Churchill County Commissioners met Thursday to approve agenda requests at the first meeting of the month.
Commissioners approved $2,500 in funding for Fallon Lions Club Junior Rodeo held during the Labor Day weekend.
Commissioners also approved $5,000 for EKAY Economic Consultants to update the Churchill County Housing Needs Assessment. Commissioners received an overview of Churchill County and the regional economy and demographics and a residential market supply (Rental / Owner Occupied Market; and a Churchill County Residential Market Demand).
In order to utilize the information in this assessment for the benefit of the county as well as grant applications, discussions with developers, planning for economic development, growth, etc. it is important that the information be updated periodically so that it remains relevant and useful.
An agreement for professional services with Edrie LaVoie has been approved to provide Life Center organizational and financial structure development consulting as an independent contractor for $1,500 a week not to exceed 13 weeks.
LaVoie, retired Lyon County Human Services director, has agreed to provide consulting for the restructuring of the Life Center in organizational and fiscal management under placement of the Social Services Department. LaVoie will assist in the development of grants, budget, and organizational structure of the William N.
