comment will be for all matters off the agenda. Public comment must be limited to matters that are within the jurisdiction and control of the Board of County Commissioners. Action will not be taken on the matters considered during this period until specifically included on an agenda as an action item (FIRST). Joeseph Opatik Lakefield Golf Course holds events and tournaments that occur monthly to connect the facility with the community. We do varieties of fundraisers for different local charities. We have events and food specials on holidays. We can be found on social media, and we post in the local paper. Diane Southworth —At Nye Community Coalition there will be the annual, free community Thanksgiving dinner held on, Thanksgiving Day from llam-2pm. There is a general coalition meeting tomorrow and rural Nevada Medicaid information will be given. We have various community outreach programs and fliers for anyone in need of assistance. Jodi Reddington Utility challenged lots owners are burdened with challenges. Current zoning makes the land unusable. The practical solution is to update the zoning. By not implementing the zone change, it’s equal to taking away landowners’ rights and freedoms to use their land. You do have the ability to make zoning changes but stated action will I Page November 18th, 2025, Page 2 not be taken unless it is on the agenda. Please put this zoning change on the next agenda so that productive discussion can begin. Richard Goldstein Thank you, everyone that attended our Veteran’s Day Ceremony. Civil Air Patrol worked for the first time as our honor guard and the kids were fantastic. We appreciate the Executive Golf Course that held a fundraiser for us. Helene Williams Petrack Park is not for sale. We don’t need box stores there. Michael David Garcia I give thanks and praise to this board for the opportunity to express and readdress: no state or county can create its own alternative legislation and substitute it for the guarantees of the constitution. #1 predatory practices traffic of constitutional wages is the betrayal of natural rights. I’m coming to you and discussing article I section I 0 specifically emolument violations of God-given rights. I had my Catholic vote cancelled withoutjurisdiction lasttime. It’s notjurisdiction that determines the case; it’s the case that determines jurisdiction. We have a severe problem here. You cancelled my speech on USC instead of USC 15. Daryll Lackey We all have abilities, but we don’t have any desire to explore the abilities we have because of our perception. People behind me want you to help with their problems. As an elected official, you don’t care anymore and make the best deals for yourselves. You don’t have the desire to take care of people; you desire to take care of people that have a lot of money. Once money is away from it, you have no desire to do anything that’s wonderful or good. Serena Otteson —At Bishop Gorman HS November 22nd, at 2PM, the Tonopah Muckers football team are playing againsttheAlamo Panthers forthe IA State Championship. We have a state send off this Friday, November 21st at 11 :30 to show them support. Lorraine Gilbert The water districts undevelopable parcel working group have been looking into how other counties, towns, and states address these undevelopable issues. What we found is, it comes down to allowing variances. Ordinance #528, Nye County Code Title 17, pursuant to NRS 244.19 states that the Nye County Board of County Commissioners is authorized to amend the Nye County code. Whereas Title 17 was adopted pursuant the planning and zoning act of the State of Nevada to preserve the quality of air and water resources, promote the conservation of open spaces, protection of other natural and scenic resources from unreasonable impairment and many other reasons. The most important of all is the purpose to ensure that development on land is commensurate with the character and physical limitations ofthe land. Code 17.04.925 is to create procedures for temporary use permits for specific use of land or activities for short term limited periods of time on lot or parcel. Patricia Robb Within NRS chapters 244 and 278, it states counties must balance development property rights and public needs. They can’t regulate to the point of making lots permanently useless without offering pathways for development or compensation. 2Page November 18th, 2025, Page 3 Updating zoning where utilities were expected but never developed would benefit the entire Pahrump community. Nye County benefits: reduces complaints and code violations from unpermitted living, shows leadership and responsiveness when you take action to correct a long-term failure, does not require public infrastructure investment. Environmental benefits: State approved systems including on site wastewater systems regulated under NC 444 permitted water haul storage, composting incinerator toilet, solar and other engineered solutions are restricted only because the VR zoning is outdated. Updating the zoning brings Nye county’s land use rules into alignment with existing state law and prevents groundwater pollution caused by illegal or improvised waste systems. Community benefits: opens the path to affordable housing, encourages legal and safe housing, reduces homelessness and squatting, generates more business for local retailers, while benefiting the overall economic health of Pahrump. Practical and legal benefits; acknowledges that traditional utilities will never reach many lots, avoids future lawsuits for regulatory takings or deception, aligns with Nevada’s SB-150 mandate to allow off grid housing, creates eligibility for state and federal programs. Risk reduction; brings off grid users into safe permitted systems, improves emergency response by recognized new dwellings, prevents legal disputes over unusable taxed land. Thomas Santanastasio I hear that the County may sell adjoining lots to zombie lot holders. I own one lot that is .192 acres, and I need five more lots to put a well on that property. This process may take a number of years so a community well would speed up the process. I’m asking you to do the right thing and start answering us. Andy Lucero I’ve owned a lot for several decades. The zoning is very difficult. We need a solution and pathway forward. 3.Commissioner/Manager Comments (This item is limited to announcements, brief discussions of public comments, correction of factual inaccuracies, direction to staff, or topics proposed for future board meetings.

