Mr. Dahl

stated that he sent a letter to NDOT regarding the beautification project in Tonopah. He has not heard back from Department Of Transportation and the ending deadline was May 4th. Tim stated that he is not sure what direction they are going, whether it’s down the current path or whether they’ll consider to re-stripe that lane in each direction with a left turn lane in the center. Tim stated that as soon as he hears back he will share it with the board.

Mr. Dahl

stated that he is having a hard time finding the property owners on Hawkins and Mary Lou. He will continue his search for the ROW. Tim updated the board on the Homestead pre-bid meeting. He stated that there were 3 contractors that showed up for that and had many questions to clarify. Tim stated that he provided those answers online. Tim is hoping that the bids will come in by the 24th of May and he’s hoping it comes in around the budget so that he will not have to come to the board and ask for more funding. Commissioner Schinhofen stated that if it comes in under budget then we can award the bid by the first meeting in June. Tim stated that the new LED STOP signs are going up. The first two have been installed on Bell Vista and 160 and Mesquite and 160. Tim stated that one has failed but he is sending it back. Tim also stated that Lynnette, Annette and he and Darrin went to the Transportation Conference in Vegas and it was very interesting to see how those projects are funded, of course they have a much bigger infrastructure than we do and a bigger source of revenue than we do.

Commissioner Schinhofen

stated that we have the same authorities as them and we could do a lot more also. Tim stated that he will continue to look for more events like that to attend so that we have information on funds and sources to utilize as well.

Commissioner Schinhofen

asked about Hafen Road where Indian Village splits off. Tim stated that our surveyor was out sick this week but it will get done next week. Opened back up for further discussion-Tim stated that we have had some discussion about the spending of the Transportation Fund and he believes that John asked him to put together an agenda item so that this board could authorize him to approve the spending of those funds.

Commissioner Koenig

stated that if the money is not rolling over then Albert will have about a month to get the expenditures together and approved so that he can use the FY17/18 money.

Commissioner Keonig

stated that it needs to be re-agendized for the next meeting so that Tim is able to approve those expenditures and at the same time Albert will need to bring any invoices he wants paid by that fund so that he doesn’t lose that money before the end of the fiscal year. Commissioner Koenig stated that by the next fiscal year those funds can be approved by Tim. Albert clarified that these funds are only to be utilized by 5311, 5310, 5339-NDOT funded programs. Commissioner Koenig asked what the code says about the spending of the money. Savannah stated that she will get the NRS for that and then clarify. Albert Bass stated that it only says Public Transportation. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION: Discussion and decision regarding the approval of the Minutes for April 10th Meeting

Savannah stated that she has a meeting with Albert as well to discuss this funding as the question he has was if these funds would be rolled into the next fiscal year.

Commissioner Koenig

stated no. Savannah stated that she has it set aside for this year then as well. Tim stated that there haven’t been too many changes from previous year’s budgets.
