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). Patricia Robb Public Utilities Commission of Nevada and Great Basin Water Company have both confirmed that Great Basin Water Companies tariff area has nothing to do with zoning. Great Basin Water Company is responsible for servicing water and sewer utilities. Which is not something that overrides zoning nor does their tariff. Zoning is up to the county. James Truslow Adams once said; “The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better, richer, and fuller for every man.” Each meeting opens with a prayer and there’s the symbolic statement you sit under in God, we trust. It’s not one, it’s thousands of owners and they continue to be denied the right to use their own land. We’re being asked to consider what truly matters and to acknowledge the landowners whose parcels have been overlooked for decades and restricted by outdated zoning as Pahrump grew around them. Real leadership is proven not by what is said, but by what is done. Beth Borysewich I’ve noticed that there’s been a tremendous number of new dumped houses around 160, Harrah’s Farm and Simkins. There’s a lot of squatters out there. I I Page December 2nd 2025, Page 2 called Steve Osborne and didn’t hear anything. Two days later, I got a call from a guy named Rob. He had a bad attitude and said there’s a lot of complaints. I asked how we are working on these complaints; mine lodged years ago. John Koenig’s going to go out and do some investigation with code compliance. You put in a moratorium of sorts for the meta waste, etcetera and it was supposed to expire at the end of December. Per the minutes, the DAwas supposed to write up information on this so we could try and change it or make it permanent. Are we working on that and or is it going to expire and then meta waste can come back polluting the town of Pahrump. Anthony Greco The lAP is having their convention January 1 0th All parties are invited who are running for office. We believe in the constitution, so everyone gets to say what they want to say. I have zero criminal history. Judge Lane never corrected his wrong and has been in contempt for seven years and all he has done needs to be revisited. Ammie Nelson Chasing homeless from district to district is not a solution. You’re making people desperate when you take away things that are everything to the homeless. Desperate people do desperate things. It’s an epidemic. You find a cart, that’s the responsibility of the store and it certainly isn’t the responsibility of the taxpayer. This is not helping anybody except District 4. I think you need to come up with a better solution. Speak with other departments and find out what you can do to give these people a hand up. Daryll Lackey — I heard prayers for everything that’s on TV. Not your local humanity situations that you ignore. I have a program to give these people something to do that’s productive to bring them back into society again. You’re busy doing what TV says to do and what your party says to do; your Republican Party and if you’re Democrats, I’d be saying Democrat. Nothing is going to get done because you have no interest in humanity. Jodi Reddington Too many times the rebuttal to the issue of the utility challenged lots is, it’s the buyer’s fault because they bought knowing it had no services. That is both an irresponsible and rude position to take on an issue that can easily be corrected and would economically benefit all of Pahrump. Not everyone was properly informed before they bought and even today the county continues to auction these lots without providing this information to bidders. These lots were created and approved by the county decades ago with the expectation that infrastructure would follow. The county approved and recorded these subdivisions, collected associated filing and review fees, and has continued to collect property taxes. Owners are denied the use of their land as a direct result of those same approvals. Many buyers purchased during the early development phase when preferred equities and county representatives publicly assured that full utilities were planned. No more blaming, time to solve and request a responsible zoning change. Refusing to get this on the agenda and study options that could unblock more than 7000 parcels from development is a huge planning mistake. Lorraine Gilbert We came to you several times that the VR zoning model failed. Nothing has ever been done to revise something that stopped matching reality. Thousands of lots 2IPage December 2nd 2025, Page 3 remain legally frozen. Conditions have evolved, infrastructure realities have changed, technology has advanced, and we are not allowed to build on these lots. You and developers have the power to rezone. Some justification needs to be done for that because that’s not right or fair to an individual property owner. If you’re going to rezone, then you have to rezone everything. There is no picking and choosing. Tim Bohanon Thank you THS Mucker Football team for their efforts at the State Championship on 11/25 at Bishop Gorman. They came out on the short side against Pahranagat Valley. They played a solid season, and they have had a good team. Thank you to Coach Otteson and his crew of 28 players and staff. Tenya Dickson I am the Sassy Trainer with an update for the 9 veteran teams that you have supported over the years. I have a packet with pictures and a little blurb about the veterans and their dogs on their journey. I’d like to invite anyone who would like to do any type of dog training or service to see me. Classes are Monday and Saturday at 2PM. Suzie Hertz Thank you lan for cleaning up our town. I recently attended a meeting for solar installation that’s proposed in the North End of town near Roadrunner Rd., with an expectation that they will be granted a 300ft set back from property lines in that area. Please stand by our solar ordinance and shut this thing down before it gets any further. These set of lots don’t have utilities that people can’t habitat on, but we haven’t heard anything from you. It’s about time that get it together and have some conversations. Michael David Garcia I really want to talk about death and liberty and what it means. Property rights are the foundation of all rights. Man, inherent property rights and that’s our offspring, our natural rights. Our 10th amendment is the only resolution when it comes to usurpation of power. Our four founders knew government would be tempted. Attempted to silence the I st amendment that protects speech, challenges government authority and jurisdiction. You don’t care who’s in front of you. You are profiting off all of this and the profit off the backs of the children. Tom Waters We are on track to get the ballot question to reestablish The Pahrump Town Board on the ballot. We’re collecting petition signatures so residents can vote yes or no in November 2026. This Friday you can sign at Port of Subs. We’ll announce other locations and times shortly. Please submit questions, comments, or interest in running to our social media page or email. The Pahrump Town Board Committee has many expenses and is classified as a nonprofit organization. Therefore, your donation is tax deductible. Cory Merry I’m a firm believer that more government equals less freedom. In regard to having a City