FALLON - The Board of Churchill County Commissioners held a regular meeting Thursday morning and took action on or discussed the following items:
• Ron Juliff updated the commission on his first 90 days as the Churchill County Emergency Management Coordinator and discussed his future plans, which includes increasing public awareness and improving communication procedures for large-scale emergencies.
• Approval of agreement between Carson Water Subconservancy District and Churchill County for reimbursement of $50,000 to assist with a Flood Risk Assessment Study.
• Churchill County Plan-ning Department Associate Planner, Terri Pereira, said the study involves collecting elevation data for Lahontan Valley, so Churchill County can have predictions of water movement in a flood.
• Approval to submit a revised application to Community Development Block Grant for the Oasis Mobile Home Park Water/Sewer Construction Project.
• Shannon Ernst, Churchill County Social Services director, said she had to revise the application because the project was originally intended for multiple locations along U.S. Highway 50, but only the mobile home park met the updated arsenic level requirements.
• Approval of Churchill County Social Services program and grant funding update and request for funding matching.
• Ernst presented a summary of Social Services' programs, which showed an increase in participants in Project Food and an increase of 606 family applicants for emergency services.
Ernst provided a review of the new Community Services Block Grant Employment Stimulus Program, which will provide specialized and general training for adults and youth throughout the community.
Ernst said the program focuses on citizens capable of filling geothermal positions and youth who are not considered “at-risk.”
