[11:40] um it's 8 30 on [11:47] it's 8 30 on wednesday [11:53] january 19th and first [12:04] [Music] and to the republic for which it stands [12:09] one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all [12:21] we will have minutes [12:25] uh i didn't see anything [12:30] so i'll make a motion to approve the minutes from december [12:34] 15 2021. i'll check on that motion [12:42] um public input public comments and discussion no action may be taken on a [12:47] matter raised under this item of the agenda until the matter [12:52] itself has been specifically included on an agenda [12:55] as an item in which the action will be taken public commentary will be [13:00] generally limited three minutes to person [13:02] are there any public comments i have a public comment [13:07] anybody on zoom [13:12] although one public comment there's nobody [13:16] oh okay oh did i go can go forward [13:20] in last week's paper there was a letter to the editor [13:25] and it said no county maintenance on highway 400. [13:30] this individual apparently did not look into [13:35] anything about facts other than he stated george washington stuff [13:43] maybe that's fact i don't know anyway he says uh [13:49] state highway 400 is finally clear of ice [13:53] no thanks to the county commissioners and the road crews of persian county [13:57] state highway uh 400 in that area is a state a state [14:03] highway just as he says yes it's not maintained by the county it's maintained [14:08] by the state uh he goes on to uh you know lack of [14:13] maintenance he blames the commissioners again [14:17] and he is so far off base [14:21] he's apparently [14:25] not a very long term local person and uh he [14:31] doesn't know what he's talking about well the road through in our in our [14:35] county does a fantastic job at maintaining the roof they go above and [14:39] beyond and it is my understanding that here's the gentleman that works for you [14:44] and emily jerry [14:47] he went out there and plowed the road for indot [14:51] but and my question because i was this was a concern was did anybody contact [14:56] him and ask him to contact indock with his concerns about state road state [15:01] route 400. right so i googled his name [15:07] i've got a phone number but it's disconnected it doesn't [15:11] yeah okay [15:14] we tried phone calls [15:22] published a letter that is [15:37] [Music] as far as i'm concerned [15:42] but uh you know and also i [15:44] i don't want to disparage it but yes but ironically enough [15:49] whenever we pass through that way which we do on our way to our roads we plow [15:54] that road clouds and yeah not probably not as [15:59] diligently as we do our own roads but we make sure as best we can coming and [16:04] going for state partners as we do [16:32] is the same as mr wilbar [16:58] but other than that you know and then i think one time [17:02] jerry went through with the blade and probably didn't come back so the top of [17:06] one lane you know and then by the time he would have broke it back out of there [17:12] well this really upset me because i know how [17:18] how our county maintains the roads and they do the best they can [17:22] and if he's going to make accusations like [17:26] this then he needs to get his back straight exactly [17:30] call him [17:38] [Music] [17:43] secretary said you've [17:47] [Music] [17:58] thank you are there any more public comments [18:12] um a review of the agenda items to determine if they do or do not impose a [18:18] direct and significant economic burden on [18:21] businesses or directly restrict the formation operation or expansion of a [18:25] business i see nothing and i don't either so i'll make a motion [18:29] to that effect you know a second second all in favor aye all right [18:36] item number four classified departments [18:40] road department [18:45] [Music] [18:50] um i don't think we had any snow since we talked last maybe it was winding up [18:56] but uh oh we have a blade out this way still [18:59] galen's still out there making progress headed towards the limbo [19:03] rams we finished trinity pass road for which uh helps [19:07] see punch get their head at market basically [19:12] and then you know you don't [19:15] you can't start blade until the falls out so that's [19:17] been around 9 10 a.m so caleb's been hauling sand up the core for me [19:22] meantime so we got that about them they've been through quite a bit during [19:26] some snowstorms and i might add well we're talking about [19:31] that we uh we went and got more salt we we went through about half our pile [19:36] which is amazing we haven't gone through that sand like that in forever so uh we [19:41] went and got more sand actually got our uh [19:44] our cdl training some some driving time we drove over went to the salt flat [19:50] anyway so and then they haul sand to the yard so [19:53] they give some more help we uh go for cdl test monday [19:58] to monday yeah so it looks like the weather held so that's [20:01] good inhale and then out east here bill and [20:06] kevin uh they were in dixie valley [20:10] finished that unfortunately we were parked out there and our blades got [20:14] vandalized uh last tuesday well rob they uh they we just put [20:19] batteries in our one of the newer blades two batteries they got the batteries [20:25] all the lights and uh [20:27] the horn they still don't want to have a cabin [20:31] so anyhow uh between the two vehicles it comes to [20:34] about 600 bucks so uh not enough to really put it [20:38] in for a claim for insurance today so anyhow we we do have a report with the [20:44] sheriff's office and stuff but uh no so now we're having to uh [20:49] always to half hour a day take it to the nearest ranch so they won't get robbed [20:54] so that's a problem but that's what it is [20:57] anyhow so now they're they're uh working through the suit [21:00] hills back towards this way they'll be headed towards the vessel ranch [21:05] probably will be next week [21:08] mother worker jacob he's been practicing for cbl as i'm saying [21:14] i think they're ready they're there's ready [21:17] that was sent down there so that's good imaging [21:20] jason james no jason's had a cdl with just a class b [21:24] so he's going to have a class that way [21:26] he can haul equipment or whatever i need them to do if i [21:30] need somebody which a lot of times i do you know if the other guys are out [21:34] blaming whatever um grass valley area robert's up there he's [21:39] uh doing a pretty good job late he's i had him out grass valley road of course [21:44] he could have kept going but uh all the inside roads [21:48] uh around the subdivision uh herschel road vandis they all need [21:53] play they'll they go ahead with all that snow you [21:56] know unfortunately uh he's up there he's [22:00] plowing the paved roads by the time he gets to to the gravel roads the snow's [22:04] already melted damages ideally you get it off them but we just [22:08] don't have enough help so [22:11] they all suffice to say [22:14] if anyone's complaining tell them that we're we're on our way [22:18] do the best we can with one man and one blade up there like it everywhere else [22:23] um uh some reason i didn't write jerry down [22:26] but anyhow jerry's uh made it clear to the county line going towards jungle [22:32] which is a good thing i don't think we got the whole thing done last year so [22:35] that's awesome now he's heading his way back to him and he'll probably get to [22:39] emily today on the callahan road major mode and then uh [22:44] off to uni bill will be going i guess it's really rough so that's next um [22:51] about cover so guys me i've been uh met with bryce for the haas deal [22:57] contracts up for home or [23:00] from transfer sites talked to him about nevada see man [23:05] been riding with the cdo guys i'm going to have time i went to the [23:10] lapsy meeting i mixed up all that salt and sand helped [23:14] haul the salt actually called some sand to roll with [23:17] jason so i [23:20] went up to grass valley a couple times checking on roads and whatnot i want to [23:24] have a look at ursula for myself see what uh robert's been up against [23:29] he's been stuck a couple times yeah we got asked to plow out spaulding [23:34] yesterday and we had some grief up there he broke a chain [23:39] inhale we're going back a couple days he broke a chain broke a window [23:45] the chain broke broke his window so flew up in hitler yeah so [23:50] we're gonna get his window fixed for me and go back [23:53] and i've been working on budgets [23:56] that's pretty much the road report [24:01] more of that [24:16] garage door and the amount of two thousand seven forty seven dollars [24:20] eighty cents from building funds [24:25] and yeah and on you're gonna do them one at [24:29] a time yeah [24:31] so i would make a motion to approve that so [24:37] green we have monies left in the building fund for the garage door at the [24:41] road that's 40 000 for emergency emergencies [24:46] by commissioner authorization and when dan asked me that's what i told [24:50] them to get it on the agenda [24:53] you can have you guys saying so i'll second the motion [24:58] that's been moved and seconded all in favor all right [25:01] greatly appreciate it thank you you skipped thanks [25:07] so that is the yes yes yes [25:11] there's some approval to go out to bid for mad fluoride [25:17] and i would make that motion to approve that and i'll second [25:22] all in favor aye [25:27] um also there is the november 2021 to november 2024 [25:35] agreement with nevada cement [25:47] and i will make that motion and i'll second quickly second all in [25:51] favor [25:56] landfill and recycling hello landfill we're working with costs [26:01] uh we have a uh [26:07] we can extend the car the current contract with them so we're working [26:10] through that right now we're probably hoping to do that [26:14] um they asked for a pretty significant [26:16] increase in costs so price is working through that right [26:20] now see where that leads i have a question [26:24] about this we have [26:28] two transfer sites or three transfers and we have two roll-offs at each site [26:34] so how many i've heard that haas is bringing more than [26:39] six containers in oh yeah [26:42] yeah grass valley they're they have to uh what they do is uh they change them [26:48] out and store a couple in the yard because they [26:50] don't have that many or don't have time to haul [26:53] them at that time so they'll bring uh i think the guy brings six [26:58] on uh wednesday he'll make two trips triples and then a couple more on [27:03] saturdays when it when it's busy yeah comes through saturday and sunday yeah [27:07] yeah yeah and then some signals so that yeah and [27:11] then emily's usually two a week um [27:15] if i'd known you we can ask that i would have had some some [27:18] solid figures for me because i just went through that um to get a cost estimate [27:23] but uh all i can say is they've been doing a [27:26] good job with heck and that you guys know when the [27:29] the previous year we had tons of complaints grass valley overflowing and [27:33] stuff and apparently they have a guy that's doing a good job now he's on top [27:37] of it and uh they're hauling like they're [27:40] supposed to and that's why they're so many but yeah it could absolutely be [27:44] more than six a week just just from the [27:50] us just doing that getting our own truck hiring a person and [27:55] because we have the three they wouldn't necessarily have to be out doing that [28:01] you know every day they can help out at the landfill the [28:04] recycling center um and i'm not sure what a truck costs [28:08] but it might if they've raised their their rates it might pay for itself in a [28:13] couple of years when i first started i was all gung-ho [28:16] on that carol and uh just lost traction i like looked into it [28:21] it's uh it's gonna cost about uh i think at the time half a million to [28:27] get get in business get a truck all the bins and stuff and [28:32] then hire getting somebody to do that job hiring that truck driver that person [28:36] that's going to go do that i think it's a that's a tall order i i [28:41] i didn't think it was that much so yeah [28:44] but yeah yeah at the price that they're one yeah you [28:48] could probably i'm sure we could uh i don't know if it pins as well i'd have [28:54] to do some research i just wanted to throw that out oh yeah [28:58] because we're going to go into budgets and yep [29:02] because man yeah it's lit so now we're budgeted 90 [29:06] 000 and they want to they want to we're going to burn through that [29:09] we're going to go over that and then they want fifty percent more [29:13] okay say then yeah you know 180 000. [29:19] so it might be time to relate yeah look you look at that yeah [29:24] that's but like i said do it trying to hire another truck driver and [29:29] be in charge of a whole another facet with a [29:33] job i don't know it's a lot but [29:36] definitely to be looked at if you want if you wouldn't mind because [29:41] like i said we're coming into budgets maybe it's time to to look at that [29:45] what's more economical in the long run for the [29:48] county yeah oh yeah well we're talking about those [29:51] uh both sites on my trip to grass valley [29:55] stopped in emily and uh it needed cleaned up and so did uh grass valley [29:59] and they and they did that over this past weekend did a nice job [30:03] mirror belted same pictures of course and they always have whenever we ask [30:10] especially the last last six eight months they've done a really good job [30:18] [Music] hire um advertise and hire a vacant [30:23] landfill operator preposition you lost one again yes ma'am [30:28] king kite he said he loves the job loves working [30:31] with everyone it's been really good but he's moving he just wants to move he's [30:37] just [Music] [30:41] i'll make a motion to go ahead and advertise and hire [30:44] the vacant landfill operator position second [30:48] i've [31:02] they really liked them up there yeah yeah it's a bummer [31:09] yeah and wrong i didn't mention robert cleaned up the grass valley transfer [31:13] site one day last week [31:16] pushed up the bird oh did the burn pile uh [31:20] just got it cleaned up too and he circled back that afternoon someone [31:23] dumped garbage in it [31:26] but we got a name and uh happened to be related to [31:30] [Music] [31:44] small world [31:52] questions thank you [32:06] [Music] buildings and grounds [32:10] update on facility maintenance and repairs [32:19] good morning since our last meeting my guys have been [32:23] spending quite a few a few days over at the jail [32:27] doing some maintenance on various things over there [32:32] we tried looking at the gate and couldn't [32:34] really we don't know enough about mechanical [32:37] gates or electrical gates to do maintenance on [32:40] it so i hold the company that usually does it for us [32:44] they did it then we had to replace some vents [32:48] in the gel in the cells and also like some screws and the lights that [32:52] keep disappearing [32:56] so we'll be doing just a regular [32:59] maintenance around here doing lots of projects for all the different [33:02] departments [33:08] been busy getting ready to get on for uh we had the youth [33:13] softball is going to be starting up a couple weeks [33:15] so i've got restrooms ordered for fall fields you're signing up for [33:20] yourself absolutely keep all my knees [33:26] we got stuff getting ready to go out there so we're going to start working on [33:30] get the restrooms ordered they'll be out there [33:33] but we won't be opening up our building until weather [33:36] commits yeah and one of the maintenance issues [33:42] that we're dealing with over there is the hard water at the jail yeah [33:47] it is just it's [33:50] this is really destroying that building i mean where there was copper [33:55] um even just even their appliances that they use there's hard waters [34:00] ruining your stuff as well [34:05] and they already have a software but it's just [34:08] it's burning itself out it [34:11] wasn't designed to go through the amount of [34:14] water that's being pushed to that building on a regular basis [34:23] so where is the funding going to come from for this [34:27] maintenance [Music] [34:42] water softener [34:57] i'll make that much [35:06] um john and i were having a conversation i [35:10] said earlier this week last week [35:15] um about the propane bills for the emily community [35:20] center senior center [35:27] have you seen those rain [35:42] yeah is was the rate the same [35:45] per gallon i i don't actually see the bill i decided oh okay because i don't [35:49] know if the rate was right [35:53] i didn't even yeah i didn't even notice i was just shell shocked by the amount [35:56] of the propane and i'm not even sure who's even in [36:01] using the building well i contacted jamie and she said that they [36:05] when it's not in use to have it set down to 55 she didn't know why it would have [36:10] been so much but without knowing the rate how much if the rate [36:15] went up and also what the gallon usage is but [36:20] they are having events there i'm sure um you mentioned a spaghetti dinner that [36:26] yeah and and [36:30] who's who do they notify when they're going to [36:32] use that building jamie and [36:36] her sister or whatever they take care of [36:40] you know [36:42] that building somewhat like um [36:46] whatever i forgot her name um our community center person does but um [36:52] you know i we don't have any list from them [36:56] and so that's john says he remembers that i don't [36:59] remember there used to be where they would come in and let us know that [37:02] you're in advance if the school is going to use it for the preschool [37:06] or commodities use that pity goes out there [37:10] yeah once or twice a month and she's letting us know when she's [37:13] going to be out there they used to be pretty common for that to happen just [37:16] hasn't happened in the last few years it's kind of hard for me to have things [37:23] for them if i put things out there and i know nobody's out there they're using it [37:27] then how do i know that i need to replace or anything so do you want them [37:31] to send you a schedule weekly monthly would be good okay or weekly if [37:37] because things change but that's what i need to know and then [37:41] i can tell them that do they need to send it to anybody else or john to the [37:45] commissioners as well just so everybody's aware of what's going on out [37:48] there okay all right i can do that because they get in touch with me all [37:53] the time and that's because i used to help out with the humanly [37:57] advisory board and and all of that you know and i don't know what i kind of [38:02] inherited [38:08] they had a luncheon there which i saw on facebook [38:13] um after a catholic mass which was fine but [38:17] you know she didn't even mention that when i asked her about events you know [38:22] so well when people i think it's great that [38:25] they're used to that i think it's awesome [38:30] but it's kind of it's imperative especially for budgeting if you're going [38:33] to use it exactly how to accommodate they used to also charge a [38:39] fee that not a very big one it was just you [38:42] know maybe 25 or something that they would then send to read but i don't [38:47] think that's happened in years either so i'll get a hold of jesus we need to [38:53] go back to that um because we charge a fee here at this [38:58] community center and and charging a fee would help with the [39:04] propane propane bill yeah and they need to let john know so that [39:09] if there's supplies needed out there that that he [39:14] has been out there [39:18] up until i started getting these stuff by one person i knew that was out [39:22] there that uses that on a consistent basis was [39:25] the deputy and he he turns the thermostat up when [39:29] he's in there then turns it down and he leaves [39:32] so that was the only and then you brought up something about [39:36] them requesting the stove be fixed [39:40] no i asked him about the stone and he said it works fine [39:45] um a long time ago they said and this was years ago and but i haven't [39:49] heard any recent complaints but i hadn't just asked john they didn't [39:54] mention [39:59] a long time ago but it's a you know it's it's a working stove it's a it's a [40:03] commercial commercial stuff it's just not the west it's not as big [40:07] as our food here but it is there um again if they let me [40:12] know you know if there's something out there [40:14] i go out there right away or within a couple of days [40:18] um pending what's going on around here to check things out to make sure [40:22] everything's working but i've never heard [40:26] years that's why it's kind of throughout when i've seen that [40:38] and i'll find out what they're doing or not doing [40:41] about the fee because i think they just stopped it for some reason [40:46] we had a motion in a second for the softener but i don't know if we ever [40:49] approved [41:03] [Music] [Laughter] [41:11] as far as i know i have been randomly stopping by the community [41:15] center before i come into my office in the mornings checking it to make sure [41:18] everything's been cleaned the only thing that i've noticed that's different is [41:22] myron's storage shelf that he used to have in there he had shelving that he [41:26] had his cleaning supplies his supplies are no longer there [41:30] oh senior center i think you said come [41:33] sorry that's okay um [41:37] the kitchen staff has put their stuff there i would just request that they put [41:41] their stuff in the pantry where it used to be so byron can keep his cleaning [41:44] materials cannot be stored in a pantry [41:50] [Music] [42:01] work with giselle on that so that myron has [42:06] room for his supplies and the center has room for their supplies [42:13] i think everything's been going fine [42:21] and thank you for following up on that [Music] [42:25] anything else [42:30] fire extinguisher at emily its tag wasn't updated or whatever [42:36] they're getting replaced uh this week okay okay so it's it'll be resolved [42:57] okay that's the first we have a salary resolution for [43:01] maria [43:10] minas and [43:22] from a seventeen three to seventeen seven [43:29] and that will make her salary equal to the other cooks [43:34] so when is that effective it says three months so is it january 11 [43:39] or what date is this going to be [43:48] the next payroll [44:07] okay so i'll make the motion to approve um the salary resolution effective [44:11] january 11th 2022 from uh 1703 to 1707. [44:19] and all second demonstrations [44:25] uh discussion of policy requiring unvaccinated employees and volunteers [44:29] who work with the veteran populists to submit to weekly coveted [44:34] testing and [44:36] wearing a mask and other precautionary measures at work why is that on okay [44:42] he put this on the senior center because i'll put it all i'll explain i put it on [44:49] here for discussion and i guess guidance [44:53] uh so [44:56] just a little bit of back history one of our employees husband [45:01] uh came down with covid [45:07] and of course a couple days later the employee [45:12] tested positive when the husband tested positive we had [45:17] every volunteer and employee in the building [45:22] go do testing everybody else came back negative [45:28] so i mean what do you do my first thing was [45:34] and bryce didn't like this my first thing was if you are going to [45:39] work in a facility with elderly people like that [45:46] vaccine is required that didn't go very far [45:50] so my next thing was is if you work in a facility like that [45:55] you work with the seniors uh [45:59] you come down with covert you're tested positive [46:03] if you don't have a job don't come back and the reason i i'm saying this and and [46:07] the reason that i believe this is you gotta think about the people you're [46:12] working around uh they don't [46:16] of the five employees that are there full time [46:21] one is vaccinated the other four are not [46:26] so then we came up this is between bryce [46:29] and i and i've talked to jerry allen about it [46:32] since too is for the unvaccinated employees [46:39] that are working around the seniors [46:43] weekly testing so they come to work on [46:48] on a monday they have to do we have to do the test [46:52] in the jail atmosphere what they're doing [46:55] over there is when the inmate comes in they have to test them so they have the [47:01] rapid tests that they do there i asked jerry how that process works he [47:07] said they do it in-house i guess that's a simple thing now [47:13] and it costs 24 each [47:18] we don't have that in our budget so what do we do [47:25] is there any money in a budget to do that kind of stuff right [47:29] not unless you would take it out of the american company [47:34] there is no more covered money [47:41] yeah in this in this last instance where [47:45] both the husband and the man and the and the wife our employee tested positive [47:51] she was off last week and she was is off this week she has a doctor's uh [47:56] clearance to come back monday uh [48:01] did she and [48:03] and i don't think this is the right answer but did she [48:08] expose other people before she found out she [48:11] was positive i don't know well the one thing about testing though [48:17] is you can be negative and then the next day you're positive [48:22] or there's also false negatives and false positives [48:26] um are they [48:29] anyone working in the senior center i know the volunteers were wearing ass i [48:35] went for lunch a week or so ago and it was really great [48:38] but um are they wearing masks then [48:42] all the time the workers and the volunteers [48:46] the that if they're in serving food they're they're [48:51] wearing masks other than that [48:54] the cooks aren't well they can't wear one it cooks [48:57] the cooks don't have a lot of contact with they don't [49:04] so um i would think that if your volunteers that have contact with the [49:10] seniors and even [49:12] your bus drivers and [49:18] i think that's i mean [49:21] i think that's the best we can do really and my thing there is especially [49:27] if they're not vaccinated [49:31] correct [49:34] could you do the screening steps [49:40] what's that the temperatures and stuff like that [49:43] like no we used to do that on everybody coming in and when uh the covert thing [49:49] kind of relax and stuff uh [49:52] they don't do that anymore what about your employees yeah [49:55] do you have your employees it's there for them to do i don't know that they do [50:00] that for employees and maybe that's something we should do [50:03] is make sure well to the temperature the temperature check [50:08] and and just if they're around the seniors [50:12] for the employees and the volunteers that's i mean that's a good idea yeah [50:16] yeah so i think that's the best we can do and [50:19] and if they're not feeling well they shouldn't be at work they shouldn't be [50:23] there okay i i will relay that information [50:32] okay um [50:36] that's it uh version county fire ambulance [50:44] [Music] [50:48] yeah i'm on can you guys hear me [50:52] yeah um actually i'm still on vacation uh richie and is uh heading up our [51:00] department right now um i have talked to him a little bit everything's going fine [51:05] um we do as the as the lovelock volunteer fire department dues [51:11] to have some concerns about um [51:16] the grass valley i mean not the grass valley but the rye patch area where um [51:21] they're not being able to have people there to respond to calls [51:27] and uh i mean we