Mr. Garcia

continued his public comment and talked about the Constitution; the 11 th Amendment; the possible need for outside counsel to challenge performance bonds; the unconstitutional signs on the judges' door; and SB354. Stephanie Hashimura stated her opposition to the medical waste facility. She wondered what would happen if there was a spill on the County roads. She urged the Commissioners to consider reversing the decision. Tom Waters said on Memorial Day at 10:00 a.m. there would be a veterans memorial ceremony at the Veterans Memorial with lunch after. The VFW would have their ceremony on the same day at the same time, and at noon they would have the flag and veteran banner retirement ceremony. Also on Monday at 6:00 p.m. the DAV would have their veterans memorial at the Veterans Memorial. The DAV barbecue would be on June 1, 2024, from 11 :00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Mountain Falls. Victoria Loeffler echoed what everyone else's concerns were about the medical waste treatment facility center. She asked the Board to consider overturning the decision made. Tim Bohannon suggested using item 5, emergency items, as a tool to address things like what should be done if there was a major fire or catastrophe. Debra Sommers said she was opposed to the medical waste facility. She and her husband had health issues and were concerned about the particles that were going to go into the air. She said she would do whatever it took to keep it from becoming a reality. May 21, 2024 person.) Action will not be taken on the matters considered during this period until specifically included on an agenda as an action item (FIRST). Joyce Barishman also talked about the medical waste facility approved by the RPC. She thought the RPC should be dissolved as the members were irresponsible and did not care about the citizens of Pahrump. Catherine Mcleroy expressed her concerns with the medical waste facility, especially with a hazmat situation. The fire department was not equipped to deal with any issue like that, and it was very much a hazard for the citizens and the environment. She hoped the Commissioners would take responsibility as the citizens did not want it here. Jeannie King said she attended the last planning committee meeting and asked each one of the members where their credentials were to think that it was a good idea and it should be placed right in the middle of Pahrump. She asked the Commissioners to overturn the decision or the people would replace them. Michael and Lorna Noyes were present. Mr. Noyes submitted a written statement and numerous documents for the record regarding his arrest on May 9, 2022, by the Nye County Sheriff's Department without a valid warrant and his pursuit of a public bond claim because of it [see Attachment 1]. His claim was denied by CNA Surety/Western Surety because the County lacked the state mandated official public bond coverage at the time of his arrest. Mr. Noyes asked that one of the Commissioners or the appropriate administrator contact him within the next seven days so the issue may be addressed along with additional bond claims during the period of non-coverage. Richard Hamilton submitted his written statement of intent to sue Nye County over the District Attorney's violation of Marsy's Law [see Attachment 2].

Commissioner Boskovich

stated the medical waste facility never came before this Board. He directed staff to have the company give a presentation to the Commissioners. He also wanted the District Attorney to look into whether or not the license for the facility could be rescinded.

Commissioner Strickland

said the Commissioners would do what they could to figure out more about it. Page6 May 21, 2024 announcements, brief discussions of public comments, correction of factual inaccuracies, direction to staff, or topics proposed for future board meetings. Lengthy deliberation of topics not on the agenda is prohibited by the Nevada Open Meeting Law).

Commissioner Cox

said she supported the people who did not want to see the facility as she did not want to see it either. She then said had been getting a lot of complaints about potholes not being filled and felt someone was not using the durapatcher.

Commissioner Jabbour

thanked Darryl Lackey for not opening the mail he received addressed to Commissioner Jabbour. He announced the annual Jim Butler Days celebration would be in Tonopah this weekend.

Commissioner Carbone

advised the District Attorney was actively looking at the medical waste facility situation. As to people talking about the roads, he said people should attend the RTC meetings to voice their concerns.

Commissioner Strickland

said Thursday was the last day of school so there would be more children out during the day. Early voting would start this Saturday and there would a be Water District Governing Board meeting in chambers on May 28, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. She then said people could bring their flags to the VFW on Memorial Day for proper disposal. Fire Chief Scott Lewis said this was EMS week and extended his appreciation to all of the EMS responders. He also reminded people to be extremely careful as it was getting very dry and there was a lot of weed growth. Brian Kunzi said an agenda item was needed soon to address the report from the Department of Indigent Defense Services. The suggestion was the County would need to add six indigent attorneys, which to him was a bit absurd given the fact he had six attorneys that did prosecutions and that would bring the total of defense attorneys to twelve. Their time was tracked and there was only one of the six attorneys who came close to reporting working 40 hours a week. Mr. Kunzi questioned the logic of needing to add six more attorneys if most of them were using the position as a part-time job. Tim Sutton said he was informed by Lorina Dellinger that she had an item prepared for the June 4, 2024, meeting for that purpose.

