A
A
The
last
point
mr
weiss
made
was
even
if
the
county
wanted
to
match
the
innovation
zone
in
terms
of
technology
and
data
generation
and
analysis,
the
cost
would
be
prohibited.
Innovation
zone
structure
ensures
innovation
without
burdening
existing
local
governments.
To
illustrate
this
point,
let's
talk
about
a
concrete
example.
A
A
simple
example
would
be
an
incompatibility
within
the
county
system,
and
potential
innovation
zone
system
is
the
tax
collection.
Blockchain
technology
allows
for
the
collection
of
taxes
in
real
time
right
when
transactions
are
taking
place.
Implementation
of
such
a
new
system
in
a
smart
community
built
from
the
ground
up
is
relatively
straightforward.
A
A
Without
this
legislation,
therefore,
investors
are
not
investing
on
the
merits
of
the
burns
innovation
zone
and
smart
city
concept,
as
mr
white
testified
to.
We
believe
this
is
true,
but
is
that
the
legislature's
role
to
pass
laws
so
a
new
ongoing
excuse?
A
new
emerging
business
can
find
investors
I'd
like
to
go
now
to
the
next
spreadsheet,
and
this
is
agenda
item
comparison
of
governments,
models.
A
And
what
it
is,
is
I'm
comparing
the
disney
creek
reedy
creek
improvement
district
for
versus
the
burns
innovation
zone?
That,
and
so
I
have
a
description.
I
have
yes
and
no
as
much
as
I
could
yes
and
no
answers
to
how
reedy
creek
addresses
it,
how
the
innovation
zone
addresses
it
and
then
notes.
A
First
off
when
you
compare
the
disney
reedy
creek
improvement
district,
which
is
enacted
in
florida
in
1967
to
mr
burns
innovation
zone
legislation,
the
first
a
question
is:
what
level
of
government
did
each
entity
propose
to
their
respective
legislatures
in
the
disney's
reedy
creek
improvement
district?
They
the
disney
proposed
to
the
1967
legislature,
a
general
improvement
district.
A
A
A
How
long
of
a
period
is
that
from
when
one
person
in
state
government
approves
the
application
for
an
innovation
zone
until
a
hundred
or
more
voters
reside
in
the
in
innovation
zone,
and
I
was
glad
to
hear
this
morning
that
ms
combs
stated
that
it
could
be
many
years
before
between
that
period
and
will
mr
burns
allow
the
loss
of
control
over
his
government
because
he
does
control
two-thirds
of
the
votes
and
and
just
because
there
is
no
fiduciary
interests.
Excuse
me:
pecuniary
interests,
there's
a
lot
of
other
ways.
A
You
control
boats
and
people
than
just
the
culinary,
and
then
why
was
a
hundred
or
more
registered
voters?
The
threshold
decided?
Is
it
because
mr
burns
have
approximately
100
employees
in
his
business
per
linkedin
and
he
can
control
them
as
disney
controls,
its
executive
employees,
who
are
the
only
voting
members
of
the
reedy
creek
improvement
district
number?
Four?
Do
the
governments
operate
within
existing
counties?
The
land
is
located
in
yes,
reedy
creek
operates
within
the
two
florida
counties
of
orange
and
osceola
in
the
innovation
zone.
The
answer
is
no.
A
Mr
burns
proposed
innovation
zone
when
it
would,
in
effect,
secede
40
percent
of
story,
county
land
from
story
county
number.
Five.
Does
the
legislation
creating
the
governance
include
a
legal
description
of
the
boundaries
of
the
governmental
entity
in
the
reedy
creek
improvement
district
legislation?
A
Yes,
they
actually
had
the
boundaries
legal
description
of
the
boundaries,
but
in
innovation
zone
legislation
there
is
no
boundaries.
There
is
no
legal
description
of
the
land
within
the
innovation
zone.
Therefore,
the
zone's
boundaries
I
mean,
could
they
change?
Could
they
could
the
innovation
zone
annex
adjacent
properties
such
as
tesla,
google
and
switch?
A
Could
the
innovation
zone
de-annex
areas
every
government
in
nevada
has
a
legal
description
of
the
land
within
their
jurisdiction?
Why
is
the
legal
description
of
the
land
the
innovation
zone
would
govern
not
be
included?
How
can
basic
governance
occur
if
there
is
no
boundary
of
governing
jurisdictions?
A
Number
six?
Does
the
legislation
creating
the
governance,
allow
a
person
unknown
to
the
legislature,
control
of
a
government
under
the
reedy
creek?
The
answer
is
no,
because
the
florida
legislature
knew
it
was
disney
and
they
everyone
knew
disney,
had
built
disneyland
and
was
there
was
no
need
to
to
do
anything
more
other
than
hey
it's
disney,
but
in
this
process
in
the
innovation
zone
process
you
could
actually
have
a
person
unknown
to
the
legislature,
control
of
the
innovation
zone
government
because
they
are
going
to
control
two
of
the
three
vote.
A
A
Mr
burns
proposal
is
for
any
person
who
submits
an
application
to
establish
an
innovation
zone
and
is
granted
approval
through
a
bureaucratic
process,
and
that
is
what
will
control
how
the
government
is
established
and
just
as
a
side
note,
the
legislature
approved
tesla's
economic
development
proposal.
Knowing
it
was
tesla,
not
an
unknown
person
or
business.
A
There
are
no.
The
other
thing
that's
very
worrying
to
me
and
I'll
will
get
to
this.
Is
there
are
no
qualifications
of
this
person,
including
requiring
them
to
be
a
us
citizen
they
this
person,
this
applicant,
does
not
have
to
be
a
u.s
citizen
number
seven.
Does
the
legislation
creating
the
governance
include
police
powers,
judicial
powers,
health
authority
powers,
welfare
powers
and
school
powers
and
authority
in
reedy
creek?
A
No,
it
doesn't
because
they're,
not
a
county
in
the
innovation
zone.
Yes,
it
does
because
mr
burns
proposed
innovation
zone
powers
include
all
county
powers
and
authority
number
eight.
Do
the
businesses
and
citizens
of
the
respected
models
do
they
pay
on
property
taxes
and
sales
tax
for
and
there's
a
big
difference
here,
because
in
in
the
reedy
creek
situation,
it's
not
a
county,
they
didn't
develop
a
county
which
its
land
is
seceded
from
another
county.
A
A
No-
and
I
appreciate
the
the
discussion
this
morning,
I
would
say
it's
limited
on
the
property
tax,
but
in
regards
to
the
consolidated
tax,
I
believe
that
that
is
where
the
the
real
issue
is
is
because
you're
you're
taking
story
county
and
you're
cutting
out
40
percent
that
it's.
So
what
they're
talking
about
is
that
they
would
hold
harmless.
They
say
story
county
on
the
property
tax
that
once
they
decide
to
take
over
all
the
government
could
be
many
years
from
now.
A
Then
the
property
tax
would
be
frozen
for
story
county
and
they
would
get
that
in
in
the
future.
This
property
tax
is
a
smaller
revenue
source
for
most
local
governments.
The
big
revenue
source
is
the
consolidated
tax.
This
the
sales
tax,
particularly
within
the
consolidated
tax
in
section
29,
mr
burns
proposed
innovation
zone.
A
It
would,
what
would
happen
is
they
are
requiring
it
and
I'll
get
into
this
more
they're
requiring
the
consolidated
tax,
which
is
the
major
portion,
is
the
sales
tax
to
go
permanently
back
to
the
innovation
zones.
As
I
read
it,
it's
not
at
the
time
that
they
decide
to
take
over
all
the
services
there.
A
However,
with
mr
burns
being
able
to
consolidate
all
the
county
offices
into
one
at
a
low
cost,
mr
burns
would
be
able
to
take
the
tax
dollars
and
pay
for
his
development
costs,
instead
of
it
being
born
by
the
developer.
Mr
burns,
the
county
property
taxes
would
be
paid
to
the
innovation
zone
after
taking
over
all
the
services,
and
I
I
appreciate
that
that
clarification.
This
morning,
number
nine:
does
the
governance
allow
for
the
unilateral
expansion
of
powers
and
authorities
by
disney
or
burns
for
reedy
creek?
The
answer
is
no
for
the
innovation
zone.
A
The
answer
is
yes.
Mr
burns
proposal
would
allow
the
innovation
zone
board
of
supervisors
the
ability
to
take
on
county
services,
authorities
and
powers
whenever
they
wish,
with
60
days
notice,
to
the
original
accounting.
Providing
the
service
disney's
ready,
creek
could
expand
its
governmental
services
well,
first
off
in
the
actual
florida
legislation
it
defined
every
single
service
that
they
could
could
actually
provide
disney
wanted
to
do
more
than
that
expand
its
governmental
services.
That
could
only
happen
if
they
had
cooperative
agreements
with
the
county
or
another
government.
A
A
Mr
burns
proposal
establishes
not
a
legislative
process
to
approve
the
establishment
of
the
innovation
zone
county,
but
a
bureaucratic
process
while
breedi
creek
improvement,
district
controlled
by
walt
disney
world
was
approved
by
the
1967
florida
legislature
and
on
a
side
note,
the
le
tesla
project
was
approved
in
special
session
of
the
legislature,
not
by
a
bureaucrat
number
11
did
the
proposer
of
the
legislation
have
development
experience
under
reedy
creek?
Yes,
it
was
disney
under
innovation
zone.
No.
A
A
The
draft
innovation
zone
legislation
legislation
provides
its
path.
Therefore,
it
appears
mr
weiss
is
suggesting
it
is
likely
impossible
to
affect
the
necessary
partners
and
investors
on
their
own.
Mr
weiss
is
suggesting
they
currently
do
not
have
the
financial
resources
to
do
the
project
and
they
will
have
to
raise
the
money
to
do
the
project
and,
like
disney
tesla,
also
had
sufficient
resources
to
build
the
gigafactory
in
story
county
at
the
time
of
the
2014
nevada,
legislative
approval
of
the
project
and
incentive
number
13
did
proposer
of
the
legislation
own
or
lease
the
land.
A
The
project
would
be
built
on
under
the
disney
reedy
creek.
Yes,
they
owned
the
lamp
and
it's
unknown
under
blockchains
mr
burns's
innovation
proposal,
and
this
is
why
I
say
that
mr
vern's
proposal
in
section
11
states
to
be
eligible
for
approval
as
an
innovation
zone.
The
proposed
area
must
consist
of
at
least
50
000,
contiguous
acres
of
undeveloped
land,
owned
or
controlled
by
the
applicant.
A
A
A
The
conclusion
of
part
two
of
this
presentation:
comparisons
of
governance
models
between
disney,
the
reedy,
creek
improvement
district
and
the
innovation
zone
shows
how
different
they
really
are.
I
have
learned
through
this
exercise
and
review
songdo
south
korea,
that
there
is
no
precedent
for
bdr
1109
innovation
zone
legislation.
A
A
A
A
A
In
fact,
it
could
even
be
a
person
from
a
foreign
government
which
is
an
american
adversary.
There's
no
limitation.
There
is
a
concern.
The
focus
is
on
policy
and
not
on
the
person
in
1945,
the
nevada
legislature
created
the
first
state
gaming
license
and
tax
the
low
tax
rate
and
highly
lucrative
business
caught
the
attention
of
legitimate
and
non-legitimate
developers,
such
as
organized
crime,
the
mafia,
the
threat
of
federal
intervention
became
intimate.
A
In
today's
world,
stable
coin
in
cryptocurrency,
which
is
touted
by
the
innovation
zone,
proponents
is
under
federal
investigation.
In
a
may,
13
2021
baron's
article
finance
is
under
federal
investigation,
bitcoin
coinbase
and
the
crypto
world
are
re
reeling.
The
article
states
regulators
have
long
had
concerns
that
cryptos
are
funding
illegal
activities
such
as
money
laundering
or
tax
evasion.
A
A
There
is
no
qualification.
