Ms. Davis

was not against bringing in outside bands and such, but Clark County had its own type of fall festival. She wondered how many bands in Pahrump were invited to perform there, much less take over all of the entertainment. Lastly, Ms. Davis talked about the horses that everyone loved. She felt that was a case of one or two people who did not like it who got their wishes over everybody else who had lived in Pahrump for years. Pat Minshall said there were a number of people in Amargosa that were allowing trailers on their property and were dumping their sewer water on the ground, which was unacceptable and something no one wanted to live near. Donna Tate, a drummer in one of the bands in Pahrump, said she was disappointed to find out that there were absolutely no local bands for the Fall Festival. She said the local musicians supported this community all the time and to not have the support of whoever set this up was very disappointing to her. Ms. Tate really hoped that something could be done to fix it. George Gholson, also part of a band in Pahrump, said he attended the Fall Festival because he wanted to watch his fellow musicians. He was also disappointed there would be no local bands this year and thought something needed to be done to promote local artists as much as possible. September 6, 2023 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. Maria Guerra talked about the Fall Festival. Festivals provided communities with a variety of activities and entertainment. This year the Fall Festival was subcontracted by the town to a non-professional, and the acts the community looked forward to seeing each year did not get scheduled even though there was room. If the entertainment planning was to be subcontracted, Ms. Guerra wondered why that was not put out for bids and why there was no committee. She stated she as well as many other people tried to contact the subcontractor and none of their communications were responded to. Eric Stillman also talked about the Fall Festival. He said he just found out about this two days ago and thought it was kind of saddening. Denise Gholson said she and her family were a local band and she was rather disappointed they were unable to perform. Michael David Garcia talked about accountability and responsibility; the violation of families by the Sheriff’s Department; inalienable rights; and perversion against children. Kelli Sater said she was the one who did the bookings for the Fall Festival. She advised the gunfighters were scheduled for Sunday at 12:30 p.m., but they were not on the schedule yet because she did not have the time and everything confirmed. She said she had booked bands and entertainment at both of her bars for over five years. She had booked around 300 bands between both venues, not counting the holidays and major events she had hosted in between. Ms. Sater stated she was more than qualified for this position. She said one local band she had booked at her venue a month prior to the Fall Festival played for four hours and were paid $350.00. When that band booked at the Fall Festival, they played a total of three and a half hours and were paid $1,600.00. Ms. Sater said she did the math and it cost more per hour to pay the local bands than it did the non-local bands. She said she was asked to help out with this and was not subcontracted. She was told the budget and that it had never been able to stay in budget, and she could see why. She said she listened to what everyone said and would definitely like to get some local bands back. Erika Gerling thanked everyone for the quick response to Hurricane Hilary.

Commissioner Cox

talked to the entertainment. Apparently there was no budget for the local people and she had heard a lot of them say they really wanted to play. She thought maybe they could volunteer or space could be made for them on a different stage. She asked Parks and Recreation and Kelli Sater to consider that. Commissioner Cox September 6, 2023 3. CommissionerlManager Comments (This item limited to announcements or topiclissues proposed for future workshopslagendas)-Cont’d. then talked about public comment and free speech, and said she would fight for the freedom of speech until she died. Brian Kunzi advised the Commissioners this was not a period of time to discuss items not on the agenda. Their comments were supposed to be limited to those items they wanted to have on a future agenda, but it was not appropriate to continue to discuss matters or public comment in this forum. He stated it was a violation of the Open Meeting Law and asked the Commissioners to restrict their comments to items for a future agenda.

Commissioner Cox

asked for an agenda item to address public comment.

Commissioner Jabbour

noted there was an item on the agenda that touched on public comment.

Commissioner Boskovich

said after the last meeting a friend of his asked why he was completely against solar. Commissioner Boskovich clarified he had no problem with rooftop solar or commercial solar on parking structures, which he thought were great ideas. It was the solar fields blanketing the County that he did not like.

Commissioner Strickland

asked for an agenda item for Pahrump Buildings and Grounds Manager Jimmy Martinez to provide a report on what was going on with all the different parks. Jimmy Martinez said he was going to do that this morning.

Mr. Kunzi

advised that would have to be agendized. If there was going to be a specific report for the Commission to consider that needed to be put on an agenda. That way the public had notice of what was actually going to be discussed at the meeting. He referred to the comment about protecting public comment, but the reality of it was the Commissioners were actually restricting the access to the public because they were talking about matters that the public was not aware of. Mr. Kunzi said that was the reason the Commissioners needed to fully comply with the Open Meeting Law.

Mr. Martinz

said there were a lot of people who said they were involved in the Fall Festival in general public comment. He stated if they were not speaking to him, the Pahrump Buildings and Grounds Department, Kelli Sater, or tourism, then they were not speaking to anybody who was running the Fall Festival.