respond respond no matter what up there [51:31] but um i don't know if they they're [51:35] down on people out there or everybody's gone [51:38] but they seem to be [51:41] have to respond [51:44] all the time rodney what to do [51:48] rodney when was the the last one and how many [51:52] of those have we experienced [51:56] i can't tell you how many it is but i could go back and research that or or [52:01] the or we can get that done but the most recent one was uh yesterday or day [52:06] before we had a call out there for a fire and uh they did not respond [52:11] hello fire whistle go off yesterday that's [52:14] what that was for uh yeah so anyhow i'm just concerned about [52:21] um you know we're going to go you [52:24] you want you you want to spend a bunch of money on a firehouse out there for an [52:28] addition i think it's like 250 000 and uh maybe we should be looking at um [52:36] getting the equipment down to the size of the amount of people that are out [52:40] there what they do need to use because we respond to everything that happens [52:43] out there anyhow with our group and uh so do we really need a bigger firehouse [52:48] or do we just need to have the equipment that they can [52:51] that they can run to uh to the calls like one brush truck [52:55] their structured truck and a tanker i don't know do we need do we need more [53:00] equipment and a bigger firehouse [53:06] i think we'll have that discussion in a chief's meeting [53:10] i have a quick question starting the right patch fire department too if we [53:15] have no activity going out there why is the county still paying personal [53:21] there is a um i think it's a suspension or some [53:27] type of form that we can use with hers if they're not active we can deactivate [53:32] those members and not pay hers on them yeah it's [53:37] i was going to bring this up in budgets when we start doing workshops next month [53:42] or in two months but that clearly i think i know this city [53:48] did do that on some of theirs that were impacted they pulled them out of hers [53:52] and then when they reactivated it [54:08] and mostly it's uh somebody they're at work or they're just not available [54:16] um when they are down to arizona for the [54:20] three or four months and they're not here at all [54:26] rodney i will find out why this question the thing is you know we [54:31] we're we've been talking about a new ambulance that we you know that we have [54:37] you know that we should be replacing and you know we don't have the money for [54:40] it and we want to hire a person to run the ems part of it [54:45] matt and uh i think [54:48] instead the ambulance being at the bottom of that that um [54:52] list of the things that you're going to do with that money that we maybe we [54:56] should move that ambulance up and and uh reassess that [55:01] building you know if you put if you add on to that going [55:04] to have more maintenance and stuff too if we add more equipment you have more [55:08] maintenance and you know how many people do you have there to run all that [55:12] equipment maybe we need to get it down to where the [55:15] the equipment matches the mount [55:19] so rodney you bring up a really good point and that's something that we'll [55:22] have to address yeah [55:25] so anyhow i just wanted to bring that up i mean [55:28] actually lovelock's the only one that the county doesn't have [55:33] i mean we basically [55:36] um are in with the city on the firehouse we have right now [55:40] and uh we keep our equipment down to what we can keep inside you know and and [55:45] the amount of people that we have to run it and [55:48] so i'm just kind of i'm concerned about it the way that money is going to be [55:52] shifted around there and i don't know i think we really need to look at that and [55:56] i think another thing we need to look at is the uh [56:00] is getting into the districts and that so [56:04] mike keeps telling us that we have to just qualify for a lot of these grants [56:08] we need to be upgrading into some of that stuff i [56:12] think mike's on the on right now too maybe he can give you a little [56:15] information on um you know we've talked and talked about it but we you know we [56:19] really need to do something about that so we can apply for some of these grants [56:23] and stuff any comment on that [56:36] mike [56:39] yeah i'm here if you have any questions [56:50] about this a number of times i think it's something [56:55] something that we as the commission have to talk to him about again [56:59] um because [57:03] anyway it's not for lack of inquiring or the [57:08] it's the pros and the cons of it [57:13] and i understand what you're saying mike and rodney [57:17] and we need to for a lot of these grants we have to [57:21] come up with a business [57:24] a business plan and that's what we were going to [57:28] establish was a group to do the business plan [57:32] and um i don't know when that's going to happen or how it's going to happen but [57:37] bryce isn't here to answer some of those questions so bryce has court this [57:41] morning so he's not here but we do for a lot of these grants we need to come up [57:45] with a business plan and that was one thing that we were going to [57:50] do was get a people together and try and figure out [57:55] what that's going to look like so and then have it ready for next year's grant [58:00] application process [58:04] does that answer your question rodney [58:17] yeah did that answer your question yeah i did my reception's a little bit [58:22] sketchy so i kind of you guys kind of cut in and out but i got the gist of it [58:26] so i think we're good [58:29] okay um [58:37] that um do we have an ambulance report or anything [58:41] is marty on [58:45] i'm not sure if marty's on or not [58:56] she's not on so we don't have an ambulance report [58:59] or do you have that [59:06] i don't have any ambulance report but the uh but she is [59:11] working on getting the licensing going that's the big push right now is to get [59:16] everybody licensed for next year we've been i know she's been really [59:21] working hard with the state people to uh kind of straighten out we have trouble [59:25] with the fingerprinting and stuff [59:30] okay and i think she's got that taken care of [59:34] now and we're moving forward on that [59:38] okay any more questions for rodney [59:42] thank you rodney um [59:46] do we have grass valley fire department on i have a report from sean uh [59:52] for the grass valley fire department they held [59:56] their elections the new officers are the chief is sean burke [1:00:03] the uh assistant chief the assistant chief zach johnson [1:00:09] uh and then it goes down from there all the way through training maintenance and [1:00:13] medical they currently have 15 members 18 [1:00:18] [Music] is a is their authorized number so they [1:00:23] have 15 of 18 that's great training continues to proceed [1:00:29] at the firehouse with the main emphasis on firefighter [1:00:32] one qualification they anticipate that they'll have 12 of the 15 completed by [1:00:38] the end of january which is amazing uh [1:00:43] the remaining three are new and will take some additional time [1:00:48] after completing the firefighter one they will [1:00:52] shift focus to wildlife or wildland fire certifications [1:00:59] all firefighters will will compete this prior to the summer [1:01:05] and they will hold an emr class in [1:01:08] march the new brush truck is out to bid he has been [1:01:13] contacted by two companies and he knows of two others that are [1:01:18] working on the bids so they have people working on a bid for that which [1:01:22] that bid opening is uh february 16th remember to do this other ones [1:01:29] sure under uh emergency management [1:01:34] he says we had a meeting last elepsy meeting [1:01:38] last week uh january 12th [1:01:43] the annual search paperwork has been submitted to the state [1:01:48] they will keep us eligible for future hazmat and security related grants [1:01:54] all grants remain on track maybe we should have sean doing our [1:02:00] principles we'll [1:02:02] we'll start implementing recently approved by state empg grant to produce [1:02:07] items for emergency operations facilities at the community center and [1:02:12] the mobile trailer [1:02:16] grass valley advisory board we have paul here so i won't go into that [1:02:24] all right um we have advertising hiring and set salary for [1:02:29] ems coordinator [1:02:32] options well let's start stop there [1:02:38] my opinion we should be advertising but in that process you don't have to [1:02:43] set salary we uh [1:02:47] mean karen has the salary range we can go with that [1:02:51] the uh i wrote down depending on qualification [1:02:55] we don't know who's going to apply for that's true if we have a paramedic apply [1:02:59] for it then correct [1:03:02] so do you want to just move forward with the [1:03:07] advertising advertising do you guys do [1:03:14] ems coordinator [1:03:17] and accept this advertisement [1:03:23] qualifications okay [1:03:28] do i have a motion so i'll make a move sorry i'll make a motion that we go [1:03:32] forward with the advertising and hiring and we will set the salary [1:03:37] depending on the experience and qualifications of the individual another [1:03:41] second and the motion all in favor all right so [1:03:47] um next is the option proposal of 75 each stipend for derby field airport [1:03:54] hospital transfer when there are two ambulance attendants [1:03:58] or a hundred and fifty dollars for one ambulance attended [1:04:01] [Music] this was requested by marty at our last [1:04:05] meeting that if there were two individuals that [1:04:08] responded to derby field airport that [1:04:12] 150 dollars be split i don't really have a problem with that [1:04:18] as long as we don't go over 150. [1:04:23] so [1:04:25] if that's okay and they have to indicate that when they submit the vouchers to [1:04:30] read you know if it's who it is you know and [1:04:33] the date you know the transfer and all that [1:04:36] so if it's okay i'll go ahead and make a motion [1:04:39] to accept this proposal i'll second that motion second all in favor aye so pimple [1:04:47] so i've got one quick question this is rod [1:04:50] um on the advertising for the ms coordinator that's just gonna now where [1:04:55] will that be advertised down [1:05:00] it'll be on the website and the paper [1:05:05]

be advertised [1:05:27] no i just wanted to know where it was going to be at i know i think that'll [1:05:31] probably be fine but it's on the website now so i think that's good so anybody [1:05:35] that's wanting to apply they just go to the website fill out the application and [1:05:40] then you uh how about interview committee and that when will you guys [1:05:44] decide what you're gonna do with that um we'll we'll decide with that um after [1:05:50] we have applicants [Music] [1:05:56] mike do you have a question [1:05:59] uh not really a question just maybe a a comment and potential suggestion but i [1:06:04] know when we're looking for firefighters emts and such throughout [1:06:08] the rural areas there's a thing called listserv with the state that the stadium [1:06:13] s office has and the state fire marshal training division has and those [1:06:18] applications and job announcements get posted they distribute those that might [1:06:22] uh help your pool a little bit yeah so how would we get access to that [1:06:27] could could karen send you the information and then you could have get [1:06:32] it posted there for us actually if you guys [1:06:36] have care and send me something i will send you the contacts for those two uh [1:06:40] lists okay and that way she can she can do it i won't be in the middle man [1:06:44] okay that'd be perfect thank you thank you [1:06:51] is there anything else on that more comments on that [1:07:00] um [1:07:05] it's an approval of an interlocal contract between publications [1:07:12] because [1:07:16] nevada division forestry in persian county [1:07:19] and operate [1:07:22] the fire protection program internal battery [1:07:27] this is what saves us [1:07:31] wildfires yes um [1:07:34] bryce i would take his [1:07:43] yeah but i just want that if it's okay i'll make a motion to [1:07:47] go ahead and approve this interlocal contract and for fiscal year 2022 it [1:07:52] says and 2023 each year is 131 thousand sixty four dollars not to [1:07:58] exceed for the two years two thousand two hundred and sixty two thousand one [1:08:03] hundred and twenty eight now i'll second that motion i have a [1:08:08] motion second all in favor bye secretary [1:08:14] f the safety community health nurse [1:08:18] cemetery department update anything um cheryl has clinic today and she didn't [1:08:24] send me a report but they've been doing a really good job [1:08:28] they did the the reese for the veterans and all of [1:08:32] that and and larry helped a great deal with [1:08:34] that thank you very much um cemeteries look good [1:08:38] safety we're up to date on everybody getting the [1:08:44] classes out to everybody that they have to do [1:08:47] and and [1:08:48] with regard to the health department for the state [1:08:53] the health nurse marcia foreman has submitted her [1:08:57] retirement effective i think april 1st but in april [1:09:01] and then what the state will do we don't know right now they're so [1:09:04] short-handed and it's just it's a mess we do have some zoom meetings coming up [1:09:12] regarding um a health district you know combining [1:09:17] churchill and a few other and us and another one [1:09:20] i you know of course will listen in on [1:09:23] that cheryl will too but i think with as we learn more that's [1:09:28] probably the direction that we probably should go [1:09:32] but i don't have enough information to make that recommendation yet but um you [1:09:37] know we have problems like out in emily