Council; I looked at a couple of other cities to see what it costs them. Elko; population of 20,888, operating budget $31 million. What is the City Council here going to cost us to operate. They raise taxes. Boulder; population of 15,000, four City Council people, 4 city clerks, finance department nine people, 3 administrative people, 26 fire, public works 37 employees, and total government positions 168. When you have the 3Page December 2nd 2025, Page 4 municipalities, 217 people. What is the salary for 217 people to do something that we have a half a dozen up here willing to do for us. Boulder has tourism; they have a lake, river, and the dam. What does Pahrump have to bring people here to pay for any of this? Not a lot to draw people here, but a good thing keeping the town small and manageable. If it makes the ballot, something to think about; where does the money come from and how much will it cost. Thomas Santanastasio I fail to see why this board cannot be more cooperative. Your failure to communicate and to keep us informed infuriates us. I see numerous ads for tiny houses on my computer. The population of Pahrump averages the age of 52. There are many of us over 70. That’s 2% of Pahrump’s population. Many will be living alone and soon want to downsize. These numbers will continue to grow especially when the new homes are built. Think about the future and needs of the people. Ron Mortinson I recently sent a public records request for the tipping fees collected at the dump for the $10 million renovation. Revenues of 59345 and 226. At the end, that shows that the balance is double those numbers. I thought this process started in the middle of the year and if year to date is those numbers, then how is the balance double? We’re property owners, we pay taxes, fund your payroll, and we send messages through e-mail to our various commissioners and many of us don’t get any response. Tamie Pitman When the fairgrounds land was donated over 2oyrs ago, families were excited for more ball fields. Since then, some families have resorted driving to Vegas for sporting games and practices. That 20 years is a generation. 20 years ofgraduates which is over 5000 kids that have graduated from Valley High School since the land was gifted. We have 5 parks in town, ofwhich atleastthree ofthem; Simkins, Ian Deutch, and Kellogg all have adjacent, undeveloped land. Town of Pahrump recently bought an additional 8 acres at Kellogg for $80k. The Town of Pahrump has an account with $2,000,000 in it to upgrade Kellogg Park. It is more cost effective to add ball fields to an existing park where roads, drainage, parking, lighting, water, sewer, and restroom facilities already exist. Since 2016, The Town of Pahrump has been awarded $2,228,928.00 in grants to improve that gifted fairground property. All we have to show are two holes in the ground and now they’re asking for more money to connect the two holes. It’s been 9 years since the initial grant money is awarded and not one field has been built. If we actually cared about our kids, we would have put that additional ball fields in for existing parks long ago. Penny Beccia Living on the North side, I am not in a flood zone. But, when it rains, it goes down Glen Cove gushing like a river. I finally waterproofed my whole yard and house. I called Public Works, and they told me we need a retention basin in order to stop that. That’s a federal grant if we can get a hold of some federal government money to do that. The asphalt put on the corner of Glenn Cove and Leslie; there’s at least 25 pocket holes. The asphalt lasted maybe 5 days and is sinking. Diane Southworth Most people don’t realize that you already pay taxes for Pah rump and County. We don’t have a rural community anymore, it’s urban. Until these Commissioners 4Page December 2nd 2025, Page 15 get together and decide they want to put some things here to make it more viable for people, it’s never going to be right. If you want to have good paying jobs, you have to allow companies that are going to put good paying jobs in the town. Something could be done for homeless who want the help. To demonize them and treat them as criminals is wrong. It’s time to have things like other places with a population like ours. Tina Bond-Kuglin I never really paid attention to the public comments paragraph you have on the agenda. They are trying to take away our First Amendment rights. I had a lawyer go over this paragraph and all the statements I have read here since 2024. He couldn’t believe that a government entity would even try to push this onto its citizens and for its citizens to allow it to stand. Last month, you allowed someone to commit slander and defamation of character against the town board committee. Three of those members owned businesses and if that slanderous statement affects their business in any way, it’s a great lawsuit. The main reasons for these meetings is for you to hear over and over about the same matter that the community is against or for. You must listen to your constituents, and you legally cannot stop them. I followed all of Nevada law and my constitutional rights. I cannot say the same for the building department, code compliance, BOCC, or RPC, hence the storming of the affidavit effect which still stands today. 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. Lengthy deliberation of topics not on the agenda is prohibited by the Nevada Open Meeting Law).
Commissioner Bayne
There’s the public meetings act, which I believe is unconstitutional because it chills free speech. A citizen could talk to all five of us, go back and figure out what to do with them. We can’t speak amongst ourselves. The reality is that thousands of people have elected each one of us, but we are now shackled from being able to speak to each other. If someone comes up with something for public comment and it goes into a deliberation, the problem is that it hasn’t been noticed. There’s a due process notice that has to go out, so people at home are aware. What we’re doing is we’re depriving people of their due process when there is a discussion not noticed. The DA does a lot of work you don’t see, putting effort into making sure these are all correct. I think it’s a garbage law designed to shackle elected officials in a place where staff is extremely powerful because of term limits. The state model is set so that we all are not able to speak on certain things up here without these interruptions and these awkward conversations. We can’t answer and ifwe do, we’re violating another constitutional right. I don’tthink that we’ve done a very good job articulating the reason why we are forbidden by State Law from sitting up and hearing or having a back and forth. This forum has turned into a way to politically campaign. It doesn’t work and it’s not helping the case if that’s what you’re intending to do. There are way more powerful things that you can do with your time. I am also restricted from telling you where you can reach out to me. I can say that to reach me, visit the Nye County website. Sales tax actually goes to the jurisdiction you’re in when you order online. If you want to campaign, it’s probably better to put up a sign rather than coming here. 5IPage December 2nd 2025, Page 6 3. Commissioner/Manager Comments (This item is limited to Cont...
