Commissioner Koenig
I have been getting a lot of complaints about patching holes and two weeks later the hole is back again. I understood if the machines were used correctly that should never happen. Beau Goti The Dura patcher is a really great machine. It sprays down a layer of tag, which is supposed to bind the patch to the existing surface. It does a really good job. I get a lot of these calls as well. I think what it is, it’s not the patch that’s coming out. In most cases it’s just continuing outside of the patch where the road failure is already. The whole road could be failing. We can’t go in and overlay the whole road with patch material. That would be considered a chip seal or another kind of road surface reclamation. In most cases, it’s not really the patch popping out, but it is just the continuing road failures off of that patch.
Commissioner Koenig
So, in other words, if you pack your hole and then the hole gets bigger it looks like the patch is failing something like that Beau Gott Correct. I’ve noticed that throughout the years, and a lot of people do think that they do pop out, but we didn’t have the rain a couple weeks ago. If the patch hasn’t completely cured and dried up, there’s a chance it’s going to pop out. On another note, we do also do the cold mix patching. It does not hold up as well, but we are changing our strategies for our pothole patching. Squaring out the holes better and just doing a more quality patch rather than just a blow and go. Throw some cold mix in it and move on. We’re getting better and better as we move along
Commissioner Jabbour
what Pahrump is experiencing for the past few weeks is what up here we have been experiencing for years. I am glad Director Boiling is still there. Your crew was here for multiple reasons, but more specifically a few meetings ago we had concerns from our senior citizens that live here in Tonopah and Round Mountain, and that visit out of Esmeralda. And their concern was the Senior Center parking lot. And so, I want to thank you and the staff as well as buildings and grounds, William Allen and his staff, for working together and addressing the situation and those concerns in the parking lot. Not brand-new parking lot, but a safer parking lot for the seniors that are March 4, 2025 9.

If you discuss this with the clerks and everybody else, if you rotate people, it creates havoc; they get used to one person, everything works like it should work and everyone is happy, if you stick someone else in the middle of it everything changes. March 4, 2025 12. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to adopt, amend and adopt, or reject Nye County Resolution No. 2025-08: A Resolution Reaffirming Support of Nye County’s Non-Sanctuary Status.
Commissioner Boskovich
Commissioners, last meeting there was a vote on the FAST/MOST program. I have two questions that I would like answered in an e-mail from Karyn and or DJ. If we ask for somebody’s immigration status and then if they are proven to be illegals, whether or not they’re reported to ICE. And before I would ever support this, I would need to make sure that those answers are provided. And that’s partially why this item is coming back, so there’s no doubt where we stand on it.
Commissioner Bayne
the left came up with something that you’re not. and we can call ourselves non sanctuary county. I support that, I’m fine with that. I just want to make a quick clarification. When you’re arrested, you’re reported to ICE, and the issue is, if you’re not arrested, we don’t know. And when there was questioning here last month, and I have a transcript right here with me questioning the program FAST/MOST program, under your prearrest diversion, would you report them to ice? The answer was I would have to talk to my supervisor to see what the appropriate course of action would be in that scenario as that has not yet occurred. So, this program has been going on for a few years it has not yet occurred that they’re reporting to ICE. So, we’ve had two things going on in the last couple of years. One we’ve been a non-sanctuary county and two, we have not reported to ICE through this program. The sheriff has nothing to do with this program. This is passed by us, we have to work with it. But he’s not passing, he doesn’t have the decision to pass or not. Then, the second part I said,” you ask for immigration status, correct?” And the program respondents said, “no we ask for where they were born as part of a checklist for reentry.” So, that’s the issue for me, it’s really not that hard. I’m sure we’ll get some circular discussions, really don’t know, and maybe about 10-15 minutes of this, but it really, that’s all you need to know. You can check the transcript. You can check the meeting minutes whenever they come out if they’re in there, you can go watch the video on the county website and that’s really it. Under your prearrest version, what that means is it doesn’t get to the sheriff. You’re diverting away from arrest. It doesn’t become a seizure by the sheriff, so to ask the sheriff hey, what happens if no one ever comes to your office? What could he possibly say? Well, I’ll tell you exactly what’s going to happen if no one ever gets into custody of my police officers, it really doesn’t make any sense for him to comment, because the whole point of the program is they never go into the custody of the police. If they did, they’d go up, they be reported to ICE and that’s always been my issue. I think that’s
Commissioner Boscovich’s
issue. I believe that’s what he said and that’s all I have and with that, I do yield back.
