Those present were Chairman Ken Tipton, Commissioners Marlene Brissenden, Mike Bell, Jim

French and Ron Cerri, Deputy District Attorney Wendy Maddox, County Manager Dave Mendiola and

Clerk of the Board Tami Rae Spero.

CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Tipton called the regular meeting of the Humboldt County Board of

Commissioners to order on Monday, July 6, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. Pursuant to multiple directives due to the

Covid-19 issue, the state law requirement that there be a physical location designated for meeting of

held via teleconference/video conference with public access available for participation and/or comments.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: All present recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Chairman Tipton asked for public comment. Lewis Trout, Post Commander of the

American Legion, appeared via teleconference and commented on the SSIR Rodeo event which occurred

at the Winnemucca Events Center over the past week from the staffing aspect, as members of the

American Legion assisted at the event, regarding an issue with compliance and miscommunication as to

the need to wear masks; he referenced a letter provided by County Manager Mendiola which had been

prepared by County Health Board Public Information Officer Nicole Maher which had made it clear as to

the need to use masks in most cases except for during actual competition but at the beginning there were

only a handful of people going into the grandstands who were wearing masks which resulted in certain

gates being locked and while the indication had been that masks would be made available for those

without them there were no masks available, so Assistant County Manager del Real-Nava had been

contacted and had arranged for 800 masks to be provided but only 500 showed up initially and there was

still confusion over need to use them. Manager Mendiola and Dr. Stringham had spoken to the organizers

and emphasized the need to use the masks to prevent the spread of the virus. The SSIR representatives

had tried to arrange additional masks with the WCVA to sufficiently cover the need but that they were

stonewalled and told that they could be purchased from vendors but said vendors did not have masks, as

the County offices were closed on Friday, contact had been made with Commissioner French who had

contacted WCVA Director Petersen who brought the additional 300 masks to them and those had lasted

through Sunday; he additional commented on a donation of masks from the Winners Casino which had

not actually been donated. Mr. Trout concluded noting the problems created by the inaccurate and

conflicting directions regarding masks and the failure to provide the masks which should have been

10

available. Mr. Trout also commented on the issues created by the faded striping in the parking lot closest

to the grandstand and the need to fix that.

Chairman Tipton asked for further public comment; none offered.

the July 20, 2020 Humboldt County Commission Meeting.

2) Reports from Commissioners regarding other Boards and Committees on which they serve:

Commissioner French noted a scheduling conflict with his Public Lands/Natural Resources NACO meeting

but commented on contact received from a group to request support for a Congressional report and to

move forward with implementing the strategy without restrictions in Nevada; he further noted that he

missed the NACO Board of Directors meeting but had the Vice-President handle it and there had been a

potential credential issue with the National Board but that issue had resolved itself. Commissioner Bell

offered no report. Commissioner Cerri offered no report. Commissioner Brissenden reported on a

Northern Nevada Rural Development Authority meeting at which a training opportunity provided by Great

Basin College called Build Nevada Corp had been discussed. Chairman Tipton reported on a Hospital Board

meeting at which the contract with Tim Powers, the new CEO, had been confirmed and discussion related

to the Cares Act had occurred.

COMPTROLLER: Comptroller Gina Rackley appeared via video conference before the Commission.

FINANCIAL REPORT: Humboldt County Comptroller Gina Rackley will provide an overview of current

conditions with respect to the Humboldt County revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year

(ends June 30, 2020) and the Fiscal Year 2021 (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021), including possible

impacts of the COVID-19 response in the county. Comptroller Rackley reviewed the receipt of PILT noting

that full funding was received and that the transfers were done as identified in the budget direction; that

the detail for CTX for April has been received and that it is up again for Humboldt; she reviewed the status

of the counties which were up and which were done, the different sections of CTX and which were up and

which were down; she provided a Cares Act update including status of funding, the upcoming State

Legislative Special Session, the use of committee meetings to determine the disbursement of the funds

and who serves on behalf of the county and the city on those committees, the plan of the committees to

12

07/06/2020 Page 4 of 13

work together with small businesses, non-profits, the hospital and school districts who have unbudgeted

expenses directly related to COVID-19 and that NACO is facilitating workshops to assist with the process.

Commissioner French asked about which counties are showing a decrease and which are showing an

increase. Comptroller Rackley responded.

CONSIDERATION OF HIRING FREEZE FOR COUNTY PERSONNEL: Consideration, discussion, and possible

action regarding implementing a hiring freeze for all Humboldt County jobs due to the current COVID-19

pandemic and the impact on the local economy. Manager Mendiola explained that this is a monthly item

on the agenda per request of the Commission; he noted that the fiscal report from the Comptroller shows

that the County is doing okay so he does not believe discussion as to a hiring freeze needs to occur at this

time, though he noted concerns about the upcoming special Legislative Session and what that could result

in. The Commission concurred with the Manager’s comments. Commissioner French noted the need to

comply with the County’s 120-day attrition policy when it is possible. Chairman Tipton asked that the

item remain a monthly standing item on the agenda.

Manager Mendiola suggested that Commission move to item 12 on the agenda as it is a public

hearing set to begin at 10:00 a.m. Chairman Tipton concurred.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT: Public Works Director Don Kalkoske appeared before the Commission via

teleconference.

GENERAL ROAD PROJECTS: A presentation by Humboldt County Public Works Director Don Kalkoske to

update the Board on Road projects within Humboldt County, however, no action may be taken on a matter

raised until the matter itself has been specifically included on the agenda as an item upon which action

may be taken. Director Kalkoske reported on the assistance provided to the State on damage to SR 140

caused by a mud slide and the status of the repair and access to Rodeo and Bog Hots roads which resulted

from the same moisture event. He continued reporting on the grading of roads and the upgrading of the

roads to the sewer ponds and water tank in the McDermitt area as well as regular road work in the county.

Commissioner French asked if Director Kalkoske had heard anything from contacts about access to the

roads into Onion Valley/Knott Creek and into Pearl Camp as a result of the storm. Director Kalkoske

responded that he had staff cruise the area and impact is very minimal to Pearl Camp Road but that he

had received some calls and questions as to whether it is passable, that his understanding is that, in one

section where the spring is, someone tried to go around which resulted in two trucks being buried at that

location but that is a portion that is not maintained by the County but he had contacted the BLM who is

aware of it and they are working to get some of the roads re-done over the next month or so, but, he

noted that he doesn’t believe the storm attributed to the issues.

APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURES FOR ANTIBODY TESTING FOR COVID-19 RE-OPENING: Consideration,

discussion, and possible action regarding a request by the Humboldt County Board of Health and the

County Health Officer, Dr. Charles Stringham, to conduct antibody testing as part of the overall economic

re-opening plan in an amount not to exceed $7,000.00. Manager Mendiola reviewed the request

explaining that this is an on-going discussion item for the Board of Health and that Board has identified

this testing as beneficial to the community noting that this amount does not include the equipment for

Humboldt General Hospital which will be purchased using Cares Act funding; he stated that the

recommendation from the Board of Health is to go forward with this process. The following motion was

made by Commissioner Brissenden and passed unanimously:

To approve the expenditures for antibody testing for the Covid-19 re-opening

In an amount not to exceed $7,000.00.

APPROVAL OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY EMPLOYEES' ASSOCIATION COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT:

Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding the 2020-2021 collective bargaining agreement

between Humboldt County, a subdivision of the State of Nevada, and the Humboldt County Employees

Association (HCEA) for the 2021 fiscal year. A copy of the proposed 2020-2021 Agreement between the

County of Humboldt and the Humboldt County Employees Association was included on the on-line agenda

for review. Manager Mendiola reviewed the request for the Commission referring to the prior approval

of the contract with the Law Enforcement Unit and noting that this agreement with the General Unit is

similar in structure with agreement for a 2% COLA and a 2.5% merit increase, if revenues are at a certain

level for the County when we get through the Covid issue, so the Unit has agreed to suspend the

implementation of both the COLA and the merits to at least December 2nd then when negotiations are

reopened the impact to the County will be looked at; he reviewed the possible levels of implementation

depending on what occurs with the fiscal impact.

Human Resources Director, Abel del Real-Nava appeared via teleconference and reviewed the

changes in the contract including the previously noted COLA and Merit postponing, longevity bonuses,

standby pay for employees, education incentive program and employee expectations, language course

incentive program, dispatcher and central control training pay, sick leave, military leave policies, court

leave, FMLA language and the terms of agreement. He thanked Betty Lawrence and the General Unit

team for their efforts in the negotiation process. Mrs. Lawrence thanked Chairman Tipton, Comptroller

Rackley, Manager Mendiola and Human Resources Director del Real-Nava for working with the unit during

this process. The following motion was made by Commissioner Bell and passed unanimously:

To approve as presented.

Department Staff Report recommending approval was included on the on-line agenda for review.

Commissioner Bell asked about fire protection based on comments offered by the Public Works Director.

Mrs. Lawrence responded that there is access from Johnson and Brown Lanes and that she had received

no comments from Winnemucca Rural Fire Chief Torrey Sheen and that no properties would have

restricted access as there is other access available. Commissioner Bell asked, if there were further

development, would it create any issues or impact with access. Mrs. Lawrence noted that the property

to the east of Lavender cannot be parceled any further but, if it were developed, the access would be

from Johnson Lane. Commissioner French asked, if this request is approved, is it limiting future

development off of Lavender. Mrs. Lawrence stated no that there are already restrictions in place via

County Code due to insufficient acreage for parceling down and explained. Chairman Tipton asked for

public comment; none offered. The following motion was made by Commissioner Brissenden and passed

unanimously:

To approve the abandonment request AH-20-03 an abandonment request submitted

by Donald R. Lykke to abandon the existing 25’ x 649.66’ + right-of-way, known as

is located at 3090 Mars Avenue; Assessor’s Parcel #13-0457-07. A copy of the Planning Department Staff

Commission noting the prior approval by the Board but then there was an issue with barbwire strands

added to the top which increased the height. Chairman Tipton asked for public comment; none offered.

The following motion was made by Commissioner Brissenden and passed unanimously:

TREASURER: Treasurer Rhona Lecumberry appeared via teleconference.

REQUEST TO PROCEED WITH THE 2021 DELINQUENT TAX AUCTION: Consideration, discussion, and

possible action regarding a request from Humboldt County Treasurer Rhona Lecumberry to proceed with

the 2021 Delinquent Tax Auction of properties that are delinquent on their taxes. Included on the on-line

agenda for review was the Parcel List for the April 2021 Delinquent Tax Auction (see attached) and a memo

from County Treasurer Lecumberry detailing the request. Treasurer Lecumberry noted that the 2020

Auction had been cancelled due to the Covid-19 situation and so the properties from that auction are

being carried over to 2021 resulting in a total of 84 delinquent parcels with a combined outstanding

balance of $71,625.86; she noted that discussion had occurred with legal counsel about doing the 2021

auction on-line if the Covid restrictions continue but any decision on that possibility would be brought

back before the Commission for discussion. The following motion was made by Commissioner French and

passed unanimously:

To grant the request from the Humboldt County Treasurer to proceed with the 2021

Delinquent Tax Auction of properties as presented.

positions at the Detention Center. A copy of a memo detailing the request from the Sheriff was included

on the on-line agenda for review. Sheriff Allen reviewed the request for the Commission. Commissioner

French asked if the Nevada Post is open due to the Covid situation. Sheriff Allen responded that it had

remained open and explained. Commissioner Cerri asked if it is anticipated that these vacancies would

be in the Detention Center. Sheriff Allen responded that they would probably be in patrol but per the

career development policy in the department Detention Deputies will transfer to patrol so those are the

vacancies which will be filled. The following motion was made by Commissioner Brissenden:

To approve the waiver of the Attrition Policy for two Deputy Sheriff positions.