Commissioner Koenig
There is a group that’s been formed by the Water Board to address zombie lots. Until that board comes up with a solution, not much is going to happen. According to what I’ve been told, Great Basin will not allow alternatives. That comes directly from the Water Board. At the next meeting, I’m going to ask him to tell you in person what he told me, “Great Basin will not allow it.” In my district, there are probably I 5 court cases right now on people that are sitting over there in trailers and motorhomes. I’m going out tomorrow morning with code compliance and a cop. Most of them are not in the condition that the $35,000 we approved will allow us to haul away because people are living in them. We’re going to work on it and it’s going to take time. We’re not going to do 100 or more court cases because the people refused to move. They’ve been fined twice, and they owe about $12k in fines they can’t afford.
Commissioner Jabbour
If you’re trying to communicate with us via e-mail and you misspell our names, yes, it’s going to get kicked back. The Tonopah High School football team, Muckers, representing Tonopah and Nye County, deserve applause. Thanks to everybody that participated whether they were a player, giving them Gatorade or water, and the coaches. The principal and the community from the North were there as well as people from Pahrump going to Bishop Gorman and showing the support for these players. Tonopah did not take state but there’s always next year.
Commissioner Strickland
A commenter said she has a property on the north side where she’s concerned about flooding. Currently, in regard to the retention basins, there is major work that’s being done on acquiring funds to do so. The Nye County Water District Governing board has contacted Beck Engineering, and they have a contract for that. Public Works has mapping for that. This has been ongoing and we’re aware of the problem. We would love to find grants to help us build retention and detention basins. It would be wonderful for retaining that water where it could be moved back through our valley floor and help with our water table.
Commissioner Boskovich
I hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving. My family and I met in Tahoe. It was a lot of fun. Manager Waggoner Again, the path forward for a zone change has been explained. The application and approval process has been explained. This group that is asking the taxpayers of this county to foot the bill, they haven’t been willing to foot their own bill to get the process started. Zoning a piece of property to a different zoning does not solve the issue. 4.Approval of the Agenda for November 18, 2025 (Non-action item) 5 Pulled 5.For Possible Action Emergency Items Pulled 6Page December 2nd 2025, Page 17 SITTING AS THE NYE COUNTY BOARD OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS CHAIR - JABBOUR 6.For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation regarding the General Road Report by the Public Works Director on General Road Maintenance, Gravel Road Maintenance, Asphalt Patching, Weed Mowing, and direction regarding public works projects. Beau Gott Public Works has received 605 maintenance requests since the beginning of this year, averaging 55 per month. Last month, we received 76 requests. That’s a bit more than normal, due to the recent surge of the wet weather. The majority of the requests continue to be for potholes. Since the last couple offloods, we have had a lot of washouts to repair, along with a lot of debris left on the road to remove. In the Northern District, gravel road maintenance continues in the outlying areas. The greater operators have been bouncing around quite a bit to take care of washouts and hazards throughout Northern Nye County, and we’ll continue with their routes when they can. In Tonopah, crews have been patching and doing some sign work. In the central district, the crews have been cleaning up after the rains and will be moving on to patching, gravel road maintenance, and some sign work. In the Southern District, the Pahrump crew is still concentrating on flood repair. After getting everything passable and opened up from the first flood, we got hit again. We had to start all over removing debris from the roads and fixing driveways that we’re washed out. Flood repair will continue as we have a lot of ditch work, culvert cleaning, gravel road maintenance, and street sweeping. We also have multiple pothole patching crews out daily; in the forms of cold mix and our dura patchers.
Public Comment Ammie Nelson The road department knows that Barney, the north side of 372, they really fixed it up because before it was undrivable. It’s really nice to be going that way and not have to drive on the potholes because you couldn’t avoid them. This semi went off, turning too sharp and messed up that road. I don’t know if anybody reported it, but somebody might go out there and check it. Penny Beccia Glen Cove and Leslie were repaired. But, what they did, they put a bunch of asphalt in 25-30 potholes on the corner of Glen Cove and Leslie a couple days ago. Already they’re starting to sink in. Is there a way we can put like what they did before down Leslie to cover it up? Down Glen Cove, there’s many pocket holes coming up because of the river that comes every time it rains. If you build a great big ditch in the corner, going up towards the mountain of 160 and Glen Cove about a half a mile up and let the water sit in there. It would be good for animals, and sxs when it’s dry. Beth Borysewich This cold patch only lasts about 3 weeks. We could do an experiment and call some other construction company that does the hot seal and come do a couple of the potholes to see how long they last. Redoing the cold seal is a lost cause.

Commissioner Koenig
How are doing on the crack sealing? Beau Gott We’re doing well. Our order of crack seal came in last week and we have to disperse that to the different districts. It’s more of a cold weather application. We can’t do it when it’s wet. We’ll be concentrating on potholes right now. Around January is when we roll into the seal.