Commissioner Strickland
moved to adopt resolution no. 2025-08, a resolution reaffirming support of Nye County’s non-sanctuary status
Sheriff McGill
this was requested by the southern Nye County search and rescue organization, which is under our umbrella. However, they are a 501-C3 organization. They have been maintaining the registration and insurance on these vehicles, which as you’re aware can be somewhat costly. And again, they’re nonprofits so they’re bound by what they’re able to get and donation. They approached me and asked if the county would be willing to accept financial and ownership responsibility for these two vehicles, meaning that the county was going to be taking over the registration and insurance. So I checked into that. This is going to be a small expense, I don’t have the backup with me but I remember seeing that it was a minor expense and according to the information I received, fleet was in favor of this.
Commissioner Strickland
motions to accept the donation as written in the agenda.
Commissioner Koenig
& Commissioner Jabbour — second
Commissioner Strickland
Commented on how fast the work was done.
Commissioner Jabbour
I wanted to thank William Allen, and manager, you can relay the message, I want to thank him and his staff for making the decision, taking care of this. What I’ve never agreed with but I understand the policy, I understand the procedure is when we had our disasters in the past few years, with flooding in Pahrump and FEMA said you can’t move the trees out of the middle of the road we have to come down and we have to do this and we have to inspect and we have to assess etcetera. and it absolutely creates an unsafe road, putting all of us in danger that are driving on those roads. And we have to do it for safety first and foremost. So again, thank you William Allen and your staff for taking care of the county and the assessor’s office so quickly, thank you. 16. Report regarding the repayment of a temporary Interfund loan in the amount of $5,780,000 from the Nye County General Fund 10101 to Nye County Grants Fund 10340 pursuant to NAC 354.290 and Nye County Resolution 2024-06. Helen Bae This is actually a report. The action has been taken. We were to pay back the interfund loan to the grants fund by April 1st It has been a year already and I’m confirming that it has hit our general fund, and that money has been transferred to the grants fund in return. 14. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a focused audit of the mandatory tax on revenues from rental of transient lodging: imposition and collection; schedule for payment; penalty and interest for late payment for all components of Nye County to be prepared by Dan McArthur
Commissioner Jabbour
I will abstain from this action due to potential conflict of interest.
Assistant Manager Dellinger
Brief timeline of events leading up to this item. in October of 2024 the treasurer was made aware of late penalties that were not being assessed on various transient lodging establishments throughout Nye County. I was made aware of that, and I was also made aware of an investigation opened by the Sheriffs Office, which resulted in a request for an audit. I did receive confirmation from Lieutenant Williams on December 4th that he did put that request in. I immediately contacted our March 4, 2025 14. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding a focused audit of the mandatory tax on revenues from rental of transient lodging: imposition and collection; schedule for payment; penalty and interest for late payment for all components of Nye County to be prepared by Dan McArthur Cont... auditor Dan McArthur because we were conducting our own Nye County audit for fiscal year ending 2024. We asked the auditor if he could please focus on Nye County audits and then we would bring forward an item to address the audit for the room tax fund. We are requesting that this audit is conducted on all components of Nye County, which is Amargosa Valley town, Beatty town, Gabbs town, Manhattan town, Round Mountain Pahrump town and Tonopah town. I will say that this has a not to exceed amount which the original amount I do need to make a correction to instead of 39,800 its 29,800. We have adopted the audit and submitted it to DTAX, and now we are able to receive Dan M cArth U r. Manager Waggoner Many questions have come via e-mail, via public comment. I’m sure you’re going to hear this again. Does this audit have to do with that letter? It only does in respect that it is included. This audit wasn’t prompted by that letter. This audit was already in the works and planned prior to the letter being received by the town of Tonopah. Which didn’t get received until after I was actually appointed, so that is why we didn’t want to include as the backup because that is not the reason for this audit. It is an audit that needs to be done on this whole entire system.
Commissioner Boskovich
Can I can I ask what prompted that. You’re saying there was an audit needed on the whole entire system. Where did that come from? Manager Waggoner That was because of the discovery that was made back in October, as stated by assistant county manager, that prompted an investigation, which then prompted a request from the Sheriffs Department of an audit.
