1
00:01:01,470 --> 00:01:20,530
In accordance with NRS chapter 241, the Commission may one change the order of the agenda to combine two or more of the items for consideration, and three, removing item from the agenda related discussion relating to an item on the agenda at any time, and then four, if the agenda is not completed, recess the meeting, and continue on another specified time and date.

2
00:01:20,530 --> 00:01:32,970
The Commission may interrupt the open meeting and exclude the public for the purpose of having an attorney client discussion to receive legal advice and to deliberate on the legal advice pursuant to NRS-241-015-4C.

3
00:01:33,410 --> 00:01:42,990
The Commission may break from lunch from 12pm to 15pm, person who invited to submit written comments in writing and were attended may comment on any agenda item at the Commission meeting.

4
00:01:43,730 --> 00:01:49,250
The public can comment on any agenda item by being acknowledged by the chair while the Commission considers that agenda item.

5
00:01:49,250 --> 00:01:52,510
I'll probably comment maybe limited to three minutes per person.

6
00:01:53,650 --> 00:01:54,470
I'll call this meeting door.

7
00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:57,190
Alicia, would you leave some of the legislature?

8
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:04,180
Hi, I play the duties as to the five of the United States of America.

9
00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:10,100
And see three public for which it's saying it's the automation under our individual

10
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:14,300
with liberty and justice for all.

11
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,160
We'll have a moment of silence.

12
00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:28,900
We'll move into Commissioner Reports.

13
00:02:29,180 --> 00:02:30,400
Michael, start with you.

14
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,600
You're a part, okay?

15
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:32,080
Come on.

16
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,760
Good morning, everybody.

17
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,760
I attended the CWPP meeting with Lewis from RCI at the Civic Center.

18
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:46,620
I went over the CWPP draft with community members and had pretty good feedback.

19
00:02:47,180 --> 00:02:50,660
Every RCI did a great job in handling that project.

20
00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:58,900
coming together really well. I also went on the SSR Marigold Tour with Senator Cortez

21
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:04,500
Mastel. I did give an update on some of our challenges in Landre County with housing

22
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:09,940
workforce, et cetera. I did thank the Senator and SSR for their support throughout

23
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:16,640
our communities. We did end up touring the future Buffalo Valley pit that is in Landre County.

24
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:22,100
that people have approximately seven years of active mining and about six years of

25
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:27,120
reclamation and about ten years of post-closure monitoring. So currently that

26
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,920
pit is in NEPA permitting and that's it.

27
00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:33,680
Okay, thank you, I'll take a look at that.

28
00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:35,420
Okay, NEPA.

29
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,180
Let me see, I attended the airport board meeting the new floors. I didn't attend the

30
00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:43,240
in person, but I did online and they're all very happy with the new flooring and

31
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,680
that's in the airport, and we talked about doing better air conditioning in there because

32
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,780
that's the little unit that's so hot in there. And then Kingston Town Board, they're

33
00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:58,640
moving forward on their well drilling and getting ready for Kingston days, which is coming

34
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:06,780
up next weekend, Labor Day weekend, hope everybody can attend. And then I did a through

35
00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:15,200
I did a rural housing. We have a subcommittee for rural housing and the BLM did a really long presentation on how we can acquire the land

36
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:22,280
But Sean also listened in on all of that and now he knows where to go and what to do on that. So that's it for me

37
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:22,780
Thank you

38
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,780
All right, we'll move into staff reports in comments

39
00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:30,220
Good morning questions. I'll just give a quick project update

40
00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:34,060
But we're currently about 70% completely on the fire hall across the street.

41
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,840
We'll be paving the second, third week of September over there.

42
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,840
So that's coming on really nice.

43
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:40,660
The golf course.

44
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,480
We have 13 acres left of our 46 acres of saw that is being laid down.

45
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:49,440
Or to be 99% complete when that's finished being laid.

46
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,320
We won't be doing the sand traps until the spring of next year.

47
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,180
And the thought process behind that is you lay sawed in your extra sawed into them.

48
00:04:59,180 --> 00:04:59,920
and traps you let it.

49
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:24,820
Just get established and growing. Then you spray it and kill it, so it creates like a kind of an area where when clubs hit it, it protects it, you don't make sure they're, and it also, a lot of fresh new sand traps for the start of the next fall season. So, they won't, they won't have the winner to sit as well. So, that's what's going on there. If you get a chance to stop by, I look at the pond. It looks really good. The paving pass around of a growing ice as well.

50
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,760
The safe route is a school phase four which is over on second street if you guys get a chance you might run by there as well

51
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,760
And more first second

52
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,060
I don't know the name of the little street that kind of goes around by the by the trailer court that's over there

53
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:42,940
But when we put sidewalks on both sides and pay the street it makes it look like a whole new little community over there

54
00:05:42,940 --> 00:05:45,680
So if you get a chance go take a peek at that looks really nice

55
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,960
The event center if you guys can see we're starting the masquerading

56
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,400
They're hauling, I think, 84 yesterday, they brought 144 loads of material in there with

57
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,240
belly dumps and a pup trailer behind them and you can't even tell that they touched it.

58
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:05,960
So that's how much material that's being hauled in there.

59
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:09,760
They created a little side road that's kind of shootback or behind everything so we're trying

60
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,120
to stay out of the school zones as much as possible away from the kids as best we can, but they'll

61
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:22,260
doing that for pretty good percentage and foreseeable future just getting the mass grading done.

62
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,300
Austin, the upper booster station, I think I think these probably went by and seen that.

63
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:37,460
The building is up, we got some measurements that we're getting on some of the walls and some of the inside things there to make sure that all of our packing everything will fit for repairs there or any other need in the future.

64
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:39,260
But that project's going well.

65
00:06:39,780 --> 00:06:44,020
We'll be planning on paving that and the community center up there at the same time.

66
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:50,240
We're waiting on a word back main in K when their hot plan will be up and going in there up there to do that patchwork for both them projects.

67
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:52,260
So that is in the works.

68
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,400
And we are still getting together our software opening for our grand opening anyway for the Austin community center.

69
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:07,340
I'll all look at you guys a little further on that when we have some solidates on some of the equipment that's coming in and things like that.

70
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:12,000
And then the only other thing I'd say is I'd encourage everybody to take a look at some of the

71
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,480
murals that are going up around town.

72
00:07:14,020 --> 00:07:16,560
The old fire hall looks really nice, there's one on it.

73
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:22,340
If you go by the sports complex, we brought a company in from when a mucket that knocked

74
00:07:22,340 --> 00:07:26,100
all the graffiti off the buildings there, cleaned a bunch of our courts, and did things

75
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:26,520
like that.

76
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,380
And then had these guys put in murals up on them as we go.

77
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:33,600
So, Austin, we have some of that in mind, I was touching with the earlier today.

78
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:43,380
So, if anybody has any ideas, we are thinking the new building, we just put up there, not our community center, but the old community center, or...

79
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:44,640
Formally known as use center.

80
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,920
Yeah, formerly known as use center, we want to do one on the wall there.

81
00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:51,340
So, if anybody has any ideas, we're happy to take them.

82
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:52,760
I think he had a few.

83
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,940
We'd like to put something pretty on that wall, so that's all that I have.

84
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,860
Thank you, Bert.

85
00:07:58,060 --> 00:08:01,520
I just have to comment, I drove by the firehouse, the old firehouse today.

86
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,940
It looks amazing. If you guys haven't been by there, you need to go look at it. The mural is beautiful and the building

87
00:08:06,940 --> 00:08:09,200
A whole new facelift. It looks amazing.

88
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,260
All right. We'll move into public comment for non-agendaized items. Only is there any public comment.

89
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,660
Okay. We'll move into our consent agenda.

90
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:21,280
All matters less than or the consent agenda are considered a routine.

91
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,000
And maybe acted upon by the Board of County Commissioners with one action without extensive discussion.

92
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,200
Any member of the Board or any citizen may request an an item to be taken from the consent agenda

93
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,560
to discuss and act upon separately during this meeting.

94
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:34,360
Because then again, the material that are available

95
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,160
on a kind of clerk's office for viewing

96
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,440
and copies are available for a nominal charge.

97
00:08:38,740 --> 00:08:41,280
We have one approval of August 27th,

98
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,200
2021, 26th, agenda notice, and on that,

99
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,440
we need to amend item 1.6.

100
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:50,360
It should note in there that

101
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,900
90-county convention and tourism,

102
00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:54,780
formally known as 90-county fair and recreation board.

103
00:08:57,140 --> 00:08:59,200
We have two approval of July 9th,

104
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:07,740
2026 meeting minutes, three approval of July 23rd, 2026 meeting minutes, and four approval of August 13th, 2026 meeting minutes.

105
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:12,100
So it looks like we need a motion on items 1 and 2.

106
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:26,220
Make a motion to provide a one with the amendment noted on 1.6, the vervage to have the

107
00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:30,060
to the approval of July 9th, 2020, 26 meeting minutes.

108
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,420
Okay, so we have a motion to approve one and two.

109
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,040
There's second.

110
00:09:33,140 --> 00:09:33,620
Second.

111
00:09:33,980 --> 00:09:34,220
Okay.

112
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,240
We have a motion and second.

113
00:09:35,460 --> 00:09:36,120
All of every say aye.

114
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:36,680
All right.

115
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,320
We'll move into 1.1.

116
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:44,400
For discussion, a possible action to approve the payment bills, the two text will need the

117
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:44,840
poll.

118
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,560
First check is number two, three, zero, zero, two, five, and that is a check to the Austin Historical

119
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:52,160
Society.

120
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:58,760
and then we also have a check number APA0044486 and that's a check payable 2.S.

121
00:09:59,480 --> 00:09:59,960
So there's no pay.

122
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:14,720
Question on the remainder of the bills. I'll hear a motion to vote. Yes. Before you guys get in there, I have to disclose the EFT's number 6396682 and 6381 are to a family member that is doing the murals.

123
00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:19,660
He's singing from the other up my nephew, so Bill is out and out of it this closure.

124
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,400
Okay.

125
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,420
Thanks for that disclosure, sir.

126
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:29,120
So if there's nothing more on the remainder of the bills, I'll hear a motion to pay.

127
00:10:29,660 --> 00:10:32,440
We commotion to approve the remainder of the bills.

128
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,080
Second.

129
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,360
Okay, we have a motion in a second.

130
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,220
On the favor say aye.

131
00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:35,600
Bye.

132
00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:36,500
Okay.

133
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:40,640
I'll make a motion that we pay check number two, three, zero, zero, two, five,

134
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,160
to the Austin Historical Society.

135
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:42,980
On second.

136
00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:45,600
Okay, we have a motion in a second. I'll pay for say aye.

137
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:45,900

I have staying. I'm an active number of the historical society.

139
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,600
Okay. Thank you, D.

140
00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:54,900
Now, make a motion to approve APA-004486.

141
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:55,520
Second.

142
00:10:55,820 --> 00:10:57,620
We have a motion in a second. I'll pay for say aye.

143
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,300
All right.

144
00:10:58,340 --> 00:11:01,920
Okay. I abstain because point S is a client of mine.

145
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,860
Okay. So moving on 1.2 for discussion

146
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:10,540
and possible action to approve to approve or make a decision regarding the reimbursement

147
00:11:10,540 --> 00:11:13,820
for all reports of the unpaid space slash newter vouchers

148
00:11:13,820 --> 00:11:16,560
remitted by Desert Trails Veterinary Clinic,

149
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,560
totaling $16,830.

150
00:11:20,990 --> 00:11:23,210
We have this on the agenda before, right?

151
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:24,210
And talked about it.

152
00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:25,910
Yeah, I think, yes, exactly.

153
00:11:26,170 --> 00:11:27,930
I thought, ability, do you say you're going

154
00:11:27,930 --> 00:11:30,430
to try and reach out to the person and talk to him

155
00:11:30,430 --> 00:11:30,750
if I remember?

156
00:11:30,750 --> 00:11:31,410
Yeah, I do.

157
00:11:31,830 --> 00:11:36,250
And they wanted to be here and they put this on.

158
00:11:36,970 --> 00:11:37,530
Are they here?

159
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:40,350
Anybody here from Desert Trails?

160
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:08,400
I don't want to say anything because we're maybe heading into a litigation and anything that I say somebody may use against me

161
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:17,740
Well, if I remember right, unless I go unless I'm granted close session, I think we need to.

