Grindstone building and Ruby Vista upgrades top Elko TV District capital list
Summary
Board prioritized capital projects with finishing the Grindstone building/power/pad as top priority, followed by Ruby Vista building upgrades and road grading; members discussed RFPs, potential re‑phasing and reliance on partner cost‑shares for projects like a snowcat.
Board members ranked capital priorities for the coming fiscal years, placing completion of the Grindstone building, pad and power at the top. Speaker Ken described steps needed to finish Grindstone and said an RFP for construction work will likely be required; the group discussed re‑phasing other projects to keep capital spending closer to $800,000.
Ruby Vista upgrades (staff cited an original budget figure of $317,000) were listed as a second priority and several members noted engineering and paving work could roll between fiscal years. The board also discussed acquiring a snowcat (estimated $278,000) and a roughly $100,000 service vehicle; staff proposed cost‑sharing with Elko County and Elko County Fire Protection District to split the snowcat cost.
