Mr. Garcia

felt his and his son’s freedom of speech was being denied. He then played a video of himself being arrested at a School Board meeting. Priscilla Lane said some people were shooting horses and burros with paint balls and pellet guns. If anyone saw it happening, they should contact the Sheriff and report the location. She said she was trying to put together some people that wanted to put their two cents in for a solution to help manage the horses better than the BLM. Anyone interested should contact her at (775) 727-5325. Darrell Lackey said he was told his picture was in the paper, which was a picture from when he ran for Treasurer in 2010. He thought the current Clerk chose the picture. Additionally, the Pahrump Valley Times sent him a questionnaire, which he sent back, but they did not publish any of his answers. Diane Southworth stated Jim Marchant was the only one who did not fill out his campaign finance report on time and asked if that was someone people wanted to run the Secretary of State’s Office. She also did not believe the legislators in the State or U.S. Congress should be making rules about women’s rights and abortion. Sheree Stringer, speaking on behalf of Chapter 5300 of the Rotary, said they had a great time at the Calvada Eye doing the trick or trunk. She thanked the Commissioners for allowing them to hold that there and hoped to do it again next year. Tim Bohannon said he thought of November as the month of Thanksgiving. As the Board moved through the agenda today he wanted everyone to be thankful for the ability to speak and that there was a Commission and staff focused on doing good work. Daniel Weeks, General Manager of the Nye County Water District (NCWD), said on Friday a report came out in the community from DRI about arsenic in rural water and rural water wells. He clarified the data was from up north, but the way it was presented created a scare in the community. The water district was monitoring the water and there was no crisis with arsenic in the groundwater. All groundwater contained some trace elements, but if someone was concerned about their water quality they could call the water district and pay for a test of their well. They would present on their Web site the results of this report and they would also generate it in the future so that people could be reassured that there was not a crisis in the valley. Rachel Leddy, Community Nurse with Nye Communities Coalition, introduced Kevin Tukes. Kevin Tukes said he was new to the community. He was a licensed cosmetologist as well as a personal trainer, and he wanted to volunteer his services to battered women to November 1, 2022 2. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT (up to three-minute time limit per person.) Action will not be taken on the matters considered during this period until specifically included on an agenda as an action item (first)-Cont’d. teach them how to protect themselves. He also wanted to help the homeless with hair cuts and rehabilitation. He hoped he could get help with providing those services to people.

Ms. Leddy

said Mr. Tukes provided haircuts for the homeless wrap around events. The next one would be December 16, 2022, and they were planning a fundraiser so they just wanted to mention it. Individuals who were interested could contact her at Nye Communities Coalition.

Commissioner Blundo

thanked Dan Weeks for the update and wondered if he had information in the future if he should speak under Commissioners/Manager’s comments. Commissioner Blundo then said no one was trying to stymy anybody’s Constitutional rights, but the public comment needed to follow the guidelines. He wanted to keep public comment to things this governing body had authority over as well as current events.

Commissioner Cox

also addressed the water issues. She saw the article and started searching for the locations. There was arsenic in the water up north because there was an extreme amount of open pit mining. She would like to see a program for water testing in the area to look for other elements. Commissioner Cox hoped Kevin Tukes would stay and keep doing what he was doing since there were so many people who could use that type of service. She suggested he investigate providing portable showers for people in the different locations.

Commissioner Jabbour

said this past weekend was the Beatty Days event and many of the residents from throughout the County were there. He thanked everyone who was part of and participated in the event. He mentioned the Balloon Festival was coming up in a couple of weeks in Pahrump as well as the annual Powwow. Mark Kampf provided an update on the paper process at the polls. The paper ballots were balanced to the registrations every single day and the process was going smoothly. He believed that on Election Day the office would be well prepared. He advised he submitted a revised hand count procedure to the Nevada Secretary of State that involved counting the ballots in silence and he was waiting for a response.

Commissioner Carbone

thought the public comments needed to be controlled a little more and hoped the rest of the community would help support that. November 1, 2022

Commissioner Blundo

questioned if the State would make any contribution to NRHA.

Ms. Arvizo

said yes, but that it would be restricted to down payment assistance only. There would be no flexibility and it would be a fixed amount.

Commissioner Cox

asked if the program would also include Pahrump.

Ms. Arvizo

responded yes and said it was specific to every inch of Nye County.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked if the $400,000.00 was earmarked for the program so they could move forward. He also asked for clarification on the amendment Ms. Arvizo was seeking.