162
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,200
Yeah, if I remember right, I think in Robert, you can correct me if I'm wrong.

163
00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:27,180
It is that they, to be part of that system, they agreed to operate at a certain standard.

164
00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:31,340
And I think the impression was given to this board last time we spoke about it.

165
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,540
They didn't meet that standard.

166
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,400
But now they're wanting payment inside of that.

167
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,720
basically correct?

168
00:12:42,810 --> 00:12:45,390
Robert Quick for the sheriff's office, that would be correct.

169
00:12:47,250 --> 00:12:52,450
So does commission have anything on this item, as far as paying it, not paying it?

170
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:57,790
So on this last year, it was the same kind of thing we had a breakdown in communications.

171
00:12:57,790 --> 00:13:03,430
What it sounded like, things were going to certain places where they weren't getting submitted on time.

172
00:13:03,770 --> 00:13:08,290
I just kind of vaguely remember last year we had the same, same issues.

173
00:13:11,940 --> 00:13:16,940
Robert Quinn for the Sheriff's Office. This has been an ongoing issue with this one particular

174
00:13:18,180 --> 00:13:23,880
service where they will either need a paperwork or they won't submit in a timely manner

175
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,600
that's required.

176
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:30,220
Because as looking through the back up, so the services were provided. I mean, you look through the spreadsheet

177
00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:34,040
and it has everybody that they provided the service for.

178
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:37,140
Well, that's a spreadsheet that they claim they provided for.

179
00:13:37,140 --> 00:13:43,280
provide a no documentation for those. That's why they were not reimbursed or they provided them late.

180
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,250
Okay. All right.

181
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:50,880
And did we pay any after the last meeting? Did I thought we paid?

182
00:13:51,040 --> 00:14:06,360
No, we paid for that service. We paid when they submit the vouchers and the

183
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:13,220
paperwork or they did not submit it in a timely manner. After that they submitted something

184
00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:16,660
in a timely manner with the correct paperwork that we're paying.

185
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:20,780
So we're still just talking about the pass bill from 2024 to 2025.

186
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,720
That's the day that they have submitted proof of the course of the standard that he agreed to.

187
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,300
The standard sheriff, what are we waiting for as far as what they haven't provided?

188
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:34,480
We know what they have provided, but what have they not provided? Or is it just in the time

189
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:41,840
they've provided. It's a variety either they didn't submit anything or they didn't submit the voucher or they

190
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,840
submitted them well after they were required to be submitted. Okay. Thank you.

191
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,100
Because it's basically the voucher as an expiration date, correct? It does. Yes. The bed,

192
00:14:54,780 --> 00:14:59,960
every bed, it's very clear on that that everybody has 30 days to submit the invoice.

193
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,420
Police and the copy of the voucher, and this is the only vet service that we have an issue with.

194
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,180
And are we still doing business with them?

195
00:15:08,260 --> 00:15:12,720
We are, as long as they submit paperwork correctly and then a timely matter.

196
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,780
And they've been doing that.

197
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:16,460
Often on.

198
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:18,120
Often on, okay, well.

199
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,900
So I think whatever we decide today is going to kind of set the stage forward.

200
00:15:22,940 --> 00:15:23,540
I think so.

201
00:15:23,540 --> 00:15:27,780
future behavior, so it's, anyway, it does commission having

202
00:15:27,780 --> 00:15:31,960
more on this, and it's not, I'll hear a motion.

203
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:37,520
If all of this suggestion would be just to move on, I'd

204
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,040
until we find out why on earth they're not here, there may be

205
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,180
a reason who knows.

206
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,420
Well, they said, they were notified, and it was there

207
00:15:47,420 --> 00:15:48,320
requests.

208
00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:49,440
They're identified as well.

209
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,920
Well, I just, that's just to prove the point.

210
00:15:51,920 --> 00:16:00,840
It's like it's obviously they're having hard time following instructions and so anyway, I, I, I, I, I, I would work on the decision.

211
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:15,080
I think we should just to make this fair go through and review the back clinics that we're working with and any of them that we're having issues with make a decision whether we want to continue to do business with them or not.

212
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:20,060
And that would make it so that we're not being pretty this against one vet clinic that

213
00:16:20,060 --> 00:16:23,900
we're working with all of them, and if we decide not to do business with certain businesses

214
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:29,340
after that, then we have done a review of all of the vet clinics that we work with and

215
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:31,160
how they handle the matters.

216
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,060
Yeah, all of the respect, I think we're just kicking the can down the road, because our

217
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:38,880
undersharp did testify that this is the only vendor they're having problems.

218
00:16:39,420 --> 00:16:41,260
So they're the only one they're having the problem.

219
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,540
But if we're getting ready to go into litigation, we need to show that we're not showing

220
00:16:44,540 --> 00:16:49,660
favor to, or, you know, being, I can talk about this.

221
00:16:50,180 --> 00:16:50,740
I can talk about this.

222
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,220
Also, I mean, if services were provided, and they were completed, and if they

223
00:16:57,220 --> 00:17:00,180
they can prove that they were completed, I mean, they should get paid for that.

224
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:01,120
That's the problem.

225
00:17:01,180 --> 00:17:03,280
But if they're not, if they're not submitting it.

226
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:06,720
You know, that's part of the, part of the two-way deal.

227
00:17:06,740 --> 00:17:08,080
And you don't get to break the rules.

228
00:17:08,380 --> 00:17:12,060
If you have a voucher, I mean, it's no different than if you go into Walmart with a coupon

229
00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:17,060
for detergent and it's fired, they are not going to take it.

230
00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:26,040
I'd be open to giving them 30 days or to get all proof of everything proof before this

231
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,220
is completely disapproved, is giving them some time.

232
00:17:29,740 --> 00:17:31,460
But you know, sounds like we've given them a time already.

233
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,640
You know, this is something we can come back to.

234
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,340
If unless you want to give them 30 days or a week or a week.

235
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:45,280
I think we've given plenty of time. Robert, this goes back to like 2021, isn't it?

236
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,360
It's like way back.

237
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,740
I mean, that's five years.

238
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:53,540
Robert, quick for the sheriff's office.

239
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,740
Based on what they submitted on their agenda request, it appears that way.

240
00:18:01,630 --> 00:18:05,850
I'd be okay given them 30 days if they can't get everything in line in 30 days,

241
00:18:05,950 --> 00:18:07,810
and it's just approved and we move on.

242
00:18:08,850 --> 00:18:19,330
So I'd like to make a motion to approve regarding the reimbursement for all or part of the

243
00:18:19,330 --> 00:18:25,910
unpaid, spade-neuter vouchers, remitted by desert trails, veterinary clinic, totaling

244
00:18:25,910 --> 00:18:33,230
$16,830 with the time limit of 30 days, if 30 days is not, if everything is not provided

245
00:18:33,230 --> 00:18:37,030
within 30 days and this will be disapproved and we're going to move on.

246
00:18:37,390 --> 00:18:39,250
Okay, so we have a motion on the floor.

247
00:18:39,490 --> 00:18:40,270
Is there a second?

248
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:44,480
No second.

249
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,000
So is there another motion that somebody would like to make?

250
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:51,860
Well, I'm going to make a motion.

251
00:18:52,020 --> 00:18:55,000
We did a prove it because they didn't give them all the documentation that they needed.

252
00:18:55,980 --> 00:18:56,780
All second that motion.

253
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,260
So we have a motion and a second on the floor.

254
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:02,960
All in favor say aye.

255
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:03,540
Aye.

256
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:04,840
Opposed?

257
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:05,760
I'm going to put it in me.

258
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,460
All right.

259
00:19:07,780 --> 00:19:08,200
We'll move on.

260
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:08,860
1.3.

261
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,860
For a view consideration of possible action on a business improvement program request.

262
00:19:13,860 --> 00:19:20,400
in an amount of 25,000 dollars for Cassidy management group doing business as McDonald's,

263
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:26,580
Battle Mountain, to apply an overlay and strike the parking lot located at 930 Royal

264
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:27,900
Branch Road.

265
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:34,670
Do we have the business owner here or on the line?

266
00:19:35,070 --> 00:19:36,430
Anybody from McDonald's?

267
00:19:43,650 --> 00:19:45,390
Does the commission have anything on this item?

268
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:46,450
No, I don't.

269
00:19:46,670 --> 00:19:48,590
If they can't show up, why would they approve it?

270
00:19:48,910 --> 00:19:49,490
I say.

271
00:19:49,930 --> 00:19:50,310
Okay.

272
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:59,970
Well, this, we've always had the expectation or a minute to have anybody that comes in for a business improvement plan every day come in and we get...

273
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,140
Talk with the minutes. It's for the maximum out of $25,000 in the can show up.

274
00:20:06,740 --> 00:20:08,060
Yeah, that's a lot of money.

275
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,420
Okay, there's another discussion on it. All here, motion.

276
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:26,370
Motion to disapprove the request for the business improvement program for the capacity management group in the request for $25,000.

277
00:20:28,190 --> 00:20:32,410
and the second, and the second to the Supreme of 10, say aye.

278
00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:36,550
Moving on, 1.4.

279
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:41,990
We need to table as to item because it was in post-it correct and we need to see a cellar's

280
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:44,410
name to be added to a civil table item.

281
00:20:44,750 --> 00:20:46,010
It may be done in our next agenda.

282
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,840
1.5, for discussion and possible action to approve disapprove of Lannister County to provide

283
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:58,360
funding to demolish the lamar building located at six West, Front Street and 80.

284
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,600
West Front Street for future plans to beautify the property.

285
00:21:01,780 --> 00:21:05,700
This was approved as the August 18th, 2026 convention for a community.

286
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,400
So basically, I just want to make sure that everybody's clear that the only thing that's

287
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,900
being asked of the commission is that we assist in the demolition of the building.

288
00:21:16,380 --> 00:21:19,360
This building is owned by the Convention of Tourism Board.

289
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,760
So anything as far as more tornium to extend to allow something to be done with the building,

290
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:37,580
That would be something that would be discussed with this board at their meetings, all that we can vote on today is whether we're going to assist them in the demolition.

291
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,720
So basically we would be helping the funding.

292
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,900
I just want to share everybody's clear with that.

293
00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:46,000
But, Manny, what have you guys to say?

294
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:48,020
Oh yeah, Manny Miner, Manny Runkel for the record.

295
00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:54,860
One of the slides shall first see what the condition of building is right now,

296
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:15,080
okay?

297
00:22:15,380 --> 00:22:15,980
Yeah, I'll go.

298
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,740
Do you want to leave?

299
00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:39,780
Okay, so Becky, when we'll further record executive director for Line of Care, we'll

300
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:40,860
can't even mention it towards the authority.

301
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:49,480
This slide shows just pictures that I took back in June for the listing that we have for the property.

302
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,680
So this is the outside of the building.

303
00:22:53,340 --> 00:22:56,220
This is the side on broad street.

304
00:22:58,010 --> 00:23:00,390
This is the front armament street.

305
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,160
This is the empty lock next to it. Just for reference. We own both of those locks.

306
00:23:09,340 --> 00:23:13,560
This is the backside by the alley on Broad Street.

307
00:23:17,460 --> 00:23:19,580
And then this is in the alley of the back of the building.

308
00:23:20,460 --> 00:23:24,740
I believe this is a lot of the add-ons that were made in the 80s and 90s.

309
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,260
And then the picture on the bottom left is from the alley towards the side of the building.

310
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,400
On the opposite side of the broad street where the empty lot is.

311
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,460
And then the picture on the right is the side of the building by the empty lot.

312
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,060
This is the side on the broad street where the foundation is writing.

313
00:23:52,380 --> 00:23:56,940
And you can see it on the inside to where it is writing on the inside on that side.

314
00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:00,700
This is more side shots.

315
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:09,460
And then this is the upstairs, like the entrance into the apartment upstairs.

316
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:21,700
Inside downstairs, this is to the, the top left picture is when you walk in the doors,

317
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,780
and then the picture on the bottom right is to the left of the doors when you enter.

318
00:24:27,870 --> 00:24:31,610
To the left of the front doors when you enter. So this is the main part of the building.

319
00:24:42,340 --> 00:24:47,240
And then this is just the other shots of that same part of the building on the left.