After discussion the following amended motion was offered by Commissioner Brissenden and

passed unanimously:

To approve the waiver of the Attrition Policy for two Deputy Sheriff positions at the

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL MORMON CRICKET TREATMENT FUNDS IN RURAL COUNTY: Consideration,

discussion, and possible action to provide additional funding to treat Mormon Cricket infestations in rural

area of Humboldt County. Earlier requests for funding were approved for the Winnemucca area and more

funding was provided for follow-up treatment, however, the Orovada area is experiencing heavy

infestations and additional treatments will be necessary. The project will not exceed $15,000 and will be

paid from the current Insect Control Fund. Manager Mendiola reviewed the request for the Commission

noting that this will partially pay for work already done and anticipated work. Commissioner Cerri

commented on the current situation in Orovada as the crickets are very heavy and treatment needs to

not only occur at the farms but also in the community of Orovada; he noted that farmers and ranchers in

the area are spending their own funds to treat their lands but where the help is needed is on the

surrounding federal grounds. Chairman Tipton noted that he had went up into the Water Canyon area

and it appeared that the numbers were getting bad there again. Commissioner French observed that

Commissioner Cerri had made the Commission aware of the potential issue in Orovada when the prior

funding for the Winnemucca area had been approved and they had agreed to consider additional funding

if needed; he further noted that if treatment can occur before they lay their eggs it will result in a cost

savings next year. The following motion was made by Commissioner French and passed unanimously:

To grant additional funding to treat for Mormon crickets in the rural part of the County

with the amount not to exceed $15,000.00 and to be paid out of the current Insect Control

Fund.

PRESENTATION BY NEVADA LITHIUM REGARDING THACKER PASS LITHIUM PROJECT: A presentation by

Lithium Nevada regarding its Thacker Pass Lithium Project, to include but not limited to concerns about

water consumption, environmental, and a general update on the project. Alexi Zawadzki, CEO of Nevada

Lithium, appeared before the Commission via video conference and provided a Power Point Presentation

entitled Lithium Nevada Thacker Pass Project which included information on ongoing public engagement,

about Lithium Americas Corp., project needs, Thacker Pass-largest know lithium deposit in the US,

environmental stewardship and permitting, water analysis including rights and planned usage, mining

methods and processing, emergency response planning, proposed time-line and economic benefits.

Chairman Tipton asked where the processing of the product would occur. Mr. Zawadzki responded that

everything would be done at Thacker Pass and explained how the processing occurs. Chairman Tipton

asked about the ownership of Nevada Lithium and Mr. Zawadzki responded. Commissioner French asked

if there was any anticipation for incorporating any surface water sources during any part of the process

and offered further detail to his question. Mr. Zawadzki responded that they would not look to any surface

17

07/06/2020 Page 9 of 13

water sources to make up any shortfall, that they are doing what they can to reduce the draw down and

discussed the current well’s production and the back up well plan; he again noted that they do not

anticipate extracting any water from surface sources. Commissioner French asked if the draw down

model contemplated the 30-year water production model average for this part of the Great Basin. Mr.

Zawadzki noted that there has been data collected since 2009 but that they have looked at a longer time

frame. Hydrogeologist Tyler Cluff with Nevada Lithium appeared via teleconference and reviewed the

approach used for estimating ground water recharge to the basin. Commissioner French commented that

the difference in annual precipitation in this part of the Great Basin has really shifted and that he has

worries that the model may be too optimistic; he asked what protocols would the company use for an

above average precipitation situation noting his concern and the need for that to be considered. Mr.

Zawadzki responded explaining the surface water management sites and how they are designed, stating

that there is a surface water management plan in place and what that includes; he noted that he can

provide design information to the Commission if they wish.

Commissioner Cerri disclosed that he is a resident of Orovada and neighbor to Nevada Lithium

and he has been hearing concerns from residents as many feel negative towards the project because of

what it may mean to the quality of life to the community including the environmental impacts and the

increase of traffic on US 95; he noted that there a number of folks who question the statistics produced

with water modeling and that there are concerns about the amount of sulfur being brought in; he

continued noting the need to convince him and the other residents that there are no worries.

Commissioner Cerri asked about the haul trucks and the reference to them being one-way. Mr. Zawadzki

explained. Commissioner Cerri stated his understanding that the project has a lot to offer but noted his

concerns as the residents of Orovada live in rural community as a choice and they don’t want to see that

lifestyle change; he stated that he looks forward to hearing more about the questions and his hope is that

the concerns from the landowners with the permits are taken into full consideration and would be

addressed prior to the plant going into production. Mr. Zawadzki stated that he would be pleased to

provide the air report and commented that the type of sulfur they are using does not create an odor and

explained. Commissioner Bell asked if they are planning for a railroad spur in the location. Mr. Zawadzki

responded that a spur is not in the current plan but that they have done a pre-feasibly study and it is

feasible. Commissioner Bell noted his understanding of Commissioner Cerri’s concerns but stated his

hope that everything goes well.

Edward Bartell offered public comment via video conference stating that it is troubling as much

of what is being said is false and Lithium Nevada knows it is false; he commented on the impact on local

18

07/06/2020 Page 10 of 13

wells when they did their testing and that they trespassed on private properties when doing their

permitting and the inaccurate data being provided; he continued voicing his concerns about the planned

burning of sulfur in high amounts and/or the dumping of it on the tailings pile, they are claiming that it

will not create an odor but he questioned what would happen when it does, that they are promising local

jobs but with their other mines the vast amount of product is sold to Chinese companies, that what they

are doing and saying are two different worlds. Mr. Zawadzki responded that he is aware of Mr. Bartell’s

concerns with the project and referred him to the water analysis for what the impacts would be. Mr.

Bartell responded that an earlier presentation said no impact on wells and referred to what report shows

and not seeing any communication on making anyone whole for what is lost; he again noted the

trespassing and inaccurate data stating that if the base-line data is not correct than the whole analysis is

wrong; he further commented on the ownership of the company by a foreign company. Mr. Zawadzki

responded that they will not use the partner used in Argentina in the United States as that is not allowed

in the United States. Mr. Bartell responded that the foreign company is already part of the company and

they sit on the board of directors. Discussion ensued as to the ownership and what is allowed under the

laws of the United States with Mr. Zawadzki stating that the company is not a partner on this project.

Chairman Tipton asked if there was any further public comment; none offered. Chairman Tipton

thanked Mr. Zawadzki for presentation. Mr. Zawadzki thanked the Commission for the opportunity to

present to them and confirmed that he would be sending the air report Commissioner Cerri and stated

that he was always open to further discussion with Mr. Bartell if needed. Mr. Bartell commented on the

need to have independent third party involvement, someone who is not under the control of Lithium

Nevada to complete the studies due to the issues with inaccuracies and trespass; he thanked the

Commission for their time.

Chairman Tipton called for a five-minute recess beginning at 11:55 a.m. and reconvening at 12:00

p.m.

APPROVAL TO PROCEED WITH APPLICATION PROCESS FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS:

A) Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding a proposed project to renovate the Fifth Street

entrance to comply with ADA requirements to mandate a single point of entry with screening apparatus

in times of pandemic to respond to, and prevent the spread of coronavirus or other diseases for the safety

of the public and employees. No funding is needed at this time. Manager Mendiola reviewed the request

for the Commission noting that this is another funding source separate from the Cares Act and while the

County does not usually qualify for CDBG grants with this being specific to the pandemic technically the

County can qualify for this grant which can include infrastructure; he noted that the request at this time

19

07/06/2020 Page 11 of 13

is only for approval to start the application process there is no request for match funding or anything, this

is just to see if the Commission is interested. Manager Mendiola explained what potential options are for

use of funds as to the ramp entrance to the courthouse. The following motion was made by Commissioner

Bell and passed unanimously:


B) Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding a county sponsored project for the

Winnemucca Domestic Violence Shelter proposal to purchase a centralized property to respond to the

lack of available shelter caused by the coronavirus pandemic or other future diseases. The property will

provide victims of domestic violence a safe environment during stay-at-home orders, self-quarantine

requirements, or while transitioning to permanent housing. No funding is needed for this action. Manager

Mendiola reviewed the request for the Commission. Commissioner French asked if this would result in

any future obligation for the County. Tiffany Stickney representing Winnemucca Domestic Violence

Services Inc. stated that it would not. The following motion was made by Commissioner Bell and passed

unanimously:

PUBLIC COMMENT: Chairman Tipton asked for public comment. Tom Hoss asked about the total just

spent for today and expenditures from the prior meeting and questioned the need to augment. Manager

Mendiola explained the equipment plan, noting the original budget amount of $140,000.00 but with the

of the Board Tami Rae Spero.

CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Tipton called the Emergency Special meeting to order on Friday, May 8, 2020

at 4:00 p.m. Pursuant to multiple directives due to the Covid-19 issue, the state law requirement that

there be a physical location designated for meeting of public bodies where members of the public attend

and participate was suspended so this meeting was held via teleconference/video conference with public


PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: All present recited Pledge of Allegiance.

NATURE OF EMERGENCY AND WHY NORMAL NOTICE COULD NOT BE GIVEN: Deputy District Attorney

Maddox read the following notification from District Attorney Michael Macdonald into the record: We

have been dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic for that last couple months. Governor Sisolak declared

an emergency on March 12, 2020 and had issued 17 Directives prior to yesterday to reduce interpersonal

contact and to promote the safety and health of Nevadans. These Directives in part require social

distancing, as well as defined and closed numerous non-essential businesses.

Yesterday afternoon on May 7, 2020, Governor Sisolak held a press conference announcing the

Roadmap to Recovery for Nevada and Directive 018 which provide that certain non-essential businesses

may open on May 9, 2020 as long as certain restrictions are followed. The Governor also delegated to

each county and municipality the authority to adopt additional protective measures so long as they are at

least as restrictive as the Governor’s Directives, and the restrictive measures adopted by the counties and

municipalities may be implemented without additional approval by the State. Unfortunately, over the

last several days, Humboldt County has experienced a rise in the number of cases of coronavirus.

Because of the Governor’s plan to re-open certain businesses tomorrow which was not foreseen,

there was insufficient time to provide 3 days’ notice and post an agenda pursuant to the open meeting

law to discuss whether additional protective measures should be adopted in Humboldt County to prevent

further impairment of the health and safety of the public based on this virus.

Therefore, I determined that an emergency existed under the open meeting law in NRS 241.020,

to allow the board of county commissioners to meet today to discuss this matter and possibly, take action.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Chairman Tipton asked for public comment. None offered.

26

GOVERNOR SISOLAK ROAD TO RECOVERY RE-OPENING PLAN: Consideration, discussion, and possible

action regarding the directive by Governor Steve Sisolak on Thursday, May 7, 2020 to begin a partial re-

opening of the Nevada economy, to include, but not limited to the acceptance of the Governor's re-

opening plan, or possible additional restrictions specific to Humboldt County businesses. Included on the

on-line agenda for review was a copy of Governor Sisolak’s Roadmap to Recovery for Nevada Guidelines

and Protocols for Reopening. Chairman Tipton stated that the is good with going with Governor’s plan

the way he has it laid out as it seems a fair way to go forward.

Commissioner Brissenden agreed with Chairman Tipton that the Governor’s guidelines seem

sufficient to start a partial re-opening and to get the economy back up and running again.

Commissioner Cerri agreed with what has been said that the directive appears to be adequate

from public safety standards and businesses have sufficient safety procedures available if something

should arise; he did not see the need for additional stricter standards at this point.

Commissioner Bell agreed noting the need to keep in touch with businesses but if they are

providing services it is their responsibility and is incumbent on them to do what is necessary as they don’t

want to be shut down again plus there is a team in place to address issues, if something comes up.

Commissioner French agreed with all of the comments noting that based on the local infection

statistics with cases not being traced to those businesses currently open and with the strict Governor’s

guidelines, he believes this offers little or no risk for the public plus there is the benefit of having the FAST

team as they will be watching and address any issues; he noted the importance of businesses opening as

soon as possible and not waiting.

Dr. Stringham noted concerns as open businesses, from a medical perspective, are not as safe as

closed ones but there is another type of risk with not opening so he supports the opening and has

reviewed the plan which seems sufficient but noted some concerns with taking down the handrails, so to

speak; he noted the need to continue the safety behaviors in the future as that is what protects; he

commented on concerns with certain businesses with close proximity and noted his support for mask

usage.

Deputy District Attorney Maddox explained that the County cannot require the businesses to

require masks unless it goes through the ordinance process.

