1 August 16, 2007 The Honorable Board of Lyon County Commissioners met this day in regular session with the following present: Chairman Phyllis Hunewill, Vice-chair Don Tibbals, Commissioners Bob Milz, LeRoy Goodman and Larry McPherson. Also present: Interim County Manager Robert Hadfield, District Attorney Bob Auer, Clerk/Treasurer Nikki Bryan and Deputy Clerk Joanne Sarkisian. 1. Review and adoption of agenda Comm. Hunewill mentioned that item #22a will be discussed in place of item #22. Comm. McPherson made a motion to approve the agenda as amended. Comm. Tibbals seconded and the 2. Appointed Official s report CDBG Liaison Maureen Willis informed the Board that CDBG Executive Director Audrey Allen will be retiring on September 7, She also mentioned that at the upcoming forum, CDBG members will be voting on the number of grants that may be submitted by any one entity. Ms. Williss asked for direction from the Board regarding how to cast this vote. This change is due to lack of staffing in the CDGB office, an abundance of open grants and the lack of available funding. Road Manager Gary Fried updated the Board on the maintenance chip seal project. Comm. Hunewill asked who was in charge of inspecting the job. Mr. Fried responded that Lumos and Associates is responsible for the inspections. Human Services Director Edrie LaVoie distributed two brochures, one outlining the services and programs available through the Human Services department and another on the Bridges out of Poverty training that her department will be participating in along with the Healthy Communities Coalition. Comptroller Josh Foli reported that his department has begun a process of adjusting the sewer connection fees in the Dayton Utilities area. Due to a decrease in the number of connections the fees will need to be adjusted to correspond with the bond payments that are due. Mr. Foli reported that several customers in the Silver Springs GID had made cash payments that were never posted to their accounts. Silver Springs Mutual Water Company is helping the Comptroller s office in the research of these payments. It appears that there is cash missing from the Silver Springs GID. Mr. Foli also stated that during the time period of the missing funds, there were several persons working in the office and it will be difficult to know who was responsible. 3. Elected Officials comments Recorder Mary Milligan distributed her annual technology fee report for the fiscal year 2007/2008. She then spoke of the restoration and redaction process of the old records. Sheriff Allen Veil commented on the Criminal Justice Council meeting that took place August 15, Consultant David Bennett reported at the meeting that Lyon County is in a critical state with regards to overcrowding at the jail. Lyon County jail has a forty-five bed capacity and is currently housing ninety inmates. Sheriff Veil asked the Board for their support in deciding on a direction for the immediate future of the jail. Comptroller Josh Foli answered questions of the Board on the amount of funding that would be available if the County enacted a quarter percent sales tax increase to fund the jail. 4. Advisory Board reports There were no advisory board reports. 126 August 16, 2007

2 5. County Manager report Interim County Manager Bob Hadfield spoke of a memo he had distributed to the Board. Mr. Hadfield is hoping to present a demonstration that will inform the public of the workings and funding of County government. His hope is that this will give the residents of Lyon County a better understanding of the need for tax increases in order to sustain services. It will be critical to get this message to the public. Mr. Hadfield mentioned that he will be sharing the memo with the employees of Lyon County so that they will have a better understanding of the financial situation the County is facing. 6. Commissioner comments Comm. Goodman would like to have an item agendized reporting on the status of the County. He also invited everyone to the open house at Fernley City Hall on Saturday. Comm. Milz would like to have an occasional report from the District Attorney on the lawsuits facing the County. He mentioned a Carson Water Sub-Conservancy meeting he attended and commented that WNDD is now getting into water issues. Therefore, Carson City and Churchill County will no longer be a part of WNDD. Comm. Milz feels that Lyon County should look into this also. Comm. Milz also mentioned that the new hospital wing in Dayton has been postponed due to the lack of growth in the area. Comm. Tibbals spoke of a State Land Use meeting and the amount of water related involvement by the State Corp of Engineers. Comm. McPherson stated that the public should be involved and educated in the workings of the County. Comm. Hunewill mentioned that there is currently a congressional delegation touring Lyon County. They are planning on writing a Mineral and Lyon Counties lands bill. She also mentioned that a Walker River Stakeholders meeting will be held on August 21, Public participation Mason Valley resident Bonnie Blakely addressed the Board. She stated that Rite of Passage continually fails to notify her of walkaways. They then search her property without her consent or knowledge. Ms. Blakely asked for the Board s help on this matter. **CONSENT AGENDA** 8.
