1
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:26,160
The commission may 1, change the order of the agenda 2, combine two or more to agenda. 2, combine two or more agenda items for consideration. 3, remove an item from the agenda, or delay discussion,

2
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:34,200
relating to an item on the agenda at any time. And 4, if the agenda is not completed, recess the meeting and we'll continue on another specified date and time.

3
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:46,640
The commission may interrupt the open meeting and exclude the public for the purposes of having an attorney client discussion to receive legal advice and to deliberate on the legal advice pursuant in our S-241-0154-C.

4
00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:56,680
The commission may break four lines from 12 p.m. to 115 p.m. persons are invited to submit written comments in writing and or attend and may comments on any agenda item at the commission meeting.

5
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:04,440
The public can come in on any agenda item by being acknowledged by the chair while the commission considers that agenda item all public comments

6
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,160
Maybe limited to three minutes per person. So I'll call this meeting to order

7
00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:10,380
Bert, would you listen to the question?

8
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,160
The

9
00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:22,870
allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands

10
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:25,510
One nation under God

11
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:29,430
The individual was already in justice for all of

12
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,460
the moment of silence.

13
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,180
All right, we're going to Commissioner's reports.

14
00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:47,380
Dean, we'll start with you.

15
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,120
I went to NACO, but because Bert put the thing on the end there,

16
00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:53,860
I don't have to give a report on that.

17
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:55,100
I'm sure you guys already read it.

18
00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:58,540
Reminder the NACO conference is coming up at the end of this month,

19
00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:00,500
the 22nd through the 25th.

20
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,840
And let me see.

21
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,660
I think we did.

22
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:06,630
That's about it.

23
00:02:06,970 --> 00:02:07,950
It's been pretty quiet.

24
00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:08,930
All right, thanks, Dean.

25
00:02:08,930 --> 00:02:25,790
All right, I attended the Landern County School District meeting on September 8th, and I'm really happy to report that they've got new heating and air in the Austin schools, so that's working, they put in so many splits there, they're still working on the high school here, but that's kind of been a 20 year venture.

26
00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:33,910
They also, interesting enough, I've been kind of following their legal fees that they

27
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:42,810
grow and quite enormously over the last six years, so they are changing legal representations.

28
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:46,770
So I did make public comment that hopefully that will save them some money and they can

29
00:02:47,370 --> 00:02:49,890
give that money back to the kids because they've spent a lot of money there.

30
00:02:49,890 --> 00:02:55,950
there. I attended the Frontier Community Coalition meeting yesterday. There's something

31
00:02:55,950 --> 00:03:01,530
really interesting there. There was a gal from Winamaka that had reported that the big

32
00:03:01,530 --> 00:03:07,450
topic at the mayoral debate was lender county because we're doing such wonderful things

33
00:03:07,450 --> 00:03:12,090
and we're kind of leading the way for the other counties and setting a precedent. So they're

34
00:03:12,090 --> 00:03:15,930
all talking about the great things we're doing over here so that's kind of cool. Yeah.

35
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:16,010
Yeah.

36
00:03:19,310 --> 00:03:21,770
We had the hospital board meeting last night.

37
00:03:22,930 --> 00:03:23,510
Construction's done.

38
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:26,030
The good news there is they paid for that in full.

39
00:03:26,190 --> 00:03:30,510
I think it was around $18 million somewhere there, so they have no loans on that.

40
00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:34,550
They are doing pretty good financially.

41
00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:36,810
Net proceeds have helped a lot, so that's great.

42
00:03:38,010 --> 00:03:40,490
And then I did one more thing at the hospital.

43
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:44,210
They've got some new care providers, Dr. Wilcoord's coming back, which is great.

44
00:03:44,210 --> 00:03:48,950
and Vicki can cade for women's health so we're really happy to have her back

45
00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:52,090
and then I did a walk through the fire station yesterday that's come a long

46
00:03:52,090 --> 00:03:59,310
really nice so that's it yeah good morning everybody I attended the

47
00:03:59,310 --> 00:04:05,010
lepsy meeting and we had our annual tabletop exercise that went really well we

48
00:04:05,010 --> 00:04:10,270
had members of lepsy EMS our Lander County Volunteer Fire Department the

49
00:04:10,270 --> 00:04:16,810
Army Fire Department, Phoenix Mine Rescue, and the exercise was what would happen if

50
00:04:16,810 --> 00:04:23,350
we had electric vehicles catch fire here within our town, and CJ was the incident

51
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:23,690
command.

52
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:28,770
He did a great job, and the whole exercise took about 45 minutes, went really good, had

53
00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:29,490
a lot of good feedback.

54
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:37,370
The health fair is going to be on September 26th from 7 to 11, and I believe that's at

55
00:04:37,370 --> 00:04:38,110
the Civic Center.

56
00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:46,870
Also, the flu pod is going to be October 22nd, and I believe that's going to be the same place it always is right by the John Peters building.

57
00:04:47,790 --> 00:04:52,950
I attended the fan meeting, that's the flight alliance of Northern Nevada and Elco.

58
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:59,830
So Landor County, we had pledged $250,000 to be part of that, so I'm attending.

59
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:29,220
Along with members of the county, our county managers to see if it makes sense to continue on with that, supporting that. So, right now, currently, Elko has about 11 commercial flights a week. And they're encouraging residents to check those rates once in a while to see, because most people, when they fly on a vacation, they'll fly out of Salt Lake or they'll fly out of Reno. So, check those rates once in a while. Sometimes there's,

60
00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:36,980
because that's one of the arguments is I want to see if it's worth it for Land or County and our residents to continue to support this.

61
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:46,060
I mean, if those rates are favourable or not favourable, if you could give me some feedback, that'd be great, so that I could pass that on.

62
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:51,360
But they're looking to put on an event at the Elk Airport here and they'll get a date for that.

63
00:05:51,360 --> 00:06:02,300
And so yeah, I attended a VLM meeting with Hurt and Sean here with the Court House and talked about a few different things.

64
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:07,580
I did ask about the lands for disposal coming up in October.

65
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:14,960
And they said there's two different ways that they're getting rid of properties or they're leasing properties.

66
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:33,660
the ones to private individuals, residents will be leased or sold at fair market value, and also there's special land designations for government entities which would be the lander county where we could get a discounted rate for if we're using that for affordable housing.

67
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:43,840
So as we kind of move through that, I'll try to report a little bit better on that, but not encouraging if we could get land for affordable housing at a discounted rate.

68
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,360
I also attended the FCC meeting.

69
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:48,800
Okay, thank you very much.

70
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:52,180
All right, we'll move into staff reports.

71
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,240
Good morning, Mr. Everything that we have is on the agenda.

72
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,340
Okay, thank you very much.

73
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,260
We'll move into public comment.

74
00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:03,820
This is devoted to managing the items only.

75
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:04,720
Is there any public comment?

76
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:05,660
Yes.

77
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,160
Okay.

78
00:07:15,330 --> 00:07:15,690
Good morning.

79
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:21,330
Holly Priest, Chamber of Commerce for the Record, and Becky Linda, the Land of County Convention

80
00:07:21,330 --> 00:07:21,810
and Tourism.

81
00:07:21,810 --> 00:07:30,870
We want to invite everyone and our board to the Human Powered Speed Challenge races that are starting Sunday.

82
00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:41,750
We are presenting board members and our county managers with T-shirts that the tourism purchased and we're creating gift packs.

83
00:07:41,750 --> 00:07:50,870
So I will stop there and have schedules so that you know, hopefully if you are interested, we could probably arrange if you wanted to do a chase car.

84
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:55,070
We could probably arrange you to do a ride in the chase car and watch the bike

85
00:07:55,530 --> 00:07:58,470
bikers if you want to do something like that just let us know and we could

86
00:07:58,890 --> 00:08:01,450
work that out for you but we're going to give you the t-shirts or belly

87
00:08:01,450 --> 00:08:07,730
Becky tells you. I just wanted to say to you guys that we put together for all the

88
00:08:07,730 --> 00:08:12,990
racers and their teams and the volunteers that are coming so the chamber donated

89
00:08:12,990 --> 00:08:18,950
the bags so this is the chamber of commerce bag and then inside each bag is an

90
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:24,920
Nevada book and then they have a little bag that has postcards,

91
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,820
so the different postcards.

92
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:36,360
They have stickers, so the chamber logo with all the roads lead to Nevada Mountain, the

93
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:42,440
poster for this year, and then the commission of tourism logo, and then they also have

94
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,340
a pen that has the Book of New Pirates Beach Challenge and commission of tourism on it.

95
00:08:47,820 --> 00:08:51,260
And then Courtney, Tamara, made us some soaps and chopsticks.

96
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,620
We did longhorn and sage to represent Nevada.

97
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,960
And then they all got a water bottle that has commissioned tourism, and ultimately

98
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,400
it has been challenged in 2026.

99
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,940
And then a charge cord so that they can charge all their devices while they're here.

100
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:12,600
And then they each get a little key change and block for while they're out on the truck.

101
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,840
So yeah, I think it's take all the first back home to all their friends and families back in the country they come from and share it with everybody.

102
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,700
So, sorry, yes.

103
00:09:22,780 --> 00:09:25,620
Thanks for doing a welcome dinner to them.

104
00:09:26,140 --> 00:09:29,660
So if you want to come and meet them and join us, we're welcoming.

105
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:31,860
Thank you, ladies.

106
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:32,140
Yeah.

107
00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:34,740
We have more public comment.

108
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:41,360
Good morning.

109
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:51,720
On Lamont's question about flying out of Elkville, the problem is the availability of the flights.

110
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:59,600
So the flight leaves like 6 in the morning and connecting flights out of Salt Lake Irrino aren't till 5-6 hours later.

111
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:29,800
So at that point, you know, isn't worth your benefit to even try to, the rate's not the issue, what's the availability and the timing. So. Yeah, I asked, I asked that question, Tom, because it's. Really, I don't think there's a really great time. Some of the days, there's, there's two flights running out of there. So 11 flights a week, some of those days, there's two flights, there'll be a morning in a, in a later flight. So I asked that question is, you know, on these days where there's only one flight that, that is in the morning.

112
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,180
Sometimes, if you're flying in the, if you take the second flight and you're flying pretty

113
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:39,720
far east, you know, that pretty much wastes a whole day because I did ask that question

114
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,520
by the time you get east, but with the time change, the three hour time change, and you're

115
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,820
already, you've already wasted a day, so you know, if you have any feedback on that or, you

116
00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:50,720
know, when you call for aid.

117
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,680
That is my feedback.

118
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:52,660
I know.

119
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Yeah.

120
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,940
It's the timing of the flight.

121
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:55,740
It's not the rate.

122
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,480
Yeah.

123
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,520
not the rate, but it's the timing of a flight at that point.

124
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:08,600
So, and my second question is on the disposal of public lands, I've got a couple emails

125
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:14,480
from friends and that that are on different boards and the state was looking at going forward

126
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,320
with the sale of public lands and they call it disposal.

127
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:23,460
And so if there are public lands, why do we need to be disposed of them, so if I only question

128
00:11:23,460 --> 00:11:29,020
It was, uh, if the commissioners could follow up on that, it would be greatly appreciated.

129
00:11:29,460 --> 00:11:30,480
Okay, so thank you.

130
00:11:30,540 --> 00:11:30,620
Thank you.

131
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:30,860
Thank you.

132
00:11:30,860 --> 00:11:31,140
We'll be.

133
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:31,340
Thank you.

134
00:11:32,780 --> 00:11:37,300
I did hear or read somewhere that Elko was talking about trying to do a flight to Reno.

135
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:38,800
Did they say anything to you about that?

136
00:11:39,020 --> 00:11:39,620
Mm-hmm.

137
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:45,080
No, but, um, I'll look, I can look into it because, uh, and any, any questions or anything,

138
00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:49,820
I'll, I'll, I'm gonna, these heavily involved as I can to try to see if this is a good

139
00:11:49,820 --> 00:11:53,660
Yeah, so we're on public, we're just non agenda. Yeah, we can't deliver it.

140
00:11:53,820 --> 00:12:00,440
So that was, I was going to ask you later, but has there any other public comment for non agenda ideas?

141
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,580
Okay, hearing none, we'll move into our consent agenda. All matters listed under the consent agenda are considered

142
00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:12,100
routine and may be acted upon by the Board of County Commissions Commissioners with one action without extensive discussion.

143
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:19,480
Any members of the board or any citizen may request an item taken from the consent agenda discussed and acted upon separately during this meeting.

144
00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:25,420
We'll just end it in a material that are available for land or county courts office reviewing and copies are available for our nominal charge.

145
00:12:25,740 --> 00:12:36,340
We have one approval of September 10th, 2026, agenda notice which we will need to amend item 1.10 at the end of B.

146
00:12:37,260 --> 00:12:40,620
It should read number four consultants.

147
00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:47,620
will receive a one-time $5,000 additional fee for each qualifying new event substantially developed by the

148
00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:52,760
consultant approved by the Board of County Commissioners and finalized through an executed agreement subject to

149
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,460
applicable law and appropriations.

150
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:56,960
So that amendment needs to be made.

151
00:12:57,540 --> 00:13:00,740
We have two approval of July 23, 2026 meeting minutes.

152
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,100
We have three approval of August 13, 2026 meeting minutes.

153
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:09,580
and we have four approval of August 27th, 20th, 26 meeting minutes.

154
00:13:10,220 --> 00:13:12,900
With that, I'll need a motion for items one and two.

155
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:22,820
Motion to approve one with the amended changes on 1.10 at the end of B with those changes as discussed.

156
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,120
And approve the July 23rd, 20th, 26 meeting minutes.

157
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,680
Okay, so we have a motion and a second, on the paper say aye.

158
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:37,060
Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, moving on. 1.1 for discussion and possible action to approve.

159
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:42,820
Disapprove the payment of bills. We'll need to pull a check number APA 004609 and that

160
00:13:42,820 --> 00:13:48,400
check is to point S. And if there's no question on the remainder of the bills, I'll hear a motion.

161
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,680
A motion before you guys make that motion, there is a contract payment to a goldmob aviation.

162
00:13:53,140 --> 00:13:56,600
And I just wanted to disclose that that is my niece that was made previously when they got

163
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,460
the contract, but just to make sure. Okay. Thank you for that.

164
00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:03,540
that disclosure group, so if there's no further questions,

165
00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:04,220
I'll hear a motion.

166
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,440
A motion to approve the payment of the bill's removal

167
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,500
of the one that's stated.

168
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,660
Okay, is there a second?

169
00:14:11,980 --> 00:14:12,400
A second.

170
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:14,260
Okay, I have a motion in a second.

171
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,080
I'll in favor say aye.

172
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,540
All right.

173
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:16,520
Okay.

174
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,300
I'll make a motion to approve APA004609.

175
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:21,480
I'll second it.

176
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,720
I have a motion in a second.

177
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:23,600
I'll in favor say aye.

178
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,320
All right, thank you.

179
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,180
Okay, and I've seen that it is made to point S,

180
00:14:26,340 --> 00:14:27,320
which they are my client.

181
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:57,240
Okay, so we're going to move into 1.2 public hearing for discussion and possible action to approve disapproved the proposed ordinance number 2026-01, which repealed chapter 2.08 of the Lander County Code entitled Lander County Fiscal Officer because the Lander County Board of County Commissioners created the Office of County Controller by resolution to replace the position of County Fiscal Officer, rendering chapter 2.08 of the Lander County Code

182
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,820
the entitled Anner County Fiscal Officer Unnecessary.

183
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,260
And for other matters, properly related, there are two.

184
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:24,440
Anybody have any questions on this item? This is just a second reading, right? Yep. Okay. I'll hear a motion. Pardon? Oh, yes. Sorry. Thank you, Mike. Is there any public comment on this? This is the public hearing? Okay. Hearing none. I will hear a motion.

185
00:15:27,090 --> 00:15:34,970
All motion to approve the proposed ordinance number 2026-01, which reveals the chapter 2.

186
00:15:34,970 --> 00:15:37,130
two point zero eight of the Lander County Code

187
00:15:37,130 --> 00:15:38,950
entitled Lander County Fiscal Officer

188
00:15:38,950 --> 00:15:40,550
because the Lander County...

189
00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:44,580
All second.

190
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:46,240
Okay, we have a motion and a second.

191
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,060
All in favor say aye.

192
00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:47,440
Aye.

193
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,320
Okay, 1.3 for discussion and possible action

194
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,600
to approve, disapproved the renewal of the airport hangar.

195
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,500

196
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:02,080
and Carla E. Harlis term will be August 27th, 2026

197
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,840
to September 30th, 2056.

198
00:16:05,580 --> 00:16:07,400
Commissioners, would you mind tabling this one

199
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,380
until the end of the meeting, we got a few changes we need to make on there as far as the description for the building.

200
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Okay, we will table, are we just going to table until later in the meeting, just to the end.

201
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:21,860
Okay, so we'll just postpone this one so a little bit later, moving on.

202
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,340
1.4, discussion and possible action to approve, disapprove, and

203
00:16:26,340 --> 00:16:34,380
ask access and public utility easement over a portion of land or county APN, 011-430-01

204
00:16:34,380 --> 00:16:43,660
one in Section 11, Township 31 North, R-45 East, MDB and M, adjacent to Hilltop Road,

205
00:16:44,180 --> 00:16:50,580
which Lander County owns and to authorize the execution of the grant of easement and the

206
00:16:50,580 --> 00:16:56,520
acceptance of the conveyance on behalf of Lander County by the chair and or vice chair and

207
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,340
to authorize the recording of the grant of easement and the associated documents.

208
00:17:01,340 --> 00:17:06,740
All right anybody have any questions on this okay

209
00:17:08,850 --> 00:17:12,430
I'll hear a motion make a motion to approve

210
00:17:12,430 --> 00:17:21,490
of the access and public utility easement over the portion of Landau County APN 001-430-01

211
00:17:21,490 --> 00:17:32,130
section 11 township 31 North R45 East has discussed okay so we have a motion and a second

212
00:17:32,130 --> 00:17:32,870
All right, all in favor say aye.

213
00:17:33,150 --> 00:17:33,270
Aye.

214
00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:33,710
Okay.

215
00:17:34,990 --> 00:17:51,050
1.5 for discussion and possible action to approve this accrued person seeing the land located at 385 South Mountain Street and Battle Mountain adjacent to the Battle Mountain Cemetery, parcel number 002-2.025 from Donald Stewart in an amount of 43,000.

216
00:17:51,530 --> 00:17:57,490
The subject site is a 0.32 acre or 13,939 square foot property.

217
00:17:58,830 --> 00:17:59,610
Yes, Bill.

218
00:18:00,530 --> 00:18:04,610
I would like to speak against this as a private citizen, okay?

219
00:18:05,330 --> 00:18:05,930
I

220
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:17,240
understand that you were looking at to expand the cemetery and indeed we have a need

221
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,740
for more plots, so something has to be done.

222
00:18:21,540 --> 00:18:29,180
My problem with this is, apart from the fact that I live close by, the current cemetery

223
00:18:29,180 --> 00:18:33,500
It's set up in a particular way to be aesthetically pleasing.

224
00:18:34,460 --> 00:18:42,760
You've got that wall of trees as you enter to kind of make it peaceful inside and so on.

225
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:51,300
Any expansion where you're planning it is going to make it jagged.

226
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,920
It will not be symmetrical any longer.

227
00:18:58,460 --> 00:19:06,620
It's also only going to get you, you know, a few more years at most before we've got

228
00:19:06,620 --> 00:19:07,560
the problem again.

229
00:19:08,420 --> 00:19:14,600
My strong suggestion, because it's going to have to get done sooner or later, is to

230
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:22,940
go find another spot for a new cemetery, probably on the outskirts of town, where it's not

231
00:19:22,940 --> 00:19:30,040
not going to cause interference of all with current buildings and so on.

232
00:19:30,140 --> 00:19:35,020
I mean, because you're running right up against all the houses as it is.

233
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:36,520
It's totally built up.

234
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,860
It was totally built up.

235
00:19:37,980 --> 00:19:47,100
The only reason that light is available is because it had a mobile home on it.