Paige Brooks offered public comment noting that most businesses that she has spoken to are

asking customers that come in to have masks

27

Commissioner Cerri stated his agreement with Dr. Stringham’s comments and asked about the

businesses not mentioned in the reopening plan and questioned how will it be determined if it is legal or

not for them to open, such as real estate and government offices.

Commissioner Brissenden noted information being provided by NACO and suggested there may

be more specific guidelines coming out.

Discussion ensued regarding how government offices will be addressed per OSHA.

Discussion occurred as to what is open and not open and what the guidelines are.

Discussion ensued regarding the requirements as to how business operations will be handled per

the Governor’s directive.


To approve Governor Sisolak’s Road to Recovery Reopening Plan with no additional

restrictions that Humboldt County businesses need to do.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Chairman Tipton asked for public comment. Chairman Tipton offered his thanks

personally and as a Commissioner to JJ Goicoechea, Dagney Stapleton Dr. Stringham and Dave Mendiola

among others for all of their efforts with this situation. Deputy District Attorney Maddox suggested that

the Commission continue to have this item on meeting agendas in order to take action if necessary and

that a copy of the Governor’s directive be provided to businesses.

Assistant County Manager Abel del Real-Nava gave directions on how to access the directive on

the County’s Covid-19 page.

Paige Brooks noted that the State Cosmetology page has directions on their website.

John Arant owner of the Martin Hotel offered public comment on the directives stating that they

will make it work but noting his staff’s concern about continued spread of the disease through people that

are not self-quarantining. Chairman Tipton noted both Dr. Stringham and the FAST team’s efforts with

this issue and the information in the directive regarding how to handle those that are not self-

quarantining. Deputy District Attorney Maddox noted NRS 441a.180 which allows the health official to

take certain actions and individuals can be prosecuted; she commented that she is currently working on

what would need to occur.

Jill Stepper offered public comment and questioned whether the non-opening of gyms can it be

appealed and gave an example of a location that has different situations. Deputy District Attorney

Maddox explained that she can’t give legal direction but suggested that she direct her question to the

County Manager and referred to sections 18, 19 and 20 of the directive.

No further public comment offered.

34

05/18/2020 Page 6 of 14

preliminary map showing the area of coverage but that he was not sure what it ended up being so he

would like to see a map which shows the actual coverage. Manager Mendiola stated that he would run it

down and make sure everyone gets a copy including Pueblo and Blue Mountain. The following motion

was made by Commissioner French and passed unanimously:

Association (RFPA) in accordance with NRS Chapter 472.200 and

NAC 472.100-472.170 inclusive to operate in their identified zone

REQUEST TO COMPLETE APPLICATION FOR WASTE WATER PIPELINE EXTENSION TO GRASS VALLEY:

Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding a request to submit an application to the State

of Nevada, Division of Environmental Protection, Division of Clean Water, to apply for a $100,000 grant

to complete a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) to construct a waste water pipeline from the City of

Winnemucca's termination point on Grass Valley Road to a point in the Star City Water District for the

purpose of constructing the Winnemucca system with the long-term goal of providing service to residents

in Grass Valley to begin mitigation of the rising nitrate levels in the water serving those area water systems

and personal wells. The county will need to match 15% ($15,000) of the overall cost of the PER, which Farr

West Engineering has agreed to provide $7,500 of that contribution in the form of in-kind match. Manager

Mendiola reviewed the request noting the length of time this has been a concern, potential solutions

being looked at and the extent of what would be involved; he noted that anything discussed here as to

possible approval would depend on the approval of the acceptance of the Star City Water System by the

County. Manager Mendiola continued noting discussion which had occurred with the City Manager about

a possible extension of the city system, how the funding would work with the Division of Clean Water,

prior assistance by provided by Farr West, the possibility of City Manager Heiser helping which would

assist in reducing costs, the funding required by the County and how to address potential issues with the

property owners in the area.

Commissioner Brissenden questioned the area to be covered. Manager Mendiola explained that

the initial phase would only be the Star City area but that there were other scenarios for other areas

coming in. Commissioner Brissenden commented that she was happy that this was occurring as it was

long overdue and thanked Manager Mendiola for his efforts.

Commissioner French commented on a water summit which had occurred in the past where

nitrate levels were discussed and this area had been targeted as concerning; he noted the economic

development benefit of growth in area and his understanding of the issues that property owners might

35

05/18/2020 Page 7 of 14

have as to not wanting to spend additional dollars; he continued noting what had been previously

identified and the costs associated with that and stated that this was a proactive approach and the right

direction to move in.

Commissioner Bell commented that it looks like a good process but questioned that, if this is just

the preliminary engineering report without a lot of detail, could the agreement expire if it can’t get all

done right away. Manager Mendiola responded and commented on the amount of detail which will be

included. Commissioner Bell agreed that it would be money well spent.

Commissioner Cerri agreed that this has been an on-going problem and it has come to a place

where it needs to be dealt with, sooner rather later but he noted the need to understand that the County

is taking on a whole new big job and that the Public Works Department can barely take care of what they

have now, that the Department will need to grow to cover this additional workload; he further noted that

he doesn’t want residents to think this will be free, there will need to be the ability to pay the costs

associated.

Chairman Tipton stated his agreement with everything said and that he understands the long term

problem so, if anything can be dealt with, that would be great but that looking at the costs, he does not

want this to effect all county tax payers, it must be on the property owners.

Manager Mendiola offered comments on the financial part of this issue and how it could be

financially addressed.


To approve the submission of an application to the State of Nevada,

Division of Environmental Protection, Division of Clean Water, to apply

for a $100,000 grant to complete a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER)

to construct a waste-+water pipeline from the City of Winnemucca's termination

point on Grass Valley Road to a point in the Star City Water District for the

purpose of constructing the Winnemucca system with the long-term goal

of providing service to residents in Grass Valley to begin mitigation of the

rising nitrate levels in the water serving those area water systems and

personal wells not to exceed $15,000.00.

HUBBARD HOUSE: STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PROPOSAL: Consideration, discussion, and possible action

regarding a request from the Winnemucca Main Street to contract with a structural engineer to assess

the Hubbard House at 534 Bridge Street and report back the findings. The proposals range in price from

$1,200 to as much as $3,000. The work will be commissioned and paid through funds from private sources.

36

05/18/2020 Page 8 of 14

Included on the on-line agenda for review was a copy of a proposal from Nelson Wilcox Structural

Engineers including a fees schedule. Dana Toth, Director of the Humboldt Museum appeared before the

Commission and commented on the two quotes received and what is being looked at for the building.

Commissioner French commented on the amount identified in the agenda, the initial proposal for

raising money from private sources for purpose of preserving the building and the long-term plan for the

building. Director Toth responded that the long-term plan has not been determined at this point, but she

commented on several options that could be pursued noting that this assessment will allow them to

determine if it is even possible. Commissioner French stated that he remembered when money was spent

on the building in the past and it was set aside as an art gallery but when interest waned the building was

abandoned and sat unmaintained so he is not interested in taking the possibility off the table for use of

the area for county expansion unless there is a plan in place to preserve the site into the future. Director

Toth commented on the time and active involvement which it will take to make this work noting the

efforts to revitalize the downtown which will not be done over-night but noted the need to find out what

we have to work with.

Commissioner Brissenden agreed with the need to find out what we have to work with; she asked

Manager Mendiola to display the second quote from Dube Group and commented on what Director Toth

and the Museum Board are doing.

Discussion ensued regarding the quotes received. Director Toth commented on both and stated

the preference for the Dube Group. Deputy District Attorney Maddox commented that as the County is

not paying for it, who is selected would be up to them, the County would just need to give them

permission to do the structural engineering study.

Commissioner Cerri stated that he is all for preserving historic properties but noted that this is on

the county block, so he agrees that the first step is to determine if the building is structurally sound that

is important but he noted that sometime in the future it may be necessary to develop that block for future

expansion needs of the county, that is why the building was purchased so we need to make sure the

building fits into that.

Commissioner Bell agreed with Commissioners Cerri and French’s comments, but he suggested

that they get the structural review done and then look at how to best utilize the building. The following

motion was made by Commissioner Brissenden:

To approve a request from the Winnemucca Main Street to contract

with a structural engineer to assess the Hubbard House at 534 Bridge

Street and report back the findings.

37

05/18/2020 Page 9 of 14

Director Toth noted that while she is associated with the Winnemucca Main Street it would be

the Northern Nevada Historical Society that will be proceeding with this project. Discussion ensued as to

the language of the motion and it was determined that the motion as made was sufficient. Chairman

Tipton called Commissioner Brissenden’s motion to a vote and it passed unanimously.

Director Toth updated the Board on what is occurring with access to the museum.

Chairman Tipton recessed the meeting at 11:18 a.m. reconvening at 11:21 a.m.

Chairman Tipton stated that would be moving to item 19

UPDATE ON GROUND BAITING AND REQUEST TO DO FOLLOW UP BAITING: A presentation including

updates as to the effectiveness of the first ground baiting effort and possible action regarding a plan by

the City of Winnemucca and the county to do additional treatments in areas where the treatments were

not as effective. The initial treatments were around the perimeter of Winnemucca from I-80 East of

Winnemucca south and west to the Pershing County line in Grass Valley and from the north side of Hwy

95 near Reinhart south and west along Winnemucca Mountain to the Winnemucca Waste Water

Treatment Facility. Round 2 of treatments will not exceed $5,000 and will be paid from the current Insect

Control Fund. Manager Mendiola commented on having driven around and speaking to people and it

appears that the treatment to this point has been pretty successful though there were spots where

crickets broke through; he continuing stating that it seems we won’t get aerial spraying but have not yet

received an update on that or ground baiting by the State; he noted that he has not spoken to the City

about additional funding as these areas are primarily in the county.

City Manager Heiser commented that she is fairly happy overall with the job done as she had

concerns about the weather and the effect it would have on the bait when applied and that all funds

previously approved had been expended and the City Council has not dedicated any additional funding

but that could be brought back if necessary; she noted that she had reviewed the areas where treatment

had occurred and saw dead crickets; she commented on the inspections done by the BLM on their lands

and the effectiveness of their treatments.

Commissioner French agreed with Manager Heiser that in certain areas they got very effective

control but noted that in the Winnemucca Mountain area the crickets had moved below the area treated

which resulted in many of the infestations for which complaints were received; he commented on the

time-frame for the second wave if it occurs but it might be regional by that point so it would be necessary

to only treat the hot spots, so he is not sure that there will be a need for an additional $5,000.00 but, if

there is anything positive with this year’s insect control budget, its that there shouldn’t be issues with

38

05/18/2020 Page 10 of 14

black flies and mosquitos like there would be during a high water year so additional funds could be

directed to the cricket situation if necessary.

Commissioner Cerri asked what the bait being used is. Manager Heiser responded. Commissioner

Cerri commented that the infestation is widespread in the northern area and unless there is a hard winter

it will probably grow.

Commissioner Bell commented that first round seemed to help and asked what the expectation

is for a second wave and when would that happen. Commissioner French responded.

Chairman Tipton commented on the reports of grass hopper hatchings. Commissioner Cerri

agreed and said that will be a much bigger issue than the crickets; but that there is nothing we can do as

they are coming off BLM lands.

Commissioner Brissenden asked if anyone had spoken to Dick Rowe about what he thought.

Manager Mendiola confirmed that he had and commented on their review of the first round of treatment.

The following motion was made by Commissioner French and passed unanimously:

To earmark/set aside an additional $5,000.00 in case there is another

infestation to assist in preventing them from ending up in town and to

address the situation prior to the laying of eggs which benefits the budget

next year with the funds to come from insect control budget.

Manager Mendiola noted that he had a request into AFIS to obtain a sense of what their plans

might be, which may preclude the County from having to use any additional funds. Commissioner Cerri

asked if the State will provide bait for the County to apply. Manager Mendiola responded.

Chairman Tipton asked for public comments. None offered.

TREASURER: Treasurer Rhona Lecumberry appeared before the Commission.

ASSESSOR: Chief Deputy Assessor Andy Heiser appeared before the Commission.

FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION REGARDING WAIVER OF THE COUNTY ATTRITION POLICY FOR DATA

COLLECTOR AND/OR APPRAISER: Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding a request to

waive the county attrition policy for a data collector and/or appraiser position. This request was denied

at the April 6, 2020 meeting, Assessor Jeff Johnson announced his retirement at the May 4th meeting and

the Commission also requested that additional information be provided to show the need for the position

at this time. Andy Heiser will return with that information. Deputy Heiser reviewed the information for

the Commission noting that, if the waiver is not approved today, he would be bringing the request to hire

back on June 15th when the sixty days is up.

Commissioner French questioned if anyone within the Office would be looking to fill this position.

Deputy Heiser responded that there are two interested in performing a dual role which was included in

the information provided; he noted that the GIS Clerk has the most capability of doing a dual role but

going out to show her what to do is dependent on time available and that the Deeds Clerk is interested in

pursuing the appraiser position but her current duties do not allow for a lot of time so with doing dual

duties he is not sure how long it would take for her to become a certified appraiser.

Commissioner Bell stated that whether this is approved today or in thirty days it is essential that

we approve the position as this Office is under a time crunch and it is a revenue producing office, that

40

05/18/2020 Page 12 of 14

they will be facing many things with these upcoming changes so this is not the place to be cutting at this

time; he stated that he is in favor of approving the attrition waiver.

Commissioner Brissenden commented that she understands that this puts the Assessor in a

difficult position but since they don’t know where the county budget stands, that is a concern to.

Commissioner Cerri agreed that it is a difficult call as the revenues are critically important but he

also stated his concern with Andy taking on a difficult situation at the same time but his worry with the

revenues has him still leaning to trying to use an internal person to fill in and perhaps some temporary

help; he continued stating that he would like to see what comes in for CTX for March and April to see what

the situation is but until then we need to make the best out of what we have; he commented that he

would like to see discussion about a hiring freeze until we see what the numbers are.

Deputy Assessor Heiser commented on what his plan is and noted that the revenue loss would

affect other entities such as the School District.

Commissioner French commented on funding concerns and suggested that a place marker be put

on this position so can be considered when we know the numbers.

Chairman Tipton agreed and stated that he would like to see them continue operating as is until

we see what the CTX revenues are and perhaps keep this item on the agenda so if need be the Board can

make a decision if information is made available.

Deputy Assessor Heiser asked when to bring the matter back before the Board. Chairman Tipton

stated to come back in June. The following motion was made by Commissioner Bell:

To not move forward at this time but to bring back at the June 15th

meeting.

Commissioner Cerri noted that while the March CTX will give us a feel, April is what is needed.

Comptroller Rackley explained what will be looked at with revenues. Chairman Tipton called

Commissioner Bell’s motion to a vote and it passed unanimously.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT: Public Works Director Don Kalkoske appeared before the Commission.

GENERAL ROAD PROJECTS: A presentation by Humboldt County Public Works Director Don Kalkoske to

update the Board on Road projects within Humboldt County, however, no action may be taken on a matter

raised until the matter itself has been specifically included on the agenda as an item upon which action

may be taken. Director Kalkoske reported on the dust control program, road work on Jungo Road, a

request from the BLM regarding an environmental analysis regarding road disturbances outside the

perimeters and road maintenance being done in Paradise and Orovada due to the rain.

BUILDINGS & GROUNDS: Buildings & Grounds Director Enoc Gaitan appeared before the Commission.

41

05/18/2020 Page 13 of 14

REPLACEMENT OF RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR: Consideration, discussion, and possible action

regarding a request to replace a reciprocating compressor that terminally failed on May 4, 2020 with a re-

manufactured Trane 50-Ton semi-hermetic 460 Volt reciprocating compressor from A-1 Commercial

Service Company in an amount not to exceed $21,000. This price includes a "core charge" that will be

reimbursed after the return of the defective compressor. A copy of a budget pricing proposal from A-1

Commercial Service Company was included on the on-line agenda for review. Manager Mendiola

reviewed the request for the Commission noting that this item is critical to the HVAC system in the

courthouse. Director Gaitan appeared before the Commission and explained that he had contacted two

local companies, Flores Heating & Conditioning and Sierra Air, that both had looked at it but as it was a

big job they needed more information so he does not have a second quote as of yet; he continued

explaining that he had also contacted A-1 Commercial and, as they have been working with the county’s

system and know this system, they had provided a quote and indicated that they can get it delivered and

fixed in less than in week. Director Gaitan explained how the system works and noted the high risks to

have only one unit working and the age of the current compressor that is working. Chairman Tipton asked

about the quoted price from A-1. Director Gaitan explained that it is for replacement and for the core,

that once the core is received that amount would be reimbursed back to the county. Commissioner

Brissenden asked Deputy District Attorney Maddox if they would be okay to proceed. Deputy District

Attorney Maddox responded that since the amount is under $20,000.00 another quote is not required by

statute just by County policy. Comptroller Rackley agreed that the Commission could move forward since

the amount is under $20,000.00 and as this is also sort of an emergency.

Chairman Tipton noted that he would hate to hold off and risk losing the other compressor.

Commissioner Bell agreed that they should go ahead with it as it is on the edge of an emergency.

Commissioner Cerri agreed noting that this is a case where they do have to do this as it is an

emergency and could cost more by trying to save money.

Commissioner French concurred and offered the following motion which passed unanimously:

To approve the action requesting to replace a reciprocating compressor

that terminally failed on May 4, 2020 with a re-manufactured Trane 50-Ton

semi-hermetic 460 Volt reciprocating compressor from A-1 Commercial

Service Company in an amount not to exceed $21,000.00 with the expectation

that the core charge will be refunded back to the County at a later date.

CENSUS UPDATE: Garrett Kalt, Census Regional Coordinator in Northern Nevada will provide an update

on the status of the census in Humboldt County. Mr. Kalt gave an update on the census for both Humboldt

42

05/18/2020 Page 14 of 14

County and the State including activities which had occurred prior to the Covid-19 shutdown, what is

occurring now, his purpose in the rural areas, the time line for the census and how the census will proceed.

FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: Commissioner Brissenden asked about the status of the water Ordinance.

Manager Mendiola updated the Board on what is occurring prior to bringing the matter before the

Commission. Commissioner Brissenden noted that the sooner the better and that she is okay with a

virtual town hall meeting. Commissioner French asked that there be a standing item on the agenda

related to insect control until the 1st of July so the Commission can respond in timely matter to any issues.

Manager Mendiola agreed. Manager Mendiola noted an item related to the hiring freeze on the next

agenda and for June 15th Assessor attrition policy request. Nothing further offered.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Chairman Tipton asked for public comment. None offered.

Humboldt County Procurement Policy For Federal Awards

Based on “Uniform Administrative Requirements”

1. Purpose.

This Policy provides a standard reference to established policy, procedures, and guidelines for the procurement of supplies, services, and construction in Humboldt County (“the County”). The underlying purposes of this Policy are:

A. To simplify, clarify, and modernize the law governing procurement by this County;

B. To permit the continued development of procurement policies and practices;

C. To provide for increased public confidence in the procedures followed in public procurement;

D. To ensure the fair and equitable treatment of all persons who deal with the procurement system of this County;

E. To provide increased economy in County procurement activities and to maximize to the fullest extent practicable the purchasing value of public funds of the County;

F. To ensure that goods and services purchased for the performance of a federal grant are obtained in a cost-effective manner and in compliance with federal regulations.

G. To provide safeguards for the maintenance of a procurement system of quality and integrity, and

H. To obtain in a cost-effective and responsive manner the materials, services, and construction required by the County in order to better serve this County’s businesses and residents.

2. Application.

The Policy will become effective upon approval of the Board of Commissioners. Unless otherwise provided by law, this Policy applies to contracts solicited or entered into after the effective date. This Policy shall apply to every expenditure of public funds irrespective of their source, including state and federal assistance monies. Nothing in this Policy shall prevent the County, or any governmental body or political subdivision from complying with the terms and conditions of any grant, gift, bequest, or cooperative agreement.

When the procurement involves the expenditure of federal assistance or contract funds, the procurement shall be conducted in accordance with any applicable mandatory federal law and regulation which is not reflected in this Policy. When this Policy does not specifically address a procurement issue, the issue may be resolved in accordance with the applicable section of the NRS 332 and current policy.

47

2 | P a g e

3. Changes

This Policy is intended to serve as a living document reflecting best procurement practices, and changes may be made to this Policy from time to time. The County Manager or County Comptroller may issue official interim or supplemental procurement policy guidance in the form of Policy Directives. Changes and interim or supplemental guidance shall be effective when approved by the County Commissioners and shall apply to procurements in progress to the extent feasible under the terms of the issued solicitation documents.

4. General Procurement standards

A. Standards of Conduct

1. No officer, employee or agent of the County shall participate in the selection, award and administration of contracts if such participation would arise in a conflict of interest. Such a conflict of interest would arise when the employee, officer or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein:

2. Has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm or business considered for contract.

3. The officers, employees, and agents of the County may, neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts.

4. Employees, officers or agents of the County may, on occasion, accept an unsolicited gift of nominal value in which the financial interest is not substantial (as defined in NRS 281.5585).

5. Employees, officers or agents of the County that are found to be in violation of the above articles will be held accountable. Disciplinary actions may include termination of employment, removing the appointed officer from the office or dissolving the relationship between the County and the agent.

B. Procuring goods and services

1. The County will take all necessary measures to avoid the acquisition of unnecessary or duplicative items.

2. Consideration will be given to consolidating or breaking out procurements to obtain a more economical purchase.

3. Where appropriate, an analysis will be made of lease versus purchase alternatives; and any other appropriate analysis to determine the most economical approach.

48

3 | P a g e

4. The County will enter, when deemed applicable by the governing body, into state and local intergovernmental agreements or inter-entity agreements where appropriate for procurement or use of common or shared goods and services.

5. The County will give consideration to purchase Federal excess and surplus

property in lieu of purchasing new equipment and property whenever such use is feasible and reduces project costs.

6. The County, when applicable will use a value engineering clause in contracts for construction projects of sufficient size to offer reasonable opportunities for cost reductions.

7. The County will only award contracts to responsible contractors possessing the ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of a proposed procurement. Consideration will be given to such matters as contractor integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources.

8. In compliance with 2 CFR part 180, the County is prohibited from contracting

with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. Buyers must actively attempt to verify that a vendor is not debarred, suspended or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. This verification may be accomplished by (1) checking the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) maintained by the General Services Administration (GSA) and available at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/, (2) collecting a certification from the entity, or (3) adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that entity.

9. The County will maintain records sufficient to detail the history of procurement.

These records will include but are not limited to the following: rationale for the method of procurement, selection of contract type, contractor selection or rejection, and the basis for the contract price.

10. The County may use a time and materials type contract only after a

determination that no other contract is suitable and if the contract includes a ceiling price that the contractor exceeds at its own risk. Time and materials type contract means a contract whose cost to a non-Federal entity is the sum of: i. The actual cost of materials; and

ii. Direct labor hours charged at fixed hourly rates that reflect wages, general and administrative expenses, and profit.

49

4 | P a g e

11. The County will exercise its best administrative practice and sound business judgement when settling contractual and administrative issues arising out of procurements.

5. Competition

A. The County will conduct all procurement transactions in a manner providing full and open competition. Contractors that develop or draft specifications, requirements, statements of work, invitation for bids, requests for proposals will be excluded from competing for procurements for the County. Some of the situations considered to be restrictive of competition include but are not limited to:

1. Placing unreasonable requirements of firms in order for them to qualify to do business;

2. Requiring unnecessary experience and excessive bonding; 3. Noncompetitive pricing practices between firms or between affiliated

companies; 4. Noncompetitive contracts to consultants that are on retainer contracts; 5. Organizational conflicts of interest; 6. Specifying a “brand name” product instead of allowing “an equal”

product to be offered and describing the performance or other relevant requirements of the procurement; and

7. Any arbitrary action in the procurement process

B. The County will conduct procurements in a manner that prohibits the use of statutorily or administratively imposed state, local, or tribal geographical preferences in the evaluation of its proposals, except in those cases where applicable Federal statutes expressly mandate or encourage geographic preference. Nothing in this section preempts state and local licensing laws. When contracting for architectural and engineering (A/E) services, geographic location may be a selection criterion provided its application leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project, to compete for the contract.

