At the July 1 Pershing County Commission meeting, County Manager Kristin Gonzalez provided updates on ongoing projects and new opportunities for the county.
Gonzalez said she is excited about the upcoming county employee picnic. She said companies have donated raffle items and that the women organizing the event “are very motivated and excited.” She looks forward to seeing what they plan and how county employees will celebrate together.
Regarding economic development, Gonzalez is continuing to look into the 95 Area and plans to send her findings to the district attorney and the city attorney for review before bringing the matter to the commission or City Council. She also had a meeting scheduled for July 2 at 9 a.m. with Alterra Resources about a possible new geothermal project. Alterra will hold a town hall meeting July 23 at 5 p.m. at the community center.
Gonzalez also asked the commission to approve accepting a Charter of Freedom America 250 gift for Pershing County. The national program offers counties free engraved stainless-steel replicas of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Civil Rights Amendment. She said the only cost would be constructing the display. The pieces will arrive in crates, giving the county time to decide where and how to display them.
Gonzalez announced that the county tax roll was completed June 26 and praised the Music and Murals event as “a huge success.”
“The murals that the artists completed are just beautiful,” she said, describing the event as “a facelift that I think Lovelock needed.” She thanked everyone who helped.
Gonzalez said the county has been advertising the XXX position since early June and has not received any applications. She plans to expand the advertising effort until qualified candidates apply.