The
person
has
to
have
prior
governmental
administration,
yet
they
will
build
a
government
from
scratch.
What
happens
when
the
person
passes
away?
Does
innovation
zone
remain
in
effect?
What
if
the
land
located
in
the
innovation
zone
where
sold
or
inherited
by
someone
else?
A
A
A
The
third
concern
on
page
8
and
9
is
section
13.,
paragraph
1
b2
an
estimate
of
the
number
of
employees.
What
they
have
one
some
of
the
things
that
innovation
zone
has
to
do.
They
have
to
provide
an
estimate
of
the
number
of
employees
anticipated
to
be
engaged
in
construction
of
infrastructure,
community
commercial
developments
and
residences
within
the
zone,
and
the
number
of
employees
anticipated
to
be
employed
by
businesses
within
the
zone
within
10
and
20
years
after
approval
of
the
creation
of
the
zone.
A
The
concern
is
that
the
bill
draft
requires
the
applicant
to
provide
10
and
20-year
information
on
the
number
of
employees
in
10
and
20-year
estimate
on
the
economic
impact
of
the
innovation
zone
to
be
provided
to
the
economic
development
director.
Tesla
was
also
required
to
provide
a
20-year
information
on
the
number
of
employees
in
economic
impact.
A
The
problem
is:
there's
no
accountability
in
a
75-year
economic
development
impact
study,
since
all
persons
deciding
on
the
project
would
not
even
be
here
by
then
a
10
and
20
year.
Economic
development
study
on
the
innovation
zone
should
be
provided
to
this
nevada
state
legislature
in
compliance
with
this
past
practice.
A
Our
concern
is
in
a
new
york
times.
Article
dated
november
1
2018,
entitled
quote
a
cryptocurrency
millionaire,
wants
to
build
a
utopia
in
nevada.
Unquote,
mr
burns
stated
quote:
he
has
spent
300
million
on
the
land
offices
planning
and
a
staff
of
70
people
unquote.
Therefore,
this
requirement
of
250
million
initial
investment.
It's
not
new
money.
A
The
fifth
concern
on
page
9,
section
13e,
is
a
commitment
to
make
an
additional
capital
investment
of
at
least
1
billion
in
the
zone
during
the
10
years.
Following
approval
of
the
application,
our
concern
is,
this
is
nevada.
Nevada
has
many
many
economic
development
projects
over
a
billion
dollars
whose
owners
did
not
get
control
of
a
government
examples
of
some
of
these
projects.
Over
1
billion
are
mgm
grand
las
vegas,
the
bellagio,
the
venetian
tesla
switch.
A
A
The
sixth
concern
it's
on
pages
8
9
and
10,
section
13,
and
I
think
this
is
what
assemblyman
watts
was
was
one
of
his
questions
was:
is
there's
no
requirement
for
a
feasibility
study
of
the
project
which
should
include
governmental,
financial
and
technological
feasibility
and
feasibility
of
adequate
water
resources
and
the
plan
and
financing
to
deliver
the
water
to
the
development
side?
There's
no
requirement
of
that.
All
they
have
to
do
is
certify
certified.
That
means
signature
on
a
piece
of
paper.
A
A
A
Our
eighth
concern
is
on
page
10,
section
13-2
to
be
eligible
for
approval
as
an
innovation
zone.
The
proposed
area
must
a
consist
of
at
least
50
000,
contiguous
acres
of
undeveloped
land,
owned
or
controlled
by
the
applicant.
Just
like
I
stated
before.
Does
this
mean
a
person
who
owns
50,
000
or
more
contiguous
acres?
Could
lease
the
property
to
another
unknown
party
and
the
unknown
party
could
apply
for
the
innovation
zone?
A
Ninth
concern
pages
12
and
13,
section
16,
except,
is
otherwise
provided
in
this
chapter
upon
approval
of
an
application
to
create
an
innovation
zone.
One
the
innovation
zone
becomes
a
local
government
and
a
political
subdivision
of
the
state
with
the
powers
and
duties
of
a
county
separate
from
an
independent
of
the
county
in
which
it
is
located.
A
A
The
board
consists
of
three
members,
two
of
whom
must
be
appointed
from
a
list
of
at
least
five
nominees
proposed
by
the
applicant.
The
third
member
of
the
board
must
be
appointed
by
the
governor
based
upon
qualifications
and
experience
that
will
enable
the
person
appointed
to
carry
out
the
duties
of
the
board.
A
Our
concern
is
because
the
applicant
would
be
allowed
two
members
of
the
board
of
supervisor
to
be
their
nominee
out
of
three
members.
The
applicant
will
have
majority
control
over
the
board
of
supervisors
and
again,
the
pecuniary
interest
is
only
one
element.
You
can
still
have
control
over
people
without
pecuniary
pecuniary
interests.
A
A
The
twelfth
concern
on
page
16,
section
19
until
the
board
determines
pursuant
to
section
23
of
this
act.
The
zone
intends
to
assume
all
of
the
duties
and
responsibilities
of
county
government,
except
as
otherwise
provided
in
this
chapter.
A
the
board
may
not
impose
one
attacks
on
real
property
within
the
zone.
Two
attacks
on
motor
vehicle
fuel
fuel
for
jet
or
turbine
powered
aircraft
or
aviation
fuel
sold
in
the
innovation
zone,
three
attacks
on
the
cell
or
use
of
tangible
personal
property
within
the
innovation
zone.
A
The
our
concern
is
the
innovation
zone,
property
abuts,
the
properties
of
tesla
and
switch
in
google.
What,
if
eventually
or
early
on
what?
If
the
innovation
zone?
Annex
those
properties,
if
the
zone
annexes
tesla
switch
in
google
and
I'm
sorry,
it's
been
discussed
guys
if
they
annex
it
before
the
zone
is
ready
to
assume
all
of
the
duties
of
county
government.
Does
that
mean
tesla
switch
and
google
would
not
have
to
pay
sales
tax
or
property
tax
because
there
would
be
none
of
the
taxes
enacted
within
the
zone?
A
A
In
addition,
what
if
the
innovation
zone
were
able
to
annex
into
the
tahoe
reno
industrial
center
after
the
zone
assumes
all
of
the
duties
of
the
government
and
the
zone
was
able
to
levy
sales
and
property
tax?
Would
this
mean
the
unabated
taxes
from
these
companies
would
go
to
the
innovation
zone
and
not
to
story
county
taxpayers.
A
The
13th
concern
page
17,
section
20
1,
except
as
otherwise
provided
in
section
19
of
this
act.
The
board
may
impose
any
taxes
or
fees
authorized
to
be
imposed
by
a
county
if
the
tax
or
fees
support
a
service
being
provided
by
the
county
in
which
the
innovation
zone
is
situated.
The
board
shall
provide
60
days
notice
to
the
county
of
the
intention
of
the
board
to
assume
responsibility
for
the
service
and
impose
the
tax
or
fee.
A
A
The
board
may
establish
a
justice
court
upon
the
establishment
of
a
justice
court.
The
zone
shall
be
deemed
a
township
for
the
purposes
of
chapter
4
of
nrs.
Until
the
board
establishes
a
justice
court,
the
zone
is
subject
to
the
jurisdiction
of
the
justice
court
for
the
township,
in
which
the
innovation
zone
is
situated.
B
A
C
C
The
virginia
township
justice
court
is
a
court
within
the
first
judicial
district
of
nevada,
which
includes
story
county
in
carson
city
story.
County
is
one
justice
of
the
peace.
That's
me
and
two
district
court
judges
to
oversee
cases.
I,
the
justice
of
the
peace,
handle
all
the
criminal
matters,
as
well
as
the
general
civil,
the
small
claims,
protection
orders
and
evictions.
C
I
basically
deal
with
all
the
harsh
realities
of
living
in
a
free
society
from
just
a
local
level.
I
have
some
concerns
about
placing
another
court
in
a
separate
area
of
jurisdiction
such
as
this
autonomous
zone,
when
the
zone's
intention
is
to
eventually
separate
from
the
county
and
after
reading
the
bill
draft.
C
The
most
glaring
problem
from
a
justice
standpoint
is
that
this
zone
intends
to
enter
into
the
business
of
administering
justice
and
its
board
once
appointed,
has
the
power
to
establish
a
justice
court
to
defeat
two,
as
miss
walker
said,
to
be
deemed
a
township
and
appoint
a
justice
of
peace
without
even
having
any
residents
within
that
township
and,
as
miss
walker
pointed
out
those
members
of
the
board,
they
might
not
even
be
u.s.
Citizens
and
they'll
be
appointing
a
justice
of
the
peace,
and
at
that
point
the
court
is
still
part
of
story.
C
C
The
real
problem
arises
when
the
threshold
of
a
100
registered
voters
within
the
zone
is
met,
so
it's
then
possible
when
I
see
it
for
a
hundred
people
to
elect
a
judge
who
must
administer
impartial
and
unbiased
decisions
within
this
zone.
That's
a
challenging
task
for
any
judge
and
how
does
a
judge
find
12,
impartial,
jurors
from
100
people
when
it
takes
about
70
people
just
to
see
12
jurors?
C
So,
while
the
zone's
eventual
takeover
may
be
acceptable
for
many
facets
of
a
person's
life,
it's
a
completely
different
matter
when
it
comes
to
the
administration
of
justice,
which
is
an
essential
part
of
a
just
society.
An
affected
effective
legal
process
not
only
protects
suspects
and
defendants,
it
gives
victims
the
confidence
that
justice
will
be
done.
C
C
It
appears
that
a
lot
of
work
needs
to
be
done
in
addressing
not
only
population
thresholds,
how
the
jp's
appointed
there's
so
many
levers
levels
to
this.
It's
hard
to
address
right
now,
but
that's
whether
or
not
the
zone's
ability
to
properly
administer
justice
within
its
boundaries
is
very
questionable.
B
Yes-
and
I
just
want
to
clarify-
because
I
clarified
with
my
legal-
I
know
we
don't
have
her
specifically
spelled
out,
but
it
as
a
speaker
or
the
judiciary
kind
of
on
here,
but
it
it
does
fit
under
other
governance
models.
B
So
we
can
go
ahead
and
keep
it
on
the
in,
as
under
that
agenda
item.
Okay,.
A
A
A
A
A
A
What
if
there
was
a
hit
and
run
in
the
innovation
zone
county?
What?
If
there's
witnesses,
who
file
a
complaint
against
a
party
in
this
innovation
zone
county
because
but
because
the
sheriff
is
also
the
district
attorney,
he
decides,
there's
no
evidence
because
the
perpetrator
was
actually
his
brother-in-law
he's
protecting
his
brother-in-law.
A
Local
governments
provide
building
permits
and
have
third-party
inspectors
inspect.
Building
construction
to
ensure
they
comply
with
the
building
codes
and
that
the
building
is
actually
safe
if
a
private
business,
constructing
commercial
or
residential
buildings
is
also
its
own
building
inspector,
where
are
the
checks
and
balances
who
is
ensuring
the
buildings
are
safe?
A
A
But,
madam
chairman,
I
appreciate
you
having
a
future
discussion
about
this,
because
it's
very
complicated
and-
and
I
appreciate
your
thoughtfulness
on
it
in
in
section
31
paragraph-
one-
it
states
for
the
purposes
of
distribution
from
the
local
government
tax
distribution
account
created
pursuant
to
nrs360.660
taxes
collected
within
an
innovation
zone,
must
be
returned
to
the
innovation
zone
in
the
matter
provided
in
nrs
360.680,
and
then
they
go
ahead
and
change
in
section
38
360.680
and
they
state
on
or
before
july.
A
A
To
me,
this
is
a
permanent
abatement
of
the
consolidated
tax.
Blockchain
incorporated
would
argue
these
taxes
will
go
back
to
the
innovation
zone
in
order
to
pay
for
the
cost
of
the
newly
organized
county.
