We will need to purchase flags for use on the track. 8. Liaison/Nye County Staff/Town Staff Comments (This item limited to announcements or topics/issues proposed for future workshops/agendas) Tom Bolling explained that 98% of the fence line is cut in, waiting for the fence. The road is roughed-in, but we cannot move further due to the 5-acre dust permit. We need to think about the track design to leverage the terrain with existing hills to reduce the work and expense. You have to work the material (including clay, organics) and get the water in about a foot in order to get it to the right consistency. Tom clarified that equipment and fuel comes out of the grant; labor comes out of the county match. He will bring the budget next month. The northeast area should be used for parking because it is already flat, which means there is less dirt to move. Deb Strickland explained that we are not limited to the 40 acres. If the OHV Committee can demonstrate a need for additional land, there is more land that you can ask for. Tom can get quotes from surveying companies to get a topographic map. The Nye County GIS map will show some level of topography detail but might not be detailed enough. Brad Harris offered to get quotes for a track map/layout company if we provide them with a topographic map. Jimmy Martinez commended Public Works for doing a great job. 9. For Possible Action – Discussion and deliberation regarding the possible fencing options provided by Tom Bolling and/or Jimmy Martinez. Jimmy Martinez offered that instead of buying metal T posts, we can use drill pipe metal posts that we can cut and put into the ground. The freeway fencing would include drill pipe, t-posts, 3-wire. After discussing the details of this configuration, Erica Muxlow motioned to approve Jimmy Martinez to get pricing for the freeway fencing, Doug Powell second. There was no opposition. 10. For Possible Action – Discussion and deliberation regarding Advisory Board updates on their respective areas.