236
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,160
It got dilapidated.

237
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,920
I think the last time anybody lived in it was like probably 20 years ago maybe a

238
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,960
little more. I do seem to recall when I first moved there 25 years.

239
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:29,400
So, yeah, it's available in that sense, but it's going to, like I said, it will not be aesthetically pleasing. You have to do something about having a wall of trees, which,

240
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,120
I mean, when you're in there, you have the sense that you're separated from the rest of the world.

241
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:41,020
Unless there's a siren or horn honking or something that goes by.

242
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,900
But for the most part, it's quiet because of the trees.

243
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,260
And it's completely enclosed.

244
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,680
You move an outside of it, which is what you would necessarily have to do.

245
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:58,720
Sure, you can plant new trees and make sort of a jagged thing there where it would fit in.

246
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:04,460
But, you know, like I said, it's kind of short-sighted.

247
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,880
I just don't think it's a good idea.

248
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,140
You really need to look at where you have other land or where you can purchase other land

249
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:18,720
preferably on the outskirts.

250
00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:26,220
And I would point out Austin's cemetery is outside a town and a lot of towns have done that.

251
00:21:26,220 --> 00:21:39,140
A lot of other towns, of course, it's closer in when a mocha comes to mind, but that's because the rest of the town kind of expanded to catch up with that.

252
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,020
I mean, I think a lot of you in this room can remember before Walmart was built.

253
00:21:46,220 --> 00:21:56,960
and all that stuff out that direction on potato road has come up since they had the cemetery.

254
00:21:57,860 --> 00:22:09,520
So for those reasons, I would suggest that you not purchase this land, it makes it

255
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:20,600
It's simpler if you simply don't purchase it, then it would be to get rid of it later when you're again considering whether to actually expand the cemetery.

256
00:22:21,580 --> 00:22:25,700
So that's why I'm speaking out right now.

257
00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:30,520
That's my two cents worth.

258
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:38,300
I appreciate your time, I just don't think it's going to solve problems for very long.

259
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:39,440
Okay, thank you.

260
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,380
Is it tight for a second?

261
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,840
In case the Commission has any questions or comments on this item.

262
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:58,280
So that property that we're talking about right here, parcel number 002-020-05, that people

263
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,740
lived in that for what, 30 years, maybe right on the other side of the graveyard?

264
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:03,480
Yeah.

265
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:13,740
So, I mean, if you're talking about being aesthetically pleasing that area of town, it needs some work and we're willing to do that work and make something nice there.

266
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:18,740
That was the only mobile home in that section there.

267
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:31,000
The rest of the homes are stick built and somebody put, and I confess I didn't check to see who it is,

268
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:46,260
but somebody put in a foundation for another St. Bill home there and then for whatever reason decided not to finish it right over by 12th Street there.

269
00:23:47,980 --> 00:23:58,660
But the rest of them on the other side of the alley from that lot are all Stic Bill and the Stic Bill that I also own on the corner there

270
00:23:58,660 --> 00:24:09,080
or sort of on the corner, the county's got its tiny little garage, not the big one, but the old little one there.

271
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:25,300
But beside that garage is a hundred-year-old house, 113 to be specific because it was built in 1913, that I own, and then the one next door to that I think was built in the 40s.

272
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:34,340
And then after that, like I said, you've got itsses and a whole bunch of houses right

273
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:46,640
along Third Street that are all stick built and those are the other side of the alleyway.

274
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:54,080
It's basically sticked out area all there, the only place else.

275
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,960
And that trailer that was there wasn't completely out of place because, of course, it's.

276
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:25,120
The trailer park is right across, basically, across the street from where it was. So I think that's why they put that there, you know, or something that could be rented out. And we were a lot less worried about mobile homes and trailers years ago.

277
00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:37,520
I mean, you had trailers right across the street from the hospital up until the early 2000s.

278
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:45,240
I think under Gene Atcherberry had got when he was in birth's position.

279
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,500
I think that stuff finally got removed.

280
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:56,140
But there were, in other words, what I'm getting at is in the nearby area, there were a lot

281
00:25:56,140 --> 00:26:14,340
There isn't any more, it's all stick bill and except for the legacy, the remnants of stuff that are in that lot, that area is all stick billed and the homes are mostly kept up.

282
00:26:15,340 --> 00:26:19,560
I'm in the process of fixing up that 100 year old house.

283
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:38,100
Yes, it was just not very often that we get an opportunity to purchase land that's right near one of our properties that's frankly where we're out of room.

284
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:45,100
And this is an opportunity and if you're talking about something aesthetically pleasing, it looks terrible over there.

285
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:51,560
So anything, anything that goes and there's even if it's the extension of the graveyard's going to look better than it does now, that's terrible.

286
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:54,620
It had yet cleaned up either way.

287
00:26:54,820 --> 00:26:55,600
And it's been like that.

288
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,060
Like said, for 20 years.

289
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,280
A lot of this stuff has been carted off and cleaned up.

290
00:27:02,740 --> 00:27:06,880
It doesn't have any junk cars on it, for example, when it did.

291
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:14,480
that the only thing that's left and that I can think of is that remnant of the garage,

292
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:21,840
but I'm sure that it gets torn down in short order if whether the county buys it or not.

293
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:33,220
So I would recommend that in either way, even if you do go ahead with it, you need to think

294
00:27:33,220 --> 00:27:38,100
about a new location for a new cemetery because you are running out of room as you

295
00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:47,820
as everybody's aware of and there just isn't any place to expand to unless you were I don't know

296
00:27:47,820 --> 00:27:53,400
going to buy out the trailer park or you're going to start condemning perfectly good homes that

297
00:27:53,400 --> 00:28:03,940
people are currently living in. So question for staff so as far as it's a point three cube acre

298
00:28:06,460 --> 00:28:13,640
So, time lives, what do you see being, how long could it be utilized before we happen to grow again?

299
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:19,020
And then what is the vision of staff and how we're going to beautify that and make it look nice?

300
00:28:19,620 --> 00:28:25,820
Does that include a sort of any privacy wall that would divide for existing property owners live and the cemetery?

301
00:28:26,580 --> 00:28:30,080
Could you share the commission kind of like what we kind of looked at?

302
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,680
the history first so we reached out to Andy Clark 10 years ago asking to try to purchase

303
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,760
the property from him to expand the cemetery because we've seen some of this coming. One

304
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,820
thing that the Land of County has going for a lot of the county's known as we don't take any

305
00:28:42,820 --> 00:28:48,080
migrants so everybody who's buried in the cemetery there is the Land of County resident.

306
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:57,420
So you don't need a great expansion to create a pretty good portion of time if that makes sense.

307
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:03,380
At the time, Mr. Clark didn't want it more than what the appraise value was in the county

308
00:29:03,380 --> 00:29:06,700
couldn't pay more and that's why we never did make any deal there and we never could make

309
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:08,700
a land swap or anything else that would fit.

310
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,740
So ever since then, we've been looking for any piece of property of joining to your close

311
00:29:13,740 --> 00:29:18,700
to the cemetery to try to expand on in any way, shape, or form is what we would do with this

312
00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:23,040
is probably expand the fence that we currently have, just with the same pillars, same, same

313
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,220
brought iron fence and encompassed the Larry there to create some more plots.

314
00:29:28,220 --> 00:29:29,980
That's the thought process behind it.

315
00:29:30,140 --> 00:29:35,860
And the one that Mr. Chapar is referring to with the old foundation there,

316
00:29:35,980 --> 00:29:38,500
I believe it may have been for a mobile home, it may have been for a stick built up.

317
00:29:38,580 --> 00:29:40,040
I'm not sure, but they're just a foundation there.

318
00:29:41,180 --> 00:29:42,540
We've inquired on that as well.

319
00:29:43,540 --> 00:29:49,080
So we get that whole corner there, and it would almost double the life of our cemetery that we have currently.

320
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:59,880
Another thing is when we do the mobile harvest in the food distribution, there's cars that are backed up all the way in through the cemetery, and if we were to clear that

321
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,960
And for this parcel, I'm not saying this is what we could use it for, but we could get all that line of cars that just park in the cemetery so they could have access to the FCC building.

322
00:30:10,740 --> 00:30:26,980
Maybe this piece of property, maybe it's not exclusively just where people are buried, but it's something that we maybe we could get all those people out of the cemetery because I couldn't imagine having to wait for food and be parked inside a cemetery for two hours.

323
00:30:26,980 --> 00:30:31,540
You know, it's, I'm one of the, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's wearing on the cemetery.

324
00:30:31,740 --> 00:30:38,780
There's, there's, you know, so if we could give another, I'm not saying that that's what this property could be used for, but it's another option.

325
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:43,840
I mean, it's, we got to do something, we can't just have people backed up into the cemetery for two hours.

326
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,120
Well, I don't know what to tell you about that.

327
00:30:47,420 --> 00:30:49,260
They, they didn't use it.

328
00:30:49,260 --> 00:30:52,760
And I know they part, you see, they went in a different way before.

329
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,040
or they were jamming up the streets.

330
00:30:56,900 --> 00:30:59,340
And I think they got complaints about that.

331
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,000
So that's why they came up with that particular solution.

332
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,000
But that was only like two years ago, I think,

333
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:09,520
that they changed two or three, hasn't been very long.

334
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:11,520
Okay.

335
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,960
Mr. Chair, if I may, I can follow up.

336
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,960
Deputy District Attorney for the Record.

337
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,760
Because of Mr. Chaper's personal interest or position on this matter,

338
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:30,400
as he previously disclosed, he's asked that I, who've had no conversations with him regarding his position,

339
00:31:31,140 --> 00:31:39,100
provide any assistance in, if the board or staff have any legal questions on this item.

340
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,660
I'm here to assist you with that.

341
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:41,200
Thank you, Mike.

342
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,260
Does the commission have any further questions or comments on this item?

343
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:54,980
I'm just going to say it isn't that quiet over there, just for the record, I know they're pretty often and you've got the road and so I mean, that doesn't have any

344
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,000
reasoning here.

345
00:31:57,300 --> 00:32:01,040
Okay. Just public having any questions or comments on the item.

346
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,440
Okay, I'll hear a motion.

347
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,740
A motion to approve or seeing a land at 3.5 south means to be just presented.

348
00:32:10,940 --> 00:32:14,480
Second. Okay, we have a motion to approve and seconded. All in favor say aye.

349
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:14,660
Okay.

350
00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:14,960
Okay.

351
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,280
All right.

352
00:32:17,340 --> 00:32:17,640
Moving on.

353
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:18,440
1.6.

354
00:32:18,620 --> 00:32:23,120
For discussion and possible action to prove this, prove the interlocal agreement for air medical

355
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:28,040
transportation services between Latter County and Guardian, like LLC, DBA, REACH, Air Medical

356
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:35,680
Services to offer emergency air medical services 24 hours 365 days a year for critically ill

357
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,720
or injured patients.

358
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:43,280
This agreement will commence on the 13th day of August 2026 and end on the 30th day of August

359
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:48,020
2027. Morning, gentlemen. Good morning, commission. My car is for the record Landercount EMS.

360
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,080
For the record, Wiley Little, reach our medical services and guard you in place.

361
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:59,230
All right. Do the commission have any questions? Is this battle mountain only, or is this going

362
00:32:59,230 --> 00:33:04,950
to be Austin Kingston also? This is for all of Landercount EMS, so

363
00:33:07,670 --> 00:33:08,710
it will be stationed

364
00:33:08,710 --> 00:33:14,730
in Battle Mountain, but it will be servicing the whole county. So if the EMS now calls out,

365
00:33:14,730 --> 00:33:19,990
You guys will be the ones that will pick up our people out there at the airport.

366
00:33:20,590 --> 00:33:20,750
Correct.

367
00:33:21,210 --> 00:33:25,610
Okay, and you're going to take them to Reno or Elco or the nearest appropriate facility.

368
00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:31,710
So this aircraft can go Reno, Elco, Salt Lake, Vegas, Boise, even in the California where

369
00:33:31,710 --> 00:33:32,670
our location needs to go.

370
00:33:32,730 --> 00:33:33,690
This aircraft can get them there.

371
00:33:34,350 --> 00:33:35,070
It's a fixed way.

372
00:33:35,390 --> 00:33:35,530
It's a fixed way.

373
00:33:36,070 --> 00:33:36,610
It's a fixed way.

374
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:37,410
It's a fixed way.

375
00:33:37,590 --> 00:33:37,830
Okay.

376
00:33:39,980 --> 00:33:42,320
Any other questions for these gentlemen?

377
00:33:43,740 --> 00:33:44,300
So

378
00:33:46,670 --> 00:33:53,590
if it's fixed wing, does that change the ability of service?

379
00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:59,910
I mean, is it some that will be helicopter to hospital direct?

380
00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:03,810
Does it limit your ability to provide service?

381
00:34:04,130 --> 00:34:07,350
Is that you're only going to be set fixed wing for transport?

382
00:34:08,250 --> 00:34:10,050
It seems like the helicopter comes in.

383
00:34:10,690 --> 00:34:12,070
You said it's airplane, right?

384
00:34:14,410 --> 00:34:20,490
We do have a helicopter out of Elco as well, but that would be the primary asset for Liner County, would be the fixed wing.

385
00:34:21,290 --> 00:34:32,970
Really, with where we're at in the state and the weather we get, we believe the fixed wing is actually the better option for the residents of Liner County with the IFR capabilities and the speed.

386
00:34:33,690 --> 00:34:41,730
By the time you have the helicopter getting to Reno or Salt Lake, they go so substantially slower that the fixing will beat them there.

387
00:34:41,730 --> 00:34:46,510
Even if you do have a little bit of a ground component between Landry County EMS and us

388
00:34:47,110 --> 00:34:50,050
So we believe that's the correct error. Okay, any

389
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,640
other questions item 1.6

390
00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:59,900
Motion to approve the

391
00:35:00,210 --> 00:35:06,270
In a local agreement for error medical transportation services between Landord County and GuardianFlight LLC.

392
00:35:06,770 --> 00:35:10,390
I'll second. Okay, we have a motion, and a second. All in favor say aye.

393
00:35:10,670 --> 00:35:14,250
All right, thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, commission. Real quick, I want to thank

394
00:35:14,250 --> 00:35:19,710
Gold Mountain Aviation, because they put a ton of work in to help bring these guys in. I want to

395
00:35:19,710 --> 00:35:25,330
thank Reach and Alabama General, who also worked with us to bring this asset, and it's going to be a good thing for the county. Thank you.

396
00:35:25,330 --> 00:35:26,050
Thank you.

397
00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:26,710
Thank you for having us.

398
00:35:27,290 --> 00:35:27,450
All

399
00:35:30,230 --> 00:35:30,410
right.

400
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:32,890
Moving on to 1.7.

401
00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:37,150
For discussion and possible action to approve this approved the Landry County Community

402
00:35:37,690 --> 00:35:41,290
wildfire protection plan, CWPP for 2026.

403
00:35:44,070 --> 00:35:44,210
All right.

404
00:35:44,350 --> 00:35:47,870
Anybody have any discussion on this item?

405
00:35:49,210 --> 00:35:49,450
No.

406
00:35:49,630 --> 00:35:55,990
I'd just like to thank Lewis from RCI for all his work in Jordan, Elder, and everybody that's

407
00:35:55,990 --> 00:35:56,630
worked on this.

408
00:35:56,630 --> 00:36:07,510
It's been a very good collaborative effort and I think a lot of good ideas went into this and I'd just like to thank Lewis for that.

409
00:36:07,630 --> 00:36:09,350
Okay. All right.

410
00:36:09,590 --> 00:36:11,990
Does the public have any questions or comments on the item?

411
00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:14,250
Are you going to give us a brief overview?

412
00:36:15,930 --> 00:36:16,810
Yeah, absolutely.

413
00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:18,650
That way the public knows.

414
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:22,820
I didn't see it back there.

415
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,180
Good morning.

416
00:36:24,180 --> 00:36:25,600
Stand low profile.

417
00:36:30,030 --> 00:36:35,490
I'm Lewis Mendai for the record with resource concept. I'll try to get my PowerPoint up here.

418
00:37:00,070 --> 00:37:05,830
Thank you all for your time today. As I said my name is Lewis Mendai. I work for resource concepts

419
00:37:05,830 --> 00:37:11,710
we're hired by the county to update the Lander County Community Wildfire Protection Plan.

420
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:20,880
The Community Wildfire Protection Plan or CWPP is a non-regulatory plan

421
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:30,100
It was developed collaboratively to assess wildfire risk throughout the county and also

422
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:33,760
develop recommendations to reduce that risk where possible.

423
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:41,660
The biggest benefit of this plan is recommendations and projects that are included in it have a

424
00:37:41,660 --> 00:37:48,900
lot higher probability of being selected in grant applications in the future for implementation.

425
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:49,960
We

426
00:37:53,860 --> 00:38:00,160
started work on this project early part of last year and the first thing we did was

427
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:09,460
form a core team made up of county, state, and federal wildfire managers and stakeholders.

428
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:17,440
We met multiple times with the core team and the public to determine what communities

429
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:25,100
we're going to be assessed. The results of those assessments, recommendations, and we also took

430
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:32,260
a comment from the core team and the public on those recommendations and assessments.

431
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:44,340
This is just a broad overview of our process over the duration of the project.

432
00:38:47,380 --> 00:38:48,400
We're here at the

433
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:53,040
The core team has been a huge part of the development of this plan and we appreciate

434
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,480
everybody that's participated in it.

435
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:02,260
The public also provided us lots of good input that we're able to incorporate into the

436
00:39:02,260 --> 00:39:07,640
plan through a series of meetings that were hosted in Battle Mountain, Austin, and Kingston.

437
00:39:11,870 --> 00:39:13,790
So what do the assessments look like?

438
00:39:13,790 --> 00:39:19,730
this is a broad overview of the three main pillars that we looked at in each

439
00:39:19,730 --> 00:39:25,730
community, first paying suppression. So what water resources are available to

440
00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:33,470
community response times, the first responders, and that thing, then environmental

441
00:39:33,470 --> 00:39:38,450
surroundings. What are surrounding fuels to that community? Are there fuels within

442
00:39:38,450 --> 00:39:41,310
in the community that are likely to

443
00:39:42,470 --> 00:39:47,070
to ignite or facilitate fire spread throughout a community,

444
00:39:47,850 --> 00:39:48,650
and then structures.

445
00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:51,310
What is the typical structure made out of,

446
00:39:51,590 --> 00:39:55,310
our buildings made out of non-combustible roofing,

447
00:39:55,570 --> 00:39:56,950
inciting materials overall,

448
00:39:57,330 --> 00:39:59,410
and are there opportunities to

449
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,120
In

450
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:12,960
total, we assessed 17 different communities throughout the county, each with varying levels

451
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:20,840
of wildfire risk. As we're all aware of in this room, there's no such thing as an area

452
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:27,680
that is completely without risk. And from these assessments, we developed two general

453
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:32,160
types of recommendations. Site specific and county-wide.

454
00:40:34,290 --> 00:40:35,570
Site specific

455
00:40:35,570 --> 00:40:45,570
recommendations include fuel breaks, fuel thinnings, post-fighter rehab, evacuation

456
00:40:45,570 --> 00:40:52,090
plan updates were needed, and VFD member training were needed,

457
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,220
and I'd be happy

458
00:40:55,220 --> 00:40:58,120
go over any of these specifically as well.

459
00:40:59,420 --> 00:41:04,180
And countywide recommendations apply to all of lander.

460
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:09,840
The first recommendation we have is a county wildland fire coordinator.

461
00:41:10,220 --> 00:41:16,840
Just to be clear, this position is not intended to override BFD chiefs or their authority.

462
00:41:17,820 --> 00:41:22,860
It is intended to help secure grant funding,

463
00:41:22,860 --> 00:41:32,240
see that fuels reduction and hazard reduction projects are implemented and followed through with

464
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:42,420
and also help VFDs get the training and regular support that they need. The next recommendation

465
00:41:42,420 --> 00:41:50,520
countywide communications improvement for more reliable radio communications and this also includes

466
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:58,080
back up power for select sites in the county for wildland fire responders and first responders overall.