Commissioner Jabbour

said a post-Fall Festival item would be put on the agenda. September 6, 2023 3. Commissioner/Manager Comments (This item limited to announcements or topiclissues proposed for future workshopslagendas)-Cont’d. Tim Sutton advised today was Natural Resources Director Lorinda Wichman’s last day. She had been a true champion for Nye County and while everyone was sad to see her go, they wished her all the best in the future.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to extend the time from November 28, 2023, to November 28, 2024; seconded by Commissioner Strickland; 5 yeas. TIMED ITEMS 8. 10:00 am. Fiscal Year 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 3rd Public Meeting: 1) Presentation and discussion regarding potential proiects; and 2) Invite the Public to participate in providing ideas, comments and suggestions concerning proposed proiects. Stephani Elliott said so far there were only the three applications heard at the previous meeting. This meeting was just an opportunity to allow possibly somebody from the northern area to be able to submit. One application was received from a local non-profit, but some other funding opportunities came available so they were going to pursue that. Also, David VanDerBeek would not come back because he was still trying to secure the building that he had discussed previously. Utilities Superintendent Darin Tuck said he just wanted to know if the Commissioners had any more questions on the project. He presented an aerial that showed where the power would come in, which was the most expensive option and the one he thought was best. Another option was to have it come across the highway, which would require NDOT involvement and probably BLM. The third option would to have it come from Fox and over, but that would cause a problem if balloons were launched in that area.

Commissioner Strickland

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

Mr. Tuck

said he had looked at prices of wells and was concerned that he was not asking CDBG for enough. He did not know if it was too late to change that.

Commissioner Strickland

suggested Mr. Tuck talk to the grants administrator, and the Town of Pahrump fairgrounds fund may need to participate in this.

Ms. Elliott

said the next step was to finalize the applications, so the grants administrator was working on the submission due by the end of the month. She would work closely September 6, 2023 8. 10:00 a.m. Fiscal Year 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 3rd Public Meeting: 1) Presentation and discussion regarding potential projects; and 2) Invite the Public to participate in providing ideas, comments and suggestions concerning proposed projects-Cont’d. with Mr. Tuck on both projects to take a deeper look at the budget. When the final budget was submitted at the end of the month it was done. Ms. Elliott believed at the November 21, 2023, meeting she would bring forward the eligible items with the final budget in place, as well as the timelines for the final seal of approval from the Board, and then submit the final application. She said the County may be able to ask for more if there were not enough eligible projects, but the projects needed to be budgeted accordingly.

Mr. Tuck

said it may be at the point where the decision needed to be made for just the well or just the power.

Commissioner Strickland

felt it would have to be the well because of the water rights situation.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked what the deadline for the application was.

Ms. Elliott

said it was September 29, 2023, to determine the eligibility of the application.

Commissioner Jabbour

was concerned about going out to bid with the contractors knowing how much grant money the County received. Darryl Lackey said he read the CDBG handbook and there were many features in it that were right in line with his plumb bob park program to end homelessness and poverty. He brought his project in and it was dropped. 10. 10:00 a.m. For Possible Action Public Hearing, discussion, and deliberation — — to issue an Outdoor Festival License to Kelli Sater for A Hui Hou Festival to be held December 30, 2023, at Petrack Park, 150 S. Highway 160, Pahrump, NV. Kelli Sater said she was contacted earlier this year by a gentleman who was looking to host this Hawaiian themed event. A hui hou in Hawaiian meant until we meet again, and he wanted to bring this out here to familiarize Pahrump with the Hawaiian culture. The gentleman had never hosted one so Ms. Sater was helping him. She thought it was a really great event to have in Pahrump.

Commissioner Jabbour

opened and closed the public hearing.

The bid was considered responsive and responsible.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve items 16-17 and 19-21; seconded by Commissioner Carbone.

Commissioner Cox

asked for clarification on item 16 and its sub-parts. September 6, 2023 16. For Possible Action Approval of Assessor’s Office Change Requests to allow the Nye County AssessorlTreasurer to process and Issue Amended Tax Bills Cont’d: Assessor Sheree Stringer explained for each of those items there was a letter that stated exactly what her office was doing. If there was a correction made to the tax bill, it had to go in front of the County Commissioners.

Commissioner Cox

asked why this was being done more and more and whose fault was it.

Mrs. Stringer

said it was no one’s fault. They were the result of either a customer disputing their values or they did not receive their 3% cap and the bills were corrected. These were all corrections that had to be approved by the Commissioners and it had been done this way for 20 years. Ammie Nelson said she noticed a large increase on her tax bill. She called and was told it was because there was siding on the carport. She told them that was there when she bought the property 15 years ago so they corrected it. She suggested re-wording the items to read “to $41 .08” to indicate an increase rather than just a tax bill in the amount of $41 .08, and use the word from to indicate a reduced tax bill. Maryan Hollis said it felt like the Board gave blanket approval to all the items with no discussion and no public comment. She wanted to support item 19 and had a comment about item 20 and asked when that would happen.