We made a new appointmentto our department. Our Director of Employee Wellness is Nina, a rescue dog. Kristi Siegmund The Sheriff and his department adopted Nina as their dispatch dog. Other departments have jumped on board with Paw Assistance for the week that the DA’s Office started. We have a dozen runs in the backyard, play yard, and outdoor kennels. We have had a ton of volunteers come in to help with this enrichment. We’ve developed an orientation, a training program, procedures around communication, and helping volunteers who come in to help.

The back of the shelter looks great. How much has been spent so far? Kristi Siegmund - $1700.

Commissioner Koenig

I worked with Renee Morales, who donated tons of rock, time, and patience to get it started. That’s continued with the Sheriff’s Office helping us with inmates to come over and help us. You don’t have to spend a lot of money; there is free or close to free help. Zoning is not the answer. Great Basin Water Company will not allow you to do what you want to do, no matter how I zone it. There are other problems that people don’t seem to realize. We have a committee put together to see if we can figure out and solve the problem.

Commissioner Jabbour

Public Works has been working diligently to clean up the different streets due to rain. This is not the first time and won’t be the last time that we will be overwhelmed with flooding. Please don’t drive through the rivers coming over 160. Turn around and take alternative routes. Please don’t place yourself or others in danger by driving over rivers.

As a reminder, this project will be to install an 8-inch water line between the two wells to allow access for water service connections throughout the fairgrounds. Looking for approval to submit.

Public Comment Tammy Pitman CBDG grants seem to be a hole in the ground that the County throws money into. It appears our County is not interested in things that benefit our kids. We should put grants forward that would expand our parks. Close Public Comment

Commissioner Koenig

The purpose of this grant is to ensure that the two wells get hooked together. That way we have water for all the various courts with grass. It will be a green park once water gets out there from the two wells using the money from this grant.

Commissioner Strickland

for the specific purpose of towinglimpounding or otherwise removing “RVs or campers or trailers or other vehicles” illegally parked on the land of another without authorization by the owner of the land. This will only authorize funding and will only authorize removal of RVsltrailers on the land of another, with express permission from the owner of the land that the RVsltrailers do not belong to them. All properllegal paperwork will be followed during that process. This only authorizes funding.

Public Comment Thomas Santanastasio I called the Sheriffs Department to have a small trailer removed. I had to call a junkyard to come and take the vehicles away. What is the procedure? Richard Goldstein Why is the county or town putting up this money to remove these vehicles? This is known as a private property impound and the person responsible for towing these vehicles is the owner of the vehicles, not the town, or county. There’s no reason my money should go towards removing these vehicles. Michael David Garcia —What a gorgeous day to remind our developers and our real estate agents about property rights. No State or County can create their own alternative legislation to substitute for the guarantees of the constitution. Close Public Comment

Commissioner Koenig

What is the money going to be used for, exactly and going directly where?

Commissioner Bayne

This is for funding. Like you voted for $450,000 to change all the locks in the county building. We didn’t know specifically where that went. This would be similar to that except; it would be towards clearing up the mess in your district and hills.

Commissioner Koenig

We don’t have the money, that’s my problem.

Commissioner Bayne

Maybe we ought to stop the authorization of that $450,000 locks. It’s not too late for that, Commissioner. 6Page November 18th, 2025, Page7

Commissioner Koenig

It is too late.

