Churchill County reappoints Carla Pomeroy and Jason Sibley to key advisory committees

The Board of County Commissioners for Churchill County, Nevada, convened on July 3, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including budget updates, reappointments to various committees, and reports from county management.

The meeting began with a review of the public works budget, which included $1,140 allocated for planning commissioners to meet prior to each meeting. Additionally, the social services department reported a minor budget adjustment of $221 for standby time, clarifying that this change would not impact the overall budget.

Following the budget discussions, the board considered the reappointment of Carla Pomeroy to the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Sending Site Review Committee for another three-year term, effective July 1, 2025. Pomeroy, who has served since 2019, was recognized for her qualifications and experience. The motion for her reappointment was unanimously approved.

Next, Jason Sibley was reappointed to the Churchill County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife for a term also effective from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. Sibley has been a member since 2017 and has expressed a desire to continue his service, which was supported by the board.

The board then addressed the reappointments of Ava Case, Gary Ameli, and Bob Franke to the Churchill County Parks and Recreation Commission for four-year terms beginning July 1, 2025. Their reappointments were also approved without opposition.

The meeting proceeded with the approval of the consent agenda, which passed unanimously.

In the commissioner and management staff reports, various updates were shared. Commissioner Blakey highlighted recent workshops on industrial zoning and expressed optimism about the county's future under new leadership, particularly praising the incoming county manager, Chris Spross. Other commissioners reported on meetings and community engagements, including the search for an interim library director following the resignation of the library director.

Sheriff Hickox provided updates on the sheriff's office, including a successful audit and ongoing projects, while also addressing challenges with service providers for jail television.

The meeting concluded with a positive outlook for the county's future initiatives and a commitment to community engagement and development.