for instance with the mosquitoes all the [1:09:42] time fallon churchill has a vector program [1:09:46] you know maybe that they could help us with that issue invading you know it [1:09:51] it's just some it's just things that always come up [1:09:54] so i'll know more as we go along but our first um media is coming up okay okay [1:10:02] um you did the emergency operations report [1:10:07] what's happening [Music] [1:10:12] kind of yeah you did there [Music] [1:10:20] department [1:10:38] um still been playing a lot of catch up um [1:10:43] at t is starting [1:10:46] to uh are in the process of starting the [1:10:49] holders for the fiber filled out [1:10:53] uh so i have i actually have a schedule [1:10:57] a walk-through scheduled for tomorrow um [1:11:01] they're one of their technicians used to come down and look at the four sites [1:11:04] that we're gonna start and um [1:11:08] so that you know he knows where they need to terminate [1:11:11] where their equipment will be able to live [1:11:15] um [1:11:18] so uh should jerry i'm gonna need access to the server closet tomorrow i don't [1:11:24] know exactly [Music] [1:11:37] we're gonna [1:11:44] [Music] [1:11:56] [Music] [Applause] [1:11:58] [Music] [1:12:06] um [1:12:10] uh yeah uh starting to get all the budget numbers together [1:12:14] and [1:12:17] trying to get through a lot of the service tickets that built [1:12:22] up and try and get those problems like the phone's issues that [1:12:26] resolve getting there or [1:12:31] i'm treading water not very well but [1:12:37] at least your head's about daughter um yeah [1:12:40] i did post uh there there were three advertisements [1:12:45] that um [1:12:47] were sent to me to post and i did get those closest the id position [1:12:51] landfill operator position and museum clear position [1:12:59] good anything else before we move on [1:13:04] uh just uh the only other thing on the map is the the salary resolutions [1:13:11] um but unless you have [1:13:13] questions for me otherwise then you don't wanna [1:13:30] manager [1:13:33] well-earned [1:13:37] please yes i didn't realize that you were [1:13:40] considering this resolution of date for justin i knew we [1:13:46] were going to see about an i.t technician [1:13:50] i just want to remind you that i only have a hundred thousand dollars [1:13:56] budgets because i [1:13:59] tech person by the quick analysis of salary we did it's going to take over 30 [1:14:05] some thousand we also have this rent on this building [1:14:09] that is not budgeted the phone and all that stuff has gone [1:14:14] higher that's not budgeted so again the 100 000 isn't going to go very far [1:14:19] because then i would also have to augment his wages if you do the salary [1:14:24] resolution as of now instead of reading until july first [1:14:30] and if we if we if we need to [1:14:34] to wait to change my salary to july 1st [1:14:38] that's fine my [1:14:42] my my main concern is getting in another person [1:14:48] and moving towards competitive [1:14:53] salaries or as close to competitive as we can [1:14:58] be [1:15:01] within the constraints of our budget green do we have in our [1:15:06] budget to hide to basically hold off on justin's increase [1:15:12] and hire the technician [1:15:16] i would have to augment the benches [1:15:20] because all that was done in his budget yeah [1:15:24] is one person just him it's just an annual race not in [1:15:30] six months and then another and how many [1:15:33] how many more budgets are we going to have to augment i don't know that at [1:15:37] this time because the hundred thousands gotta go through the whole general fund [1:15:43] which includes commission lacey's office my office lori's office [1:15:49] james office buildings [1:15:57] i just did the numbers on the proposed [1:16:01] increase for our i.t manager and from now to the end of the year [1:16:07] that's 2083 [1:16:12] yeah um we we have departments that don't spend [1:16:17] all their money either as long as the general [1:16:20] fund is okay all across the board well it all depends [1:16:24] on which ones are grouped together and audit because you have like your legal [1:16:28] ones right the d.a and all of those and then you have your fire [1:16:37] and i know i know i i have money in my small equipment [1:16:43] flying item that i was planning on spending on some [1:16:48] equipment but that equipment can be pushed down the road too after july 1st [1:16:53] yeah yeah so um i just i will need i will need [1:16:57] some to outfit [1:17:00] a new employee but i mean that's you know how much is in [1:17:05] that but i i don't have it with me [1:17:08] um but are you smaller [1:17:13] yes [1:17:22] so i have a suggestion um why don't we go forward with the [1:17:27] hiring of the it technician [1:17:31] and then once that person is hired then at that time raised justin up to it [1:17:37] manager marine was just looking up numbers [1:17:47] [Music] [1:17:53] yeah so if i took like [1:18:02] [Music] [1:18:11] okay [1:18:13] all right um karen had a suggestion that at this time we could go forward with um [1:18:20] changing your title to it manager effective right away and then [1:18:25] come july 1st actually doing the salary increase for you at that point [1:18:30] would that be okay that would be fine so i will make that motion [1:18:37] a second we have in motion in a second all in [1:18:40] favor aye aye so carried as for the [1:18:47] i.t technician um [1:18:52] we have a range of 35 to 40 000 depending on their experience so i think [1:18:57] once that individual is higher then we can actually set their salary [1:19:02] that gives us anybody that you know may be interested in [1:19:07] feeling that [1:19:11] okay good um maybe good i don't know [1:19:18] i [Music] [1:19:21] are there are a few that [1:19:24] um had asked me about it [1:19:29] and i did let them know that the job is posted [1:19:34] so i don't know whether the application connection receives one [1:19:38] of them or if they're planning on putting in an [1:19:42] application well we can get the word out go ahead [1:19:48] and how are we going to pay for this that's what it concerns me is if we only [1:19:52] have 100 000 to augment budgets and we have to [1:19:57] probably augment budgets county-wide [1:20:01] how do we pay for this [1:20:07] well we're not looking at paying just say 35 000 plus benefits right now [1:20:13] by the time they're hired we'll be more in to like half of the year [1:20:17] so it's not going to take all of that i don't think that we can wait too much [1:20:22] longer to do this [1:20:25] yeah but yeah and [1:20:28] um the advert [1:20:40] so what you need to do then is just watch your budget [1:20:44] and as much as possible you know not spend [1:20:49] and things that can wait wait [1:20:53] but i you know i [1:20:56] it's just like when we hired you you know several years ago you weren't [1:21:01] in the budget either but ring came and said we can't live any [1:21:05] longer without an id person that was the wisest decision made by everybody [1:21:12] because i can't even begin to imagine where we would be we wouldn't be [1:21:16] so you just had something different oh yeah [1:21:21] but anyway um i think that i think we'll be fine okay do i have a motion [1:21:27] um what to go ahead and set the salary somewhere between 35 and 40 depending on [1:21:33] the individual and their experience and we'll see who comes [1:21:38] available and if it's if it's somebody that doesn't have a lot of experience it [1:21:42] might be less than that you know i don't know [1:21:47] one second second all in favor all right let's go [1:21:52] carried [1:21:55] thank you thank you thank you very much public defender [1:22:23] good morning heidi i i really don't have much to report [1:22:27] other than um uh west coast salmon nevada their their um their norwegian [1:22:34] counterpart and the team will be here on monday so i've i've talked to you as [1:22:38] commissioners already about that um and i think that's the biggest thing on my [1:22:44] horizon right [1:22:51] you have now questions for honey [1:22:55] okay thank you heidi thank you have a good day you too [1:23:12] lacey do you have anything for us i do not have any need to report i will [1:23:16] have some directions for you [1:23:23] do you have anything while we're ready yes thank you [1:23:30] this is very brief and i didn't get it on that agenda but [1:23:35] karen and i have just briefly visited two and i just [1:23:40] am making a suggestion for an upcoming discussion in a board meeting [1:23:45] i think we need to get some protocol for the covid that's going on in steps of [1:23:52] so every department head is following the same guidelines we have no [1:23:57] guidelines we don't know who and how many are using [1:24:01] sickly we've been asked through payroll is [1:24:05] there still covered sick time which there is not [1:24:09] nobody knows what anybody else is doing everybody's going different ways [1:24:14] i just for my department and us tracking we need to have something formal step [1:24:21] one through ten and everybody follows it the same way so we're having can you and [1:24:27] karen come up with a recommendation we probably can't because we just haven't [1:24:31] had time yet a lot of things that are happening is as you know after three [1:24:35] days of sick week when you go into your fourth day you're required to come back [1:24:39] with a doctor's excuse and at that time you're also required to fill out fmla [1:24:45] paperwork that's a federal law not a county law not a state law we're not [1:24:50] getting those fmla papers and you have to be employed with the [1:24:55] county for one year to qualify for fmla and have worked 1250 [1:25:02] hours so a lot of our new employees don't [1:25:04] qualify for that but we have other employees that do we're not getting any [1:25:09] fmla paperwork and it's 12 weeks in a year from the start date [1:25:14] so if they used a couple weeks in october in a couple weeks in january [1:25:20] then when you come to september if you only have one day left that's all you [1:25:25] can take with fmla fmla um [1:25:30] covers the employee and it also protects the county because after they've used [1:25:36] their 12 weeks of fmla [1:25:40] fmla leave the county is irresponsible to pay their medical premiums anymore [1:25:46] that's up to the employees this kind of stuff is not getting done [1:25:51] i don't i can't enforce it myself i need guidance from the commissioners and i [1:25:55] really think we need a protocol of steps one through whatever [1:26:00] and if so if you and karen can put that [1:26:03] together you know and we can and put it on the [1:26:07] agenda we'll approve it [1:26:10] okay [1:26:13] is there any funding for using [1:26:18] the reimbursement when [1:26:30] there's not yeah so the person the employee has to use their personal sick [1:26:36] time or vacation [1:26:41] yeah fill out the other way papers but even have an fmla if you don't have [1:26:47] hours in your sick leave you're not you're going to have unpaid [1:26:51] even if you're in the ffla it just protects your job it protects [1:26:55] your job and it keeps the county paying for your premium for that one year of [1:26:59] time what we did on this one employee i talked about earlier that tested [1:27:04] positive the first call was to chris how much [1:27:08] sick leave does this employee have so on her time court she wasn't here to [1:27:14] complete it what sick leaves she had [1:27:18] was used and the rest of that is uh time off with [1:27:22] that mm-hmm and she's not [1:27:25] eligible for it right [1:27:38] but okay so if you karen and i will get together and try to come up with [1:27:46] you thank you [1:27:49] parents judge stevens [1:27:54] [Music] you skipped over what oh lori do you [1:27:58] want to i'm going back to lori would you like to come up [1:28:16] [Music] um [1:28:52] yes you spoke about this last last meeting [1:28:56] yeah and it's been finalized it took us two [1:29:00] weeks [1:29:03] as far as finalized i have a count there's still a no awareness as to why [1:29:08] it happened and [1:29:11] the software company has put in [Music] [1:29:14] several hours as well as myself and the trainer and programs and no other county [1:29:19] experienced this and [1:29:22] that at this time there's no service to life [1:29:26] so are they sending these back out at no cost to us [1:29:30] sorry are they going to send this out back out at no cost to us [1:29:35] that would be that would be something that your [1:29:38] discretion and they would probably [1:29:40] want me to ask for bryce's help on that [1:29:45] um i have not sent them to the third party vendor because um i always like to [1:29:50] make the word aware but for staffing then they have to go out [1:29:55] um [1:29:57] that's just how it goes so many practices [1:30:05] next year um [1:30:08] [Music] i've attached the you know the invoices [1:30:12] i'm thinking it would be approximately around two thousand dollars but i may be [1:30:16] under or over estimating that it was very unfortunate and it set my [1:30:23] feedback by at least two weeks [1:30:37] is devnet required by the state requirements [1:30:43] like all can't do all counties in the state use devnet [1:30:46] no we we had that choice a couple of years ago larger [1:30:52] the reason why um the conversion happened is ats the prior software for [1:30:58] the smaller counties clark and washoe have always had different vendors and [1:31:02] they've been through different conversions over the years ads [1:31:06] their owner retires [1:31:09] and so um four or five assessors traveled across [1:31:14] the united states shayla and interviewed the various um [1:31:20] [Music] cities and counties [1:31:23] four different vendors and [1:31:26] devnets was the choice of the nevada assessors association [1:31:32] excluding the larger some um assessors have divorced