Commissioner Koenig
All the cracks we have are now wet, so we are already in trouble. Will you take a look at Leslie and Glen Cove to repair the big potholes? Beau Gott Every time it rains, we come up with this same scenario where our cold mix isn’t holding up. We have what’s called hydro patch; it’s made for patching in wet weather. We use it as much as we can but it’s very expensive and you can only do so much with what you have. What we’re doing when these potholes are blowing out is a cool mix repair where we blow all the wet water out. We take a propane torch to dry it out as much as we can and patch the hole because it’s a hazard. It’s not the best way to fix it but it’s the only way to fix it at that time for what we can do. That intersection is pretty rough. We’ll have to go in there and do a chip seal repair over the top of it but it’s not the only intersection. They’re all over the place and we have to pick the worst ones and do those first before we move on.
Commissioner Boskovich
If we could take a peek at Darrall Ct off of Margarita. The other one is, 941 Gypsy out North. I’m not exactly sure what the issue is with that one, but I think it had to do with when it flooded. A street sign has been down for two years, and I’ll text thatto you.
Commissioner Jabbour
It was all hands on deck on the roads clearing up the debris and getting the floodwaters taken care of. Two weeks later, we got hit again. I don’t think the winter season is over. 500, the rule of thumb and even in Pahrump you’re hitting 300. By the time they set it, it’s not adhering properly. I really don’t want you wasting time, money, payroll, the staff’s time with that because it’s the taxpayers’ dollars and then you’re right back at it again a few weeks later. Even the ones that aren’t getting out there, they’re feeling the residual when the equipment comes back and there’s a lot of wear and tear. There are a lot of intricacies involved, and I can only ask the public, the Commission, and the admin to be patient with Beau. The rule of thumb is to make the ingress egress on these roads passable and as safe as possible. Beau Gott The Barney section from 372 was a section that we did a scrub seal on. One of the roads that would blow out with a little bit of rain with hundreds of potholes alongside with Wilson and Thousandaire. I was worried about how they were going to hold up and they all held up. The scrub seal is working.
Commissioner Jabbour
Between you, Tom, and others on your staff, you go to these different conferences. These professional companies do demonstrations and of course it all looks good on stage, but the reality is, does it really work saving money and time. 8Page December 2nd 2025, Page 9 SITTING AS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 7.CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS These are items that Staff recommend for approval.

If we haven’t, we shouldn’t and if we have, we should ask for a refund. Beth Borysewich To pay 68k for a study that didn’t include the people that send out the ambulances, we should get a refund. Is there a national standard for pay grades and what to pay for comparable positions throughout the entire United States. We should find that if there is one and then discuss it with the union. Where are we going to get the numbers for this and it can’t be something that we’re going to pull out of the air. If you go under GIS codes, then I don’t know how you’re doing this. It would be nice to know where you’re going to come up with a standard. Close Public Comment
Commissioner Bayne
The facts are that the union relied on a pay study to set salaries that members voted on with that pay study being offered or aware of. There’s probably a presumption, although not a legal one, but presuming the pay study is reliable. Now we have some up here, the Captain, and the Sheriffs Office says there are serious flaws. It’s been admitted that we need to go back and fix this. Everybody has an opinion on what went wrong and why it happened. The sticking point here is, does the union care that they relied on this information. If the union does not care that they used flawed information to vote on, that’s their issue not ours. Perhaps the first way to handle this is to take the offer from the attorney representing the union to have a private negotiation on what they intend to do to fix the problem of the pay study. We have dispatchers who are intending to quit, who we need here in this community, who pick up the phone, and they do a lot of work. I don’t want to ignore these people and I’m afraid that that’s what we’re collectively doing. There is no doubt in my mind that the Nye County staff could fill this room with excuses on why something can’t be done. I hope that’s not what we’re going to hear today.
Commissioner Boskovich
Seems somewhat unfair to me to address an issue that is already in the process of being addressed but has not been implemented yet. Without addressing it for everybody would be my concern. I don’t want to see any of our people go elsewhere if we can avoid that.
Commissioner Bayne
I think that is the point, having this go back to the union. I think it’s chaotic and destructive for us to reach the hand of government in and say well we’re going to quote on quote fix this one position. There was some bad information the union was given. That’s why we wanted what’s called a limited scope reopening of negotiations. That is something that we received consent from the union to have a limited scope. All it does is limit the scope of the negotiations to all of the pay for everybody. That they can take a look at what was done perhaps erroneously, perhaps not. If the union is not interested, then we won’t do it. If we don’t ask, no one will ask. I want this pay study to be looked at, perhaps set aside, maybe get our money, and find out if this company ever did a pay study. I want those members to see accurate information. I don’t feel like those members were given accurate information. I’m actually pretty pro union when it comes to most things in matters like this. I don’t want members to be deprived of information. 1OPage December 2nd 2025, Page 11 8. For Possible Action Discussion and debate for Cont... DA Kunzi This might help the direction ofwhere the discussion should go. Originally, we were talking about reopening the negotiations and council for the association righifully pointed out that that may not be what we want to do. If we reopen negotiations, that opens up everything. What they’re willing to do is have informal discussions with us regarding this issue with the pay studies. That would be my recommendation that we go on a more informal basis of having discussions to figure out exactly what issues there are. That we can bring that back and that way we can put together a plan or a solution that would resolve everybody’s issues with regards to what seems to be problems with the application of the wage study.
Commissioner Bayne
I agree. If we could find language and maybe the DA could offer that in doing whatever is informal negotiations to figure out what to do. DA Kunzi I recommend not using the word negotiations. I think it’s authorizing informal discussions with the association with regards to this issue.
