We are looking at the land by the bus barn and Komatsu. Bob Heguy, Museum Treasurer, thanked the Council for allowing them to utilize the land behind the museum. It will be a cultural center and a mining exhibit. He also wanted to talk about Pickle Ball. He asked for a bunch of records and he got copies. After reviewing the documents, the fund balance hovers around $2.78 million. That is a large resource you are holding there and he wondered why? Are you holding the funds there and for what purpose? His focus is in Pickle Ball. The money allotted ($25,000) won't even pay for the screens to stop the wind. Mayor Keener noted that Pickle Ball is growing in popularity. Mr. Bahr said there is a group of Pickle Ball players he has been working with lately. They have asked the Boys and Girls Club to come up with a plan for Pickle Ball.

Update on the status of the Mormon Crickets, and matters related thereto. INFORMATION ONLY - NON-ACTION ITEM Jan Baum, City Manager, gave a presentation. Will Ruger, Kittridge Canyon, said he has watched the crickets hatch. Nevada has ignored this situation until now. You are planning on doing something on the 26th, but why hasn't anything been done yet? The crickets are already moving to town and the roads are getting greasy. His concern is the sooner you get on this, the better it will be next year. He doesn't think homeowners can afford the bait since it is so expensive. Mayor Keener said the County has bait available to the public. VII. CONSENT AGENDA A.

The next step in the process is to solicit for RFQ’s for the System Modernization Plan. DJ Dale Johnson, Utilities Director, explained they are asking to solicit for qualifications from vendors. Mayor Keener said we have been expecting this. ** A motion was made by Council Member Morris, seconded by Council Member Puccinelli to direct Staff to solicit RFQ’s for System Modernization Plan for the Water Department. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) C. Review and possible selection of an engineering firm to provide engineering services at the Elko Regional Airport, and matters related thereto, FOR POSSIBLE ACTION The airport has been going through the process of selecting an engineering firm to provide engineering services at the airport for the next five-year (5) period as required under FAA Advisory Circular 150/5100-14 series. The airport received three (3) proposals that were reviewed by the selection team. The three firms that submitted proposals were Wood Rodgers Inc., Ardurra and Woolpert, Inc. All three (3) proposal were rated and all were asked back for interviews. The Airport interview committee held interviews on March 28th and 29th. After a longer than expected review process the selection committee recommends that the Council select Woolpert, Inc. for the next five (5) year airport engineering service contract. Upon selection of a firm, staff will negotiate a Professional Services Agreement. This new agreement will be brought back to Council for review and final approval. JF Jim Foster, Airport Manager, explained Woolpert was Jviation. They changed their name. It was a stressful screening process but we do recommend Woolpert for this contract. If a contract cannot be negotiated, we can move ahead with the next firm in line. ** A motion was made by Council Member Simons, seconded by Council Member Stone to select Woolpert Inc., for engineering services at the Elko Regional Airport, and direct Staff to negotiate a Professional Services Agreement with them. The Professional Service Agreement will be brought back to Council for review and possible approval. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) D. Review, consideration, and possible authorization to solicit bids for the City Hall Boiler Replacement Project, and matters related thereto. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION The boilers in City Hall are aged, inefficient and require replacement. City Staff hired Petty and Associates, Inc. to spec and design the project. JA April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 5 of 16  Justin Alanis, Facilities Superintendent, explained this is a request to solicit bids. The boiler we have now is a 1970 model. It is old and inefficient. The boiler was not really a concern while we had geothermal heating but now we have to use it. This building is designed for water heat and we can't really change that. We have already paid for a design by Petty and Associates. Mayor Keener agreed it is a relic from a bygone era. The time has come to have something more reliable. If it went down in the middle of winter, we wouldn't have any backup. ** A motion was made by Council Member Stone, seconded by Council Member Morris to authorize Staff to solicit bids for the City Hall Boiler Replacement Project. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) X. SUBDIVISION A. Review, consideration, and possible conditional acceptance of Subdivision Improvements for the Jarbidge Estates Subdivision, and matters related thereto. