He explained that this item was continued from a previous meeting to allow the applicant to meet with staff and obtain public input. The planning commission is recommending approval of alternative #4 with 18 conditions. Mr. Loveberg then explained that the Public Utilities Commission determines how the cost of improvements and upgrades is distributed to the rate payers. Sierra Pacific Land Use Consultant Mark Sullivan gave details of the project and system functions. He then explained the processes used to determine consumer needs and the remedies proposed. Comm.

5 Comm. Hunewill asked if the fill being added to the site will actually be four feet. Mr. Sullivan responded that all needed fill has been brought in and the site is no more than one foot above the road. Dwight Way resident Charles Cobb asked what the financial impact would be to move the site to the south. Comm. Goodman asked if the new block wall would mitigate some of the noise coming from the substation. Mr. Sullivan conformed this. Dwight Way resident Cory Cooper expressed his concerns with the upgrades to the substation Based on the following findings: a. The proposed use at the specified location is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations; b.

Strolin, Administrator of Planning-State of Nevada Joe Strolin of the Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects gave a presentation on the transportation of nuclear waste to the Yucca Mountain Project.

Discussion and possible action on interest in the appointment of individuals from each Commission District to serve on an Ad Hoc NNDA Economic Development Advisory Council for Lyon County County Manager Dennis Stark presented this item. He explained the need to have representation from each commission district. NNDA Executive Director Ron Weisinger commented that NNDA is looking forward to working with Lyon County to ensure that economic growth in the county continues to move forward. 77 May 15, 2008

7 Mr. Stark asked for recommendations from each Board member on possible advisory board members. He also commented that if Comm. McPherson has an interest in sitting on the advisory council the remaining members could be from the community. Comm. Hunewill made a motion to move forward with the appointment of individuals from each commissioner district to serve on ad hoc NNDA Economic Development Advisory Council for Lyon County. Comm. McPherson seconded and the 26. Discussion and possible action on approval of development agreement amendment with Carson Tahoe Healthcare Planning Director Rob Loveberg presented this item. He gave details of the project and mentioned a special use permit condition requiring a landscaping buffer. Mr. Loveberg then informed the Board that staff had provided the applicant three options to fulfill the condition. The applicant has chosen an amendment to the development agreement and is presenting the proposed language. Don Smit, Project One, represented the applicant. He gave details of the discussions that took place with the previous planning director. Mr. Smit commented that at a previous Board meeting it was the consensus that it would not be appropriate to landscape until the buildings become occupied. Mr. Smit requested that the Traditions master plan community landscaping design guidelines be used in the creation of a landscape buffer. He would also like to have the landscaping requirements attached to the certificate of occupancy on the buildings to be built on parcels C & D. Comm. Milz made a motion to continue this item. The corrected amendment is to be brought back to the Board for review and possible approval. Comm. Hunewill seconded and the motion passed unanimously Discussion and possible action on a request for a waiver of LCC C.2, by Mr. Ron Gray. Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has approved Mr. Gray to use their easement; Lyon County Code requires that he pave the entrance to his business at 770 Highway 50 East, APN , however, NDOT will not allow him to pave their easement, and that is the reasoning behind this waiver request Dayton resident Ron Gray presented this item. He commented that at the present time, NDOT has granted access to his parcel off of Highway 50 though NDOT will not allow him to pave their easement. Mr. Gray mentioned that if he were to use the rear access it would be forcing commercial traffic through a residential area. Road Manager Gary Fried explained that he has had discussions with NDOT and understands some of the reasoning behind their decision. He also mentioned that if the County begins waiving the requirements it will prohibit the ordinance from doing what it was designed to do. Comm. Milz made a motion to grant the waiver with the condition that if an agreement can be reached with NDOT to allow the easement to be paved in the future the applicant must comply. Comm.