Commissioner Cox

wondered what comfort to animals meant and what would happen after the first year. Page8 May 21, 2024 deliberation to adopt. amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2024-06.

Commissioner Carbone

explained typically most animals did not stay in a rescue for more than a few months, but there were situations where animals did not get adopted. There were several steps that could be taken, like fostering or putting them in a sanctuary. The language was to prevent an animal getting to the point where it had been there for three months and it was time to euthanize it.

Commissioner Cox

suggested changing the language to the person running the facility would use every option except euthanasia.

Commissioner Boskovich

agreed and said he would never be okay euthanizing a perfectly fine animal.

Mrs. Dellinger

continued with the amendments as follows: • On page 44, amending the definition of breeder to change the count of cats or dogs in one year from 25 to 15. Also, in the last sentence the word "the" would be changed to "this" and the word "not" rejected. The full sentence would read 'This term does include a person who breeds dogs and cats as a hobby." • On page 45, rejecting the definition of breeder hobby in its entirety. • On page 50, under 6.05.030, appeal of animal control decisions, changing the words "animal control" to "Animal Services." • On page 51, adding commas in section 6.06.010.B. so it read "Canine Core Vaccinations shall be administered, as recommended by a licensed veterinarian, for all dogs with an unknown vaccination history." • On page 52, adding commas in section 6.06.01 0.C. so it read "Feline Core Vaccinations shall be administered, as recommended by a licenses veterinarian, for all cats with an unknown vaccination history." • On page 53, amending section 6.08.010, Multipet Permits, subsection A.1 .c., removing the words "shall be licensed" since the licensing procedures were being removed. • On page 54, section 6.08.020, Commercial Kennel Permits, subsection B.1.g., removing the words "in accordance with section 6.09.020 of this title" so it would just call for fingerprints. • On page 57, section 6.08.050, Special Conditions Animal Permit Application, subsection A. 7., removing "in accordance with section 6.06.070 of this title," and removing subsection A.18. in its entirety as it was a duplicate. Page9 May 21, 2024 deliberation to adopt. amend and adopt. or reiect Nye County Bill No. 2024-06. • On page 60, section 6.080.100, Big Cat Housing Requirements, amending subsection C, replacing (4) with (3) to match the verbiage. • On page 61, section 6.08.120, General Restrictions, Conditions, and Requirements, amending subsection C by changing the word "Control" to "Services" so it read "Animal Services." • On page 62, section 6.10.010, lmpoundment of Animal for Protective Custody, amending subsection B by adding at the end of the paragraph "If unclaimed by the owner within such term, the animal shall become the property of the animal shelter'' as it was left unsaid as to what would happen with the animal. • On page 68, section 6.15.020, Breeder Permit, amending subsection B.4.a.vii. by removing "in accordance with section 6.16.020 of this title." • On Page 84, 6.20.070, Animals In Parks, amending the section title to read "Animals In Parks and Public Places" and amending the first sentence in that section to read "Animals in parks and public places shall be restricted by a leash except for the following ." • On page 85, under the same section, amending the last sentence to read "A person having custody of an animal in a park and public places shall be responsible for picking up feces deposited by his animal."

Commissioner Carbone

said the bill included all comments made during the workshop.

Commissioner Boskovich

asked if there was a limit to licensed breeders, to which

Commissioner Strickland

opened the public hearing. Helene Williams asked that this item be moved to another agenda on another day as it was over 80 pages of documentation with a lot of changes and neither the public nor the Commissioners had time to review a final document. Harley Kulkin suggested waiving adoption fees after an animal had been in custody for a certain amount of time. Scott Shoemaker stated Title 6 was full of errors and mistakes. There was no grandfathering clause, and even if there was the requirements listed in the ordinance were just wrong. As some examples, since vicious and dangerous animals included dogs, that contradicted NRS 202.500 and actually subordinated the commission of a May 21, 2024 deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2024-06. misdemeanor for allowing somebody to keep a vicious dog. An animal shelter by definition must be operated by an SPCA in accordance with NRS 547, which covered agricultural districts and was another mistake. Under animal special conditions it stated no wild animal or special conditions animals shall be housed or exhibited in Nye County.