Commissioner Jabbour

I was contacted by a few people here in Pahrump. There was an abandoned trailer on the right of way formerly known as the dairy farm on Lola. The trash was stacked 3 high overthe trailer and abandoned. I did get involved and I contacted

Sheriff McGill

who was on top of the situation with photos. It was not on private property; it was on the county right of away. Hauling it off costs’ money. The last time this came before us, I mentioned that there is a proper procedure and protocol. In regard to filing the appropriate paperwork and the time frame whether it’s private property or public property to have it removed legally. This is before us to try to find the funding. Because of the population here in Pahrump, the suggestion was 75% out ofthe Pahrump funding and 25% out of the Nye County funding, if we have the money available.

Comptroller Elliott

This project was not budgeted. We do our budget process tentatively in April. I don’t know of a $35,000 pocket sitting there to be spent and available. If the board decides to move forward with this, I will need some additional direction on what the intention of the funds is for. Are we to pay labor costs for the Sheriff’s Office, licensing fees, towing of the vehicle, or impound fees. That will make a difference to what funds are going to be looked into to see if we can fund this measure. If it costs the County money, it is thought ofa year in advance, when we prepare the budget. Ifthe measure does move forward, we have to look at the general fund. I know it’s also considered 75% from Town of Pahrump funds and we need to have some pretty deep discussions with the impacted departments and where we would save that money.

Commissioner Strickland

Procedures; it was stated that part of it would be from Town to Pahrump and part of it from Nye County. I like that idea in that I was trying to figure out how to fix the Johnny curve. They do not have a proper sewer and water as mandated by the State of Nevada. This is a big problem in that the squatting is allowed, and it’s not called squatting if you’re on Bureau of Land Management. You’re allowed to be on and live in your RV if you have water, sewer, and power. It’s evident that those people are living outside of the allowable uses. We’ve heard from our utility challenge lots, you have to have utilities in order to live on a property. There’s got to be $35,000 somewhere or do a smaller portion. If the Commissioners would agree and dive into the Town of Pahrump money because we know that they’re ending fund balance looks good at the end of every year. Can we see one done and what the procedure looks like when you file a complaint with code compliance and the Sheriffs Office. Once that complaint is received, who takes the action and we can see what it looks like.

Commissioner Boskovich

I commend Commissioner Bayne and Jabbour for bringing this item forward. Anything we can do here to improve our community is a good thing. The Comptroller hit the nail on the head when speaking of cutting other costs somewhere to figure out how to fund this. Manager Waggoner One of the issues using Town of Pah rump funds is, you’re enforcing a Nye County code. Any of the funding that goes from the Town of Pahrump to code 7IPage November 18th, 2025, Page8 compliance is purely for the function of the business licenses that are issued by the Town of Pahrump. That’s all that Nye County code enforcement does for the Town of Pah rump. Town of Pahrump funds half of that position but one problem I see is using the Town of Pahrump. We have to know what exactly the functions would be that would make the Town of Pahrump funds available. There’s also a movement outside of the Town of Pahrump to get rid of code complaints involvement in its entirety.

Commissioner Bayne

What is the actual balance in the LATCF unrestricted grant fund?

Commissioner Bayne

What is the town budgets balance that’s not been voted on by this board left from this current fiscal year?

Comptroller Elliott

1 00% of the budgeted items have been budgeted for the Town of Pahrump. There may be a cash balance or an ending fund balance. Town of Pahrump, general fund 25101 had 4.9 million in.

Commissioner Bayne

Your predecessor told us that there was approximately $lmillion leftover in some kind of reserve.

Comptroller Elliott

My understanding is that there’s an ending fund balance that we estimate but those funds are not eligible for use. We have to remain within our estimated expenditures every single year according to NRS.

Commissioner Bayne

That is not what was communicated to this board. That Comptroller said we could run it down to 400k. Afew months later, she said let’s replenish it back to Imillion. When she ran it back down to 400k, was she in error? DA Kunzi — We are getting into issues that aren’t germane and violate the open meeting law.

Comptroller Elliott

If we’re discussing contingency, there’s contingency funds available in the event of a mass emergency.

Commissioner Bayne

Motion to pass item 12 contingent on the funding source being seconded. I would recommend either the LATCF or some other combination.

Commissioner Jabbour

Before a possible second, we could direct staff to try to find this funding source and then come back to us for a formal motion and vote.

Commissioner Bayne

I would withdraw my motion.

