Mr. Blundo

Commissioner Koenig

second that. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION: Discussion and decision regarding the approval of the Minutes for June 6th and June 14th Meeting

Mr. Blundo

motioned to approve the minutes. Commissioner Koenig second. Motion approved. Regional Transportation Commission – Minutes August 15th, 2018 FOR POSSIBLE ACTION DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION- on comments to NDOT concerning alternatives for I-11 analysis of Northern Nevada routes and bypasses for Nye County communities.

Mr. Darrell

Lacy of Nye County Planning, stated that he attended the NDOT meeting for the I-11 corridor. Mr. Lacy stated that it was important for us to give our input regarding the routes that will be going through Nye County. NDOT is looking at a 400’ interstate right of way with divided highways and 12’ shoulders. They had a preliminary review of the routes from Las Vegas to 1-80 in the North. When they looked at the Tonopah area there were little options regarding doing anything different. The map segments in the back up show the alternative routes. B1 is the route that we approved about 5 years ago, but the routes have not been agreed upon in Beatty and Tonopah. Commissioner Koenig stated that he thinks that it is the best route. Mr. Lacy stated there are a couple of reasons we liked this route, one being that it is a shorter distance between Las Vegas and Reno by about 30 minutes. However, in a meeting he had with NDOT they preferred going to the east side of Walker Lake instead of the west.

Mr. Lacy

stated that this will take 30 to 50 years to build the entire corridor. Mr. Lacy would like the support of this board for NDOT to carry on with their purposed Poleline route. Over the next few months Mr. Lacy will work on the alternative routes through Beatty and Tonopah.

Mr. Lacy

stated that he wants to work with NDOT on this and they are willing to come to Nye County to discuss it as well.

Commissioner Koenig

asked if the routes in Tonopah have been decided. Mr. Lacy stated no, they are willing to sit down and discuss different alternatives.

Commissioner Koenig

stated that Mr. Lacy has the support of this board to continue researching alternative routes through Nye County for the I-11 Interstate. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION- to consider adding less than one mile of pavement to the end of Senita Courts Road in the Round Mountain area and an overlay on Penola Rd.

Mr. Dahl

stated that he spoke to some residents in Round Mountain, along with Doug Baker and Commissioner Wichman. The residents would like to see us utilize the contractor that is already up there doing work on the northern Nye roads for an overlay on Senita Court. Mr. Dahl stated that he does not believe that Penola Road is a good candidate for an overlay, chip seal would be more appropriate. Tim stated that by using the numbers we have had in the past for overlay projects, he came up with about $70,000.00 to do that overlay on the 3500 feet on Senita Court. Commissioner Koenig asked of this was in Hadley or Round Mountain. Tim stated neither, its in Carvers.

Mr. Blundo

asked if we had the money to do this. Mr. Dahl stated yes. It’s in the RTC Budget.

Mr. Blundo

also asked if by doing this it would affect our priority list of projects. Tim stated no.

Mr. Blundo

asked if Tim knew what the estimated cost of savings would be for this since the contractor is already up there. Tim stated that it’s all in the hauling of material and equipment (mobilizing and demobilizing) and that would not be included since the contractors are already there with their equipment and material

Mr. Blundo

made a motion to approve this item. Commissioner Koenig second. Approved. 2 Regional Transportation Commission – Minutes August 15th, 2018 FOR POSSIBLE ACTION DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION- a stipend for the RTC Board Members for their services and contributions to the board and funding source for said compensation.

Mr. Blundo

stated that he would like to continue this to the next RTC Meeting. Commissioner Koenig stated that he cannot support this item. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT: (second) No public comment at this time. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION: to set the time and date of next meeting.

Mr. Blundo

motioned for October 10th @ 8:30. Commissioner Koenig second. Motion Approved. ADJOURN: Respectfully Submitted, Lynnette Atkinson 3