Commissioner Jabbour
This is a very important agenda item. We asked the dispatchers to be patient, that we’re trying to figure this out. We know that their CBA is trying to figure it out. When we say that the members voted for this, the majority of the members voted for this contract. It’s unlikely that the dispatchers voted for this knowing that the pay study did not include them. I know that I mentioned at one of the meetings that it sure did seem like the dispatchers for whatever reason were sacrificed or overlooked through the negotiations prior to us coming here today. I agree with the DA, with the other commissioner, and especially if there are options being worked on right now. Yes, the union attorney has been very much involved with this and trying to correct it. Again, we’re being cautioned that just last year, we were asked to reopen a particular contract and were advised not to do that because we would be setting precedents. We really need to be careful with this before making a decision. What I’m hearing is potentially that we allow this particular item to die today rather than vote on it. Let the negotiations continue, the informal negotiations, Mr. DA. DA Kunzi I am concerned about talking about informal negotiations. There’s no such thing as informal negotiations. When you talk about negotiations, you’re talking about negotiations. I think what this agenda item was designed is to give staff direction on how we should proceed with this. My suggestion is to not make any reference to negotiations at all. But to actually have an informal discussion with the association so that we can weed out all of the issues that may be presented.

Motion Carries — 5-0 SHERIFF 9.For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: a.Approve, amend and approve, or reject an Interlocal Contract between Nye County School District and Nye County Sheriff’s Office for the purpose of providing two School Resource Officers during the 2025-2026 school year. Nye County School District will pay the County $50,000.00; b.Execute the Contract; and c.Fund to 10101 General Fund.
Commissioner Strickland
At this time, should we have more information about the cost? Manager Waggoner I know this has been done for many years. I don’t think anybody’s has anything against the intent of it. But, when I saw this item come forward, I saw the amount of $50k. Which is supposed to be inclusive of any salaries and benefits. I don’t think we have anybody in this county, one singular employee, that unless they’re possibly a part time, that benefits and salary $50k would cover this. I did reach out to HR because I wanted to see what this actually costs the county to provide this service. What it came up with was a total of $304,625. I wanted to bring that to the attention. I wanted to make sure you’re informed that this is a substantial hit to the budget of the Sheriffs Department by providing this service.
Sheriff McGill
The alternative is that we don’t have deputies in the schools. I don’t think there’s anybody here that wants that.
Commissioner Strickland
Or modify the contract to cover costs.
Sheriff McGill
I think that the reason why it is what it is, is that the school district doesn’t have enough money to pay more than what they’re offering. 12Page December 2nd 2025, Page 113 9. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: Cont...
Commissioner Strickland
It would be nice to ask, Sheriff.
Sheriff McGill
In the past there have been grants that have been applied and received under the school district. They were not eligible to apply for the grant this year because of restrictions of the grant. We were not eligible to apply for the grant because it couldn’t be applied for by the law enforcement. It had to be applied for by the schools. That being the case, this is a necessity. I would rather have a deputy in every school all day if we could. We can’t do that, we don’t have the manpower or the money. My preference would be that it’s funded by the school’s budget but if they don’t have it, they don’t have it. We can’t not have cops in schools in today’s day and age. I would hate for this to fail and then something happens at one of our schools that we could have prevented. We’ve been doing this for 20 years in one way or another in Nye County. If it comes to the point where we have to provide more deputies and more money; first of all, we don’t have the available positions because a lot of our positions have been frozen, and we don’t have the money to do that anyway. This will augment, offset some of the costs of providing the service to the school district and it will give us the safety and security of having at least some deputies available to the schools.
Commissioner Boskovich
Is it possible that the school district has become used to us funding this and hasn’t really looked at sharpening their own pencils in a ways to help at least offset some more of the cost of this?
Sheriff McGill
If one entity takes on responsibility for whatever task it is, then sooner or later it becomes that entities responsibility. If that’s the case here and the school district budget needs to be drastically increased in order to pay for this fully, I can’t help that. I know that at this point, we need to do something.
Commissioner Jabbour
No doubt that since the beginning of the year things have transpired and not in a positive way in some of the schools. When you say the deputies and schools as plural, are we talking throughout Nye County?
Commissioner Strickland
Are their services like this being provided in the North or is it only within this valley floor?
Sheriff McGill
It is predominantly here in Pahrump. We don’t have anybody assigned in the schools in the North or Central. The answer to that is yes, it is only here in Pahrump.
Commissioner Jabbour
In a perfect world, if this is approved, for example, you assign a couple of deputies to the schools. There are many schools in Pah rump and there are also many schools outside of Pahrump. This will be a deterrent for the students and or infiltration to the schools because of the presence of the deputies. We don’t live in a perfect world. I know it reads $50k for six more months until the end of the school year. It’s mandatory that we consider that there is some type of presence in all of the schools throughout Nye County. 13Page December 2nd 2025, Page 14 9. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: Cont...
Commissioner Strickland
This contract terminates June 30th 2026. We can cut our $304,600 in half because it’s six months instead of a year. Or is that $304,600 for the time that’s left? Manager Waggoner This service is already being provided for the year. Calling it a six month contract isn’t correct.
Commissioner Jabbour
I said we have six months left of the contract.
Commissioner Strickland
I understand that thank you. I didn’t understand, I thought it was six months.
Commissioner Jabbour
Sheriff, I know that $50,000 is not a lot of money, when we’re talking all of the schools in Nye County. What can we do to help protect all ofthe schools?
Commissioner Strickland
It’s two deputies not just at school. It’s overtime at sporting events.