Mr. Shoemaker

said the County would now regulate all wild animals such as birds, fish, reptiles, ferrets, and basically everything not domesticated. Also under animal special conditions it was stated the application must be complete and additional information must be submitted in a timely manner when requested. He thought that was an open door which allowed the County to request anything it wanted which did not make sense. Animal rescues and sanctuaries, including horse rescues, which did not require a permit would now be required to maintain records for Animal Control and inspection, which sounded a little bit like Commissioner Cox's Agenda 21 stuff. Mr. Shoemaker recommended this draft be thrown out and only changes to Title 6 be made that were based on facts as well as actual errors and inconsistencies. Pat Minshall thought ostriches should be added to the animals running at large section. She said there was an ostrich farm in Amargosa and in January, 2024, one got out and attacked a resident who ended up in the emergency room with multiple bruises and a broken rib. Valerie lori said she was a representative from Doghouse Rescuers of Pahrump, an all volunteer group whose mission was to rescue a lot of the at-large animals. They were finding now there was no place to put them as the rescues and shelter were full. They were taking in more and more dogs, and the volunteers had been putting their money in a pot to feed them, spay/neuter, etc. Ms. lori suggested putting a temporary moratorium on the rescues bringing in animals from out the County. Jason Mann from the Pahrump Animal Protection Association said the laws on the books now were not being enforced and he wondered how the new ones would be. Suzanne Zervantian said she had been a licensed veterinarian since 2003 and this bill was close to the worst she had seen. While she agreed the existing animal ordinances needed to be updated, it did not make sense to completely delete important ordinances or chapters in there and then add others that would not be enforced. The bill was full of contradictions and inconsistencies including conflicts with the NRS. Ms. Zervantian recommended rejecting the bill and reinstating an animal advisory committee for the purpose of updating Title 6. Dwight Lilly said if the Board was going to redo the laws he wanted to see strict enforcement. May 21, 2024 deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2024-06. Tim Bohannon said this item was not quite ready yet. The people had not seen or had enough time to review of the changes and he suggested holding off for one more session. Zuzana Kukol felt a lot of the bill was unconstitutional violations of a person's rights. It was also impossible to follow. She said the County was not enforcing the laws on some while discriminating against people like her who actually followed the laws. Robert Wann berg thought some of the revisions were positive steps to streamline the title. He noted the revisions placed a tremendous amount of responsibility on Animal Control such as animal cruelty investigations, permit approvals, and responding to calls for service. He wondered what was being done to ensure Animal Control had the necessary staffing, training, and certifications to do all of that. Linda Clark expressed her concerns with penalizing someone who took a dog in by taking them out of the home when their time there expired. She thought the dog should just be left there until another place could be found . She wondered why animals were coming in from Las Vegas when Pahrump could hardly handle what was there already.

Ms. Clark

also thought this item should be continued as the bill needed to be revised a little more. Gerald Butler said laws were killed when they were over-enforced. Also, most of the people enforcing laws were not checking the updated laws.

Commissioner Strickland

closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Carbone

said he had a hard time believing something was incorrect as it had gone through District Attorney's Office review. He asked Deputy District Attorney Michelle Nelson if there were some issues that needed to be looked at again.

Ms. Nelson

said she reviewed each section and did not find any legal issues. As to animal rescues and euthanasia, she said animal rescues were required to maintain records, and part of those records was the disposition of each animal which included euthanasia.

Commissioner Boskovich

asked for clarification of what she was talking about so the audience knew what was being discussed. He wanted to know at what point a perfectly good animal could be put down as he was not on board with that.

Ms. Nelson

said she was referring to section 6.15.040 at the bottom of page 25 relating to the maintenance of records for animal rescues. Subsection G discussed the disposition of each animal and the records that needed to be maintained, which included the euthanasia of any animal. She said one option was to simply strike that May 21, 2024 deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Bill No. 2024-06. language and not include that definition. Another option was to include a further sentence in 6.15.040.G.

Commissioner Cox

thought by leaving it hanging the people could do anything to the animal, including euthanasia . She was trying to do away with euthanasia.

Ms. Nelson

said her proposed additional language would be at no time shall an animal be euthanized unless found to be suffering from severe illness or injury and determined to be in the animal's best interest as determined by a licensed veterinarian. That would also maintain consistency with section 6.14.040. The Commissioners agreed with that change.

Commissioner Jabbour

thought there were some inconsistencies that needed to be clarified before this moved forward .