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION Council approved Final Map 4-21 for Jarbidge Estates on July 13th, 2021. A Performance and Maintenance Agreement was entered on June 13th, 2021. The Maintenance Agreement was extended for a period of one year on May 9th, 2023. The Developer has requested a conditional acceptance of the subdivision. The Developer has substantially completed the Subdivision Improvements in accordance with the approved plans with the exception of the items noted the Engineer of Record certification. The developer agrees to provide a Performance Bond amount of $43,968.00 pending completion of the work. As noted, the City is in receipt of the required certification of the project by the Engineer of Record. The Developer is required to provide maintenance security in the amount of $45,909.48 for a 12-month maintenance period. The maintenance period will begin on the date of Council acceptance of the subdivision improvements provided the maintenance bond is on file with the city. Although the list of exceptions is lengthy, staff is recommending a conditional approval of the project based on the fact that most items are minor and completion of the work for most items is recommended prior to certificate of occupancy for the first structure. RN Ralph Negron, Development Manager, explained we received an inspection and many of us from staff went out and did our inspections. There are 18 punch items on this. We are trying to work with Legion Construction. He developed this list to work with him to get at least the first 13 punch items done. He got some of them done. About a month ago, Scott Wilkinson reached out to Legion Construction to make sure they were on task. He did get his sidewalks in and some of the grading. If someone is going to move in, we want that place to look good. It should be a safe environment. It has been a struggle. We are looking at a small section of the subdivision to get these items completed. There are some things he is going to have to get done before a Certificate of Occupation, and these are big things. April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 6 of 16  Scott Wilkinson, Assistant City Manager, said if this subdivision is accepted tonight, there are some things we need to address. We are trying to accommodate the builder. He felt this project was disorganized. Mike Shanks, Engineer, agreed it is a tall ask. He appreciates staff for working with the developer. He felt many if these items could be completed shortly. You don't have to give the Certificate of Occupancy if these things are not done. The developer owns these units. It has been a bit disorganized and chaotic lately. We appreciate the consideration. Mayor Keener called for public comments without a response. He thanked Ralph for the heavy lift on this. It is important to work with the builders and developers without compromising on standards and possible investors. ** A motion was made by Council Member Simons, seconded by Council Member Morris to conditionally approve the Public Improvements for the Jarbidge Estates subdivision with the noted exceptions in the Engineer’s certification, require the developer to post a Performance Bond in the amount of $43,968.00 ensuring completion of the work, require the Developer post a Maintenance Bond the amount $45,909.48 prior to Certificate of Occupancy and Certificate of Occupancy will be addressed as stated in the Development Manager’s letter dated April 17, 2024, the maintenance period will not begin until the maintenance bond is in place, we also have to have NDEP approval, and there will be no Certificate of Occupancy without the CC&R's of record. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) XI. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Review, consideration, and possible approval of expanding the donation to the Elko Institute for Academic Achievement (EIAA) to include engineering and school zone signs associated the new EIAA location, and matters related thereto. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION This item was tabled at the April 9, 2024 Council Meeting. Council directed Staff to bring the item back at the April 23, 2024 Council Meeting. On October 24, 2023, Council approved a donation in the amount of $146,010 to the EIAA for construction-related costs for the traffic median, and traffic studies for the new school location. The EIAA incurred an additional expense related to signage for the new school which includes engineering and signs. EIAA is requesting an additional $35,925 donation because of the added costs. Support for the expenses is included in the packet. JB Jan Baum, City Manager, explained Lori Lynch and Dennis Zimmerman were present to explain their request. There were some documents in the agenda that had been provided by EIAA for these additional costs. Dennis Zimmerman, EIAA, explained the engineering in the packet was not just for the signage. When we submitted the project to the City for approval, the signage had been omitted and was not picked up April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 7 of 16  until later. There is an Element Construction change order that shows the additional signage costs. With the engineering costs, there was some additional costs as outlined in the backup. Those bills total the $35,925.00. Mayor Keener said the invoice from Black Dolphin does not say it is for the signage. Lori Lynch, Elko Institute for Academic Achievement (EIAA), said the $5,000 was for additional