Sheriff McGill
Right. During the school day, the need for a deputy at any school varies based on the needs. An elementary school doesn’t have fights and knives coming into class, generally. But it does happen. When you’re dealing with 7 year olds fighting or you’re dealing with 18 year olds fighting, there is a big difference. We have a deputy assigned to the high school. We have a deputy assigned to the middle school. We used to have a third deputy that would roam the elementary schools. We had a deputy who did not want to do the schools anymore and we did not replace that third. Now the middle school deputy has to roam the middle school and the elementary schools in Pahrump. The third deputy also used to go to the North one day a week ,and would spot schools. We no longer have that third deputy, so we no longer have that luxury.
Commissioner Strickland
Have we ever considered using Sheriff auxiliary staff?
Sheriff McGill
Because they are not certified peace officers, they cannot make arrest.
Commissioner Strickland
They can hold someone for a deputy to come make an arrest.
Commissioner Strickland
How often are you making an arrest?
Sheriff McGill
Sometimes frequently and it depends on the circumstance. I will not put a non-certified peace officer in the position of having to take physical action and hold a student. 14Page December2d, 2025, Page15 9. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: Cont...
Commissioner Strickland
What does this board think of approving this interlocking contract and going to the school district to ask them to re budget for the amount that’s necessary to cover our costs?
Commissioner Koenig
The contract will terminate in June. $50k for services not including overtime. I’m taking that out of the conversation. We’ve been doing this for 20 some odd years, maybe losing money. They do it for another six months, I don’t have a problem with it. The next time they come, we want to get back to school board and say we have a problem with it. Please renew your budget or look at your budget to try and get this better.
Sheriff McGill
It would be my preference that the school district funds all of it. If they can’t, I don’t know what else to do.
Public Comment Michael David Garcia For five years Mrs. Strickland, you’ve been telling me you don’t have jurisdiction over these matters. I’m asking you about the contract. Who is in charge of care, custody, and control of these contracts? What about the rights of the minors? The worst place our children can be is with the government. Where do you think all the abuse happened? Please tell me that you are not discussing this matter right now after you’ve been shutting me down for five years persecuting me and my family for exposing abuse and neglect on your end. Article I section 10, you are literally paying employees to traffic for children. Caitlin Miller I think that the Nye County School District needs to budget for this. There was an incident involving a knife at the Tonopah Middle/High School. We had to wait for Boni to come from Round Mountain. I would really rethink this and make sure that we are covering all schools and kids. Susie Hertz It seems to me that this is a part of an overall problem with our county. We’re growing. We need to have enough services and support for our population. I’m a taxpayer and I don’t want my taxes to go up. There has to be a backbone and look at the reality of who lives here and how many people we have. Is there enough fire, water, and police coverage to protect ourselves in the lifestyle that we have all chosen, including schools. Go to the school board and ask them for the money. There’s not enough staffing in the Sheriffs Department. The budget needs to be expanded to protect us. Beth Borysewich We don’t have enough police to cover what’s going on in town. I looked online and found; we have 6 high schools in the whole county, 11 elementary and middle schools. To have two officers for all of these schools is not enough. Our number one priority is safety in our town. It’s not the Sheriff’s fault that he doesn’t have enough officers, it’s the fault of the people that put the budget together. There should be a guideline of #1 is safety and number 2 is to make sure that we have all the infrastructure. You don’t have to have real deputies but peace officers and get the parents involved. If you have 2 officers 15Page December 2nd 2025, Page 16 9. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: Cont... in the schools, what happens to the other schools? If they have an issue in Tonopah, it’s going to take hours to drive up there to handle it. That’s not even justifiable. Cory Fowles The incident that happened in Tonopah with the knife, Deputy Boni was not in Round Mountain. He was in Tonopah and on scene within 4 minutes. Lieutenant Ramirez and Sergeant Blackburn were in Round Mountain doing extra patrols because the citizens there had asked for more visibility. The school district does pay the overtime for football games, dances, etcetera. The Sheriff, the community, and you all want cops in the schools. That’s not going to change, we’re going to have cops in the schools. This $50k augments that budget. In the past, there were grants that paid for more of it. For whatever reason, they weren’t able to provide that this year. Ammie Nelson Being close to Las Vegas, we’re getting a lot of gang activity and it’s in our schools. Without officers, I can’t even imagine the students and how afraid they have to be. You either comply and join up with them, or you get bullied and we need officers in those schools. We have too many new tenants and way too many sergeants. They should be doing something. We’ve got too many positions we can’t afford to pay. These guys are going to be retiring and they’re going to take all their pay and benefits. That’s a lot of money coming out of our budget to pay for people who aren’t working anymore. We must come up with some solution rather than the school board comes up with the money or we have to have grants. The Sheriff needs someone who can write grants and get them in the schools. Melissa Godfrey I wantto say thatthis should be the school districts responsibility 100%.
Sheriff McGill
stated that there are no SRO’s outside of Pahrump. If you really want to approve SRO’s, then maybe fund it through The Town of Pahrump to cover the cost. The attachment specifically says, the SRO shall provide law enforcement services to all schools within the school district during the agreed upon hours. We all know that we won’t get one in Tonopah. The county should not be footing this bill. The school district has the best grants person and if she didn’t apply for the grants, then that’s on them. The school district can’t even cover less than $100,000 to for a full day Pre-K program. They need to figure it out and this should not be on Nye County. Close Public Comment
Sheriff McGill
I cannot fire Lieutenants. They’re covered under contract until they retire and the county has to continue to pay their pension. The deputies in the North do routinely patrol of the schools when they’re not assigned. They go into the schools and solve problems. The SRO’s here in Pahrump, they are not to only stand there and be a gun if somebody tries to assault the school. They are taking care of problems, minor fights, and drugs found. The national average for law enforcement to population is 2.5 officers per thousand. Our average is 1.57 per thousand. If we turn this down, it’s $50k we gave away or refused to accept. 16Page December 2nd 2025, Page 17 9. For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to: Cont...