Commissioner Carbone

did not want to have something go out that people believed did not have things in it or that there were duplications.

Mrs. Dellinger

asked if Commissioner Carbone was suggesting that this be continued or started over.

Commissioner Strickland

suggested directing staff to come back with this document with the additional items.

Commissioner Boskovich

had no issue with that, but he reminded everybody that even if this document was accepted the way it was it was a living document that could be changed.

Commissioner Carbone

directed staff to bring this back with the changes discussed.

Mrs. Dellinger

recommended rejecting the bill and setting a public hearing with a new document.

Commissioner Jabbour

made a motion to reject; seconded by Commissioner Boskovich; 5 yeas. The Board was in recess until 2:15 p.m.

Sheriff McGill

was not present.

Commissioner Boskovich

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. May 21, 2024 8. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation on AP-24-2: An Appeal of the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission's decision to deny Waiver WV-23-22, an application to waive the requirement to install asphalt drive aisles for a proposed mini-storage facility, zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC), located at 2280 E. Basin Avenue, Pahrump, NV. Assessor's Parcel Number: 035-265-04. Josh Wheeler Revocable Trust - Property Owner; Josh Wheeler - Applicant. Assistant Planning Director Steve Osborne said this item went before the RPC in March, 2024, for a waiver of the requirement for asphalt paving for a proposed mini storage facility. The RPC voted 4-2 to deny it and the applicant filed an appeal.

Commissioner Boskovich

opened the public hearing. Russ Meads said this was one of those parking lot issues he thought an ad hoc committee and other committees had been working on alternatives to asphalting entire parking areas and drive aisles for low-impact projects, which this was. It was located on the alluvial fan so it had great rock underneath it as well. Mr. Meads said this would definitely qualify for a waiver and was possibly something that should be tracked to see if some information could be gained for adjusting the requirement for asphalt in the future. Harley Kulkin said the County used chip seals on its roads and requiring someone to use asphalt was a bit dubious. He thought the applicant should be allowed to chip seal it. Stephanie Hashimura was against granting the waiver as there was enough dust and dirt in Pahrump.

Commissioner Boskovich

closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Carbone

said the offer of chip seal and other alternatives had been made. Josh Wheeler said the Code was set to be taken away in the very remote areas soon and that was one of the reasons he was looking to get the waiver early so he could start his project. Storage unit facilities did not create a lot of traffic. On an average day there were ten cars or less. The parking area was set to be hard surfaced, but doing asphalt or chip seal would cost more than the entire project and was cost prohibitive. Mr. Wheeler said he met with Planning before he bought the property and was told getting a waiver was pretty simple. He would not have bought the property if it was something that was not possible. Given the fact that the Code was set to be taken away, it was a remote area, and the neighboring property which shared his fence was just approved for four waivers, including i one of these, in October, 2023, Mr. Wheeler felt with minimal traffic dust would not be created and the waiver would allow him to move forward with the project creating tax revenue. May 21, 2024 8. Cont'd. -10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation on AP-24-2.

Commissioner Jabbour

said one of his concerns was when the water came down from the fan it leveled. It was not totally sloped on the decline to go on Mr. Wheeler's property so there would be a drainage issue on his property from the neighboring U- Haul facility.

Mr. Wheeler

said he was told by CivilWise that part of their new plans for their lot included putting in a drainage control between their property and his property.

Commissioner Carbone

said this was for a waiver about pavement and the water issues would be part of their process. Commissioner Carbone asked if the waiver was for the parking area and the drive aisles.

Mr. Osborne

said this was only for the drive aisles. The actual parking lot for customers would have to be paved.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked Fire Chief Scott Lewis if he would be able to get his apparatus in the drive aisles in the event of an emergency. Chief Lewis said he had yet to see the plans specifically to address the width of the aisles, but the drive aisles would have to withstand the weight of the apparatus.

Commissioner Jabbour

asked Mr. Wheeler if he was aware of that, to which Mr. Wheeler responded they were told they could do a compaction on the type 2.

Commissioner Strickland

recused herself as she had a storage facility.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to reverse the decision of the RPC regarding the paving of the drive aisles in the particular area as he was off the areas where the most dust problems would be seen as he was on the fan with compacted rock so the area did not require it, and complying with the compaction; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour. Brian Kunzi suggested adding he could do the type 2 to appropriate compaction.