Ms. Arvizo

clarified she was requesting an amendment to allow flexibility through the duration of the program. The market shifted rapidly and there would be no time for an amendment down the road. The proposal was $16,000.00 because the State program November 1, 2022 26. For Possible Action Presentation, discussion and deliberation to approve, amend and approve, or reject the program funding request from Nevada Rural Housing Authority under the Nye County ARPA Recovery Plan and Policy: Public Health Assistance-Affordable Housing Grants in the amount of $400,000.00- Cont’d. was going to be $15,000.00, but that was now going tO be $20,000.00, and they could not buy down the rate on the State program.

Commissioner Carbone

wondered if they were moving too fast on the amendment based on the trends today and prices going up. He asked how they would spread the funds across the whole County and if the lenders would be located in Nye County. He also wanted a list of the people they would be dealing with.

Ms. Arvizo

believed the right thing to do was to take time and think things through, but to pivot quickly they had to look at where the gap was in NRHA. They also did their best to determine where the demand was. Most of the lenders were located in Nye County and she would provide a list.

Commissioner Strickland

asked for reporting as the funds were depleted. She then asked how quickly this program would be able to get out and help and how long did Ms. Arvizo think the funds would last.

Ms. Arvizo

anticipated this would take NRHA well into 2023 based on the forecasting.

Commissioner Carbone

asked Ms. Elliott and the District Attorney’s Office if the Board had the ability to make the change that was offered.

Ms. Elliott

explained the agenda item was written to approve, amend and approve or reject.

Ms. Nelson

agreed that the Board had the discretion to amend and approve.

Ms. Elliott

recommended some sort of formal amendment as her proposal specifically stated $16,000.00.

Commissioner Blundo

wanted to know what the specific amendment was.

Ms. Arvizo

said it was adjusting the down payment assistance to a higher or lower amount and to buy down the interest rate.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to adjust the down payment assistance to a higher or lower amount and to buy down the interest rate.

Ms. Arvizo

advised they would provide a written report to the County on a quarterly basis. November 1, 2022 26. For Possible Action Presentation, discussion and deliberation to approve, amend and approve, or reject the program funding request from Nevada Rural Housing Authority under the Nye County ARPA Recovery Plan and Policy: Public Health Assistance-Affordable Housing Grants in the amount of $400,000.00- Cont’d.

Commissioner Strickland

withdrew her motion.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to amend and approve granting the flexibility for the down payment and allowing the opportunity to spend the funding for the rate buy down up to $400,000.00.00; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked if the money was earmarked for this program.

Ms. Elliott

said yes and referred to the back-up which showed the funding allocation done previously.

Commissioner Strickland

disclosed she was a licensed real estate broker and had clients participate in this program in the past and may have some in the future, but she had no pecuniary interest in this item. COUNTY MANAGER 23. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve, amend and approve or reject a Property Access Agreement with Pythom Inc. for a portion of property located at the Tonopah Airport for the purpose of creating single-engine test firings at the Tonopah airport and surrounding industrial area. The term of the Agreement is five years. Revenues will be deposited into Fund 10209 Airport. Jamie Hadden, an engineer with Pythom, said they looked far and wide for property and the best one they found was at the Tonopah Airport. He asked for three amendments. Part 4 of the agreement stated $250.00 per acre per month and he asked to either have that be $250.00 per month for the entire five-acre site or have it delineated by acre and they would lease one acre.

Commissioner Carbone

felt $250.00 was cheap and if they could not afford that then it would be only one acre.

Mr. Hadden

said that was suitable for their purposes. The second amendment pertained to termination rights. Presently the County was granted unilateral termination immediately without necessary cause, but Pythom was not offered any termination rights. Mr. Hadden asked that those rights be given to the company as well. November 1, 2022 23. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve, amend and approve or reiect a Property Access Agreement with Pythom Inc. for a portion of property located at the Tonopah Airport for the purpose of creating single-engine test firings at the Tonopah airport and surrounding industrial area. The term of the Agreement is five years. Revenues will be deposited into Fund 10209 Airport Cont’d.

Commissioner Strickland

suggested changing it to either party could terminate this agreement at any time for any reason.

