2 Interim County Manager Bob Hadfield addressed the Board regarding the finances of Lyon County. Mr. Hadfield is recommending looking at each of the departments in the County on a function by function basis and determining what the County is spending on these services. The purpose would be to provide the Board and all of the departments with the understanding of the cost of providing public services. He suggested that no new positions be created unless it can be demonstrated that the position would be revenue neutral as was the case with the Canal Township Justice Court at the last Board meeting. He then informed the Board that he had one month ago he had sent a letter to CAHI regarding the zoning violation on their parcel that had been addressed by the Board approximately one year ago. CAHI claims to have not received the letter, so Mr. Hadfield had another letter personally delivered to them informing them that they must vacate their building by August 31, :30 A.M. - an ordinance amending Lyon County Code, Title 9, Chapter 3 to amend section 5.23 by amending the existing water rights table formula: adding penalties for other use: and other matters properly relating thereto. Utilities Director Mike Workman presented this item. He gave specifics of the proposed ordinance and explained that the proposed table is based on the consumptive use formula rather that the existing water allocation table. He stated that the proposed formula will be advantageous to subdivisions that have various size lots. Comm. Hunewill asked for public comment. Yerington resident Diana Moore asked if the ordinance will affect property owners with wells. Mr. Workman stated that this ordinance will affect the Dayton and Mound House service area and only those on public utilities. Comm. Milz made a motion to approve the ordinance as presented. Comm.