However,
how
much
cost
will
there
be
when
the
innovation
zone
could
combine
the
various
county
departments
into
one
position?
A
As
I
read
this,
the
it
would
actually
be
at
the
time
that
the
executive
director
of
economic
development
approves
the
the
innovation
zone.
It's
at
that
time
that
the
sea
tax
can
go
permanently
to
the
innovation
zone,
it's
not
later
on.
When
they
decide
to
take
all
of
the
services
it's
up
front,
they
would
be
taking
it.
A
A
It's
not
only
that,
but
it's
it's.
It's
the
loss
of
the
future
growth
of
story
county
and
its
tax
revenue
news,
and
I'm
very
concerned
that,
if
the
if
the
innovation
zone,
annexes
tesla,
google
and
switch
properties
because
they're
right
next
door,
the
local
sales
taxes
which
the
sccrt
and
bccrt
once
they're
no
longer
abated,
they
would
go
to
the
innovation
zone
and
not
to
the
straight
county
taxpayers.
A
A
The
last
concern
on
on
page
29
is
section
321.
If,
on
january,
1
of
any
year
in
which
a
general
election
is
held,
the
county,
clerk
or
registrar
of
voters
determines
that
there
are
100
or
more
registered
voters
residing
within
the
innovation
zone.
Innovation
zone
must
conduct
elections,
as
provided
in
this
section.
The
clerk
or
registrar
shall
notify
the
board
and
transmit
all
necessary
information
concerning
the
registered
voters
in
the
district,
the
board
or
the
clerk
for
the
zone.
If
one
has
been
appointed
shall
conduct
the
election.
A
A
What
will
happen
between
the
time
that
the
innovation
zone
is
established
and
potentially,
many
years
later,
when
the
election
to
elect
the
board
of
supervisors
occurs?
Will
the
applicant
and
or
innovation
zone
board
members
want
to
see
control
over
the
government
and
give
it
to
the
citizens
to
control
via
the
vote
and
assemblyman
watts?
A
Had
a
very
good
point,
he
said
he
was
talking
about
the
property
taxes
and,
and
it
would
how
the
freezing
of
the
property
taxes
would
would
be
an
incentive
for
the
innovation
zone
to
to
take
over
all
of
the
services.
I
guess
what
I
would
say
to
that
is
the
property.
Taxes
are
a
very
small
part
of
many
local
governments.
Revenue
sources,
it's
it's,
not
the
big
potatoes.
The
big
potatoes
are
the
the
sales
tax
taxes
that
we're
worried
about.
A
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that
would
really
be
an
incentive
for
them
to
to
move
earlier
to
have
the
vote
at
the
reedy
creek
improvement
district
in
florida,
disney
world
decided
not
to
have
residents
because
they
didn't
want
to
lose
control
over
governing
the
improvement
district.
Will
that
be
the
same
with
the
innovation
zone?
A
A
A
Government
typically
plays
that
role,
for
example,
protecting
the
victims
of
a
crime
when
a
private
person
or
business
may
try
to
keep
the
crime
from
surfacing,
because
it
would
make
them
look
bad.
They
may
be
more
concerned
about
their
corporate
image
than
providing
the
health
safety
and
welfare
of
its
citizens
and
employees.
A
It's
a
tremendous
conflict
of
interest.
There
are
many
real
world
examples
regarding
the
reedy
creek
improvement
district
and
how
it's
spent
more
time
and
effort
protecting
the
corporate
image
than
protecting
its
own
employees
or
citizens.
There's
lots
of
articles
in
the
orlando
sentinel
on
that
we
need.
We
should
learn
from
this,
and
I
would
urge
you
to
vote
against
bdr1109.
D
B
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
mr
osborne,
I
know
that
we
story
county
has
a
commission
meeting
at
four,
so
we're
at
two
o'clock,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
cognizant
of
time.
I
do
want
to
open
it
up
for
questions
for
mrs
walker
from
committee
members.
B
D
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
more
of
a
comment
on
better
question.
I
really
want
to
thank
mrs
walker
for
her
presentation.
E
It
actually
gives
me
more
questions
than
answers
next
and
I'm
sure
we'll
be
discussing
a
lot
of
this
in
the
future,
but
I
can
tell
that
a
lot
of
work
went
into
this
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
so
this
time,
what
we'll
do
is
we'll,
I
think,
we're
gonna
go
on
to
item
d,
which
is
next,
I'm
gonna
I've
gotta
step
out
for
just
a
quick
second,
so
I'm
gonna
allow
assemblyman
watts
to
do
the
introduction
on
item
d
and
I'll
be
right.
E
All
right,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
item
d
impact
on
public
safety,
we'll
start
with
the
story,
county
sheriff's
office.
F
Afternoon
committee
members,
I
apologize,
my
camera
is
non-functional
for
some
reason,
can
everybody
hear
me?
Okay,
we
can
please
proceed
story.
County
sheriff
gerald
antonio,
the
record
a
lot
of,
or
several
of
my
concerns
are
outlined
in
the
correspondence
that
I
submitted
not
necessarily
going
to
read
through
that
verbatim.
F
But
we'll
talk
about
the
various
concerns
and
several
have
been
already
discussed
today
and-
and
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
funding
of
it
and
understand
that
there's
a
tax
base
of
all
that,
but,
as
we've
seen
the
need
sometimes
outpaces
the
the
resources
available
to
us.
You
know,
as
the
industrial
center
built
out
the
the
tahoe
reno
industrial
center
built
out,
you
know
we
were
able
to
kind
of
grow
with
it.
Depending
on
what
the
developer
does
on
this.
You
know
it
could
explode
overnight.
F
Maybe
it's
not
if
we
have
that
explosive
growth,
what
is
going
to
cover
the
the
funding
resources
needed
for
public
safety
to
keep
up
with
that,
because
the
the
standard
tax
base
is
not,
but
yet
we
still
have
to
provide
a
service
to
folks,
I
know
with
other
heavy
draws.
There
are
agreements
with
developers
as
far
as
you
know,
additional
funding
from
them,
regardless
of
abatements
or
anything,
to
pay
for
the
the
extra
burden
that
is
placed
on
public
safety.
There's
been
no
discussion
of
anything
of
that
nature
that
I've
seen
in
less.
F
F
Services
or
contract,
or
whatever
early
on
there,
was
a
provision
that
it
was
adjacent
jurisdictions
that
could
be
contracted
with
this
latest
version
that
I've
seen
has
the
proximity
clause
removed
from
it,
and
while
it
may
not
be
that
realistic
to
think
that
las
vegas
metro
pd
would
want
a
contract
to
provide
services
there.
It
is
a
very
real
possibility,
as
people
are
struggling
for
dollars
or
wanting
to
expand,
and
then
what
happens
if
that
contract
expires
isn't
renewed,
they
have
to
go
out
for
new
resources.
F
Does
that
default
back
to
the
host
county,
so
in
senator
settlemyre's
question
is,
is
one
that
still
weighs
heavy
as
far
as
are
we
a
provider
of
last
resort?
You
know
other.
There
were
financial
issues
that
were
brought
up,
assemblyman
watts.
I
believe
you
brought
it
up
as
far
as
the
impact
to
bonding
and
and
the
financial
stability
of
story
county.
You
know,
as
this
develops
out,
should
they
not
take
over
resources,
law
enforcement
resources
in
very
short
order,
and
we
have
to
expand
the
sheriff's
office
abilities
right
now.
F
Binary
substation
is
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
county,
from
where
the
innovation
zone
is
going
to
be.
Would
we
have
to
build
a
new
substation?
The
county
jail
is
at
the
far
side
of
the
county
from
the
innovation
zone.
Would
we
have
to
build
a
new
holding
facility
buildings
such
as
that
cost
millions
of
dollars
to
build?
F
That
would
have
an
impact
that
would
change
greatly
from
what
our
county
indebtedness
is
right
now,
if
we
had
to
start
building
structures
like
that
and
then
with
the
different
boards,
the
county
commission
versus
the
board
of
supervisors,
what
standards
are
we
building
to
and
and
if
the
day
comes,
that
the
innovation
zone
wants
to
take
over
those
services?
F
What
happens
to
our
investment?
If
they
don't
want
it,
we're
no
longer
there
it
does.
It
serves
no
purposes
to
the
people
of
story
county
if
they
don't
want
it.
Yet
we've
spent
millions
of
dollars.
We
may
still
be
paying
for
those
buildings
when
we're
no
longer
even
there.
So
those
are
all
funding
issues
that
are
of
concern
and
the
provisions
of
law
enforcement
services
to
the
innovation
zone
in
the
in
the
bdr.
F
It
talks
about
an
applicant
having
to
have
50
000
contiguous,
acre
acres
to
be
eligible
for
this.
Has
anybody
given
any
thought
to
what
that
does
to
the
existing
county,
because
it
it
divides
story,
county
up
outside
of
the
innovation
zone,
into
eight
non-contiguous
areas?
F
And
so
now
I've
got
issues
in
virginia
city,
but
I
also
have
a
small
segment
of
story:
county
population
that's
far
removed
from
anything
out
in
painted
rocks,
surrounded
by
innovation
zone.
There's
the
the
tahoe
reno
industrial
center
that
is
currently
developed,
comstock
meadows
area,
that
is
in
the
process
of
development.
F
Those
are
areas
surrounded
by
the
innovation
zone
that
would
be
outside
of
the
innovation
zone,
creating
a
logistical
nightmare
to
try
and
provide
services
to
not
that
we
wouldn't
or
that
we
couldn't,
but
it
really
provides
a
lot
of
burden
and,
as
the
innovation
zone
takes
over
those
services,
we've
all
heard
of
cross-jurisdictional
issues
or
or
deconfliction.
F
You
know
I've
got
deputies
running
from
one
area
of
story
county
across
miles
of
another
jurisdiction
to
get
to
another
area
of
story
county
to
provide
emergency
services
or
law
enforcement
services
of
any
nature,
and
where
my
people
would
not
necessarily
be
patrolling
the
the
innovation
zone
on
a
regular
basis,
they
may
not
be
familiar
with
how
it
is.
While
we
still
would
proceed
with
new
caution,
you
can
see
the
problem
of
if
we're
crossing
through
another
jurisdiction,
responding
to
an
emergency
in
the
county.
F
You
know
this
amplifies
that
by
a
great
magnitude
having
all
these
different
parties
of
stories,
it's
been
brought
up
as
far
as
the
potential
for
a
conflicting
ordinance
or
rules
based
on
what
the
board
of
supervisors
in
an
innovation
zone
does
versus
what
story
county
would
have,
while
state
law
would
be
the
same
regardless.
F
There's
a
whole
lot
of
those
things
that
that
don't
rise
to
the
state
level
and
local
jurisdiction,
including
the
innovation
zone,
where
there
could
be
a
lot
of
confusion,
a
lot
of
issues
back
and
forth.
While
story
county
is
still
providing
services
to
the
innovation
zone.
But
yet
they
have
already
empaneled
the
board
of
supervisors,
who
is
now
creating
their
own
ordinance
and
rules
and
regulations.
F
So
those
those
are
all
concerns
to
the
sheriff's
office
and
well
well,
not
specific
necessarily
to
the
sheriff's
office
function,
but
because
I,
like
all
of
you,
have
taken
an
oath
to
uphold
and
protect
defend
the
constitution
of
our
state
and
the
united
states.
I
have
to
point
out
that
in
the
language
of
the
bdr
that
the
legislature
would
be
abdicating
its
own
authority
to
the
innovation
zone
board
of
supervisors,
where
section
32
of
the
nevada
constitution
gives
the
legislature
the
power
to
increase,
diminish,
consolidate
or
abolish
county
offices.
F
You
know
by
by
allowing
the
innovation
zone
to
do
that,
you're,
giving
away
the
constitutional
authority
of
the
legislature
and
you're
giving
them
more
power
than
even
what
a
newly
elected
board
of
county
commissioners
have
right
now.