work Black Dolphin had to do on Silver Street. When we first submitted this request, we knew there was a change order in the works for the signage. The engineer came in and did a signage plan. At the time of the original request, we knew we would have additional costs for the signage. We were asked to come back when we knew what those costs would be. Councilman Morris said we are looking at a total of 18 signs. That seems like a lot of money. Ms. Lynch stated those costs were for the signs and the installation. Councilwoman Simons remembered asking Dennis how much is costs to put up a sign. He told her they were about $100. Paul Algerio, Street Superintendent, said there is more to it than just the sign. You will need a post and concrete and there will be some markup. Councilwoman Simons said she was confused by how much this costs. Ms. Lynch pointed out this is a prevailing wage project. Mayor Keener asked if this is approved, where would the funding come from. Jan Baum, City Manager, answered in the FY2024 budget, we budgeted more money than we donated to them. We had estimated additional costs for the other area they were going to go into. Councilwoman Simons said there are so many worthy projects out there. It is hard to know what to do with these things. Mayor Keener asked if Staff had a position on this. Ms. Baum said she wondered why we are paying for ADA signage. She also wondered if the school zone signs were in addition or are always required with every school. Scott Wilkinson, Assistant City Manager, said the school bought the location. The City has been generous with the reimbursements. All that signage is just a part of it. ADA is not associated with public improvements. Ms. Lynch said when the Silver Street project was approved, there was no signage in the plans approved. It wasn't until later that it was pointed out the signage was missed and we were told we needed to add the signs. It was not part of the initial approved plans. April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 8 of 16  Mr. Wilkinson said staff looked at the plans but that does not mean it was not required. He pointed that out to staff. Those signs are required because this is a school. Ms. Baum said if the board is interested in extending a donation or grant for these expenditures, she had a motion to include bringing back a resolution for the donation. NRS indicates we should do a motion. Councilman Puccinelli finds it hard. How could these items be missed? They picked the spot and they had to know these signs were going to be needed. Should we use taxpayer dollars for this? He was leaning towards no. Councilman Stone said we are being asked to pay the price for the engineer's mistake and agreed with what Councilman Puccinelli was saying. Dave Stanton, City Attorney, read the NRS on this. This needs to be done under resolution. He felt the topic was clear enough to do this tonight. We don't have a resolution prepared. We need to come back with a resolution with the findings the Council decides on tonight. ** A motion was made by Council Member Simons to approve a resolution to grant EIAA the amount of $35,925.00 for the purpose of signage on the Silver and Main Project, subject to the following conditions: to further instruct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution documenting the foregoing action to be executed by the Mayor. The motion failed for a lack of a second. ** A motion was made by Council Member Simons, seconded by Council Member Stone to approve a resolution to grant EIAA the amount of $15,200.00 for the change order signage at the Silver and Main Project, subject to the following conditions: to further instruct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution documenting the foregoing action to be executed by the Mayor. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) XII. NEW BUSINESS A. Review, consideration, and discussion for the appointment of (1) one member to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and matters related thereto. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION Staff has been conducting an open recruitment for (1) one open seat on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for several months and has received one letter of interest from Mr. Willard Burnham. The submitted letter of interest has been included in the agenda packet for Council consideration. This position will be for the remainder of a 4 year term expiring on June 30, 2027. JW April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 9 of 16  James Wiley, Parks and Recreation Director, felt the background made it all pretty clear. He met Mr. Burnham some time ago and suggested joining the board. He moved here with his family to work on a significant project near the golf course. Mr. Burnham was present in the audience. Willard Burnham said he moved here from Sarasota Springs, Utah, about a year ago. He has a family of 4 and plans on being here for a while. ** A motion was made by Council Member Simons, seconded by Council Member Stone to appoint Mr. Willard Burnham as a member to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for the remainder of a (4) four-year term set to expire on June 30, 2027. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) B. Review, consideration, and possible approval of a lease agreement between the City of Elko and the Boys & Girls Club of Elko, and matters related thereto. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION The City conveyed property to the Boys & Girls Club of Elko for the Recreation Center. The current outdoor pool area was not included in this conveyance because of the LWCF encumbrance existing on this area. Ownership of this area remains with the city and will be leased to the Boys & Girls Club of Elko so the Recreation Center construction can proceed. A copy of the lease and area are included in the packet. JB Jan Baum, City Manager, said if Council is interested in leasing the property to the Boys and Girls Club, this is for the outdoor pool area only. We are working out some encumbrances on the building. Rusty Bahr, Boys and Girls Club, said we have to get the lease in order to work on the outdoor pool. Mayor Keener called for public comments. Dave Stanton said this is a draft lease and it is not quite a final document. If Council wishes to approve the lease, all the blank items need to be filled in. ** A motion was made by Council Member Simons, seconded by Council Member Morris to approve a lease agreement between the City of Elko and the Boys & Girls Club of Elko and with the additions that it will be entered into today, April 23, 2024, and it will begin April 23, 2024 and expire at midnight on April 23, 2044, with an option to extend the lease another 20 years, subject to the same terms and conditions, and the lease amount will be for $1 a year. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) C. Review, consideration, and possible approval of a Grant of Easement for public and private access and utilities, to Boys & Girls Clubs of Elko, Inc., located on the southern portion of APN 001-560-103, referred to as City of Elko Swimming Pool, and Matters related thereto, FOR POSSIBLE ACTION April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 10 of 16  The Boys & Girls Club of Elko, Inc. is developing the new recreation center adjacent to the easement property. The City of Elko intends to lease the easement property to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elko, Inc. for the use as a public outdoor swimming pool to be operated by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elko, Inc. This easement will also allow for utility work and access during the construction of the recreation center. CL Cathy Laughlin, City Planner, explained the most important part of this is the exhibit of the map. The map indicates the easement area. It will be for private and public access and utilities. Mayor Keener called for public comments without a response. ** A motion was made by Council Member Stone, seconded by Council Member Puccinelli to approve the Grant of Easement for public and private access and utilities to Boys & Girls Clubs of Elko, Inc. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) D. Review, consideration, and possible approval to grant funds to the Boys & Girls Club of Elko, and matters related thereto. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION The Boys & Girls Club of Elko is constructing a Recreation Center in the Elko City Park. Rusty Bahr, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Elko will be present to request a monetary grant of funds pursuant to NRS 268.028 from the City of Elko to assist with the costs of the new Recreation Center. JB Rusty Bahr, CEO Boys and Girls Club, explained we wanted to request this earlier. Mr. Stanton has been working with them for some time to make sure the City can donate to this project without making it a Public Works/Prevailing Wage project. When we came to make a request initially, the City Manager wanted this project to be on the Kump and Herrera fields. Moving the location was a great win for everyone. It saved money for the City because now the City won't be bonding to build more fields at the Sports Complex. We have done all we can to raise money for this project. For us to raise another $1.8 million is not feasible. We want to break ground in a month. Dave Stanton, City Attorney, said this is subject to NRS 268.028 and has to be done via resolution. On the prevailing wage issue, Boys and Girls Club is relying on their own attorney on that issue. The Boys and Girls Club are satisfied with their attorney's opinion on that. Councilwoman Simons asked how much are they asking for. Mr. Bahr answered we will take anything we have to do to keep this project moving forward. We don't have a number on there because we that is a big ask and it may not be feasible to give $1.8 million. Councilwoman Simons said these facilities will serve more than just Elko. She knew the County was on board for some things but are they only on board for the Event Center? April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 11 of 16  Mr. Bahr said the County has committed $15 million to the Event Center. We have another $13.7 million request out there but we have not received final determination on that. Mayor Keener asked James Wiley if the City was to fund building an Aquatic center on our own, what would be looking at? James Wiley, Parks and Recreation Director, answered we did a study some years