Commissioner Carbone

amended his motion to reverse the decision of the RPC regarding paving of the drive aisles in the particular area as he was off the areas where the most dust problems would be seen as he was on the fan with compacted rock so the area did not require it, and complying with the appropriate compaction of the type 2;

Commissioner Jabbour

Manse Road. Pahrump. NV. Assessor's Parcel Number: 044-201-10. Watson Family Trust- Property Owner. Bill Cookston. Civilwise Services, Inc. - Agent/Applicant. Steve Osborne said this item went to the RPG and they recommended approval.

Commissioner Strickland

recused herself from this item as she owned a mini storage facility.

Mr. Osborne

advised the applicant asked to withdraw their application as there were some issues with financing for the project.

Commissioner Boskovich

opened and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Boskovich

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. Purchasing and Contracts Administrator Honey Strozzi reviewed the staff report in the back-up. The bid from Oasis Waterplaygrounds, Inc., was not responsive or responsible. While the bid from CG&B Enterprises was complete, the total bid cost exceeded the budgeted amount. For those reason the recommendation was the Board reject both bids and provide further direction to staff. Ms. Strozzi said they were thinking about possibly re-bidding the project. Maryan Hollis asked if this project did not go forward if the grant T-Mobile provided would have to be returned. She thought maybe the scope of work needed to be changed or maybe it was the location. Karen Waldman said both bids seemed really high and she was curious as to what drove the prices. May 21, 2024 22.a. Discuss the bid proposals received for Bid No. TOP 2024-02 Simkins Park Splash Pad Construction; 22.b. Award Bid TOP 2024-02 Simkins Park Splash Pad Construction to CG&B Enterprises Inc. in the amount of $1,070,032.00, or Oasis WaterPlayGrounds Inc. in the amount of $250,000.00: 22.c. Approve or amend and approve the contract with selected bidder: 22.d. Fund to 10340 Grants and 25401 Pahrump Capital Proiects: or 22.e. Reiect bids and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with the proiect. Pat Minshall thought the Board could overcome Oasis because Oasis was the one she would recommend as she liked their design. The other projects they had completed were also pretty impressive. Tamie Pitman was concerned about the water bill, oversight, and the cost of maintenance. She also felt this would be a draw for child predators and vagrants. Tim Bohannon said one of the advantages of this was having activities for the children. He suggested finding some middle ground with the bids and taking some action. Ammie Nelson explained this would use recycled water. She thought children might be left unattended and unsupervised, so it should be mandatory that an adult accompany children between certain ages. As far as Petrack Park, Ms. Nelson pointed out there was a growing population of homeless there and needles had reportedly been found in the area so that might be another liability.

Ms. Strozzi

advised she received a phone call after the bids were opened from a contractor who did not bid the project because while there was the square footage to provide their design within, there was not enough information for them to design the project. She suggested staff could come up with a design and then re-bid.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to reject the bids and direct staff to be more definitive and specific in what was requested from the bidders; seconded by

Commissioner Carbone

. Jimmy Martinez explained the reason it was left open was because the splash pads could get expensive. Staff was trying to keep it at $250,000.00 with the construction and design.

Commissioner Cox

thought if the project could be brought down to a moderate cost and a bunch of the other fluffs thrown out then splash pads could be put in other parks also. She wondered if it could be done in-house May 21, 2024 22.a. Discuss the bid proposals received for Bid No. TOP 2024-02 Simkins Park Splash Pad Construction; 22.b. Award Bid TOP 2024-02 Simkins Park Splash Pad Construction to CG&B Enterprises Inc. in the amount of $1 1070,032.001 or Oasis WaterPlayGrounds Inc. in the amount of $250,000.00: 22.c. Approve or amend and approve the contract with selected bidder; 22.d. Fund to 10340 Grants and 25401 Pahrump Capital Projects; or 22.e. Reject bids and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with the project.

Mr. Martinez

said there was no one locally who could do this and town staff was not specialized in it. Also, because of the cost it had to be put out for bid. Brian Kunzi advised that by rejecting these bids the scope of the bids would have to be reduced as the Board could not re-bid what was originally done.

SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF PAHRUMP 18. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject the Final Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 for the Town of Pahrump. Helen Bae presented the final budget for the Town of Pahrump for FY2024-2025.

