County staff: splash pad done, soccer fields still in design; public presses for transparency
Summary
Public works told commissioners the splash pad contractor has completed work and staff are finishing remaining tasks; soccer fields remain in design and will use grass after a turf grant failed, and residents sought clearer budgets and timelines.
Public works staff updated the board that the Pahrump splash pad contractor has completed its work and town staff are finishing remaining items in order to open the amenity for the summer season. "The contractor is complete. They're 100% done," said Jimmy Martinez, noting town staff remain to finish other site tasks and that a July 4 event has drawn staff resources.
On the soccer fields, Martinez said design work continues and that the county has opted for grass fields after failing to secure a turf grant: "Soccer fields, they're still in design... we did change that design or that process in the drawing, and they are working as fast as they can to get that done." Martinez also said the site already has parking (about 200–250 spaces), restrooms and septic infrastructure in place. Public commenters asked for clearer accounting of the multi‑million dollar allocation for the soccer fields—roads, irrigation, septic and other site work—and demanded transparency about when funds will be spent and what will be accomplished.
What’s next: staff said they aim to open the splash pad this summer and will return with more specific timelines for the soccer fields design and construction.