Commissioner Strickland

stated this was Ms. Hollis’ opportunity to speak to those items.

Ms. Hollis

said she was in favor of the funding for the Sheriffs Operation Freeze Grant Award. As far as item 20, she said she had a real problem with another two-year extension. The grant was awarded in 2020 and this would be the third extension of it. She did not understand why this project had not been completed by now. Pat Minshall said for months the consent agenda items had been done with no problem whatsoever. As far as items 17 and 19-20, she did not remember Tim Sutton reading those.

Commissioner Strickland

said consent items did not have to be read out loud.

Ms. Minshall

disagreed these were all consent agenda items. Helene Williams said she understood the confusion completely. She recommended between the end of the consent calendar and the beginning of the next action item for discussion putting “Sitting as the Board of County Commissioners” to separate it. September 6, 2023 16. For Possible Action Approval of Assessor’s Office Change Requests to allow the Nye County AssessorlTreasurer to process and Issue Amended Tax Bills Cont’d: Herman Lewis spoke on the speed trap enforcement grant, which he got caught up in. The deputy writing his ticket said they had to write tickets to get grant money. That did not make sense to Mr. Lewis and he did not think it was good for the community. At the request of Commissioner Jabbour, Lorina Dellinger read items 16-17 and 19-21 into the record. Tim Bohannon spoke to item 16 and wondered if there were people on the list who may be aging and if they were still actively with the County. As to item 19, he noted exceptions for signatures were occurring more. He asked if there was a process where that could be avoided.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve items 16-17 and 19-20; 4 yeas.

Commissioner Cox

voted nay because she could not read a lot of what was on the Assessor’s report on-line. 19. For Possible Action Approval to: 1) Accept the State of Nevada Department of Public Safety, Operation Freeze grant award in the amount of $15000.00 to provide funding for Nye County Sheriffs Office participation in a speeding enforcement project.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve items 16-17 and 19-20; 4 yeas.

For Possible Action Approval to: 1) Accept the Nevada Off-Highway Vehicles Program Amendment #2 to extend the grant period through December 31, 2025 for the continuation of the Pahrump Fairgrounds OHV Park project.

PDOP President David Boruchowitz said this was the 1 4. year for this event. Due to the number of people who came the last couple of years they had always gone the extra mile to ensure they had the large event permit, which they were submitting again this year as a precaution.

Commissioner Jabbour

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to approve the issuance of a festival license to the PDOP for the Pumpkin Days on October 20-23, 2023; seconded by Commissioner Boskovich; 5 yeas. The Board was in recess until 2:37 p.m.

Commissioner Carbone

assumed the Chair of the Board of Highway Commissioners. September 6, 2023 12. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the General Road Report by the 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 activities of the crews, including flood recovery efforts in all areas of the County and how no repairs could be made in Pahrump until FEMA approved them.

Commissioner Carbone

asked about a priority list for the flood repairs.

Mr. Boiling

said he tasked his supervisors with that and they should have it no later than first thing tomorrow morning.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked Mr. Boiling to provide copies of the list to the Commissioners before the next meeting.

Commissioner Strickland

said NDOT had a center rail running in their easement that caught all the debris. She asked Mr. Boiling to reach out to NDOT and ask if that rail should be removed.

Commissioner Boskovich

said the people on Dandelion had easements covered in mud. He asked if they were being advised the County was not ignoring it because he had several reach out to him saying no one was doing anything.

Mr. Boiling

said there were quite a few press releases. He then provided an update on the Basin project, which would be paved next week.

Commissioner Cox

said she needed a new set of license plates for her truck as they were getting unreadable.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked who constructed and put in the Duckwater road cuiverts originally.

Mr. Boiling

said he did not know.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked if Mr. Boiling got permission from NDOT then went in with the County’s material and labor, to which Mr. Boiling responded yes.

Commissioner Cox

thought the people operating the durapatcher were putting too much pea gravel down. Pat Minshali thanked Mr. Boiling and his crew for completing the overlay on the western end of Farm Road. She said in 19 years she had never seen that much water that high running that fast and she believed if that overlay had not been on it a good portion of the road would have been lost. The crew also cleaned up the western part of Frontier. September 6, 2023 12. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the General Road Report by the Public Works Director on General Road Maintenance, Gravel Road Maintenance, Asphalt Patching, Weed Mowing and direction regarding public works proiects-Cont’d.

Sheriff McGill

gave a shout out to Mr. Boiling for his efforts during the flood. Herman Lewis advised Granicus was down so IT may need to look at it. SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner Jabbour

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. PUBLIC WORKS

Mr. Boiling

said the County would get better money if they scrapped them instead of selling them, which was why he asked to be given the ability to determine how to dispose of them.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked Mr. Boiling if he had any comparisons of scrap versus sale.