C. The County will have written procedures for procurement transactions.

These procedures will ensure that all solicitations:

1. Incorporate a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for the material, product, or service to be procured. Such description will not, in competitive procurements, contain features which unduly restrict competition. The description may include a

50

5 | P a g e

statement of the qualitative nature of the material, product or service to be procured and, when necessary, will set forth those minimum essential characteristics and standards to which it must conform if it is to satisfy its intended use. Detailed product specifications shall be avoided if at all possible. When it is impractical or uneconomical to make a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements, a “brand name or equivalent” description may be used as a means to define the performance or other salient requirements of procurement. The specific features of the named brand which must be met by offers must be clearly stated; and

2. Identify all requirements which the offerors must fulfill and all other

factors to be used in evaluating bids or proposals.

D. The County ensures that all prequalified lists or persons, firm or products which are used in acquiring goods and services are current and include enough qualified sources to ensure maximum open and free competition. The County shall not preclude potential bidders/responders from qualifying during the solicitation period.

6. Methods of Procurement to be followed:

A. The County will use one of the following methods of procurement with consideration of provisions of Contracts under Federal Awards and in compliance with NRS section 332:

1. Procurement by micro-purchase

a. If said procurement is less than $10,000 ($2,000 in the case of acquisition for construction subject to the Wage Rate Requirements (Davis Bacon Act) No quotes are required if the price is reasonable;

b. The County will make an effort to ensure that purchases will be equitably distributed among qualified suppliers.

2. Procurement by small purchase procedures – Simplified Acquisition Threshold

For Federal Funds:

a. Purchases between $10,000 and $249,999

b. Prices and/or rates will be requested from at least two qualified sources, with the appropriate follow up and documentation of such. If only one response is received, documentation of attempt for more than one response must be maintained.

51

6 | P a g e

For All Non-Federal Purchases:

c. Purchases less than $50,000; can complete the purchase without a formal bid/response subject to the provisions below.

For All Purchases: Regardless of Funding Source:

d. Purchases greater than $50,000, but less than $100,000; must request quotes from two or more persons capable of performing the contract. Verbal quotes can be accepted and documented.

e. Purchases greater than $100,000 must advertise the contract in the manner prescribed in NRS 332.045; and may issue a solicitation for the contract.

3. Procurement by sealed bids – procurements exceeding $249,999 – Used mainly for construction type projects:

a. Procurement by sealed bid will be formally advertised and publicly solicited for by the County.

b. Bids/responses will be solicited from an adequate number of known suppliers, providing them sufficient response time prior to the date set for opening bids.

b. The invitation for bids/response to solicitation will include any specifications and pertinent attachments. The invitation for bid/response to solicitation will define the items or services in order for the bidder to properly respond;

d. All bids/responses will be opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids and will be opened publicly.

e. A firm fixed price contract award will be made in writing to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Where specified in bidding documents, factors such as discounts, transportation cost, and life cycle costs will be considered in determining which bid is lowest. Payment discounts will only be used to determine the low bid when prior experience indicates that such discounts are usually taken advantage of; and

f. The County reserves the right to reject any or all bids if there is a sound documented reason.

4. Procurement by competitive proposal – procurements exceeding $249,999 – Used mainly for fixed price or cost reimbursement:

a. Requests for proposals/solicitation will be publicized and will identify all evaluation factors and their relative importance. Any and all responses to said requests for proposals will be considered to the maximum extent practical.

52

7 | P a g e

b. Proposals will be solicited from at least two qualified sources;

c. The County will have in place, a written method for conducting technical evaluations of the proposals received and for selecting recipients;

d. Contracts will be awarded to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the program, with price and other factors considered; and

e. The County may use competitive proposal procedures for qualifications-based procurement of architectural/engineering (A/E) professional services whereby competitors’ qualifications are evaluated and the most qualified competitor is selected, subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation. The method, where price is not used as a selection factor, can only be used in procurement of A/E professional services. It cannot be used to purchase other types of services though A/E firms are a potential source to perform the proposed effort.

5. Procurement by noncompetitive proposals.

a. Procurement by noncompetitive proposals is procurement through solicitation of a proposal from only one source and may be used only when one or more the following circumstances apply;

1. The item is available only from a single source.

2. The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation;

3. The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity expressly authorizes noncompetitive proposals in response to a written request from the County; or

4. After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate.

For Federal purchases from $10,000 to $49,999:

A minimum of two (2) prices, written or verbal are required. Vendor selection must be made on the basis of the same precise and accurate description of the specifications and technical requirements for the item or service. Web price lists and catalogue listings, as well as telephone quotes can be considered. Buyers must complete a Purchasing Capital Assets form for those assets that have a useful life of over one year and a cost of $5,000 or more. A copy of the form must be attached to the selected vendor’s invoice and submitted to the Comptroller’s Office for payment.

For All Purchases Regardless of Funding Source between $50,000 and $99,999:

A minimum of two (2) written bids/responses are required. Vendor selection must be made on the basis of the same precise and accurate description of the specifications and technical requirements

53

8 | P a g e

for the item or service. Buyers must complete a Purchasing Capital Assets form for those assets that have a useful life of over one year and a cost of $5,000 or more. A copy of the form must be attached to the selected vendor’s invoice and submitted to the Comptroller’s Office for payment.

For All Purchases Regardless of Funding Source purchases greater than $100,000:

Must advertise the contract in the manner prescribed in NRS 332.045 and may issue a solicitation for the contract. Specifically, the advertisement must be published in a newspaper that has general circulation within county at least once and not less than seven (7) days before the opening of responses and everyday for not less than 7 days before the opening of responses on the county’s website or an internet site for the purpose of online solicitation. The method for obtaining the contract in the solicitation is an invitation to bid. Governing body must except as otherwise provided by the specific statute, award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Buyers must complete a Purchasing Capital Assets form. A copy of the completed form and all written bids must be attached to the selected vendor’s invoice and submitted to the Comptroller’s office for payment.

For All Federal Grant Purchases:

Exemptions from solicitation for competitive bid as allowed in NRS 332.115 are not permissible for federal grant awards.

7. Contracting with small and minority businesses, women’s business enterprise, and labor surplus area firms.

A. The County will take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority businesses, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus firms are used when possible. The County will take the following steps to facilitate this:

1. The County assures that small and minority businesses are solicited whenever they are potential sources.

2. The County will divide total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and women’s business enterprises;

4. The County will utilize the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Northern Nevada Development Authority, Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce; and

54

9 | P a g e

5. The County shall require the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the affirmative steps listed in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this section.

8. Procurement of recovered materials.

A. The County and its contractors will comply with section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The requirements of Section 6002 include procuring only items designated in guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 40 CFR part 247 that contain the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of competition, where the purchase price of the item exceeds $10,000 or the value of the quantity acquired during the preceding fiscal year exceeded $10,000; procuring solid waste management services in a manner that maximized energy and resource recovery; and establishing an affirmative procurement program for procurement of recovered materials identified in the EPA guidelines.

B. The decision not to procure such items shall be based on a determination that such procurement items;

1. Are not reasonably available within a reasonable period of time;

2. Fail to meet the performance standards set forth in the applicable specifications or fail to meet the reasonable performance standards of the procuring agencies; or

3. Are only available at an unreasonable price.

9. Contract cost and price:

A. Some form of cost or price analysis must be made, and documented in the procurement files, for purchases exceeding the micro purchasing level of $10,000 in connection with every procurement action.

B. The County will negotiate profit as a separate element of the price for each contract in which there is no price competition and, in all cases, where cost analysis is performed. To establish a fair and reasonable profit, consideration will be given to the complexity of the work to be performed, the risk borne by the contractor, the contractor’s investment, the amount of subcontracting, the quality of its record of past performance, and industry profit rates in the surrounding geographical area for similar work.

C. Price analysis is to be used in connection with every procurement action in excess of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold including contract modifications. The method and degree of analysis is dependent on the facts surrounding the particular procurement situation, but as a starting point, the County will make independent estimates before receiving bids or proposals.

55

10 | P a g e

D. Costs or prices based on estimated costs for contracts under the Federal award are allowable only to the extent that costs incurred or cost estimates included in negotiated prices would be allowable for the County allocable to that grant program, and an allowable cost for that grant program.

E. The cost plus a percentage of cost and percentage of construction cost methods of contracting will not be used.

10. Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity review

A. The County will make available, upon request of the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity, technical specifications on proposed procurements where the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity believes such review is needed to ensure that the item or service specified is the one being proposed for acquisition. The review generally will take place prior to the time the specification is incorporated into a solicitation document. However, if the County desires to have the review accomplished after a solicitation has been developed, the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity may still review the specifications, with such review usually limited to the technical aspects of the proposed purchase.

B. The County will make available upon request, for the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity pre-procurement review, procurement documentations, such as requests for proposals or invitations for bids, or independent cost estimates, when:

1. The County’s procurement procedures or operation fails to comply with the procurement standards in this part;

2. The procurement is expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and is to be awarded without competition or only one bid or offer is received in response to a solicitation;

3. The procurement, which is expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, specifies a “brand name” product;

4. The proposed contract is more than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and is to be awarded to other than the apparent low bidder und a sealed bid procurement; or

5. A proposed contract modification changes the scope of a contract or increases the contract amount by more than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

C. The County is exempt from the pre-procurement review in paragraph B of this section if the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity determines that its procurement systems comply with the standards of this part.

D. Should we, The County, find ourselves to be experiencing continuous high-dollar funding, where third party contracts are awarded on a regular basis, we may choose

56

11 | P a g e

to request that the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity review our procurement system to determine whether said procurement system meets these standards in order for our system to be certified.

E. We, the County, may choose to self-certify our procurement system. Should we decide to self-certify we understand that such self-certification must not limit the Federal awarding agency’s right to survey our procurement system. Should we choose to self-certify our procurement system we state that the Federal awarding agency may rely on our written assurances that we are complying with these standards. Should we decide to self-certify our procurement system we will cite specific policies, procedures, regulations and standards as being in compliance with these standards and will have our procurement system available for review.

11. Bonding policy for Federal Contracts

A. The County will require a bid guarantee from each bidder equivalent to five percent of the bid price. The “bid guarantee” will consist of a firm commitment such as a bid bond, certified check or other negotiable instrument accompany a bid as assurances that the bidder will, upon acceptance of the bid, execute such contractual documents as may be required within the time specified.

B. A performance bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the contract price. A “performance bond” is one executed in connection with a contract to secure fulfillment of all the contractor’s obligations under such contract.

C. A payment bond on the part of the contract for 100 percent of the contract price. A “payment bond” is one executed in connection with a contract to assure payment as required by law of all persons supplying labor and material in the execution of the work provided for in the contract.

12. Bonding policy for All Non-Federal Contracts

A. A bid bond, performance bond, payment bond or any combination thereof, with sufficient surety, in such amount as may be determined necessary by the County or its authorized representative, may be required of each bidder or contractor on a particular contract.

B. Any such bonds may be to insure proper performance of the contract and save, indemnify and keep harmless the local government against all loss, damages claims, liabilities, judgements, costs and expenses which may accrue against the local government in consequence of the awarding of the contract. (NRS 332.105)

13. Contract Provisions

A. Contracts will contain the applicable provisions in Appendix II to Part 200 – Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards.

57

12 | P a g e

14. Debarment and Suspension

A. The County must actively attempt to verify that a vendor is not debarred, suspended or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. This verification may be accomplished by (1) checking the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) maintained by the General Services Administration (GSA) and available at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/, (2) collecting a certification from the entity, or (3) adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that entity.

15. Protests, Disputes and Appeals

A. An interested party may file a protest to a Bid or Award in writing. Protests to the County shall comply with NRS 332.068 and include the following:

Name Detailed statement of legal and factual grounds for the protest, including a

description of resulting prejudice to the protester. Copies of relevant documents Request for a ruling by the County Statement about the form of relief requested All information establishing the protestor as an interested party All information establishing the timeliness of the protest

Failure to substantially comply with these requirements may be grounds for dismissal of the protest.