He informed the Board that a hearing will be held on July 3, Comm. Milz made a motion to approve as presented. Comm. Hunewill seconded and the motion passed unanimously Jail Project RFQ/RFP and potential further commission discussion and action on the location of the proposed Safety Complex addition and/or remodel project County Manager Dennis Stark began this item. Greg Peek of ERGS, Inc spoke of details on the potential for a safety complex in the Silver Springs area. He is willing to donate up to twenty acres to Lyon County to be used for a public safety complex. Comm. Hunewill asked what type of land improvements would need to be done to this parcel. Mr. Peek stated that the parcel is flat and has water and sewer adjacent to the parcel. Comm. Milz asked if the utility hook up fees would be donated along with the parcel. Mr. Peek commented that is something that will need to be discussed. At the present time only the parcel is being offered. County Engineer Dick Faber commented that if this parcel is consistent with others in the area, soil will need to be hauled off and fill brought in under the footprint of the structure. Comptroller Josh Foli commented that the only funding available at this time is $6,270,000 in existing cash and $10,000,000 in bonds. He stated that one of his concerns as risk manager is liability to the County due to the fact that 24 hour medical facilities are so far away. Comm. Milz mentioned the medical facility in Silver Springs is open during the day and that Carson City is not too far away. Comm. Goodman asked Mr. Morgan to estimate the cost per square foot to build a new facility. He also commented that the Board has never been given a presentation on the cost of building a new facility in Yerington and a new facility in Silver Springs. Jerry Morgan of Q&D Construction felt that is would cost in the range of $200 to $275 per square foot to build a new facility. Comm. Hunewill asked if that cost included site work. He stated that it was a round figure and more details would need to be looked into. He also commented that the building cost would be the same no matter where it is located. Emergency Manager Jeff Page spoke of the communication center needs. He has a concern with the airport being adjacent and the need to receive a license from FAA to install an antenna. A major concern of Mr. Page is the repeater site located at Bald Mountain. This site will not work in Silver Springs, due to this a new repeater site will need to be created. Mr. Page also mentioned the need for emergency medical services in the vicinity of the jail to keep transportation costs and liability at a minimum. Code Enforcement officer Rick Zierenberg informed the Board that the Lahontan Medical Center will be becoming an urgent care facility in the near future. City of Yerington Police Chief Darren Wagner addressed the Board and requested that the jail facilities be retained in the City of Yerington. He also requested the Board support Sheriff Veil in the remodel and expansion of the existing jail facilities. 80 May 15, 2008

10 County Engineer Dick Faber spoke of the pro s and con s of utilizing the Silver Springs property that may be donated by Mr. Peek. County Manager Dennis Stark stated that staff is looking for firm direction on how to proceed with this item. Sheriff Allen Veil addressed the Board. He stated that there is need for a maximum security facility and it needs to be decided what will be built before a cost can be assessed. He also mentioned that moving the jail to Silver Springs would have some benefit to patrol and many of the staff that live in north Lyon County. Sheriff Veil does not feel that those benefits out weight the risk to deputies or the costs involved in transporting prisoners to court and medical facilities. He stated that his office must be in the county seat and it would not be wise to move his biggest liability that far away from his office. Sheriff Veil then spoke of the current response time for fire and ambulance services versus what it would be if the jail were in Silver Springs. He then mentioned the need to have records and dispatch near the jail. At the present time the City of Yerington Police department is available to help with issues at the jail. Sheriff Allen Veil then stated many reasons why the facilities should remain in Yerington. Comm. McPherson commented that the citizen s rely on their commissioners to make decisions and he has had many people tell him they wish to have the jail facilities in Silver Springs. County Manager Dennis Stark concluded that the expertise of the Sheriff is relied on and he is advocating the Yerington site. Comm. Goodman would like a comparison of what sixteen million dollars can build in Yerington and Silver Springs. Comm. Hunewill mentioned that other costs involved in each location including maintaining two sites, staffing and any other associated costs need to be factored in to the construction cost. Comm. Milz mentioned that the remodel should be priority number one. It has been needed for many years. He recommends bringing Mr. David Bennett back to complete his job. Comm. Tibbals would like an estimate on remodeling the existing jail and the cost of a new facility in each location. Comm. Milz asked Mr. Peek how long the property donation offer will be valid. Mr. Peek responded that the offer is valid in the near term. There was a lengthy discussion on the RFQ/RFP process and the time involved in the design build process. Sheriff Veil reminded the Board that communications and records need to be in the same location as the jail. Comm. Milz made a motion to approve going forward with the RFQ/RFP to include the Silver Springs location. Comm.