Mr. Hadden

advised the final amendment was to change nine-engine to multi-engine test in part 1 of the contract.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to amend the contract to read: in paragraph 1, operations to include multi-engine full stage testing; on page 3, item 4, to read $250.00 for one acre of use; and on page 4, section 12, strike the first four words and insert “either party may terminate this agreement;’ seconded by Commissioner Blundo. Horace Carlyle did not see any safeguards for the environment and wondered if it would further compromise development at the airport. Planning Director Brett Waggoner wondered if the County leased one acre at $250.00 per month how much that would impede the ability for other potential leases for the rest of the property. Another concern was if the fire department in Tonopah was equipped for this type of operation should anything go wrong.

Mr. Hadden

stated Pythom was not a revenue center for the County. The question was whether the Board wanted to have a rocket facility at the airport. Mark Kampf was not present.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked that a copy of the approval letter from the Town of Tonopah be provided for the record. Michael Lach questioned why they did not do it in Bishop where there was an airport. Pat Minshall stated that it sounded like a low payment per month, but she did not understand how the Board could go forward before getting information from the fire department that they could handle any problem.

Commissioner Carbone

stated he was not going forward with the show cause. Licensees not being on time with payments was something staff had been looking at for several years. He stressed to the licensees the need to be sure in the future because the next time there would be a show cause hearing and they may lose their County license. He asked how they would remedy the issue. Janet Jensen and Valerie Small were present. Ms. Jensen said she would not give excuses as to why it happened, but she would step up and take over the finances.

Ms. Small

agreed that Ms. Jensen would be coming in.

Commissioner Carbone

stated they could not have this behavior any longer and they had been warned.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 5 yeas. The Board was in recess until 1:30 p.m. TIMED ITEMS 7. 10:00 am. Presentation by Contracts and Grants Manager Stephani Elliott regarding the Grant Funds awarded to Nye County during first quarter of Fiscal Year 2023. Stephani Elliott provided an update on the grants the County had received since July 1, 2022, through September 30, 2022, totaling over $1 .5 million, which did not include the ARPA second tranche of $4.5 million. She also discussed the Fiscal Year 2023 submitted grant applications as well as pending grant funding totaling $13 million that was coming.

Commissioner Jabbour

referred to the pending application for the Gabbs water/sewer system and asked how much was applied for.

Ms. Elliott

said the amount was still pending as it was in the initial phases. The letter of interest was submitted, and the application was being submitted, but the numbers had not been communicated to them yet. 10. 10:00 am. Continued Public Hearing Discussion, and deliberation on — — ZCMP-22-1 1: An application for a (Conforming) Zone Change to change one parcel totaling approximately 1.9 acres from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to Commercial Manufacturing (CM) on property located at 771 W. Mesquite Avenue, Pahrump, NV. Assessor’s Parcel Number 035-091-09. Michael Selbach and Jason Gettle Property Owners/Applicants.

Commissioner Carbone

opened and closed the public hearing. Brett Waggoner explained when this item was before the Board previously a question came up about whether it ever had a legally operating auto repair facility on it. There was a business by the name of Spring Mountain Auto and Air, which was licensed in Pahrump in 1994, prior to any kind of zoning ordinances, and it remained licensed until June 28, 2019. Mr. Waggoner believed it was licensed with the DMV until 2018 and with the State the company was dissolved in May, 2020. There was another question November 1, 2022 10. 10:00 am. Continued Public Hearing — — Discussion, and deliberation on ZCMP-22-1 I -Cont’d. as to whether or not the zone change was necessary and he thought there was confusion between zone change conditions versus conditional use permit conditions. The zone change requested would actually make this property completely legal to remain an auto repair as one of the proposed uses for the property. If the Board did not agree, another suggestion was if the use of the property were to change from auto repair then the zoning reverted back to the neighborhood commercial. During the Planning Commission meeting the applicant was asked if he read and agreed to all of the conditions and he did.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve ZCMP-22-1 1 based on the RPC’s recommendation and staff findings and subject to all conditions as outlined in the staff report as modified by the RPC deleting condition 2; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY BOARD OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Blundo

assumed the Chair of the Board of Highway Commissioners. 11. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the General Road Report by Public Works Director on General Road Maintenance, Gravel Road Maintenance, Asphalt Patching, Weed Mowing, and direction regarding public works projects. Public Works Director Tom BoIling provided updates on the on-line requests, activities of the crews, and the projects.

Commissioner Cox

asked what was happening on Basin.

Mr. BoIling

said crews were removing, replacing, and widening the road from Daliah all the way through Blagg.

Commissioner Cox

mentioned the bad roads behind the park and asked if there were any plans to do anything with those in the near future.