Commissioner Strickland
Wasn’t that prompted by treasurer Raelyn Powers? Manager Waggoner — Yes.
Commissioner Strickland
The audit team that we’ve been working every Thursday and have stopped while during budget, this is brought up back then. At that time that’s how it was determined through assistant manager, who was manager then, determined that that needed to wait until we had this audit completed. So that discussion was well in advance of the letter from Tonopah. And that’s why I believe the assistant manager gave you that timeline, so that you’ve realized that this contract that we’re looking at was what was anticipated well in advance
Commissioner Strickland
Directed assistant manager to work on the revision Erika mentioned.
Commissioner Strickland
Motion to approve the focused audit of the revenues from rentals of transient lodging by Dan McArthur in a not to exceed amount of $29,800.00

Commissioner Strickland
as far as the splash pad, the last update on 2/25 from Jimmy Martinez stated the splash pad was out for engineered drawings and looking for a qualified bidder. Manager Waggoner public records request being processed; gathering information and will be released as soon as it is done; the grant is still intact
Commissioner Boskovich
thank you all for joining us. There was a question about why some of us on our phones sometimes, most of the time that happens is because I had forgotten something and asking for assistance or staff is providing something; just the course of business
21. ADJOURN
Commissioner Boskovich
adjourned the meeting. APPROVED this 17 day ATTEST: OLU/1L/ 2025.
Chair Nye
I am requesting this to be part of the public record. I was recently made aware of missing monies in the Town of Tonopah from actions over a four-year period of time wherein independent decisions were made at the Nye County Treasurer’s office to waive funds that rightfully beLonged to the Town of Tonopah. This happened under the previous county manager’s appointment but now the new County Manager is charged with addressing this issue. Someone is responsible for making sure that any wrongdoing is properly addressed to the Letter of the Law, and that is the sheriff and the D.A. I have requested public information from the sheriff’s department regarding this issue and am awaiting a satisfactory response. WILL the sheriff and the D.A. guarantee that a full investigation into this matter is done and prosecute aLL criminaL actions regardless of the status, emptoyment or position of anyone involved? It is in the public’s interest to know that we can trust our process to uphold the law. I am also very concerned about the processes in our county regarding the Treasurer’s office and how things are done. If it’s a matter of not knowing what to do, what is being done to assure that this Level of malfeasance or oversight isn’t being repeated on a daily basis? I am including a copy of the letter that all of this Board has received that needs to be part of the public record in the interest of transparency and honesty. If anyone would Like a copy of this Letter, please see me. Karen Waldman BOCC 030425 InitiaL Public Comment Exhibiti Good morning board of county commissioners, yes I am here again, yes my CPU was approved, and yes I got my Town of Pahrump business license. Lets talk about these standard conditions of approvaL: 1 )Yes I wilt comply with all. county state federal laws, rules & regulations as long as they don’t violate any of my constitutional rights. 2)Of course, alt animals will be spoiled to death, I treat my animals better then I treat most peopte.3) No one, no matter what agency you are with, has any right to enter my property without the proper warrant paperwork period. I have no problem taking a respectable phone call from whomever & explaining to me the issue & make an appointment. As tong as I don’t suspect a bogus complaint. I address this because Katherin Michil.ini was subjected to this treatment, some horse women were pissed off at her made a bogus complaint, about stolen horse, mistreated animals so on & so forth. I watched this woman lose everything over petty horse women. 4)Annual inspections, I realLy don’t have a problem with as long as an appointment is made, as of right now I am a self-care facility, so the owners of stalled horses take care of their own animals, stalls, feed & tack sheds. The appointment for inspection would need to be coordinated with all stallers. 5)As far as the building & where it is placed, aLready past aLL inspections during the reconstruction process in pLanning & zoning. In-fact the approved building paperwork was submitted at least 3 times & was used in your compLaint against me. 6)Is just an excuse to close business 7)Zoning was already approved and stamped off on byA[bert Camacho so another excuse to cause issues for business. 8)Don’t these departments communicate w[th each other? I was approved on Feb 12, the county already had my paperwork for a business License but I had submit again which I did on Feb 18 received my Town of Pahrump Business License Feb 19 but as of Feb 21 it did not show in the portal so I upLoaded it myself. 9)of course its my responsibility to comply but if these departments don’t communicate properly it makes it hard to follow 10)1 believe Nye county is over reaching & violating our constitution rights in this process 1 1)don’t really plan on selling & all, my property & belongings are already in a trust with county accessor & treasurer 12) another over reach to take away CPU or license whenever they see fit 1 3)Does this stand for alt businesses or just the ones they keep trying to cLose. It’s a shame that all departments in nye county don’t spend as much time working with its citizens to open successful businesses as they do in harassing, stocking, destroying & closing them.