Commissioner Jabbour

Comptroller, under the LATCF funding of 1.775 million, are we able to utilize any of that funding for this agenda item? 8IPage Novemberl8th, 2025, Page9

Comptroller Elliott

Yes, it is going to be considered a general government service that we are providing. In that situation, we would be able to use it?Again confirming direction. Do we need to pay the Sheriff’s Office labor or are we only paying for the impound. I need to know what the funding will be used for and there are no restrictions against this project on funding use.

Commissioner Bayne

Motion to pass item 12 with LATCF funding.

Commissioner Bayne

This is a onetime $35k funding as written out of the LATCF for funding.

Greber, Robert Otteson, and Gwen Placencia; and/or b.Readvertise for the appointment.

Commissioner Jabbour

2 vacant positions have been open for a considerable amount of time. There are folks in Tonopah that are ready and willing to speak.

Public Comment Michael David Garcia I’m trying to figure out where the redistricting gerrymandering jurisdiction and due process in a particularjurisdiction starts and ends. Nancy Maslach Being a trustee on the hospital board, I was glad to hear Robert Otteson speak. He would be an asset. Karmin was a trustee for years and faithful. You must have interpersonal skills and you have to be very careful about your communication. She already knows the ins and outs of what’s going on with this Northern Nye County Hospital District. It’s important to consider someone who is seasoned. Elizabeth Beale It is my hopes that you look forward and nominate the two individuals that you think truthfully is what the community needs. It is important to the benefits to this community and having somebody truthfully that can write grants would be impressive. We don’t have access to any of that right now. Melissa Godfrey I’m here to voice my support for Robert Otteson and Gwen Placencia.

Mrs. Greber

was a prior trustee that was the chairman of the board when they voted to terminate the contract with Renown. Renown was the most reputable and responsible provider we had in that clinic. We need new faces and new ideas. 12Page November 18th, 2025, Page13 13. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: Cont... Robert Otteson I have lived in Tonopah my whole life. I recently retired from the Nevada Test and Training Range. I served on Tonopah Boards for an extended period of time. My family are highly involved with the community. I am worried about the hospital situation. We have one nurse practitioner in town that is overwhelmed. My desire is to serve on this board to help our community in need. Gwen Placencia I’ve lived in Northern Nye County for the last 23 years and am a resident of Tonopah for the last 3 years. I’ve spent time doing grant writing and receiving money in that category. I have a heart for the community and want to see the hospital grow. I would like to use grant writing abilities to get funding to continue to build our small clinic into a larger hospital over time. It’s not something that’s going to happen overnight. Close Public Comment

I’d like to make a disclosure; I am a licensed real estate broker of 30 years but have no pecuniary interest in these parcels being sold.

Public Comment Helene Williams We were informed that there’s 478 homes on the market and were advised not to put our home on the market at this time. These homes average about 400,000 asking price. You need to review your time frame of marketing these properties. Tammy Pitman There are a number of homes in my neighborhood that have been on the market forever and there’s nothing happening. Close Public Comment

Commissioner Strickland

This is vacant land.

Commissioner Jabbour

Sam, this is a guideline and if we wanted to raise any of these numbers, do we have the liberty and flexibility to do that. Sam Tackett Yes. The minimum fair market value is listed. That’s our base and can be taken up from there. We need to recoup our costs and also go by the appraisals that were completed for them.

Commissioner Boskovich

I will point out that some of these appraisals have come in much higher than I thought.

Commissioner Strickland

We have an appraisal value, and we had the cost we incurred on top of that. We’re asking for greater than appraisal value. Commissioner Bayne, what do you think about the fair market value that has been placed on these properties?

Commissioner Bayne

I don’t do commercial property. I have an understanding of vacant land. I work for banks, so I don’t work for people. Banks will hire me for a very specific purpose. If they do the job right, then it would be correct. There’s income approach and there’s cost, then there’s market values. The banks, up until six months ago, have decided now is the time to sell foreclosures.

Motion to adopt Nye County Resolution No. 2025-25.

