Commissioner Cox read NRS 244.011 and noted there was still miscellaneous junk on the property with as well as the fact that there was what appeared to be a rodent carried wondered at what point the Board took it from being a public nuisance and turned it over onto the neighbor s property that looked like it came from somewhere else.

He found there was no longer a public nuisance provided the gate was closed and all the other issues could be addressed through code compliance. Commissioner Schinhofen made a motion that the public nuisance had been abated; seconded by Commissioner Wichman. Commissioner Cox commented the gate was standing wide open and no one was watching the yard.

She asked why the tenants and property administrator were not being held accountable. She expressed her concerns with the fence and the arrival of rodents as well as Mr. Rowland running a business on the property although it was zoned residential. Commissioner Wichman said she understood all of the concerns, but the Board of County Commissioners was limited to looking at a public nuisance, not a civil dispute or a problem with a messy neighborhood, and the Board could not do anything to help with a private nuisance. Ms. Dixon stated this was a public nuisance with a health problem. There were people who had lived in the area for over 35 years and had never seen a rat. Commissioner Wichman said to be a public nuisance it had to have a public health issue and she did not believe rats were found to be a nuisance on the property. Mrs. Zlotek advised facts about the rat could not be reargued today. She reiterated that today was a status check to determine if it had been abated. It could be continued and another status check scheduled or it could be found it was abated. Travis Plyneton asked if there was anything that could be done to end this.

Commissioner Schinhofen said he understood a couple of the board members would like to not take the stipend voted for them, although he found it helpful when he was a planning commission member. If they could afford to spend their own gas and time and wanted to donate it back he did not have an issue with it. Commissioner Borasky advised he brought it up in the meeting that one of the reasons it was put in was so they would have gas money and no reason to not do site visits. He said he would ask at the next meeting because if they were not then they were not doing their job. Commissioner Wichman made a motion to approve with a thank you; seconded by Commissioner Schinhofen. Tim Sutton noted the agenda item and the title of the resolution referenced the donation would go to the general fund, but the RPC made a last minute change to request that it go to the Nye County Planning Department.

GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT (second) Michael DeLee said he received a ruling from the State Engineer s Office last week. He explained the statute changed in 1995 so that people received notices if their water rights were not up to standard after the fourth year. The new interpretation of the statute by the State Engineer s Office was a 180-degree change from its past practice and they were not doing the four year notice now. While that might be the right interpretation of the statute, Mr. DeLee noted they had been doing right by people for the past 20 years. He thought the District Attorney s Office and the Board should look at it as it was not right. Richard Goldstein said the map for the Fall Festival showed no place for public parking, just handicapped and VIP parking. The Chamber was asked about that today and answered park wherever you could, including shopping centers. Mr. Goldstein advised the shopping centers had already said cars would be towed. Commissioner Ccx said she also asked that question. The map did say free visitors parking out in the desert area behind the arenas. Tim Sutton wanted to make sure the Commission was not condoning parking on private lots.
Commissioner Cox said the Chamber was condoning it on their map, not the advised those items were pulled from the agenda.
