(purchased through Omnia Partners) to construct an inclusive playground at Studwick Park. The board also approved a $232,380 budget transfer from the central county residential construction tax reserve to the parks improvement account and authorized the Community Services director to execute the contract and approve change orders up to 10%.

Brooke Adey, Douglas County community services director, introduced the project and said county staff and the Park and Recreation Advisory Board prioritized Studwick Park because of accessible parking and nearby restroom facilities. Ryan Stanton, deputy director of Community Services, described the design, which will replace the existing playground with a larger accessible layout, pour‑in‑place surfacing, specialized swings and sensory equipment. Stanton said the county expects the project to be a national demonstration site showcasing inclusive play — the first such demonstration site in Nevada.

The funding plan includes a 50/50 match between the Land and Water Conservation Fund and county funds drawn from room tax and residential construction tax. The board approved a joiner contract through the Omnia Partners cooperative purchasing agreement; the contract price covers equipment, surfacing and installation. Commissioners authorized the Community Services director to allocate additional residential construction tax funds from Central County as they become available to complete the project.

Commissioner Tolbert pressed for a maintenance and testing plan for the playground surfacing, noting that compliant surfaces can degrade under ultraviolet exposure and need periodic verification of firmness and stability to remain accessible. “They have to be inspected and maintained frequently, to ensure continued compliance,” Tolbert said. County staff agreed to include maintenance obligations and to verify installer compliance with manufacturer specifications; staff said they will return with more details on long‑term upkeep and testing schedules.

Public commenters described community advocacy and volunteer fundraising that helped create momentum for the project. Gary Dove, a Park and Recreation Advisory Board member, provided historical context for the project and noted community fundraising and advocacy from service clubs. James McCallop urged the county to publicize how restricted funds are used in order to address residents’ concerns about competing infrastructure priorities. No board members opposed the project.","Douglas County accepted a 50/50 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant for an inclusive playground at Studwick Park, approved a $521,889.92 contract with Playcor Wisconsin via Omnia Partners, and authorized up to 10% in change orders and a $232,380 budget reallocation from residential construction tax.",{"_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},6476690,"Douglas County approves $4.32 million contract to replace Mountain View water tank",535,5476000,6011000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5717627-d0eba16570196d2807d3364e2050e7e8&start=5476&end=6011","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5717627-d0eba16570196d2807d3364e2050e7e8/thumbnail_5476000.jpg","/articles/6476690/Douglas-County/Nevada/Douglas-County-approves-432-million-contract-to-replace-Mountain-View-water-tank","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476690-c82a045314c8ca5dccad843ed66a24a6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770553095&Signature=JMXfIsbUynBFuR31SHe4O9GvZxKRG4ukfiHQAUJG8a65prnpbrcg1iit4fWkWIdbCW8AJi7iFV5rvyK1~du1aQlBHTW68skNObX1603DnENv6UGb48dFG2arN15u4ERKaRvp89Z4C18Ick6CmMy1~14d9Eur40f9lLf8ndcriB-JITcrl~uDDTZosIgPKm-u1ECoNu4WarrDBJ3CHLXDuQEkmQ1ngroYosPRdz0fqWWYulwQrH7KcVTALbI9yv4OJGx9WVKdE-2TF8BgvgL6IN7BNXJQLMLiq8wDuo46WoB9UFPU~iFMeoDhHIXGKugJ71KgSenIGqS5RkTEEZITDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to award a $4,318,300 construction contract to Resource Development Company LLC for the Mountain View Tank Replacement Project and to augment the project budget by $685,000 from capital reserves.

Rick Robillard, deputy director of Public Works, described the project as a replacement of an aging bolted‑steel tank on Hot Springs Mountain at the end of Vicki Road. Robillard said rehabilitation of the existing tank would be difficult because taking storage offline would reduce fire‑flow capacity. The county’s engineering recommendation calls for constructing a new tank, placing it into service, demolishing the existing tank and building a second tank to provide long‑term redundancy and permit future maintenance without compromising fire protection.

The apparent low, responsive bidder was Resource Development Company (RDC). Commissioner Gardner moved to approve the contract, Commissioner Tolbert seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. The board also authorized the county manager or public works director to execute the contract and to approve change orders up to 5% of the original contract price. Resolution 2025 R‑081 to augment project 23W‑01 was approved to transfer $685,000 from capital reserves into the project’s capital outlay budget.

Bob Lucey, former Washoe County commissioner and a representative for RDC who attended the meeting, thanked the board and emphasized the value of local contractors for regional infrastructure projects. Commissioner Tolbert confirmed on the record that the lump‑sum contract line item covers the full scope as proposed — including two tanks — and Robillard confirmed the bid was a single lump sum encompassing both tanks.

