The Northern Nye County House Bill District Board of Trustees postponed its April 18, 2025, workshop and adjourned after members said verbal and written allegations from a prior meeting require a formal investigation, the workshop chair announced.
The chair made the announcement after the meeting opened and the public comment period. "I would like to postpone this workshop until a complete investigation can be conducted regarding the allegations that were made during public comment. So what I would like to do is postpone officially this meeting, this workshop, until we can get, some further council advice. Meeting is adjourned," the workshop chair said.
The announcement followed a public comment from Morris Carlisle, a resident, who raised concerns about county finances and reliance on mining revenue. "The only thing we can hope for is is mining revenue," Carlisle said, adding that Round Mountain may curtail operations and "they don't pay a dime to the county for it." Carlisle also said the county faces fiscal limits and urged pragmatic action.
An online participant, Gobind Cooper, identified themselves as present during the public comment period but made no substantive requests recorded in the audio transcript. A board member identified only as Horace thanked Carlisle after his remarks.
The meeting notice and agenda indicated a three-minute limit per public commenter; the transcript records that rule at the start of the public comment period. The chair's announcement made clear that no further action on agenda items would be taken at this workshop pending the investigation and additional council advice. No date for a follow-up meeting or additional details about the scope or timeline of the investigation were announced in the audio transcript.
Minutes or a formal written statement from the board would be required to confirm next steps, the transcript indicates; the chair directed staff to seek "further council advice" before rescheduling.
No formal votes or motions were recorded in the transcript excerpt; the sole formal outcome documented was the postponement and adjournment of the workshop.
