He is opposed with going forward with any development plan. County Manager Jeff Page said the county does have a water plan for the water that the county controls. He said the county does not have any control over the person with a domestic well. Dave Snelgrove explained the intent of the document and said this is a living document. Mr. Snelgrove pointed out the changes that he and Rob Pyzel recommended as published with the agenda.

Virgil Arellano, Great Basin Strategies, asked why the words near or close were being deleted. He said that several farmers in the area had copies of the revisions the commissioners had previously made and were ok with those changes. Tom Cartwright expressed his opinion on adjacent and near or close and feels it should be adjacent to the property line. Dave Cosner said it should be left as it is. Jim Dunlap feels there needs to be a definite line not near and close. Comm. Mortensen called for the vote and the motion passed unanimously 5 0. Rob Pyzel suggested adding Comm. Alt s recommendation to line 25 of section to insert the words transportation, sales after the word processing. Comm. Fierro moved to approve Rob Pyzel s suggested change to the wording as stated above. Comm. Hastings Dave Snelgrove continued with other changes to the document. On page , lines 7 and 8, used for the processing, packaging and distribution of agriculture products have been removed and the words be deemed have been added after the word shall on line 8, and private or public was removed after the word nuisance on line 8.

Hunewill made a motion to add the word adjacent as mentioned in the previous statement. Comm. Mortensen Tom Cartwright commented on nuisance complaints with farming. He said this is part of living in an agricultural community. County Manager Jeff Page said this change would restrict the people who can complain to adjacent property owners. Dave Snelgrove said that section , Disclosure Statement, was basically left unchanged except for the change on line 1, page County Manager Jeff Page said the commissioners will only be approving the recommended changes. They will not be approving Title 15; it will come back as a full ordinance at a later date. There was discussion regarding zoning, land uses and landscaping. Virgil Arellano of Great Basin Strategies had questions regarding agricultural zoning. He also suggested adding the word crops on line 27, page after the word production. Vida Keller addressed Section , Intent, and expressed concerns regarding adjacent to agricultural land to protect the agricultural growers. She feels the section needs to be looked at more closely. County Manager Jeff Page suggested that section should be reviewed by the District Attorney so the language can be clarified. Dave Snelgrove agreed with the County Manager s suggestion. Comm. Fierro moved to accept the changes and revisions to the draft Title 15 Land Use Code, sections through with the additional change that Virgil Arellano requested adding the word crops being added to section on line 27, page and in the same section , Intent, that staff and the County Manager will get the District Attorney s office to address the issue of the real estate notification. Comm. Hastings seconded the motion. Comm. Hunewill said there were town board meetings in Dayton and Silver Springs and staff was asked to have a similar forum in South Lyon County but it never happened. Now we are here doing this without any input from the people from the south end of the county. County Manager Jeff Page said they were waiting for the confined animal feeding operation (CAFO) portion to be addressed and dealt with. There will be a workshop for the south part of the county to gather their input on Title 15 and address their concerns. Comm. Mortensen called for the vote and the motion passed 4 1. Comm.

Time Certain: For Possible Action: For the Board to approve entering into an agreement with the Dayton Comstock BMX Inc. to design, construct and operate a BMX Pump track to be located adjacent to the Dayton Skateboard facility on Old Dayton Valley Road and authorize the use of Park Tax Funds to cover the costs of fencing, water service installation, benches and parking area improvements (requested by Commissioner Fierro) Utilities Director Mike Workman presented in cooperation with his staff.

4 area. Jaime and her group have set up a nonprofit organization. The location would be located behind the dog park. Central Lyon Parks Board recommended approval. Jaime Kunkle said she has lived in Dayton for 27 years and feels this would be a great opportunity for the county to take advantage of. She said there are many BMX riders in the area that currently ride in her yard. She explained that her group would maintain the facility with the guidance of the county. Comm. Fierro spoke in favor of the BMX track. He commended Jaime Kunkle for her efforts on the project. Comm. Hastings also spoke in favor of the project and thanked Jaime for all of her hard work on the project. Scott Keller, Chairman of the Central Lyon Parks and Recreation Board, commented on park tax funds being used for the project. The parks board voted to move the project forward, not to fund the entire project. He discussed the projects that have already been earmarked for the park fund. He said he is in support of the project and recommended approval. He also discussed possible grant funding. Mike Workman explained the park tax list allows staff to prioritize and order materials for upcoming projects. The park tax funds could be used for fencing of the BMX track. In the event the BMX track ran its course, the fencing could be reused. The waterline that was suggested could be used to serve Como Park. They are only requesting the park tax to fund the hardscape portion of the BMX track. They are looking for authorization from the board to proceed forward with the track. He feels the total cost would be less than $20,000. Comm. Fierro moved to approve entering into an agreement with the Dayton Comstock BMX Inc. to design, construct and operate a BMX Pump track to be located adjacent to the Dayton Skateboard facility on Old Dayton Valley Road and to authorize the use of Park Tax Funds to cover the costs of fencing, water service installation, benches and parking area improvements. The actual cost will be brought back to this board for approval after going through the park board. Comm. Hastings 5. Elected Official s report There were no elected official reports. 6.

Promotion to an exempt position will be increased from at least a 5% pay increase to at least a 10% pay increase and allow the County Manager to authorize advanced placement into the pay range based on qualifications, experience, and available budget (requested by County Manager) County Manager Jeff Page explained there was a situation in the sheriff s department where an individual had the opportunity to move up to a command level position within the sheriff s office. The entry level pay for that position exceeded the 5% pay increase that would be allowed under the personnel policy. This could force the employee to quit and be rehired at the entry level pay. The current policy restricts the county from rewarding an employee who has been here for a number of years. The sheriff was not asking for more than what had been budgeted. He said that past practice has always been 5%. Comptroller Josh Foli addressed the board said this is a solution that will take care of these situations in the future. Comm.