If
our
county
commissioners
want
to
combine
decrease,
diminish,
do
away
with,
they
have
to
go
to
you
folks,
down
there
in
carson
city
and
say
hey.
This
is
why
we
want
to
do
it:
you're,
empowering
the
board
of
supervisors
with
constitutional
authority,
that's
vested
with
the
legislature.
F
E
All
right,
thank
you.
I
think
what
we'll
do
is
hear
from
the
story:
county
fire
district
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
any
questions
that
members
have
about
public
safety.
G
Hi
good
morning,
members
of
the
committee,
I'd
like
to
personally
thank
madam
chair
and
the
members
of
the
committee
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
for
the
record.
I'm
jeremy
long
carmen
fire
chief
for
story,
county
fire
protection
district,
and
I
know,
as
just
stated
earlier,
that
through
more
and
more
presentations,
more
questions
arise
and
unfortunately,
I'm
just
going
to
add
to
that
list,
because
I
have
quite
a
few
questions
and
concerns
of
my
own
I'll
start
by
saying
throughout
the
year
story.
G
County
fire
protection
district
has
already
made
vast
changes
to
keep
up
with
the
growth
and
innovation.
Currently
within
story
county,
we
pride
ourselves
in
ensuring
that
our
staff
is
properly
trained
to
mitigate
all
emergencies.
That
may
arise
from
all
the
unique
businesses
we
have
within
the
county,
as
well
as
our
historical
side
of
virginia
city.
G
We
pride
ourselves
on
working
closely
with
developers
and
companies
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
appropriate
equipment,
staffing
and
code
compliant
buildings
for
the
safety
of
their
workers,
visitors
and
my
staff
working
within
the
traditional
means
of
development
that
story
county
currently
conducts.
We
continue
to
make
safe
buildings
safe
communities
and
ensure
that
each
district
is
adequately
covered
with
fire
stations,
equipment
and
personnel
with
a
separate
government
such
as
what
is
proposed
within
the
concept
of
the
innovation
zone,
we're
presented
with
numerous
concerns.
G
G
G
What
happens
to
my
staff
that
I
hire
to
man
that
station
that's
going
to
protect
the
innovation
zone
with
staffing
alone,
it's
hard
to
find
qualified
people,
so
we
take
in
a
lot
of
people,
we
train
them.
We
make
very
hefty
investments
in
our
folks
to
make
sure
they're
safe
and
they
can
do
their
job.
Officially,
what's
going
to
happen
to
these
people
are
the
buildings
going
to
be
built
to
code?
G
You
know,
but
not
also
just
code,
but
with
operational
concerns
addressed
as
most
you
know,
fire
codes
are
generally
written
in
blood.
It's
through
tragedy,
they're
created
and
just
like
the
statement
earlier
about
the
road
width,
there's
a
reason
why
we
need
26
foot
for
a
ladder
truck
and
there's
a
reason
why
we
continue
to
insist
that
we
have
26
foot
because
story.
County
alone
cannot
take
care
of
some
of
the
emergencies
within
our
county.
G
G
These
are
just
a
couple
of
concerns.
We
have
with
this
untraditional
approach
to
development,
while
story
county
fire
protection
district
openly
welcomes
residential
commercial
and
industrial
development
within
our
county.
The
separation
of
government
and
concepts
stated
pose
serious
public
safety
concerns.
G
First,
it
is
financially
irresponsible
for
me
to
use
story,
county
fire
protection,
district
money
to
make
large
capital
infrastructure
investments
in
the
innovation
zone
and
possibly
lose
them,
but
it's
also
morally
and
legally
wrong
for
me
not
to
provide
these
services
to
anyone
within
the
county.
This
puts
us
within
a
unique
and
awkward
position.
G
We
also
have
some
concerns
about
liability
issues.
As
some
of
these
functions
of
government
get
shifted
over
who
would
dispatch
us
to
the
innovation
zone,
you
know:
are
we
going
to
have
our
law
enforcement
partners
with
us
on
emergencies,
and
those
partners
are
the
ones
we
train
with
we
work
with.
We
know
them
by
first
name
basis
and
we
rely
on
them.
G
G
These
concerns
merely
scratch
the
surface
of
potential
problems.
Faced
with
the
separate
government,
we
have
a
system
in
place,
it's
dynamic,
it's
innovative,
it's
successful
and
it's
proven
tri-center
would
not
exist
if
forward-thinking
ideas
were
not
applied
within
this
county.
We're
successful
and
welcome
world
tech
leaders
to
our
county
through
our
existing
process.
G
G
E
E
All
right
seeing
none
again,
thank
you
for
providing
those
comments
to
us,
and
with
that
I
see
the
chair
is
back,
so
I
will
turn
the
gavel
back
over
to
madam
chair.
B
Thank
you
so
much
assemblyman
once
I
appreciate
that.
I
believe
we
are
on
enough,
which
would
be
the
impact
on
k-12
schools.
We
have
superintendent
hess
with
us.
H
H
Chair
and
thank
you
for
filling
in
assemblyman
watts,
I'm
sitting
with
kristen
chandler
our
business
manager
for
story,
county
school
district.
H
My
name
is
todd
hass
superintendent
of
story,
county
school
district,
it's
always
great
to
be
put
nearly
last
on
the
agenda
of
an
all-day
meeting.
So
I
immediately
and
jokingly
blamed
mr
peternot
for
that
one
and
I'll
start
by
saying
that
I'm
proudly
a
sixth
generation
nevadan
every
single
one
of
those
in
story
county.
H
I
believe
in
the
county,
we're
very
proud
of
trek,
the
tahoe
reno
industrial
center
and
what
the
leading
edge
companies
have
quickly
become
attracted
to
also
very
proud
of
our
story:
county
leadership
currently
and
in
the
past.
That
includes
my
brother
bond,
who
is,
commissioner,
when
the
park
was
literally
in
its
infant
infancy,
the
people
that
had
the
park
at
the
time
lance
gilman
and
roger
norman
who
started
it?
You
know
they
both
told
me
over
and
over
that
it
was
story,
county's,
speed
and
versatility.
H
That
is
the
major
attractant
for
these
companies
within
story
county.
I'm
also
very
excited
for
the
tremendous
vision
and
optimism
of
blockchains,
not
only
for
story
county,
but
what
the
future,
including
really
the
future
of
mankind,
could
be.
I'm
honestly
asked
about
this
subject
quite
a
lot,
so
I'm
here
not
to
only
address
school
board
and
community
concerns
about
the
effect
of
the
proposed
innovation
zone
on
story
county,
but
also
is
to
get
educated
on
the
matter
as
I
can
so
I
can
communicate
that
best
with
the
good
folks
here
in
the
county.
H
I
can
say
that
I
had
a
direct
seat
during
the
development
of
story,
county's
recent
master
plan.
I
think
it
took
about
seven
years
to
fully
develop
that
plan.
County
manager.
Austin
osborne
is
the
one
that
took
care
of
that.
It
was
approved
by
our
school
board
and
then
got
the
final
stamp
by
the
story:
county
board
of
commissioners.
H
That
plan
has
the
current
largest
available
residential
zone
of
around
2
100
acres
in
painted
rock
I'm
sure.
Austin
will
talk
about
that
a
bit
more
so
specifically
relating
to
the
functions
of
schools
with
within
the
innovation
zone.
My
probably
rhetorical
questions
at
this
point
would
be
as
follows,
and
you
know
they're
pretty
similar
to
what
sheriff
antonoro
and
fire
chief
long
car
hit
on
senator
settlemyre
also
referenced
some
of
this
as
well.
But
what
would
be
the
financial
obligation
for
story
county
school
district?
Initially,
this
would
require
approval
approval
from
our
school
board.
H
H
We'd
also
have
they
would
also
have
to
transport
and
we'd
also
increase
district
office
personnel.
So
my
question
is:
if
we
enter
into
contracts,
attract,
retain
and
get
these
people
enter
into
contract
with
them.
What
would
happen
if
there
was
an
agreement
with
a
different
district?
They
are
good,
neighbors
lion
or
washoe.
Potentially
a
charter,
or
maybe
a
hybrid
model
of
some
sort,
comes
in.
What
would
happen
to
these
people?
H
In
closing,
these
are
some
of
the
initial
questions
and
concerns
regarding
school
operations
that
we
have
within
story
county
then
potentially
transferred
to
the
innovation
zone.
I
sincerely
appreciate
the
time,
thoughtfulness
and
effort
by
any
by
everyone
on
this
joint
special
committee.
I
believe
as
again
as
a
as
a
lifelong
story,
county
resident.
It's
a
true
compliment
to
all
of
you
and
your
leadership
skills
to
have
been
appointed
to
this
and
sincerely.
H
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
at
this
time.
Any
questions
for
superintendent
hess
from
committee
members.
B
B
I
believe
we
have
mr
osborne
queued
up
our
story:
county
manager,
along
with
jennifer,
mccain,
the
comptroller
and
then
mr
hess
up
to
bat
a
second
time.
I
guess,
with
conversations
again
or
more
of
a,
I
guess,
economic
side
of
story,
county
or
you'll
just
be
on
hand
to
answer
questions.
I
guess
mr
hesser
you'll.
Let
us
know
mr
osborne.
D
D
If
you
want
I'll
give
you
all
a
moment
to
find
that
document,
and
let
me
know
when
you
feel
you
would
like
me
to
get
started.
D
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
today.
I'm
gonna
point
us
to
our
second
slide
number
two,
I'm
gonna
move
this
over
here,
so
I
can
see
that-
and
this
is
really
what
we're
here
to
discuss
today.
These
are
the
objectives
for
this
presentation
and
I'm
going
to
read
them
verbatim,
but
I'm
not
going
to
do
a
lot
of
that
in
this
presentation
for
number
one.
D
It's
really
just
to
talk
about
story,
county's
transition
from
what
it
was
in
the
past
to
an
economic
leader
today
and
number
two
is
how
the
tribe
development
agreement
was
created
and
how
it
promoted.
Innovation,
development
and
number
three
is
how
development
agreements
can
facilitate
innovation,
development
now
and
in
the
future,
with
other
groups
and
people.
D
Number
four
is
story:
county's
planning
in
preparation
for
residential
development
at
painted
rock
and
then
how
economic
and
social,
environmental
and
life
safety
systems
can
be
best
served
by
local
government
and
then
one
one
last
thing
that
commissioner
mitchell
made
a
point
of-
and
I
want
to
remind
us
of
probably
one
of
the
most
important
things
as
far
as
we
are
concerned-
is
we're
not
opponents
of
what
is
being
presented
here
as
far
as
development
on
the
residential
side
or
the
innovative
technology
side?
And
that's
what
kind
of
makes
this
whole
thing
perplexing?
D
Is
we
like
and
embrace
what
they
want
to
do?
We
think
this
is
great.
This
is
completely
dovetailed
into
what
we
do
here
in
story
county
and
what
we
have
here
coming
up
will
hopefully
answer
questions
you
might
have
in
that
regard,
so
I'm
going
to
go
to
slide
number
three
and
I'm
going
to
hold
up
a
couple
maps
just
to
make
sure
kind
of
the
point
is
made
on
this,
so
this
one
here
is
in
front
of
you
and
really
what
we're
dealing
with
right
now
is
innovation
zone
number
one.
D
This
is
a
statewide
matter.
It
isn't
just
a
story
county
matter
and
just
want
to
remind
us
that
this
is
something
that
can
affect
us
all
and
that
the
first
one,
of
course,
is
most
important
is
here
in
story
county,
because
that
is
the
first
proposal
and
then
the
second
map
here
that
I
have
in
the
presentation
really
is
only
intended
to
do.
D
One
thing
is
the
map
on
the
right
with
all
of
the
yellow
lines,
that's
about
to
the
area,
roughly,
that
covers
the
innovation
zone
in
story
county
and
then
the
overlay
on
top
of
reno
and
sparks
really
is
only
provided
to
provide
scale.