B. Action after receipt of protest. If a protest is received before the award of a contract, the contract may not be awarded until the protest is resolved. Unless urgent and compelling reasons exist for contract award, the justification should be submitted in writing and determined to be in the best interest of the County. Such justification or determination shall be approved at the level of the county manager with assistance of the assigned legal counsel.

After receipt of a protest, the county manager shall immediately suspend performance pending resolution of the protest by the agency. This resolution includes any review by an independent high-level official unless continued performance is justified. The County shall make its best efforts to resolve agency protests within 35 days after the protest is filed.

Protest decisions shall be well reasoned and shall explain the County position. The protests decision shall be provided to the protestor by using a method that furnishes evidence of receipt.

58

13 | P a g e

C. Contract Disputes and Appeals. In the event that a dispute between the County and a contractor may arise, the county manager should strive to resolve any contract issues by mutual agreement with the contractor. When a claim arises, the authorized representative of the County should contact the county manager and assigned legal counsel for assistance. If a mutual agreement cannot be reached, a written claim by the contracting party shall be submitted to the County for a decision per the requirements in the contract within 30 days to the county manager. All claims shall include the following;

Name Detailed statement of appropriate portions of the contract for the dispute Copies of relevant documents Cost or other quantification

The contractor may be required to post bond in the manner prescribed in NRS 322.068.

The County and contactor will attempt to resolve the dispute through legal counsel advice up to and including mediation or arbitration to resolve the matter quickly.

If the person who requested the correction does not agree with the county's decision (including the corrective action, if any), the person may file for reconsideration within the county. The county shall establish an administrative appeal process to review the county's initial decision, and specify appropriate time limits in which to resolve such requests for reconsideration.

Exceptions

B. The Board of Commissioners must approve any exceptions to this policy in writing.

Approved this 20th day July, 2020. Ken Tipton, Commission Chairman Tami Rae Spero, County Clerk

Appendix II to Part 200 - Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards

In addition to other provisions required by the Federal agency or non-Federal entity, all contracts made by the non-Federal entity under the Federal award must contain provisions covering the following, as applicable.

(A) Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $150,000, which is the inflation adjusted amount determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

(B) All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the non-Federal entity including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement.

(C) Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part 60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity” ( 30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p. 339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity,” and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.”

(D) Davis-Bacon Act, as amended ( 40 U.S.C. 3141- 3148). When required by Federal program legislation, all prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act ( 40 U.S.C. 3141- 3144) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations ( 29 CFR Part 5, “Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction”). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. The non-Federal entity must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. The contracts must also include a provision for compliance with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act ( 40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations ( 29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency.

(E) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act ( 40 U.S.C. 3701- 3708). Where applicable, all contracts awarded by the non-Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations ( 29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.

(F) Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. If the Federal award meets the definition of “funding agreement” under 37 CFR § 401.2 (a) and the recipient or subrecipient wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding

60

agreement,” the recipient or subrecipient must comply with the requirements of 37 CFR Part 401, “Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements,” and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding agency.

Violations must be reported to the Federal awarding agency and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

July 9, 2020 Honorable Humboldt County Commissioners 50 West Fifth Street Winnemucca, NV 89445 Dear Commissioners: I mentioned some time back that I would be retiring this fall. The time has come for me to let you know my last official day in the office will be Friday, September 18, 2020 with my retirement date according to PERS set for September 19, 2020. Working for Humboldt County has been both rewarding and challenging. I have to confess I care deeply about this County and the Assessor’s Office. Since taking office I have always tried to train someone as the potential next assessor because someone coming into an office such as this without some knowledge and experience could be very dangerous and detrimental to a County; a fact I have actually witnessed in other counties. Therefore, I am asking and even strongly suggesting Andy Heiser be appointed to finish my term. He is smart, qualified and more than capable to take over and do a fantastic job for Humboldt County. I will do everything I can to make myself available to him to help with anything he may need. I feel so strongly about the importance of the job and its demands, I could not personally support or help anyone else. The simple fact is there would be no way to begin helping someone who knew little to nothing about the job. In Nevada, small County Assessors are working appraisers, not just “managers.” Someone who does not understand appraising responsibilities, will find it very difficult to manage appraisers and answer questions about appraisals. The Nevada property tax system continues to become more complex with tax caps, abatements and the potential change to the way property taxes are calculated in the next legislative session. I would like to thank you and the voters for the opportunity to serve in this capacity. I hope Andy will have a chance to do the same. I know he will excel in this position, given the chance. Respectively submitted, Jeff Johnson Humboldt County Assessor

Humboldt County Commissioners 50 W. 5th Street Winnemucca, NV 89445

July 20th, 2020

Mr. Chairman Tipton:

I am submitting this letter and my resume to supplement Mr. Johnson's letter to the Commissioners. I am fully aware of the complexity of the County Assessor's position and I am excited at the prospect that I may have the chance of continuing the work that Mr. Johnson has accomplished during his past 28 years in this office.

Knowledge gained in the positions that I have filled at the Assessor’s Office is only a portion of the

knowledge and experience required for this position, but I am ready for this task and feel that my

qualifications at this point have prepared me well to succeed as County Assessor. I am very dedicated to this office and to Humboldt County and will strive to do my very best for the people of this county. With the connections that I have made with other Assessors's offices in the state, plus Mr. Johnson’s willingness to assist me with the transition, I have many valuable resources to rely on to make a smooth transition and keep the Assessor’s Office operating as efficiently as it has under Mr. Johnson.

From my first day in the Assessor’s Office, I have prepared myself for this promotion. Mr. Johnson has included me in every decision he made and has explained why he made such decisions. My values and ethics mirror those of the people of Humboldt County. I would enjoy the opportunity to serve the people and the great community of Humboldt County.

Sincerely,

Andy Heiser

CONTRACT TERMINATION AND MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT This Contract Termination and Mutual Release Agreement (this “Termination Agreement”), is entered into by and between Devnet, Incorporated (“Devnet”), on the one hand, and Humboldt County, Nevada (“Humboldt County” or the “County”), on the other hand (together, the “Parties).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Subject to the remaining terms of this Termination Agreement, the parties hereby terminate the Agreement, and proceed with a transition process as follows:

A. Fees. Devnet agrees that Humboldt County shall owe no further fees to Devnet, and Devnet expressly waives and releases all claims for payment which Devnet might have demanded or sought pursuant to Article 5 of the Agreement. Humboldt County shall not claim reimbursement for any fees paid to Devnet previously.

B. Devnet Support: Devnet agrees to continue to provide Humboldt County with reasonable support relating to the ADS System through August 31, 2021 (said period being the “Support Period”). It is understood and agreed that if Devnet’s tech-support personnel relating to the ADS System should resign employment with Devnet or otherwise become incapacitated or unavailable during the Support Period, Devnet shall not have further obligation as of that time to provide the ADS System support. With respect to the Devnet services during the Support Period, the Parties understand and agree that:

Master Agreement

TECA Data Safe, Inc. Contract For Recovery Computer Services

This Contract for Recovery Computer Services (“Contract”) is made effective as of Thursday, June 25, 2020, by and between TECA Data Safe Corporation, 11670 Fountains Drive, Suite 200, Minneapolis, MN 55369 (“TECA”) and Humboldt County 50 W. 5th Street, Winnemucca, NV 89445 (“Subscriber”).

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. Beginning on the date first written above and continuing until terminated pursuant to this Contract, TECA will provide to Subscriber the following recovery computer services:

a) Recovery System. TECA shall provide vendor-specified and appropriate operating system equipment and environments at its facilities, with networking capabilities (the “Recovery System”), equal to or better than (including equipment quality and processing capacity) the Recovery System Configuration described in the Schedule(s) in all material respects, to be provided to Subscriber at the Recovery System location identified in the Schedule(s).

b) Recovery Support. Whenever Subscriber uses recovery services during a disaster that extend beyond the scope outlined in the Schedule(s), TECA’s support staff shall provide reasonable support to Subscriber on an as-needed basis. Subscriber will be notified in advance of billable actions. (Time and materials fees may apply)

c) Scheduled Services. Those services described in the attached Schedule “A” and any other Schedule, the terms of which are each incorporated into this Contract. (Collectively, the above-described services are referred to as the “Services”)

2. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES. In exchange for the Services and unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, Subscriber will pay compensation to TECA pursuant to the Recovery System Term of Services and Fees described in the Schedule(s). In the event that Subscriber authorizes Services beyond the scope of the Schedule(s), TECA shall be compensated at its prevailing rate.

Subscriber shall be invoiced by TECA and agrees to pay TECA within 30 days of invoice date.

Late payments shall accrue interest at the rate of six percent per annum. In the event that TECA is required to retain a collection service or attorney to collect any monies owed under this Contract, Subscriber agrees that any costs and fees incurred by TECA for such services shall be payable by Subscriber.

3. TERM OF SERVICES. This Contract shall commence on the date first written above, and continue pursuant to the Recovery System Term of Services and Fees described in the Schedule(s). This Contract may be terminated by Subscriber upon 60 days prior written notice to TECA, provided that, (i) such written notice is accompanied by a payment equal to thirty five percent of the monthly fees remaining between the effective date of cancellation and the date the Services term would have otherwise expired; and (ii)

71


termination of this Contract shall not excuse Subscriber’s obligation to make payment for any Services already provided by TECA.

4. OTHER SERVICES. Subscriber may obtain any other recovery services offered by TECA, at TECA’s then prevailing fees, by executing an appropriate schedule or addendum describing such services. Subscriber may engage TECA’s disaster recovery consultants, at TECA’s then prevailing rates, to prepare and maintain a disaster recovery plan for Subscriber, audit Subscriber’s disaster recovery capability, and provide other disaster recovery planning and consulting services.

5. WARRANTY. Except as limited by paragraph 6, TECA shall provide the Services and meet its obligations under this Contract in a timely and workmanlike manner, using knowledge and compliance protocols that meet generally accepted standards and provide a standard of care equal to, or superior to, care used by service providers similar to TECA on similar recovery system projects.

6. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Subscriber agrees that TECA is not liable for any amount exceeding the fees for Services actually paid by Subscriber hereunder. In no event shall TECA or its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, insurers, suppliers, or vendors be liable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, to Subscriber or any third party for any damages exceeding the amount of such paid fees, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive (including, without limitation, damages for loss of savings or business profits, business interruption, loss of good will, work stoppage, loss of data, any other pecuniary loss, monetary or other damages, fees, fines, penalties, or liabilities) arising out of or in any way connected with the failure of any disaster recovery system or strategy or the delay or inability to use any software, hardware or equipment, or the provision of or failure to provide specific services or advice. This limitation on liability extends to damages incurred by Subscriber, its customers or any third party.

Some states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to Subscriber. In such event, TECA shall be liable to Subscriber only for gross negligence or willful misconduct and then only to the extent of actual damages incurred by Subscriber.

TECA shall not be liable for any damages caused by factors beyond TECA’s control, including but not limited to force majeure, acts of God, war, seizure under legal process, strikes, lockouts, riots and civil commotions, or because of any other excuse provided by law.

7. OBLIGATIONS OF TECA. TECA shall adhere to vendor-recommended procedures and polices for proper maintenance of Recovery Systems, including necessary remedial maintenance and regularly scheduled preventative maintenance. TECA warrants to Subscriber that the Recovery Systems shall be maintained in a state of readiness at all times, consistent with TECA’s obligations under this Agreement.

8. OBLIGATIONS OF SUBSCRIBER. Subscriber shall make timely payments to TECA of all monthly fees for Services, and all additional fees for additional services requested by Subscriber and provided by TECA. Subscriber shall cooperate with TECA to help it identify the Recovery System Configuration components necessary to provide Services to Subscriber. Subscriber is obligated to notify TECA of any material change in its system equipment and capabilities that would necessitate a modification of the Recovery System Configurations.