debt [1:31:37] and they are still not converted and they [1:31:40] are not live and there are [1:31:44] how many of us seven or eight of us um are still with that now [1:31:50] and i can't treat for the treasure side okay [1:31:56] yeah so there's seven or eight i don't have them in my head right now but [1:32:00] several dude i call it devotion [1:32:05] because of issues like this i have no idea i was [1:32:09] not involved in it it's private there was contracts there was ga is involved [1:32:15] i am not a person personally professionally that would ever ask to [1:32:19] never assess that they're my professional friends and it's not my [1:32:23] business my thing is [1:32:27] is devnet the best one if if you're having issues like this that [1:32:33] aren't resolved i don't feel like as the treasurer [1:32:40] and plus you're working through glitches [1:32:47] i don't think that i believe i will say this and i and i don't know if christ [1:32:52] remembers me say this but during my campaign [1:32:55] um it was my advice that it would not be a [1:32:59] good choice to change because you will set this county back for many [1:33:04] months for the five years [1:33:06] and even if i had one or not one [1:33:10] it would not have been a good choice to change at that time well they've worked [1:33:14] through so many glitches at this point that we're actually coming out ahead i [1:33:19] mean as you work through you want to try [1:33:30] i can tell you this that our trainer has spent [1:33:33] extra hours that she's not been faithful to try and give me an answer [1:33:38] um i'm not the type of person that screams or yells i have a set of friends [1:33:42] that do that i didn't say that bryson may need his help if you all feel that [1:33:47] you shouldn't be paying for this but she is not not [1:33:52] telling anybody i don't think the attention that we get from devnet we [1:33:55] would get from other voters they they're here [1:33:59] they opened an office in the state like i don't think we would have thought that [1:34:04] since and she is still healing from a very [1:34:07] traumatic injury and she drove here and spent all day friday with me [1:34:13] and i provided example after example for example and [1:34:17] i can show the date range [1:34:20] of when it happened but nobody can find on the back end why it only happened [1:34:25] without counting you know that it [1:34:29] it's it's a glitch and and they're still digging [1:34:34] you know and if you want to have conversations [1:34:37] with the owners that's your choice [1:34:40] but i don't think it's the commissioner's responsibility to have [1:34:44] the question to have the [1:34:53] so we contracted with devnet for them to provide this service to the county and i [1:34:58] know that it seems like they're going the extra mile but they have a financial [1:35:03] incentive to do so and we like to have good relations with [1:35:06] our vendors of course we do but when we pay for a service [1:35:10] and the service we pay for isn't delivered that's not the county's [1:35:15] responsibility to pay for the service again [1:35:20] devnet should make this right they should make us whole [1:35:25] this shouldn't come out of the county's expense [1:35:29] i agree so how would you like to proceed with [1:35:33] that you approach devnet and you tell them that you expect them to make us [1:35:37] whole to pay for it [1:35:41] and and and i don't have a problem doing that [1:35:46] i do think that it will um unfortunately be blamed on [1:35:52] the um trainer and it will damage relations so that will impact my team [1:35:58] significantly and that's just the style of the company [1:36:01] well it is not your problem but i [1:36:04] i don't want to risk damaging my relationship [1:36:08] well i don't think it would be on your trainer if they can't figure why it just [1:36:13] happened to one county it is something in their system [1:36:18] that they need to [1:36:22] need i mean it's costing you [1:36:26] more hours it's costing the county more money than it should [1:36:32] i think it is on devnet that [1:36:36] the county shouldn't be and paying this extra it's not [1:36:41] i mean how does that affect your budget [1:36:47] so i think that this is a conversation that [1:36:50] needs to be had [1:36:58] or whatever i can email the vice president with today's feedback from [1:37:03] awards indicating that the financial end of it [1:37:08] is a concern um [1:37:10] and it is it is for me too because um i have spent countless hours [1:37:16] with her and other members of the team trying to resolve it and [1:37:23] i don't see it i'm not a programmer [1:37:26] it shouldn't come down on your trainer either because she's a trainer she's not [1:37:30] a in charge of the net the [1:37:35] so we're looking at this so then do you have to come back to the board with a [1:37:40] list of the corrections so that we can i have it in pdf if you'd like [1:37:45] to it just says the board of county [1:37:48] commissioners shall there upon examine the error errors or [1:37:51] whatever and um it says by an order entered in the [1:37:55] minutes of the board authorize and direct the county treasurer to correct [1:38:00] the error errors so those those are our role [1:38:04] corrections those will not be um tactile corrections those will be assessment [1:38:09] notices with the word amended or corrected [1:38:12] watermarked process yes but my [1:38:24] or maybe not i'm going to reach out to the department of taxation to ask them [1:38:27] if they'd like me to regenerate the secure capsule and repost it since there [1:38:32] were so many errors right but that is not an expense that's a matter of me [1:38:38] rerunning it in the program and asking justin to [1:38:42] put it online well and there's no question that has to be done and the [1:38:46] taxpayers have to be notified so we've got to get that done but in the meantime [1:38:51] we need to let devnet know that we consider it their responsibility and [1:38:56] then they can respond however and say no we feel it isn't because of this this [1:39:01] this and then we can go forward [Music] [1:39:05] and that's why i haven't sent them off to the vendor because i wanted to have [1:39:08] open communication um a very unfortunate situation [1:39:15] if whatever help you need just let me know [1:39:18] i made just as i asked you when i emailed the um [1:39:23] vice president that's who i'm starting with because [1:39:28] it's it's just it's a software thing and [1:39:32] and when the trainer says that they have dug [1:39:35] in for two weeks and the examples i provided blew their mind [1:39:40] they they still not they still not they're not able to narrow in i gave [1:39:46] them screenshot after screenshot i can see [1:39:50] when it happened but i cannot tell why it happened [1:39:54] so the the work that we do is called mass generation rolling intextual it's [1:40:00] very common work in the canvas system which i am learning [1:40:04] um so it's just [1:40:07] unknown as to why it happened okay but i will share that that the board has [1:40:13] recommended that i reach out to them for reimbursement [1:40:18] of these corrective notices as far as the third part of gender [1:40:25] sounds [1:40:28] are other are [1:40:30] salary resolutions for j hill and improved [1:40:34] discussion and possible action [1:40:40] [Music] [1:40:48] so if [1:40:59] i will make a motion to approve the two salary resolutions one for jennifer hill [1:41:04] from a 26 5 to a 26 7 effective january 3rd 2022 [1:41:10] and one for morgan root [1:41:13] going from a 29.5 to a 29.7 also effective january 3rd 2017. and i'll [1:41:19] second them and emotion and second all in favor all right [1:41:23] okay i appreciate that and karen support um [1:41:45] restrictive pieces of it has helped me a lot [1:41:48] so thank you for that and i will go email devnet [1:41:53] and i'm going to see you guys so thank you for that if you want me to look at [1:41:56] it before i'm happy to do that okay [1:42:11] the service that we get from roxanne is something we will not get [1:42:17] from another trainer or vendor [1:42:20] and we will be if for some reason we were to say we went out we will our [1:42:26] county will be so delayed [1:42:29] i don't see it it would not it would not benefit our [1:42:34] county whether i'm your assessor or not we will put your attorney in the rears [1:42:39] by years a minimum of three to five is what is happening it would be a [1:42:44] nightmare yes [1:43:05] and the cleanup she has helped us do has been significant this was just it was [1:43:10] just a tragedy [1:43:13] things happen yeah things hopefully we get it resolved [1:43:19] well it's resolved and they're corrected they just need to be paid for [1:43:22] so i will look into that so thank you thank you thank you [1:43:27] um [1:43:29] you lost your loss [1:43:33] i have james at 10 o'clock buildings and grounds or building [1:43:43] good morning [1:43:54] i don't really have too much um to report i did get a um [1:44:00] an email from his name [1:44:03] from far west he's doing the [1:44:08] the hydrological evaluation for the grass valley [1:44:14] um he should have that the draft very soon [1:44:18] i said it took a little bit of time getting through to the [1:44:21] state indian state water engineer but hopefully perhaps [1:44:25] within the next week or two hopefully we can get some guidance and [1:44:30] respect to that [1:44:40] [Music] [1:44:47] uh so um it looks like far west engineering as pervader has uh presented [1:44:53] some documents pertaining to the inland water project [1:44:57] essentially these documents are i guess they're in several parts one is [1:45:02] a preliminary engineering report that uh [1:45:07] far west needs to graph the first study and then giraffe [1:45:11] and that will be used [1:45:21] either through the state revolving da and that's kind of preliminary [1:45:25] uh to acquiring the funding and then once we acquire the funding that's hope [1:45:29] that the cost of that preliminary engineering report would be [1:45:38] moving forward with the inland water project [1:45:41] and which may arise in that system they [1:45:44] don't exist yet that's more preventative right so i think that the county's [1:45:49] probably in a good position to do that and [1:45:51] uh bart west has always done a good job before [1:45:55] so where are we going to pay for the 109 000 i am not the budget person [1:46:05] i mean emily water doesn't have the money in theirs i would guess we [1:46:19] there hasn't been uh money any money allotted to family water systems from [1:46:24] the american rescue plan so you can [1:46:28] maybe some of that money could be used for this preliminary engineering because [1:46:32] rice is absolutely right without without this [1:46:35] right [1:46:40] any comments [1:46:47] so the american rescue plan do we have the 109 in that left [1:46:54] at this point no if unless we don't do this [1:47:00] that's nice that's why i said that's why i said at this point yeah [1:47:06] at this point take the firehouse off the list and put the money towards emily i [1:47:10] have to have that discussion with the fire chiefs [1:47:15] and and bear in mind that this this money is going to be [1:47:20] rolled into the funding so it's going to come back [1:47:23] eventually so that money's going to be replaced but i think it's probably fair [1:47:27] for commissioner ackley to ask for that consideration so that the fire chiefs [1:47:31] don't like the rights being pulled out no and that's i i get it absolutely [1:47:40] i was hoping that there would have been at least some money that was [1:47:43] set aside for him but this isn't a matter of [1:47:50] if but when and we need to address this [1:48:00] so do we need to put it back on the agenda after you have the discussion [1:48:04] with you know when or i don't know right off the top my [1:48:08] head right now when the next fire chief's meeting is [1:48:12] [Music] please we have one [1:48:15] i don't know i'd have to look so so can we approve this now and yeah that's what [1:48:22] i was thinking because we've waited this long on the [1:48:26] addition of the firehouse and um [1:48:29] we can wait a little bit longer but this uh to me we're not going to be [1:48:35] spending that money regardless right now no [1:48:38] like i said in our i guess the last meeting bryce and i've been working on [1:48:43] the bid documents and of course those have not been released [1:48:49] so if you want are you ready for a motion i'll make a [1:48:53] motion that we go forward with the professional services agreement and [1:48:59] pay the amount of 109 642 to far west engineering from the [1:49:05] american rescue for funds and then re-look at [1:49:09] some of the other priorities that we had listed further down and hopefully this [1:49:14] will be reimbursed to us [1:49:17] from other funding sources later on [1:49:22] they have a second [1:49:37] i think it's uh [1:49:42] with with the proving money spent out of the fund you've already allocated we [1:49:45] have to work on that first before you should be improving money out of it [1:49:50] that's right that's my reason for the note okay thank you [1:49:57] there's two years in one day motion passes [1:50:03] and i think that we need to address the emily water [1:50:08] system before it's too late [1:50:15] um anything else james i [1:50:19] i'm okay to email far west and tell them to go [1:50:26] [Music] [1:50:35] thank you thanks [1:50:41] we lost our judge yeah we lost the judge we're still waiting for uh steve to come [1:50:46] down he's in court two [1:50:49] okay um [1:50:55] sheriff [1:51:14] it wasn't you you're not allergic to me [1:51:22] right now i do have an employee out uh because i tested buzzer for kobit [1:51:26] and i had a dispatcher turn in her two-week two-week resignation [1:51:32] part-time dispatcher who's willing to move into the full