467
00:41:59,660 --> 00:42:03,580
Defensible space, education and implementation assistance.

468
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:12,360
This recommendation is modeled off of previous projects that Nevada Division of Forestry is done

469
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:18,400
elsewhere throughout the state. Essentially they work with private property owners and those

470
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:24,960
Those that are willing to participate, they improve their defensible space and provide

471
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:32,480
educational resources for how individual residents can continue defensible space around

472
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,640
their homes and structures.

473
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:43,880
We're also recommending annual meeting, pre-fire season meeting with counties, state, and federal

474
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:54,800
wildfire agencies so that capabilities can be reviewed, the CWPP can be reviewed,

475
00:42:55,120 --> 00:43:03,680
different projects can be reviewed and everybody can work together cohesively.

476
00:43:05,340 --> 00:43:15,100
Another recommendation that we developed is forming formal relationships with agricultural

477
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:21,560
producers that have irrigation wells in rural parts of the county where there's not

478
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,580
water sources available for fire suppression now.

479
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:34,600
For willing participants, wells would be fitted with fittings that are usable by a wildland

480
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:44,400
fire resources, and it's also possible that select wells could be fitted to use mobile

481
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:51,360
generators in the event that the power grid is down during a wildfire.

482
00:43:53,360 --> 00:44:03,160
The next recommendation is the basics of defenseable space that any resident can use on their property.

483
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:10,620
We also have some recommendations for fire rehab, what you do after the fire,

484
00:44:11,020 --> 00:44:18,340
and support the receding of desirable perennial fire resistant species.

485
00:44:18,340 --> 00:44:27,360
And then the ready set go evacuation communication system.

486
00:44:27,540 --> 00:44:41,020
A lot of you have probably seen that on recent fires, but ready set go is a terminology used to effectively communicate between

487
00:44:43,770 --> 00:44:46,610
first responders and residents.

488
00:44:46,610 --> 00:44:55,370
So if you're in an area where a fire is burning and it's likely that it's it's going to

489
00:44:56,410 --> 00:44:59,930
create the need to evacuate ready

490
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,540
We set go, allows residents to know that it's coming before, before it's heard.

491
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:34,040
There's a lot of activity that has already been occurring in Lander County and none of these recommendations are meant to override those. A big part of the CWPP is supporting current actions and expanding those if there's a need in the future. Over the past 16 years, there's been over two

492
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:39,160
200,000 acres of wildfire-related projects that have already occurred.

493
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:50,080
The CWPP supports the re-treatment and maintenance of previous projects, and NV Energy continues

494
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:56,020
to do field reduction work along their energy corridors to date.

495
00:45:56,020 --> 00:46:03,040
this year alone, NV Energy is completed about 65 miles of that corridor fuels

496
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,620
reduction with plans to do more in the future.

497
00:46:07,740 --> 00:46:10,320
Programs like Fire Adapted

498
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:18,380
Nevada and Firewise USA are supported in the CWPP. Firewise chapters have started

499
00:46:18,380 --> 00:46:23,040
to form in Battle Mountain Kingston and Austin already. They're in the early

500
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:30,540
stages of that and this CWPP wants to make it clear that those grass roots lead programs

501
00:46:30,540 --> 00:46:38,200
are really vital to protecting properties and individuals.

502
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:47,160
The Lander County beautification program is another great program that we hope to see

503
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:54,020
be perpetuated into the future and the Lander County Conservation District Equipment

504
00:46:54,020 --> 00:46:59,520
Rental Program and Herbicide Cost Share Program is another great way for residents

505
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,940
to create and maintain defensible space on their private properties.

506
00:47:05,780 --> 00:47:12,040
BLM and Forest Service also has a series of programmatic documents that can be used going

507
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:19,100
into the future for more landscape level fuel reduction projects that we hope to seek

508
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:25,680
carried forward and we just want to make those well known to the public so those are resources

509
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,520
that can be used on federal lands.

510
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:42,020
Then Nevada Shared Stewardship Group is a group with Nevada Division of Forestry and the

511
00:47:42,020 --> 00:47:46,880
field reduction projects as well and within Lander County there's a specific

512
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:52,620
working group based in a range working group that that most of it is within

513
00:47:52,620 --> 00:47:57,740
the county and that's another resource for future wildfire mitigation work.

514
00:48:01,380 --> 00:48:05,760
It's been a pleasure working with Lander County and I'd be happy to take any

515
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:11,280
questions that there may be on the plan. Okay well thank you for that. Any questions?

516
00:48:13,540 --> 00:48:20,960
Okay. Well thanks again. Thank you. And I will hear it motion. Make a motion to approve

517
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,540
the Lander County Community Wildfire Protection Plan for 2026.

518
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:26,580
Okay, we have a motion.

519
00:48:26,820 --> 00:48:27,040
Second.

520
00:48:27,340 --> 00:48:28,480
And a second. All in favor say aye.

521
00:48:28,740 --> 00:48:28,900
Aye.

522
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:30,080
Thank you.

523
00:48:30,540 --> 00:48:30,980
Thank you.

524
00:48:32,860 --> 00:48:37,000
Okay, 1.8. For discussion and possible actions, you're approved to approve the county paying

525
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:42,300
the referees for the battle mount use pickle and cheer 2026 season we

526
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:45,400
can

527
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:50,860
select for the record I'm here representing the board as a treasure so I just

528
00:48:50,860 --> 00:48:56,640
wanted to disclose that not as the comptroller what are they expected peace so we

529
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:02,040
didn't put a mouth on it because it varies every home games the first weekend we

530
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,740
paid 2,800 this last weekend we only paid 1,800 because we had less gains and we

531
00:49:06,740 --> 00:49:09,580
were in one location is set up to who's

532
00:49:11,720 --> 00:49:16,590
currently paying for the board and where are they getting

533
00:49:16,590 --> 00:49:22,510
the finances from so we have had a little extra because we did retouch some of the mines and

534
00:49:22,510 --> 00:49:28,750
we just got a 5,000 from Miracle I believe but we had to purchase all new helmets this year

535
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:35,890
and we created a new board and our part of pop Warner as well so we had some additional fees

536
00:49:35,890 --> 00:49:40,130
kind of starting from scratch as you have to use the volunteer.

537
00:49:41,610 --> 00:49:46,330
I can just pop one or require you guys to have paid referees, I know they used to pay

538
00:49:46,330 --> 00:49:49,270
the high school kids to come out and do it so do they, is that something they require?

539
00:49:50,030 --> 00:49:55,710
They don't require it but they have to be trained they're a little more strict on it and

540
00:49:55,710 --> 00:49:58,150
And I believe that we're having problems

541
00:49:58,150 --> 00:49:59,970
like getting people to...

542
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:29,900
be available to ref. So it was easier to have pop order provide them. And then they're trained, and they're, uh, by pop order. And they have, they're like certified and all of that. And they paid for them to come. So, is there an amount you guys have asked? I mean, that's what my question is. Usually we have something. Well, that's the, that's what I was going to suggest is that I mean, I'm always in support of me to supporting our community and, and our children are youth and, uh, but I don't like an open-ended amount. So we could as a board, uh, put us

543
00:50:29,900 --> 00:50:31,940
It's a specified amount, whatever that amount may be.

544
00:50:31,940 --> 00:50:33,400
How many more home games do you guys have?

545
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,180
I believe we have two more.

546
00:50:36,380 --> 00:50:36,520
Two.

547
00:50:36,860 --> 00:50:39,100
So that's probably going to be two weekends.

548
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:39,860
Thank you.

549
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,340
Kayla's on the phone.

550
00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:42,060
Kayla, do you want it?

551
00:50:42,180 --> 00:50:44,300
Sorry, the Kayla knows that for the record, sorry, Lincoln.

552
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:47,320
So I'd say no more than 5,000 in, right?

553
00:50:47,900 --> 00:50:48,080
If you can.

554
00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:50,640
So are you expecting us to pay the past ones also

555
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,760
or just the ones coming up in the next two weekends?

556
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,700
Whenever you guys are willing to give us,

557
00:50:55,740 --> 00:50:57,740
we would be grateful for.

558
00:50:58,580 --> 00:50:59,480
I've got a longer person.

559
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,740
have the fees went up this year for those kids because cost of went up so the

560
00:51:03,740 --> 00:51:09,080
football was more this year because they got more stuff they got a home and

561
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:14,780
in a way they got double bags they got more equipment okay the chair was

562
00:51:14,780 --> 00:51:17,420
cheaper than it has been in the past

563
00:51:19,470 --> 00:51:21,990
you know what what was it last year you know

564
00:51:21,990 --> 00:51:27,090
when they signed up for football yet there was a hundred I believe and the

565
00:51:27,090 --> 00:51:34,010
year was 200 and then the cheer used to run like 4 to 500 and this year it was I believe

566
00:51:34,010 --> 00:51:39,250
200 as well. So that's good things went down that's good. What have you done for fundraising?

567
00:51:40,270 --> 00:51:45,230
They did a couple weekends ago did do a car wash and all the kids came and participated out

568
00:51:45,230 --> 00:51:54,460
food town right now. Kayla you can correct me if I'm wrong but we were doing we were going to do a

569
00:51:54,460 --> 00:52:04,280
fill your helmet and pom-pom fundraiser as well. I don't know. I started that. I believe we still plan to do that. We just haven't set it up yet.

570
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:15,700
And what is that? It's like a sheet and it looks like a bubble helmet and they have certain donation amounts that people can donate and the kids have to go around and get family members and friends to donate.

571
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,940
And have you been soliciting local businesses' minds?

572
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,640
We have put in with the minds, yes, we did.

573
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:25,560
What about local businesses?

574
00:52:26,420 --> 00:52:27,180
Because that's the idea.

575
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:28,020
Okay.

576
00:52:28,460 --> 00:52:28,600
Yes.

577
00:52:29,220 --> 00:52:33,120
Before the league, before we started the season from

578
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,000
all of the businesses in town, and we

579
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:45,620
had a tier program, so it was like three different amounts, this amount was, I think, silver,

580
00:52:45,620 --> 00:52:53,760
bronze and then gold and then we actually have the businesses that donated to us in the gold

581
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,980
amount. We have banners that were made for the not willing on the fence at our home games.

582
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,880
How is your response to that with the local business?

583
00:53:03,900 --> 00:53:11,240
I see quite a bit of fun but like Blake said we had to buy all new helmets this season and it was

584
00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:12,740
It was supposed to $1,000.

585
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:15,160
It was a lot.

586
00:53:17,460 --> 00:53:22,640
How much funds do we have in our grant funding right now for these types of things?

587
00:53:22,860 --> 00:53:26,860
We don't have any more in the miscellaneous grants.

588
00:53:27,140 --> 00:53:32,260
So this would come out of potentially the events line in the rec center budget.

589
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,240
But we would have to take it out of a different like line items somewhere.

590
00:53:37,100 --> 00:53:37,620
Okay.

591
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:37,940
Okay.

592
00:53:38,020 --> 00:53:38,880
I'd like to comment on this.

593
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:39,360
Yes, please.

594
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:41,720
Tom Kerkowski.

595
00:53:44,260 --> 00:53:48,920
Volunteerism is basically not existent anymore, you know, and so if we can keep this program

596
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:55,320
going forward through sponsoring and helping out with the referee program, I understand, you

597
00:53:55,320 --> 00:54:01,180
know, that they do fundraisers, they've tried everything they can, but to keep this program

598
00:54:01,180 --> 00:54:05,840
available and going for the youth it's you know volunteerism like I say is

599
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:11,460
about non-existent so paying the referees to keep them there it's an awesome

600
00:54:11,460 --> 00:54:19,900
program I think I do yeah thank you all right so yeah there's if we have two more

601
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:23,120
games two more home games and you're seeing how

602
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,080
many breaths do you have at each

603
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:47,140
and when you pay him.

604
00:55:01,620 --> 00:55:03,200
And less

605
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,380
depending on their age and their experience.

606
00:55:22,900 --> 00:55:24,920
So on an average, where are they paying the ref?

607
00:55:27,950 --> 00:55:28,490
Thank you.

608
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,360
How many games do you have last weekend? We have four. Okay.

609
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:45,460
Okay. Awesome.

610
00:56:00,110 --> 00:56:02,410
And we're kind of down in numbers, too. Aren't we for these kids?

611
00:56:02,410 --> 00:56:03,090
one

612
00:56:23,540 --> 00:56:31,980
underneath and got paid $434 and then the other two got paid $350 each. Yeah and I

613
00:56:31,980 --> 00:56:37,020
just did an average so when you're six you're six when you had six it was about $466 per

614
00:56:37,020 --> 00:56:42,620
ref the one you had four it's about $450 per ref and I think they charged us for travel too right

615
00:56:42,620 --> 00:56:48,920
Kayla? They do. Yes they do. That's kind of a rack it isn't it you send their refs and we charge

616
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:49,460
do you throw that?

617
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:55,000
It has been really nice to have roughs out there that know what you're doing and they're

618
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:55,340
trained.

619
00:56:56,620 --> 00:56:56,840
Okay.

620
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,080
So what would you like?

621
00:56:58,260 --> 00:56:58,620
What's that?

622
00:56:58,720 --> 00:56:58,860
Okay.

623
00:56:59,180 --> 00:57:04,940
So for the next two weekends, if you could put a number on that for the next two weekends

624
00:57:04,940 --> 00:57:10,380
to get you through the 2026 season, are you talking between $5,600 and $6,000?

625
00:57:11,420 --> 00:57:11,940
Yes.

626
00:57:12,620 --> 00:57:13,000
Okay.

627
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:22,120
So where I'm at is definitely we have to keep the program going, the numbers are down.

628
00:57:23,300 --> 00:57:25,360
I realize you guys are a new board coming in.

629
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:31,060
I had it for 14 years, the fees are shocking.

630
00:57:33,740 --> 00:57:38,900
But I think at a point being for using money that is the people's.

631
00:57:40,660 --> 00:57:45,280
We cut the belt buckles and trophies and stuff out through the past.

632
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:53,640
I'm fined, it's important, because we got to keep it going, and I love home games, because it does bring people to town, and they do go eat and everything else.

633
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,160
I know, and I've done it for 14, I have to leave for 14 years.

634
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:04,580
As far as going forward, I think the requests need to be based more towards, we need to be part of the helmets and the safety.

635
00:58:04,580 --> 00:58:10,860
We've supported every youth group that came in here to do that, something that pays back and gives a little bit of time to the kids.

636
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:18,240
I'd like to see going forward also that maybe the meeting set with the incoming kids.

637
00:58:18,540 --> 00:58:32,920
We can, you know, pay that rate of incoming head official for the ease of the rules and that to make sure our kids are included and have the opportunity to where we would pay, you know, maybe pay for the training for them to be part of it.

638
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,960
and give them an opportunity to become jobs and everything else.

639
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:45,580
But after this going forward, like I said, it gives you guys another year to get your feet on the ground.

640
00:58:46,980 --> 00:58:50,000
More towards off of the referee pay in that.

641
00:58:50,480 --> 00:59:00,400
To me, that's just like a trophy, but money for safety, definitely safety equipment is something that that's what the grounds are for.

642
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:05,260
we plan on coming. No, you're okay. You're

643
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:11,200
okay, go ahead.

644
00:59:24,250 --> 00:59:41,970
That was because grant funding was going. Oh, okay, okay, okay, but you guys will be able to be prepared. Yeah, too, too. We're that's available. I mean, that's I like that. I do like that. And definitely we need to support the youth.

645
00:59:41,970 --> 00:59:42,310
Yes.

646
00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:43,510
Okay.

647
00:59:45,420 --> 00:59:45,960
That was a question.

648
00:59:46,220 --> 00:59:46,760
What do you like to do?

649
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:48,500
What do you think of 56 are?

650
00:59:49,300 --> 00:59:49,940
Does that make sense?

651
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:50,440
I see.

652
00:59:50,820 --> 00:59:52,680
I mean, I see about 5,500.

653
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,860
That's pretty game close going to cover on my thing, isn't it?

654
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:56,780
For the next 20.

655
00:59:56,780 --> 00:59:57,220
Maybe 20.

656
01:00:05,010 --> 01:00:23,930
So this will fall under the guidelines of grant, so you'll all financials and all that stuff. Yeah, we'll just pay the refs directly. We'll just pay popcorn or directly the county one. Okay, but those funds are tracked with receipts and are accountable to you, right? Yes. Okay. Do you guys have your, is it the 401c? We carry that. Okay.

657
01:00:26,870 --> 01:00:36,230
I'm motion to approve paying that on the Mountain Youth Football League, correct? And cheer. And cheer.

658
01:00:52,450 --> 01:00:58,830
I just want to give you guys a comment. It looks like those cheerleaders are conditioned way better than those football players.

659
01:00:58,830 --> 01:01:03,230
I'm just going to say, I watched in the other day in way more

660
01:01:03,230 --> 01:01:03,610
conditions.

661
01:01:21,260 --> 01:01:24,180
Well, I'm just hoping many of those coaches who listen and they run those boys a little

662
01:01:24,180 --> 01:01:24,400
more.

663
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:24,980
They need it.

664
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:30,760
I'm going to say my grandson's going to like that, but they need you.

665
01:01:32,260 --> 01:01:34,160
Thank you, thank you.

666
01:01:34,580 --> 01:01:37,640
We're going to take that ten minute break.

667
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,520

685
01:03:48,980 --> 01:03:55,480

686
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,760
All right, 1.9. So, yes sir.

687
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:04,960
Good morning, county commissioners office ladies and gentlemen, my name is both server

688
01:04:07,340 --> 01:04:08,860
Never done this before so

689
01:04:09,340 --> 01:04:12,440
Bear with me. I wrote you guys little statement

690
01:04:13,620 --> 01:04:19,240
And it just reads this follows. Good morning commission commissioners. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today

691
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:27,000
My purpose of battle mountain golf course is straightforward. I'm here to train the staff here to establish effective procedures and to share the knowledge

692
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,420
that I have gained during my 15-plus years in the Gulf

693
01:04:29,420 --> 01:04:29,920
industry.

694
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,140
I'm not here to take over the golf course

695
01:04:32,140 --> 01:04:34,640
or replace the people responsible for operating them.

696
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,200
The county remains, or the county maintains control

697
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,520
of the property, and the staff remains responsible

698
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:41,420
for the daily work.

699
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,100
My role is to support them to help the employees understand

700
01:04:45,100 --> 01:04:47,500
what needs to be done, why it matters,

701
01:04:47,780 --> 01:04:49,040
and how to perform consistently.

702
01:04:50,580 --> 01:04:55,260
The long-term success of this property should not depend

703
01:04:55,260 --> 01:04:59,960
on one person. It should come from a train staff clearly to find a solution.

704
01:05:05,740 --> 01:05:28,360
I'm a former member of the PGA of America with a degree in golf complex operations, the management, business, and marketing. Throughout my career, I have worked nearly every type of golf facility. From the exclusive private clubs with $250,000 initiation fees, public courses, municipal courses, and even city owned courses. Every property operated differently, but the success ones shares.

705
01:05:29,180 --> 01:05:34,100
There's several, sorry, but the successful ones shared several qualities.

706
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,120
Employees understood their responsibilities.

707
01:05:36,740 --> 01:05:38,220
Procedures were clearly communicated.

708
01:05:39,020 --> 01:05:44,320
Problems were documented, and the leadership gave the staff knowledge and resources necessary

709
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:44,980
to succeed.

710
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,740
This is the experience I bring to Lanark County.

711
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,600
Since arriving in Battle Mountain, I've worked alongside the maintenance staff, county

712
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:57,960
employees, contractors, engineers, irrigation representatives, and agronomic vendors.

713
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:04,520
I have taken the time to understand this property, including the established nine, and construction

714
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,200
of and growing of the new nine.

715
01:06:06,620 --> 01:06:10,600
The irrigation system, the equipment, the turf conditions, and the challenges the staff

716
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:11,460
faces every day.

717
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:16,200
The knowledge allows me to provide training specifically designed for this golf course.

