Nevada OHV commission approves multi‑agency grants, declines cleanup group's request
The Nevada Commission on Off‑Highway Vehicles voted to award multiple grants and set conditions on how several projects may use the funds.

At a consolidated motion read by the chair and moved and seconded by commissioners, the commission approved awards that included $61,391.06 for the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (with stipulations on enforcement scope and equipment), $110,000 for the Elgin Schoolhouse OHV Trailhead (restricted to restrooms, picnic tables, a kiosk and trash cans), $10,000 to match California for the Sierra Avalanche Center, $28,065.78 for the Story County Sheriff’s Office (with a preference for in‑state radio purchases), $25,607.80 for the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office (excluding truck purchases or upgrades), and full funding for Nevada Outdoor School (stated as $210,795). The motion also allocated funding for Beatty OHV Staging Area Phase 1 and other applicants with specific stipulations to be clarified by staff.

The rollout followed extended discussion about available funds and whether individual proposals aligned with the commission’s OHV mandate. Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful requested $19,390.12 for a vehicle to support cleanup activities but commissioners questioned the group’s fragmented proposal and whether the purchase qualified as an OHV use. Commissioners debated partial funding (a $2,500 proposal was discussed) and conditions such as requiring partnerships with local law enforcement or other agencies. Ultimately the commission declined to fund the Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful request in this cycle.

Commissioners asked staff to work with program coordinator Matthew and others to finalize amounts for applicants where administrative details (including a 15% administrative fee for one applicant) needed confirmation. The commission instructed staff to follow up on several stipulations — for example, confirming whether certain barrels or site elements are eligible — and to return with any required clarifications.

The motion was moved and seconded on the record and adopted by voice vote; the transcript records affirmative 'Aye' responses and no change to the motion after the vote. The chair noted remaining available funds before proceeding to the next agenda item.

The commission also agreed to roll over leftover funds where appropriate and to finalize award paperwork after staff completes follow‑up with applicants.

The commission did not record a full roll‑call tally in the transcript for each award; the action taken and stipulations above reflect the motion as read into the record by the chair.