Commissioner Strickland

opened the public hearing. Maryan Hollis asked if the $1.2 million that was never transferred to the civic center brought it up to $9.3 million current available resources or was it included in that already. As to the 43 unfilled positions mentioned during the presentation, she wondered what filling half of those positions would do to the budget. She also noted there had been great strides in the overtime issue by allowing each department its own budget that they had to stay within. Tim Bohannon urged everyone to keep a focus on forecasting and growth. Ammie Nelson told the Commissioners to tighten the belts and stop overspending. Tamie Pitman said she did not see line items for the newly adopted impact fees and was also very concerned about the golf course. Harley Kulkin said when the golf course came before the prior Commissioners he suggested creating an improvement district. He made that suggestion again so people who wanted it to stay open paid for it. Karen Waldman asked if overtime dollars increased retirement and if Nye was a use it or lose it county.

Mrs. Bae

said the total number for the fairgrounds with the $1.2 million that would be transferred this year was around $8.6 million. As far as the unfilled positions, she said they were already budgeted, but it would be wonderful to lock down half as that would equate to savings. As to the golf course, Mrs. Bae said she spoke with the golf course management company and they anticipated only using half of what was budgeted. Also, more golf course fees were being collected and that was anticipated to rise steadily for the upcoming year. May 21, 2024 18.

Commissioner Strickland

opened the public hearing. Tim Bohannon wanted to make sure the public understood the encumbrances that came through here did not really happen much before. That was a highly important aspect to control overspending and the budgets.

Commissioner Strickland

closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to adopt the final budget for FY2024-2025 for Nye County; seconded by Commissioner Boskovich; 5 yeas. SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF PAHRUMP 19. For Possible Action - Presentation, discussion and deliberation to: 19.a. Approve, amend and approve or reject an amended Plan of Development (POD) for the Pahrump Fairgrounds Property: and 19.b. Submit a request to amend the Plan of Development on file with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the Pahrump Fairgrounds Property. Tim Sutton presented the amended plan of development for the Pahrump Fairgrounds property contained in the back-up. He explained recently an opinion was received from BLM regarding the an existing reversionary interest on the property that would prevent the County from developing the fairgrounds property or using it for commercial purposes, which was how the County would get the cash to be able to do any of the plans. In that opinion the BLM stated if the County could lease the property and guarantee that money would directly or indirectly benefit the property then the County could proceed with the lease. The plan included an entire swath of land that would be commercial for box stores or any large retailers that would want to come into the area. If the Board approved the plan, it would be submitted to BLM as an attachment to the letter seeking approval of it. May 21, 2024 SITTING AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF PAHRUMP 19. Cont'd. - For Possible Action - Presentation, discussion and deliberation to: 19.a. Approve, amend and approve or reject an amended Plan of Development (POD) for the Pahrump Fairgrounds Property; and 19.b. Submit a request to amend the Plan of Development on file with the Bureau of Land Management {BLM) for the Pahrump Fairgrounds Property.

Commissioner Boskovich

assumed the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. Harley Kulkin said the Board needed to rethink this. He was against what was presented and thought it was time for a fairgrounds development advisory board. Maryan Hollis also thought the Board needed to rethink this. She wondered if the benefits from the leases Mr. Sutton talked about would be guaranteed as he said. She suggested using what was indicated in the plan as a senior center as an adult daycare facility instead because of the aging population. Ms. Hollis wondered how much the open outdoor venue would be used given the weather. Ammie Nelson said the original plans included equestrian trails, which she did not think were needed now because there were SLM trails for that. There was also a nine-hole golf course which was no longer needed. She liked the sports additions and suggested putting a sports complex in the front with massive parking. Ms. Nelson thought the layout was a little bit awkward. Tim Bohannon said the acreage of this site was brought to his attention as president of Nevada Standardbred Association several years ago. The impediment was being able to go on as a for-profit business. They were a not-for-profit, but they had for profit interests as well. If the public was open to having a five-eighths mile race track for harness racing and quarters that would give them an opportunity. Melody Keith did not understand how this project on Highway 160 could proceed when NDOT had not given permission yet. She expressed concern with how the traffic would affect residents in Mountain Falls. Suzie Hertz did not understand how the $9.3 million would be spent and hoped there would be more community input for that. She also did not think this was a fairground and suggested the Board look into that a little more seriously. Robert Adams said this project had been going on for close to 20 years and asked the Board to vote yes.