You can’t collect past funds from something nonexistent. WiLL anyone eLse be required to make restitution? Tonopah had to do without these funds for four years it may not sound like much but I’m sure they could have used it for a number of things they did without.. Is this a personneL issue and if so, what will be done to correct or address this so it doesn’t happen again? This is a question to ONLY address a process, not individual personnel. What exactly IS the current process for the collection of taxes and late fees and penalties? The letter cLearLy speLls out what the Ordinance requires, but how is it being adhered to? WHO is making sure that the county isn’t losing money through oversight or perhaps, malfeasance? Are there changes that need to be made to avoid anything like this happening again? If so, when.wi[l these be made? . . . Do we have any 2-man controLs in pLace managing our money? Are there any restrictions on who can sign a check such as amaximum dolLar amount or do. aLL checks just require one signature regardless of amount? . This time1 the toss exceeded $18,000 that we know of— what else wILL be discovered:in this audit? . . . That this happened over a four-year period of time tells me that we have a very serious problem that heeds to be fixed now. I expect the D.A. to understand that IF there was any purposeful wrongdoing, the taxpayers here need to see justice. Karen WaLdman BOCC 030425 Agenda item 14 ExhiNt 5 I am requesting this to be made part of the public record. I was told that the January 8, 2025 Letter from the Tonopah Town Manager that I submitted earlier is notthe impetus for this audit, but I do NOT understand why itwasn’t included in the backup. Why wouldn’t this be included it the letter is about a concern with someone making decisions to waive room tax Late fees and penalties and this agenda item is about considering an audit of room taxes? What is the driving force for you to request this audit? Why room tax dollars and not other departments such as the road department or HHS? Whywasthere no backup forthis agenda item? Shouldn’tthe public knowwhatthe costto do this audit will be before it’s discussed? Will this audit include ALL of the correspondence and tax statements generated by the Treasurer’s office either by the Treasurer or any employee? Is there a paper trail that indicates the date an establishment’s tax was due that matches the date it was received, that matches a deposit for that date, and IF it was received after that date, is there a statement that shows what part of the taxes submitted were base taxes and what part were any fees or penalties? Is there a separate category for late fees and penalties to track these? Will these all be made available to the public without redactions? If the audit isn’t going to provide actuaL detailed information that creates a compLete roadmap for what the tax collection entailed, you are wasting our money. I want the real story as to why late fees and penalties for room tax dollars in Tonopah or ANYWHERE in Nye were arbitrarily waived. If you vote against spending money on an audit, how does Tonopah get restitution for the missing $18,000? We aLl know the coverup is almost ALWAYS worse than the crime. Would Tonopah have to sue the county to secure these funds, and if so, what will that cost the county? Does the DA represent Tonopah the same time he is representing perhaps county officiaLs who may be involved in this? If you approve the audit and in the case of Tonopah, it’s discovered that money is owed as a result of actions taken in the Treasurer’s office, wilt each of the 15 places of lodging that were given waivers have to pay what they owe? Wilt that include the increased fees accrued over the past four years? 1 +; TONOPAHL nevada 1’l”J’’ Town of Tonopah Town Office Telephone: (775) 482-6336 140 S. Main Street Fax: (775) 482-3778 P.O.

I have a question forthe sheriff— IFwe are decLaring ourselves to be a “NON-Sanctuary” county, does that mean that every person arrested witi be checked for citizenship status on the computers in the cars or when they are processed? If individuals being detained are discovered to be iLlegal. aliens, what is the process? Is ICE contacted immediately? Do you have to hold them until ICE picks them up even if the initial stop wasn’t something that warranted being heLd in jaiL? How much are you planning on cooperating with ICE?
