue.

During the hearing on November 30, 2020, Bryant testified under oath that not even county IT staff were allowed access to the machines. Bryant witnessed Dominion employees with a laptop computer in the counting room during the six days she worked at the Maricopa County Election Center. During questioning by Republican state Rep. Mark Finchem, Bryant said there were daily election ballot deliveries to the center by Runbeck Election Services. According to witness testimony, these deliveries happened from Nov. 3 to at least Nov. 10. https://cleverjourneys.com/202 1/1 2/05/common-denominator-in-arizona-and-georgia-election-scandals-is-runbeck-services/ 24/30 Jovan Hutton Pulitzer Memo To: Mark Brnovitch — Attorney General Arizona From: Jovan Hutton Pulitzer cc: All Involved Parties and Reports Date: 03/18/22 Re: RECCOMENDED SUBPEONA LIST and INFORMATION REQUEST Attorney General Brnovitch the following is our recommended subpoena list needed to complete the Maricopa County, Arizona 2020 General Election Audit.