Mr. Boiling

said he did not, but properytroom.com did this every day and they had comparisons that they would send for the vehicles so that determination could be made before the vehicles were sent to them.

Commissioner Strickland

asked if this would alleviate the code compliance issue with those vehicles.

Mr. Boiling

said no, but it would stall it. September 6, 2023 34. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Determine that the excess Nye County vehicles in the attached list including but not limited to Ford F250’s, police vehicles, Ram 2500’s, Durango’s, Ambulances, vans, motorcycles, dump trucks, loaders, rollers, graders, and trailers are no longer required for public use; and 2) Determine it is in the best interest to dispose of the vehicles in a manner determined by Thomas Boiling, Public Works Director with any resulting proceeds being deposited to the appropriate departments-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox

said Pahrump Valley Disposal bought these cars too and gave a fair amount especially for one with an engine and transmission. She suggested Mr. Boiling get a quote from them since they were local. Tim Bohannon wanted confirmation that the money received would go into Finance and not directly to Mr. Boiling. Helen Bae advised the proceeds from the sale would be on the accounting side booked as gain on sale of assets. Brian Kunzi added the vehicle came from a particular department and that department would receive the money, not an individual.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to determine it was in the best interest to dispose of the vehicles listed in a manner determined by the Public Works Director with any resulting proceeds being deposited to the appropriate departments; seconded by

Commissioner Strickland

; 5 yeas. DISTRICT ATTORNEY 22. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve, amend and approve, or reject a “Subdivision Participation and Release Form” regarding opioid defendant Teva Ltd. pursuant to the One Nevada Agreement on Allocation of Opioid Recoveries (“One Nevada Agreement”) which itself was previously agreed to by this Commission for participation in a settlement with the State of Nevada and opioids manufacturer defendant Teva Ltd. as listed in Exhibit C to the One Nevada Agreement. Brian Kunzi explained there was a fairly large national group that went after the individuals collectively. The Nevada Attorney General made a decision to pursue this individually and not participate in the mass group and that was how the County was getting these particular multi-million dollar settlements. The County’s percentage was unknown at this time. He asked that item 23 be opened as well as it was part of the settlements. September 6, 2023 23. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve, amend and approve, or reject a “Subdivision Participation Form and Release” regarding opioid defendant Waigreens pursuant to the One Nevada Agreement on Allocation of Opioid Recoveries (“One Nevada Agreement”) which itself was previously agreed to by this Commission for participation in a settlement with the State of Nevada and opioids retailer defendant Waigreens as listed in Exhibit C to the One Nevada Agreement. Brian Kunzi said the County’s percentage was unknown on this item as well. It was his recommendation that the County agree to this. He explained the way the Nevada Attorney General did this was they would make payments to the County over time instead of a one-time lump sum.

Commissioner Strickland

said she received an update that $7.235 million was what had been allocated to Nye so far.

Mr. Kunzi

thought that was what the County received previously and this would be on top of that. Tim Bohannon asked if the money would go to the general fund or if it would be used to fight against more of the same to reduce drug use in the County.

Mr. Kunzi

advised there were restrictions on how the money could be used. It was really designed to compensate programs that helped victims of opioid issues, not necessarily the individual user themselves. It could not be spent on just anything, but there were a lot of good programs that could benefit from this.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion for items 22 and 23 to approve the Subdivision Participation and Release Form regarding the opioid defendants Teva and Walgreens; seconded by Commissioner Boskovich; 5 yeas. 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding approval of a Settlement Agreement between Pahrump 9.83 LLC and Nye County concerning APN 043-331 -15 and a Deed of Trust subject of a Quiet Title action in Case CV22- 0540, Pahrump 9.83 LLC vs Forum Group Limited, Nye County, et al. Brian Kunzi said this case had been around an awful long time. He explained it was an odd parcel with a 20-year old subdivision. The property was purchased, but there were a lot of title liens and things like that on it regarding previous agreements. Mr. Kunzi said the lawsuit was finally settled and they were paying the County a fairly nominal sum. The County would release all of the liens and restrictions that were previously on that subdivision. Michael David Garcia talked about Attorney General Ford’s history and said he was nothing but a hood rat. September 6, 2023 24. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding approval of a Settlement Agreement between Pahrump 9.83 LLC and Nye County concerning APN 043-331-15 and a Deed of Trust subject of a Quiet Title action in Case CV22- 0540, Pahrump 9.83 LLC vs Forum Group Limited, Nye County, et al-Cont’d.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve the settlement agreement between Pahrump 9.83 LLC and Nye County; seconded by Commissioner Boskovich; 5 yeas. SHERIFF 25. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend and approve, or reiect a Joint Powers Agreement between Mineral County and Nye County for the purpose of providing law enforcement services to each county. In- Kind services will be provided by each government entity; and 2) Execute the agreement.