Commissioner Boskovich

asked how many acres the commercial strip was, to which Mr. Sutton responded 117. May 21, 2024 19. Cont'd. - For Possible Action - Presentation, discussion and deliberation to: 19.a. Approve, amend and approve or reject an amended Plan of Development {POD} for the Pahrump Fairgrounds Property; and 19.b. Submit a request to amend the Plan of Development on file with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM} for the Pahrump Fairgrounds Property. Russ Meads spoke about the cost of the infrastructure needed to support the project. The cost to develop the Spring Mountain Raceway across the street was a little over $21 million to just get to raw property ready to build. He said the highway frontage property was really the valuable property and was the property that investors would be interested in rather than the County using taxes. Mr. Meads encouraged the Board to take this opportunity with what was presented today and move it as fast as possible before they changed their minds.

Commissioner Strickland

said this gave the County the potential to do something, which it never had before.

Commissioner Carbone

asked how locked into the plan the County was.

Mr. Sutton

did not know the answer to that question, but when the County had submitted the plan in the past it seemed like it had been a pretty easy process.

Commissioner Boskovich

asked Stephani Elliott what the timeline for the grant for the fairgrounds was and if it was not used if the County could return it with no penalties.

Ms. Elliott

said the most recent grant awarded would be effective July 1, 2024, and with it being considered a construction grant they usually allowed two years. She fully anticipated having the electrical hook-up go out to bid and a secondary well installed within that period.

Commissioner Cox

pointed out 117 acres was about a quarter of the property and she would like to narrow that down a little as it had always been meant to be a sports park. As far as leasing the property, there had been over 600 houses approved for that area which would bring in more tax dollars and traffic as well as a need for stores.

Commissioner Strickland

made a motion to approve the POD for the Pahrump Fairgrounds property and submit the letter to request the plan of development be changed on file with the BLM; seconded by Commissioner Carbone; 5 yeas.

LLC - Applicant. 14. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to adopt. amend and adopt. or reject Nye County Bill No. 2024-04: A Bill proposing to approve a Development Agreement between Nye County and Gridliance West. LLC. for the Beatty Transmission Line Upgrade Project: and providing for the severability. constitutionality, and effective date thereof: and other matters properly relating thereto. May 21, 2024 15. 10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reiect Nye County Bill No. 2024-05: A Bill proposing to approve a Development Agreement between Nye County and Gridliance West, LLC, for the Core Transmission Line Upgrade Project: and providing for the severability, constitutionality, and effective date thereof: and other matters properly relating thereto. Steve Osborne explained the applicant was proposing a new electrical transmission line. There were two separate special use permits (SUP), one for the Beatty area and one for Pahrump, as well as two development agreements that went along with the SUPs. Scott Whittemore, appearing on behalf of GridLiance West, and Ken Hice, project manager with GridLiance West, were present. Mr. Whittemore said this was the fourth public meeting in one way or another that this project had and they had done their absolute best to communicate often, early, and as transparently as possible. He explained Gridliance was a transmission company. It did not own, operate, or develop solar, and the funding for this project was not contingent on any solar being developed. This was a regional transmission system that increased reliability and capacity for Pahrump all the way up to Beatty, and hundreds of millions of dollars had been invested in critical infrastructure for this project. They had also done their level best to do purchase and sale agreements up front and had done no condemnations. This additional capacity would allow businesses to grow. Mr. Whittemore said it was really important that they used existing transmission corridors so they tried to site the project next to the existing systems as much as possible to limit the impact and disturbance to the local communities. The economic benefits included jobs during construction, sales, and property tax revenue. The project was slated to begin construction in 2026. Lastly,

Mr. Whittemore

discussed the $5 million special use permit offset fee which had been created, which would be payable at the time the permits were issued.

Commissioner Strickland

opened the public hearing. Harley Kulkin said he was not aware of any other meetings about this project except this one even though he owned four properties in the affected area. He wondered if there would be two or one more line. He said in 1963 when power was brought to the valley a lot of the power lines were run without getting the legal access to do it. Mr. Kulkin said he was not against the project, but he wanted to know what was in it for him and the community. He asked the Board to not make a decision today as more input was needed. Erika Gerling read a letter from the Beatty Town Board requesting this public hearing be continued for the development agreement to allow time for a joint review of it. The town felt the distribution of the one-time special use offset fee of $5 million was not equitable to the communities impacted by the project. She referred to section 2 of the development agreement which stated there were insufficient public services, facilities, and infrastructure within the project area. The town wanted some clarification on what May 21, 2024 12. Cont'd. -10:00 a.m. - For Possible Action - Public Hearing, discussion and deliberation on ETSU-24-3. 13.