718
01:06:16,820 --> 01:06:21,420
I'm not handling, I'm not handing employees a generic maintenance program.

719
01:06:21,420 --> 01:06:28,680
I'm helping develop procedures based on battle mountains actual turf, water system, equipment, staffing, climate, and

720
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:35,760
Operating needs. My work includes helping the staff understand irrigation problems, sprinkler performance, water distribution,

721
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:41,820
moisture management, mowing and rolling practices, fertilizing, wetting agents, equipment care,

722
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:44,660
course inspections and

723
01:06:44,660 --> 01:06:49,280
establishment of the new turf. More importantly, I'm explaining the reasoning behind those practices.

724
01:06:50,220 --> 01:06:56,060
Employees perform better when they understand the procedure, why the procedure matters.

725
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:02,300
They begin recognizing warning signs earlier, they make better decisions in the field, they

726
01:07:02,300 --> 01:07:07,420
communicate problems before the problems become expensive, or expensive, and they take

727
01:07:07,420 --> 01:07:08,900
greater ownership of their property.

728
01:07:09,820 --> 01:07:12,280
That is the real value of training.

729
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:19,100
I also want to help establish written procedures that create consistency.

730
01:07:19,100 --> 01:07:24,680
The course should have clear expectations from daily maintenance, irrigation adjustments,

731
01:07:25,020 --> 01:07:30,040
equipment inspections, staff assignments, turf monitoring, documentation and communication.

732
01:07:30,940 --> 01:07:33,920
Those procedures protect the county in several ways.

733
01:07:34,820 --> 01:07:39,360
They reduce preventable mistakes, preventable mistakes, improve accountability, make training

734
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:43,860
new employees easier, and preserve important knowledge within the organization.

735
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:51,160
The goal is not, the goal is not for the staff to depend on me and definitely the goal is for the staff to become increasingly

736
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:58,000
knowledgeable, confident and self-sufficient because the time, because of the time we work together.

737
01:07:59,100 --> 01:08:05,680
My experience, it's under it that showed me what can happen when employees are given a clear plan and consistent support.

738
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:10,800
The property was facing serious challenges with playing conditions.

739
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,780
but by working alongside the maintenance team, improving irrigation and

740
01:08:14,780 --> 01:08:18,400
turf management practices, and establishing stronger daily standards,

741
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,540
we help restore the course from hardship, from hardship conditions.

742
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,560
Its greens eventually became and are now

743
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,220
recognized as some of the best in northern Nevada.

744
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:33,360
That improvement belonged to the team.

745
01:08:33,780 --> 01:08:37,980
My contribution was bringing knowledge, identifying problems, teaching better practices,

746
01:08:37,980 --> 01:08:40,960
is in helping the employees create consistency.

747
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,360
My experience at Eagle Valley is also directly relevant.

748
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,640
Eagle Valley was a city on golf course with a large staff

749
01:08:48,250 --> 01:08:51,220
demanding schedule on the significant public responsibilities.

750
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:57,280
I learned how important it is to respect,

751
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,920
establish procedures, purchasing requirements, budgets,

752
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,400
reporting structures, and the chain of command.

753
01:09:03,940 --> 01:09:06,340
I understand that working with the county requires

754
01:09:06,340 --> 01:09:20,180
communication and accountability recommendations must be explained clearly concern should be documented county leadership should remain informed and employees should understand how the how their work supports the large public investment.

755
01:09:20,660 --> 01:09:36,140
Our professional network is another benefit I bring to the project over the years I have developed strong relationships with superintendents general managers agronomist irrigation specialist contractors vendors manufacturers product representatives and other golf professionals.

756
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:45,700
When a specialized issue arises, I know how to locate the right information and bring the appropriate expert into the conversation.

757
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:54,440
I've also helped the staff develop, I can also help the staff develop those relationships so the county continues benefiting from those resources in the future.

758
01:09:55,260 --> 01:09:58,880
Every property I have been a part of, I have left in a stronger position.

759
01:10:00,460 --> 01:10:29,820
Agronomically, operationally and financially. These results were never achieved by one individual. They were achieved by teams that understood the plan and worked together. Our role has consistently been to identify what is holding an operation back, help create a practical path forward and give employees the knowledge and structure in and to succeed. That is what I want to continue doing for Lander County. I will provide honest observations and practical recommendations.

760
01:10:29,820 --> 01:10:34,500
I will help employees develop their skills and understand this property more

761
01:10:34,500 --> 01:10:38,460
completely. I will work within the counties to establish authority and support

762
01:10:38,460 --> 01:10:41,740
the people responsible for making and carrying out decisions.

763
01:10:42,300 --> 01:10:45,860
My dedication to this project is second to none. I have invested the time

764
01:10:45,860 --> 01:10:51,120
necessary to learn to learn the property, build relationships with the staff and

765
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:56,400
understand the work that remains. I care about the outcome but I also understand

766
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:57,360
and the limits of my role.

767
01:10:58,220 --> 01:11:00,160
I'm here to read, I'm here to teach, support,

768
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,140
and prepare the staff not to take their place.

769
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,180
The best measure of my success

770
01:11:04,180 --> 01:11:06,340
will be whether the employees become stronger,

771
01:11:07,140 --> 01:11:09,240
whether procedures are followed consistently

772
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:12,280
and whether the county is better prepared to operate

773
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,260
and protect the golf course for years to come.

774
01:11:14,740 --> 01:11:16,120
I would appreciate the opportunity

775
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:17,640
to continue sharing my experiences,

776
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:19,400
training staff, and helping Leonard County

777
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:20,380
establish his project.

778
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:25,080
Procedures necessary for this property-long term success.

779
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:26,740
Yes, I thank you for your time on this consideration.

780
01:11:27,100 --> 01:11:27,320
Thank you.

781
01:11:27,540 --> 01:11:27,720
Thank you.

782
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:28,560
All right.

783
01:11:28,740 --> 01:11:30,680
So just a commission having questions on this item.

784
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:38,740
And is just to make sure everybody's clear we're deciding whether this needs to be put out for a press proposal or we find it.

785
01:11:39,620 --> 01:11:44,580
That it is a professional service, which if it is, then we do not need to add for request proposals.

786
01:11:44,580 --> 01:11:52,860
So if we have any questions relating to that of the consultant that's sitting in front of us, then how's the time to ask?

787
01:11:52,860 --> 01:12:09,320
Mr. Server, under the professional services contract, so currently this would be, you know, just in travel alone each week, you know, the $350, so that a little over $18,000, maybe $200 a year, somewhere around there.

788
01:12:10,480 --> 01:12:18,040
So, your long-term plan, if a contract is approved, if my understanding is correct,

789
01:12:18,300 --> 01:12:24,140
is you're in the process of locating to the community, so that travel would be non-existent

790
01:12:24,140 --> 01:12:25,120
possibly in the future?

791
01:12:26,260 --> 01:12:30,360
As of right now, I'm planning on staying in Carson.

792
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:38,880
I mean, from the long, if there was a long-term situation, yes.

793
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:45,740
I mean that's definitely in the in the deck of cards for a year. I would have to say no.

794
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,740
I've got a daughter in Carson. She's in travel sports.

795
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,860
She's got friends. She just started sixth grade. So middle school is fun.

796
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:05,360
But I mean, from a long term standpoint, absolutely, but for the short term of the year, I'll probably stay where I'm at.

797
01:13:06,340 --> 01:13:11,720
So you've got an opportunity to work the course for a little while and see what kind of

798
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:12,560
challenges are ahead.

799
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:17,660
What are you for seeing if some of the maybe the top three challenges of looking ahead

800
01:13:17,660 --> 01:13:22,980
other than the, you know, the, of course, the SOD situation, but what else are you looking

801
01:13:22,980 --> 01:13:23,220
at?

802
01:13:24,460 --> 01:13:24,940
Challenges.

803
01:13:25,260 --> 01:13:30,540
You know, the phrase you can't teach an old dog new trick, so breaking the current golfers

804
01:13:30,540 --> 01:13:33,840
of their existing habits is going to be tough.

805
01:13:35,980 --> 01:13:40,260
Staffing where we're definitely going to need some additional staff to come on board

806
01:13:40,260 --> 01:13:43,820
next year when we get this whole thing up and running consistently.

807
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:51,180
I'm kind of recommending one more maybe full time and then if we can't get maybe three

808
01:13:51,180 --> 01:13:58,560
part time guys, even kids, high school kids are super beneficial for spot watering in the

809
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:04,580
afternoons, doing weed detail, you know, the little mix and grannies that get overlooked

810
01:14:04,580 --> 01:14:10,120
because of your mowing regimens, your watering regimens and, you know, how detail-oriented

811
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:15,340
you have to be with the rest of the property. But, yeah, that'll, when I put everything together

812
01:14:15,340 --> 01:14:22,940
this winter, that'll all be in it. Teaching a golf shop, explaining to them kind of how

813
01:14:22,940 --> 01:14:28,900
18 whole facilities going to run because I think from a playability standpoint you guys are going to have

814
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:35,140
You know people come out here and see your existing nine, which is not a bad nine whatsoever. I kind of enjoy it

815
01:14:35,140 --> 01:14:40,920
But you know, and they're gonna look over next to it and see that nine. I think they're gonna want to loop that night quite a bit more

816
01:14:42,700 --> 01:14:44,740
Because it is beautiful. It is a

817
01:14:46,140 --> 01:14:47,780
It is a really nice property

818
01:14:49,500 --> 01:14:51,940
Very happy to be on board. So thank you guys this far, but

819
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:59,960
You know just how to manage a T-sheet, you know I have to teach the golf shop how to manage a T-sheet.

820
01:15:00,900 --> 01:15:29,960
You know, people are going to have to start making tea times because you're going to be a lot busier. You can't just show up and expect no one to be there anymore. You know, some of the pushback that we get from staff, you know, they, they, they're not there yet, but we'll get there. You know, they're kind of overwhelmed at this point, but they don't see how we're going to do 18 holes. But with 18 holes, it really frees you up. You're not having the same groups loop or pack around.

821
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:47,060
So they're, you know, they're not playing their nine holes and then right back on you, you're progressively staying in front of the play as you have 18 holes, so you're not sitting there and waiting all the time, you know, so it is going to free them up from a mowing standpoint to be a lot more productive in that matter.

822
01:15:47,060 --> 01:15:53,080
Okay, and one other concern I had was the general liability insurance so on the on the current contract the way it is

823
01:15:54,160 --> 01:16:01,160
That's presented to us. It's no less than in for $100,000. So the yeah

824
01:16:02,660 --> 01:16:07,540
My expectation would be that would be for considerably higher about a million dollars was that I got

825
01:16:07,540 --> 01:16:11,360
We overlooked on our end. It is I got one for a million. Okay. Yeah

826
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:16,260
I don't know how we came up with a hundred thousand dollars. I think it was a tight book

827
01:16:16,260 --> 01:16:23,660
Yeah, because when I talked to the insurance agent, he said the same thing. He said that was extremely weird.

828
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:33,200
But I had been in communication with Sean and even though it had said that, I mean, I haven't seen that for the 100,000, but yeah, I got to know our policy.

829
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:34,680
Thank you. That's all I have.

830
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:44,500
Okay, so I think the first thing, as how it's identified, we need to make a determination to whether our PE work, we find it as a professional services contact.

831
01:16:44,500 --> 01:16:52,160
So basically, I know staff had leaned towards the understanding that this would be a professional service contract.

832
01:16:52,420 --> 01:16:59,300
So in my own reading of the statute, which is 332.115b, in my interpretation of it,

833
01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:04,160
I agree that it would fall under professional advisory, right?

834
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:09,460
And it doesn't constitute a public work or the purchase of ordinary goods or supplies,

835
01:17:09,460 --> 01:17:14,960
and that the contractors, not at any time taking any over any part of the facility,

836
01:17:15,480 --> 01:17:18,820
I understand he would remain 100% in control of that facility,

837
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,180
as to where it likes something like our airport,

838
01:17:21,380 --> 01:17:27,440
where we've turned it over to the contractors, we had about RSP on it.

839
01:17:27,860 --> 01:17:29,300
This, I don't see that as necessary.

840
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:33,340
And I do, I am in favor of moving forward,

841
01:17:33,700 --> 01:17:37,940
and the reason why is that we have a beautiful

842
01:17:39,380 --> 01:17:44,720
and we're 15, 16 million dollars into that bank and it would be a whole lot more expensive.

843
01:17:45,140 --> 01:17:49,500
If we didn't manage our greens or fairways, manage the course properly, I think it would

844
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:54,360
cost us a whole lot more in the long run than paying for the professional services of

845
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:55,000
this consultant.

846
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,520
So those are my thoughts on it.

847
01:18:00,060 --> 01:18:01,400
So what's everybody else think?

848
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:02,400
I agree with you.

849
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:09,480
Yeah, and that golf course, I mean, it's a timing issue, too, is with the sod coming and

850
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:13,620
it's that we can't have any delay or any latency with that.

851
01:18:13,940 --> 01:18:21,320
So, you know, that's very important with winter coming and irrigation and, I mean, we need

852
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,580
to treat that with respect, too.

853
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:29,200
You guys have done it right up to this point, I mean, it's one of the most prettiest irrigation

854
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,420
systems of pump outs I've ever seen in my life.

855
01:18:31,420 --> 01:18:34,760
And then to add to this from comments or

856
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,940
communications cycles of had with county managers,

857
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:43,860
county manager, how it was before Moe came on.

858
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,320
And then after how basically he just,

859
01:18:46,820 --> 01:18:49,360
a lot of the problems, a lot of the calls from contractors

860
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,900
went away because it was being addressed properly.

861
01:18:52,100 --> 01:18:53,720
And maybe staff would like to speak to that,

862
01:18:53,820 --> 01:18:55,240
if there's anybody that would like to speak to that.

863
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:30,740
Yeah, so I mean truly the idea for the winner is just to kind of implement a foundation and a super solid structure for the 2027 season.

864
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:36,040
You know, in the winter, you guys all live in northern Nevada.

865
01:19:36,220 --> 01:19:38,040
I don't know how severe the weather was out here,

866
01:19:38,060 --> 01:19:41,940
but I know at Sunridge, it was 80 degrees in February.

867
01:19:42,300 --> 01:19:46,400
We put out like 9 million gallons in the month of February,

868
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:47,660
which is just absurd.

869
01:19:49,420 --> 01:19:56,060
You know, if your grass tries to come out of dormancy because it's 80 degrees,

870
01:19:56,060 --> 01:19:58,280
but, you know, then it's snowed in March.

871
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:27,880
You've really got to stay ahead of it. You know, you can't put too much water down, you're going to drown the root system. You're going to have freeze overs. You've got to turn the pumps off. And I mean, you still got to doctor it. You still got a baby, your grass, especially the new sod throughout the winter. I mean, we on days that it's warm enough. I mean, we are going to put out some water. And, you know, there's a lot of things. And it's, it's not.

872
01:20:29,260 --> 01:20:36,100
It's not from a neglect standpoint, but just because we didn't know ahead of time.

873
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:45,920
But there's a lot of projects we can get done this winter that have been kind of put on the back burner to help us prepare for the new year.

874
01:20:48,140 --> 01:20:57,340
And I mean, the new furtigator, we're putting a ton of phosphorus down right now to ensure that the grasses is coded as deeply rooted as possible.

875
01:20:57,340 --> 01:21:01,960
and then we're putting out a bunch of potassium as well to make sure that that grass has the

876
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:08,780
thickest coat of it can get for survival through the winter because you don't know if you're

877
01:21:08,780 --> 01:21:13,760
going to be under three feet a snow for three months or if it's going to be 80 in February

878
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:22,460
and I think, you know, and preparing for the summer, I mean we need to have all of our

879
01:21:22,460 --> 01:21:26,860
reals grind our machines tuned up and all that stuff so I mean there's constant

880
01:21:26,860 --> 01:21:31,800
work that can be done throughout the winter out of golf course. It's under my

881
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,180
understanding that in the past you guys have been closed.

882
01:21:38,230 --> 01:21:39,370
I know that's a

883
01:21:39,370 --> 01:21:43,030
county thing. My golf course I've never worked at one that closed in the winter.

884
01:21:44,230 --> 01:21:49,090
You know the only day that we guaranteed got off was Christmas day but you know

885
01:21:49,090 --> 01:21:52,510
there's revenue to be made throughout the winter months. I mean I know the days

886
01:21:52,510 --> 01:21:57,970
are shorter but if we're looking to kind of and it won't be this winter obviously but it'll

887
01:21:57,970 --> 01:22:03,810
be winners to come but I highly recommend not not having closing dates and trying to get some

888
01:22:03,810 --> 01:22:08,630
of your investment back. So when you do play through the winter it was minor sound you didn't want

889
01:22:08,630 --> 01:22:13,810
to play on the greens is that a false idea? Once grass is dormant you could land a bomb on it.

890
01:22:14,730 --> 01:22:21,030
I mean as long as the roots are protected that is that is a myth. I mean you you want play

891
01:22:23,170 --> 01:22:28,410
Yeah, you play, play doesn't hurt, but on the same accord you can't keep it super dry.

892
01:22:29,310 --> 01:22:35,210
Because you'll get your wear and tear marks from, you know, like I said golfers are creatures of habit.

893
01:22:35,390 --> 01:22:39,190
They pull in the hole at the same spot, they pull out of the hole at the same spot.

894
01:22:39,650 --> 01:22:46,710
So being able to kind of rotate those wear marks and, you know, heart distribution and that kind of stuff will be key throughout the winter.

895
01:22:46,710 --> 01:22:50,810
and yeah I mean the greens are your babies and I think having eyes on them

896
01:22:50,810 --> 01:22:56,130
knowledgeable eyes is going to be super beneficial for you guys throughout the

897
01:22:56,130 --> 01:23:00,790
winter. So you just go out and pile the snow off of the greens? If there's snow on

898
01:23:00,790 --> 01:23:07,570
the ground you're not playing but I mean I do I mean you're you're obviously going

899
01:23:07,570 --> 01:23:12,050
to be closed the days that you have snow on the ground but I mean it's

900
01:23:14,290 --> 01:23:14,430
more

901
01:23:14,430 --> 01:23:17,710
times than not there's more days throughout the three months of the winter season

902
01:23:17,710 --> 01:23:19,670
and what have you that-

903
01:23:19,670 --> 01:23:21,690
Can you promote the driving range area instead?

904
01:23:22,110 --> 01:23:24,590
Well, yeah, well, if there's snow on the ground,

905
01:23:24,750 --> 01:23:26,910
I mean, you're not going to go out and excessively remove

906
01:23:26,910 --> 01:23:29,090
any snow or put any more work on your plate.

907
01:23:29,610 --> 01:23:32,230
I mean, if there's some spots on the greens, stuff like that

908
01:23:32,230 --> 01:23:34,410
will shovel the greens off so they can breathe

909
01:23:34,410 --> 01:23:36,310
and stuff like that.

910
01:23:37,090 --> 01:23:38,530
Tar being the greens, I heard you guys

911
01:23:38,530 --> 01:23:40,030
tarp your greens in the past.

912
01:23:41,670 --> 01:23:45,410
I don't 100% agree with that at all,

913
01:23:45,550 --> 01:23:47,010
just because it's holding the moisture

914
01:23:47,010 --> 01:23:52,210
during and lack of oxygen from getting down into the root system and the longevity of

915
01:23:52,210 --> 01:23:57,730
the grass it just kind of starves it out and if snow sits on it then you're in trouble.

916
01:23:59,900 --> 01:24:03,020
All right so any other questions on the item and

917
01:24:05,220 --> 01:24:07,640
if we when I call for a motion we'll

918
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:11,660
have to make the determination what we believe if it's something that's it is a request for

919
01:24:11,660 --> 01:24:17,120
proposal or if we find it as a professional services and have the motion reflect that.

920
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,740
So any other questions or comments on the item?

921
01:24:20,260 --> 01:24:22,440
Does the public have any questions or comments on this item?

922
01:24:23,900 --> 01:24:24,380
Yes,

923
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,100
Eric Martinez-Lurek, I just wanted to speak out

924
01:24:32,100 --> 01:24:35,180
because I've had to work next to Bo as we've been getting

925
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,480
this project called, of course, project going.

