White Pine County, Mineral County, and any other county that had the same issue sothey could have their coroner come out and pronounce so they could get on with theirdays.

Commissioner Borasky said during the Donuts with the DA and Coffee with theCommissioners on Saturday an issue came up regarding the homeless in the Pahrumpcommunity. It was a pleasure to him to know that everyone was somewhat aware ofand concerned about it. He hoped to get some volunteers and do something to helpthat situation.

Commissioner Carbone wanted to be sure putting up the military medallions near theVA clinic along with a bench for viewing was kept on the radar since the veterans putmoney aside for it.

Sheriff Wehrly told Commissioner Wichman that if an incident occurred on Highway 318it took them approximately five hours to get out there.

Commissioner Wichman said the request came from the new White Pine CountyCommissioner who was also a volunteer on the ambulance.

Sam Merlino advised Advanced Data Systems would be shutting down in the nextcouple of years, which would be a cost to the County as it would have to be replaced.Just the voter registration system would be about $30,000.00 to start up.

Mrs. Merlino said the clerks were specifically looking at voter registration as they werevery proprietary. There was a working group handling that and she would keep theBoard updated.

Mrs. Merlino said the Secretary of State was helping them figure out which vendor theyworked best with, but there were a lot of requirements for certain reports.

15. For Possible Action — Approval of a no-cost extension to the FFYI6Emergency Preparedness Working Group (EPWG) grant performance periodextending the period to August 31, 2017. This grant is administered out of Fund10340 Grants.

Commissioner Borasky made a motion to approve items 15 through 18; seconded byCommissioner Schinhofen.

Commissioner Cox asked for an explanation of how the grants fund worked, how themoney got there, and if there was enough money to do to this as the budget sheetshowed the County in the hole on the grants fund.

Savannah Rucker said the grants fund operated as a reimbursement fund so theCounty expended items and requested draw downs. They were working on an interfundloan to be able to operate that fund as a positive fund balance. Until then that was howit would function and it had functioned in that manner for years.

Commissioner Wichman added many of the grants dictated the County would not getthe money until it sent receipts.

Commissioner Carbone asked if an interfund loan had to be done each time thishappened.

Ms. Rucker stated if the expense was more than the interfund loan then the loan wouldhave to be increased, but they were going to average out what the negative balancehad been over the last couple of years and do an interfund loan to cover that average.

Angela Bello asked if the matching funds for the County went into that fund.

Ms. Rucker said the match came from the general fund for department.

Commissioner Cox said she did not like doing it this way. She did not want to get into aposition where four years down the line the County did not have any money to employthe officers. Commissioner Cox thought these things needed to be done differently asshe did not like spending money on a promise and hope to get it back.

Commissioner Wichman asked on item 16, the COPS grant, if there was a requirementfor that position to be continued after the grant fund was gone. When she was told yes,she stated she was with Commissioner Cox as she missed that part.

Sheriff Wehrly stated they were losing between three and five people every year so theywould not have a problem bringing those people in under a regular basis.

Commissioner Wichman was not comfortable with that. The Sheriff was talking abouthiring other people and there was a small range of time for the grant to pay for their job.By accepting this grant the County was agreeing to maintain that position well beyondthe grant.

Commissioner Cox stated she did not have a problem replacing officers the Sheriff waslosing, but she did have a problem with hiring out of grants.

Commissioner Carbone asked Sheriff Wehrly what the consequences would be if thisone did not get approved.

Sheriff Wehrly said they just would not have people to add to Beatty, Tonopah andRound Mountain.


15. For Possible Action — Approval of a no-cost extension to the FFYI6Emergency Preparedness Working Group (EPWG) grant performance periodextending the period to August 31, 2017. This grant is administered out of Fund10340 Grants.-Cont’d.

Commissioner Cox noted people had been added to those areas atready and she wouldlike to replace the people in Pahrump.

Sheriff Wehrly explained she was trying to keep a constant and add in the northernareas, but she could not keep a constant if she took from one place and put them inanother.

Commissioner Wichman said her concern was the County was issued a federal grantfor COPS and agreed to everything in that grant. Then next year the County’s budgetwas reduced again and the minute someone was laid off or that position was notmaintained the County had to pay the entire thing back. She was not willing to go thereas she did not know how to make that a logical decision in her mind to make promisesfive or six years out when she did not know what was going on now.