320
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,160
And then the right is the where the front doors are from the back of the building.

321
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,440
This is where all the freezers are.

322
00:24:56,820 --> 00:24:59,660
We did have somebody break in and break all the glass on all the freezers.

323
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,180
So that was a big mess to clean up as well.

324
00:25:06,550 --> 00:25:10,510
These are like that behind the main part of the building and add-ons.

325
00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:19,270
The picture on the bottom right where you can see the light, the light part of the picture, that's actually suddenly coming in from the roof.

326
00:25:20,050 --> 00:25:21,730
So there's holes in the roof.

327
00:25:25,070 --> 00:25:27,590
This is just more towards the back of the add-ons.

328
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:38,800
As you can see, it's been vandalized on the inside as well. And then that's one of the, another one of the holes in the roof in the back.

329
00:25:40,650 --> 00:25:44,230
So this is the side where the kitchen was back

330
00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:54,600
behind the kitchen counter where the freezer is and this is back behind the kitchen

331
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,560
another add-on behind the kitchen

332
00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:02,960
the old freezer and

333
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:08,070
this is the apartment upstairs

334
00:26:27,590 --> 00:26:31,150
Yeah, we want to start off with that see what the condition was

335
00:26:31,150 --> 00:26:34,570
So back in the 21 when we bought the building

336
00:26:34,570 --> 00:26:35,330
Yes.

337
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:44,870
At the time, our desired record presented to us to look at it and see we can do something

338
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:48,550
with it for the teacher and she would get grants to renegade this thing.

339
00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:50,650
And I'll just want to have that story too.

340
00:26:50,790 --> 00:26:52,510
We can get to the point right now.

341
00:26:53,870 --> 00:26:56,830
During that time, it took a couple years to get grants.

342
00:26:57,130 --> 00:26:58,090
We got the grants.

343
00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:07,530
Something happened between where the hired somebody to the engineering part of it.

344
00:27:07,530 --> 00:27:15,470
and come to find out that that time would be our former employee that the grand expire

345
00:27:15,470 --> 00:27:19,290
that you're prior to that. So one of our tourism board meetings

346
00:27:21,780 --> 00:27:23,120
we were told that it was

347
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:27,960
babbling but it wasn't. So when we had a call to engineer and I was going to tell them like

348
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,420
hey, it's about a year ago and we couldn't get that round back. So we had to get that

349
00:27:31,420 --> 00:27:34,360
what's like a million dollars back to.

350
00:27:34,580 --> 00:27:37,260
Let's see, let's be on that part.

351
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:41,920
At the time, we were looking for a newsletter director,

352
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,820
so we did a hiring process for that.

353
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:47,040
We did a little break on whatever we're going to do with the building.

354
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,370
After that, we decided, okay, we're not going to,

355
00:27:53,390 --> 00:27:54,050
we lost the grants.

356
00:27:54,390 --> 00:27:55,570
There's no way we're going to get that thing back.

357
00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:58,450
So we need to figure out what we're going to do with the building now.

358
00:27:58,450 --> 00:28:04,450
So we've been presented to the board to sell the building in hopes of maybe somebody with

359
00:28:05,590 --> 00:28:09,950
We keep our pockets in most people. It is to hopefully

360
00:28:10,710 --> 00:28:16,540
Building build the hotel because we are in the tourism board meeting so we can have a hotel there downtown later

361
00:28:17,270 --> 00:28:26,030
We get some room tax at the end of it or something. It's just we're gonna new events center. That's kind of like how I presented it. So we agreed as a board to put it on

362
00:28:27,410 --> 00:28:32,310
We went through a company that specializes with commercial properties, so we didn't want

363
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:39,570
to put a wholesale sign line for them because anybody could just buy it like that one guy who decided to cut all the holes in all the floors and everything.

364
00:28:40,110 --> 00:28:46,430
So we went through a company that deals with people who want to invest into the commercial property of, you know, deeper pockets.

365
00:28:47,530 --> 00:29:05,210
We do have the paperwork on because we did have the P2V engineer to do an estimate on it at one time, though, back in 2022, and to renovate the building itself to the original building of around $5 million.

366
00:29:05,210 --> 00:29:07,030
I'll go ahead and pick the five million.

367
00:29:09,170 --> 00:29:10,190
Let's pick up just a little man.

368
00:29:10,210 --> 00:29:11,390
Let's go ahead and see if we can hear you.

369
00:29:11,450 --> 00:29:12,450
Or just move that cycle.

370
00:29:12,970 --> 00:29:13,070
Yeah.

371
00:29:14,050 --> 00:29:14,890
So yeah, it's kind of possible.

372
00:29:15,210 --> 00:29:16,970
I mean, the horse renovated.

373
00:29:17,350 --> 00:29:18,230
We listed it back.

374
00:29:18,770 --> 00:29:21,950
We put on the agenda to approve to put it on.

375
00:29:21,950 --> 00:29:22,530
Listen, may.

376
00:29:23,910 --> 00:29:25,570
And we haven't had any people.

377
00:29:25,890 --> 00:29:26,650
He's on it all.

378
00:29:27,030 --> 00:29:27,470
Any intent.

379
00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:28,030
I've interest.

380
00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:30,150
So the counting.

381
00:29:30,550 --> 00:29:32,210
A couple of people showed up in the answers.

382
00:29:32,530 --> 00:29:33,970
What we're thoughts are maybe beautifying.

383
00:29:34,690 --> 00:29:39,730
maybe downtown or doing something with it. Right now as you can see it, we think it's a liability.

384
00:29:41,430 --> 00:29:45,970
The holes are, you could balance on some of the floors because all the moisture that's gone through it.

385
00:29:46,610 --> 00:29:53,190
And the parking lot up there is the parking lot's kind of caving in the parking lot's just clean down there.

386
00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:56,990
So it's more of a liability for us. We just kind of want to get rid of it.

387
00:29:58,330 --> 00:29:59,770
But we thought it was a good idea.

388
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,760
We brought it to us to maybe consider viewfinder, doing something with the property, and possibility of demolition, stuff like that.

389
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:19,520
And at the time when we did get the grants, we did have an idea of using it, like maybe a mini convention center at the moment.

390
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:27,880
And at the top is having offices. We lost the funding for it, so we just had to be realistic with ourselves what to do with an empty building that's kind of liability.

391
00:30:28,980 --> 00:30:32,520
So it's not like we tried before we got to this point in the first place.

392
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,400
So yeah, that's where it's all the game with that E of maybe trying to be if I downtown

393
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:45,200
or do something, that was a great idea, just because we have to do something with it.

394
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:50,620
It is easy to see if it's just falling apart, but again, it's going to cost us more to, like

395
00:30:50,620 --> 00:30:55,120
say if we did spend 5 million and say some people rented the offices upstairs, how much

396
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,860
we're going to charge the front to make our money back.

397
00:30:56,860 --> 00:31:01,880
So it's just kind of, kind of just a dream I guess, forever.

398
00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:06,940
But at the same time, they're, they are building a lot towards

399
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:11,660
Broad Street and World Branch on this side town, whatever.

400
00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:15,000
So I don't want the front part of town to, to dining away.

401
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,720
So I thought it was kind of a good idea to present it for the county,

402
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,260
to not just have a place for when people from out of town

403
00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:24,200
can stop by and check it out.

404
00:31:25,580 --> 00:31:27,860
It just be kind of like more like a visitor center maybe.

405
00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:32,860
Obviously, there's a center just a place where they stop, they want to let their dog out or

406
00:31:33,580 --> 00:31:34,300
charge their car.

407
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,140
Just a different idea.

408
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:35,780
Just a different idea.

409
00:31:35,780 --> 00:31:39,160
Just to give people a stop from at a town.

410
00:31:39,740 --> 00:31:42,580
And I'll just tell the county to get some money.

411
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:42,900
You know what I mean?

412
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,640
If you stop to charge their car, hang out.

413
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:46,880
They can go eat at the restaurant.

414
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,200
They can go guess of.

415
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,520
And to some ideas, you know, that we're just kind of wandering around.

416
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,400
Just kind of advertised stuff down at that place.

417
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:01,660
that we did go that way, to have a just have a surprise or anything like this, but I'm

418
00:32:01,660 --> 00:32:08,300
almost in Kingston, kind of just show what we have, I know that the science coming into

419
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:14,080
a precise command on the level of a little is called a little science level of different services

420
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,160
in town, just have something up there like that, but over there, so we show all the businesses, stuff

421
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:24,640
like that. So yeah, it's just the, it didn't just happen overnight, like from one week to the next,

422
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,740
It's like we didn't have anybody coming in asking to buy the place.

423
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,140
So, one of the eight percent of them maybe just kind of partnering up with the county to do something with it.

424
00:32:34,140 --> 00:32:34,840
That was a good idea.

425
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,580
At this point, it's all just ideas and we're taking suggestions.

426
00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:41,960
We're not unlisting the property for celiat.

427
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,960
As I wrote in the suggestions ideas, that's what the county brought us was an idea.

428
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:49,900
We came here to see if the county was interested in moving forward with it.

429
00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:51,320
That's just where we're at.

430
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:57,040
And to make clear that we still want the building the county doesn't have a new system for, you know, some kind of,

431
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,280
do we part of something that the system said we do something with it, because again,

432
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,400
that's been a lot of somebody to break in again, like last time some broke up broken up stairs,

433
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,240
and that they fall through the building and something happens.

434
00:33:07,620 --> 00:33:08,960
Then choose liable for it.

435
00:33:09,820 --> 00:33:10,160
Okay.

436
00:33:10,380 --> 00:33:11,140
Well, thank you, guys.

437
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,700
Just to finish having a question.

438
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:15,120
I mean, I do have one question.

439
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:21,240
So you guys, you had a probable cost back in 2022 that was 5.1 million, correct?

440
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,000
So that cost would go up.

441
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:24,660
I'm sure.

442
00:33:24,980 --> 00:33:26,080
I'm sure.

443
00:33:27,540 --> 00:33:28,640
So are we.

444
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,940
So where we lost the grant?

445
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,900
Do we act?

446
00:33:33,140 --> 00:33:39,200
Do you guys have actively seeking grants to get we granted the money?

447
00:33:39,460 --> 00:33:45,420
Maybe not to fix it, but maybe grants to where we don't have an open lot with the charge station.

448
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,420
Down on one of our main streets in town,

449
00:33:48,420 --> 00:33:53,320
to where there are grants available, there's someone looking into that if it's demolished

450
00:33:53,320 --> 00:34:01,340
that there's possibility of a rebuild financial support to do a historic looking building

451
00:34:01,340 --> 00:34:06,940
or something similar to it, to gain the office, the business center or something like that,

452
00:34:06,940 --> 00:34:08,980
something that don't compete against it.

453
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,100
I mean, that's the main corner in town to have a vacant lot.

454
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:24,180
I'm asking our, are you guys actively going forward with the plan versus such as ideas to see what's available out there because there are grants.

455
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,240
I think at this point my board was decided we just, we don't want to.

456
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:30,220
When we're building we would like to move on from that.

457
00:34:30,380 --> 00:34:31,660
That's not where we're headed anymore.

458
00:34:32,380 --> 00:34:36,220
So we want somebody who will buy it and potentially do something with it.

459
00:34:36,220 --> 00:34:38,420
That is part of where we listed it with the company we did.

460
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:47,560
But, I mean, it could still be income to the tourism board if a structure was put up versus a parking lot.

461
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,740
It seems like a lot more money just to get it up to.

462
00:34:50,740 --> 00:34:52,080
Not keep the building.

463
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,120
If it's in that bad shape, which is a picture.

464
00:34:54,240 --> 00:34:59,660
Honestly, we could work with the government just to say we do something there.

465
00:35:06,910 --> 00:35:23,930
So, in 2021, the convention in tourism, IZIP building, you have different leadership, the whole community has changed so much in five years, and I'm sure what was originally planned for that building, and it's one thing when you look at those pictures.

