February meeting The Churchill County Commission met in late February to discuss a number of items including the modernization and expansion of the Navy’s training range. Churchill County met with the Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro, in November following a meeting with Acting Undersecretary of the Navy, Meredith Berger, in October. The county expressed its concerns with the Navy’s proposed FRTC Modernization in both meetings and requested a meeting with the appropriate federal and state stakeholders to work through the remaining differences and to find a collaborative solution in the coming year. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 was passed by Congress at the end of 2021, but the final version did not include expansion of the Fallon Range Training Complex. Congressional activity is anticipated to begin shortly on the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2023. The county’s proposed FRTC Modernization and Lands Bill is still represented in Division A of Congressman Mark Amodei’s Northern Nevada Economic Development, Conservation, and Military Modernization Act of 2021 (H.R. 5243). This bill has not received a hearing. The congressional delegation (Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, and Amodei) remains active and engaged in seeking a solution for all involved parties. Commissioners also ratified a scoping comment letter to the Notice of Intent to amend Land Use Plans regarding Greater Sage-grouse conservation and preparation of associated Environmental Impact Statements Commissioners voted to increase the salary range for the maintenance aide position from Grade 27 to Grade 33. With the current work force issues, the Parks and Recreation Department is encountering issues with filling and retaining seasonal help. These positions are in place to assist the department during the busy seasons. They also approved $2,500 for the Lahontan Valley Claybreakers. Their 2022 season runs from March 2022 through July 2022.