Sheriff McGill

explained this was an agreement between the Nye County Sheriffs Office and Mineral County to provide assistance to each other. There were times when Nye County deputies had to respond to Mineral County jurisdiction on a police action, but it was more often that Mineral County came into Nye County because of the response time that it may take for Nye County deputies to get to a location that Mineral County may be closer to.

Commissioner Strickland

commented this could potentially be a six- or eight-year agreement.

Sheriff McGill

said it could be in perpetuity. He saw no reason why it would not be renewed on a continuous basis. He advised the Mineral County Commission approved this agreement this morning and he had their signed copy in hand.

Commissioner Boskovich

made a motion to approve the Joint Powers Agreement between Mineral County and Nye County and execute the agreement; seconded by

Commissioner Carbone

; 5 yeas. 26. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend and approve, or reject an Interlocal Agreement between Washoe County and Nye County for the purpose of providing forensic pathology services to Nye County in the amount of $2,535.00 per autopsy and $1,050.00 per external examination; 2) Execute the agreement; and 3) Fund from 10101 General Fund.

Sheriff McGill

explained this was an agreement to allow the County to continue using the Washoe County medical examiner in the case of death cases requiring an autopsy as there was no medical examiner in Nye. The same type of agreement was in place with Clark County for the southern portion of Nye. September 6, 2023 26. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend and approve, or reject an Interlocal Agreement between Washoe County and Nye County for the purpose of providing forensic pathology services to Nye County in the amount of $2,535.00 per autopsy and $1,050.00 per external examination; 2) Execute the agreement; and 3) Fund from 10101 General Fund-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox

commented on how much money Clark County was paid for their autopsies and asked if the cost for Washoe was compatible. Lorina Dellinger said Nye was paying Clark $2,800.00 per autopsy and $800.00 per external exam. Washoe would be $2,535.00 per autopsy and $1 050.00 per external exam.

Commissioner Strickland

said the fee schedule included a lot of other things. She asked if that was part of what was being approved or if it was just those two line items. Honey Strozzi explained the fee schedule would apply for everything that was used within the contract. She highlighted those two main points just because that was what the County was generally invoiced for.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve the interlocal agreement between Washoe County and Nye County to provide forensic pathology services, execute the agreement, and fund from 10101; seconded by Commissioner Cox; 5 yeas. 27. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to ratify Sheriff Joseph McGill’s signature accepting the Memorandum of Understanding between Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and Nye County for the purpose of cooperating on public safety and search and rescue services signed by the Sheriff on August 3, 2023.

Sheriff McGill

said this was similar in nature as to what was done with Mineral County. The agreement was for services between Clark County from the Metropolitan Police Department and Nye County primarily for search and rescue operations. Tim Bohannon stated his support of this item.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to ratify Sheriff Joseph McGill’s signature and accept the Memorandum of Understanding between the Las Vegas Police and Nye County; seconded by Commissioner Boskovich; 5 yeas. September 6, 2023 COUNTY MANAGER 29. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve waiving the GIS Program Fees for Courtney Butt, University of Nevada, Reno student and member of the nonprofit conservation group Mojave Desert Land Trust in the amount of $7,070.00. Courtney Butt said she had been hired along with her geography professor to create a mapping tool for the Mojave Desert Land Trust. They wanted to purchase 100,000 acres of land in the next five years. They were concentrating on areas with higher biodiversity or areas where there were sensitive and protected species found like the Mojave Desert tortoise and the western Joshua tree. They needed parcel data from Nye as part of this mapping tool. Their main area of focus was in Southern California in an area known as the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan Boundary, but they wanted to expand their focus area to 20 kilometers outside of that and that was why Nye came into play as well as Clark County and three counties in Arizona. Ms. Butt said so far they had gotten all of the parcel data from the other counties for free and they hoped they could get Nye County’s has well. If the Mojave Desert Land Trust purchased land within Nye County it would benefit Nye because it would help protect species habitat which could help ensure their long term survival.

Commissioner Cox

asked if this had anything to do with the environmental groups or was it strictly an organization doing this.

Ms. Butt

said the Mojave Desert Land Trust was an accredited land trust which purchased private land in hopes of protecting it for species. They could be considered an environmental group because they wanted to help protect the environment, but they were an accredited trust.

Commissioner Cox

asked if it was associated with the New Green World Organization.

Ms. Butt

said all she knew was the Mojave Desert Land Trust had been around for a while. She said they just wanted parcel data information so if they wanted to purchase land within Nye they had the parcel number available easily so then they could reach out to purchase that land.

Commissioner Strickland

said the GIS system allowed people to look at the whole entire County and they could click on a particular parcel to learn the ownership and usage. That was the tool Ms. Butt was asking the Commissioners to waive the fee of $7,070.00 for. Commissioner Strickland said apparently the County offered that for sale to people for $7,070.00, which Samantha Tackett confirmed.

