Two major leadership roles and the future of the county golf course are on the line tomorrow. White Pine County Commissioners meet at 9:00 a.m. to interview finalists for the Human Resources and Finance Director positions. These hires come after a shakeup at the courthouse, following the recent firing of former Finance Director Kathy Workman and the resignation of the HR Director immediately prior to the firing. Two others have resigned from the Finance Department in the wake of the firing.
Also on the table: a plan to revive the commercial kitchen and bar at the county golf course. Commissioners will decide whether to start hunting for a new tenant to lease the space. Plus, a push from Commissioner Pat Robison to move future meetings back to the library to improve ADA accessibility. You can catch the whole meeting live right here on KELY."
White Pine County Sheriff’s deputies made one arrest and responded to a wide range of calls over the weekend.
On Sunday, 18-year-old Kodie A. Herring of Ely was arrested for domestic battery following a disturbance at a county residence. Bail was set at three thousand dollars. A separate report of a sex crime in the city remains under investigation.
Deputies also handled multiple reports of reckless driving on highways and city streets, with several cases referred to Nevada State Police. Welfare checks across the area found all individuals safe.
Other calls included a theft from a vehicle, a reported fight where those involved left before deputies arrived, harassment over social media, and juvenile-related incidents.
On April 4th, deputies determined bones found during excavation in downtown Ely were not a concern, and also investigated a reported online scam involving a dog ransom, which turned out to be fraudulent.
Additional calls included traffic hazards, minor accidents, alarms, and motorist assists.