It's
not
necessarily
to
say
this
is
going
to
happen
in
reno,
or
anything
like
that.
Just
to
kind
of
show
you
here
to
take
acre
by
acre
approximately
how
big
it
would
be
in
the
neighboring
community
and
then
because
we
have
folks
from
the
south
with
us.
D
On
the
next
one
is
a
fiscal
snapshot.
We
want
to
provide
you
all
just
a
little
bit
about
how
big
story
county
is
fiscally
as
far
as
revenues,
expenditures
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
abatements
too,
and
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
pass
the
torch
over
to
comptroller
jennifer
mccain.
She
would
be
happy
to
walk
through
the
next
couple,
slides
with
you
in
that.
I
I'm
mute
good
afternoon,
madam
chairman.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
give
you
a
small
example
of
what
story:
county's
revenues
and
expenses
look
like
on
slide.
Seven.
What
you
see
before
you
is
the
2020
audited,
a
simple
pie,
chart
of
where
our
revenues
are.
As
you
can
see,
a
major
component
of
our
county's
revenue
is
property
tax,
both
residential
and
commercial.
I
If
we
move
on
to
the
next
slide
the
expenses
taking
into
account
that
2020
was
the
crazy
year
that
the
pandemic
fell
on
us,
our
revenues
are
slightly
higher,
as
you
can
see
than
our
expenses,
because
we
did
scale
back
quite
a
lot
to
make
sure
not
knowing
what
was
going
to
happen
during
that
time.
I
I
If
we
move
on
to
page
eight
the
abatement
slide,
this
gives
you
a
little
example
of
the
kind
of
money
that
has
been
abated
over
the
last
few
years.
The
cumulative
abatements
are
from
2008
to
2019,
and
these
have
been
prepared
and
presented
by
edon
and
goad
to
show
the
kind
of
abatements
that
go
across
the
state
for
properties
within
story
county
as
well.
The
lower
portion
is
the
2020
abatements
that
are
a
picture
of
just
one
year
from
our
audits,
and
with
that,
that's
all
I
have,
unless
you
have
any
questions.
D
So
then
I'm
going
to
take
us
I'm
going
to
continue
on
and
we're
on
slide
number
10
at
this
point,
and
the
title
should
be
business
background
and
there's
going
to
be
a
minor
amendment
on
this.
It
says
1999
to
2000.
It
should
be
1990
to
2000.
So
this
is
we're
not
going
back
to
the
days
of
the
comstock,
but
we're
going
back
to
kind
of
the
modern
history
of
story.
D
County
and
brief,
and
really
what's
important
here
is
from
1990
to
2000
was
a
period
of
time
when
story
county,
as
well
as
northern
nevada,
had
experienced
a
significant
shift
in
its
economy.
Northern
nevada
had
seen
a
shift
in
gaming
to
other
organizations
and
jurisdictions
across
the
united
states
and
reno,
and
las
vegas
were
hit
very
hard,
as
those
who've
lived
here
for
quite
some
time
remember:
story:
county
in
virginia
city
got
overflow
tourism
from
that
gaming
industry.
D
We
believe
the
majority
of
the
folks
that
came
up
here
were
people
that
were
visiting
reno
tahoe
and
they
would
come
up
for
a
day
trip
to
this
area
and
really
our
economy
up.
Here
was
day
tourism.
It
was
seasonal,
it
was
volatile,
but
it
was
just
enough
to
keep
the
county
going
at
the
time
we
had
roughly
six
to
800
people
depending
on
what
year
you
look
at,
and
then
there
was
a
major
part
of
story.
D
County's
past
at
the
time
was
the
joke
and
40
brothels,
and
you
can
look
at
the
history
of
it.
It's
quite
interesting
but,
as
you
know,
in
the
90s
joke
and
40
left
the
country
in
seeking
asylum
in
brazil
and
with
them
came
a
significant
amount
of
tax
dollars
that
the
county
relied
on
at
the
time,
and
that
was
it.
There
was
nothing
else.
There
was
some
agriculture,
and
that
was
it,
maybe
a
small
amount
of
mining
and
so
the
county.
D
During
that
time,
I
was
not
paying
its
bills,
it
was
in
the
red
and
it
was
being
considered
to
be
carved
up
by
the
nevada
state
legislature.
The
legislature
around
2000
was
already
looking
at
carving
up
the
school
district
and
the
kids
were
going
to
be
sent
to
reno
or
washoe
county
lyon,
county
and
even
carson
city,
and
then
the
county
as
a
whole
was
also
being
on
the
chopping
block.
For
the
same
now,
we
were
not
the
only
county
in
this
situation.
D
Other
rural
counties
in
the
state
were
enduring
the
same
problem,
so
the
county
had
to
do
something
about
this.
It
was
either
lose
the
county
or
come
up
with
something
interesting
and
there's
some
interesting
things
that
happen
at
this
time,
I'm
going
to
go
to
slide
number
12,
and
this
should
be
titled
regional
decline
and
transition.
D
So
on
this
one,
I'm
going
to
show
another
map.
So
here
we
all
know
what
this
picture
is:
we've
seen
it
similarly,
but
this
was
the
old
azamara
ranch.
It
was
roughly
107
000
acres,
a
lot
of
it's
mountainous,
some
of
it's
flat,
but
that
land
was
for
sale
at
the
time
and
there
was
discussion
about
what
maybe
we
could
do
to
diversify
the
economy
of
story
county
and
happened
to
be
about
the
same
time
that
roger
norman
and
lance
gilman
came
to
town,
and
this
was
right
around
the
time
they
were
finishing
up.
D
The
south
meadows
reno
planned
unit
development
that
some
people
or
some
of
us
may
live
in
today.
D
Well,
roger
and
lance
were
finishing
up
that
project
and
story
county
was
looking
at
a
new
way
to
invent
itself,
there's
a
third
person
involved,
and
it
was
our
building
official
dean
haymore
at
the
time
that
the
county
commissioners
kind
of
sent
him
on
a
journey
to
find
a
way
to
reinvent
story.
County
and
all
these
three
pieces
seem
to
come
together
right
at
the
right
time,
and
the
folks
got
together
and
roger
had
purchased
the
azimura
ranch,
and
there
was
some
talk
at
the
time
of
creating
a
hummer
test
park.
D
There
was
discussion
about
maybe
a
wildlife
refuge.
These
are
things
I
remember
reading
in
the
paper
myself
up
here,
not
really
knowing
the
dynamic
that
was
going
on
in
that
area,
and
then
there
was
a
discussion
with
dean
haymore
about
maybe
creating
some
kind
of
an
industrial
park
along
the
interstate
80
corridor.
What
would
be
a
better
place
to
do
than
out
there?
D
So
a
lot
of
things
happened
during
that
time
and
the
county
commissioners
had
tasked
dean
with
creating
a
master
plan
and
a
zoning
ordinance
county
didn't
have
any
staff
didn't
have
any
resources,
so
dean
went
to
the
university
of
nevada
reno
and
got
students
to
put
together
these
documents,
and
every
student
took
an
area
and
created
something
in
the
county.
Commission
approved
it
and
put
together
a
planning
commission
to
review
it
as
well,
and
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
slide
number
14.
D
And
this
is
an
important
slide.
This
was
before
tahoe
reno
industrial
center,
the
annexed
or
the
development
agreement
was
created,
but
this
is
a
building.
This
is
calcan.
This
was
one
of
our
first,
it's
a
dog
food
factory
and
they
came
out
to
story
county
we're
recruited
by
lance
roger
and
with
dean,
as
maybe
hey,
let's
bring
a
company
out
here
and
let's
get
started
and
dean
haymore
was
driving
around
this
guy
in
the
back
of
an
old
police
car.
D
That's
what
story
county
had
you
know
pretty
much
bald
tires
and
really
rough
and
dean's
driving
this
guy
around
and
he
doesn't
realize
who's
in
the
back
seat
of
this
car
until
he
introduces
himself
as
forest
marsh
and
so
he's
got
forest
mars
and
the
owner
of
calcan
or
mars
calcan
at
the
time
driving
around
and
mars
falls
in
love
with
the
idea
of
creating
some
kind
of
industry
out
here,
buys
his
property
and
builds
his
facility.
D
The
slate
15
has
another
map
and
it's
pretty
much
the
asamera
ranch,
but
it
also
shows
some
other
detail,
so
it
shows
tri-center
in
blue
and
what
tri-center
is
is
in
blue
is
actually
the
area
that
is
the
tahoe
reno
industrial
center.
Today,
not
the
entire
yellow
area.
The
yellow
area
is
in
the
master
plan
as
designated
to
be
potentially
annexed
into
tri-center
and
become
tri-center,
but
most
of
it
or
very
much
of
it,
is
undevelopable.
It's
very
high
topography,
mountainous
canyons
things
like
that.
D
It
might
be
good
for
wind
energy
there's
some
other
ideas,
but
mostly
for
big
box,
employment
and
stuff.
Pretty
minimal
blockchains
does
own
the
property.
Now
they
bought
it
as
part
of
the
67
000
acre
purchase,
but
that
kind
of
gives
you
some
scale
here
of
what
the
industrial
center
is
in
respect
to
the
region,
as
opposed
to
kind
of
the
famous
map.
We
see
a
lot
and
then
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
painted
rock
up
there
in
the
corner.
That
blockchains
also
owns.
D
And
so
in
this
map
there
was
kind
of
a
discussion
that
had
come
between
roger
norman
and
the
county
commissioners
and
lance
and
dean
about
the
idea
of
how
do
we
create
this
industrial
park?
We
have
one
building
or
two,
but
how
do
we
do
something?
That's
really
revolutionary,
something
that's
innovative
and
something
that
is
a
little
different
than
what's
been
done
in
nevada
before,
and
so
they
created
a
private
public
partnership
and
what
they
did
initially
on
page
six
or
slide
number
six.
D
They
created
a
development
agreement
or
like
a
contract
between
the
county
and
between
roger
norman
and
what
they
did
is
roger
norman,
had
something
the
county
didn't
and
the
county
had.
Something
roger
did
not
roger
had
money
and
he
had
a
will
and
he
wanted
to
build
something
pretty
much
like
what
you
see
right
now
with
a
blockchain's
group.
They've
got
a
vision.
They
want
to
create
something
amazing
and
they're
coming
to
the
county,
looking
at
a
way
to
happen
and
the
county
had.
What
roger
did
not.
D
It
was
lots
of
land
and
lots
of
entitlements,
and
so
the
county
and
roger
got
together
and
said:
why
don't
we
create
something
where
roger
you
buy
the
land?
And
then
you
put
the
infrastructure
in
up
front
and
then
create
a
build
to
suit
environment.
Roger
says
yeah.
I
can
do
that
all
day
long,
but
what
kind
of
restrictions
are
there
going
to
be?
What
kind
of
things
are
going
to
prevent
me
from
being
successful?
D
Well,
the
county
commissioners
at
the
time
said
how
about
we
create
something
that
makes
that
nothing
and
what
the
county
had
was
give
roger
entitlements.
They
gave
him
a
zoning
ordinance
that
I'll
talk
about
in
a
minute,
1999
that's
frozen
for
50
years.
They
gave
him
a
insurance
that
okay,
you
put
the
infrastructure
in
up
front,
but
the
county
is
going
to
pay
you
back
for
that
infrastructure
over
50
years.
D
The
interest
will
be
zero,
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute,
but
roger
has
to
put
the
money
up
front,
but
he
gets
the
money
back
over
a
50-year
period
of
time.
There
were
some
other
things
like
why?
Don't
we
create
an
over-the-counter
commercial
zoning
ordinance
that
wasn't
something?
That's
typically
done,
but
it's
allowable
under
nrs
and
under
the
development
agreement.
Right
now
we
have
burger
king
taco
bell
studio.