The board directed Public Works to move forward with contract execution and noted the department will manage construction oversight and change‑order approvals within the authorized 5% contingency. Public Works was listed as the implementing department; the county manager retains signature authority per the authorization approved by the board.","The Board approved a $4,318,300 construction contract with Resource Development Company LLC to replace the Mountain View tank on Hot Springs Mountain, authorized change orders up to 5%, and approved a $685,000 budget augmentation from capital reserves.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6476695,"State, local partners outline 988 crisis-lifeline integration and invite Douglas County participation",925,1547000,2472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5717627-d0eba16570196d2807d3364e2050e7e8&start=1547&end=2472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5717627-d0eba16570196d2807d3364e2050e7e8/thumbnail_1547000.jpg","/articles/6476695/Douglas-County/Nevada/State-local-partners-outline-988-crisis-lifeline-integration-and-invite-Douglas-County-participation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476695-3462122d59f12bf9f839d3a3d3a849b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770553095&Signature=l5Tv8BOh~1QV78iPvhUpNtUTltGKgoVDYgU2lSjCDPSTKlkLSmNMfJUNFXrvAPKDrqz-tvZMCS-u2-rYSc7hMBGCkDHNjRH0tu8EtHQ0PbsxvyTp7BL4-0kf21uSlxDcx8cNMlix6VEDT1m79WPego0-Kr179Q6cqYF8R7IvVy~4sTSqn8e1qhBuHS86o6diML4LBTU5kaIWz2k6HaD-GinFti0x-WbadgUpwcfpczBxSenPAuiK1Ofb1xQ4K8ICEl5NK065NipYRXshzecvIrR5-7Hu1zogvOujMxg-I5ZJqMg2tNZa0f4dzXlBdeCGnFWM7600bpEe1wE-QimrcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","State and nonprofit officials described Nevada’s rollout and local integration of the 988 behavioral health lifeline at a Douglas County Board of County Commissioners meeting, and asked local agencies to join a statewide coalition to shape how the service routes calls and works with local mobile response teams.

Megan Quintana, identified as the 988 supervisor for the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health, told the board the state aims to answer 95% of 988 calls within 20 seconds by Nevada-based counselors and that 988 is intended for a broad range of behavioral-health needs, not only imminent suicide crises. “Callers remain anonymous and only share what they're comfortable with,” Quintana said. She told commissioners Nevada received roughly 52,000 988 contacts in 2024, 414 of them from Douglas County.

Robin Reedy, executive director of NAMI Nevada, and Mai Tran, community engagement manager for Carillon Behavioral Health, described how the lifeline will connect callers to local resources and how the state is building a broader crisis continuum that includes mobile response teams and crisis stabilization. Tran said Carillon opened a Southern Nevada 988 call center on July 1 and is serving as the state’s administrative services organization for the program. She said the system will route calls by broad location — a process officials called “georouting,” which is distinct from 911’s precise geolocation.

Local nonprofits and public-safety partners urged the county to take part in a statewide 988 coalition and to coordinate local resources. Debbie Poznan, executive director of the Suicide Prevention Network in Douglas County, said her organization had fielded many crisis calls before 988 and now directs callers to the lifeline when appropriate: “When we receive clients that come into our office, they say, 'Wow. I don't know what I would have done without 988.'” Daria Singer, director of Partnership Douglas County, described the county’s MOST mobile outreach team and said locally held data show diversion benefits: since 2017 their MOST program has averaged about 700 911 calls a year and “over 55% of calls divert individuals from our jail and 65% divert them from the hospital.”

Officials answered questions about how calls that require a law-enforcement or medical response will be transferred between 988 and 911. Quintana and Carillon staff said warm handoffs already exist in pilot programs; callers can be transferred to 911 PSAPs for emergency response, and 911 centers can — where pilots exist and policies allow — transfer nonemergency behavioral-health calls to 988. Quintana said about 0.5% of 988 contacts have required law-enforcement intervention in Nevada.

Speakers also addressed funding. Quintana said Nevada funds 988 primarily with a small monthly surcharge on phone service lines — currently 35 cents per line — and that most fee revenue is currently committed to the CareLawn/Carillon contract that operates the state system. She warned federal grant dollars from SAMHSA have been reduced and said the state is evaluating how to allocate existing fee revenue across call centers, mobile response, crisis stabilization and other parts of the crisis continuum.

Commissioners and local providers discussed operational and geographic issues important to Douglas County and nearby communities. Alpine County representatives said many of their residents rely on the Douglas County service area for care; officials asked the state and Carillon to ensure rural routing and cross‑jurisdiction coordination. County staff and nonprofit leaders asked the commissioners to appoint or designate representatives to the new 988 coalition so local differences — Nevada rural, frontier and urban needs — can be represented.

The presenters asked for ongoing local engagement rather than immediate board action; no formal county action was taken. Officials left contact information for the coalition and encouraged county staff and community partners to join. “We really want to work with you guys,” Quintana said, urging local participation in the coalition and in later planning for mobile response and crisis follow-up.","State and nonprofit representatives described Nevada’s 988 crisis-lifeline operations, local call volumes and how 988 will connect with local mobile response and 911 systems, and urged Douglas County officials to join a statewide coalition to shape implementation and local routing.","actionData","errors"]