Commissioner Cox

asked if this was just a request to waive fees for the system as she thought it would set a dangerous precedent because if the fees were waived for these people it would have to be waived for everyone. Taxpayer money was already spent September 6, 2023 29. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve waiving the GIS Program Fees for Courtney Butt, University of Nevada, Reno student and member of the nonprofit conservation group Mojave Desert Land Trust in the amount of $7,070.OO-Cont’d. improving the system and she did not think anyone should be allowed to take advantage of that.

Commissioner Strickland

said to Ms. Butt that in her presentation she stated that they were wanting to buy 100,000 acres of private land.

Ms. Butt

clarified she was a graduate student at UNR who was hired by the Mojave Desert Land Trust. She was not part of the trust. She was creating mapping skills to help them figure out where they wanted to purchase land. It was a non-profit organization and it was not looking to make money off of this. Several other counties had given the parcel data for free because it was not going to be used for profit.

Commissioner Boskovich

pointed out the Mojave Desert Land Trust was based heavily in California.

Ms. Butt

said that was their main area.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if ecological reasons included stopping solar from going on these properties.

Ms. Butt

said she could not speak for what the Mojave Desert Land Trust was going to do. She was just trying to help them locate parcel data for land that they were interested in. One of the reasons they wanted to do this project was because they were figuring out where renewable resource plants would be going. They were trying to focus on land for conservation to make sure not everything was developed.

Commissioner Jabbour

said he would like something in writing from the organization that they were indeed going to preserve the lands they may acquire in Nye County. He asked Ms. Butt if she would be willing to return with that information in writing as more back-up because it was really not clear.

Ms. Butt

said she could do that.

Commissioner Cox

made a motion to deny and re-agendize when the time came if they presented the letter; seconded by Commissioner Boskovich. Mark Kampf noted the trust had hired UNR to do this work and asked if this would increase the amount of money that Ms. Butt would get from them because she would not have this outflow. September 6, 2023 29. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve waiving the GIS Program Fees for Courtney Butt, University of Nevada, Reno student and member of the nonprofit conservation group Mojave Desert Land Trust in the amount of $7,070.OO-Cont’d.

Ms. Butt

said they paid the university for them to do the research. She would get paid to work on the project, but that was just to pay for school.

Mr. Kampf

said this would be a cost to the university so this was like a donation to the university, to which Ms. Butt responded yes. Ammie Nelson said she was not in favor of this. There had been enough of the ecosystem destroyed because of solar projects. In her opinion no one bought 100,000 acres not expecting to get a profit and not expecting to get something in return. Erika Gerling said they could just use the GIS system and/or the Assessor’s site and find this information without any kind of approval. Tim Bohannon wondered what the benefits of doing this were and felt clarity was needed on the use of the land. He said he was not in favor of this at this time. Helene Williams stated Nye County had way too much land owned by government and she did not think these kind of organizations were forthcoming with correct information. She asked the Board to not support this and not bring it back. Herman Lewis said the GIS was very accessible and this was definitely misdirection in some manner. Leah Aldridge said she had gone to the Mojave Desert Land Trust’s Web site. The executive director was Kelly Herbinson, who focused on the impacts of renewable energy on desert ecosystems. Ms. Aidridge wondered why someone would need to study that unless they were planning to do something along those lines. She asked the Commissioners to back away from this. Laura Larsen said the Board needed to know who the actual grantor of this trust was and what the trust actually did. She opposed this item.

Ms. Jordan

said it would be prudent to look at that contract a little further. The general fund had subsidized the jail fund about $5.52 million by way of transfers.

Commissioner Strickland

said the Capital Projects County Fund 10401 had fallen short and asked if the ARPA funds had not been moved yet.

Ms. Jordan

explained that was part of the transfer she had to do from the general fund. It was budgeted at $3.3 million and the actual was $410,000.00 so the balance was coming from the general fund.

Commissioner Cox

thought the jail loan from years back on the actual jail was $17 million. She asked Ms. Jordan if she had any information on whether that was being paid down at this point because only the interest was being paid for a long time.

Ms. Jordan

said she would have to get Commissioner Cox details, but the County was paying on that as shown on page 8.

Commissioner Cox

suggested using some of the grant money flowing into the County to just pay that off.

Commissioner Carbone

asked how much of an impact the reconciliation would have on the Treasurer’s report.

Ms. Jordan

said a lot less than in previous years.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked how much more CTAX money was expected.

Ms. Jordan

explained the State was normally about two to three months behind on finishing their books before they transferred the money to the individual counties. She was surprised this year to see the County had already received payments for April and May, 2023, so the last one she believed would be June, 2023. September 6, 2023 30. For Possible Action Report by Elizabeth Jordan, regarding the budget status for Fiscal Year 2023, for Nye County and all sub-entities-Cont’d.

Commissioner Jabbour

clarified he was referring to an overpayment from Nye County to the State and he did not believe that money had been received yet.