Carolyn Allen, chair of the Amargosa Valley Town Board, said the town supported the project, but she asked that item 6.2 the of the development agreement be looked at, which was about the $5 million. Amargosa's and Beatty's share of that was $30,000.00 each, but they would be shouldering the costs of the volunteer fire departments and the very limited EMS. There was no ambulance service in Amargosa and while Beatty had an ambulance service, they were strained from the mine. Ms. Allen said a dollar figure needed to be put together. She asked if the project could move forward with section 6.2 being done separately for both towns. Tim Bohannon wondered what length of time the $5 million was supposed to cover. Tamie Pitman thought rather than taking a lump sum the County should think about reduced carrying costs for the line. Mike Fender felt the end product was going to be the solar farms regardless of what the County did about the transmission lines. Russ Meads thought the County was very lucky to be sitting in the middle of a project of this magnitude that would produce residual income for connections forever. He encouraged the Board to look at the value of this for the community long-term.

Mr. Ahian

, speaking on behalf of Sonja Bullagio, his wife, said she did not agree to pass electricity through her property, which was parcel number 042-033-12. Gerald Schulte said he was for solar and the transmission line, but he wanted to make sure the County would get something for it. He wanted some guarantees and contingencies in writing. Dave Petrie talked about all the growth and development that was coming. He encouraged the Board to move forward with this as he thought it was a great thing for the community. May 21, 2024 12.

Commissioner Strickland

closed the public hearing. Planning Director Brett Waggoner stated this upgrade was needed and was integral to the fairgrounds plans. It was also a well known fact the southern end of town needed infrastructure upgrades. As to promises, he explained that was what a development agreement was. That was a written guarantee and it would not develop without fulfilling that agreement. Regarding the allocations in section 6.2., Commissioner Strickland said she assumed the Board would not like to be put in a position to do allocations at this time but a later date, which would allow them to move on with the development agreement.

Mr. Waggoner

said a draft was just uploaded into the back-up today that had language that did not allocate specific amounts. The language was it would be at the discretion of the Board. Brian Kunzi asked if this was part of the development agreement or if it was an opportunity for the Commissioners to change the allocation not dependent upon the development agreement as there was a big difference between the two.

Commissioner Carbone

said it was written in the agreement what the allocation would be and that was what the Commissioners wanted to remove. Bob Sweetin said that was absolutely at the Board's pleasure.

Commissioner Strickland

asked if everyone was agreeable to striking references to any amount of money other than the $5 million.

Mr. Sweetin

thought any amount of money referenced in section 6 was probably the easiest way to make that clear on the record . May 21, 2024 12.

Commissioner Carbone

said it should be each section in the development agreements that referenced allocations. Brian Kunzi wanted to make sure it was clear that the Board could allocate the money later. He also asked that the sections be identified for the record.

Mr. Sweetin

said the section in the core agreement would be 6.4.b.

Commissioner Carbone

said the sections in the Beatty agreement would be 6.2.a., 6.2.b., 6.3.a., and 6.3.b. In the core agreement the sections would be 6.4.b. and 8.4.

Mr. Sweetin

was not clear on what the specific language in 8.4. was.

Commissioner Strickland

did not think section 8.4. was part of this.

Commissioner Carbone

made a motion to amend and adopt sections 6.2. and 6.3. in the Beatty agreement replacing the dollar figures with to be determined at a later date, and in the core agreement section 6.4. removing any dollar figures and replace it with to be determined at a later date; seconded by Commissioner Jabbour; 5 yeas.

Commissioner Strickland

noted section 1 on page 3 of the resolution read the resolution shall be known and may be cited as the 2024 Road Construction/Repair Sales Tax Resolution and it was also to let the voters decide.

Commissioner Jabbour

thought with the way Exhibit 1 was written people would stop reading after the words imposed tax. He suggested it be changed to read shall Nye County increase the rate of one-half of one percent of the imposed tax upon retailers gross receipts, etc., to be applied for road maintenance. Brian Kunzi wondered if it should say how the money would be used first and then talk about what the tax was.

Commissioner Jabbour

made a motion to amend Exhibit 1, Nye County Ballot Question 2, to read "In order to be applied for road maintenance shall Nye County increase the rate of one-half of one percent, the imposed tax on retailers of the gross receipts of any retailer from the sale of all tangible personal property sold at retail or stored, used, or otherwise consumed in the County;" seconded by Commissioner Carbone; 5 yeas.