Pam Webster advised the County had been met with that situation in the past and thegranting agency was lenient and understanding as they were seeing it happenthroughout the nation.

Commissioner Wichman stated that was an economic hardship and she understoodthat, but that was not written into the grant.

Mrs. Webster said another option would be to use the PSST money as these would benew positions to Nye County once they came off the grant.

Commissioner Carbone said the Sheriff was looking at that.

Commissioner Cox thought these could be brought back next year when the new planwas in place. She asked how many new people had been hired this year.

Sheriff Wehrly stated that was due to attrition and they had replaced people at a lowerscale.

Commissioner Schinhofen said he had supported this grant in the past and intended tosupport it today because the deputies were needed. He pointed out that according tothe back-up this would come out of the Sheriffs funds so she knew she needed tobudget for that.

Commissioner Wichman said her problem was that it created positions that did not goaway. While the Sheriff may be able to put it into her budget for next year, in four yearsfrom now there would be extra positions that had been added and they would stay inperpetuity.

Dave Stephens did not think $150,000.00 was too much.

Ammie Nelson was not in favor of using any kind of budget from the County for thesepositions when they were already budgeted in the Sheriffs Department.

Dwight Lilly was a believer of staying within budget and while the future might not be aproblem, this was not a bet he thought the taxpayers of Nye County should be making.

An additional site of interest was the Nye Regional Medical Center.

Commissioner Wichman asked if the final of the Nye Regional assessment had comein.

Ms. Schlick said she had not received one, but she wou’d ask today if it was availableand let Commissioner Wichman know.

Ms. Schlick said one of the best things about the program was the ability to highlightaccomplishments and advertise the opportunities available in Nye County. Just thisyear the 2016 State of Nevada Brownfields workshop was held on September 20, 2016,and the RDSBC representatives traveled to the location and gave a presentation. Alsothis year the Western Brownfields conference was on September 28-29, 2016, andRDSBC representatives from Nye County had their travel, lodging and per diem fundedby the grant and also provided a presentation.

the Web site where specific Brownfields projects were available to hopefully enticedevelopers to look at the opportunities available within the County for continuedassessment and redevelopment opportunities.

Commissioner Borasky applauded former Commissioner Eastley for starting thisBrownfields grant.

Dwight Lilly wondered if the hazardous waste dump at the south end of Beatty whereuranium was stored would be looked at.

32. For Possible Action — Discussion and deliberation regarding the budgetstatus through October 2016 for Nye County Fiscal Year 2017, budget proiectionsand possible actions.

Savannah Rucker noted the report was through October 31, 2016. Most departmentswere under the threshold of 33% with 33% of the year lapsed and if they had anoverage it was because of contractual items that were encumbered in the beginning ofthe year.

Commissioner Carbone was concerned about Animal Control for the Sheriff and makingsure Animal Control in the north was taken care of.

Ms. Rucker explained Animal Control in Tonopah was overseen by EMS and AnimalControl in Pahrump was overseen by the Sheriffs Office. Based on her conversationwith Commissioner Carbone earlier she would reach out to the Sheriff to discuss theirstatus and overtime.

Commissioner Cox was present.

Commissioner Wichman commented it looked like many of the revenues were waybelow where they should be, but she thought that was normal.

Ms. Rucker said yes and explained the County saw approximately 25% of its revenu inthe last two months of the year.

Commissioner Schinhofen thought it had been misunderstood by some of the public.He commented that over the last six years that he had been on the Board he had seena lot of cuts made. He said he saw light at the end of the tunnel and it was not as direas some people wanted to forecast.

Mrs. Webster pointed to the real property line on the revenue page showing twocollections of the four quarters of property taxes and with two it was at 60%, which wasa pretty strong number. Also, the consolidated tax was only two months because of athree month lag so that was only a sixth of that income and the County was right on

Commissioner Wichman said she was going to amend it because there was language inSection 2.21 that she overlooked and never would have agreed to. Electronic cigaretteswere not tobacco use. They were a method for eliminating tobacco use and quittingsmoking and she never would have voted for that.