Motion Carries — 5-0 BOARD OF Commissioners I I .For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on current fiscal status and budget projections, identify any issues, and confirm next steps for the remainder of the fiscal year. Manager Waggoner We’ve become aware that there appears to be some errors in the budgeted wages and benefits that were budgeted as part of fiscal year 26. It’s looking like, at first glance, is that wages and benefits did not capture the contractual obligations in the CBAs, for a few of the different bargaining units. Which is NCLEA, NCMEA and the NCSA. We don’t know what the exact impact will be at this point and that’s what we’re in the process of trying to figure out. The way we’re doing that is we’re recreating the fiscal 26 budget with the correct steps and increases that were part of those CBAs. Then we can see what that number looks like, or where we are going to fall short of what was budgeted for the affected staff. We will be bringing this back to the board at that point for our suggestions and options of how to correct it. It could be a pure error. We’re still trying to figure out where these numbers came from that were input as the budget was put together. Because they don’t match. We need to figure out what exactly the impact is going to be so we can bring options forward within the next 2-3 weeks.

Public Comment Michael David Garcia I have failed to see Nye County ever take responsibility for assets and wages. If you take care of the top line, the bottom line is easy. Close Public Comment 15Page November 18th, 2025, Page 16 11. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on current fiscal Cont...

Commissioner Bayne

I want to be respectful, the statutory framework that exists for this kind of discussion so I would wait for some kind of conclusion to be offered by the appropriate staff. If there was some kind of an error, or something was supposed to happen with the County budget, is that correct, Manager? Manager Waggoner The CBA’s have COLA raises, cost of living, as well as CPI adjustments. The three that I mentioned did have those in there. What it appears though, is that those were not accounted for and budgeted for in the budget for this year.

Commissioner Bayne

Whatever is happening or discovered in the county budget, is that also happening in the town budget? Manager Waggoner — We have not seen this issue there at this point.

Commissioner Strickland

What about insurance? Manager Waggoner No. It’s the last few that were prior to this fiscal year, the CBA’s that were renegotiated prior to the group we did. Over the last two years, those are the ones that did not get figured into the budget.

Commissioner Boskovich

Under whose direction does this potential error happen? Manager Waggoner It would have been led by the past comptroller.

Commissioner Bayne

The preparation or process for the county budget and the town budget, is it roughly similar? For there to be an error in one and not the other, is there an explanation for how that happens? Manager Waggoner Yes, because the CBAs weren’t renewed for the town. Other than the NCMEA, with the few members we have, that’s part of that group. But the impact is not nearly as great on the town budget. It’s in the general fund.

Commissioner Bayne

You’re restricting this error to labor issues? Manger Waggoner So far, but that is the biggest impact that we’re finding. Once we’re done with that, we’re going to go through and look at the other funds within that general fund.

Commissioner Bayne

My request is, if there is something outside of labor issues that pertain only to the County budget, I want to know if that is to clarify this. If there’s an error that’s not just labor related, I want to know how it did not occur at the town budget as well.

If that’s approved, then we can get them there to their final C of 0.

Public Comment Tammy Pitman The smell is a concern. People in adjoining lots or even miles away would be downwind and affected. Hopefully they mitigate that. Ammie Nelson I’ve never been against legal medical marijuana. Medical marijuana is losing its place by doing business like this. We have to be careful of the ideas that we have of these grow plants and these businesses that are going to be selling it. It’s something that should be in the medical field because you have to have a card to use medical marijuana. They should have to have some kind of licensing for medical marijuana. We need to curb this recreational business. Richard Goldstein Before we allow another marijuana to grow, we need to find out how much product we have on hand and how much they’re actually selling. We’re becoming 17Page November 18th, 2025, Page 18 16. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation on Cannabis Cont... the marijuana growth capital of the state. The more we have, the lower the price goes. We’re going to end up with a glutton of marijuana. Michael David Garcia I’ve never heard you say no to a profit no matter who it affects. I haven’t had a problem with the phone lines. The connection when it comes to disclosure, there’s a complete discrepancy between county and town. Close Public Comment John Harp This is not an additional cultivation license. This is a license who was already in Nye County owned by Green Cross of America. We picked up this license through a receivership. This facility is built solely for marijuana; not retrofitted, a bottle plant, and not a garage. We’re very proud of this facility. It’s going to have the rating of cleanliness as a clinic. We have 47 cameras at this facility with live feed into the Sheriff’s Department and The State of Nevada. Thursday, the CCB will be coming to our facility for a preliminary inspection. We have a TCO with two issues that we’re going to be talking to the Regional Planning Commission on December 18th We use all local contractors.