Ms. Jordan

said she would have to follow up with the Treasurer’s Office as the Treasurer had been spearheading that portion of it because it was on the renewable energy side of things. Ms. Jordan believed it was about $500,000.00. Mark Kampf said the notes from the Debt Management Commission meeting indicated the jail bond principal in fiscal year 2023 was $808,000.00 and the total debt service including interest was $1137 million. At a 1.65% interest rate he said it was a good idea to invest that money rather than paying down the debt. Maryan Hollis asked when the $6 million from the tribal grant was received. Tim Bohannon said this was the time to start looking at forecasting and planning.

Ms. Jordan

advised the $20 million received into the grant fund included both tranches of the $12 million. The second tranche was received in June, 2023. 31. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend and approve or reject funding source for the remodel of the 250 N. Highway 160 building.

Ms. Jordan

said this was the 250 Building which she was tasked with bringing back a funding source for. She said the 250 Building was the original intent of the sale of PMC, which turned into moving that money to the capital fund for the fairgrounds. In order to make it right with the original intent, the Board would have to reverse that and transfer it now to the remodel of the 250 Building, which was what Ms. Jordan proposed.

Commissioner Strickland

suggested using the LATCF funds for the 250 Building.

Ms. Jordan

said that would be up to the Commission.

Commissioner Strickland

said the LATCF funds could be used for the fairgrounds, but she wondered if money was taken away from the fairgrounds if it would ever go back to the fairgrounds.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked how much PMC sold for, where the money was now, and what it was earmarked for.

Ms. Jordan

said it was $2.6 million, it was in the general fund, and it was supposed to be earmarked for the 250 Building. September 6, 2023 31. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend and approve or reject funding source for the remodel of the 250 N. Highway 160 building-Cont’d.

Commissioner Strickland

said and for anything that was health and human services.

Commissioner Jabbour

said the money from the sale was supposed to be for the construction or renovation of a building specifically for Health and Human Services, Finance, Human Resources, Risk Management, and the Water Board. He was very clear at the time that he did not want to sell PMC because he knew the County needed the space and it was a building that could have been renovated and utilized for the employees. The money from the sale was supposed to go to the 250 Building.

Commissioner Strickland

said Commissioner Jabbour was right. This Commission had every intention of taking that $2.6 million and using it just for Health and Human Services, which was an immediate need.

Commissioner Boskovich

said Health and Human Services definitely needed to move because they were completely full. The only reason he was not opposing this was because he believed the money would be returned to the fairgrounds and then some. Ammie Nelson said she was in favor of this item. Helene Williams said she went to a VEA meeting during the lunch hour today and was very disturbed when she found out they had a mortgage. She thought it was time that the County Commissioners direct legal counsel to file immediately a lien against VEA and everything that it owned at least to the tune of $10 million. Ms. Williams said the community center should be built by the promises that were made. Maryan Hollis thought the $12 million should be used rather than moving money around and risking the fairgrounds. Herman Lewis agreed with Ms. Williams suggestion to have the District Attorney look into the VEA issue. Tim Bohannon wondered if the County was looking out far enough if money was going to be taken from one fund and moved to another.

Commissioner Carbone

thought a decision needed to be made so the Commissioners did not hurt themselves by waiting.

Commissioner Boskovich

asked if the money could be paid back to the fairgrounds funds in December, 2023, when received.

Commissioner Strickland

pointed out the LATCF funds were available this minute. September 6, 2023 31. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: 1) Approve, amend and approve or reject funding source for the remodel of the 250 N. Highway 160 building-Cont’d.

Ms. Jordan

said the LATCF funds had been deposited into the grant fund, but they needed to be presented with all the other projects the departments would like funded. A workshop was being scheduled where those presentations would be made to the Board to make decisions.

Commissioner Strickland

said there was an emergency situation. A bid was received and a decision needed to be made where the money should come from.

Ms. Jordan

added there was also a contract and because that contract was already awarded the contractor could start immediately. Stephani Elliott said hopefully the workshop would get scheduled at the end of October, 2023. She cautioned the Board to not use any of those funds without providing the departments and the public an opportunity.

Commissioner Strickland

thought the Board should stick with the intent of the sale of the PMC building and do the workshop. The immediate need now was this contract. Helen Bae said if that was the intent a year ago from the sale of PMC it should have been encumbered or at least committed or administratively set aside. She thought improvement was needed in setting aside funds when those decisions were made. Brian Kunzi said if the Board walked away from the bid or the contract they would be putting themselves into a hole with trying to rebid that project. Once a project was bid and prices received it was going to be very difficult to really move forward without legal challenge of the rebidding.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve the funding source for the remodel of the 250 Building from the Nye County Capital Fund 10401; seconded by

Commissioner Carbone

; 5 yeas. COUNTY MANAGER 28. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Resolution No. 2023-26: A Resolution Amending the Nye County Board of County Commissioners Rules of Procedure. Lorina Dellinger outlined the fotlowing changes: • On page 9, the addition of language to clarify NRS 244.060 regarding a tie vote when there were four members present. September 6, 2023 28. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Resolution No. 2023-26: A Resolution Amending the Nye County Board of County Commissioners Rules of Procedure-Cont’d. • On page 16, the removal of a section where the rule required the Chair to give up the gavel to make a motion as there was no need for that. The Chair could make a motion based on Robert ‘s Rules of Order. • On page 20, changes to simplify when a special meeting was needed. • On page 21, changing it to any Board member could sign any document once approved rather than all five Commissioners having to sign.

