Deb Strickland noted that the equestrian area has moved to the southeast corner. There are 8 ball fields, parking lot, water tower, and an additional ballpark and parking lots. The blue square area east of the OHV park will be designated for balloon launching and model aviator’s field. Sheriff’s Office has requested an 800’ x 800’ paved area for a skid pad. This area can also serve this purpose. Mark Broedling expressed concern that we should specify a minimum fly height to ensure that the aviation does not interfere with events. Jimmy Martinez noted that groups will not be an issue because they will not be permitted to fly or be in the field during events. Deb Strickland stated that the FAA regulations are for minimum fly height of 500 ft and suggested that the OHV Committee similarly specify a minimum flight height. Deb Strickland stated that there is a well, which can be moved to the OHV quadrant and have a grant for $500,000. We will have this water source. We are in deliberation from Great Basin Water Company. Deb Strickland identified that the septic system will be funded by CBDG. The OHV quadrant has a point of diversion for 7 acre-feet that has been prior approved, and we intend to build that as a secondary system. We will spend $40,000 or less and drill a water well and will have a minimum of 7 acre-feet. The well can be moved closer to power. 11. Presentation – Current status and Environmental Assessment update. Mark Broedling motion to add the EA Timeline to the minutes. Doug Powell seconded the motion. There was no public comment, no opposition. Deb Strickland informed the committee that a native American tribe wants to ensure that there are no artifacts on site. This is Standard Operating Procedure for this type of overview for the tribes. We do not believe there will be any indigenous artifacts found in the area. The timeline for the EA is not problematic since we are still working on the dirt planning. Deb Strickland attended the fairgrounds meeting with BEC Environmental and provided the following dates: July 1, 2021 - The Environmental Assessment will be submitted to GOED. Aug 15, 2021 - Review 12. Presentation – Update on resources from the county including the screen; water tower. Deb Strickland reported that Asst Dir Bowling said that we will not move equipment over until we are closer to the date. ---PAGE BREAK--- PAHRUMP OHV PARK ADVISORY COMMITTEE DRAFT MINUTES June 10, 2021 13. Presentation – By Dal Shemp to present information on tractor/equipment rental costs and time estimates. Dal Shemp presented the following information: First Step: Build the perimeter path Second Step: Construct the sound barrier 14. For Possible Action – Discussion and deliberation regarding perimeter path and barrier construction. Equipment & Labor: A water truck and loader are required to get started to build the perimeter path. The best option: a paddle wheel scraper. We do not have one. Approximate Cost: $2470k/ day $7405/wk., $17630/month. May be difficult, as someone at Nye County must have an open line of credit We can use county employees to do this job. The work can be done on regular work time (as opposed to overtime). Deb confirmed: $150k of county funds are available for this work, and we can use those resources Estimate: In the best-case scenario where resources are available: County employees would be able to build the path in one week using Nye County equipment Worst case scenario: Equipment such as loader, tin wheeler, water truck. Does not make sense because it would take too much time. Using the right equipment will allow us to move forward in a cost effective and timely manner Deb Strickland suggested that we ask for the man-hours spent on a similar project to help us estimate the effort more closely. AD Bowling confirmed that the pad (a similar project) cost $58k for 3 weeks. Doug Powell asked if the perimeter path will be Type 2. Dal Shemp responded that the perimeter path will not be Type 2. Jimmy stated that we need to define road vs path to clearly communicate about these requirements. 15. For Possible Action – Discussion and deliberation regarding Public Outreach, Information, Press, and Volunteer Recruitment. Jimmy Lewis stated that we should be referring to the park by the same name to ensure consistent message and communication Dal Shemp would like to see sponsorship. He asked if we have the option to reach out to people for help (with equipment, donations in kind, or anything else) in exchange for sponsorship. Mark Broedling explained that the sponsorship is typically done on an annual basis and the proceeds would go directly into the funds for the park. Mark suggested that this activity would fall under the operations. ---PAGE BREAK--- PAHRUMP OHV PARK ADVISORY COMMITTEE DRAFT MINUTES June 10, 2021 Jimmy Lewis stated that it makes sense to start talking with potential sponsors to seed the idea but recommends that we put sponsorship in the operations committee and table for the next meeting. Dal Shemp motioned to add this topic to the agenda for the next meeting. Jimmy Tyler seconded the motion. There was no public comment, and no opposition. 16. For Possible Action – Discussion and deliberation to appoint a head of the social outreach subcommittee for the Pahrump OHV Park Advisory Committee. Moved to next meeting. 17.