926
01:24:39,020 --> 01:24:41,420
So I've got to kind of see him in action.

927
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:44,840
So part of what he's kind of stepped into is,

928
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,520
you know, we've got this 40 plus acres of new sod

929
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:48,300
that's been out there.

930
01:24:48,780 --> 01:24:51,780
And the county's responsibility was once the project placed

931
01:24:51,780 --> 01:24:56,000
that sought that the county and team had to kind of take it over to make sure

932
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:59,660
that it's been protected and it's starting to grow proper.

933
01:25:00,210 --> 01:25:30,130
There's been quite a bit of work that's gone into really then helping us with the construction project, frankly, and once it's placed, the contractor kind of has relieved it as responsibility, and it's not accounting to take it over. And so I've kind of seen them in action, and the sod is doing remarkably well. I encourage all of you to kind of go out there and take a look. We've got a few spots where we've got some issues, and they've been able to address it. We've got the sod supplier kind of addressing it, and both of them kind of forcing them to get some

934
01:25:30,130 --> 01:25:31,850
some of the additional seating down

935
01:25:31,850 --> 01:25:33,750
and getting, protecting our investment.

936
01:25:34,250 --> 01:25:36,610
And so I think from my perspective,

937
01:25:36,830 --> 01:25:37,750
he's done a really good job.

938
01:25:37,910 --> 01:25:39,210
It's been nice to have somebody out there

939
01:25:39,210 --> 01:25:40,170
with that type of knowledge

940
01:25:40,690 --> 01:25:42,430
that can help us through that process.

941
01:25:42,710 --> 01:25:43,490
So that's my question.

942
01:25:44,030 --> 01:25:44,430
Thank you.

943
01:25:44,570 --> 01:25:44,810
Thank you, thank you.

944
01:25:45,370 --> 01:25:46,170
Thank you.

945
01:25:46,170 --> 01:25:46,950
The previous night.

946
01:25:49,090 --> 01:25:50,290
The county does?

947
01:25:51,010 --> 01:25:51,690
They still will.

948
01:25:52,030 --> 01:25:54,030
We'll just guidance and training.

949
01:25:54,470 --> 01:25:56,670
Okay, I'm not really up on the golf course.

950
01:25:56,870 --> 01:25:57,910
Oh, you've been out there.

951
01:25:58,390 --> 01:25:59,550
How long have you been out there?

952
01:25:59,550 --> 01:26:02,990
I believe since the beginning of July.

953
01:26:03,370 --> 01:26:03,510
Okay.

954
01:26:04,630 --> 01:26:05,410
It's looking.

955
01:26:05,710 --> 01:26:05,850
Yeah.

956
01:26:06,110 --> 01:26:07,190
They have one hold down.

957
01:26:07,510 --> 01:26:14,630
The whole 17 was completely laden-sotted and then I've seen over the growing process

958
01:26:14,630 --> 01:26:15,230
from everything.

959
01:26:15,690 --> 01:26:15,930
Awesome.

960
01:26:16,210 --> 01:26:16,550
From there on.

961
01:26:17,010 --> 01:26:17,810
She's pretty.

962
01:26:18,190 --> 01:26:18,390
Yeah.

963
01:26:18,450 --> 01:26:18,970
It is beautiful.

964
01:26:20,430 --> 01:26:20,730
Okay.

965
01:26:21,110 --> 01:26:21,790
Any other questions?

966
01:26:22,030 --> 01:26:28,410
So my comments is we've heard from some of our stakeholders, just like Mr. Martinez said,

967
01:26:28,410 --> 01:26:47,550
that I've heard nothing but positive feedback on you, Mr. Server, and we have an opportunity to have a highly qualified individual who has a buy-in to help us with this project going forward, not only your handling the renovations, but the grow-in is, we don't get to do over on that, we have to get it right.

968
01:26:48,130 --> 01:27:03,230
I believe you have, you know what we have, you know what's ahead of us, you know what we need, I feel pretty comfortable with the terms other than the million dollars with their insurance, the general liability other than that, I felt pretty good about the service contract.

969
01:27:03,230 --> 01:27:21,890
If there's nothing more than I just I guess I just want to make sure does the commission find that it does qualify as a professional service contract and if not and we need to hear that on the record and if not if you believe it is and I'll hear a motion on the item make

970
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:37,300
a motion to approve the service contract professional service contract as stated on bullet point two with the exception of the

971
01:27:37,300 --> 01:27:45,140
So the verbiage to be changed in the contract from the $100,000 for general liability insurance to no less than $1 million.

972
01:27:45,780 --> 01:27:46,580
Okay, I'll second.

973
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:48,380
I have a motion and a second on the record.

974
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:49,220
On the table, say aye.

975
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:49,700
Aye.

976
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:50,120
Okay.

977
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:51,100
Thank you.

978
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:51,740
Thank you.

979
01:27:52,580 --> 01:28:07,220
Today, moving on 1.10, for discussion of possible action to a, make a determination to one, request for proposals for especially events of hosting service for the New Event Center under construction in a battle mountain, including the service to plan.

980
01:28:07,220 --> 01:28:12,200
ordinate, supervise, and administer events at the New Events Center, or to find that

981
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:17,080
this contracted is professional services contract, which by its nature is not adapted

982
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:21,460
to a word by competitive solicitation B. If it is found that this is a professional

983
01:28:21,460 --> 01:28:26,540
contract, which is not adapted to a word by competitive solicitation, then to approve,

984
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:31,920
disapprove, and agreement between Cody Clinton of Ann Lander County, or the above-sense

985
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:42,680
event center consulting services which will commence on September 10th, 2026, and will terminate on September 30th, 2029 to be compensated as follows.

986
01:28:43,220 --> 01:29:01,840
An annual consulting fee of $50,000 for the services described in this agreement, to an additional fee of $1,000 per day for authorized onsite assignments away from consultants primary residence, three to county shall reimburse about airfare lodging, rental vehicles, fuel parking,

987
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:03,820
and other approved travel expenses.

988
01:29:05,580 --> 01:29:09,340
So again, we're here on this similar ground here.

989
01:29:09,700 --> 01:29:12,600
We have to make the determination whether we believe it's...

990
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:12,920
Yes.

991
01:29:15,060 --> 01:29:16,000
Oh, yes, sorry.

992
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:16,920
Yes, thank you, Liz.

993
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,660
I had it on my case in the end, but I didn't report it to that.

994
01:29:21,380 --> 01:29:22,440
So, we'll

995
01:29:30,440 --> 01:29:33,020
continue on that under 1.10.

996
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:34,580
We also have item four.

997
01:29:35,420 --> 01:29:38,560
Consultant shall receive a one-time 5,000 additional fee

998
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:48,140
for each qualifying new event, substantially developed by the consultant approved by the Board of County Commissioners and finalized to an executed agreement subject to applicable law and appropriations.

999
01:29:48,860 --> 01:29:49,140
Thanks, Liz.

1000
01:29:51,170 --> 01:29:59,810
So we're back to deciding whether this is something that needs to go out for request for approval or if we demon has a professional services.

1001
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:07,040
Okay, how much longer to the event centers? Do we have a completion date set?

1002
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:17,870
Okay, so we're hiring someone to bring events in, and we don't even, it's not even, we haven't even started building the building. Right,

1003
01:30:22,900 --> 01:30:27,160
he was going to do a lot of talking. Is he going to charge us every time he goes somewhere to talk about us?

1004
01:30:36,140 --> 01:30:37,460
We can't afford Garth Brooks.

1005
01:30:37,460 --> 01:30:38,960
Even on the slide, it

1006
01:30:55,990 --> 01:31:03,700
goes with some of these programs that's going to be mentioned in the presentation that them, they get the most appetite.

1007
01:31:04,060 --> 01:31:05,720
They got to put

1008
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:08,920
them a few years out.

1009
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:11,180
They have their schedules, they know where the stock is.

1010
01:31:15,020 --> 01:31:17,560
They haven't had a beautiful place to be sheltered.

1011
01:31:18,260 --> 01:31:20,120
How does it work for us if we're

1012
01:31:23,420 --> 01:31:24,220
trying to put them out?

1013
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:26,940
Have we looked at the cost of what this is going to bring in?

1014
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,580
It's a half a million to a million dollars to bring an event in.

1015
01:31:29,580 --> 01:31:34,140
Unless you have to pay your PRCA fees, you have to pay your livestock fees, you have to

1016
01:31:34,140 --> 01:31:35,200
pay all these other things.

1017
01:31:35,580 --> 01:31:38,600
You're looking at almost $3 million to bring in a pro-rodeal group here.

1018
01:31:38,900 --> 01:31:39,020
Okay.

1019
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:44,960
I think we have, do we have Cody on the line since he is, okay, Cody, so did you hear the

1020
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:46,360
question from Commissioner Helming?

1021
01:31:47,060 --> 01:31:52,060
I mean, you know, I mean, I'm excited and I really want to see our events in our, do well,

1022
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:56,980
but when I started looking into the cost of what it's going to bring into a big name for

1023
01:31:56,980 --> 01:32:02,100
a concert or bring in a big event like that? Sure, we want to start out with all the bells

1024
01:32:02,100 --> 01:32:07,280
and whistles that we don't want to break the county either. And we're talking some serious

1025
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:11,120
money to bring in these big events. I started doing a lot of research on it and went, whoa,

1026
01:32:11,300 --> 01:32:17,460
wait a minute. We're talking big bucks, million dollars plus.

1027
01:32:18,660 --> 01:32:21,020
So the part that you got to keep in mind,

1028
01:33:17,190 --> 01:33:18,310
reason why if

1029
01:33:21,350 --> 01:33:23,450
you go when you put in a 50-pound

1030
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:54,720
Well, they also want to percentage of the ticket sales, sometimes they want to percentage

1031
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:55,940
of the concession sales.

1032
01:33:56,180 --> 01:34:00,640
We have to pay for all their lodging and I'm sorry, we don't have motels here that would

1033
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,580
suit Garth Brooks.

1034
01:34:05,480 --> 01:34:09,640
He's going to bring a bus, but you know, I mean, like I said, I'm all for this.

1035
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:13,380
I'm just a little concerned that maybe we're putting the cart before the horse a little early.

1036
01:34:13,820 --> 01:34:16,160
If we're two to three years out before we're done.

1037
01:34:17,780 --> 01:34:21,100
That was one of my concerns too, so it's, I trust me.

1038
01:34:21,140 --> 01:34:25,140
I asked Cody, if anybody was skeptical it was me,

1039
01:34:25,260 --> 01:34:26,800
because I asked them all those questions too.

1040
01:34:27,480 --> 01:34:30,420
And some of these events you got to book a year and a half out,

1041
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:32,780
sometimes a year, sometimes even more.

1042
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,300
Others, you can get away with, you know, like,

1043
01:34:36,380 --> 01:34:38,100
if you have a gun show and RV show or something,

1044
01:34:38,460 --> 01:34:39,780
don't really require that long.

1045
01:34:39,780 --> 01:34:40,920
that these rodeo's answers.

1046
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:44,060
But these guys, if they're going to book,

1047
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,720
they don't, they want to see what our event center is

1048
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:47,400
going to look like.

1049
01:34:47,900 --> 01:34:49,900
You know, they think they're getting the Taj Mahal

1050
01:34:49,900 --> 01:34:53,660
and they end up with Snockyard.

1051
01:35:01,740 --> 01:35:31,720
For example, on your sound system stuff, if I bring somebody in and we review it, and we say, if somebody comes in with a, you know, even a gun show, they're not going to like this sound system little on the concert, then we can address those situations prior to that completion, rather than after the completion, saving you money in that manner as well. But there's a lot more to preparation of these things than just building the building and then saying, oh, here it is. Now, let's see if we can put an event in it. You'll sit for two years before you

1052
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:33,260
to get a major event in the building,

1053
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:35,720
all the meanwhile putting lower quality events

1054
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:37,420
in your building and building that reputation

1055
01:35:37,420 --> 01:35:38,360
for your building.

1056
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,820
So my purpose is to bring a good reputation

1057
01:35:41,820 --> 01:35:43,140
for your building from the beginning

1058
01:35:43,140 --> 01:35:46,000
so your building can actually generate money

1059
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:47,160
rather than cost you money.

1060
01:35:47,380 --> 01:35:48,640
That's my purpose.

1061
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:50,160
Do we have a guarantee on that?

1062
01:35:51,300 --> 01:35:52,960
There are no guarantees in life.

1063
01:35:55,220 --> 01:35:58,700
Just for all disclosure, myself and Lamont met with Cody

1064
01:35:59,660 --> 01:36:12,100
Clinton yesterday and we, we grilled him pretty hard, asked a lot of questions, a lot of our concerns and just because I, it's, well, I mean, I'm not an expert in the fields by any means.

1065
01:36:13,220 --> 01:36:26,540
Yeah, the one has a pretty good grasp on it just from this past and, and then you said he's been a part of, but I, but I do know that I do believe he's the right guy for it.

1066
01:36:26,540 --> 01:36:30,180
And I don't know if there's anybody staff that wants to speak to it, how we came about

1067
01:36:30,180 --> 01:36:30,660
finding.

1068
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:35,980
Cody, but I believe he came pretty highly recommended from a lot of other facilities.

1069
01:36:37,260 --> 01:36:39,380
But is there anybody that'd like to speak to that?

1070
01:36:41,500 --> 01:36:46,720
Yes, so Mr. Martinez is actually the one who located him and is in his search down in Vegas

1071
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:50,380
going through different facilities and trying to come up with designs and something to make

1072
01:36:50,380 --> 01:36:52,320
the best event center we can possibly come up with.

1073
01:36:53,380 --> 01:36:58,160
And what we're trying to do here is build the product that the community in this commission

1074
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:01,400
you can be proud of and bring the events that follow that.

1075
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:06,240
And if the commission chooses not, I just want this to be on the record, so the public

1076
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:07,640
knows we're trying to bring the best people.

1077
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:13,940
We put $60 million into an event center, and then to hold a monster truck rallying that

1078
01:37:13,940 --> 01:37:15,000
I think would be a disservice.

1079
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:19,760
No different than putting the $12 million into the golf course and bringing bow on.

1080
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:33,140
I think that these, some of these requests are relatively cheap, and are trying to put together something that the outcome of this is what we've had targeted when we put this in front of you guys to start for budgeting.

1081
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:49,360
Absolutely, Aaron Martinez to the record, so to be clear, none of us know, Mr. Flitten, when my staff and I were doing our research on events all over the country, we were picking apart mainly on the west coast.

1082
01:37:49,360 --> 01:38:19,340
we focused, we went down there and toured all the facilities, not on lander counties down to be clear, I did that on our own time, but we also as part of that we wanted to understand their contacts, who is the major players in their events, how do they secure those events, what does this look like in terms of contracting those types of aspects and Mr. Flint and come highly recommended from a few different sources during that period, we also reached out to you

1083
01:38:19,340 --> 01:38:25,620
several others. And to be honest with you, none of them seem to fit at least from my opinion,

1084
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:30,380
a standard for me to even recommend that person because it seems like when I recommend people,

1085
01:38:30,540 --> 01:38:36,260
my name tends to run with them. So we take it very seriously. And really Cody was the only one

1086
01:38:36,260 --> 01:38:42,420
in his team that was worthy in my opinion of that recommendation. And that's how it kind of came out

1087
01:38:42,420 --> 01:38:59,240
that way, and to touch on the event center, just a little bit if I may, currently right now that phase one construction is underway as you guys know, that project funding came in, that budget came in about $3 to $5 million under the actual

1088
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:08,620
So, engineers estimate due to really favorable bids, so that was really beneficial, so we're already kind of winning there.

1089
01:39:09,140 --> 01:39:21,640
That next phase, that vertical construction piece that you're talking about is going to occur and will be in front of you hopefully at the December 10th commission meeting for your review and decision making.

1090
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:30,720
So the vertical construction is anticipated to start January, based on your approvals, of course, of January of 27.

1091
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:41,760
So we hope to have the building stood by the end of that year, which gives us 2028 for the internal buildout for the 2029 season that we're kind of shooting for.

1092
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:49,980
So your points of being kind of the car before the horse completely understand what you're saying kind of from a big picture marketing and

1093
01:39:49,980 --> 01:39:53,360
and events securing standpoint that I've done my research on.

1094
01:39:53,820 --> 01:39:59,920
We are actually kind of breaching that line of not being able to fill the 2029.

1095
01:40:01,980 --> 01:40:29,560
So that's kind of what's out in front of us. If I may, I have one more thing too. The proposal isn't just about scheduling events. That's one of my abilities as well. But the other part is I'm going to help you train your staff so that when you open the event center to any type of event, whether it be your local high school dance or graduation or anything else, that staff is ready to receive that event rather than not knowing what to do the first day of

1096
01:40:30,940 --> 01:40:47,100
So there's training processes between now and then there's scheduling process between now and then there's a finding sponsorships for those events between now and then advertising so people know the event center is coming between now and then it's not just scheduling an event.

1097
01:40:48,300 --> 01:40:49,500
Okay, thank you Cody.

1098
01:40:50,780 --> 01:40:55,360
So we're back to deciding whether or not it is something that requests for a professional

1099
01:40:56,400 --> 01:41:02,060
services contract and I'll just go on and state that what my opinion is based on my own

1100
01:41:02,060 --> 01:41:08,340
research is that in talking with Cody yesterday as well that and with our county manager

1101
01:41:08,340 --> 01:41:13,880
and citizen county manager that this contractor at no point will that facility be turned over

1102
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:16,840
and we'll retain 100% control of that facility.

1103
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:20,640
He will be there in a consulting firm in fashion

1104
01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:23,200
to give us the education knowledge and training

1105
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:26,760
that we need to be able to, when he steps away,

1106
01:41:27,380 --> 01:41:30,140
to continue running that event center successfully.

1107
01:41:30,420 --> 01:41:32,240
So that is my opinion on that.

1108
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:35,780
But are there any other questions or comments on this?

1109
01:41:35,780 --> 01:41:38,620
So on this, just like the last contract,

1110
01:41:38,900 --> 01:41:41,300
we just kind of went over.

1111
01:41:41,300 --> 01:41:44,840
This general liability insurance is at $100,000 as well.

1112
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,160
Is that another typo?

1113
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:52,820
Or Cody, are you getting a larger policy than that for general liability?

1114
01:41:53,420 --> 01:41:56,240
I'm pretty sure I currently have a larger policy than that.

1115
01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:58,040
I'm a revenge

1116
01:42:06,940 --> 01:42:10,860
center that I do with, so I'm pretty sure I'm already covered for it.

1117
01:42:15,100 --> 01:42:20,800
Okay, so under general liability you would be able to carry no less than $2.5 million policy?

1118
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:21,800
So

1119
01:42:29,250 --> 01:42:37,250
Bill, with the first one, it was a 18-month or 16-month contract, which is a short-term contract.

1120
01:42:37,470 --> 01:42:38,730
This is a three-year contract.

1121
01:42:39,130 --> 01:42:50,510
Is that where your concern was with like the FRPs or RFPs, I'm just trying to get clarification on that.

1122
01:42:51,310 --> 01:42:53,250
The golf course one was a very short-term one.

1123
01:42:53,250 --> 01:43:02,090
And the biggest concern is that in the past, the Attorney General's Office has been concerned

1124
01:43:02,090 --> 01:43:09,670
that you don't have any sweetheart deals so they want to see you put out some kind of

1125
01:43:09,670 --> 01:43:17,450
publicity that we're looking for, whatever it is, which is basically the request for proposals

1126
01:43:17,450 --> 01:43:21,630
even on things that are professional,

1127
01:43:21,930 --> 01:43:24,010
you frequently will go with them.

1128
01:43:26,270 --> 01:43:32,210
And that's the preferred way of trying to recruit people.

1129
01:43:33,770 --> 01:43:39,750
Having said that, obviously being in the legal profession

1130
01:43:39,750 --> 01:43:45,550
we're very well aware there are people who are super expert on various

1131
01:43:45,550 --> 01:43:58,790
as aspects of the law, and sometimes you know who you want, and you just go for that particular person, and that's where this finding of that it's a professional service.