466
00:35:23,930 --> 00:35:29,510
and thank you guys for giving this separately towards through that building because I don't

467
00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:36,710
think those pictures really do the condition justice. It's heartbreaking to see that building in

468
00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:43,670
it shape because we're all looking at it emotionally from a lens of 40 years ago and now that

469
00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:49,010
that building's been vacant for 25 years, that building's been failed. It's everybody that's

470
00:35:49,010 --> 00:35:54,050
that building is out of part and it's it's it's heartbreaking but you know you get

471
00:35:54,050 --> 00:35:59,310
into 2022 and now this is your building and now you get an engineer to come

472
00:35:59,310 --> 00:36:04,230
give you a very very good assessment of that building to the point where I don't

473
00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:08,550
think you guys planned on five million dollar refab when you guys bought that

474
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:13,250
building I think we're aware of that at the time maybe there would be a possibility

475
00:36:13,250 --> 00:36:16,490
but that's they were working on the grants I know they were working on multiple

476
00:36:16,490 --> 00:36:25,870
grants. We had the first grant, which was the one that was lost, and then there was the

477
00:36:25,870 --> 00:36:31,210
Brownfield grant, which was contingent on the other grant doing what it was supposed to

478
00:36:31,210 --> 00:36:36,510
do. And then there was a third grant lined up at that time if the Brownfield grant went through.

479
00:36:37,790 --> 00:36:43,090
So, but because we lost the first grant, we lost everything. So, we lost almost $4 million

480
00:36:43,090 --> 00:36:45,690
by losing that grant?

481
00:36:47,170 --> 00:37:04,290
Yeah, so back in 22, you're given assessment done of that building and our town, our community has changed drastically since they're even the future of our community where we're going to be operating with our master plan and everything and so things have changed since then.

482
00:37:04,290 --> 00:37:12,810
So, as far as convention and tourism strategy, you're wanting to sell that building now and that building is listed for sales.

483
00:37:12,970 --> 00:37:20,550
So, anybody can come check out that building and look about listing and then that's a preferred option.

484
00:37:21,490 --> 00:37:25,270
Is to move around not have the liability of the building.

485
00:37:25,790 --> 00:37:29,290
And the listing does not have an amount. It is making offer.

486
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:30,930
Okay.

487
00:37:31,450 --> 00:37:32,430
And with a plan.

488
00:37:33,590 --> 00:37:33,630
Yes.

489
00:37:33,630 --> 00:37:47,730
But it's been really nice because there's been a lot of positive, you know, support for keeping that building and, you know, wanting to take some action.

490
00:37:49,430 --> 00:37:58,630
So, because I think we all really want the same thing. We want some kind of action, whether that is restoration or removal of the building.

491
00:37:58,630 --> 00:38:10,430
We need something and at least this conversation is having this item on the agenda is put those conversations into action because I just I don't think anybody wants it

492
00:38:10,430 --> 00:38:20,030
What's happening right now? We don't want to continue going down that way. So it's it's been nice reading the support for those for that building wanting to to keep it and

493
00:38:20,570 --> 00:38:26,970
Like I said that that building is on the market. So I mean, there's there's a lot of potential for for someone if they

494
00:38:26,970 --> 00:38:31,090
if they want to take on a project to that magnitude so basically what it boils down

495
00:38:31,090 --> 00:38:34,850
to is the only thing we can vote on today is whether or not we're going to fund demolition

496
00:38:34,850 --> 00:38:40,290
or we can pay for it right in convention and tourism has to make the decision on what

497
00:38:40,290 --> 00:38:45,870
they're going to do from there so anything that said really doesn't accomplish anything here

498
00:38:45,870 --> 00:38:49,930
the only thing the commissioners can vote on is whether or not we're going to vote to fund the

499
00:38:49,930 --> 00:38:56,750
demolition period anything else goes to convention and tourism anybody else have anything

500
00:38:56,970 --> 00:39:01,510
or commission, okay, I'm going to hold that up to public in question from the public.

501
00:39:01,810 --> 00:39:02,830
So anybody from the public?

502
00:39:03,490 --> 00:39:04,550
Yeah, go ahead and come to the press.

503
00:39:07,940 --> 00:39:10,540
You guys might want to say a quote, so I'm sure some of these questions might be different.

504
00:39:10,540 --> 00:39:11,520
Well, I'm pretty good.

505
00:39:11,620 --> 00:39:13,680
We met in that tour on Monday with Mani.

506
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:14,780
Thank you by the way, man.

507
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:19,680
Amy Nelson, I'm not going to read the letters that I sent all of you guys.

508
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,240
I'll just give them to tourism.

509
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:28,100
I had did look up NRS and I'm trying to wrap my head around the public entity of the tourism board.

510
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:37,100
And the connections to the county because I know if you want to be on the boards. You put your letter in to the county manager. So it's I think I told Mani it's like a hybrid

511
00:39:38,380 --> 00:39:43,380
Merge thing going on or something, but that would be something that would be helpful to have clarity on is

512
00:39:43,380 --> 00:39:50,520
You know, like I'm on the blue act board and I know you were advisory to you guys. So how is the connection because there is a connection.

513
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,560
this I'm not going to get that, see if we can get that answered legally.

514
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:54,300
Okay, perfect.

515
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,260
Can you help me with that?

516
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,220
Basically, the convention in tourism is its own government.

517
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:08,960
Okay, so it would be like, I guess that's the way to look at it would be like a town within a county, city within a county.

518
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:19,140
It's a separate entity, even though it shares a lot of commonality with the general thing.

519
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:23,300
So convention and tourism has its own cat space.

520
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,160
It gets the room taxes from the hotels.

521
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:36,660
You're also, I believe, gets a fair amount of money as well from the county, but

522
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:40,560
not, but its main thing is the room taxes.

523
00:40:41,740 --> 00:40:45,980
So because it's its own entity, it gets to make its own decisions.

524
00:40:45,980 --> 00:40:51,020
Is there any combinglling of funding or salary retirement?

525
00:40:51,260 --> 00:40:58,160
This is an example of where there can be combinglling of funding, because obviously asking for the demolition might.

526
00:40:58,240 --> 00:40:59,840
No, I understand that, but that's separate.

527
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:06,240
Is there any salary or if I wanted to put in to be on the board, I put my letter into birth?

528
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:07,840
Do we pay perse?

529
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:12,580
When I say we, I'm talking about the county, is there any relationship there?

530
00:41:12,660 --> 00:41:13,780
Or are they completely happy?

531
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,000
I'm just trying to figure that out.

532
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:18,460
Hi, Becky.

533
00:41:19,220 --> 00:41:19,440
Thank you, Lynn.

534
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:20,280
For the record.

535
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:22,560
Convention tourism.

536
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,820
We only collect room tax that is only form of income unless we have the

537
00:41:25,820 --> 00:41:26,560
Chuckerturimate.

538
00:41:27,220 --> 00:41:29,320
If we sell extra Chuckermulture, whatever.

539
00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:31,120
So we have our own income.

540
00:41:32,380 --> 00:41:35,360
All of our, all of my salary perrs everything is all paid by

541
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:36,200
Convention tourism.

542
00:41:37,060 --> 00:41:39,000
The county just helps pay our bills.

543
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,400
So they're like our bank basically.

544
00:41:40,660 --> 00:41:41,520
Got it.

545
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,020
That's only their work connection.

546
00:41:43,020 --> 00:41:49,040
Yeah. Okay. Thank you. And here's some words. Okay. So thank you. So they are still a public entity.

547
00:41:49,660 --> 00:41:57,980
They were funded through NRS. So when we own, that means we own. And because we own as a public.

548
00:41:58,620 --> 00:42:05,860
As a member of the public, we want a voice, obviously. I know how the ground, I like where you were going might with the grants.

549
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:12,680
Because I know there are grants out there. Substantial grants. And you were talking D about there was one with the conditional too.

550
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:18,140
they're behind it, and that was one attempt. So we can do it again. It was owned by, you

551
00:42:18,140 --> 00:42:23,780
know, that all this disclose I made it off her on it in 2021, but it was about two months

552
00:42:23,780 --> 00:42:28,820
after tourism already made it off her on it. It's been, it's been posted for sale, but it

553
00:42:28,820 --> 00:42:33,920
wasn't on the MLS. If you weren't to look it up, it didn't pop up. It's on looknet, I believe,

554
00:42:34,100 --> 00:42:38,080
so it's not something that will just pop up if you're looking for it. So there's no way

555
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,940
public would have known and let's say heard about it. It's been posted for a little

556
00:42:42,940 --> 00:42:51,180
over a month on the market. So we went in sort of with Manny and another Manny because we

557
00:42:51,180 --> 00:42:57,780
called the wrong Manny. He showed up to it was great. And where they see holes which are concerning,

558
00:42:57,900 --> 00:43:06,480
holes in the roof that probably need emergency repair. We saw spectacular. We saw history. We saw

559
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:12,460
education and as you guys all know my passion with this because we had to do the same thing

560
00:43:12,460 --> 00:43:19,820
with the old courthouse in schoolhouse when we tear down buildings that have beauty and

561
00:43:19,820 --> 00:43:27,800
put up you know the sterile hotel we lose some of our culture and our character and our joy

562
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:34,340
and our love and I know that's emotional but we are emotional we are emotional animals so we went

563
00:43:34,340 --> 00:43:35,880
And we saw the old doors.

564
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,560
We saw the beams that are going to probably

565
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,060
protect that building way past most buildings in this town.

566
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:46,500
When we had the inspection done on the old courthouse,

567
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,380
they came and looked at our old house that

568
00:43:49,020 --> 00:43:49,540
are built.

569
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,560
Our house is built about the same time.

570
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,260
And they said, these structures are built so much differently.

571
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:55,980
They're so strong.

572
00:43:56,580 --> 00:43:57,720
They have double brick.

573
00:43:57,940 --> 00:43:58,860
They have beams.

574
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,180
They have metal and still.

575
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,140
They were just built strong back then.

576
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:03,800
So I don't want to be labor,

577
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,660
because I know it's not you guys, but you are a part of this community, and there is going

578
00:44:07,660 --> 00:44:16,020
to be potentially at some asks along the way, but to me $3 billion to get it habitable,

579
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,760
you know, I don't know if you've ever been to Oklahoma and seen what they've done with

580
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:23,100
Alan Hall and some of those beautiful old brick buildings that they've made stunning.

581
00:44:24,380 --> 00:44:31,140
So to me, $3 million in a county that's pouring hundreds of millions into projects, there may

582
00:44:31,140 --> 00:44:35,600
We can ask, maybe we can get a couple million in grants, and we can get a couple million,

583
00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:38,180
the challenge is who's we?

584
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,260
So my goal is I'm going to go back to tourism because I didn't know how this relationship

585
00:44:44,260 --> 00:44:44,740
worked.

586
00:44:45,020 --> 00:44:50,820
I'm sorry for sending you a blast and you guys with those letters, but we want to work to

587
00:44:50,820 --> 00:44:54,840
save it and preserve it, and we'll do it passionately, and you guys know me, I don't want

588
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,080
to have to end up tying myself to the building if the demo gene comes in.

589
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:58,840
But I will.

590
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Well, thank you for just hearing me out because you are part of this public and you are part somehow in this relationship.

591
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:10,720
But we'll go back to tourism and talk to them about our passions in our place. Thank you.

592
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:11,480
Thank you.

593
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:11,580
Thank you.

594
00:45:11,580 --> 00:45:13,420
Is there any more public comment questions?

595
00:45:19,700 --> 00:45:20,660
Good morning, commissioner.

596
00:45:21,220 --> 00:45:21,580
Good morning.

597
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:22,320
Good morning.

598
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:28,100
I would like to go on the record and plead with you not to find a demolition.

599
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,720
I have been in contact with the Architect Beat debate all week.

600
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:37,040
The original estimate was three to five million,

601
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,760
so there can be renovations done considerably,

602
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,160
almost half.

603
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:46,520
He did express that there are many, many grants that are available.

604
00:45:46,660 --> 00:45:48,840
These were certainly not the only ones.

605
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,420
And I would like right into the record of the names I know

606
00:45:53,420 --> 00:45:57,340
of state recognized historians and preservationists that I know

607
00:45:57,340 --> 00:46:03,880
sent you correspondence in regard to this asking you not to fund the demolition

608
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,840
and I thought the building looked amazing

609
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:14,320
point being it's in the same condition that was when they bought it and

610
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,660
Let me digress for a moment. I did call. I did see it on loop that on Thursday

611
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,560
I called the real estate agent

612
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:29,700
He did tell me that they purchased the building for 200. There was no retail price listed

613
00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:36,580
But it would take considerably more than that for them to sell it and his comment was it would take

614
00:46:36,580 --> 00:46:41,080
350 to 450 of an offer to acquire the building.