Commissioner Strickland

noted section 3.2 said no further motion shall be entertained and she wondered if that was what Robert’s Rules of Order said.

Mrs. Dellinger

clarified it was actually NRS 244.060.

Commissioner Strickland

asked that the words “with” be changed to “within” in section 4.3. She also thought two Commissioners should call a special meeting, not just the Chair.

Mrs. Dellinger

did not believe it meant just the Chair could. If a Commissioner asked the County Manager for a special meeting, an additional Commissioner did not need to approve it also.

Commissioner Strickland

said the way it read was just the Chair could call a special meeting, so if the Chair did not want to hear the item the rest of the Commissioners were shut down.

Commissioner Jabbour

said that could be amended through a motion. Tim Sutton thought the proposal was to actually make it easier to call for a special meeting because currently it not only required the approval of the Chair, but also an additional member. There was a likelihood that the Chair could approve it but could not get a second member, in which case the request would be denied.

Mrs. Dellinger

asked Commissioner Strickland if she wanted the Chair removed from just approving because even if there was another member there had been that situation which was why the language was proposed to make it easier.

Commissioner Jabbour

said any Commissioner wishing to call a special meeting had the right and authority to do so, but they better be justified in doing that.

Commissioner Carbone

thought if any of the Commissioners wanted a special meeting they should go to the County Manager who could then check with everybody else. September 6, 2023 28. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Resolution No. 2023-26: A Resolution Amending the Nye County Board of County Commissioners Rules of Procedure-Cont’d.

Commissioner Strickland

respectfully requested that any Board member have the ability to call a special meeting.

Commissioner Cox

also felt the Commissioners should have the ability to call a special meeting and should go directly to the County Manager.

Commissioner Carbone

referred to section 5.2.4.2 regarding the 15-minute limitation on public comment, which he thought needed to be removed as public comment had never been limited to 15 minutes. He thought section 7.3.2 should be removed also for the same reason. Brian Kunzi thought this was getting very complicated and suggested that each of the Commissioners submit their corrections in writing to Admin and have this item brought back.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to continue this item to the September 19, 2023, meeting; seconded by Commissioner Carbone. Leah Aidridge thought the 1 5-minute limit on public comment was wrong and thanked the Commissioners for removing that. Maryan Hollis said she looked up tie votes in Robert’s Rules of Order, which clearly stated in the event of a tie vote the motion always failed because an affirmative vote was required to pass any motion. Helene Williams said anyone in County government who would suggest reducing the public comment period to 15 minutes did not belong in County government. Tim Bohannon talked about the change back to one signature. He thought having all five Commissioners sign documents showed unity. Michael David Garcia said the Commissioners were supposed to protect safety and wellness. He asked them to respect the Constitution. Herman Lewis thanked Commissioner Carbone for bringing up section 5.2.4.2.

Commissioner Cox

thought when rewriting the rules of procedure something should be added that would allow the Commissioners to respond, or have an agenda item so they could respond, to things the public brought up. She noted that would not be against Robert’s Rules of Order if the Chair allowed it. Brian Kunzi explained the Open Meeting Law did allow the Commissioners to discuss what an individual said under public comment on an agenda item. His concern was with the pre- and post-comments in which issues were raised. If it was an issue a Commissioner wanted an agenda item for, they had every right to bring that up, but this period could not be used to make general comments about different things because those items were not on the agenda and the public had no notice that those things would be discussed. Additionally, Mr. Kunzi stated Robert’s Rules of Order did not trump the Open Meeting Law. Robert’s Rules of Order dealt with procedures, not with content of how things were discussed in a meeting.

Commissioner Carbone

wanted an agenda item regarding the protection of the children and making sure there were no issues with delinquency or people mistreating or selling children. September 6, 2023 36. Commissioner/Manager Comments (This item limited to announcements or topic/issues proposed for future workshopslagendas)-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox

asked for an agenda item to talk about the Fall Festival and the items the people brought up today to see what could be done to accommodate them.

Commissioner Jabbour

reminded everyone to protect children, conserve water, and spay/neuter pets.

Commissioner Jabbour

adjourned the meeting. APPROVED this i day ATTEST: Of 2023. Chair ye o nty Clerk / IYeputy