1132
01:43:58,790 --> 01:44:12,050
giving an example from Eureka County when we were facing lawsuit for a local resident

1133
01:44:12,050 --> 01:44:15,110
who also was a business owner actually

1134
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:19,720
was suing the district attorney, the previous

1135
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:29,340
district attorney to me for a slander. We wanted a first amendment expert and at the moment

1136
01:44:29,340 --> 01:44:35,100
I can't remember the justice's name, but the guy we got ended up being a Supreme Court

1137
01:44:35,100 --> 01:44:38,120
justice about four years after we got him.

1138
01:44:39,100 --> 01:44:47,160
And I had to argue with full path to get that covered, but that would be an example.

1139
01:44:47,500 --> 01:44:55,100
We knew who we wanted because we knew they had done First Amendment work before, and those

1140
01:44:55,100 --> 01:44:59,920
Those are the types of things, and if Mr. Flitten, I hope I'm not mispronouncing.

1141
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:29,500
I'm asking that. No, is this particular aspect of an area? Yeah, if he knows this area better than others, that would certainly be a reason to do it. But the preferred method is to get it out there. So that the they're so concerned about open government that they want to know that you have stuff. And I'm a

1142
01:45:29,500 --> 01:45:31,620
I might be a little gun shy.

1143
01:45:31,900 --> 01:45:36,300
We got, I guess, the only one of you that still hear

1144
01:45:36,300 --> 01:45:48,860
from that incidence back in 22, the commission had someone's

1145
01:45:48,860 --> 01:45:51,820
contract, a proposed contract discussed.

1146
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:53,840
I think if something could do with insurance,

1147
01:45:54,660 --> 01:45:55,920
I'm going back in my memory.

1148
01:45:57,860 --> 01:46:08,320
And they had their presentation, but the following meeting there was some second thoughts

1149
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:09,160
about it.

1150
01:46:09,500 --> 01:46:20,400
And Patsy, and I forget, I think Art was still there at that point, began discussing

1151
01:46:22,180 --> 01:46:28,580
that item, even though it wasn't on the agenda for that commission, and they discussed it

1152
01:46:28,580 --> 01:46:29,600
for like 10 minutes.

1153
01:46:30,980 --> 01:46:40,080
And you may recall, I think it was in 24, it might have been 23, that the Attorney General's

1154
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:47,100
Office came and gave us a short presentation, chastising us for having allowed that to happen.

1155
01:46:47,100 --> 01:46:52,640
And that indicated to me not just a theoretical interest,

1156
01:46:52,860 --> 01:46:54,580
but that they're actually looking at you

1157
01:46:54,580 --> 01:46:56,700
if you don't keep things open.

1158
01:46:57,280 --> 01:47:02,100
So I'm trying to make sure we are as open as possible.

1159
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:06,580
And my recommendation would be that,

1160
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:09,840
and I ran it by Brian Hardy as well,

1161
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:15,380
that in general, you try to put it out there publicly

1162
01:47:15,380 --> 01:47:23,300
that, hey, we're looking for this type of an expert. Well, I had a time and then go ahead

1163
01:47:23,300 --> 01:47:29,540
with it. Again, there are exceptions, like I said, when I was looking for a first amendment

1164
01:47:29,540 --> 01:47:30,140
person.

1165
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:36,360
Well, wouldn't the work that Aaron had done in the past with all the research that

1166
01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:40,160
he did, wouldn't that have covered some of that when he found out that some of that really

1167
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:42,420
I wouldn't be anybody that was disqualified.

1168
01:47:42,780 --> 01:47:49,500
What they're mainly concerned with is people out there that would have liked to have had

1169
01:47:49,500 --> 01:47:57,600
your interest, you know, want to, want to sell you on themselves and have that opportunity.

1170
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:02,920
I have a question on that line, Bill, is that if that were the case and we were, I think

1171
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:06,760
this being agentized, how it's being agentized, that we are being, that is a cautious step.

1172
01:48:06,940 --> 01:48:08,440
I believe that we've done that right, right?

1173
01:48:08,440 --> 01:48:11,100
So we're determining it on the record, we're discussing it.

1174
01:48:11,120 --> 01:48:13,600
That's what I thought you were asking me to explain.

1175
01:48:14,060 --> 01:48:21,860
So why wouldn't we have then, with any engineers, auditors, insurance agents, they would

1176
01:48:21,860 --> 01:48:27,160
based on your logic, from my understanding, is that why wouldn't we have RFP those, because

1177
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:31,220
there are going to be other people in those professional fields that would want to possibly

1178
01:48:31,220 --> 01:48:35,020
have a chance at that.

1179
01:48:35,020 --> 01:48:40,920
When you're doing something new, that is probably a good idea.

1180
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:50,620
When you have had like your county engineer, you had the same firm forever, you don't necessarily

1181
01:48:50,620 --> 01:48:51,260
do that.

1182
01:48:51,500 --> 01:48:56,020
But having said that, we've had the same public defender for a long time, and what did

1183
01:48:56,020 --> 01:48:57,260
we do just last year?

1184
01:48:58,200 --> 01:49:01,760
We went and put it out there to see if there was any other interests.

1185
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:07,900
But when I talk about the re-linked machine control, that's something that we don't maintain control of.

1186
01:49:08,780 --> 01:49:10,360
Right? Because it's part of the court system.

1187
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:13,320
It's not land or county, it's the courts.

1188
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:21,720
Yeah, unfortunately, I think you guys should have more control than this has been willing to give.

1189
01:49:22,460 --> 01:49:30,640
And there's still controversy as to who should have more control, and that's one of those given takes that we have.

1190
01:49:32,580 --> 01:49:36,440
Yes, thank you, Mike McDonald, the district attorney's office.

1191
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:40,640
Mr. Chair, to your question relating to professional services,

1192
01:49:41,060 --> 01:49:46,300
our recommendation and the preference of others is that even in those instances,

1193
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:51,660
with engineers' architects' accountants, that the request for qualifications or

1194
01:49:51,660 --> 01:49:57,000
request for proposals, it may draw them up other folks that may be interested in

1195
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,980
contracting with with the county that we're not a

1196
01:50:00,300 --> 01:50:30,280
They may have even greater expertise or maybe coming in at a better rate. And so the thought being the more public we are, the better information, the board receives and can make decisions with. So even in those really special areas of expertise, it isn't a situation that you just automatically serve as professional services. Our preferences is, let's see.

1197
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:33,500
if we can get the best bang for the buck, and that's the biggest thing.

1198
01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:39,540
Time isn't an issue, is the length of contracts, those types of things.

1199
01:50:40,980 --> 01:50:43,380
The other item that I wanted to note, and I think Mr.

1200
01:50:43,580 --> 01:50:49,160
Schaeff was trying to get to the microphone, as part of the motion,

1201
01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:57,060
we would ask that you include in the motion the finding or the determination that you make.

1202
01:50:57,560 --> 01:50:58,000
Thank you.

1203
01:50:58,660 --> 01:50:59,180
Thank you.

1204
01:50:59,320 --> 01:50:59,440
Thank you.

1205
01:50:59,660 --> 01:50:59,920
Yeah.

1206
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:04,480
And again, I go back to, I think this being the end of the way it's the end of it, it is

1207
01:51:04,480 --> 01:51:08,820
a cautious step because like with, I think if I understand this from the public correctly

1208
01:51:08,820 --> 01:51:14,680
is that in the past like the county manager had been able to make the determination to say,

1209
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:18,380
okay, we're going to go with this insurance care to handle it because it costs high as a professional

1210
01:51:18,380 --> 01:51:18,840
service.

1211
01:51:19,340 --> 01:51:24,920
But on that, I want you to say there is a statute, which is 332.115b, which basically vests

1212
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:29,620
this board make the determination whether or not we're dealing with something that needs

1213
01:51:29,620 --> 01:51:32,860
to be request for proposal or a professional service.

1214
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:37,560
And that's why I've stated based on my own research and the verbiage on the public

1215
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:40,180
record of why I find it is a professional service.

1216
01:51:40,440 --> 01:51:43,860
So that's why I wanted to make sure that all your attention was to that.

1217
01:51:44,060 --> 01:51:48,340
So you could make up your own mind and the opinion of what you believe it to be.

1218
01:51:49,480 --> 01:51:50,360
So anyway.

1219
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:57,380
Yeah, I think just one thing is we don't want to make it look like we haven't vetted a good amount of potential candidates already.

1220
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:15,000
I mean, we've been ever since I first started talking about that and hearing people, you know, are, is we, but we've looked for someone to take care of that and, you know, some people maybe better than others to get a better look, but, you know,

1221
01:52:20,340 --> 01:52:20,340
Mr.

1222
01:52:20,980 --> 01:52:26,460
People's opinion who we trust, and it looks like the best bet for us, so that's my opinion.

1223
01:52:26,600 --> 01:52:36,460
I mean, a lot of things go into these, there's judgment, there's planning, there's expertise, and I do believe time is an issue because we might not have an opportunity to get Mr.

1224
01:52:36,580 --> 01:52:39,340
Flitten before or somebody else qualified.

1225
01:52:39,500 --> 01:52:45,640
I mean, these people don't stay around very long without someone picking them up, so that's what I got to say.

1226
01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:52,140
Yeah. Any other questions or comments on the item? Does the public have any questions or comments on the item? Yes, ma'am.

1227
01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:10,960
I'll increase for the chamber. I just wanted to address the fact that having done events in my occupation, as well as a squitboard,

1228
01:53:13,900 --> 01:53:21,640
President. It is very challenging to find reputable people

1229
01:53:23,820 --> 01:53:24,960
that are going to stand behind

1230
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:33,140
their word and deliver. And when you are looking to book events or people, their lead

1231
01:53:33,140 --> 01:53:41,240
time in respect to the quilt guilt, their lead time to be able to book a qualified teacher

1232
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:44,140
that's bringing something in that is well known.

1233
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:50,240
I'm not talking Sue Alexander but I'm talking someone who can can teach.

1234
01:53:51,020 --> 01:53:54,860
Their calendars are truly booked a year and a half to two years out.

1235
01:53:55,620 --> 01:54:01,140
So if you have any hope of getting performers and

1236
01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:06,160
Garth works is a huge reach but there are some of the others that are up and coming.

1237
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:14,520
coding, some of the other groups that are on that cusp of breaking, that performing in

1238
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:19,840
a rural area could be a make or break for them as well as us, you do have to get on the

1239
01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:25,220
books a year and a half to two years in advance. And so being able to pre-plan and get that

1240
01:54:25,220 --> 01:54:31,400
focused is going to do nothing but benefit our community as well as our businesses, as

1241
01:54:31,400 --> 01:54:34,900
as well as our infrastructure and our current development.

1242
01:54:35,260 --> 01:54:39,460
So having someone who is forward thinking and looking at that,

1243
01:54:39,820 --> 01:54:45,300
and there is so much to having that building up and going.

1244
01:54:46,940 --> 01:54:48,900
I don't have to worry about that,

1245
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:51,300
but there are so many behind the scenes things

1246
01:54:51,300 --> 01:54:53,780
that my own board doesn't even realize

1247
01:54:53,780 --> 01:54:58,840
is happening that I handle because I know that it's happening.

1248
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:28,920
Having this gentleman would do nothing or another person would do nothing but provide a base that's going to take pressure off your county manager, pressure off of you as commissioners. It's going to just solidify that to ensure that we that we are successful because there's nothing worse than, and I'm speaking because I'm a little nervous about my October event, but there's nothing worse than having these huge ideas.

1249
01:55:28,920 --> 01:55:34,820
and not having the ground work done so that it can be successful.

1250
01:55:36,540 --> 01:55:39,040
And that is my two cents.

1251
01:55:39,340 --> 01:55:45,220
If we want to be able for me to sell this with my businesses

1252
01:55:45,220 --> 01:55:48,520
and to be looking for other businesses to come in,

1253
01:55:48,860 --> 01:55:53,580
that just enrich our community, we need to be forward thinking.

1254
01:55:53,740 --> 01:55:57,600
And I hope that Mr. Flintin will, if or whoever,

1255
01:55:57,600 --> 01:56:03,380
that when all of that is in play, that we can have some conversations and include the chamber so

1256
01:56:03,380 --> 01:56:09,620
that we can start playing groundwork on our own to help to help support and encourage this

1257
01:56:09,620 --> 01:56:17,140
growth because growth is coming. I mean, the meeting yesterday, what I hear from my contacts in

1258
01:56:17,140 --> 01:56:26,120
Winamaka and Elko, right now Wander County is a point of discussion. The fact that we don't know

1259
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:28,020
how many of you knew we just had two creators.

1260
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:30,280
We have creators coming in next week

1261
01:56:30,790 --> 01:56:32,320
for the Human Powered Speed Challenge.

1262
01:56:32,660 --> 01:56:35,420
We just had creators coming in last weekend

1263
01:56:35,420 --> 01:56:37,240
that were here Friday Saturday Sunday

1264
01:56:37,630 --> 01:56:39,440
that went to all sorts of places

1265
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,220
in battle mountain on my recommendation

1266
01:56:41,220 --> 01:56:43,860
and Becky's recommendation that took pictures

1267
01:56:43,860 --> 01:56:44,900
that interviewed people.

1268
01:56:45,380 --> 01:56:48,760
These are people that their work is going to be

1269
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:51,700
in the Nevada magazine, which you all have a copy of.

1270
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:53,320
That is distributed internationally.

1271
01:56:53,320 --> 01:57:02,480
So it's coming and the more we can be prepared and look organized and together, the better.

1272
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:08,280
If Mr. Flintin doesn't think you mix, that he's not looking to be long term forever.

1273
01:57:08,600 --> 01:57:15,780
It doesn't look like that you need to have somebody with knowledge so that they can guide

1274
01:57:15,780 --> 01:57:20,480
you so that we don't look like fools and you don't lose the money you have invested.

1275
01:57:20,480 --> 01:57:23,660
Because once that first impression is made, it's done.

1276
01:57:25,100 --> 01:57:26,700
That's my two seventh thing, you know.

1277
01:57:27,480 --> 01:57:34,680
So Cody, for our conversation yesterday, your actual long-term goal is to train

1278
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:41,200
land or county or someone we designate to be able to be self-sufficient.

1279
01:57:41,540 --> 01:57:43,040
Was that, did I understand that correctly?

1280
01:57:43,840 --> 01:57:44,880
Yeah, that's

1281
01:58:24,530 --> 01:58:26,810
not as much your

1282
01:58:33,140 --> 01:58:37,740
judgment because you don't have the technology to in place to cover what needs to be done

1283
01:58:37,740 --> 01:58:41,960
So there needs to be a sawed line of Wi-Fi in the area

1284
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:44,600
And as we did kid that the people in the building

1285
01:58:45,340 --> 01:58:47,660
We need to pick which ticketing service we're going to do

1286
01:58:48,400 --> 01:58:52,980
And then like like she said earlier my reputation with the people that I would be calling

1287
01:58:53,620 --> 01:58:58,580
Is intact at this moment because of who I've created as my image to others, right?

1288
01:58:59,020 --> 01:59:02,680
If I call someone and I say, I need to get in touch with,

1289
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:05,120
let's say, Garth Roach's not saying that he's the one

1290
01:59:05,120 --> 01:59:07,020
coming the center who says his name so much today,

1291
01:59:07,360 --> 01:59:10,680
and I go through my contact to my self lining that up

1292
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:13,880
and that people of Linder County shut me down

1293
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:16,740
and that ruins my name as much as anything

1294
01:59:16,740 --> 01:59:19,060
and my future jobs are harder to do

1295
01:59:19,590 --> 01:59:20,800
because of that situation.

1296
01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:25,580
So I currently being sought after by people in Linder County

1297
01:59:25,580 --> 01:59:27,300
because I have the reputation

1298
01:59:27,300 --> 01:59:40,320
that I can make things happen. And if I start changing their reputation because of this board or others decide that they don't want to support the growth which I would run everything through the board once more. I'm not taking control. I'm a consultant.

1299
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:49,100
I would give everybody the advisement to make the choice. And then once we went from there, I will start booking those events and move forward.

1300
01:59:49,100 --> 01:59:56,120
But the main piece that I heard there that I film is most important to all this for this event center is

1301
01:59:56,120 --> 01:59:59,900
Landercammy is ready to grow and depending on what kind

1302
02:00:10,890 --> 02:00:21,690
So, if you want to start picking and choosing which types of events you want to invite because if you bring in low quality, you'll have low quality individuals looking at your county.

1303
02:00:21,690 --> 02:00:25,670
Yeah, I think all we have to write is like we're at the stage of

1304
02:00:26,290 --> 02:00:31,210
Getting attention and that the buzz is out there. I talked to a contract friend of mine

1305
02:00:31,210 --> 02:00:35,090
That's over in Gardnerville that traveled all over the state and he says man. What do you guys do it?

1306
02:00:35,190 --> 02:00:36,710
And I'm not like what what have you heard?

1307
02:00:37,310 --> 02:00:42,790
Just to leave it open and he just said yeah, you guys you guys are the talk so so it's gaining attention

1308
02:00:42,790 --> 02:00:48,150
And I think and that's what I could if I understood you right right if once we approve this this

1309
02:00:48,150 --> 02:00:53,650
contract with you is that your plan is to do a soft announcement for a 2029

1310
02:00:55,610 --> 02:01:01,910
nationally televised world rodeo which is going to gain a lot of attention

1311
02:01:01,910 --> 02:01:05,550
like things are happening in battle mountain about it it's like you're getting

1312
02:01:05,550 --> 02:01:10,990
interest you're getting attention people want to possibly move here you know they

1313
02:01:10,990 --> 02:01:16,280
want to check it all out so it's I don't know I I agree with you it is a bit of

1314
02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:18,080
East, man, it creeps me a little bit of anxiety.

1315
02:01:19,040 --> 02:01:22,140
But I know on the same token that we can't just,

1316
02:01:23,140 --> 02:01:25,040
yeah, we have to have some growth, right?

1317
02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:27,000
It's like it's protecting our future

1318
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:28,780
if anything ever does happen to net proceeds,

1319
02:01:28,780 --> 02:01:29,500
where are we at?

1320
02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:31,900
And that's always been a concern of mine, right?

1321
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:34,820
So that idea has always scurred me a little bit.

1322
02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:37,620
That we just become this, those town again, right?

1323
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:39,980
The cycle boom thing that I've experienced since I was a kid.

1324
02:01:40,860 --> 02:01:42,960
So anyway, that's my two cents.

1325
02:01:42,960 --> 02:02:10,480
I'd just like to read, sorry, Cody, just like to read in the record though, this is with this contract, there is a termination clause where if land or county, or the consultant may terminate this agreement with or without cause upon 30 days written notice, so if key benchmarks indicators performance isn't being met, you know, this contract, this agreement could be terminated within 30 days notice.

1326
02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:22,320
So, you know, there's, I understand it's approximately three years, but if things aren't going right, you know, or Cody thinks he can't deliver, you know, this contract can be terminated.

1327
02:02:24,040 --> 02:02:25,400
Cody, did you have something to say?

1328
02:02:27,060 --> 02:02:31,660
No, that's correct, and because I feel like a band's word is more important than a piece of paper,

1329
02:02:36,110 --> 02:02:37,410
it's a job, I'll let you know.

1330
02:02:37,410 --> 02:02:42,870
And if you guys feel like I'm not accomplishing a job, you know, longer want me than I don't want to be there and be a burden upon you

1331
02:02:42,870 --> 02:02:46,610
So that's just how I've always operated. That's why that's built that way

1332
02:02:48,790 --> 02:02:53,390
So is there any other comments or questions on the item either from the Commission or the public?

1333
02:02:55,570 --> 02:02:55,930
Yes,

1334
02:03:04,150 --> 02:03:07,170
thank you. My name is Jerry Annis for the record

1335
02:03:07,790 --> 02:03:12,410
a lot of good comments a lot of good input on this item

1336
02:03:14,050 --> 02:03:26,150
I'm glad that there was clarification for myself on the determination in regard to RFP's.

