22. Fire
Staff Summary: The Project will allow the Carson City Fire Department (“CCFD”) to reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire by reducing wildfire fuels on 850 acres in the Wildland Urban Interface (“WUI”) surrounding western Carson City by hand thinning, mechanical thinning and controlled burns. This treatment will significantly reduce hazardous fuels along the west side of Carson City, which is very susceptible to wildfire. The $30,000 local match obligation can be met by in-kind contribution.
Staff Summary: This grant will provide funding for the Carson City Hazardous Fuels Collection Project over a period of six years, which allows eligible homeowners to reserve a trailer or dumpster to be delivered to their homes for the disposal of vegetation that was previously removed to create a defensible space. Those trailers and dumpsters are then picked up by the Carson City Fire Department (“CCFD”) and taken to the landfill for disposal of the vegetation.

(Darren Schulz, dschulz@carson.org, Rick Cooley, rcooley@carson.org)
Staff Summary: This item is for the first reading of a proposed ordinance which, if enacted, will revise section 12.12.047 of the Carson City Municipal Code (“CCMC”) to increase the rates and fees charged for use of the Carson City sanitary landfill (“Landfill”). NRS 237.080 requires a business impact statement to be prepared whenever the governing body of a local government seeks to exercise legislative powers by adopting an ordinance or takes some action increasing fees to be paid, at least in substantial part, by businesses. The business impact statement finds that the proposed ordinance will not impose a direct and significant economic burden upon a business or directly restrict the formation, operation or expansion of a business.

(Darren Schulz, dschulz@carson.org, Rick Cooley, rcooley@carson.org)
Staff Summary: Minden directly provides trash collection services within its jurisdiction, then disposes of that collected refuse at the Landfill. Carson City has proposed changes to the rates and fees for Landfill use. Minden has requested a limited exception to those planned increases to allow it to phase in the City’s increased rates over a one-year period. The Agreement requires Minden to pay out-of-county rates like other such users, except that from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, Minden will pay $66.00 per ton for municipal solid waste (“MSW”) brought to the Landfill, instead of $74.00 per ton.
23.C For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding a proposed Interlocal Agreement (“Agreement”) between Carson City and the Town of Gardnerville (“Gardnerville”) to provide Gardnerville a discounted rate for one year to dispose of specified solid waste at the Carson City sanitary landfill (“Landfill”). (Darren Schulz, dschulz@carson.org, Rick Cooley, rcooley@carson.org)
Staff Summary: Gardnerville directly provides trash collection services within its jurisdiction, then disposes of that collected refuse at the Landfill. Carson City has proposed changes to the rates and fees for Landfill use. Gardnerville has requested a limited exception to those planned increases to allow it to phase in the City’s increased rates over a one-year period. The Agreement requires Gardnerville to pay out-of-county rates like other such users, except that from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, Gardnerville will pay $66.00 per ton for municipal solid waste (“MSW”) brought to the Landfill, instead of $74.00 per ton.