time so [1:51:37] i won't put us in too much of a work but um [1:51:40] last weekend i did have two that were sick two of that right [1:51:43] account so myself and dispatch supervisor covered dispatch for a couple [1:51:46] of days so but uh that's about what we're where [1:51:51] we're at right now yeah tell me about the rapid test [1:51:56] you you got these kits is that one yes and then one of your employees does the [1:52:02] test yes on the inmates that come and use and then what was the twenty four [1:52:06] dollars was to buy those kids yeah the kids that's what they cost for us to [1:52:11] purchase those yeah we had a we had to continue an issue in the jail there for [1:52:16] a while so we implemented a policy looking policy that any outside agency [1:52:20] would have to take their inmates to the hospital and [1:52:24] have them tested prior to booking we've only had [1:52:28] i believe one the tests are positive that had to be cited and released on a [1:52:32] warrant that they had that was um through the four processes [1:52:37] um the rest of them if there are arrests um then we'll do that [1:52:42] the police department bought a case of the test so if the pd or somebody will [1:52:46] use their tests as well and then of course purchase them for those that will [1:52:50] come in and do weekend check-ins or time on their sentences on their days [1:52:55] off those kind of things so all information getting tested prior to [1:52:59] being booked in the facility to not um spread that throughout the field in [1:53:04] such a confined space so what happens if they test positive [1:53:08] and they've been arrested we do our best either see if we can cite [1:53:12] them and release them give them a court date or [1:53:15] um if that's not possible if it's a felony crime or something we can't [1:53:18] release them on them try to make movements around to [1:53:21] segregate them and just enhance our cleaning and [1:53:24] sanitation in that cell control movements [1:53:32] you don't release them like california does we are best not to sometimes that's [1:53:37] the only possibility but [1:53:52] that was basically all i had for an update for us [1:53:56] and sergeant stevens retired he had a target yes we did he retired back in [1:54:01] september um and he told me on two occasions he didn't want to party [1:54:05] the deputies association through the party anyways [1:54:09] it was nice it was nice i only went in just to wish [1:54:13] him well i didn't stay yeah it was short notice [1:54:18] but he's uh he's gonna be very busy now he's got two brand new puppies [1:54:23] keeping him and his wife's attention for a while [1:54:29] that's awesome okay you have um [1:54:32] [Music] the last one on there but before you go [1:54:37] the one it says sergeant roger's going to there is supposed to be cat rogers um [1:54:41] but that has been canceled that training has been cancelled due to co-good issues [1:54:46] well i was wondering how sergeant rogers was going to be in two [1:54:50] places at once you know he's a pretty crafty guy but yeah [1:54:54] so the dares has been cancelled yeah as soon as we [1:54:58] can get somebody that is july so we'll go through the training process and [1:55:01] through his budgets and stuff we'll plan for that come to life okay so [1:55:05] [Music] um we also have the purchase of the 2013 [1:55:11] ford f-150 and a [1:55:15] f-350 animal control trucks for i like those prices for [1:55:21] 250 dollars each total of 500 that's a great price yeah these are the trucks [1:55:27] when they first build them out i talked to so david johnson is the gentleman [1:55:30] that runs them when they first cut them out they're eighty-five thousand dollars [1:55:34] the uh the beds of the trucks for the animals [1:55:38] where the animals go they're heated and air conditioned their temperature [1:55:41] control they're leaving all of that equipment on there the only thing [1:55:44] they're pulling out is the radio because they use a different radio system than [1:55:47] we do is that reno or something no this is the biggest so we'd have to travel to [1:55:51] vegas together but at 250 dollars for 85 000 [1:55:55] equipment what time tomorrow do you leave [1:56:07] actually they have four [1:56:11] so if you want another one i can get a hold of him [1:56:14] he told me i could have first first crafted two of them since we've been [1:56:17] working on this for about two and a half years now [1:56:20] trying to get these vehicles um and i also talked to him sorry no go ahead um [1:56:25] i talked to the mayor i didn't talk to the mayor before i put it on the agenda [1:56:29] but he said he's willing to spring for one of the trucks as well so if the [1:56:33] county wants to split the cost of the city since it is a joint venture over [1:56:36] there they're willing to do that that's an idea [1:56:39] so they will actually stationed at the animal shelter for [1:56:44] those individuals to use yes they're one they're one ton diesel trucks um they're [1:56:49] four wheel drive uh they have uh from what david [1:56:52] explained to me in the rear compartments there's even winches that will help pull [1:56:57] those into the [1:56:59] compartments so as those larger animals they don't you don't have to lift the [1:57:02] big grains and stuff wow that's great wear and tear on your back [1:57:07] so do we need another one out in grass valley and uh emily area i would figure [1:57:13] animal control they do come out to grass valley in england so if that's where [1:57:16] they wanted to put out i was going to leave that up to them but um since i had [1:57:20] the contact information to the sheriff's office to get them i [1:57:25] [Music] [1:57:35] so wherever they would need them would best [1:57:38] fit them that's that would be left to them [1:57:42] once we get the trucks and i do what i can to help them what they do [1:57:48] in my opinion yeah [1:57:54] i would move that we approve the purchase of two vehicles or the animal [1:57:59] control facility and i think the city could pay half [1:58:04] i mean that's only fair so i would second that motion motion [1:58:09] second all in favor all right so carry [1:58:13] that's awesome that is awesome yes i hate to think of it we should get all [1:58:18] four but just that's really being greedy [Applause] [1:58:23] and we have to have a [1:58:27] approval for the travel the travel yeah i'll make a [1:58:30] motion to approve sergeant rogers and um deputy perez to [1:58:36] go to utah for fto training january 30th to february 6th and she's a dispatcher [1:58:43] oh she sorry okay dispatcher sorry [1:58:58] the correct verbiage or should [1:59:06] yeah it should be approval and i looked up the i just did a quick [1:59:11] look on the first novels in the back regarding travel there was nothing extra [1:59:15] that said it would be approval karen put it on there exactly the way i put it in [1:59:18] there i mean we've already gone through the budgeting process of [1:59:22] doing tr training and all that stuff so i put it on there as that [1:59:26] yeah we do have a policy where all out of state travel has to be approved [1:59:31] um ahead of time [1:59:37] the other good thing about those trucks too that one has 111 [1:59:41] 000 miles [1:59:48] thank you [1:59:50] morning mr cochran good morning probably unlimited time so [2:00:10] okay [2:00:16] number 12 is wade robinson the middle of affidavit petition pursuant to nrs [2:00:25] to 517.3902 and develop mining claims belonging to persian county [2:00:30] reversal apn 009-350-77 [2:00:36] and 003-07 [2:00:47] yes i'm here [2:00:52] i hope you can hear me okay perfect i i uh [2:00:59] i appreciate you guys this time uh i i i really appreciate the opportunity to [2:01:05] speak before you guys and i'll uh i'll keep it short here i'm not a very [2:01:11] good public speaker so i've got a little written thing here i'm gonna i'm gonna [2:01:15] read it's not very long but uh [2:01:18] uh the nevada nrs [2:01:23] 517.390 allows an abandoned patent and mining claim to move from a position [2:01:29] of an unpaid tax burden to persian county to the prospects of a viable [2:01:34] mining operation with revenue job opportunities [2:01:37] and increased tax base for persian county [2:01:40] the patent demanding claim before the county commission has a long history of [2:01:44] unpaid tax debt so little is being done with the [2:01:48] property not even the property taxes are being paid right now [2:01:53] right now persian county spends more time and energy in trying to collect [2:01:57] taxes on the property patent and mining claims have such a low [2:02:02] tax base that many of these sit idle and undeveloped [2:02:07] year after year after year they are forgotten pieces of property and the [2:02:12] opportunity they offer is also forgotten and neglected [2:02:17] with today's mining technology and the changing demand for minerals what once [2:02:22] was were considered unusable could in today's market be a [2:02:27] viable mining operation producing more jobs [2:02:30] revenue and taxes i'm working with the mining engineering [2:02:34] company out of reno and my plan is to assay the claims to [2:02:39] determine what minerals and metal metals are available [2:02:44] my family has lived in nevada for five generations i know the history and [2:02:49] importance of mining to our communities and to nevada as a whole [2:02:54] every mine in nevada started with one claim and one discovery am i i'm excited [2:03:00] about the opportunity for this claim in persian county [2:03:04] and for the next discovery i'm asking you for the opportunity to do [2:03:09] this to change the status quo and to improve [2:03:13] the community and the county are you familiar with the old saying [2:03:18] keep doing what you're doing you're going to get what you got [2:03:22] let's plan now to do something different and get something different [2:03:26] so if you got any questions i'd be happy to [2:03:29] answer them you know i'm excited to have an opportunity to you know to see [2:03:34] what's out there on these mining claims and you know [2:03:38] maybe maybe start something [2:03:44] do you have any questions [2:03:49] i have so in nevada whenever the county acquires a patented mining claim [2:03:54] or money you want to pay taxes [2:03:57] uh there's a uh essentially a deed that's issued in trust with a clerk [2:04:02] and it's considered county property [2:04:06] somebody such as this gentleman can come before the commissioners and make a [2:04:10] petition for permission to go on to that property for no more than six months and [2:04:15] explore the minerals that person can't take more than 500 [2:04:19] pounds or from the site [2:04:23] and at the end of the six months the petitioner if he or she so [2:04:28] if they want they can request or they can execute a deed [2:04:32] and they can pay the value of the delinquent taxes to actually get title [2:04:37] to that property and so i've looked at the petition and the petition and [2:04:40] affidavit i mean all the stats short requirements my recommendation the board [2:04:44] will be to grant it and the way that it works is this board orders and grants [2:04:50] him permission through the minutes of this meeting [2:04:53] to enter onto those two properties that he's petitioned access for [2:05:00] so you ready i'll make a motion that we go ahead and [2:05:03] approve wade robeson's um affidavit and petition pursuant to nrs 517.390 [2:05:11] to explore and develop the mining claims belonging to persian county apn [2:05:16] 009-350-70 [2:05:20] and 003-071-46 [2:05:26] i have a motion a second all in favor all right [2:05:29] i'm so moved thank you very much thank you i appreciate it you guys have [2:05:34] a fantastic day you do too yeah thank you [2:05:40] okay now that we have judge stevens and yeah [2:05:43] we've got them all together got them together and we still have bryce [2:05:56] we are [2:05:58] discussing [2:06:06] statute what is it [2:06:13] maybe [2:06:27] is [2:06:38] [Laughter] [2:06:43] she takes the pressure off a little bit but it still requires [2:06:48] friday night arrests [2:06:52] unless they have an attorney then [2:06:56] so [2:07:09] some of the issues that they foresee and maybe prime the board because we're [2:07:14] coming into budget season because there's going to be some [2:07:17] requests from [2:07:19] probably mr cochran's office the justice board and also the district attorney's [2:07:23] office that are bitten out out of the norm so [2:07:26] that we can address this legislation [2:07:32] and if this is my understanding supposed to be [2:07:36] reimbursed through indigent funds that you know that [2:07:41] probably will not happen [2:07:44] yeah i you know i think there [2:07:47] will be some um [2:07:51] i guess you know remote infrastructure to appear [2:07:55] remotely generally on sundays [2:07:59] you know i am out of the area for a few hours [2:08:02] generally returning my son to reno [2:08:06] and so certainly um [2:08:11] telephonic appearances stretches in northern nevada that aren't [2:08:16] the most conducive to cell service or even possibly [2:08:34] to ensure that we're able to afford electronically things like probable [2:08:39] cause sheets and pre-trial risk assessments i know [2:08:42] we tried to do one last week and for whatever reason just the pdfs [2:08:47] couldn't [2:08:59] silver springs at the time of [2:09:05] but i i think that aspect has to be uh explored because there's just [2:09:11] times that i literally that's part of another [2:09:15] you know matter i have to bring my son back to reno on some days [2:09:20] [Music] as well as just what the compensation is [2:09:24] in terms of now being on call potentially [2:09:28] every weekend i'd like to [2:09:32] i i think it would be prudent to have whether it be mr small said or someone [2:09:36] conflict-wise because there's just the reality is at some point [2:09:42] you