1337
02:03:26,830 --> 02:03:28,770
But two things I want to bring up.

1338
02:03:29,330 --> 02:03:37,190
One is, if you do not put out RFP's, it's going to be a bad look on you, the three things.

1339
02:03:37,190 --> 02:03:44,850
It will be, you know, I'm sure that I know that you've vetted this particular operation

1340
02:03:45,890 --> 02:03:54,270
and I am very confident that you're leaning in the right direction but public perception

1341
02:03:54,910 --> 02:04:03,110
is important, it's important for all of us, you included and without an RFP there's going

1342
02:04:03,110 --> 02:04:13,490
be a lot of anxiety in the community as to how this happened. That's number one. Number two is

1343
02:04:13,490 --> 02:04:19,490
that the schedule that I've heard, you've got two and a half years till the next event season.

1344
02:04:21,430 --> 02:04:29,870
And so I think this is not an, it's just my personal opinion, but I'm thinking of public opinion also.

1345
02:04:29,870 --> 02:04:34,710
So my personal opinion is this is not a decision that has to be made today.

1346
02:04:36,050 --> 02:04:36,930
You've got time.

1347
02:04:37,230 --> 02:04:45,550
You've got a winner to make this decision to put out an RFP, to do vetting, and make

1348
02:04:45,550 --> 02:04:48,130
sure that you're going down the right path.

1349
02:04:48,910 --> 02:04:55,890
And you still have the two-year window that's been talked about to book Garth Brooks.

1350
02:04:56,370 --> 02:04:59,510
Okay, and then the last thing is I was here for the

1351
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:28,400
For the two meetings ago, a month ago, for the presentation that you got, there was no packet. And I may be wrong. But I think at that meeting, all you talked about, all you were presented was a $50,000 per year package. Today, we're looking at, additionally, $1,000 per day, air fare.

1352
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:39,980
And, you know, we need to find out if that's fair to Reno or Elco, you know, and all these other item number three costs that have been added.

1353
02:05:40,380 --> 02:05:43,620
And then lastly, it wasn't even on the packet for today.

1354
02:05:44,180 --> 02:05:48,520
Now we're looking at an additional $5,000 per event.

1355
02:05:49,180 --> 02:05:56,780
So, a lot of changes have happened since the initial presentation to the public.

1356
02:05:56,780 --> 02:06:06,200
And I think all that needs to be discussed further, again, in my opinion, but I think I don't

1357
02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:07,220
think I'm alone out there.

1358
02:06:07,700 --> 02:06:09,460
So just some thoughts.

1359
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:18,120
I would encourage slowing down a little bit before you make a final decision and really

1360
02:06:18,120 --> 02:06:24,520
encourage an RFP, whether you have to or not, we've been told you can do whatever you want.

1361
02:06:25,420 --> 02:06:27,600
But that's not a good look for you.

1362
02:06:28,240 --> 02:06:28,720
Thank you.

1363
02:06:30,740 --> 02:06:33,420
Okay, so any other questions or comments on the item?

1364
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:36,340
I was questioning the airfare and all that, too.

1365
02:06:36,560 --> 02:06:38,780
Is that just a fly here to do consulting like this?

1366
02:06:39,320 --> 02:06:44,380
The Gulf Coast guy is going to charge $350, but we're not picking that smiley or whatever.

1367
02:06:44,660 --> 02:06:48,320
But with Cody, are we paying for him to fly to New York?

1368
02:06:49,340 --> 02:06:53,140
Just to Reno, what are we paying for?

1369
02:06:53,140 --> 02:06:58,940
Do you have to approve his flights before he goes on him and this $1,000 a day is like a 5-day event

1370
02:06:58,940 --> 02:07:01,740
We're painting $5,000 on top of the $50,000

1371
02:07:02,900 --> 02:07:04,800
How do you could you speak to that please?

1372
02:07:06,100 --> 02:07:08,100
Yeah, the $5,000 is a

1373
02:07:12,450 --> 02:07:15,670
We're talking about the $1,000 a day and the travel and all that

1374
02:07:15,670 --> 02:07:16,270
I

1375
02:07:39,860 --> 02:07:41,100
have to leave all of mine for

1376
02:07:43,140 --> 02:07:44,160
other people I'm creating.

1377
02:07:51,110 --> 02:07:55,630
I'm going to be there every day for 365 days and daily for $1,000 a day

1378
02:07:55,630 --> 02:07:56,230
Nation

1379
02:07:59,750 --> 02:08:12,790
has never been put out that the level that some of you are wanting is because, and maybe we should change this, maybe we should start breaking this out into pieces, but what I'm offering is a larger package that most people could even begin to offer.

1380
02:08:13,370 --> 02:08:27,990
The package is including consulting, it's including training for your facility, it's including a lot more than just, you know, I'm going to take an advance and get $1,000 for $1,000 a day, the way that it's kind of being treated in this discussion.

1381
02:08:29,150 --> 02:08:30,550
I'm sorry that I'm not there.

1382
02:08:31,010 --> 02:08:35,790
I should have been there, but in the end I got other things in my life that I still have

1383
02:08:35,790 --> 02:08:36,130
to do.

1384
02:08:36,670 --> 02:08:43,690
And the last time I was there and seemed like we were really needing my presentation because

1385
02:08:43,690 --> 02:08:47,290
we are lacking what my relationship once more is with Limer County.

1386
02:08:47,930 --> 02:08:52,990
So if you want to call me a train for your staff, then let's start doing that proposal and

1387
02:08:52,990 --> 02:08:56,370
I'll put in my bid and my book for a training of staff only.

1388
02:08:56,370 --> 02:09:02,230
And then if you want me to book events, then I'll put in my, my bid in my book for that only.

1389
02:09:02,550 --> 02:09:08,370
If you want me to get sponsorship for your group, then I will put in my bid for that also.

1390
02:09:08,770 --> 02:09:12,270
If you want me to do your pro rodeo, I'll put in my bid for that also.

1391
02:09:12,730 --> 02:09:21,210
But the reason why the presentation has been a little bit scattered is because I'm coming in with a lot of expertise in a lot of areas that I can help you with being a new event center.

1392
02:09:21,710 --> 02:09:24,190
I'm coming in as a consultant for the overall picture.

1393
02:09:24,190 --> 02:09:29,810
If you want me to break it out and then we can send it out to other people to see if they'd like to do pieces as well

1394
02:09:29,810 --> 02:09:35,650
That would be fine with me, but at this point I don't know that you're going to find somebody that can do every piece

1395
02:09:35,650 --> 02:09:43,490
That I'm going to be able to do at one stop shop being a professional and a vigil with much expertise in many fields and many

1396
02:09:43,490 --> 02:09:48,490
Connections in those fields. I don't think that there's going to be many people fit this this market

1397
02:09:48,490 --> 02:09:56,550
But if you want to, that's fine, but we are closing our window on being able to do a self-denouncement at a large public event in Las Vegas.

1398
02:09:57,310 --> 02:09:59,970
I got publicist ready to rule as soon as-

1399
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:26,920
You guys say get up to start making this event center, no, so people are wanting to come to us to book. But if we want to wait a minute, make sure everybody's happy. I'm good with that, because I don't want to, I don't want anybody not wanting me to be there. So if you guys feel like you want to put it out, see if somebody else can do it. I don't care with that, but make sure that you make, they have to fit all the qualifications and or you're going to break them out into individual qualifications. That's the fair way to do it.

1400
02:10:26,920 --> 02:10:42,580
Yeah, I get what you're saying just so like on the 5,000 1,000 so basically just I think I'm understanding correctly like if you're at a book a big event like a like a USC fight, you'd expect like a commission of $5,000.

1401
02:10:42,600 --> 02:10:52,620
And if that's that event required you to be here to help facilitate and work with how many staff to make sure that it was a success you charged as a thousand dollars a day while you're on the ground.

1402
02:10:53,160 --> 02:10:57,340
Right, and so far, I'm Bonnie Flanks, the splice are expensive, so I've been providing.

1403
02:10:57,960 --> 02:10:58,120
Yeah.

1404
02:10:58,620 --> 02:10:58,760
Okay.

1405
02:10:59,260 --> 02:11:05,680
Well, again, I just think it's based on what you are giving us and talking to you and

1406
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:11,400
the people that have, like Mr. Edgar, that has experienced in these venues and the cost

1407
02:11:11,400 --> 02:11:13,880
and all the stuff that happens behind the scenes.

1408
02:11:13,880 --> 02:11:18,540
I honestly believe that we are getting a bargain, so that's my opinion, so.

1409
02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:20,200
Cody, I got a question.

1410
02:11:20,200 --> 02:11:25,320
And so are you planning on being exclusive to Lander County?

1411
02:11:25,600 --> 02:11:27,020
Will you be working with competitors?

1412
02:11:27,420 --> 02:11:28,880
Can we have a no-compete clause?

1413
02:11:30,120 --> 02:11:32,600
It was expressed to me that you guys want to know

1414
02:11:32,600 --> 02:11:34,640
compete clause with surrounding counties

1415
02:11:34,640 --> 02:11:38,020
being your local competitors, which I'm okay with.

1416
02:11:38,220 --> 02:11:40,560
I won't, I won't, let's keep going to that market

1417
02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:42,620
for the term of the contract.

1418
02:11:43,580 --> 02:11:47,380
But I do, do other events myself in multiple regions

1419
02:11:47,380 --> 02:11:49,560
of the country and as long as they aren't going to be

1420
02:11:49,560 --> 02:11:51,200
and your up competition with your market.

1421
02:11:51,900 --> 02:11:54,440
I don't see how that would be a problem.

1422
02:11:55,220 --> 02:11:56,100
Okay, thank you.

1423
02:11:57,540 --> 02:11:59,760
Okay, so is there any other comments or questions

1424
02:11:59,760 --> 02:12:00,240
on the item?

1425
02:12:01,180 --> 02:12:02,660
Okay, I'll open it up for a motion.

1426
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:06,080
And as Mr. McDonald stated that within that motion

1427
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:08,080
we need to make the determination

1428
02:12:08,600 --> 02:12:11,880
that we find it necessary for request proposal

1429
02:12:11,880 --> 02:12:14,820
or we find that it is a professional services contract.

1430
02:12:15,560 --> 02:12:17,260
So I will open it for a motion.

1431
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:25,520
I believe we can still have transparency with the professional services contract.

1432
02:12:26,600 --> 02:12:32,300
The only thing that, like I said, as far as me, I want to see the higher rate of insurance,

1433
02:12:32,940 --> 02:12:37,980
the general liability from 100,000 to a minimum of 1 million.

1434
02:12:38,220 --> 02:12:45,340
But I'd like to make a motion to approve a professional services contract for

1435
02:12:45,340 --> 02:12:51,260
codey fled and as discussed with the exception of the general liability insurance of being

1436
02:12:51,260 --> 02:12:52,960
one million minimum of one million dollars.

1437
02:12:53,220 --> 02:12:53,860
We'll have that corrected.

1438
02:12:54,580 --> 02:12:56,540
So okay, so we have a motion on the floor. Is there a second?

1439
02:12:57,160 --> 02:12:59,500
Also, okay, we have a motion in a second. All in favor say aye.

1440
02:13:00,960 --> 02:13:02,260
Thank you, codey.

1441
02:13:05,860 --> 02:13:06,720
Thank you, guys.

1442
02:13:06,880 --> 02:13:06,980
Yep.

1443
02:13:07,640 --> 02:13:17,040

02:15:48,840 --> 02:15:54,280
Cassidy management group doing business as McDonald's battle mountain to apply an overlay

1468
02:15:54,280 --> 02:16:01,600
and strike the parking lot located at 930 Royals Ranch Road okay so I think we

1469
02:16:01,600 --> 02:16:06,220
just have this on the last meeting correct and we didn't hear it okay yeah well we

1470
02:16:06,220 --> 02:16:12,040
did hear it we voted against it nobody was here yeah so we voted against it but

1471
02:16:12,040 --> 02:16:16,880
now we have somebody here all right thank you again for the record my name is

1472
02:16:16,880 --> 02:16:22,520
Jill Graham I'm in a county sports specialist or counting I'm sorry I'm really

1473
02:16:22,520 --> 02:16:28,460
nervous. For Cassidy Natagement Group, we own the McDonald's here in

1474
02:16:28,460 --> 02:16:29,020
Battle Mountain.

1475
02:16:31,280 --> 02:16:37,380
McDonald's has been in Battle Mountain since 1940 and we would

1476
02:16:37,380 --> 02:16:41,960
like the grant to help us redo our parking lot.

1477
02:16:44,610 --> 02:16:45,850
So can I ask you why you

1478
02:16:45,850 --> 02:16:50,470
didn't come last time? I'm sorry. How come nobody was here last time when this came

1479
02:16:50,470 --> 02:16:58,150
in front of us. So I'm going to be totally honest with you. We originally reached out to our

1480
02:16:58,150 --> 02:17:10,410
general manager here in Battle Mountain and she did not show. So I volunteered to come here.

1481
02:17:10,610 --> 02:17:18,470
I come here from Carson City, Nevada. So and I do apologize for that. We've learned a good lesson

1482
02:17:18,470 --> 02:17:20,670
like when you have something that needs to be done,

1483
02:17:20,890 --> 02:17:24,150
don't offend another people, just do it yourself.

1484
02:17:25,590 --> 02:17:27,270
And she didn't show up this time either.

1485
02:17:28,270 --> 02:17:29,670
No, she already said she wasn't,

1486
02:17:29,670 --> 02:17:32,710
in fact, I guess like off the record,

1487
02:17:33,010 --> 02:17:34,630
we have terminated her

1488
02:17:35,990 --> 02:17:39,130
because she had stated that she was here

1489
02:17:39,690 --> 02:17:41,790
and I found out that she really wasn't

1490
02:17:41,790 --> 02:17:43,890
so we termed her for dishonesty.

1491
02:17:49,190 --> 02:17:50,490
I'm curious how many other properties

1492
02:17:50,490 --> 02:17:58,030
Disgusting management management have you mean total everything they own now some more as far as on the McDonald's side

1493
02:17:58,030 --> 02:18:02,030
In McDonald's we own

1494
02:18:03,550 --> 02:18:04,670
16 McDonald's

1495
02:18:05,890 --> 02:18:08,290
Between Nevada and California

1496
02:18:10,880 --> 02:18:18,720
So I'm trying to pull it up here. It's it's being really slow, but I look that at the cost for this was it somewhere right under

1497
02:18:18,720 --> 02:18:20,380
70,000 from the whole project

1498
02:18:24,040 --> 02:18:25,160
Almost 65.

1499
02:18:25,600 --> 02:18:26,220
Oh, okay, 65.

1500
02:18:26,700 --> 02:18:33,260
So, who bears the cost of these, when you do these improvements, is it the franchise

1501
02:18:33,260 --> 02:18:36,560
E? Is it how much does corporate help assist?

1502
02:18:36,860 --> 02:18:39,700
Do they pick up the other in the 30,000?

1503
02:18:39,700 --> 02:18:41,180
That's not assist at all.

1504
02:18:41,500 --> 02:18:41,740
Okay.

1505
02:18:43,280 --> 02:18:48,240
So, basically, the owner of Cassidy Management Group, his name is Chris Cassidy.

1506
02:18:48,240 --> 02:18:51,280
He's the one who owns and operates the McDonald's.

1507
02:18:51,340 --> 02:18:54,760
He basically bears the cost of all of that.

1508
02:18:55,220 --> 02:18:55,460
Okay.

1509
02:18:55,960 --> 02:18:59,540
Just like he doesn't technically, he's a franchisee,

1510
02:18:59,640 --> 02:19:02,280
but like even like rent and stuff we pay for all of that.

1511
02:19:03,180 --> 02:19:04,340
Oucha, thank you.

1512
02:19:05,580 --> 02:19:08,160
This contractor that you're using to do the job,

1513
02:19:08,300 --> 02:19:10,460
are they a local, what I mean by that?

1514
02:19:10,660 --> 02:19:11,700
Are they a Nevada company?

1515
02:19:12,320 --> 02:19:13,680
They're located in Reno.

1516
02:19:13,680 --> 02:19:13,800
no?

1517
02:19:17,080 --> 02:19:20,500
Is there local services to do it? Is

1518
02:19:24,020 --> 02:19:26,720
contractors close? Yeah, do you know getting

1519
02:19:26,720 --> 02:19:33,460
insolicited? Yeah. Have you got any post from them? Um, that, um, I apologize. I do not

1520
02:19:33,460 --> 02:19:34,620
know. Um,

1521
02:19:36,680 --> 02:19:42,800
this was not the bid was not done by myself. Um,

1522
02:19:45,430 --> 02:19:52,590
sorry, I don't know what I said.

1523
02:19:52,590 --> 02:19:54,410
15, it's right here, it's 15.

1524
02:19:55,670 --> 02:19:57,130
15th, approximately 15.

1525
02:19:58,210 --> 02:19:59,850
It's an inch and a half overlay.

1526
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:10,080
Okay. Proximately 15 thousand square foot, ACT type three, half inch, PG. The mic concern would be if we're using taxpayers dollars to assist and

1527
02:20:10,080 --> 02:20:28,980
modify and make our talent better and help businesses that we solicit. Local companies that we have them that provide those services rather than going outside of our community, I just don't feel I just feel that would be proper. I don't know how you guys feel about that. But at least have them solicited. Right?

1528
02:20:28,980 --> 02:20:33,940
Okay, they might not be the lowest and if they're not, but at least the chance to give them to them.

1529
02:20:36,170 --> 02:20:50,530
I agree that I think, I mean, right now for me, if it's a table or a vote, no, I think that should be sought after in the local area.

1530
02:20:52,250 --> 02:20:59,510
I'd be kind of if the next one you called it in or presented the county manager with the bids that can be put on the next.

1531
02:21:00,530 --> 02:21:06,910
up coming to agenda, there'd be time, but I feel there's local ones that do it.

1532
02:21:07,090 --> 02:21:07,730
Mert, have we,

1533
02:21:09,980 --> 02:21:12,820
we haven't done, is it all out of Reno?

1534
02:21:13,200 --> 02:21:19,300
I mean, no, so we have a couple contractors, one is that a gardener bill that comes up and does some paving force,

1535
02:21:19,480 --> 02:21:25,640
but he's also paired in with Honeywell out of Winamaka, so they kind of, they work hand in hand, they're partners.

1536
02:21:26,840 --> 02:21:30,060
And is it the only bid that was sought, you know?

1537
02:21:30,060 --> 02:21:37,860
You know, once again, I apologize, my normal job is accounting, so this is totally out of my

1538
02:21:37,860 --> 02:21:38,280
problem.

1539
02:21:40,580 --> 02:21:46,360
I know Chris Cassidy, if you like, he is the one who got the bid. Other than that,

1540
02:21:46,580 --> 02:21:48,100
I apologize. That's all I know.

1541
02:21:52,460 --> 02:21:58,360
My feel is that we wait until there's a bid sought and we see them

1542
02:21:58,360 --> 02:22:04,040
I'm just to make sure I'm buying this up in our county and put the investment in it.

1543
02:22:04,260 --> 02:22:10,560
We're good there, but I would like some bids, and we've always asked it.

1544
02:22:10,900 --> 02:22:14,980
And that you're the only one that, you know, what in the area have we saw out?

1545
02:22:15,440 --> 02:22:16,640
Can I say something?

1546
02:22:16,860 --> 02:22:18,080
Sorry, I don't know how this works.

1547
02:22:19,140 --> 02:22:24,160
I do know from looking at different things that with this type of project,

1548
02:22:24,160 --> 02:22:32,200
It cannot be done during certain times of the year, so I know winter is coming up and

1549
02:22:32,200 --> 02:22:34,940
I usually ride around Halloween time kind of right around there.

1550
02:22:36,800 --> 02:22:43,480
So I mean there is, I don't want to say urgency, but there is some kind of a time limit when

1551
02:22:43,480 --> 02:22:47,780
this could be start because it has to be started and completed before winter comes.

1552
02:22:48,680 --> 02:22:52,200
It shows that your LLC is permanently revoked on 2018.