72


9. MULTIPLE DISASTER. A “Multiple Disaster” shall be defined as any demand for recovery services and use of Recovery Systems made by Subscriber before, during, or after the period when another subscriber makes such a demand and such other subscriber is, in fact, using or needs to use Recovery Systems. If a Multiple Disaster occurs that impacts Subscriber and other TECA subscribers, then TECA shall take prompt and reasonable efforts to apply the resources in a manner designed to meet the recovery needs of all its subscribers. Subscriber shall cooperate with TECA and the other affected subscribers in coordinating the use of Recovery Systems.

10. MULTIPLE DISASTER PROTECTION. To lower the probability of conflict in the event of a Multiple Disaster, TECA shall comply with the following terms:

a) No other subscriber shall be granted any greater rights of access to or use of Recovery Systems than are granted to Subscriber under this Agreement.

b) No agreement to provide use of Recovery Systems shall be entered into at a time when the subscriber location to be serviced is then currently experiencing a disaster.

11. CRISIS MANAGEMENT. Whenever TECA learns of an approaching storm or other situation that might cause a Multiple Disaster, TECA shall monitor the situation and use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate contingency plans with all potentially affected subscribers.

12. CONVERSION BY SUBSCRIBER. If Subscriber plans to convert its processing environment to a new processing environment, then at least three months before the conversion is complete, Subscriber will notify TECA in writing of the new technology in reasonable detail and the expected date of conversion. TECA will then notify Subscriber in writing if TECA provides, or will provide by the conversion date, appropriate recovery systems for the new technology, and the affected Schedule will continue in effect and the configuration will be changed, in a mutually acceptable manner, to include the new technology at TECA’s then prevailing fees therefor. Otherwise, Subscriber may cancel the affected Schedule by giving TECA written notice of cancellation accompanied by a payment equal to thirty five percent of the monthly fees remaining between the effective date of cancellation and the date the Schedule would have otherwise expired.

13. CONFIDENTIALITY. All information disclosed by one party to the other in connection with this Agreement shall be treated as confidential information unless it is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the other party, is already known to the other party, or is later rightfully obtained by the other party from independent sources. Each party’s confidential information shall be held in strict confidence by the other party, using the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information, and shall not be used or disclosed by the other party for any purpose except as necessary to implement or perform this Contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such confidential information includes:

a) Subscriber’s data and software, and the details of Subscriber’s computer operations and recovery procedures, which include trade secrets of Subscriber;

b) TECA’s physical security systems, access control systems, specialized recovery equipment and techniques; and

c) the terms of this Contract and Schedule(s).

This Section may be enforced by injunction.

73


14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Contract, Schedule “A,” and any other Schedule(s) contain the entire agreement of the parties as of the date herein, and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written concerning the subject matter of this Contract. This Contract supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between the parties.

15. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Contract will be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of this Contract is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision will be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

16. AMENDMENT. This Contract may be modified or amended in writing, if the writing is signed by the party obligated under the amendment.

17. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. This Contract shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. Any litigation between the parties shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Minnesota. Subscriber irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in the State of Minnesota.

18. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning given to them in the Schedule(s).

19. RIGHT TO AUDIT. Subscriber and its authorized representatives shall have the right to audit TECA’s policies and procedures as is related to the services TECA provides under this agreement. TECA will cooperate with subscriber’s requests and will make reasonable efforts to provide all policy and procedure information related to the services rendered under this agreement. Costs of any audits conducted under the authority of this right to audit will be borne by Subscriber.

July 20th, 2020 Humboldt County Commission 50 West 5th Street Winnemucca, NV 89445 Dear Honorable Commissioners: The Assessor’s office is interested into entering into a contract with TECA Data Safe, Inc Contract for Recovery Computer Services for cloud backup services and multiple disaster protection. We will cover the costs of the entire 400 database cloud backup service including files for our office, clerk’s office, treasurer’s office, planning department and Winnemucca Police Department, as they are all still on this system or using data from the 400. The Assessor’s office just recently had our backup tape drive crash and because we were already in another contract for hardware replacement, the cost to repair the backup drive cost us zero dollars our of our budget and we are needing to make sure we secure our data for another two years until we can get into our new CAMA system. This cloud backup would eliminate just one more manual function that our office has to do and possibly stop functioning all together. The term period for this contract would be 7/1/2020 (or once it is approved) through 6/30/2022. The cost would include a one time set up fee of $2,300 with a monthly rate of $860 for the backup service. The not to exceed amount on this contract for two years is $25,000. We would use the assessor’s technology fund to cover the cost of this contract and have enough budgeted for the 2020/21 fiscal year budget to cover this cost. Thank you,

121

Nevada United: Roadmap to Recovery is designed to build a path forward and safely restart Nevada’s economy with the core guiding principal that

the state’s efforts will be “federally supported, state managed, and locally executed.”

The Roadmap establishes the Local Empowerment Advisory Panel (LEAP) to serve as a resource for local governments as they work through the necessary requirements to reopen and share best practices and guidelines for their communities. Most importantly, the recommendations of the LEAP help inform the Directives issued by the Governor as Nevada moves through each phase.

The Statewide Standards and Business Guidelines set forth in this document are reflected in the Governor’s Directive for Phase 2 and were developed with the LEAP to advise individuals, employers, and businesses through Phase 2. In addition, industry-specific guidance and recommendations developed by the LEAP are available at nvhealthresponse.nv.gov.

During the state of emergency, certain events may be conducted without live spectators or guests for the purpose of broadcast or streaming. For purposes of these policies and procedures, the term “Event” means any live event that is traditionally held before an in-person audience. The term includes, without limitation, sporting events, concerts, entertainment shows, and non-sporting competitions.

These policies and procedures constitute the minimum requirements that should be followed by Event Operators. For purposes of these policies and procedures, the term “Event Operators” shall include, without limitation, the producer and sponsor of the event, any governing or sanctioning body with jurisdiction over the event or its participants, the owner and operator of the venue in which the event will be held, any third-party contractor involved in the presentation of the event, any other party involved in the presentation of the event, and any agent or employee of those entities or persons. These policies and procedures shall be adhered to under the combined effort of the Event Operators.

To hold an Event while these policies and procedures are in effect, an Event Operator shall submit an Operation Plan to the appropriate state or local authority with jurisdiction over the Event. The Operation Plan shall provide, in detail, the plans the Event Operators will follow to comply with the requirements of these policies and procedures. Such Operation Plan shall be submitted to the appropriate state or local authority at least [X] days prior to the planned date of the Event to allow for adequate review of the Operation Plan. An Event shall not take place unless the Operation Plan is approved by the appropriate state or local authority.

These policies and procedures are intended to serve as the general policy of the State of Nevada. An entity with jurisdiction over a particular Event or type of Event may implement and enforce equal or more stringent requirements.

These procedures and policies shall be effective until further notice.


Closed Events

151

Section I: Closed System Operations

A. Closed System

In addition to adherence to all Federal, state, and local regulations and guidelines concerning COVID-19 mitigation, including those promulgated under the Governor’s March 12, 2020 Declaration of Emergency, Events may only proceed while utilizing a closed system of operations. The core principle of a closed system is to minimize the chance of transmission of COVID-19.

The term “closed system” should be construed to encompass the entire network of operations through which the Event is produced. It is not limited to the main event(s) being operated or performed for broadcast or streaming, but includes, without limitation, personnel management, all facilities utilized (e.g., event venue, lodging, staging areas, training/practice facilities, rest areas, etc.), and transportation.

Key components of a closed system include, but are not limited to, prohibiting the general public from having access, limiting access to specified personnel, controlled points of ingress/egress, policies and procedures for introducing personnel into the closed system, provision of medical testing, control and monitoring of the utilized facilities to ensure adherence to social distancing standards, organization and layout of event space to ensure social distancing standards, sanitation procedures, and policies and procedures to ensure limited compromise of the closed network in the event of a positive COVID-19 test.

Operation Plans should be written with the core goal of explaining the policies and procedures Event Operators are implementing to ensure a closed system for the duration of the event.

B. Facilities

Event Operators must ensure that the closed system is structured to account for all facilities being used in the production of the event. Operation Plans must provide details on all facilities being utilized, and relevant policies and procedures for maintaining integrity of the closed system across facilities. This includes, but is not limited to:

● Event Venue

Information on the venue where the main event intended for broadcasting/streaming is being hosted, and ancillary facilities (staging rooms, locker rooms, green rooms, production/media rooms, and other “back-of-house” facilities being used to facilitate production of the event).

● Lodging

Information on lodging/housing accommodations being utilized, including e.g. details on the number and distribution of personnel among housing.

● Training/Practice Facilities

Information on any facilities being utilized for training or practice. Event Operators should note whether equipment used at a training/practice facility (sporting equipment, musical instruments, etc.) will also be used in the main event and note how equipment will be moved about the closed system to ensure integrity of the system.

Operating Plans must include a floor plan or diagram of the event venue (and back-of-house facilities being used). Floor plans should include sufficient labeling and notation. This includes, without limitation, marking the placement of personnel to indicate adherence to social distancing, labeling of areas by function, marking points of ingress/egress to the closed system, and noting movement flow of personnel.

Floor plans of lodging and training/practices facilities are not required as part of the Operating Plan.

152

C. Personnel

An essential component of maintaining the integrity of a closed system is controlled access, movement, and function of ALL personnel involved in event operations. “Personnel” includes, without limitation, production staff, security personnel, cleaning staff, medical staff, event participants (athletes, performers), participants’ support staff, officiants, regulatory agents or other state or local government officials, and any other individuals introduced into the closed system.

Operation Plans must include details on personnel including, but not limited to, number of personnel, title/function of personnel to the production, responsibility for personnel (i.e., details on principal/agent relationship an individual is operating under--is the individual an agent of the venue operator, a professional sports sanctioning organization, event production company, etc.), details on any internal system being used to group/designate personnel and the privileges afforded to those groups (Example: what access to specific parts of the venue are granted to personnel falling within a certain group, expected interaction between personnel, etc.). Personnel should likewise be visually identifiable through a credential marker such as a badge or uniform.

Prior to entering the closed system, all personnel should be provided information on the importance of safe measures to mitigate the spread of virus infection utilizing recommendations from the CDC. Operation Plans should include a copy of the education being provided and details on how such information is being disseminated to personnel.

In recognition of Governor Sisolak’s March 31, 2020 travel advisory for the State of Nevada, all personnel traveling into Nevada should limit, to the greatest extent possible, interaction with the Nevada public. Personnel should treat the closed system as a large-scale quarantine, and should make arrangements for the procurement of required goods and services from outside of the closed system that limits interaction with the Nevada public (example: delivery of goods rather than traveling to a retail location for pickup, or alternatively having designated personnel local to Nevada to handle pickup).

Maintaining social distancing is a key component to the closed system. However, the nature of some events, particularly contact sports, may involve prolonged interaction between personnel within 6 feet of one another. Operation Plans should note where such anticipated close-quarters interactions are anticipated to occur in the normal course of the event.

Facial coverings are required for all personnel.

D. Sanitation of Closed System

Event Operators must ensure a sufficient number of dedicated sanitation staff within the closed system trained in COVID-19 cleaning and disinfection protocols as recommended by the CDC https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/disinfecting-building-facility.html.

Operating Plans must provide an overview of sanitation procedures that will be implemented prior to, and through the course of, the event. Details should include procedures for sanitation of locations/facilities, equipment, and means of transportation. Plans must also detail sanitation procedures for parts of the closed system that present a higher risk of exposure to infection, specifically facilities and equipment where medical testing is performed and any facilities where personnel are quarantined while awaiting the results of testing. Sanitation procedures should also provide specific procedures for disposal of medical waste.

Section II: Health & Safety

A. Closed System Screenings

A key step in preventing compromise of the closed system is a controlled process for introduction of personnel into the system. Event Organizers should have detailed policies and procedures in place for admitting personnel, including, but not limited to, temperature screenings (maximum 100.4°F), a questionnaire assessing recent activity by the individual, COVID-19 testing, and intermediary quarantine between testing and results.

Information to be ascertained prior to entry into the closed system includes, but is not limited to:

● What, if any, travel has the individual made in the past 2-weeks, particularly to or from an area that is considered high risk or includes a government mandated quarantine.