615
00:46:41,860 --> 00:46:47,240
And I find that completely opposite of what I'm hearing today.

616
00:46:47,980 --> 00:46:48,820
And that was Thursday.

617
00:46:52,140 --> 00:46:59,200
The agent told me that the tourism board was wanting more than the initial acquisition

618
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:06,720
price of $200,000. And it would take probably $350 to $450 in the form of an offer to acquire

619
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:12,200
the building. That was just Thursday. A week from today. A week passed.

620
00:47:12,620 --> 00:47:14,980
So, was that pretty much Bush?

621
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:23,340
It dissuaded me to Bush to work more of the demolition side of it. Due to that, what the

622
00:47:23,340 --> 00:47:29,520
So I can't speak for that agent. That's just what he told me and I have it in a text.

623
00:47:29,540 --> 00:47:33,260
I just to make sure I'm clear. So basically what you're saying is that they pay 200,000 dollars.

624
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,380
And they're looking to profit on it, even though they want to get rid of this thing.

625
00:47:36,700 --> 00:47:37,540
Is that what your testimony?

626
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,720
That is what the agent told me in a written text.

627
00:47:41,340 --> 00:47:42,720
Did you want to repeat that?

628
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:43,020
Yeah.

629
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,100
Becky, let's go for the record.

630
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,060
That is not what we told the agent.

631
00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:47,980
I'm just thinking that might be like a sales tactic.

632
00:47:48,780 --> 00:47:53,840
We pulled in. We were more than likely willing to take less amount. We paid for it just because we

633
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,580
do want to see something done with it. So that is not what I don't think.

634
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:07,060
And so I have that in writing. So it certainly isn't attracting. I saw it for sale. So I

635
00:48:07,060 --> 00:48:11,160
would, that's where my interest was to figure out how we saved this.

636
00:48:14,020 --> 00:48:20,200
The people who have

637
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,940
Mayor Building Architect originally,

638
00:48:23,060 --> 00:48:26,220
Joy Orlick President of the Historic Renew Preservation Society,

639
00:48:26,940 --> 00:48:29,620
Catherine Wines Architect, Amy Rainer, President,

640
00:48:29,820 --> 00:48:33,760
and Programming Chair for Nevada Preservation Foundation,

641
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,720
and Alicia Barber, was stories in place.

642
00:48:38,740 --> 00:48:41,300
They all have sent correspondence to you,

643
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,320
and so please take their comments to heart

644
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,260
in deciding whether you fund this.

645
00:48:47,260 --> 00:48:48,720
Thank you.

646
00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:51,080
Is there more public comment?

647
00:49:02,550 --> 00:49:03,550
I'll talk about emotion.

648
00:49:05,110 --> 00:49:05,590
Good morning.

649
00:49:06,630 --> 00:49:09,830
Commissioner, thank you for the opportunity to speak.

650
00:49:11,750 --> 00:49:15,670
I'm here today not only as a representative of the Land County Historical Society,

651
00:49:16,630 --> 00:49:21,550
but also someone who has lived nearly 70 years in Val Mountain.

652
00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:26,170
My family has called this community home since 1876.

653
00:49:27,170 --> 00:49:46,270
Reserving our history has been a lifelong commitment, I've served on historical society for 45 years, helped write 8 grants to restore the cook house to into the museum and the cook house looked awful as well.

654
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:53,640
And personally, open the museum in 2012 where I have volunteers teared,

655
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:59,960
excuse me, little nervous, little emotional, as the director ever sent.

656
00:50:00,940 --> 00:50:08,140
My dedication to beautifying and strengthening battle mountain run steep. I've served on every beautification

657
00:50:08,140 --> 00:50:16,880
committee our town has had and they've had several. I've worked for years to save the courthouse

658
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:23,080
committee. I worked for years on the save the courthouse committee and volunteer countless hours.

659
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:30,200
never once receiving payment because protecting our heritage matters to me.

660
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:37,460
I only share this so you understand the depth of my passion and the perspective I bring.

661
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:47,340
I've faced many obstacles over the decades that I don't give up easily when it comes to safeguarding battle mountains history.

662
00:50:51,630 --> 00:50:53,610
The settler's worked hard,

663
00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:56,370
sacrificed deeply and laid the foundation

664
00:50:56,370 --> 00:50:58,410
for the community we live in today.

665
00:50:59,590 --> 00:51:02,470
The decision before you cares economic, culture,

666
00:51:02,830 --> 00:51:07,190
and historical consequences, far beyond a single structure.

667
00:51:08,930 --> 00:51:10,430
Demolitioning this building,

668
00:51:10,710 --> 00:51:12,870
where he raised a piece of battle mountains identity,

669
00:51:13,850 --> 00:51:18,050
and he lamentate and asset with real, measurable value.

670
00:51:19,530 --> 00:51:27,850
Once it has gone, every opportunity it represents economic, educational, and cultural, this

671
00:51:27,850 --> 00:51:29,410
pairs with it.

672
00:51:30,010 --> 00:51:33,370
I understand the desire to beautify this property.

673
00:51:34,010 --> 00:51:39,750
We all want that on that until it looks best, but beauty and history are not opposites.

674
00:51:40,870 --> 00:51:46,650
In fact, preserved historic buildings are often the most beautiful features a community

675
00:51:46,650 --> 00:51:55,810
has the create character, often, authenticity, and a sense of place that new construction simply

676
00:51:55,810 --> 00:51:56,810
cannot replicate.

677
00:51:58,650 --> 00:52:06,270
Unification should not require erasing very heritage, or very heritage that makes this

678
00:52:06,270 --> 00:52:07,150
town unique.

679
00:52:08,090 --> 00:52:14,530
True beautification enhances what is meaningful, not replaces it.

680
00:52:14,530 --> 00:52:21,370
This building is one of the last physical threads connecting us to the people who built this place.

681
00:52:21,850 --> 00:52:33,030
It was erupted in 1876 by J.W. McWingens using locally made brick produced in Battle Mountain,

682
00:52:33,210 --> 00:52:38,530
because the earlier stick built buildings and businesses kept burning.

683
00:52:41,330 --> 00:52:45,350
The structure was built to endure, as Amy was talking.

684
00:52:46,070 --> 00:52:48,370
It was built to protect the town's future.

685
00:52:49,250 --> 00:52:55,310
And in 1880, McMillian sold it to AD Lamar, whose family became central to Battle

686
00:52:55,310 --> 00:52:58,170
Mountains, early commercial, and civic life.

687
00:52:58,690 --> 00:53:00,770
This building is not just old.

688
00:53:01,350 --> 00:53:07,030
It is purposeful, resilient, and foundational to our community's story.

689
00:53:07,730 --> 00:53:11,210
When we lose a building like this, we lose Battle Mountain's character.

690
00:53:12,430 --> 00:53:13,290
We lose story.

691
00:53:13,790 --> 00:53:15,350
This building is that story.

692
00:53:16,030 --> 00:53:21,150
It is a rare tangible reminder of the resilience that defines the people who built

693
00:53:21,150 --> 00:53:22,050
Battle Mountain.

694
00:53:23,070 --> 00:53:29,150
And it has the power to attract visitors who want to understand the mining, ranching,

695
00:53:29,410 --> 00:53:33,770
the railroad, and the settlement history that shaped this region.

696
00:53:33,770 --> 00:53:35,290
Thank you.

697
00:53:35,350 --> 00:53:35,770
Thank you.

698
00:53:36,870 --> 00:53:40,550
Demolition erases all of that, permanently.

699
00:53:44,420 --> 00:53:46,480
Historic buildings are economic engines.

700
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,600
They can be economic engines.

701
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:57,440
Communities across Nevada and the west have shown that Preservation attracts tourism.

702
00:53:58,540 --> 00:54:01,720
Stimulates local business and increases foot traffic.

703
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:09,100
Heritage Tourism is one of the fastest, fastest growing sectors in rural Nevada.

704
00:54:10,540 --> 00:54:15,720
Visitors want authenticity. Real places that tell real stories.

705
00:54:16,620 --> 00:54:19,660
This building is one of the few remaining pieces of ours.

706
00:54:20,620 --> 00:54:25,640
It can bring people into town who spend money at local restaurants, shops,

707
00:54:26,780 --> 00:54:30,720
Logging, once it's gone, that potential is gone forever.

708
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:41,640
I'm asking to pause this process and allow us time to pursue the full value this building can offer.

709
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,860
Allow us time to speak with convention and tourism.

710
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,500
Let us bring in partners, grants and community support.

711
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:59,260
Preservation of when stores the funding, streams that simply do not exist on a building, that's destroyed.

712
00:55:00,020 --> 00:55:06,900
Choosing to save it sends a message that Battle Mountain values its heritage.

713
00:55:07,820 --> 00:55:14,880
Please do not fund the demolition of the historic building. A great deal of money has already been invested

714
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:21,500
in new buildings throughout Battle Mountain, and those improvements matter to our future.

715
00:55:22,140 --> 00:55:28,360
But I would like to encourage the commission to consider directing funds toward preserving the

716
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:36,500
care building and revitalizing the downtown corridor. I believe our downtown could flourish

717
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:43,880
as an active tourist destination with thoughtful investment with many sources it can become

718
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:53,780
a vibrant hub for heritage tourism. Local business and community pride. Preservation isn't

719
00:55:53,780 --> 00:55:55,360
just saving one building.

720
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,080
It's about strengthening the heart of that mountain.

721
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,160
Investing in the limer building and the surrounding corridor

722
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:09,020
would create a cohesive, attractive, historically rich downtown

723
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,880
that draws visitors, supports local businesses,

724
00:56:13,460 --> 00:56:16,020
and showcases the authentic character

725
00:56:16,020 --> 00:56:20,720
that sets our community apart from any others.

726
00:56:21,820 --> 00:56:23,540
Thank you for your consideration.

727
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,000
Thank you.

728
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:27,880
Is

729
00:56:31,650 --> 00:56:35,650
there any other public comment on this item?

730
00:56:35,990 --> 00:56:39,590
I wouldn't like to say something, because we did receive a number of letters.

731
00:56:39,730 --> 00:56:42,030
I think the commission, you guys, all received them as well.

732
00:56:42,530 --> 00:56:52,510
But something that's probably critically important for the community and everybody that's looking at this to know is that if this is privately purchased as it's being offered right now,

733
00:56:53,010 --> 00:56:55,530
There is no say in what they do with that.

734
00:56:56,350 --> 00:57:00,690
If somebody privately purchases this, they can go down there and tear that down, put a hotel up, whatever they would like.

735
00:57:01,370 --> 00:57:07,710
So I just wanted to point that out because the compensation moving forward with convention and tourism,

736
00:57:08,690 --> 00:57:13,290
those that you see at least what the potential is that the county would not have anything to do with.

737
00:57:13,930 --> 00:57:21,590
You can also, though, if you do purchase it, you can do like we did with St. Augustines in Form of 501-C3 and set up a board and protected.

738
00:57:21,590 --> 00:57:29,590
And that way you would qualify for grants, if you don't set up a 501c3, you won't qualify for all these grants that you're talking about.

739
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:35,720
Yes.

740
00:57:39,220 --> 00:57:39,840
No, for the record.

741
00:57:40,380 --> 00:57:47,080
Just again, I know there's a lot of emotions with this and again, there's just an option of that was brought to us to do something different or whatever.

742
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,760
Yeah, it is emotional for everybody because that even my sister is at the grocery store.

743
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,460
So, when you walk in the story, it does have these, you know,

744
00:57:58,340 --> 00:58:04,980
nostalgic memories about what I have now, but again, we're just looking to go to different paths and try to get it.

745
00:58:05,500 --> 00:58:08,360
Because the tourism board we're trying to get to people to come visit, I don't know, Austin.

746
00:58:11,710 --> 00:58:12,390
That's all I have.

747
00:58:12,890 --> 00:58:14,310
Thank you.

748
00:58:14,410 --> 00:58:15,030
Any more questions?

749
00:58:15,130 --> 00:58:15,330
Yes.

750
00:58:17,350 --> 00:58:22,110
Again, if we, you know, whatever, everybody decides to do whatever that will come is.