1553
02:22:52,880 --> 02:22:53,460
What what?

1554
02:22:54,040 --> 02:22:55,700
Cassie Management Group LLC.

1555
02:22:56,060 --> 02:22:56,400
Is that you?

1556
02:23:00,900 --> 02:23:08,140
Yes, but we are LLC was not we've been around for you know what I'm thinking and I'm sorry

1557
02:23:08,140 --> 02:23:09,080
I don't know the dates.

1558
02:23:09,580 --> 02:23:13,260
I know we are buying new McDonald's.

1559
02:23:13,280 --> 02:23:18,940
I know like in the last few years we bought two other McDonald's so I don't know but

1560
02:23:18,940 --> 02:23:27,320
But I would have to get back to you, I honestly, I don't know, like, I'm just about a Los

1561
02:23:27,320 --> 02:23:27,580
Vegas.

1562
02:23:28,140 --> 02:23:28,200
Yeah.

1563
02:23:28,340 --> 02:23:34,400
No, we are actually located in Carson City, not in, we've never been in Vegas.

1564
02:23:34,760 --> 02:23:35,680
It's a different group then.

1565
02:23:36,480 --> 02:23:38,700
And are you guys in, oh yeah, you are in the liability.

1566
02:23:39,680 --> 02:23:44,980
Yeah, it's sometimes a little difficult to get quotes as, you know, when we, when we

1567
02:23:44,980 --> 02:23:49,820
give these grants we like to see is it might not be battled out and so to speak, but

1568
02:23:49,820 --> 02:23:52,840
that's because, you know, supporting is local as we can.

1569
02:23:53,060 --> 02:23:57,940
So sometimes the best vendor might be the one you already have, but

1570
02:23:57,940 --> 02:24:01,920
we like to see at least that someone has gone out and done their homework and

1571
02:24:01,920 --> 02:24:08,180
looked under, and some places won't even bother getting back with the on quotes.

1572
02:24:08,540 --> 02:24:12,140
And that it's nice to hear that somebody's went out and sought a couple different

1573
02:24:12,140 --> 02:24:16,580
and try to get the best deal, you know, for everybody, so.

1574
02:24:17,200 --> 02:24:17,320
Absolutely.

1575
02:24:18,020 --> 02:24:20,940
When you're, you know, managing or your general manager,

1576
02:24:21,140 --> 02:24:25,500
someone should have, you know, gone and get several quotes for that.

1577
02:24:25,820 --> 02:24:27,060
And who's to say they haven't?

1578
02:24:27,400 --> 02:24:28,560
But we like to see those two.

1579
02:24:28,680 --> 02:24:31,280
Even if you're not even considering that quote,

1580
02:24:31,360 --> 02:24:34,140
even if somebody would have quoted you $75,000,

1581
02:24:34,660 --> 02:24:37,040
maybe someone quoted you fit, we like to see all those things.

1582
02:24:37,040 --> 02:24:40,440
Is it sure somebody went out and tried to get the best deal?

1583
02:24:41,280 --> 02:24:42,320
That's best value.

1584
02:24:43,420 --> 02:24:46,020
I'm sure that will be one of my new responsibilities.

1585
02:24:46,600 --> 02:24:46,980
Thank you.

1586
02:24:49,200 --> 02:24:58,660
Okay, so what did the, I have the board just, just a proof that it's going to be approached for a replaced bill.

1587
02:24:58,660 --> 02:24:59,960
No, the best is to-

1588
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:07,720
The table, we're just to table it and have them bad. If you really feel you need to.

1589
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:12,720
Because that's what we did for conferred in.

1590
02:25:16,060 --> 02:25:32,980
That's fine. Okay. All right. So we're just going to table this item and then you can go back and address whoever you need to address about our concerns and maybe getting some other quotes that are. So. These are videos.

1591
02:25:32,980 --> 02:25:38,880
tape so if you want to go back and see what you said or show others you'll be

1592
02:25:38,880 --> 02:25:45,240
able to get online and you can pick this up. Okay so for my understand I just want

1593
02:25:45,240 --> 02:25:48,300
to make sure that I understand because I said I'm super nervous.

1594
02:25:52,020 --> 02:25:52,920
It's being

1595
02:25:52,920 --> 02:25:58,160
tabled so I know there's not another meeting in and to expect there's one in

1596
02:25:58,160 --> 02:26:06,100
like a month, is that correct? If I can get a couple bids, or at least is there a certain

1597
02:26:06,100 --> 02:26:10,880
amount, like another bid, one bid, two bids, how many more bids, local bids are you looking for?

1598
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:15,480
Just so I understand, are you concerned for your own time scale or our time scale for this grant?

1599
02:26:15,620 --> 02:26:22,400
Um, kind more, this sounds more for ours, because otherwise it will have to be probably next

1600
02:26:22,400 --> 02:26:25,180
The next fiscal year is what I'm thinking.

1601
02:26:26,200 --> 02:26:28,320
That's why I'm trying to get an understanding.

1602
02:26:28,620 --> 02:26:30,160
I understand. It's a budgetary thing for you, yeah.

1603
02:26:30,760 --> 02:26:35,420
So, yeah, I mean, table until the next meeting.

1604
02:26:36,300 --> 02:26:40,180
If you have time, that gives you adequate time to reach out to contractors to get a bit or something on it.

1605
02:26:40,360 --> 02:26:42,160
So it's just, we're staying consistent.

1606
02:26:42,380 --> 02:26:48,260
We've always, we've always, because we're using tax, local taxpayers funds to fund these improvements,

1607
02:26:48,260 --> 02:26:52,840
that we always ask that you're bidding

1608
02:26:52,840 --> 02:26:56,540
and at least quoting local businesses to do these jobs.

1609
02:26:56,780 --> 02:26:58,540
And I don't see that on the backup information

1610
02:26:58,540 --> 02:27:00,540
that you did that, so that's all that we're asking,

1611
02:27:00,940 --> 02:27:04,060
that you do give them an opportunity if they're cheaper,

1612
02:27:04,280 --> 02:27:06,060
great, if they're not, and we understand.

1613
02:27:06,740 --> 02:27:07,780
That's what we're asking.

1614
02:27:08,440 --> 02:27:13,000
Okay, so just to kind of clarify, once I get these bids

1615
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:18,180
and submit them, then it would be at the next

1616
02:27:19,140 --> 02:27:28,620
meeting, October 8th, and do I reach out again to Shelby with that and just say

1617
02:27:28,620 --> 02:27:31,560
just include the new updates, I don't have to include the new package.

1618
02:27:31,900 --> 02:27:32,320
Yes, that's correct.

1619
02:27:32,860 --> 02:27:33,280
All right.

1620
02:27:34,080 --> 02:27:34,420
Thank you.

1621
02:27:34,600 --> 02:27:39,360
Do you have a business card with any contact information?

1622
02:27:40,100 --> 02:27:41,300
I do not.

1623
02:27:41,500 --> 02:27:47,500
I don't want to say just, I am the county support specialist and

1624
02:27:47,500 --> 02:27:52,040
And I handle all of the properties within Cassidy Management Group.

1625
02:27:52,480 --> 02:27:53,700
Thank you.

1626
02:27:54,620 --> 02:27:55,380
Thank you.

1627
02:27:55,460 --> 02:27:55,780
Thank you.

1628
02:27:57,100 --> 02:27:57,680
All right.

1629
02:27:58,080 --> 02:28:04,100
1.14 for discussion only regarding VLM brush clearing fire breaks within Latter County.

1630
02:28:04,940 --> 02:28:07,120
Do you have anybody from VLM to speak on it?

1631
02:28:07,840 --> 02:28:09,520
No, this was not a request from the VLM.

1632
02:28:09,680 --> 02:28:11,400
This was a request from a local concerned citizen.

1633
02:28:11,760 --> 02:28:12,060
Okay.

1634
02:28:12,320 --> 02:28:13,800
I didn't make it in today, so.

1635
02:28:17,660 --> 02:28:17,980
Okay.

1636
02:28:17,980 --> 02:28:25,820
Okay. So, nothing on that. We're going to 2.1 for discussion and possible action to approve this approved resolution.

1637
02:28:26,540 --> 02:28:32,600
2026-12 directing an apportionment of net proceeds received in the month of August, 2026.

1638
02:28:34,990 --> 02:28:40,630
Lake and Sullivan, for the record, this was just a small third distribution that we received for net proceeds.

1639
02:28:41,310 --> 02:28:44,510
Okay. And Bill, we don't need to read this resolution,

1640
02:28:44,510 --> 02:28:50,810
Do we? There was a time when we used to do that but I think we said it's part of the pack that we don't have to.

1641
02:28:51,050 --> 02:28:52,810
You don't need to read the whole resolution.

1642
02:28:52,970 --> 02:28:59,970
Okay, summarize it though, but I guess it just says that right, you've already done that.

1643
02:29:00,170 --> 02:29:02,170
It's for the Proceeds. Yeah, okay.

1644
02:29:02,370 --> 02:29:05,670
Okay, so is there any comments or questions on the item?

1645
02:29:06,250 --> 02:29:07,030
Okay, I'm going to hear a motion.

1646
02:29:07,390 --> 02:29:11,250
Motion to approve resolution 2026-12.

1647
02:29:11,250 --> 02:29:15,610
both directing the port of portion of net proceeds received in the month of August

1648
02:29:16,970 --> 02:29:18,030
236 as presented.

1649
02:29:18,470 --> 02:29:19,130
Okay, we have a motion.

1650
02:29:19,470 --> 02:29:19,910
We'll check in.

1651
02:29:19,930 --> 02:29:20,330
And a second.

1652
02:29:20,470 --> 02:29:20,910
I'll have every see.

1653
02:29:21,210 --> 02:29:21,350
Hi.

1654
02:29:22,910 --> 02:29:24,290
Of course, one is in future.

1655
02:29:24,870 --> 02:29:24,950
Yes.

1656
02:29:25,110 --> 02:29:26,570
I think we've got to go back to 113.

1657
02:29:28,110 --> 02:29:28,550
Oh, that's right.

1658
02:29:28,950 --> 02:29:29,890
I think we've got to go back to 113.

1659
02:29:29,890 --> 02:29:30,450
I think we've

1660
02:29:35,860 --> 02:29:35,860
got to go back to 113.

1661
02:29:35,860 --> 02:29:36,060
Oh, that's right.

1662
02:29:36,060 --> 02:29:36,240
Oh, yes.

1663
02:29:36,420 --> 02:29:36,880
Thank you for that.

1664
02:29:37,960 --> 02:29:38,560
Are they here?

1665
02:29:39,260 --> 02:29:42,600
So, 1.3 for discussion and possible action to approve.

1666
02:29:42,600 --> 02:29:56,460
We'll just prove the renewal and the airport hanger lease agreement between Lander County and Rick K. Harvest and Carly E. Harvest term will be August 27th, 2026 to September 30th, 2056.

1667
02:29:57,100 --> 02:29:57,820
30 years?

1668
02:29:58,420 --> 02:29:58,760
Yeah.

1669
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:08,880
So, like with the rodeo grounds and stuff, when they build pins and all that, if they're permanent structures, they have to stay there. You're going to let them tear the building down and take it with them.

1670
02:30:08,880 --> 02:30:22,500
No, so as hell this works with the airports, they typically build the structure, and if they leave they can remove the structure because they're red iron buildings, they can take them or they leave and it becomes a county's infrastructure.

1671
02:30:23,060 --> 02:30:24,320
They don't actually get to build a sport.

1672
02:30:25,000 --> 02:30:31,620
A lot of people will oftentimes put it up for sale and try to sell it to somebody else and then they just come in and update at least with us.

1673
02:30:48,920 --> 02:31:01,600
I don't know that that's, I've never heard that because a lot of pilots will store a vehicle of some sort in and then they'll just, or junk, you know, just, you know, just junk, you can, like your car, you're going to drive it when you fly in.

1674
02:31:01,600 --> 02:31:08,600
But you know, not to be used as dorsheds are for air traffic purposes, like some aviation of some sort.

1675
02:31:10,950 --> 02:31:16,670
So if this is like for 30 years, do they, can they subtly sit to announce someone else to ease out, you know?

1676
02:31:17,210 --> 02:31:25,830
I don't know if there's a sub leasing agreement or an office. It's it's it's his it's his structure. Typically it's salt. Yeah. Yeah, it's said no sub leasing.

1677
02:31:26,130 --> 02:31:33,050
It's one of the hurdles that we haven't we chose to stay away from down in Austin with their airport board.

1678
02:31:33,070 --> 02:31:36,290
Just because you have some of them, things that you're addressing here.

1679
02:31:36,350 --> 02:31:37,190
Yes, that's what.

1680
02:31:37,210 --> 02:31:39,030
The concerns that probably at some point need to be addressed.

1681
02:31:40,770 --> 02:31:41,170
Okay.

1682
02:31:41,830 --> 02:31:45,590
Is there any questions or comments on the item or the contract?

1683
02:31:46,190 --> 02:31:47,310
In 30 years as normal.

1684
02:31:48,130 --> 02:31:49,710
Yeah, for airports, it's pretty standard.

1685
02:31:50,490 --> 02:31:51,450
All right, I'll hear a motion.

1686
02:31:54,210 --> 02:31:54,750
Hi, motion.

1687
02:31:55,230 --> 02:31:56,330
Hold on, I'm going to get to it again.

1688
02:32:01,570 --> 02:32:02,150
Hi, motion.

1689
02:32:02,310 --> 02:32:06,550
We approve the lease agreement between Lander County and Richard K. Harlis and

1690
02:32:06,550 --> 02:32:13,910
and Carla Evarles, term to be August 27th, 2026 to September 30th, 2026.

1691
02:32:14,450 --> 02:32:14,810
I'll second.

1692
02:32:14,910 --> 02:32:15,310
We have a motion.

1693
02:32:15,570 --> 02:32:15,750
Second.

1694
02:32:15,970 --> 02:32:16,570
All in favor say aye.

1695
02:32:17,870 --> 02:32:18,170
All right.

1696
02:32:19,350 --> 02:32:19,990
Moving on.

1697
02:32:20,070 --> 02:32:22,090
A course one is in future agenda items.

1698
02:32:23,630 --> 02:32:24,930
We have anything on that?

1699
02:32:25,490 --> 02:32:26,350
Not for me.

1700
02:32:26,890 --> 02:32:29,170
I won't be here at the October 8th meeting.

1701
02:32:29,370 --> 02:32:30,930
I will try to be online.

1702
02:32:30,930 --> 02:32:37,250
So we have two meetings in October and are we planning typically, historically, we usually

1703
02:32:37,250 --> 02:32:38,890
have one meeting in November 1 in December?

1704
02:32:39,110 --> 02:32:43,750
Is that still kind of the idea on the plan that we're looking at or what do you guys like

1705
02:32:43,750 --> 02:32:47,030
us to put something on that agenda that falls close to the holidays?

1706
02:32:47,490 --> 02:32:47,610
Yes.

1707
02:32:47,890 --> 02:32:49,210
To rearrange that meeting?

1708
02:32:49,390 --> 02:32:50,450
So at least we can discuss it.

1709
02:32:50,730 --> 02:32:50,890
Okay.

1710
02:32:51,350 --> 02:32:51,410
Yeah.

1711
02:32:52,730 --> 02:32:53,570
December 3.

1712
02:32:54,810 --> 02:32:55,490
Oh, it's not.

1713
02:32:55,750 --> 02:32:56,450
It's Christmas Eve.

1714
02:32:56,810 --> 02:32:56,990
November.

1715
02:32:57,750 --> 02:32:57,870
Yeah.

1716
02:32:58,530 --> 02:33:02,390
Yeah, the commission meeting in November is the 26th of the day before Black Friday.

1717
02:33:05,630 --> 02:33:23,830
All right, is it keeping Shime on the grants for the youth sports and that, that we put some guidelines in for next year when they're requesting to give some guidelines to say this is, you know, like we bought the pitching machines.

1718
02:33:23,830 --> 02:33:40,170
It means definitely, it can benefit any family and battle mount that to put some guidelines to, you know, trophies and that to where we've done it more verbally, that to have some guidelines when they're requesting these funds to say, hey, you know, here's what we're looking for, you know.

1719
02:33:40,170 --> 02:33:52,850
Yeah, we have some guidelines I would say we can do that all during the budgeting process and try to narrow people into that to where we are as loose on that end of it, but we do have, we do have some guidelines.

1720
02:33:53,530 --> 02:33:55,450
Can we bring them up and review them and see that?

1721
02:33:58,010 --> 02:34:00,610
Okay, any more on first ones for future tonight?

1722
02:34:01,430 --> 02:34:05,810
We have an update on the, you feel we're ready for an update on the rail yard?

1723
02:34:06,510 --> 02:34:11,510
Yeah, they're, uh, well, I think that you get, um, we're about ready to break ground.

1724
02:34:11,570 --> 02:34:12,510
We can give you an update on that.

1725
02:34:12,650 --> 02:34:12,870
You bet.

1726
02:34:13,150 --> 02:34:14,970
If that's, is that what you're asking for?

1727
02:34:15,070 --> 02:34:15,870
Not for a ground break.

1728
02:34:15,990 --> 02:34:16,810
You know, okay.

1729
02:34:17,730 --> 02:34:21,870
I was thinking if we were the same thing with the events in our, we started to where we're

1730
02:34:21,870 --> 02:34:27,130
starting to get interest in industry or, you know, renters and stuff like that that, you

1731
02:34:27,130 --> 02:34:28,510
know, are definitely looking.

1732
02:34:28,510 --> 02:34:35,190
I think that would be off of Jerry's statement, you know, as we get that stuff.

1733
02:34:35,190 --> 02:34:40,950
that should show the transparency and show the investment is paying off.

1734
02:34:41,250 --> 02:34:43,810
Okay, yeah, we can look into that.

1735
02:34:43,890 --> 02:34:46,150
Okay, any more on correspondence in future agenda items?

1736
02:34:47,290 --> 02:34:47,710
Okay.

1737
02:34:49,610 --> 02:34:51,930
We'll move into public comment for none agenda items.

1738
02:34:52,090 --> 02:34:52,870
Is there any public comment?

1739
02:34:53,290 --> 02:34:54,790
I do have some public comment.

1740
02:34:54,890 --> 02:34:59,850
I want to commend Mikey and the EMSF to bring aircraft into battlemountain.

1741
02:35:00,210 --> 02:35:30,050
And have the ability to transport patients out of here instead of waiting over an hour for an aircraft to get here and then and then load a patient and get them out within 30 minutes there on their way or they can be in the air headed for Austin or wherever they need to go. I think that's that's pretty amazing. They aren't just putting their feet up and taking patients as they come there. They're trying to make the system better for the whole community and and send from about a really so. I want to thank you guys. I really appreciate it. Good job, guys.

1742
02:35:32,130 --> 02:35:34,210
Okay, I have one more thing.

1743
02:35:35,570 --> 02:35:42,330
With our community investment this weekend, I do know that silver cup races are at the

1744
02:35:42,330 --> 02:35:42,810
racetrack.

1745
02:35:43,530 --> 02:35:49,110
I have been attending and the attendance Friday has been slow a little bit lower.

1746
02:35:49,990 --> 02:35:51,270
Last two have been weather.

1747
02:35:52,170 --> 02:35:58,690
Saturday, there is a lot of people in the stands, a lot of them racers do go to the motels.

1748
02:35:59,750 --> 02:36:04,710
there will be a lot of cars this weekend. They've done a good job. So it's just

1749
02:36:04,710 --> 02:36:09,310
want to put it out there and said the attendance is it's been a good investment

1750
02:36:09,310 --> 02:36:16,350
exactly what we asked for so it's good. Any more public comment for none of the

1751
02:36:16,350 --> 02:36:22,850
end times? Yes. All right. All right. Any more public comment?

1752
02:36:25,950 --> 02:36:26,810
Okay. I'll hear

1753
02:36:26,810 --> 02:36:27,090
Okay.

1754
02:36:27,370 --> 02:36:27,870
On the table.

1755
02:36:27,990 --> 02:36:28,590
All right.