153

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/disinfecting-building-facility.html

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/disinfecting-building-facility.html

● Whether the individual has come into contact with a person confirmed, or suspected to be, infected with COVID-19, and if so, when.

● Whether the individual, in the past two weeks, has experienced any symptoms associated with COVID-19, including: ○ Coughing ○ Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing ○ Fever ○ Chills ○ Muscle pain ○ Sore throat ○ New loss of taste of smell ○ Nausea ○ Vomiting ○ Diarrhea

Operating Plans should detail what personnel will be responsible for administering the questionnaire, including who will be assessing the answers and making a determination as to whether the questioned individual may enter the closed system. Questionnaires must be reviewed by a professional medical consultant.

B. COVID-19 Testing

All personnel must be subjected to both viral and antibody testing. Event Operators must provide for testing in a facility/setting that offers sufficient continuity into the closed system so as to minimize risk of personnel exposure between testing and entrance into the closed system. Event Operators should consult with appropriate health officials regarding test frequency--due to limitations on detecting COVID-19 very early in an infected individual through viral testing, Event Operators may need to conduct multiple rounds of viral testing dependent on the duration of the event. Event Operators should also be educated in the basics of COVID-19 testing as explained on the CDC’s Testing information webpage, as well as the CDC’s guidance on INTERPRETING COVID-19 TEST RESULTS. Testing should be overseen by a trained medical professional.

Viral testing--testing that is used to determine if an individual currently has a COVID-19 infection through samples from an individual’s respiratory system--must be administered by nasal swab or saliva collection. Event Operators must coordinate for delivery and testing of samples to a laboratory conducting FDA testing or other viral testing resources provided by state health officials. Collecting and handling of viral tests should be done in accordance with CDC interim guidelines.

Antibody testing--testing that is used to determine if an individual has been previously infected with COVID-19 through blood analysis--must likewise be administered by a trained medical professional.

Operation Plans must detail policies and procedures for the administration of tests, including, without limitation, identifying medical personnel that will be responsible for administration of testing, agreements with state and local health officials regarding testing, and quarantining procedures for personnel while awaiting test results.

C. Positive Test Results

Any personnel testing positive for COVID-19 will be required to seek immediate primary care, and enter isolation in accordance with local, state, and CDC guidance. Event Operators must have policies and procedures in place, consistent with CDC guidance on Quarantine and Isolation, to provide resources for personnel traveling from out-of-state in the event they must enter isolation.

Any personnel that have had close contact with personnel testing positive for COVID-19 will be required to enter into quarantine for 14 days in accordance with local, state, and CDC recommendations on Quarantine measures. Event Operators must have policies and procedures in place, to provide resources for personnel traveling from out-of-state in the event they must enter quarantine. Such policies and procedures must be specified in the Operation Plan for the Event.

Operation Plans should detail the policies and procedures in place for personnel that must enter isolation or quarantine. These policies and procedures must include, at minimum, provision of housing for isolated/quarantined individuals, and a plan for administering healthcare treatment to infected individuals in consultation with healthcare experts.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine-isolation.html

D. Contact Tracing

Information must be held on file for all personnel sufficient to conduct contact tracing in the event of a positive test. Operation Plans must detail procedures for contact tracing, including, but not limited to, which personnel will be responsible for coordinating contact tracing operations with the state and local health authorities. Contact tracing must be conducted in accordance with CDC principles as outlined at Contact Tracing : Part of a Multipronged Approach to Fight the COVID-19 Pandemic.

E. Social Distancing

A core principle of operating an event in a closed system is facilitating an environment promoting social distancing by personnel. As identified by the CDC, the key tenets of social distancing are maintaining a minimum distance of 6 feet between individuals, avoid gathering in groups, and avoid crowded places/mass gatherings.

Event Operators must consider all applicable Federal, state, and local social distancing guidelines, including those addressing limits on the size of public gatherings, across all aspects of the event, including, without limit, the stationing/placement of personnel (example: spacing of recording equipment, spacing of musicians in a concert, etc.), the movement and flow of personnel in performance of their duties, the grouping of personnel in staging and waiting areas, the transportation of personnel, the lodging or housing arrangements for personnel, and any extended one-on-one interactions between personnel (example: post-game interview of an athlete).

Operation Plans must detail policies and procedures that are designed, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, to adhere to social distancing.

F. Personal Protective Equipment

All personnel must utilize personal protective equipment (“PPE”) at all times during the Event. Operation Plans must detail who will be responsible for the procurement and distribution of PPE, what PPE will be utilized by personnel (at minimum, Cloth Face Coverings), and what education/instruction will be provided on the proper use of PPE. Cleaning staff must also wear gloves. State and local health authorities should also be consulted with regards to appropriate PPE for medical personnel, such as those conducting COVID-19 testing.

Due to the nature of some events, there may be periods where it is impractical for those participating to wear PPE. Operation Plans should note where such instances will be anticipated to occur in the normal course of the event.

This is intended for administrators and leaders of CFBOs – congregations and places of worship (churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc.) and community organizations. This guidance is intended to help CFBOs prevent the transmission of COVID-19 within their facilities and communities. CFBOs need to be able to react quickly if there is a confirmed COVID-19 case among staff, volunteers, the people they serve, or visitors. CFBOs, working together with schools, businesses, healthcare systems and state and local health departments, have an important role in slowing the spread of diseases, especially among high risk populations.

Sanitation, Housekeeping, & Cleaning Operations

Attractions

● Disinfect high-touch areas frequently. Those include: door handles, trash receptacle touchpoints, control equipment, phones, computers, office equipment, counters, elevator buttons, handrails, tables, seats, benches, high chairs, toilets, sink faucets and toilet handles, soap dispenser push plates, baby changing stations, ice scoops, refrigerator handles, towel dispenser handles, cleaning tools, counter tops, door knobs, light switches, sinks, queue rails, harnesses, restraints, ATM machines, dining surfaces, etc. ● Consider removing high-touch surfaces (e.g. doors) if they aren’t completely necessary. ● Use disinfectants outlined on EPA List N. Consult product specifications to determine how often cleaning should take place. ● If restrooms are open:

● Consider dedicating employees to cleaning/disinfecting restrooms frequently. They should also monitor/control restroom capacity to uphold physical distancing guidelines in those facilities. ● Consider closing or otherwise disabling every other (or every two) toilets to ensure guests maintain physical distancing protocols in restrooms. ● Post a log in visible site of times restrooms are cleaned.

● Disinfect ride surfaces frequently touched by guests or employees, including handrails, arm rests, restraints, lap bars, grips, seatbelts, over-the-shoulder harnesses, etc.

● The frequency and approach to sanitizing should be based on the guidelines provided on the cleaning chemicals, which should be determine based on the surface being cleaned. ● When physically verifying that safety gates are locked and secured, operators can use their feet or knees to check movement. If hands must be used to ensure a gate is locked, operators should wash/sanitize hands before moving on to another task. ● Consider reducing the number of guests per ride vehicle to facilitate physical distancing between riders. ● Board family members/others living in the same household in the same vehicle when possible. ● Carefully evaluate attractions that require time-consuming personal harnessing like ropes courses, climbing walls, and steel-cable swing rides because of the difficulty managing personal distancing during the harnessing process. The increased cleaning and sanitizing of the harnesses and other equipment between each use may also be difficult and time consuming. ● For miniature golf courses, consider ways to reduce surfaces guests touch frequently. Several approaches to reduce guest contact with the holes on the course include placing a piece of round coated foam (like a swimming pool noodle) in a mini-golf hole to reduce the depth of the hole or removing routes where balls drop into hole-in-one cups and have them roll onto the carpet instead. For courses that print custom scorecards, allow guests to get their own ticket out of the printer. Disinfect balls, putters, and pencils after each use.

● Establishments shall continue to follow the regulations provided in NAC 640C.200-360 with emphasis on NAC 640C.200(2)(b). Additional emergency regulations approved by the Board on May 8, 2020, require the establishment and licensees to ensure that normal sanitation practices completed on a daily basis are now completed between each client. ● Based on the CDC and OSHA recommendations all establishments should be cleaned and then disinfected with a product on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) List-N, shown to meet the EPA’s requirements as being effective against SARS-CoV-2. If possible, the product selected should also be bactericidal and fungicidal. The importance of ensuring the contact time with the product is critical to its effectivity. Since contact times vary, establishments should ensure that EPA recommendations are observed. ● Steam rooms, saunas, and spas shall remain closed and unavailable for guest use. ● Social distancing in waiting areas and locker rooms should be maintained at the distance recommended by the CDC, OSHA, Governor’s Directives, and/or local jurisdictions. As each guest enters the facility, they should be informed of the social distancing practice being observed by the establishment. Adequate time should be provided between scheduled appointments including staggering appointments to reduce the number of clients in waiting rooms in order to comply with social distancing recommendations. For establishments with single treatment rooms, it is recommended that the client remain in their car until the licensee informs the client that they are ready for their appointment. ● Remove unnecessary items from waiting areas, locker rooms, restrooms and treatment rooms.

Porous surfaces should be covered with a nonporous protective layer which should then be disposed of or sanitized between each client. ● Phones, computers, cash registers, credit card equipment and other items used by employees or licensees to conduct business, should be sanitized between each client. Reception desk staff should minimize their exposure to items touched by the client or guest. If possible, allow clients to swipe or insert their own credit card. If cash transactions are unavoidable, follow the handwashing protocol and sanitize any surface that came into contact during the exchange.

Workplace Accommodations for Licensees and Other Employees Sanitation Guidelines for Establishments

● Massage therapists, masseuses, and other employees must wear face coverings at all times. ● Establishments should ensure that licensees and employees understand that face masks may not protect the licensee or employee from inhaling airborne pathogens. However, the masks do reduce the risk of the licensee or employee adding to the viral load in the establishment. ● Social distancing recommendations provided by the CDC, OSHA, Governor’s Directives and/or local jurisdictions should be maintained. High traffic establishments may want to install plexiglass shields in client intake areas such as reception desks. ● Online client intake and release forms are recommended. When this is not possible pens and clipboards should be sanitized between each use. ● If a client responds to any of the screening questions listed below, the licensee has the right to refuse service. ● The CDC and OSHA recommend that any employee with a temperature above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit not report to work.

Items in the bag not purchased should be sanitized before being returned to the stock. Remove all testers from the retail area, locker rooms, and waiting areas. Personal items normally provided by the establishment should be provided by an employ upon request. ● Posting signage about the steps the establishment is taking to ensure client, employee, and licensee safety will help the public know your commitment to their health and safety. Establishments may consider adding information about the policies and practices to their websites. ● Requesting that a client or guest wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before, after, and during each treatment may help protect the licensee and employees. ● Client contact with non-sanitized floor surface should be minimized. For locations with flooring that cannot be sanitized between clients using a non-porous barrier to protect the client and the licensee from potential contaminates on the floor is advised. The barrier should be placed between where the client undresses and the table. For licensees that evaluate gate and require clients to walk in their treatment rooms, if the floor cannot be sanitized, a non-porous barrier should be used in the area where the client will be walking. ● All linens should be sanitized by washing with laundry detergent and hot water followed by drying using the highest setting. For establishments with linens provided by a service, the establishment should review the contract or contact the linen service to ensure proper sanitation guidelines are being followed.

● No walk-ins are permitted, and licensees and therapists must only serve one client at a time. ● Prior to the licensee providing services, a basic screening of the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 should be conducted along with a health history intake form. Screening of existing clients should include at a minimum the following questions:

● During the past 14 days have you experienced a fever, dry cough, fatigue, or systemic muscle aches or pain? ● During the past 14 days have you or anyone in your home experienced a fever, dry cough, fatigue, or systemic muscle aches or pain? ● During the past 14 days have you been around anyone who has experienced a fever, dry cough, fatigue, or systemic muscle aches or pain? ● Are you currently residing with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or is being quarantined for possible exposure to COVID-19 or any other pathogen? ● Have you taken any medication in the past 6 hours that could have lowered your body temperature such as aspirin, Tylenol, or Ibuprofen? ● Have you travelled outside the state of Nevada in the past 14 days?
