Board approves November and December bills; Bath Lumber ratification deferred
Summary
The board voted to pay November and December bills, questioned several large payments including a $21,000 architect fee, and deferred ratification of a payment to Bath Lumber because a quorum was not present for that item.
The White Pine County Tourism and Recreation Board approved payment of its November and December bills at the Dec. 17 meeting, after members questioned several notable charges and a separate ratification was deferred because of a lack of quorum.
Member Jason Bath moved to pay check nos. 12758 through 12785 for December, with an exclusion of check no. 12763 to Bath Lumber; Member Janet VanCamp moved to pay check nos. 12727 through 12757 for November, with an exclusion of check no. 12732 to Bath Lumber. Both motions carried. The minutes record the amounts as $133,101.46 for the December batch (minus $532.06) and $213,707.16 for the November batch (minus $608.71). The minutes record the results as "Motion carried" but do not include a roll‑call vote.
Members asked questions about several line items. Member VanCamp asked about a December payment of $21,000 to Paul Cavin; Director Kyle Horvath said, "Mr. Cavin is our architect and that is an ongoing expense for the preparation of the convention center remodel." VanCamp also queried a $1,361.13 payment to YESCO Financial Solutions; Horvath explained the fee is for an electronic billboard at Mt. Wheeler Power and that some panels are being kept "on life support." Member Bath asked whether a $2,110 payment to Commnet Wireless covered facility broadband; Horvath confirmed it was for broadband service and noted a separate payment to 5D Networks maintains a minimum backup connection under a three‑year contract.
An agenda item to ratify a payment specifically to Bath Lumber was not acted on because the board lacked a quorum for that ratification.
The board did not attach additional follow‑up instructions in the minutes. The next regular meeting is scheduled for January 2026.