ago for this. That price estimate 14 years ago was $28 million. Reno is building one at the price of $53 million. That is happening right now and they are nearing completion. It is a bigger building than what we are looking at. Mayor Keener asked Jan Baum to help with numbers. The City has made a commitment to fund $400,000 annually for the operational costs. Jan Baum, City Manager, answered the letter of understanding that was approved by Council included giving $400,000 a year to the Boys and Girls Club for operational costs. That is approximately what the City pays to run the pool. We did not put that into our 2025 budget because we are still operating our pool. The other thing we had committed to previously, was constructing a parking lot but that is part of the land we conveyed. Mayor Keener asked if the money would come from the Rec Fund. Ms. Baum answered yes. Part of that reasoning was that the Rec Fund was going to build Phase 2 of the Sports Complex. Councilman Stone asked if that would leave money in the fund to complete the Phase 1 work at the Sports Complex. Ms. Baum answered yes, that is in our budget. She asked Mr. Bahr, no matter what Council agrees to for a contribution, does it have to be right now or over a period of time. Mr. Bahr answered it can be paid over a period of time. Ms. Baum asked if the gap includes construction of the outdoor pool or the Recreation Center. Mr. Bahr answered it is for the Recreation Center Phase 1. Phase 2 will not be on the City for money donations. Casey Gallagher, Boys and Girls Club Board President, said a few words about the project. Mayor Keener called for public comments without a response. He felt this will be a wonderful amenity for the community. He loves the fact that the City doesn’t have to spend $30 million for the project. He is in support in spending $1.8 million for this. Councilman Morris felt this was a no-brainer for us. It needs to be built. He is in favor of the $1.8 million. April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 12 of 16  Councilman Stone asked where we would get the money. Ms. Baum answered it would come from the Rec Fund. The fund generates about $4.7 million in Room Tax every year. About $2.7 million of that goes to the different entities. Councilman Stone said he would support $1.5 million. Mr. Wiley said we recognize there may be some ask. He felt this was reasonable. There was a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting last Thursday and this will fit fine in the 5-year plan. That plan moves a lot but this is an important project. He will love the day it is complete. Councilman Puccinelli said after what Mr. Wiley said, we do need this and he was fine with $1.8 million. ** A motion was made by Council Member Simons, seconded by Council Member Puccinelli to approve a resolution to grant to Boys and Girls Club, the amount of $900,000 for the 2026 fiscal year, and the amount of $900,000 due upon receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy, subject to the following conditions: to further instruct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution documenting the foregoing action to be executed by the Mayor after approval at the next Council Meeting. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) XIII. PETITION, APPEAL, AND COMMUNICATION A. Issuance of a regular Packaged Beer and Wine License, to Peter Allen Barnett, Todd Burgess Littler, John Summerfield Mitchell Jr., Jonathan Lamar Elder, and Harry Rashad Spencer, DBA Family Dollar, Inc., at two locations: 1302 Mountain City Hwy and 2002 Last Chance Road, Elko, NV 89801, and matters related thereto. FOR POSSIBLE ACTION Chief Trouten explained it has taken some time to get the background completed. A temporary license was not issued on this one. He is just asking for the regular license to be issued. Tommy Jackson, Family Dollar, was present via GoToMeeting. Mayor Keener said he hoped the regional management ensures that all laws are monitored for the sale of beer and wine. Mr. Jackson said the corporation offers two types of training to their employees to make sure they are not selling to minors and that they can spot a fake identification when presented with one. They also want to make sure they are not over selling to people that are already under the influence. ** A motion was made by Council Member Stone, seconded by Council Member Morris to approve the issuance of a regular Packaged Beer and Wine License, to Peter Allen Barnett, Todd April 23, 2024 City Council | Minutes Page 13 of 16  Burgess Littler, John Summerfield Mitchell Jr., Jonathan Lamar Elder, and Harry Rashad Spencer, DBA Family Dollar, Inc. at two locations: 1302 Mountain City Hwy and 2002 Last Chance Rd, Elko, NV 89801. The motion passed unanimously. (5-0) XIV. REPORTS A. Mayor and City Council Mayor Keener felt the clean-up went great. He was able to participate in it.

COMMENTS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC Pursuant to N.R.S. 241, this time is devoted to comments by the public, if any, and discussion of those comments. No action may be taken upon a matter raised under this item on the agenda until the matter itself has been specifically included on a successive agenda and identified as an item for possible action.