751
00:58:22,510 --> 00:58:28,890
If we just have one building, and we say, if they get grants and say the county stands,

752
00:58:28,890 --> 00:58:36,790
you know, two million dollars, you know, just an example. If they help out, we still have, you know, a bunch of empty lots of down town.

753
00:58:38,860 --> 00:58:41,820
I think that's how many counters a lot of buildings that are down town.

754
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,480
They're just in, you know, Main Street.

755
00:58:44,540 --> 00:58:52,920
So, we have the trading posts, the old Ed Stire, or the feet place, the two gas stations.

756
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,900
That the gun place just closed down, or whatever, landed building supply.

757
00:58:56,900 --> 00:59:03,340
So I just thought like if we spend you know a lot of money on if the county decides to open a couple million dollars

758
00:59:03,340 --> 00:59:06,980
It's, you know, dressed at downtown still kind of, you know

759
00:59:06,980 --> 00:59:13,120
It's still a ban in common also, so I guess my point is to try to get something to kind of just people to stop

760
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,880
Check out the town and hopefully a lot more time and I don't know, I'll send keys to them

761
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:18,260
Thank you.

762
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:19,120
Thank you.

763
00:59:19,300 --> 00:59:24,880
A question for you and Becky, so we did get a lot of course on and so a lot of people

764
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:31,840
concerned about this building and want to have a little bit of time to maybe pivot a

765
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:41,720
little bit and reassess maybe try to save this building, I believe the 160 days was

766
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:48,760
was requested by a couple different people, so what's the, you know, and now that you're

767
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,080
both there, what's your opinion of, I realize this building is for sale, you are entertaining

768
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:59,120
offers, but what is there a time frame where we could, I mean I say we, the community

769
00:59:59,120 --> 00:59:59,960
It can be mentioned in top.

770
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:00,640
Our mechanism to have a serveruais contrast to allow, is removeable as the rooms discipline throughout the

771
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:08,220
borders and give a work group the 160 days that they ask for to investigate to

772
01:00:08,220 --> 01:00:13,000
try to see if it's something not only if they can come up with funds to purchase the building,

773
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,560
but also to come up with grants also to come up with the plant.

774
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,680
There is a huge amount of environmental concern it has to be addressed, but their

775
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,860
it may take longer than 160 days.

776
01:00:24,180 --> 01:00:29,980
Are there any possibility of the Board to be able to

777
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:32,400
But we can't, I mean, I mean,

778
01:00:32,540 --> 01:00:35,220
decision to take, this is a board that may be on me.

779
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,500
So we could, they could've thought the form to put something to come on.

780
01:00:38,500 --> 01:00:40,160
I don't think we could, you know, come on.

781
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,960
Come on, you're meeting under an agenda item.

782
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,320
Because it's, it's something that I think we've had a lot of time.

783
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,260
I mean, we haven't, it's been sitting this long.

784
01:00:50,740 --> 01:00:54,740
There's, you know, two or three months to, this is my opinion,

785
01:00:54,900 --> 01:00:58,480
to come up with a plan, before we do something final.

786
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:04,720
But I don't think anybody wants to see that building removed just for the sake ever moving it.

787
01:01:05,220 --> 01:01:08,520
But we have to be responsible and here's the thing.

788
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:10,380
We're at the end of the line on this building.

789
01:01:10,860 --> 01:01:14,240
This building is on on the historic registers of historic building.

790
01:01:16,620 --> 01:01:19,420
I just want to make that clear if it's not.

791
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:24,940
However, all of us that grew up here love that place and we loved going through there.

792
01:01:24,940 --> 01:01:34,500
We have a lot of great memories of that building and we also have an obligation to our residents

793
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:41,000
and taxpayers that if we're going to take on a project to that or assist in any way we have

794
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:47,640
to be responsible and consider all options but millions of dollars and that's just an estimate

795
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,060
from four or five years ago.

796
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,720
So I believe we all want the same thing we want better for that building whether that's the

797
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,560
willing to be renovated or the building to be respectfully removed.

798
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:04,680
But so at this time, I don't think really the commissioners have anything to vote on.

799
01:02:05,460 --> 01:02:09,820
But that's why, you know, the discussion, all the correspondence that came to the commissioners was

800
01:02:09,820 --> 01:02:12,600
in the commissioners allow 160 days.

801
01:02:13,060 --> 01:02:15,320
So that's something that convention in tourism.

802
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,600
I believe have to have on their agenda.

803
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,120
To me, that's something I would like to see.

804
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,420
And we have a cornstarch that we fill out everything, and then we just put it back.

805
01:02:24,540 --> 01:02:28,260
I'll speak to her, because that was my letter, and I thought it was you guys that

806
01:02:28,260 --> 01:02:31,360
we're going to be making a decision, because I've when I read NRS, I got confused.

807
01:02:32,380 --> 01:02:37,020
So what our plan will be now is to get on the agenda of the tourism department, request

808
01:02:37,020 --> 01:02:37,880
that moratorium.

809
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:44,160
For I said 160 days, I was trying to be kind of crafting my letter because it was 160 years old.

810
01:02:44,180 --> 01:02:49,940
But then when I started looking, the listing says it's 160, but then in the down below,

811
01:02:49,940 --> 01:02:52,760
It's like 150 something, but it's still pretty stinking old.

812
01:02:53,040 --> 01:03:00,060
So we're going to ask for a moratorium on any action for 160 days for us to revitalize

813
01:03:00,060 --> 01:03:06,640
that 501C that we had when we did the courthouse project, a safe historical downtown, I don't

814
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:11,680
know, I had some goofy name, I was trying to come up with a good one, but ultimately that 501C

815
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,640
three is about saving and revitalizing the downtown corridor and we attached the courthouse

816
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,680
to it, because eventually you do a tour, you know, by car,

817
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,500
to go buy the courthouse, just do all of it.

818
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,120
Anyway, and of course, you know, how that I feel about the depot,

819
01:03:26,500 --> 01:03:28,440
but those are the type of things we don't want to keep doing.

820
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:29,900
So that's going to be our plan.

821
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:31,200
We'll get on there, agenda.

822
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,700
We'll ask for a more tour of money in the action.

823
01:03:34,420 --> 01:03:35,880
We'll revitalize our 501C.

824
01:03:35,980 --> 01:03:37,580
We'll start working on grants.

825
01:03:38,620 --> 01:03:43,000
Last time, just in disclosure, the county commission gave us a little bit

826
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:49,680
see my need to at least work on the historical designation, which we succeeded in doing on the

827
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:50,020
courthouse.

828
01:03:50,300 --> 01:03:53,880
So going forward, that's what we'll do, so I'll just need to meet with you after to see

829
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:54,820
how to get on your agenda.

830
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:55,580
Thank you.

831
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:56,280
Okay, thank you.

832
01:03:56,540 --> 01:04:04,220
And just my comment really quick is, you know, here we are at the end and so close to, you

833
01:04:04,220 --> 01:04:09,400
know, going one way or the other on this building and, you know, manny went through town and

834
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:13,320
looked at all of our buildings, you know, and there are some of them that are not far behind

835
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:18,240
this one. You know, we have a lot of empty buildings in this town and a lot of those empty

836
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:23,860
buildings had history too. And I think as a community we need to, we can do better.

837
01:04:25,860 --> 01:04:31,660
We can do better, but you know, we all have to, we all have, and it's hard. It's sometimes

838
01:04:31,660 --> 01:04:36,180
it's harder than you think when you start digging into these buildings is sometimes it looks

839
01:04:36,180 --> 01:04:43,320
good and then the deeper you go the worse it is. So you're off the agenda. Yeah so that's all I

840
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:51,530
have to see. I'll I'm running this meeting. Sorry. So I would just like to basically say that

841
01:04:54,220 --> 01:04:59,980
I love what you had to say, Lori. And I think what this agenda item has done is...

842
01:05:01,340 --> 01:05:08,200
And that's what we need. Because I can see, we're talking about the beautification of downtown.

843
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:30,720
I mean, if that could include restoration of some of our heritage or building their way of life, I always speak our way of life, right? That's what I love about that amount of our way of life. And so I think that it's inside of the action. I think that we can possibly have a collaboration to do what is best for our town.

844
01:05:31,420 --> 01:05:36,180
So, with that, basically, we can either vote two.

845
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,360
No, we just have no action on this item.

846
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:42,280
So, I think if I'm hearing everybody write that at this point,

847
01:05:42,540 --> 01:05:44,820
we just take an action on the item.

848
01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:46,280
That's good.

849
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:47,460
Okay.

850
01:05:47,620 --> 01:05:48,820
So, that's the right record.

851
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,160
Reflectable, take an action on this item at this time.

852
01:05:52,940 --> 01:05:53,140
Okay.

853
01:05:55,140 --> 01:05:55,900
We'll move on.

854
01:05:56,660 --> 01:05:57,960
Thanks everybody for coming.

855
01:06:00,380 --> 01:06:02,960
So we're going to move on to 1.6.

856
01:06:03,060 --> 01:06:03,880
This is for discussion.

857
01:06:04,060 --> 01:06:05,080
Apostle Action to approve.

858
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:05,460
Disapproved.

859
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:06,760
First thing that Nevada rule.

860
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,560
Health clinic property located at 1.21 Main Street.

861
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:10,440
Austin, Nevada.

862
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:11,720
Eight, nine, three, one.

863
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:12,140
Zero.

864
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,220
From the Austin Convention in tourism.

865
01:06:14,220 --> 01:06:15,460
Authority board in an amount.

866
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,020
Not to exceed 35,000.

867
01:06:17,220 --> 01:06:19,920
And it was amended to state that it's

868
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:20,820
Linder County Convention.

869
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,300
And tourism formally known as Linder County

870
01:06:23,300 --> 01:06:24,580
Fair and Recreation Board.

871
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:26,340
Okay, guys.

872
01:06:27,260 --> 01:06:27,660
Thank you, my friend.

873
01:06:27,660 --> 01:06:32,320
Back in the go for the record, I board approved the offer from

874
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,620
or enhanced team at our meeting on all the 18th or 35 thousand dollars

875
01:06:35,620 --> 01:06:38,560
and we're just here to get your guys as approval so we can move forward

876
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:39,120
to our process.

877
01:06:39,340 --> 01:06:40,760
I would do just like to make one small correction.

878
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:42,120
My first offer was zero.

879
01:06:44,020 --> 01:06:44,820
I think you can.

880
01:06:44,820 --> 01:06:45,220
I think you can.

881
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:46,140
I think you can.

882
01:06:46,540 --> 01:06:50,040
I think you can.

883
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:50,900
I think you can.

884
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,400
I think you can.

885
01:06:54,060 --> 01:06:54,820
I think you can.

886
01:06:54,900 --> 01:06:56,200
I think you can.

887
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:56,320
I think you can.

888
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:57,780
There are really hard media.

889
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,740
Is the commission have any questions on this side?

890
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:08,500
Off of that, this is one basically government entity

891
01:07:08,500 --> 01:07:15,320
to another due to, I don't know if it's lack of use, lack of

892
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:16,680
promotion for the building.

893
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,700
Why would we go for 35,000?

894
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:29,060
I'm not saying the zero, it is zero, but I mean, it's something's going to be done, I

895
01:07:29,060 --> 01:07:34,920
think it's going to support the community, I mean, why wouldn't the transition be a dollar?

896
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:43,260
What does the 35,000 give you guys, what's that 35,000 been a promote within the tourism

897
01:07:43,260 --> 01:07:43,500
board?

898
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:51,320
The room tax, it's always done that, and it's, I don't know, going off one, is the

899
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:51,820
another.

900
01:07:53,980 --> 01:07:59,640
I don't see why we have to settle on a 35,000 when it's going to benefit

901
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:05,800
Austin. Why can't it be the dollar amount transfer of a dollar between two basically

902
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:14,120
government entities? And put the 34,000 of taxpayer money into getting that building up

903
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:18,980
the part and get it out and making it the health clinic or what we're going to do with it.

904
01:08:18,980 --> 01:08:20,620
It's confusing to me.

905
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,920
Because I know we're doing rebranding our three towns,

906
01:08:23,980 --> 01:08:25,760
Kingston, and Boston, but I know.