D
Six
subway,
marriott
hotels
is
on
its
way
and
we
have
porta
subs
as
well
as
other
commercial
uses,
these
businesses
developed
on
industrial
zone
land
and
how
they
got
the
commercial
zoning
is.
They
came
to
me
as
the
planning
director
at
the
time
and
now
as
county
manager
with
my
staff,
and
they
ask
for
the
zoning
and
they
get
a
permit
right
over
the
top
of
the
counter.
That's
signed
off
by
tri-center
as
well
the
fastest
commercial
zoning
that
we
created
in
story.
D
D
So
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
next
slide
at
a
slide
17-
and
it
looks
like
this-
it's
a
simple
slide,
but
it's
an
important
slide.
These
are
really
kind
of
the
innovative
features
of
the
development
agreement
that
roger
norm
and
his
group
and
the
story
county
commissioners
approved
is
a
50-year
agreement
for
50
years.
Whatever
is
in
this
agreement
is
going
to
be
permanent,
and
so
what
that
means
is
all
the
infrastructure
is
provided
up
front
and
I'll
show
a
slide
here
in
a
minute.
D
What
that
looks
like,
but
the
county
is
going
to
pay
it
back
over
50-year
period
of
time.
It's
not
going
to
have
any
interest
associated
with
it.
So
that's
pretty
good
and
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
second
and
it's
going
to
be
a
build
to
suit
environment.
So
as
technology
changes
as
companies
changes
as
things
change
over
time
that
this
development
agreement
allows
for
that
to
occur,
and
we
have
only
changed
the
development
agreement
several
times.
That
was
an
agreement
between
story,
county
and
the
developer.
D
One
cannot
change
without
the
other
one
and
it
was
not
to
create
more
restrictions
over
time.
It
was
because
new
companies
that
come
in
new
things,
we
never
thought
of,
like
data
centers,
didn't
exist
in
1999
and
to
clarify
and
to
provide
more
entitlement
for
these
uses
to
come
that
exist
today.
The
next
thing
on
that
column
is
1999.
Zoning
is
frozen
as
well
as
the
1999
fees
in
story
county.
The
fees
for
special
use
permits
variances.
All
these
sorts
of
things
were
still
under
the
1999
numbers.
D
You
can
get
a
permit
in
this
county
for
100
bucks.
You
can
get
a
major
special
use
permit
for
the
highest
heaviest
level
of
industrial
development.
You
can
possibly
imagine
on
the
face
of
earth
for
2
500
bucks,
and
that
is
frozen
in
time
for
50
years.
That
cannot
change
without
agreement
between
both
of
the
parties
and
right
now,
neither
of
the
parties
are
asking
to
change
it,
because
it's
through
volume,
it's
like
walmart.
How
do
they
make
money?
How
does
amazon
make
money?
It's
through
volume?
D
We
don't
need
the
permit
fee,
we
bring
in
a
company,
we
have
a
competitive
advantage.
We
bring
in
property
tax
and
that
pays
for
whatever
it
took
us
to
bring
that
company
in
and
then
the
development
agreement
knew
about
water.
It
obviously
needs
to
be
managed
through
a
general
improvement
district
and
sewer,
but
one
of
the
things
I'm
proud
of
that
will
be
talked
about.
The
next
meeting
is
a
conservation
program
where
that
water
out
there
is
used
six
times
before
it,
either
evaporates
or
something
happens
to
it.
D
But
it's
used
again
and
again
and
again
that
folks,
like
sherry
whalen,
are
experts
at
we'll
talk
about
later,
I'm
going
to
go
to
slide
number
18.,
and
this
has
a
couple
important
images
on
it
and
the
one
on
the
middle
here.
These
are
all
of
the
roads.
All
of
this
spaghetti
are
the
roads
that
story
county
not
only
has
a
tri-center,
but
that
we
owe
money
on
there's
about
a
hundred
lane
miles
of
highway
out
there.
D
Four
lane
built
to
standards,
no,
not
all
four
lane
but
they're
all
built
to
county
standards
and
roger
norman,
built
those
roads
up
front
with
his
money.
And
then
we
pay
him
back
over
time.
There's
48
million
dollars
that
story
county
owes
back
to
roger
norman.
It's
in
the
30s
today,
because
we
have
been
making
payments
and
story
county
was
given
an
assurance.
They
said
roger
norman,
said
how
about
this.
D
I
won't
even
ask
for
the
first
payment
until
you
guys
make
about
5
million
bucks
and
we
so
we
could
get
ourselves
caught
up
to
be
able
to
catch
up
with
this
and
be
able
to
make
payments.
So
he
worked
with
us.
It
was
a
mutual
agreement
and
then
you
can
see
in
all
the
different
components
here.
Usa,
parkway
today,
the
nevada
department
of
transportation
owns
that
road,
but
story
county
still
owes
the
money
on
that
road.
We
are
still
in
debt
to
that
interstate
80
interchange.
D
That
is
what
the
usa
parkway
interchange
looks
like
from
ariel.
It's
not
just
a
diamond
interchange.
It
had
to
go
over
the
river,
the
railroad
interstate
80
through
other
types
of
land.
It
was
pretty
complex
and
then
we
got
fire
stations.
We
got
our
existing
fire
and
county
offices,
all
that
roger
norman
paid
up
front,
and
then
we
pay
them
back
over
time
and
part
of
those
payments.
I
said
they're
interest
free
and
their
50-year
agreements,
they're,
not
debt.
D
We
were
able
to
make
that
in
such
a
way
that
it
didn't
create
debt
or
cause
any
harm
to
the
county's
ability
to
bond
what
that
is.
It
means
that
we
pay
it
back
over
time,
but
it
doesn't
show
up
as
debt
because
it
is
not
debt.
It
is
paid
through
by
development
and
and
taxes
that
come
in
from
the
companies
we
create
out
there
and
then
so
you
know
how
that
works
is
80.
D
We
believe
it's
hard
to
tell
the
department
of
taxation
about
80
percent
of
the
sales
tax
and
sales
and
use
tax
that
comes
into
the
counties
attributed
to
tri-center.
That
is
what
tri-center
is
subject
to
for
payment
and
then
roger
gets
35
cents
on
the
dollar.
For
all
of
that
repayment,
I'm
going
to
go
to
page
19
now,
and
it
looks
like
this.
D
D
We
have
a
150
space
rv
park.
Coming
has
the
same
purpose:
it's
extended
stay.
We
have
a
90
room,
approximately
marriott
under
construction
right
now.
That's
exactly
the
statements
extended
stay,
there's
a
potential
hilton
and
there's
also
another
use
that
would
provide
60
to
100
spaces
with
a
daycare
and
other
types
of
uses
that
would
support
folks
living
out
there
at
an
extended
period
of
time,
not
as
permanent
residents.
D
I'm
not
going
to
spend
a
whole
long
time
talking
about
this,
but
later
I'll
talk
about
painted
rock
there's
a
perception
that
story
county
does
not
like
residential,
because
we
don't
want
residential
at
the
industrial
center.
The
development
agreement
doesn't
allow
industrial
within
the
annex,
portions
and
there's
reasons
for
that.
It's
not
a
place
to
live,
it's
a
place
of
intense
industry,
but
we
are
not
against
residential.
As
we'll
talk
about
in
a
bit,
I'm
going
to
go
to
page
20.
D
20
looks
like
this:
I'm
not
going
to
spend
a
whole
lot
of
time
on
this
page,
because
it's
pretty
simple.
This
is
how
we
bring
companies
in
this
is
our
entire
bureaucracy
right
here
companies
come
to
us,
they
come
to
me
or
they'll,
come
to
a
department
head
or
they'll,
come
to
a
commissioner
and
they'll
say
we
want
to
build
in
story
county
and
we
all
work
as
a
team
to
bring
them
in.
We
guarantee
a
five-day
permit
for
grading
in
30
days
for
building,
and
we
provide
24
7
accessibility.
D
To
give
you
an
example,
what
that
looks
like
in
order
to
bring
a
semiconductor
company
into
story
county,
our
community
development
director,
and
I
flew
to
taiwan
on
a
saturday
and
came
back
the
very
next
day
to
look
at
a
very
specialized
process
that
they
had
that
we
were
concerned
about
to
make
sure
we
could
respond
to.
We
found
out
that
we
could.
We
brought
that
company
in
and
they're
out
there
operating
now,
I'm
gonna
go
to
page
21..
D
This
is
one
of
my
favorite
slides,
it's
pretty
simple,
but
we
believe
this
had
something
to
do
with
tesla
coming
to
northern
nevada.
There
was
a
lot
of
talk
about
how
northern
nevada
can
do
things
that
arizona,
california
and
texas
could
not,
and
there
was
a
question
about
really
everybody's
saying
they
can
do
everything.
Can
you
really
do
it?
D
This
building
dean,
haymore
our
building
director
and
I
went
and
took
we
took
their
engineers
over
to
take
a
look
and,
and
they
went
into
the
building
looking
at
this
finished,
concrete
being
done
and
they're
putting
in
the
interior
improvements
into
the
building
like
yeah.
That's
really
nice.
On
the
other
side
of
the
building,
where
you
see
right
now,
they
were
blasting
the
side
of
the
mountain.
D
At
the
same
time,
they
were
doing
finish,
work
at
the
other
end
of
the
building,
and
that
was
one
of
the
things
the
engineer
said:
that's
proof
in
the
pudding
right
there,
if
you
blast
the
side
of
a
mountain
and
build
on
the
other
one.
At
the
same
concurrent
time,
we
know
you
can
bring
our
company
in
I'm
going
to
go
to
page
22.,
and
this
one
is
real
simple.
It's
just
a
list
of
innovative
companies
that
we've
brought
in
to
story
county.
D
D
D
You
can
see
that
story,
county
jobs
that
we're
bringing
to
the
region
are
high,
paying
jobs
in
their
high-tech
jobs
and
the
second
column
you
can
see
through
management
that
we're
bringing
in
management,
tech,
math
engineering
and
those
types
of
jobs
at
a
very
high
rate,
and
the
next
slide
24
looks
like
this
and
it's
real
simple.
It
just
shows
story,
county's
growth
of
jobs
compared
to
the
state.
It
shows
that
we
are
an
attractor
of
jobs.
D
This
came
right
out
of
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development
in
two
thousand
eighteen,
it
says
the
operations
of
the
gigafactory
have
created
significant
economic
benefits
for
washoe
and
story
county.
The
gigafactory
has
not
only
created
close
to
seventy
six
hundred
job
or
seven
thousand
sixty
new
jobs,
but
there's
also
generated
significant
regional
economic
growth
based
on
primary
and
secondary
demand
for
local
vendors
and
employee
spending.
This
is
going
to
be
a
segue
to
the
next
slide
and
that
next
slide
looks
like
this,
and
it's
really
the
direct
output
and
the
multiplier
output.
D
That's
happening
only
at
the
gigafactory
alone.
Instead
of
coming
up
with
our
own
numbers
through
our
consultants,
which
we
could
do,
we
thought
it
might
be
best
just
to
show
what
goet
has
already
ported
in
2018
for
their
their
gigafactory
report
and
in
the
first
column
it
shows
that
there's
7
000
employees
brought
into
the
gigafactory
as
permanent
factory
type
of
work.
Employees
that
has
resulted
in
379
million
dollars
in
payroll
has
resulted
in
2.2
billion
dollars
annually
and
total
output
and
over
20-year
period
is
101
billion
dollars.
D
But
this
is
not
to
story
county.
Most
of
this
is
actually
occurring
in
reno
sparks
in
washoe
as
people
where
they
live.
That's
where
they
go
to
the
movies
they
buy
their
groceries,
they
buy
their
fords
and
chevys.
They
do
all
of
their
commercial
purchases.
Those
things
are
happening
there.
They
probably
will
buy
a
subway
sandwich
and
a
tank
of
gas
in
story
county
and
we're
perfectly
fine
with
that.
But
most
of
that's
occurring
in
the
region
and
on
the
right
column
is
the
total
multiplier.