Commissioner Koenig
I would never want to be the guy sitting here to turn this down. There’s got to be police in the schools and helping the schools. When I was in school, there was no cops. Parents were called and the parent handled it.

Motion Carries — 5-0 FINANCE I 2.For Possible Action Report by Stephani Elliott, regarding the budget status for the 1st Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026, for Nye County and all sub-entities pursuant to NRS 354.290.
Comptroller Elliott
The budget report for the first quarter of fiscal 26; July, August, and September are preliminary figures. In general, the very first page is our revenue report. Revenues for 2026 haven’t kept pace with our prior year receipts. You can see down at the bottom, we’re down 12% compared to this same time last year. We would like to see 25% marks on those. We do see some are higher, lower, or right on track. 25% of the quarter has elapsed and we’d like to see our revenues tracking at that same pace. That’s not exactly how revenues always come into the county or get posted. We would like to watch this closer especially during the current quarter; this would be second quarter by the end of the year. We should be around 50% of revenues received or at least getting closer to that. Our expenditure report, in the middle of the page, you see under general government total health. We have created a new department function which is now called Animal Services. The numbers are very skewed on this. What’s happened is animal shelter and animal control functions were combined into one. The expenditures are less than what we had spent in the prior.
Commissioner Strickland
How long will we have to carry that excess fund before we can collapse it?
Comptroller Elliott
It’s the same fund, all general fund 10101. This was a separate department function; administration, comptroller office instead of having two.
Commissioner Strickland
We aren’t collapsing that?
Comptroller Elliott
Correct. Fund 10204, land sale costs, very skewed numbers there. That’s because this fund was actually reactivated in fiscal 26. There were no numbers in the prior year that you can see for revenues or expenditures and now that we’re actually 18Page December 2nd 2025, Page19 12. For Possible Action Report by Stephani Elliott, regarding the budget Cont... utilizing that fund, you’ll see that the percentages are a little off skew. Down at the very bottom of fund I 0380 for resilient Nevada; funds that we’ve received through the state about the opioid crisis and the opioid use disorder support prevention plan put in place by our director Karyn Smith is being implemented. We’ve received revenues a few years ago, that has started to taper off for now, but you’ll see a major increase in expenditures because we now have an employee that’s working on implementing programs. Page 5,6,7, and 8; those are separate pages specifically for the towns. We do get quite a few comments or questions regarding town funds, and it’s all in black and white right here. It includes those specific town expenditures, revenues, and the beginning cash balances for each of those funds.
Commissioner Strickland
There are a few things I’d like the board to consider when looking at these figures; We’re 25% in, I’m going to ask if you couldn’t add in the future in the margin, at the top it says, budget collected, balance percent received. If you would have plugged in 25% there, my life would be easier when doing this. What’s interesting to me budgetarily is, there is a lot of backload instead of front load when it comes to managing the county budget. That it’s really hard to look at this and say how can we be down 12%. It’s easy, we have federal and local taxes that we won’t realize until probably the very last week of the year. Same with consolidated tax going through the roof as soon as everybody gets done buying their Christmas goodies. We look bad in that we’re down 12% but you’re going to see that go up with notthis next report butthe following one.
Comptroller Elliott
I noticed reduced interest being credited to revenues, reduced market gains, and then internal functions that we have in accounting for operating transfers. Where in prior years, you see those transfers supporting funding and revenues. Those happen by the end of September. I noticed there were several that happened October 1 st and that wouldn’t be included in this report.

Commissioner Jabbour
Under miscellaneous, we have 3.6 million. Do we know what’s in the miscellaneous?
Comptroller Elliott
Mostly we use that for misc. overhead. A lot of times we do utilize that for our inter fund transfers, and publications in advertisements. Sam Tackett Misc. overhead is our fund that pays for all of our unfunded mandates from the state and all the bills that we pay to keep our state and government services running. This serves miscellaneous overhead for items that impact or benefit all departments. It’s also our postage for the entire county. There is an interfund transfer to risk management to help cover premium and operation costs. We also have a few contracts in there that supply services to the entire county. There’s a lot offunding in there that provides services to our outlying communities.
Commissioner Jabbour
The keyword and where majority of the money goes is the state unfunded mandates. That’s what I wanted to hear. Page 3, 10248 the drug court proceeds, they’re up 82%. Is that correct?
Comptroller Elliott
That does look right to me because we’ve spent $52k compared to $28k the same time last year in fiscal 25. A lot of our drug court facilitators were still grant funded that expired September 30th• We may see increases in employees based on that.
Commissioner Jabbour
Item 10247, district court improvement, is up 2500%. Is that a correct number?
Comptroller Elliott
In the prior year, there was under $1600 that had been expensed. This year there’s been $41 ,000 expensed. When we reviewed, our budget analysts found that there was actually fiscal 26 capital improvement plans that are now being implemented both IN 247 and 246 above facility assessments. We do have some increased capital outlay in fiscal 26 that we did not see at this same time last year.