907
01:08:26,540 --> 01:08:29,020
So that money is going to come back to us and we're trying

908
01:08:29,020 --> 01:08:31,340
to get our billboards fixed, which is not cheap at all.

909
01:08:31,940 --> 01:08:35,460
We're trying to enter data, old, and fauna part.

910
01:08:35,740 --> 01:08:37,540
See if you come in through Boston for your come up,

911
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:38,980
they will use that shape there.

912
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,220
So we ask for that money just because it's going to go back exactly

913
01:08:42,220 --> 01:08:44,100
just to our advertising for Austin.

914
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,800
We can also use it to help accepting all the things,

915
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,920
which is we own that as well, and I was going to be like our main hub for

916
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,140
convention tourism in Austin.

917
01:08:53,940 --> 01:08:56,960
Are we seeking grants for I mean we will be yes.

918
01:08:57,460 --> 01:08:58,720
Okay, but nothing currently.

919
01:08:58,940 --> 01:09:00,320
Well, I've only been in position officially.

920
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,960
I realize we're coming into a whole new world.

921
01:09:03,300 --> 01:09:06,600
Like I said, the Lumiere building, I know that because like I said,

922
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:10,900
I thought I did a lot with the previous director and thought, you know,

923
01:09:11,100 --> 01:09:12,880
who's told we, you know, the grants and that.

924
01:09:13,140 --> 01:09:15,060
So I think I knew what he was talking about.

925
01:09:15,060 --> 01:09:24,060
But there's also, I mean, I don't see the actively seeking, and you guys just feed or

926
01:09:24,060 --> 01:09:30,700
just get into the mud that to do them signs and that to where, like I said, it's a transfer

927
01:09:30,700 --> 01:09:37,700
of taxpayer money to another group where is they're funding out there to up the billboards

928
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:39,940
because of tourism's importance.

929
01:09:39,940 --> 01:09:44,760
you guys don't get money from the state and stop funding they have stopped

930
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,760
oh wow can we should not try there is no longer funds billboards

931
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:51,940
wow period so we have to pay for all the repairs out of our room tax funds which is

932
01:09:51,940 --> 01:09:53,200
what we're doing

933
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,640
or do you definitely yes so I think it's how they came to the 35 thousand is that's

934
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,980
what convention and tourism purchase that I am for when when

935
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:08,580
And they purchased it and, well, we volumes were Ray Williams. It was one who gave me that history. The county didn't

936
01:10:08,580 --> 01:10:13,100
purchase it because the gentleman who was selling it at the time, it wanted it sold like that day or within the

937
01:10:13,100 --> 01:10:17,420
week. And convention tourism just picked up the phone and called a few board members to

938
01:10:17,420 --> 01:10:20,980
down. We pulled by it. They went and bought it. And the county still had to convene a commission

939
01:10:20,980 --> 01:10:25,780
meeting and go through the steps to try to purchase it. So they paid 35,000 for it back in the day.

940
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:29,980
And that's what they're hoping to get back out of it was what they had into it. That's how they came

941
01:10:29,980 --> 01:10:31,020
the number I just wanted to go.

942
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,980
And that is a main hub for parking there, right?

943
01:10:33,980 --> 01:10:36,680
As I say, that is the only parking for courthouse.

944
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,980
And convention and tourism has kindly allowed the county

945
01:10:39,980 --> 01:10:41,480
to park there all these years.

946
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,000
And we gave them first right to purchase these.

947
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:45,340
Right.

948
01:10:45,700 --> 01:10:46,880
It was never listed.

949
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:47,660
It was just.

950
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:48,520
Right.

951
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:50,140
He does the county want this.

952
01:10:50,220 --> 01:10:53,020
Because John Chanks went he originally sold that building.

953
01:10:53,380 --> 01:10:55,860
The understanding was that he wanted that parking lot

954
01:10:55,860 --> 01:10:58,740
to continue to be used for the county for the courthouse.

955
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:05,860
And with that, you know, the county has always done, we've repaved it, we've done all the maintenance,

956
01:11:07,420 --> 01:11:13,720
snow removal, so we've chipped in making sure that we did our part on that relationship.

957
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:18,820
We don't need to ask them to go to another building with this, as a storage yet.

958
01:11:19,100 --> 01:11:21,140
No, that's a reality of it.

959
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,360
Okay, is there any more discussion on this item from the commission?

960
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,260
Does the public have any input on this item?

961
01:11:30,500 --> 01:11:30,580
Okay.

962
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:31,520
I'll hear a motion.

963
01:11:32,380 --> 01:11:37,800
I'm motion that we approve the purchasing of the Nevada rule.

964
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,380
Health clinic property at 121 Main Street,

965
01:11:40,480 --> 01:11:45,540
Austin from Austin Convention Center in the amount of not to exceed 30,000.

966
01:11:46,100 --> 01:11:46,700
Okay, we have a motion.

967
01:11:46,980 --> 01:11:47,400
I'll second.

968
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:48,180
And a second.

969
01:11:48,660 --> 01:11:49,400
All of there, say aye.

970
01:11:49,980 --> 01:11:51,460
I do have one column.

971
01:11:51,820 --> 01:12:02,020
When we finish the new community center there in Austin, the clinic will be moving up there into a beautiful new area and facility, and so the building would just be sitting there anyway

972
01:12:02,020 --> 01:12:08,960
So this allows the county to come in and do something better because our new clinic building is going to be amazing

973
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:10,980
Thank you.

974
01:12:11,020 --> 01:12:12,640
I think you're going to be working, ladies.

975
01:12:13,140 --> 01:12:14,360
I'd better choose some new billboard.

976
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:15,820
Oh, you will.

977
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:17,940
All right.

978
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:19,860
Moving on, 1.7, for discussion,

979
01:12:20,020 --> 01:12:23,440
a possible action to hold a month-long county participation

980
01:12:23,860 --> 01:12:26,560
and support in a community-wide competition

981
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,780
and fund-dreating initiative called Paint to Town, Cancer,

982
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:31,600
Ribbon Colors, and October.

983
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:34,920
All the grace for the record.

984
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:36,460
I will take a conference.

985
01:12:36,460 --> 01:12:41,600
I don't know if we're so sitting down to you, this is not going to work from.

986
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:43,620
Thank you.

987
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:54,520
The chamber was kind of manipulated into this by me, so I'm going to take 110% responsibility.

988
01:12:55,800 --> 01:13:02,160
Our community, and most of our lives, have been hit at some level by cancer.

989
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:09,260
And I honestly, with full disclosure, stole this idea from Palin, I found it when I first

990
01:13:09,260 --> 01:13:14,340
came on board as the executive director for the chamber, and they had to paint the town.

991
01:13:14,580 --> 01:13:15,720
There's was one week.

992
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:20,200
I thought, well, heck, if they can do one week, we can go bigger, go home.

993
01:13:20,780 --> 01:13:26,160
So, I have been working on this for about a year and a half, getting everything, getting the

994
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:33,060
and puzzles together, you know, sometimes you have to drop little hints here and there and walk

995
01:13:33,060 --> 01:13:37,060
away and then pretty soon they're following behind you which is exactly what has happened

996
01:13:37,060 --> 01:13:48,440
for me. We are bringing back in October, the beer crawl for the chamber, because it's October

997
01:13:48,440 --> 01:13:55,520
past, right? Well October is also breast cancer awareness. Cancer awareness is a hole and

998
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,460
So I said, well, let's do this the whole big thing.

999
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:05,880
And I'll just have the beer crawl, turn October 10th that weekend into a community event

1000
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:13,020
where we have cornhole tournaments, horseshoe tournaments, a chili cookoff, the beer crawl,

1001
01:14:13,500 --> 01:14:20,220
a band in the park, and along with that, when we get people to come into town for those

1002
01:14:20,220 --> 01:14:24,620
things, they're going to see our businesses with the windows painted, they're going to go

1003
01:14:24,620 --> 01:14:30,940
go shop and see a donation can for a breast cancer or a bladder cancer or a prostate cancer

1004
01:14:30,940 --> 01:14:37,060
or a brain cancer that each business chooses their own cancer that they want to represent.

1005
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:45,440
Their needle will be at articles about where at Wednesday, look at all the businesses that

1006
01:14:45,440 --> 01:14:52,860
came in their colors and we will notify that. The chamber will is accepting, I am accepting through

1007
01:14:52,860 --> 01:14:58,940
chamber, that when all of these donations are turned in at the end of the month, we with whatever

1008
01:14:59,480 --> 01:14:59,960
cancer...

1009
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:08,680
Their supporting or research institute, their supporting, that we will count the money, cut the check

1010
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:13,200
through the chamber so that they don't have to deal with it. Put it in the paper, put it on

1011
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:18,740
our website, put it on the county website, put it on Facebook about how much money, all these

1012
01:15:18,740 --> 01:15:25,800
different businesses, organizations, school groups, nonprofits have earned. Turn this into a community

1013
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:30,660
We're a battle mountain, it becomes a legacy event for a battle mountain that it is known for

1014
01:15:30,660 --> 01:15:34,080
October, battle mountains, all about cancer awareness.

1015
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:45,000
This was all well into development before our latest round of prominent, well-loved community

1016
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,900
members that have been hit, that have touched so many lives.

1017
01:15:50,580 --> 01:15:54,900
And it's kind of like to me, it's like, oh, there's a little angel saying, yes, this is

1018
01:15:54,900 --> 01:16:00,800
we need to be doing. So as I have passed given you all packets, I had already sent you the information

1019
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:09,160
on what our purpose was and for the audience if you want, I have them also. But we have included

1020
01:16:12,630 --> 01:16:19,110
the sheet of the different color cancer ribbons and so what we're doing, we're moving forward with us.

1021
01:16:19,110 --> 01:16:26,370
We want the county to come on board so that your departments or whatever, they choose

1022
01:16:26,370 --> 01:16:29,990
If you can do a donation thing, great, more power to you.

1023
01:16:30,010 --> 01:16:34,070
If you want to do a countywide, great, more power to you.

1024
01:16:34,710 --> 01:16:35,430
And participate.

1025
01:16:35,890 --> 01:16:38,010
There's also a calendar in there.

1026
01:16:38,370 --> 01:16:40,610
I've already spoken with the school district with Mr.

1027
01:16:40,750 --> 01:16:42,350
Coyne and the new assistant superintendent,

1028
01:16:43,250 --> 01:16:44,530
and the schools are on board.

1029
01:16:45,450 --> 01:16:47,970
I've already spoken with Heather Frankham with Stu Coe,

1030
01:16:48,190 --> 01:16:50,870
and they are planning homecoming to tie into that.

1031
01:16:50,910 --> 01:16:54,010
We have three games, home football games in October,

1032
01:16:54,010 --> 01:17:07,730
And we are, I have approached some of our different mining entities to purchase three different items that we can pass out free to our attendees.

1033
01:17:08,370 --> 01:17:19,330
One will be gold pink, gold six, gold six, gold six, the will break and they can wave and whenever there's a touchdown, whatever, but at half time we want to take a picture showing

1034
01:17:19,330 --> 01:17:21,790
Paint the town, paint for breast cancer awareness.

1035
01:17:22,430 --> 01:17:26,430
We're pushing to purchase noise makers, beat the beast,

1036
01:17:26,950 --> 01:17:28,870
to make noise, to beat out cancer.

1037
01:17:29,650 --> 01:17:34,050
The other one is wave your color, which is, will purchase a bunch of flags

1038
01:17:34,630 --> 01:17:37,830
and whatever you get when you walk through and wave the flags

1039
01:17:37,830 --> 01:17:41,590
in the different cancer colors so that we're incorporating the schools.

1040
01:17:42,090 --> 01:17:47,470
The schools are very much on board with doing a cancer

1041
01:17:47,470 --> 01:17:55,570
color dress update. The businesses are the schools have said they are more than happy to

1042
01:17:55,570 --> 01:18:01,370
let the businesses take over with window painting. They'll choose a theme kind of to go

1043
01:18:01,370 --> 01:18:04,710
along with cancer for homecoming that goes homecoming as well as cancer.

1044
01:18:05,730 --> 01:18:11,010
If businesses choose to utilize that to tie into their window painting, they're an agreement.

1045
01:18:11,010 --> 01:18:15,770
So I've already laid a lot of foundations to get this going.