Mr. Boiling

advised he was looking at Whitney the other day and that would be a complete remove and replace, which would have to be brought to the Board for approval. They could put an item together for the Board if they would like.

Commissioner Cox

asked Mr. Boiling to look at the others in the general area as they were really bad with some pretty severe flooding. Regarding Winery Road from the highway up the hill, she noticed the utility cuts were really rough and there were a lot of potholes. November 1, 2022 11. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the General Road Report by Public Works Director on General Road Maintenance, Gravel Road Maintenance, Asphalt Patching, Weed Mowing, and direction regarding public works proiects-Cont’d.

Mr. Boiling

said that was on the list for 2023.

Commissioner Strickland

did not understand why Great Basin Water Company could not get Homestead at the highway done. They said they were waiting on soils reports. She stated the delay was not because of the Road Department.

Commissioner Carbone

echoed everyone’s sentiments. He asked if all of the roads behind Petrack had been accepted by the County for the subdivision there, to which Mr. Boiling responded yes.

Commissioner Cox

asked if the curves in front of the Source had been looked at and a decision made on what could be done.

Mr. Boiling

said he looked at it and it was being addressed. Pat Minshall said a portion of Farm Road was paved over three months ago, but it still had not been striped and she hoped the contractor had not been paid in full. The huge potholes at the end of Farm Road had been filled with gravel, but now that was dissipating, and she looked forward to the durapatcher coming out. She then mentioned how not all potholes were being filled in.

Sheriff Sharon

Wehrly said she spent the weekend in Beatty and had quite a few people tell her there were a lot of floods in Beatty and a lot of residue left on the roads. They asked her to bring that to the Board’s attention.

Commissioner Jabbour

said after the last flood experienced in the Beatty area the Beatty Advisory Board contacted Mr. Boiling almost immediately with the concerns the Sheriff explained. There was a plan in place and Mr. Boiling was on top of it. Tonopah Town Manager Joe Westerlund said the Road Department did a fantastic job in Tonopah on the four streets they chip sealed, and he was getting a lot of positive feedback. He had talked a couple of months ago about the County helping with the rodeo grounds. He said it was looking great and the contractor would be out next week to set up the awnings. Erika Gerling thanked Mr. Boiling and the Road Department, but said there was still a lot of gravel, litter, and dirt around the community. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve an unbudgeted Account Clerk I position within the Assessor office, to be funded by 10101 General Fund. Assessor Sheree Stringer stated Thursday her office sent out almost 5,000 veteran and widow/widower exemptions, and almost 300 people came through the door. Today she had meetings early this morning and was now at the Commission meeting, which left two people at the office. If one called in sick, Mrs. Stringer would not be able to do the other things she did in the community. Her appraisers could not always cover the front office as they needed to go out in the field to appraise properties. Finance advised an additional $3,500.00 would been needed for desks and computer monitors, but she did not need that as she already had that equipment. She agreed with the department service and supplies of $1 344.00. Mrs. Stringer stated it was not feasible for her to bring staff down from Tonopah and that was the reason for this request. Elizabeth Jordan from Finance advised if this was approved an item would be brought back and it could be funded from Contingency. This would be for the FY23 budget, and it would be built in for FY24.

Commissioner Carbone

said a review of the Contingency was needed and asked to have an item on the agenda for the next meeting.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Strickland. In response to Commissioner Blundo, Ms. Jordan advised the total impact for FY23 was $58,881.83.

Commissioner Strickland

suggested nominating Lorinda Wichman.

Commissioner Blundo

wondered if Mrs. Wichman and Megan Labadie could both be nominated. November 1, 2022 27. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to select a nominee for the Mojave-Southern Great Basin Resource Advisory Council. Letters of interest must be received by the Bureau of Land Management by November 4, 2022- Cont’d.

Commissioner Strickland

asked the Board to consider the nomination for Mrs. Wichman, who could delegate her staff.

Mr. Sutton

clarified this would just be a nomination by the Board, after which the interested party would have to send an application to BLM. The person nominated would then have to see if they could have someone fill in for them.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to nominate Lorinda Wichman for the Mojave Southern Great Basin Resource Advisory Council; seconded by Commissioner Blundo.

Commissioner Strickland

stated the only other option was to not send a nomination.

Mr. Sutton

advised Mrs. Wichman was on the phone.

Commissioner Carbone

knew the Board put Mrs. Wichman in a lot of positions and asked if this would cause her difficulties.