This
is
everybody.
D
This
is,
if
you
take
the
jobs
and
then
you
take
the
husbands
and
wives
and
aunts
and
kids,
and
then
you
take
all
the
people
that
had
to
come
to
the
region
to
service
them,
the
people
that
are
at
the
grocery
stores
or
whatever
car
dealers,
whatever
you
want
to
name
it
15
000
people
associated
with
that
and
845
million
annual
test,
total
payroll
and
total
output
3.5
billion
dollars.
Again,
these
are
reports
right
out
of
goed
for
2018.
D
They
don't
account
for
the
actual
number
of
employees
associated
with
the
gigafactory,
but
those
that
were
at
the
base
level
and
we're
just
going
to
leave
it
at
the
base
level.
For
this
conversation,
the
next
slide
looks
like
this,
and
this
one
here
is
just
regional
tax
money
that
has
come
in
again
from
the
goed
report.
2018,
it's
the
regio.
D
The
the
washoe
municipal
service
area,
which
does
include
a
story
of
course,
reno
sparks
washoe
and
story,
29
million
dollars
annually
and
then
indirect
tax
revenues
to
the
state,
12
million
dollars,
58
million
total-
if
you
include
other
things
that
are
not
necessarily
listed
in
that-
and
the
most
important
thing
is
generated
at
the
full
unabated
rate.
The
idea
is
that
on
or
that
abated
sales,
tax
dollar
ends
up
an
employee's
pocket
and
turns
into
an
unabated
sales
tax
dollar.
D
When
that
item
is
bought
in
our
region,
next,
I'm
going
to
go
to
page
14..
Actually,
it's
slide.
28
looks
like
this
and
it's
pretty
simple,
but
I,
like
the
graphic,
that's
on
the
right
or
your
your
left.
What's
important
about
this
slide
is
the
careers
that
we
brought.
We
have
17
000
people
we
brought
to
the
region
with
jobs,
there's
250
approximately
thousand
jobs
in
the
region
and
the
businesses
that
we
have
brought
since
the
1980s
are
businesses
that
washoe
county
sent
our
way.
D
They
include
the
regional
lockwood
landfill
one
of
the
largest
in
the
world
or
at
least
in
the
country,
lithium
manufacturing
power
plants,
weapons
manufacturing,
diesel
manufacturing.
These
were
companies
that
were
brought
to
us.
Reno
didn't
want
them
sparks,
didn't
want
them,
washoe
didn't
want
them,
they
weren't
quite
compatible
with
what
they
got
going
on
over
there.
D
So
we
took
them
in
and
then
now
we're
bringing
in
high-tech
businesses,
such
as
the
data
centers
and
the
the
tech
in
the
r
d
and
the
research
and
development
and
those
sorts
of
things,
and
my
kind
of
what
I
like
to
say
here
is
this
meeting
as
we're
have
right
now
is
brought
to
you
by
the
electricity
that
is
provided
by
the
800
megawatt
power
plant
located
in
story
county.
D
So
you
can
see
that
that
power
plant
is
working
quite
well,
as
our
meeting
has
been
working
quite
well
and
then
the
picture
that's
on
the
right
here
you
see
a
picture
of
old
reno
and
I'm
from
here,
and
I
love
old
reno,
but
we
certainly
have
grown
grown
a
long
way
and
then
you
see
an
industrial
building
at
the
bottom.
What
the
point
of
that
slide
is
is
when
I
went
to
school,
you
either
went
to
unr
or
you
went
into
construction
or
you
went
into
the
casino
industry
or
you
left
the
state.
D
That
was
pretty
much
the
extent
of
the
career
opportunities
for
my
generation
growing
up
in
nevada
and
what
has
happened
now-
and
this
is
all
of
us-
it
isn't
just
us
we're
all
part
of
this.
Is
we
have
diversified
northern
nevada's
economy
to
where
now
you
can
actually
raise
your
kids
here
and
they
can
grow
up
and
go
into
tech
industries.
They
can
go
into
different
types
of.
You
know,
skilled
craftsmanship
type
of
work.
D
G
G
These
are
things
that
have
taken
many
many
years
to
put
together
to
show
regionally
how
we
work
with
all
of
our
partners
and
to
highlight
some
of
the
fire
and
ems
agreements
is
just
within
the
area
in
which
the
blockchains
proposed
in
the
innovation
zone.
We
currently
have
six
agreements
with
the
neighbors
who
who
do
respond
out
there
and
assist
us
and
as
well,
we
assist
them
all
of
these
agreements
again
have
just
taken
a
lot
of
time
and
work,
and
it's
us
working
as
a
united
front.
G
So
I
did
mention
earlier
in
my
testimony
that
little
story
county
can't
handle
a
lot
of
the
bigger
incidents,
nor
can
lyon
county
and
the
two
districts
or
three
districts
that
are
within
lyon,
county
or
our
neighbors.
So
we
rely
on
each
other
a
lot
and
that's
why
we
do
things
similar.
We
put
into
place
these
agreements
that
either
a
will
will
show
up
if
you
call
for
us
or
like
what
we
have
with
washoe
county
and
truckee
meadows
fire
protection
district.
G
Is
we
have
an
automatic
aid
agreement
so
knowing
that
their
fire
stations
are
quite
quite
a
drive
from
an
incident
that
may
happen
on
the
I-80
corridor?
We
just
take
that
call
for
them.
We
do
that
without
charge
and
under
an
agreement
as
being
a
good
neighbor
and
a
partner
within
northwestern
nevada.
G
It
goes
far
deeper
and
a
lot
of
these
you
know
I
can't
give
you
specifics
on.
But
again
I
just
want
to
reiterate
the
work
that
story
county
has
put
together
over
years
and
to
keep
up
with
the
growth
and
the
development
of
tri
and
as
well
as
our
neighbors
and
how
we
work
together
just
to
solve
the
problem
at
this
time,
I'll
get
back
to
county
manager,
austin
oswald,.
D
Thank
you.
Fire
chief
lunkar
appreciate
that
and
a
couple
other
items
on
this
slide
that
we're
regionally
cooperating
with
working
with
all
kinds
of
folks
in
carson
city
and
washoe,
reno
sparks
and
lyon
county
is
flood
mitigation
in
our
communities.
I'll
talk
about
the
affluent
pipeline.
In
a
moment,
youth
services,
water
services,
indigent
care
health
coalition
with
the
quad
counties,
coveted
response,
for
example,
lands
bills.
We
are
supporting
the
washoe
county
lands
bills
for
economic
development
sparks
wants
to
do
north
of
us.
That's
not
in
competition
with
us.
D
D
That
was
a
situation
so
the
title
of
the
slide
I'll
talk
about
here
in
a
minute
since
the
regional
cooperation,
washoe
county's
hundred
million
dollar
fluent
problem
became
a
regional
economic
generator.
It
really
is
the
truth.
Reno
sparks
washoe,
their
sewer
treatment
plant
was
not
complying
with
epa
standards
and
putting
nitrates
into
the
truckee
river.
I'm
not
putting
reno
sparks
washoe
down
for
this.
They
put
a
tremendous
amount
of
effort
and
care
in
trying
to
resolve
that
problem
over
the
years
and
they
certainly
took
it
seriously.
D
The
water
is
brought
over
to
industrial
uses,
the
companies
that
are
benefiting
from
that
put
the
money
up
front
to
build
the
facility,
the
fluent
pipeline,
and
then
what
happens
at
that
point.
It
brings
economic
development
to
story
county,
which
is
tax
dollars,
of
course,
and
a
portion
of
those
new
tax
dollars
then
are
returned
into
reimbursing
to
those
companies
for
the
affluent
pipeline.
D
D
What's
important
about
this
too,
is
then
tahoe
reno
industrial
center
donated
or
gave
water
upstream
that
it
had
owned,
which
is
clean,
water
and
then
reno
sparks
wash,
will
throw
a
complicated
agreement
with
ndot
can
put
that
water
back
into
the
truckee
river
to
meet
the
troller
requirements
for
water
being
exited
and
entering
back
into
the
river
it's
much
more
complex
than
that,
but
it
kind
of
gives
you
an
idea
for
regional
cooperation,
how
we
can
get
things
done
and
all
the
things
that
are
being
presented
today
through
innovations
or
our
development
can
be
done
through
this
kind
of
thinking,
I'm
going
to
turn
to
page
slide
or
31,
and
I'm
going
to
give
us
a
brief
discussion
about
residential
background,
and
this
is
really
where
we're
going
to
tie
into
the
innovation
zones
as
well
as
the
need
for
residences
in
northern
nevada.
D
So
the
first
map
here
this
is
a
simple
map.
This
is
just
the
story:
county
master
plan
areas,
all
those
areas
have
different
goals
and,
and
all
that
and
seven
of
these
areas
allow
for
residential
and
four
of
them
allow
for
major
residential
like
a
planned
unit.
Development.
Major
subdivision
type
of
thing,
four
of
them
allow
for
mixed-use
residential.
This
would
be
like
what
you
see
in
midtown
in
reno,
or
even
like
the
blockchains
proposal
for
very
mixed
use,
and
then
seven
of
them
allow
for
commercial
industrial.
D
The
next
slide
here
is
on
slide
33,
and
this
shows
inside
our
zoning
map.
The
areas
in
the
county
that
are
really
set
up
for
residential
and,
like
you
said
earlier,
you
can
see
virginia
city
is
about
1200
parcels.
The
highlands
is
really
a
very
rural
horse
type
of
property.
We're
never
going
to
propose
for
that
to
be
anything,
really
innovative,
it's
going
to
be
what
it
is.
Lockwood
is
a
thousand
people
now
it
is
set
up
for
potential
mixed
uses
and
those
sorts
of
residential
development.
D
Now
I'm
going
to
go
to
page
34.,
and
this
gives
you
an
idea
for
those
folks
that
aren't
from
here
where
painted
rock
is
in
relation
to
reno
sparks
and
fernley,
and
the
industrial
center,
and
there's
the
tesla
gigafactory
right
there
and
there's
a
potential
road
that
would
connect
painted
rock
into
the
industrial
center.
Ideally,
we
would
love
to
see
that
happen
and
not
have
any
dependence
on
interstate
80,
but
in
reality,
there'd
probably
be
some
dependence
on
interstate
80
regardless.
D
This
is
from
our
master
plan,
this
image,
that's
on
the
right
or
on
your
left.
So
this.
Actually
it's
not
our
image.
It
came
from
great
places
out
of
the
american
planning
association
and
that
was
put
into
our
master
plan
for
a
reason
that
was
to
describe
what
we
would
like
to
see
happen
out
of
painted
rock.
We
wanted
to
make
a
point
that
this
is
not
a
community
for
suburban
residential
development.
It's
not
a
place.
We
want
to
see
horse
properties
and
and
corral
fences
and
those
sorts
of
things.
D
We
wanted
to
see
a
mixed
use,
urban
kind
of
a
high
density
place
where
people
live,
they
work
they
play.
They
live
on
top
of
their
job,
those
sorts
of
things,
and
then
these
are
the
things
here
that
the
master
plan
has
and
its
goals
about
discouraging
urban
sprawl.
Creating
what
really
blockchains
is
presented
as
a
very
high,
dense
core
of
you
know
place
you
could
live
work
and
play
and
never
leave
we're.
Okay
with
that
and
it's
mixed
uses,
and
then
these
are
the
types
of
things
that
facilitate
rail.
They
facilitate.
D
You
know
multimodal
transit
and
all
these
modern
types
of
development
technique
techniques
this
slide
here.
This
is
blockchain's
their
smart
city.
This
came
right
out
of
their
website.
They
presented
it
before
and
the
point
of
this
is
it
fits
with
the
story
county
master
plan.
This
is
our
vision
for
painted
rock.
We
would
love
to
see
something
happen
like
this
in
our
community
and
through
the
proper,
normal
planning
means,
and
we
believe
that
that
can
happen
through
proper
normal
planning
means.