1046
01:18:16,170 --> 01:18:20,170
My big push is the more we can get on board and get out there.

1047
01:18:21,310 --> 01:18:24,930
I'm going to haven't hit him up yet, but I'm going to hit up the volunteer fire department.

1048
01:18:25,410 --> 01:18:29,790
Our American Fortemany Legion, RVFW, to get them involved.

1049
01:18:30,810 --> 01:18:32,030
We have a lot of ideas.

1050
01:18:32,690 --> 01:18:35,070
I can't do it all. The chamber can't do it all.

1051
01:18:35,070 --> 01:18:37,550
forism is jumped in on board with some things.

1052
01:18:38,490 --> 01:18:41,270
So we are, I have already kind of laid the groundwork.

1053
01:18:41,430 --> 01:18:43,650
I just want you to be aware of what's going.

1054
01:18:43,910 --> 01:18:45,730
And so that you can help us promote it

1055
01:18:45,730 --> 01:18:47,670
and get it out there to the public

1056
01:18:47,670 --> 01:18:49,250
that this is what's happening.

1057
01:18:52,480 --> 01:18:55,100
I have been asked by as the girls

1058
01:18:55,100 --> 01:18:57,100
at the Civic Center called themselves,

1059
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,800
the Northside Gain, to give you a little bit of a preview

1060
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,120
of what they have already planned.

1061
01:19:04,340 --> 01:19:06,180
They have already purchased a big flag,

1062
01:19:06,180 --> 01:19:10,960
like what is up in on the, for the 250th anniversary,

1063
01:19:11,480 --> 01:19:15,120
they've already purchased a big flag for cancer awareness

1064
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,980
that will replace that one, about cancer awareness.

1065
01:19:18,260 --> 01:19:22,200
They already have their own scheme going on.

1066
01:19:22,340 --> 01:19:25,360
But this is one of the things, as a building, we all went together

1067
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,620
and purchased these jackets and

1068
01:19:33,220 --> 01:19:33,980
our names.

1069
01:19:34,500 --> 01:19:37,740
If you're a lender county, the lender county employees have their names

1070
01:19:37,740 --> 01:19:41,080
with the cancers that they are representing that they've been impacted

1071
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:49,360
by and the chamber purchased mine for me after after I purchased it then they okay for it.

1072
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:56,700
But we've we've already designed developed a plan for our wear at Wednesdays as a building.

1073
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,840
We will wear a different color each Wednesday.

1074
01:20:00,110 --> 01:20:09,190
That represents someone that is being impacted by that family in our community or in their families.

1075
01:20:09,850 --> 01:20:18,250
So we are well on our way. We hope that the rest of the county and the community, our businesses, our non-profits, will all jump on board.

1076
01:20:18,930 --> 01:20:24,530
And Julie, start this out where it's grassroots and it's chamber driven.

1077
01:20:24,530 --> 01:20:30,550
And then, eventually, hopefully, have it be something that tourism steps on board and brings

1078
01:20:30,550 --> 01:20:35,110
in a band, brings in a district, brings in performers.

1079
01:20:35,510 --> 01:20:40,390
I could see this easily turning into a two-day or a three-day event where we celebrate

1080
01:20:40,390 --> 01:20:43,650
we do have approval to do a chili cook-off.

1081
01:20:44,130 --> 01:20:50,370
I know what we need to do, so you'll be seeing emails and posts and Facebook things all

1082
01:20:50,370 --> 01:20:53,470
about looking for people to do a chili cook off.

1083
01:20:54,550 --> 01:20:58,630
It's going to be something I have a passion about this.

1084
01:21:00,710 --> 01:21:02,490
And we have community members.

1085
01:21:02,570 --> 01:21:03,570
Let's give a heart in this.

1086
01:21:03,810 --> 01:21:05,010
So this is more informative.

1087
01:21:05,670 --> 01:21:07,190
There's no financial ask.

1088
01:21:08,530 --> 01:21:11,450
We just want our ask is your involvement,

1089
01:21:12,210 --> 01:21:14,870
not just this, but do we.

1090
01:21:15,590 --> 01:21:16,490
So any questions?

1091
01:21:17,170 --> 01:21:29,390
I have to say, I love your energy and your positive energy to collaborate and kind of bring out the best of us as a community so I just want to acknowledge that.

1092
01:21:29,610 --> 01:21:30,270
Thank you.

1093
01:21:30,970 --> 01:21:32,990
So, just a commission, have any questions for Holly?

1094
01:21:33,510 --> 01:21:35,970
No, I think it's a wonderful program. It's a great idea.

1095
01:21:36,450 --> 01:21:37,270
Push it out, Austin.

1096
01:21:39,490 --> 01:21:40,890
Are you just doing the chili cookbook?

1097
01:21:41,050 --> 01:21:41,990
Where are you going to do that at?

1098
01:21:41,990 --> 01:21:45,290
Did you let Cacophil be at Elquist Park on the 10th?

1099
01:21:45,530 --> 01:21:47,470
So it'll be the same days of the beer crawl.

1100
01:21:48,290 --> 01:21:49,790
And conjunction with the ball festival?

1101
01:21:50,230 --> 01:21:51,010
That day too?

1102
01:21:51,270 --> 01:21:51,490
No.

1103
01:21:51,510 --> 01:21:52,330
The ball festival?

1104
01:21:52,890 --> 01:21:58,610
I believe if later we had originally planned on the 17th.

1105
01:21:58,650 --> 01:22:00,890
I don't remember exactly the ball festival day.

1106
01:22:01,130 --> 01:22:03,490
I'll have to double check that with the Rec Center with Daniel.

1107
01:22:04,630 --> 01:22:10,670
I believe there's as the weekend after the homecoming.

1108
01:22:10,670 --> 01:22:13,870
we initially chose homecoming week and the board says,

1109
01:22:14,050 --> 01:22:15,570
oh, we didn't honestly know we can't.

1110
01:22:15,810 --> 01:22:17,150
We are not doing a bare crawl.

1111
01:22:17,790 --> 01:22:21,390
When it's homecoming dance, that's not happening.

1112
01:22:22,170 --> 01:22:24,390
Not remotely and not quite.

1113
01:22:25,630 --> 01:22:29,830
So we moved it up a week, which actually works better for me

1114
01:22:29,830 --> 01:22:31,550
because of business trick trade.

1115
01:22:32,030 --> 01:22:32,770
But I

1116
01:22:35,750 --> 01:22:39,070
believe I sent Amy and Amy on email to ask her,

1117
01:22:39,150 --> 01:22:40,970
but I think there was a state organization

1118
01:22:40,970 --> 01:22:42,790
that was also working on that.

1119
01:22:42,790 --> 01:22:48,290
for doing the whole paint the state of the colors and if Amy sends me the information I will

1120
01:22:48,290 --> 01:22:55,050
forward share it and then we will share what we're doing with them yes okay that's commission

1121
01:22:55,050 --> 01:23:01,730
have you other questions for all if not the public have any questions for all okay you know how to

1122
01:23:01,730 --> 01:23:11,650
get hold of me and I expect to hear so basically do

1123
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:15,840
we need a motion on the

1124
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:19,800
Billor, can we just voice your support for?

1125
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,360
Well, anybody that like to make a motion?

1126
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:27,180
I'll hear a motion

1127
01:23:30,770 --> 01:23:34,550
to support the action,

1128
01:23:35,390 --> 01:23:38,490
although a month long part dissipation and support community

1129
01:23:38,490 --> 01:23:44,770
like a competition of unraising initiative through the...

1130
01:23:45,170 --> 01:23:45,690
I'll second.

1131
01:23:45,810 --> 01:23:46,690
I have a motion in a second.

1132
01:23:46,890 --> 01:23:47,470
All clear to say aye?

1133
01:23:47,490 --> 01:23:47,790
Aye.

1134
01:23:49,050 --> 01:23:49,630
Moving on.

1135
01:23:49,790 --> 01:23:50,150
Thank you.

1136
01:23:50,290 --> 01:23:50,550
Thank you.

1137
01:23:50,550 --> 01:23:53,390
Q of course wants and futures in items.

1138
01:23:54,550 --> 01:23:56,070
Anybody have anything on this item?

1139
01:23:59,100 --> 01:24:02,400
I remember we have one meeting in September.

1140
01:24:04,260 --> 01:24:08,460
So obviously we'll need to get item 1.4 back on the agenda.

1141
01:24:10,260 --> 01:24:12,220
Anything else that we'd like to see on there?

1142
01:24:13,380 --> 01:24:16,200
The fire guy said he was going to be approaching you.

1143
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,220
To do the presentation.

1144
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:19,560
I talked to him yesterday.

1145
01:24:21,940 --> 01:24:28,840
Where are we at, Bill, on the information on the regional transport commission from a legal

1146
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:36,020
standpoint, the ability to abolish that? Is that something we're waiting for an opinion on?

1147
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:43,000
As far as us, if we do abolish that commission in our grant funding, the effecting, I know

1148
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:47,180
there's, that's what we talked about last time, is there been any progress made on that?

1149
01:24:47,180 --> 01:24:49,320
Yeah, I

1150
01:24:52,610 --> 01:24:59,810
would like to check with Marky and Albert Bach just because they do more.

1151
01:25:01,710 --> 01:25:15,130
Our TCs around the state, you know, not just us, and find out if there's any repercussions from a tax angle, that's my biggest concern.

1152
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:24,100
Basically, we know you can run without one because we have done.

1153
01:25:24,100 --> 01:25:37,580
So my question in Bill is it could we could we agenda ice as part of our commissioners agenda something to look at projects to spend the money that we have in that fund?

1154
01:25:37,780 --> 01:25:51,100
That's what I'm thinking right here because of my research, okay, conditionally, but I want to check with them but not conditionally you have under chapter 244.

1155
01:25:51,100 --> 01:26:01,760
You have, I forget the exact section, but you have complete control over roads, bridges, and so on within the county.

1156
01:26:03,480 --> 01:26:10,580
Part of the old, some of the older than even me, might remember the old road conditions.

1157
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:17,220
But at any rate, you have that kind of authority in general.

1158
01:26:17,220 --> 01:26:21,520
And because of that authority, you should be able to spend it.

1159
01:26:21,900 --> 01:26:25,400
I just need to double check that I'm right on that.

1160
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:32,640
Another option is if we can't dispend that our abolish that is piggyback off one of the

1161
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:38,460
commissioner meetings, we either recess the commissioner meetings and have the regional transport

1162
01:26:38,460 --> 01:26:41,140
commission, because the members are sitting all in this.

1163
01:26:42,540 --> 01:26:50,260
regional transport commission could meet immediately after or immediately before the

1164
01:26:50,260 --> 01:26:51,960
count commissioners.

1165
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:52,360
Okay.

1166
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:58,920
Just set it that way and I don't think if you state it's immediately after and then

1167
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:01,920
you know you've got this beginning time for the commission.

1168
01:27:02,860 --> 01:27:06,900
I don't think you have to set an actual time for it.

1169
01:27:06,900 --> 01:27:13,620
and can be okay, because anybody wants to be there, they can give it time on the agenda.

1170
01:27:14,700 --> 01:27:15,720
Well, nine o'clock.

1171
01:27:17,020 --> 01:27:18,780
They have to do their own agenda.

1172
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:21,260
Yeah, it does have to be agenda.

1173
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:22,340
Okay.

1174
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:23,100
All right.

1175
01:27:23,180 --> 01:27:24,260
Thank you.

1176
01:27:24,460 --> 01:27:24,720
All right.

1177
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,360
Any more on the course on its or future agenda items?

1178
01:27:27,440 --> 01:27:28,540
I just have one comment.

1179
01:27:29,340 --> 01:27:32,660
After our meeting last time, we talked with our book with the attorneys.

1180
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,000
Last week, finally, people started getting their paperwork.

1181
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:40,160
so I think that that helped. So, there are a few people who have about 30 days now.

1182
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:46,100
Perfect. Okay, there's no more of that. We'll move into public comment for non-indicted items.

1183
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:51,320
Is there any public comment? Okay, I'll hear a motion for adjournment.

1184
01:27:51,780 --> 01:27:54,480
So moved. Seconds. Okay, I'll have to say aye.

1185
01:27:54,580 --> 01:27:55,580
All right. All right.

1186
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:57,120
Thank you, everybody.
