Routine approvals included adoption of Resolution 8-2025 declaring certain Sheriff’s Office equipment surplus and authorizing disposal, and ratification of a no-cost extension for the county’s Medicaid technical-assistance contract with CSH to Aug. 31, 2025. The board also approved a salon lease between Churchill County Social Services and Sandra Burrell for one beauty-shop station at the William and Pennington Life Center at $400 per month.

A deed transfer conveying real property at 170 Southeast Street (APN 001-545-03) to the City of Fallon was approved; county staff described the action as a cleanup to effectuate an earlier property exchange. Commissioners also appointed Chris Spross to replace Jim Barbee on multiple regional boards effective July 7, 2025.

The board adopted Resolution 9-2025 to assign an additional 1¢ of the ad valorem levy to cooperative extension (bringing that levy portion to 2¢) and adopted Resolution 10-2025 certifying Churchill County’s combined tax rate for FY2025–26. The required publication of a summary fiscal report was noted in the record as having been published before July 1.

Reappointments approved included Carla Pomeroy to the TDR Sending Site Review Committee (term through 06/30/2028), Jason Sibley to the county advisory board to manage wildlife (term 07/01/2025–06/30/2028), and reappointments to the Parks and Recreation Commission of Ava Case, Gary Amiley and Bob Franke (terms through 06/30/2029).

Chris Pross (county staff) presented the application and eligibility review. Rodeo contestants addressed the board: “Our rodeo typically brings more than 200 contestants and their families to Fallon for the 3 day event,” rodeo queen Miley Macedo told commissioners, and contestant Eva Brown said the event “has been a staple in our community since before my mom was a kid.”

Pross explained that the community-support miscellaneous grants line was reduced by 56.4% for FY2025–26, and applying that reduction to the requested $3,000 resulted in $1,307.49 available under current line-item funding. A motion to approve funding in the amount of $1,307.49 carried.

Commissioners invited the community to attend the rodeo on Labor Day weekend, including a queen contest Friday evening and rodeo performances the following two days.","Following presentations by rodeo contestants and organizers, the Churchill County Commission approved a partial grant of $1,307.49 to help fund the Fallon Junior Rodeo.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6520678,"County approves suicide-prevention agreement and youth mental-health funding",101,1149000,1250000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131920-9507a9adaf1498ea96bd551288efba9a&start=1149&end=1250","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131920-9507a9adaf1498ea96bd551288efba9a/thumbnail_1149000.jpg","/articles/6520678/Churchill-County/Nevada/County-approves-suicide-prevention-agreement-and-youth-mental-health-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520678-65ff6a931e7f58f6e88e885dc53692a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770618958&Signature=mqckKA~gENddBxjAUHI5kkfS4ckU~0JrzeSYb4KUWwqQQvGQzw~OvWd9~4EWK-J7j-GavaelsAIq728kCbEaplsoNbvRm1GFb1gnh3T5Qiq~tR5BlcXdKQPyKGD~TSuLdjCm8KN1aJD1mSmYwLI86SU98NInLUbtwf1No4eSBS419Pu47wF49EpBpK7mO4SZDnl~esdIEfkeH-S3hRKhEFGHBD2C~jYgAqSttdqWg6vXBBZ6ADeVSEX~9A82hLW8yVcUYjsEbrzsMlIY~QSwUlg45OZREUb1aI-MF3pwY2cIeEXvbhwQaRTKg1Y2siiBX8F98hwf-p0v98FZB88YOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Churchill County Commissioners approved multiple items aimed at sustaining local suicide-prevention and youth mental-health services.

Shannon Ernst of Churchill County Social Services told the board that the county completed a suicide-prevention and behavioral-health plan and had relied on state contractors for training. “As of July 1, their funding was cut,” Ernst said, and she recommended contracting with Emma White — a trainer previously used by the state — to continue implementing the plan and providing training.

Ernst said the city of Fallon agreed to split the contract cost 50–50 with the county; the county’s social-services budget includes funds for mental-health activities in FY2025–26 and the Churchill County School District agreed to contribute $5,000 from its reduced allocation. The board voted to approve the agreement with Emma White and authorize the county to proceed.

Separately, commissioners approved funding allocations from county accounts to support school and community programs: $20,200 to the Churchill County School District and $19,500 to the Churchill Community Coalition to support positive mental-health and substance-abuse education, Ernst said. Ernst identified the R092 marijuana-tax revenue fund and opioid-settlement funds as the revenue sources for these grants and said the goal is to maintain counseling access in schools and community prevention programming.

“The pay tables for fiscal year 25–26 reflect a general adjustment of 3.625 with a reduction of the employees per increase match of 1.625, effectively netting a 2% increase over the previous year for all general employees,” presenter Chris Bros said. For law enforcement the package included larger nominal adjustments that likewise net to a 2% increase for those classifications, staff said.

The packet also summarized recent state law changes. As presented by staff, Senate Bill 116 (passed in the 80th Nevada Legislature) revises Nevada Revised Statutes so that base salaries for elected county officers adjust beginning July 1 to reflect either compounded CPI increases for the Western Region or a 3% increase above the highest-paid employees supervised by the elected official, whichever is higher. The presentation listed the revised base salaries for the newly effective fiscal year: county commissioners $36,000; clerk-treasurer $107,818; recorder $107,818; assessor $107,818; district attorney $177,808.22; sheriff $135,738. The presenter said tenure-based increases on top of those bases will still apply.

Denise Felton, identified in the record as the county assessor, noted that SB116 contains multiple parts and that there is a separate board authority to provide a 2% annual increase to elected officials: “SB116 was passed, and effective for fiscal year 25, 26, but there are 3 parts to that… section 4 says that the Board of County Commissioners annually can provide a 2% increase for the elected officials.”

Commissioners voted to approve the pay tables as submitted.

“Since 2016, none of the elected officials have received any type of increase, not a general increase, not a step increase, not anything,” District Attorney Mallory said. “They have all received that. … We would simply ask, that you look at the law in general and interpret it in the light best suited to compensate for this shortfall that the elected officials have received.”

Mallory said elected department heads have seen subordinates’ pay rise while elected salaries remained “frozen in time,” and asked commissioners to weigh the human effects of pay decisions when interpreting the law. Mallory also reminded the board that decisions about salaries are the board’s responsibility: “Any decision about salaries and interpreting this bill, has to be the decision of the board. You cannot designate that to a committee.”

No formal action followed public comment. Commissioners moved on to the posted agenda items after the remarks.","During public comment at the Churchill County Board of Commissioners meeting, elected department heads asked the board to consider interpreting state law to allow salary adjustments for elected officials who have not received raises since 2016.","actionData","errors"]