Mrs. Wichman

asked for a modification. Ms. Labadie was very well positioned to handle the Southern Mojave Resource Advisory Council. Mrs. Wichman had worked with the Ely and Battle Mountain Resource Advisory Councils in the past. She thought she could make it work, but she said it would be nice to have direction from the Board to nominate Ms. Labadie to the Southern District.

Commissioner Blundo

asked if Mrs. Wichman just wanted Ms. Labadie to be nominated or for both of them to be nominated.

Mrs. Wichman

said she would like them both nominated.

Commissioner Strickland

amended her motion that the Director represented the two areas that were not the Southern Nevada District, and that Ms. Labadie represented the Southern Nevada District; Commissioner Blundo amended his second; 5 yeas. November 1, 2022 PLANNING/BUILDING/CODE COMPLIANCE

Commissioner Carbone

said he had concerns with this item and wanted to talk to Brett Waggoner about it in the next couple of days.

Mr. Waggoner

advised it was just housekeeping.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to set the time and date for the public hearing as December 6, 2022, at 10:00 am.; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Blundo

read the title of the bill into the record.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to set the date and time as December 6, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. in Tonopah; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Blundo

read the title of the bill into the record. November 1, 2022 PUBLIC WORKS

Commissioner Jabbour

made a motion to approve; seconded by Commissioner Blundo; 5 yeas

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to accept; seconded by Commissioner Strickland. Tim Bohannon explained White Glove Ranch developed a road at their own cost and was dedicating it to the County.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to accept the dedication and designate it a minor County road and reject the maintenance; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 5 yeas. November 1 2022

Commissioner Carbone

said currently the Board approved 99% of the items that came before it. An option here was the County Manager could sign certain items within his signature authority. If not, it all came to the Board.

Commissioner Blundo

made a motion to approve the professional services agreement between Atkins North America and Nye County to provide planning, environmental, consulting, and engineering services at the Beatty, Gabbs, and Tonopah Airports in an amount to be negotiated for each respective task or execute the agreement and authorize the County Manager to execute each individual task as the work was authorized, and fund from sources to be determined by the Comptroller; seconded by

Commissioner Jabbour

. Michelle Nelson asked for clarification as to whether it was up to the County Manager’s signature authority on his approval level, and then it went to the Commissioners, or if it was a blanket approval to sign all of the tasks. Tim Sutton said in addition to his normal signature authority the Board had also authorized capital improvements up to the budgeted amount of the project. Leaving the motion with the $50,000.00 limit was no different than what he could do now. The intent of this item was to authorize the expenditure no matter the amount, but it was the pleasure of the Board.

Commissioner Carbone

said he interpreted the motion as the County Manager would do everything, as did Commissioner Strickland.

Commissioner Jabbour

thought it was up to $50,000.00. Purchasing and Contracts Administrator Honey Strozzi stated it was possible to have a task exceed $50,000.00. She put this item on the agenda to alleviate some of the issues involving processing the task orders, although if it was over the $50,000.00 limit she would not have an issue bringing items back to the Board.

Commissioner Jabbour

thought keeping it at $50,000.00 kept everything clean, which

Commissioner Blundo

said his motion was for any amount, but he would rephrase his motion if the Board preferred to keep it at $50,000.00. November 1, 2022 34. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend and approve, or reject Master Professional Services Agreement between Atkins North America, Inc., and Nye County to provide Planning, Environmental, Consulting, and Engineering Services at the Beatty, Gabbs, and Tonopah Airports in an amount to be negotiated for each respective task item; 2) Execute the Agreement; 3) Authorize the County Manager to execute each individual task as the work is authorized or provide direction to staff to bring each task back before the Board for approval ; and 4) Fund from sources to be determined by the Comptroller Cont’d.

Commissioner Blundo

amended his motion to approve the professional services agreement between Atkins North America and Nye County to provide planning, environmental, consulting, and engineering services at the Beatty, Gabbs, and Tonopah Airports in an amount to be negotiated for each respective task and authorize the County Manager to execute each individual task within his $50,000.00 signature authority as the work was authorized, and fund from sources to be determined by the Comptroller; Commissioner Jabbour amended his second. Tim Bohannon said this was potentially an audited item and cautioned the Board to be very clear.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked for an agenda item to discuss the County Manager’s authorization and signature level of approval to up it from $50,000.00.

Commissioner Cox

asked to have Commissioner Jabbour’s item come to the Board after the election, possibly in January after the new people were seated. __________day November 1, 2022

Commissioner Carbone
