The Churchill County Board took several routine but substantive actions during the meeting.

Grants and procurement
- The board ratified an agreement between the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services and Churchill County Social Services to deliver community services for $27,847.00 covering Oct. 1–Dec. 31; Shannon Hertz said the award covers partial allocations the office is expending while federal resolutions are finalized. The motion carried by voice vote.
- The board approved purchase of video and security equipment from Carahsoft for the New Pass House and Day Center for $87,414.31. Shannon said the items are part of the Home Means Nevada grant project scope; the board authorized the director to complete the purchase.

Water rights sale
- The board approved the sale of approximately 20.32 acre-feet of underground water rights in Hydrographic Basin 101 to Idaho Asphalt Supply, Inc., and Western Emulsions for $228,250 (the county appraisal price of $12,500 per acre-foot; usable amount reported as 18.26 acre-feet). Joe Sanford said the purchaser had attempted to obtain water rights on the open market without success and the county completed an appraisal. The motion carried by voice vote.

Personnel authority
- The board authorized the district attorney’s office to recruit for DA 1, DA 2 and senior deputy DA positions and to hire qualified candidates as needed; Joe Sanford said the DA’s office is short-staffed and had lost another attorney the prior week. The motion carried by voice vote.

Consent agenda and minutes
- The board approved the consent agenda and earlier approved minutes for Oct. 15, Nov. 10 and Nov. 19, 2025. Several routine items were included and approved without separate discussion.

Each item above passed by voice vote; the meeting minutes and the consent agenda will reflect the approvals and the staff will proceed with implementing the purchases, sale and recruitment actions.