know um [2:09:51] well you should be entitled to take your vacation without without having to deal [2:09:56] with these 48 hours i mean that's all you get those [2:10:00] vacations um so what we need to do is this [2:10:04] effective july one july first okay so in the budget we need to put that [2:10:09] you're gonna need laptops you're gonna need well i have a laptop [2:10:13] i i think just in terms of what do i do in terms of signal when i [2:10:19] am you know [2:10:22] can we get hot let's say i'm coming into that thing yeah i mean [2:10:33] [Music] headsets [2:10:39] usb headsets get the best possible for the first [2:10:45] listening and speaking and wireless [2:10:50] okay so like verizon [2:10:54] and i use those i know years ago [2:10:59] and those those help with the signal so so they'll hurt wherever there's the [2:11:04] right decision okay the the type of [2:11:19] [Music] [2:11:23] service is available [2:11:27] so will they depend [2:11:30] well they that help them get their documents that they need [2:11:35] so for that [Music] [2:11:52] my suggestion would be to use um either [2:11:58] one drive share put put the file in your onedrive and share it all in one drive [2:12:04] and that [2:12:18] set up [2:12:31] [Music] [2:12:44] um [Music] [2:12:59] i think what we're talking is the exact same documents probable cause [2:13:03] complaining so i don't i don't think there's [2:13:06] anything confidential at that stage [Music] [2:13:12] and just what are you saying what's it called teams [2:13:17] okay sorry jerry what if you want to set up some [2:13:20] time to be taught how to use teams [2:13:26] let's let's get this comes up like when you turn yeah i've seen it yeah [2:13:32] um jerry did you have something well i have [2:13:36] a good question as to what we're going to have to do with the jail because i [2:13:39] would presume that since they're doing bail hearing they're still going to be [2:13:42] in custody so what kind of equipment and that kind of stuff am i going to have to [2:13:47] add to ours because we don't have cameras [2:13:50] in our computers we don't have microphones [2:13:55] when we do zoom meetings we just listen [Music] [2:14:38] so my recommendation would be [2:14:42] and [2:14:44] either [2:14:47] whatever requirements or privacy are needed [2:15:00] [Music] [2:15:04] um so it kind of kind of comes down to [2:15:12] [Music] [2:15:19] so we already have a computer in there [2:15:22] um [2:15:28] [Music] [2:15:39] [Music] another thing i think [2:15:44] justice court perhaps but i would have to get some [2:15:49] notification that arrest happens i usually don't [2:15:53] at the status quo it's hey [2:15:57] come show up to the initial appearance i think they'll have to be some [2:16:01] notice that hey we're going to be doing this and i don't know if that's just a [2:16:04] text message my personal phone or or what but i think so i can set that up [2:16:11] so from our system we send out to the judge and all her [2:16:16] staff [Music] [2:16:33] [Music] [2:16:42] don't uh go too far remote [Music] [2:16:59] that's the time it's gonna be held instead of like oh well two o'clock and [2:17:02] then maybe nine o'clock this time and like a set time [2:17:07] make a little bit easier for ourselves that makes sense that makes good sense [2:17:11] you might also want to consider some upgrades [2:17:16] to the ford's av system to something similar to that that we have here [2:17:23] if you're here one of these [2:17:30] well and the da's office is going to need stuff too [2:17:35] yeah so i was just waiting for steve to kind of outline some of the needs of his [2:17:39] office yeah i mean it's the same thing with [2:17:42] with staff being alerted in terms of you know meyer is going to be [2:17:50] a pc complaint your travel risk assessment goes to [2:18:09] the best way to do that the way that i kind of envisioned it [2:18:13] happening in the da's office is that that information will be sent from us [2:18:18] we leave staff kind of out of that portion of it even though day to day [2:18:21] they're involved on the weekends so we could just take care of it [2:18:26] so you know similar to steve [2:18:28] todd and i are always on call um [2:18:33] but we're going to need assistance from other da's offices we're organizing the [2:18:37] contract because those da's offices are coming [2:18:41] and working for [2:18:43] persian county as deputized district attorneys they're going to expect some [2:18:47] type of compensation the same goes for todd and myself we're [2:18:52] working for monroe county orlando county or whatever [2:18:55] county we can get to help us [2:18:59] i've talked to other district attorneys who have already kind of worked this out [2:19:03] in their office and they call it a consultation fee so [2:19:08] it doesn't interfere with our salary i i can't get [2:19:12] anything else because i'm captain but you could if you had to go and turn [2:19:17] this around and go to [2:19:21] you couldn't even do that no which is fine [2:19:24] but steve cochran should get standby todd banks should get stand by [2:19:30] judge stevens staff she gets stand by it's a consultation fee though it's not [2:19:37] additional salary and it's a standby fee [2:19:41] for a certain amount each hour until they're actually working [2:19:45] and then you know they can we can crunch numbers and come [2:19:48] up with what a fair amount is for the judge to [2:19:52] work an attorney to work [2:19:56] and then any any staff to work so are we going to [2:20:01] work with just jp's from other counties and [2:20:05] other public defenders to cover so you guys at least get [2:20:09] well i think what steve was talking about is that we would ask kyle swanson [2:20:14] he was interested in being standby kyle's probably going to say no [2:20:20] just i don't know i'm just yeah but there are other attorneys um [2:20:25] who the county has a good relationship with [2:20:28] defense attorneys we you know we've mentioned kale brock [2:20:32] mentioned some other names who would probably be interested in getting that [2:20:36] standby fee and then an hourly grade for doing [2:20:39] a pretty simple hearing over the weekend [2:20:43] but for sure there's a statute that comes into put back on july 1st it [2:20:47] allows jps and neighboring jurisdictions to function as jps [2:20:53] in avery county for this particular for this exact type of scenario [2:20:58] so when jed stevens is unavailable she can get a hold of another justice of [2:21:03] the peace who can do this fail here and you can do that with other da's [2:21:10] it's just public defenders that we're having the issue with correct yeah but [2:21:15] there's public effect there's other defense attorneys who [2:21:19] will be interested in doing this but yeah [2:21:23] i'm sure steve knows way more than i do [2:21:26] that he can reach out and you know steve will develop his own plan for what works [2:21:30] best for him in his office and the three of us along with the [2:21:34] sheriff will get together and we'll come up with a cohesive plan [2:21:39] that runs smoothly but really i just wanted the commissioners to be [2:21:43] aware that there's going to be some increases in budgets and there's going [2:21:46] to be some equipment needs yes from steve's office my office perhaps a [2:21:51] judge's office [2:21:56] so we probably need a list of [2:22:01] everything all the equipment that's going to be needed [2:22:05] to do these remote [2:22:10] trials return i think we need a separate laptop [2:22:14] from the one we have to do this [2:22:18] i would i would suggest that one that way [2:22:21] [Music] [2:22:47] yeah i don't see them physically coming here [2:22:52] i mean [2:22:56] but but as long as we make islam we're going to identify who this who the other [2:23:01] public adventures are and there's going to be a schedule [2:23:05] and then we just have to give justin that person's [2:23:09] information and make sure they have teams and one drive so that these [2:23:13] documents can be shared with yeah and i mean that that could be giving you [2:23:18] their contact information [2:23:22] i mean access is easy um [2:23:26] if we want to use them to use all the same equipment [2:23:42] or where we [2:23:46] [Music] [2:23:57] which they probably will because so if they have one driver meetings [2:24:03] go to what is it one driver to these teams [2:24:08] um then that would be the easiest thing [2:24:12] and [2:24:25] so basically everybody's everybody's got the the laptop or whatever they just [2:24:30] need the hot spots if they don't and what makes it basically work for [2:24:36] our county right now we just need the the equipment and the [2:24:42] jail and the hot spots [2:24:46] and everything else that our public defender our jvp and our [2:24:51] our jail need and our district attorney [2:24:56] um so we need to [2:24:58] get that together for budgets along with figuring out [2:25:06] what is it a stipend is [2:25:16] and then a reasonable compensation for that hourly rate [2:25:21] going over the documents talking to their clients period [2:25:25] doing all that stuff well [2:25:29] [Music] so will this go into each one of your [2:25:34] budgets after you get it to [2:25:38] i i think the way that i'm going to do it is separate [2:25:42] so that when it comes time to report this to the engineering defense [2:25:45] commission that it's already set aside in my budget and i know exactly how much [2:25:50] that is costing and it's something that you know the [2:25:53] four of us will probably have to work together on for equipment [2:25:56] and things like that but yeah i think it should be presented [2:26:00] individually in each offices or department's budget yes [2:26:05] but separately but separately yeah so maybe we'll get reimbursed for [2:26:10] it yeah maybe [2:26:13] maybe [Music] [2:26:17] anything else um [2:26:26] our winter seminar next week and we're going to go over a lot of this stuff but [2:26:30] what the other judges are doing so [2:26:53] [Music] and it's more convenient for [2:26:57] everybody involved because the sheriff will know what time [2:27:01] defense attorney everybody's on the same page which [2:27:05] on weekends that's crazy but at least [2:27:10] it's more convenient than just getting a phone call and saying hey [2:27:14] either intent yeah or something yeah yeah [2:27:17] so because it's going to be in next year's budget that's july one [2:27:22] you'll have to be ready to go with ordering everything but you can't order [2:27:26] it you can't receive it until after july 1.

[2:34:20] uh march march [2:34:24] the wrong day or instead of september [2:34:31] so originally this lease agreement with the for the windmill property with seven [2:34:35] troughs of stealing was supposed to commence [2:34:38] september 1st 2021 and then [2:34:41] 2001 i wish time he would decide whether he [2:34:44] wanted to purchase that building or not from the county [2:34:47] it's my understanding that uh the owner of seven trusts [2:34:51] stilling had an accident a car accident and uh was out of commission for a while [2:34:57] i've been in contact with him pretty much all of december [2:35:02] half of november he was able to finally execute the lease [2:35:06] and he suggested a new commencement date january 1st [2:35:11] to july 1st to july 1st or june 30th june 30th [2:35:28] do i have a motion i'll make that motion they're all second that motion have [2:35:32] emotion and second all in favor aye so moved [2:35:39] um do we have a litigation meeting no report from legal counsel [2:35:45] oh board appointments oh oh board appointments [2:35:49] um board appointments resignations the [2:35:52] library board trustees planning board wildlife board volunteer [2:35:57] board cemetery board 911 [2:36:02] so for the cemetery board we have four we have glen rose dale telcott [2:36:08] winston or buzz gray those three people are returning and julie amade would be a [2:36:16] new member and i would make the motion to approve all of them and no second [2:36:19] good question i'm emotional [2:36:24] and i think that was [2:36:27] it yeah which one [2:36:34] oh the weed district i don't know when i bought it [2:36:40] came in yesterday oh okay sorry [2:36:43] so i'll make a motion to reappoint mike gibson to the level of lovelock valley [2:36:48] district sorry you know we have emotion all in favor aye [2:36:55] that's it right okay [2:37:04] now report from legal counsel i do have a small matter uh i was in contact with [2:37:10] uh representatives from stantec last week they agreed to release us from [2:37:15] our contract with them for the persian county master planner dave in amendments [2:37:19] to the virgin county code so they agreed to let us out of the [2:37:23] agreement they're going to return the balance of any unused funds on that [2:37:26] contract and cynthia albright sent me a new [2:37:30] contract or [2:37:32] so that she can do work on the master plan amendment and the persian county [2:37:36] code and i think that james has been in contact with green and [2:37:39] they've worked out a fair contract price for those services [2:37:43] and the board has previously authorized me to [2:37:46] go forward with that so i have a contract and i'll give it to [2:37:50] karen so that you can silence you thank you [2:37:59] report from administrative assistant [2:38:05] items for future agendas [2:38:10] i ask that this be put on the agenda as far as setting some dates for some [2:38:15] planning workshops i think that we need to sit down and talk about some things [2:38:19] before the budget and then also [2:38:23] we need to have a pre-budget meeting with the city [2:38:27] and so i was just thinking we need to have some dates and um [2:38:31] sherry sherry [2:38:33] cheryl sharon [2:38:36] wnd sure [2:38:39] cheryl has offered to help facilitate if we need that [2:38:43] um there's a lot that's going to be [2:38:46] happening very quickly with salmon [2:38:49] the farm and we need to look at maybe some of our [2:38:53] positions and making some changes i mean i have [2:38:56] thoughts i think other people do too but we need to be able to sit down and and [2:39:01] just talk about it and and come to a consensus of [2:39:05] where what we need to do to make this a successful thing also my understanding [2:39:11] is that we're going to be receiving a lot of revenue because of the salmon [2:39:16] farm and there's things that we haven't been [2:39:18] doing and that we could talk about [2:39:22] like future projects and put some priorities to them as that funding comes [2:39:27] available and i think jan [2:39:29] isn't morrison can help us with an idea of what we're looking at even with the [2:39:35] state if they get approval for [2:39:38] the state rebates or incentives we're still talking about quite a bit of [2:39:43] funding and it's also going to impact the city [2:39:47] of the horse before the car i think [2:39:50] we need to break [2:39:54] and i'm saying if we need to we can sit down and say these are the things that [2:39:58] we need and some things that we need like for instance we need a planner [2:40:03] and we need that planner now and i mean granted we would put them in the image [2:40:08] next year but re post [2:40:13] proactive instead of reactive which we are always [2:40:18] trying to catch up we aren't in front of it [2:40:22] and we need to be there and the planner we really need a planner [2:40:27] because we've always had a planner and [2:40:32] um and that went to the wayside years yes [2:40:36] and it we need to hire one back because it's [2:40:41] not benefiting the county and for that one and if it means doing [2:40:45] some reorganization then that's we need to talk about it and we need to come up [2:40:51] with some you know what we as as commissioners [2:40:56] and then there's other things too that we've put off that we can say okay [2:41:01] when the funding comes in this is our first priority [2:41:04] you know it's like law enforcement it's like the water thing if there's enough [2:41:08] money going to be coming in we can pursue those projects fairly quickly and [2:41:13] be shovel ready in a sense correct and [2:41:16] that's one thing that that [2:41:19] i know what was the call that we just did you guys [2:41:24] oh um yeah the um [2:41:28] whatever that group was yeah the colorado group [2:41:32] and and that that was enlightening for me because it's like [2:41:38] we really aren't ready is there enough work for a full-time [2:41:42] plan that's why i'm saying there might be [2:41:45] reorganizations or could you look at [2:41:49] contracting that's what i would say to have them [2:41:53] and it's but those are things we need to talk [2:41:56] about and what's best we need we need to have [2:42:00] a planner because if we [2:42:04] i know james james is trying to do the job but he's not an expert in it [2:42:10] and if we have all this growth we have to [2:42:16] have a plan for it which right now we just [2:42:21] have here and there [2:42:24] or our plan that was the last planner we had was [2:42:29] michael johnson and it's been a while [2:42:34] i'm just thinking that we need to be able to sit down [2:42:37] and and talk about it larry has thoughts you have thoughts i have thoughts and [2:42:43] we can put it and the other departments too if they [2:42:47] have input to different things but we need to sit down and say okay where are [2:42:51] we going from here instead of waiting and saying oh [2:42:56] until they catch us off guard well i mean [2:42:59] yeah so [2:43:02] does anybody i mean i have dates for these [2:43:08] well you're going to be gone when to win february [2:43:12] side conferences february 1st through 3rd okay [2:43:16] so do you want to do it after the conference [2:43:18] to do it before the conference and we're pushing getting postings done and stuff [2:43:23] yeah [2:43:29] so after [2:43:32] any time i'm open pretty much i just need [2:43:36] somebody to [2:43:39] the second the seventh through the 12th is not a good week any time after that [2:43:43] the seventh is not a good week [2:43:47] the second that's not a good week so the week of the 14 [2:43:55] [Music] i'm open on monday i'm open monday [2:44:02] wednesday what wednesday's commissioner joe [2:44:06] monday that's valentine's day [2:44:13] it's too long of a day for me my brain's done [2:44:16] and i think on the 16th we also have a health department meeting on that [2:44:21] afternoon yeah so i'm open on the monday or the [2:44:24] thursday totally i'm open on thursday and friday but not [2:44:29] monday so thursday's the better day and i'm open for a friday too but you're [2:44:34] probably not are you cheating so do it on the [2:44:38] thursday have a meeting on the 17th um i have a [2:44:44] six hour appointments scheduled from 17 on the 17th [2:44:51] so let's look at the week of the 21st there's president's day it's a holiday [2:44:55] we come in no i wouldn't do that to you [2:45:00] um i'm open on the tuesday i could do the tuesday [2:45:06] and by the way the 25th of that one i have a chiefs meeting [2:45:10] tuesday the 22nd [2:45:15] well are you open on the 15th [2:45:19] i can move that appointment i don't know what on the 15th february [2:45:24] 5th i can move the one appointment i already have a nine o'clock [2:45:31] with that would you be available after that or i don't know [2:45:35] yeah if it's an afternoon [2:45:38] oh i can do friday the 18th i just would i [2:45:42] have one appointment i had i would have to move [2:45:45] yeah i'm open on friday the 18th [2:45:49] so you're looking at oh the 17th was out right yeah [2:45:53] so the 18th yeah so to end the 22nd or just the 18th [2:46:00] you talked about the 22nd the 22nd doesn't work for me the 18th is [2:46:05] easier to move that appointment so you want to do it on the 18th yeah [2:46:10] and then um do you want to do it like nine o'clock in the morning [2:46:15] is that work yeah and then we can ask [2:46:19] nine o'clock and we can ask um heidi if she can get a [2:46:23] hold of cheryl's [2:46:26] specific facility [2:46:33] and then we'll need to put an agenda together [2:46:36] but it can be you know plan goal goal setting and planning and [2:46:48] you just want to schedule that one meeting or meeting schedule [2:46:52] one for the city [2:47:08] [Music] [2:47:20] [Laughter] [Music] [2:47:24] so what are you looking at i'm sorry what day were you saying their meetings [2:47:29] are the first and the 15th right and we usually do it at six or something [2:47:35] before there what time is our meeting start [2:47:40] so we usually do it at six o'clock but so we're looking at the 15th is that [2:47:45] what you're the 15th with the city [2:47:49] i think that's what they're saying i think that's what they're saying [2:47:52] so are you saying the 15th six shoot for the 15th [2:48:07] dates for our budget [2:48:25] so if i block out the 15 through the whatever 18th or something 15th 16th and [2:48:33] 17th is that what you said we usually do cupcakes [2:48:37] [Music] so the half day would be on wednesday [2:48:40] the 16th after okay [2:48:50] so all day on the 15th half day on the 16th and the 17th [2:48:59] do we need 15th 16th and 17th we don't need the 18th at all [2:49:07] not usually carol because if i have a bunch of [2:49:10] changes to make we would meet again later next week or so okay [2:49:16] [Music] [2:49:22] all right [2:49:24] that's great thank you very much [2:49:32] i know the bible yeah [2:49:36] um [2:49:44] correspondence [Music] [2:49:51] matters of the board for discussion [Music] [2:50:02] larry read the update from sean [2:50:06] oh emergency manager update [2:50:11] uh we had a meeting last week oh this is relating to copenhagen oh and [2:50:17] mending projects and allocation for the american risk [2:50:21] plan and the amount of 106 [2:50:25] 552 [2:50:29] [Music] we have one more building from far west [2:50:34] that we processed for their [2:50:38] water line didn't she doing [2:50:45] now matters [2:50:48] for discussion order reports do you want me to go first good okay um as i [2:50:53] mentioned before heidi and i attended the ndot meeting yesterday [2:50:58] and they have their priority list the g29 [2:51:02] bridge is supposed to be done next year next fiscal year [2:51:08] and of course that's a priority but we also told them that now we have a [2:51:12] priority with this cosgrave area and so we will we'll [2:51:17] get back to them they're supposed to email us this which once we get it i'll [2:51:23] have karen um send it to all of you as well [2:51:26] and we just talked about a few other things i'll put back on the list about [2:51:32] the pedestrian lights because they did save the money for the [2:51:38] the woolsey bridge is in the budget yes they did we'll see we'll see we'll see [2:51:45] and um they talked about grant there's a lot of [2:51:49] money for transportation coming down they're going to have some zoom meetings [2:51:54] which dan hill was here and i asked him if [2:51:57] trevor could participate and it'll have to do with you know how you access some [2:52:01] of these grants because i brought up about the grass valley road needing [2:52:05] repaving and some of that there's beautification grants so i think [2:52:10] that if we can get some of this money we can do some of [2:52:14] these projects but it's going to take some work yeah [2:52:19] i think if they if they actually went to the point of [2:52:22] funding some money for grass valley road then we should be pressing them to take [2:52:28] that over as a state where we're not accounting for it [2:52:31] i agree [2:52:34] because it pretty much turns into a state rodent state rule [2:52:39] yeah [2:52:42] um anything else carol [2:52:45] no thank you [2:52:48] i don't i [2:52:50] have one thing okay and i'm going to have this discussion with reem [2:52:54] in the next day or so [2:52:59] how can we purchase a snow cat for [2:53:04] going up that hill as when something happens it's always [2:53:10] when the snow's in there and you can't get there anyway [2:53:13] i've been looking at used ones see what we can do [2:53:17] and i will continue to do that what what do they range about [2:53:22] you know i i saw one for eighteen thousand dollars [2:53:28] but the engine needs to be replaced so you know [2:53:33] probably most of them were in the thirty thousand dollars [2:53:39] and then there's another idea instead of doing the snow cat like you would see uh [2:53:45] you know going in a ski resort instead of doing that [2:53:49] do uh like the side by side on tracks [2:53:55] yeah and we're going to look at it that could also be looked at though as [2:53:58] an emergency vehicle too a snow cat could be search and [2:54:03] rescue for a couple different reasons yes [2:54:06] not just that particular one yes i mean not a snowman but a side by side [2:54:11] but we have the op i know options tax doesn't have money but technically we [2:54:15] have options tax for safety and it's a safety [2:54:32] because he didn't get that banner last year so he rolled it over yeah you know [2:54:38] i hadn't even thought about option you're welcome [2:54:43] anyway i'm looking into it just to see what we can do and what's the best way [2:54:49] to do it [Music] [2:54:53] um [2:54:58] the only thing i have is is the rec board approved moving forward with the [2:55:05] full repairs and including [2:55:09] the a new slide in the amount of [2:55:13] 284 thousand dollars three eighty four two hundred and eighty two eight a slide [2:55:18] cost that no that's the full repair and the slide together [2:55:23] so when are they gonna start the repairs um [2:55:28] sean can get the material needed to use a pool that's on a ship [2:55:34] oh that's sitting out in the ocean so if it's 284 we got [2:55:39] 170 something pennies and then wasn't there how much was [2:55:44] collected from forty five thousand dollars [2:55:51] so there's a good portion of it that's already yeah [2:55:55] spoken for funded yeah and the slide will have [2:56:02] stairs instead of steps [2:56:06] does that make sense stairs it's not a ladder it's actually stairs [2:56:13] and it has to be they have to [2:56:17] chip out the concrete to run a water line [2:56:22] but [2:56:25] the board decided not to [2:56:29] um move forward with anything on the high dive so the high [2:56:33] dive is going away permanently [2:56:37] but it was also a pool pack issue eventually [2:56:43] the school didn't want to hide that oh yeah they [2:56:47] everybody wanted it but it's it's getting to the point where pretty [2:56:52] soon packaging so it's going away completely they're [2:56:56] going to [Music] [2:56:59] is it bored for the low dive something like boarding springs for the [2:57:04] low dive the what is it diving board [2:57:08] so so we won't have the high dive anymore [2:57:10] just the diving board and just like it scares me [2:57:15] yes [Music] [2:57:18] and that's all i have for [2:57:21] [Music] [2:57:35] do you want to do the jail inspection the second um [2:57:39] commissioner meeting of february what do we have scheduled for today [2:57:43] yeah today [2:57:46] february 2nd well i'm [2:57:49] no not the second the second meeting in february so the 16th [2:57:55] yeah the jail inspection that morning at 7 30 if that's okay yeah [2:58:03] [Music] [2:58:15] yeah [Music] [2:58:17] they don't usually take too long by the end of that damn [2:58:43] yes [2:58:53] [Music] [2:58:58] there [2:59:10] action may be taken outside of the matter [2:59:21] itself has been specifically included on the agenda as an item upon which action [2:59:26] may be public comments limited to three minutes [2:59:29] is there any public comment [2:59:41] it's that this meeting's in recess [Music] [2:59:45] good job sheamus [3:12:39] motion to approve the vouchers we're back in section