Motion Carries — 5-0 PUBLIC WORKS 14.For Possible Action Discussion and deliberation to approve to delegate authority to the County Manager to waive fees for Government Agencies and Non- Profits for the landfills. Director Boiling Nye County landfill facilities currently charged tipping fees for all waste except household waste and green waste, on Saturdays. Government agencies such as; Nevada Dept. and transportation, Bureau of Land Management, and other nonprofits like Clean up Pahrump have requested fee waivers as they regularly remove trash and debris, on public land, private property, and roadways. Public Works supports these waiver requests but only the BOCC concurrently authorize waiving the fees for the landfills. To streamline the process, and reduce BOCC agenda items, the DA’s office recommended requesting the BOCC delegate authority to the County Manager. Then the manager would be able to waive fees for government agencies and nonprofits for the landfills. If this item is approved, Public Works will move forward with preparing a memorandum of understanding agreements with NDOT, BLM, Clean up Pahrump, and any other verifiable nonprofit that would like to do clean up in Nye County. That’s not only in Pahrump, that’s throughout the county. Once prepared, they will be submitted to the County Manager for approval.
Public Comment Beth Borysewich You raised or implemented rates for all of the people in town. We’re going to probably have to raise the rates again because of the nonprofits and government facilities are going to get to dump for free. It’s not fair or right. Michael David Garcia I implore you to do your own research when it comes to disclosure. Not disclosing when we’re allocating more authority doesn’t make sense. Are we double dipping fees when two DA’s present. We need to pay attention to how many billable hours the DA is giving you false and erroneous disclosures when you do share a pecuniary interest. Whether it’s authority or a financial gain, it’s completely ludicrous. As 21 Page December 2d, 2025, Page 22 14.

Suzie Hens We have limited space in our landfill, and you’ve raised the taxes for helping support the landfill. For us to give free reign to whether it’s government or nonprofits doesn’t seem appropriate. We need to generate revenues to be able to get a new landfill or expand this landfill at some point in the near future on the backs of the taxpayers. The state and other government entities have budgets. I appreciate that they do pick up what they do making our environment more pleasant and more visually aesthetic. We can’t open the doors and let all the trash fall in and forget about the fact that we’ll have no more dumping space. Ammie Nelson We should turn this down. We have days where they don’t have to pay and they can go there then. There’s groups around town that do clean up but BLM, but that’s theirjob. They shouldn’t get a free ride. When we have to expand, you can get free BLM land by filling out paperwork. Let them know what you’re going to use the land for so you can get thousands of acres. You’ll have minimal cost filling out the paperwork. Matt Sadler I’m for making it the way it was before we voted with all these extra fees that caused mass confusion, anger, and a burden on us taxpayers. I’m in favor of writing a cleaner measure that you folks can go ahead and vote on to approve to allow the same end with nonprofits and with BLM being able to dump whenever they need to. When people want to volunteer, they have them pick up stuff and dump it; it’s insane to make them pay to do a community service.

Commissioner Koenig
When we’re talking about the Sheriffs in the school; Nye County doesn’t have any money, and apparently the school board doesn’t have any money. We gave raises to a bunch of people, that’s going to cost us money. Fuel, food, electricity; everything is going up. Except we’re not getting any more money coming in and that’s our problem. We’ve taken steps to hopefully make that number get bigger in the fairly near future by changing what we get for new homes when they build them. The Sheriff said we need more cops, that we can’t afford. How do we afford more stuff without getting people upset with the word that starts with a T, because we haven’t gone for taxes.
Commissioner Jabbour
I am ashamed and disappointed that I wasn’t seated five plus years ago to address what happened in the school district. I would have been at the forefront to address everything that happened. My word is focus, let’s focus. Manager Waggoner — I love the word that Commissioner Jabbour used, focus.

They began the Service Dog Program in November 2018. By February 2019 I knew Sid would not make it through the program. Kent made the difficult decision to release Sid. I arranged to send Sid to a Diabetic Alert Dog Program in California. I found Emma at a Veterans Service Dog Program in New Orleans. She was too calm for their Diabetic Alert Dog Program. I encouraged Kent to consider her as his partner and the rest as they say is history. They completed the PTSD Veterans Service Dog Program in April 2019. Exhibitj, fr a tid[it oii can live with wwJh Public Comments BOCC Meeting 12.2.25 When the fairgrounds land was first donated to the TOP over 20 years ago, families were excited that we would finally have enough ball fields for their kids’ sports teams to practice and compete on. Some families have resorted to driving their kids to Vegas for their sporting practices and games. The practice field competition in Pahrump is fierce and I’ve been told from parents with daughters, that the girls get the worst schedules. 20 + years = 20 years is a generation I 20 classes of graduates, over 5000 kids have graduated since the land was ‘gifted’. We have 5 parks in town ofwhich at least 3; Simpkins, Ian Deitch, and Kellogg all have adjacent undeveloped land (the others may too)l,And, the TOP recently bought an additionai8 acres adjacent to Kellogg Park for $80,000. The TOP has $2,000,000 just sitting in an account to upgrade that park! It is MUCH more cost effective to add ball fields to existing parks where roads, drainage, parking, lighting, water, sewer, and restroom facilities already exist than creating them from nothing, in an area that is baren and quite possibly riddled with our famous ‘poof’ dirt. Since 2016 TOP has been awarded $2,228,928 in grants to improve the gifted ‘fairgrounds’ property. All they have to show is 2 holes in the ground. Now they are asking for more grant money to connect the two holes in the ground. It .has been 9 years since the initial grant money was awarded. Not one field been built! An OHV (piles of dirt pushed into place to form a track) serves a handful of kids while hundreds of Pahrump kids play on teams that have to fight for practice time. IF we actually cared about our kids, we would have put in additional ball fields at our existing parks long ago! Twenty years of inaction speaks volumes and frankly, says otherwise.
