Northern Nye trustees approve invoices, defer SIXCO payment until contract is finalized
Summary
The Northern Nye County Hospital District Board of Trustees voted 3-0 July 17 to approve payment of listed invoices while requiring the SIXCO invoice be entered only after a formal contract is approved.
The Northern Nye County Hospital District Board of Trustees voted 3-0 on July 17, 2025, to approve payment of invoices presented at the meeting while stipulating that the district’s $3,001.25 invoice from consultant SIXCO be entered only after a formal contract is approved by district staff.
Board members approved the batch after discussion about the list of vendors and a review of a larger legal/consulting invoice. The motion passed unanimously; trustees recorded three ayes and no opposition.
The invoices listed at the meeting included: REMSA (listed as 31,109), SIXCO ($3,001.25, held pending contract approval), RingCentral ($330.58) and an invoice from Dan MacArthur for $13,281. The meeting materials showed a total of $47,008.45 for the pay run as presented. Trustees said they would enter SIXCO’s charge only after staff confirmed a new contract that explicitly states SIXCO’s role.
Trustees raised two main concerns in discussion. One trustee asked for clarity on SIXCO’s role and whether the district was contracting for construction or for grant-management services; the board was told the contract is being redrafted to state explicitly that SIXCO’s retention is to manage a federal HRSA grant. The same trustee added that the district has no mandate to use the consultant for unrelated projects.
Board members also reviewed the MacArthur invoice and asked staff to check for overlapping billings. A trustee reported that the district confirmed there was no double billing after comparing dates; the invoice included service dates that were discussed as running from July 9, 2024, through March 27, 2025.
A trustee moved to approve payment of the invoices as presented and to include the SIXCO invoice once a formal contract is in place; the motion was seconded and carried 3-0. The board recorded the outcome as “passes 3-0.”
The board did not take action on two agenda items earlier in the meeting (an emergency item and an item removed because a contract was not yet available). The board’s next scheduled meeting was announced as Aug. 21 at 5:00 p.m.
