Neighbors advised Rainbolt to expect the legislative
task force to have to testify before the committee. Town
manager Scott Neilson is expected to finalize the mem-
bership of the task force and schedule a meeting within
the next few days. Additionally, Neilson has spoken to
Neighbors and Nevada State Senator Mike McGinnis
regarding appropriations, as well as collecting neces-
sary information from CCS N Associate Vice-President
Orlando Sandoval.

be happy to make a presentation to the board. Due to ho
designation as an unincorporated town, Pahrump is
eligible to participate as a member of this powerful

proximately $4,000 to belong. Neilson has worked
with a similar group in Utah and has found these
"organizations are a tremendous asset." Grady and the
league will make a presentation at the February 25
meeting.