H
Thank
you
very
much
austin
and
madam
chair
for
the
record
todd
hess
superintendent
story,
county
school
district.
As
I
stated
a
little
bit
ago,
we
did
have
direct
involvement
with
the
master
plan.
I
think
it
took
austin
about
seven
years
to
develop
that
we
put
it
in
front
of
our
community
quite
a
few
times
in
regards
to
the
school
district
goals.
Side
of
thing,
one
of
the
things
that
we
really
emphasized
in
there
was
the
need
for
this
to
be
a
a
true
community
center.
H
So
not
only
do
we
have
you
know
all
of
our
k-12
programs
that
we
want
that
we
would
run
through
the
nevada
department
of
education
following
all
those
standards,
but
also
some
post-secondary
things.
We
do
a
lot
with
with
colleges,
including
truckee
meadows,
community
college.
H
I
just
talked
to
former
governor
sandoval
now,
president
of
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
about
beginning
a
dual
enrollment
program
here
in
story
county,
and
we
currently
have
a
really
strong
agreement
with
western
nevada
college
and
president
vincent
solis.
So
we
have
that
we
also
look
very
strongly
at
some
vocational
and
stem
programs
also
partnerships
within
the
park,
for
example.
H
You
know
health
and
life
insurance,
etc,
and
then
the
possibility
looking
at
bringing
in
charter
or
regional
magnet
school,
I
think,
would
be
intriguing
as
we
look
at
some
of
the
opportunities
within
the
park
and
they
again
make
that
hub
part
of
the
community
center
on
that
so
appreciate
the
input
it
was
approved
by
our
board,
and
then
I
believe
that
june
was
approved
by
the
story
county
commissioners
I'll
turn
it
back
to
austin.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
superintendent,
hess
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
may
I
continue
yes,
we're
coming
close
to
the
end
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
to
slide
number
38.
It
looks
like
this,
and
this
is
the
actual
master
plan
map
that
we
have
for
painted
rock
and
what's
important
in
that
it's
a
transition
area.
So
in
2006
this
project
had
come
to
story
county
and
wanted
to
get
a
plan
unit
development
mixed
use
out
there
and
they
got
approved.
D
They
were
approved
by
the
planning
commission
and
they
were
approved
by
the
county
commission
unanimously.
So
our
master
plan
in
2016
I
wanted
to
reflect
on
that
2006
approval.
The
reason
2006
approval
didn't
happen
is
because,
as
we're
all
aware,
in
2008
9
and
10,
we
win
an
economic
situation
that
made
the
project
unviable
at
the
time.
So
the
project
was
approved
in
l6.
It
reverted
back
to
the
prior
zoning,
but
then
the
master
plan
was
written
to
support
that
project
with
no
master
plan
map
needed
by
no
master
plan
text.
D
D
The
next
slide
here
this
is
slide.
39
looks
like
this,
so
this
slide
actually
comes
out
of
jeremy
aguero's
presentation
from
the
first
meeting
and
he
shows
a
75-year
build
period
for
the
project
and
what
they
want
to
do,
and
there
weren't
any
numbers
or
data
necessarily
associated
with
that.
But
the
image
is
good
enough
to
kind
of
get
a
ballpark
of
what
might
occur
and
using
best
planning
planning
principles,
and
you
know
whether
it's
financial
or
land
use
planning.
D
We
use
a
20-year
period
of
time
and
then
just
focus
on
that.
So
the
next
slide
is
on
page
40..
D
On
40.-
and
this
slide
here
builds
off
of
mr
aguero's
projections,
and
it
shows
what
would
happen
in
story
county
if
it
approved
painted
rock
planned
unit,
development
or
subdivision
based
on
what
he
had
provided.
You
can
see
right
now.
We
have
roughly
4
300
folks
and
then
over
a
20-year
period
would
go
up
to
11
000..
This
number
here
is
consistent
with
his
numbers.
It's
also
consistent,
roughly
with
the
2006
approval
that
the
county
commissioners
was
willing
to
take
on
at
that
time
to
help
facilitate
development
of
this
project.
D
Is
that
no
master
plan
is
needed
for
texting
or
for
text
or
for
map,
and
we
really
recommend
just
simply
submit
an
application.
We
provided
an
outline
for
that
to
the
proponents
of
this
project
and
we've
also
provided
the
applications
and
materials
needed
and
then
for
the
last
slide.
Madam
chair,
if
you
were
okay
with
it,
I
would
ask
that
I
pass
over
to
commissioner
mitchell
for
a
closing
statement
on
this
presentation.
J
Great,
thank
you
so
much
austin
and
thank
you,
madam
chairwoman.
So
I
just
first
of
all,
I
want
to
apologize
that
we
took
so
much
of
your
time,
but
really
felt
like
it
was
important
to
allow
you
to
hear
from
a
broad
range
of
folks
that
deal
with
this
stuff
and
their
different
areas
of
expertise
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
and
so
just
to
summarize-
and
this
is
this
is
on
slide
number
43,
and
this
will
be
my
closing
remarks.
J
J
We
believe
strongly
that
the
tri
development
agreement
provides
a
successful
template
for
future
innovation
and
a
smart
city
development
and
it
protects
against
undue
government
interference.
It
gives
the
stability
and
it
gives
the
assurances
that
are
needed
to
allow
for
innovation,
proposed
parallel
government
structures.
J
We're
proven
leader
in
in
nevada,
in
economic
development,
technological
advancement
and
land
development.
J
The
economic
activity
that
happens
in
our
county
directly
and
indirectly
benefits
northern
nevada,
and
we
just
don't
feel
that
the
reasons
given
for
the
separatist
governance
piece
and
then
in
the
innovation
zone,
legislation
they're,
founded
in
a
way
that
is
compelling
enough
to
make
it
worth
going
through.
All
of
the
rigmarole
to
do
that.
The
last
slide
summarize
excuse
me.
Number
44
summarizes
some
recommendations
that
we
would
make
to
this
committee.
J
The
first
one
is
to
to
really
examine
in
detail
the
agreement
that
that
we
have
in
place
with
the
tolerant
industrial
center.
That
development
agreement
is
a
successful
example
of
a
public-private
partnership.
It's
used
in
stimulating
growth
and
preventing
undue
government
interference,
but
also
encourage
the
committee
to
direct
the
proponents
to
submit
an
application,
and
what
that
does
is
it
would
allow
us
to
help
vet
out
the
issues
and
work
through
them,
and
then
we
could
come
back
if
there's
something
that
can't
be
worked
out
with
us.
J
The
third
recommendation
that
we
have
is
to
apply
some
of
the
creative
practices
and
innovative
things
that
we've
done
here
in
story
county
to
other
parts
of
the
state
and
to
look
at
what
can
we
do?
Maybe
better
we're
not
we're
not
the
end
all
be
all,
but
maybe
we
take
that
and
build
off
of
it
and
find
ways
to
make
sure
that
the
same
diversification
and
economic
development
that
we've
seen
happens
elsewhere,
maybe
in
a
way
that
better
addresses
regional
impacts
and
the
last
one
that's
not
listed
on
this
slide.
J
But
it's
kind
of
a
personal
interest
of
mine
is,
I
feel
it's
important
to
delve
into
the
feasibility
of
the
contingent
tax
proposal,
the
stable
coin,
taxation
or
the
the
blockchain's
taxation
piece
and
the
reason
that
we
need
to
delve
into
that
is
because,
while
it's
not
in
this
proposed
legislation,
this
legislation
is
contingent
on
it
and-
and
I
don't
believe
that
it's
feasible
to
tax
blockchain's
transactions,
I'm
not
aware
of
anywhere
in
the
in
the
blockchain's
universe
that
that's
being
done,
and
that
may
just
be
my
insufficiency.
J
But
I
I
think
it's
problematic,
because
it
goes
against
the
ethos
of
a
distributed
ledger
and
so
not
necessarily
discussion
for
this
time,
but
certainly
something
that
I
would
welcome
further
discussion
on
because
I
think
it's
worth
delving
into,
because
that's
one
of
the
main
upsides
or
positives
to
the
proposal
and
with
that.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation
night.
My
goal
is
to
be
done
in
time
to
get
you
all
so
that
you
can
attend
your
county
commission
meeting.
Are
there
questions
from
the
members
on
the
presentation.
B
Okay,
I
have
I
have
just
a
a
couple
then,
if
I'm
looking
at
page,
I'm
looking
at
two
slides-
and
I
guess
they're
just
more
observation,
so
I
guess
I
won't
call
them
questions
at
this
point,
but
just
things
that
that
I'm
holding
in
my
in
my
mind
at
this
time,
I'm
looking,
I
want
to
look
at
slide
number
26.
B
On
number
26
and
then
27,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
highlighting
the
regional
economic
outputs,
the
one
specific
to
to
the
the
tesla
gigafactory
out
there.
I
think
that's
slide,
26,
that's
specific
to
that,
and
then
the
tax
generation
to
washoe
and
story
county
and
and
once
again,
in
here
kind
of
looking
at
the
revenues
coming
in
spending
in
other
outputs.
And
then
I
think
these
are
and
my
tax
staff
might
remember.
B
B
If
this
is
based
on
that
the
actual
numbers
or
if
this
was
based
on
the
projections
that
we
thought
we
would
get
2018
on
those
impacts.
B
So
I'm
I'm
I'm
thinking
of
that,
and
then
I'm
I'm
also
thinking
about
how
this
plays
out
in
terms
of
other
impacts
that
we'll
talk
about
down
the
road,
one
of
them
being
not
and
not
specific
to
this
one
company
but
kind
of
specific
to
other
companies
that
might
be
in
the
tri-area
and
in
an
aggregate
for
those
who
don't
aren't
able
to
provide
health
insurance
to
their
employees.
And
so
the
state
picks
up
the
tab
on
the
health
insurance.
Because
we
you
know,
we
have
that
document
that
can
really.
B
We've
got
a
report
that
really
well
documents
the
actual
cost
to
the
state
and
what
that
is
of
the
you
know:
cost
estate
in
terms
of
medicaid
independence
coming
from
certain
areas.
So
I'm
just
holding
that
in
my
head,
I'm
also
holding
in
my
head
as
I
look
at
slide.
B
40
with
the
residential
growth
build
out-
and
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
questions
for
me-
is
whether
you
have
an
innovation
zone
or
not
just
thinking
and
being
cognizant
about
story,
county's
plan
for
residential
over
the
years,
because
I
see
that
within
2025,
you
want
to
add
about
200
more
residents
and
then
you
start
adding
a
couple
more
residents,
but
we
know
right
now
that
there's
you
know
we're
really
lopsided
between
the
number
of
residents
who
work
in
story
county
versus
number
residents
who
live
there,
meaning
that
the
number
of
residents
who
are
there's
employees
are
commuting
to
another
county
to
live
communing
to
counties
that
have
to
you
know,
have
had
to
build
additional
schools,
and
so
there's
always
that
that
benefit
which
is
good
and
the
region
has
transformed,
which
was
good.
B
That
was
an
absolute
intended
goal.
I
think
for
a
lot
of
folks
and
you
folks
have
had
a
wonderful
hand
in
it.
I
just
think
that
other
that
other
piece
is
talking
about.
Okay,
you
know
always
with
growth,
comes
the
questions
that
we're
having
now,
which
is
okay.
Well,
what
do
we
do
about
the
impacts
around
it?
What
do
we
do
around
housing
and
is
an
additional
200
housing
units
in
the
next
three
years
really
going
to
be
helpful
and
meaningful?
B
Then?
And
that's
regardless
of
whether
we
have
you
know
people
move
out
to
paint
iraq
regardless
if
it's
in
an
innovation
zone
or
not
right?
So
I
you
know
those
were
just
a
couple
of
questions,
things
that
I
was
holding
in
my
head
during
this
conversation
and
thank
you
so
much,
mr
