Board of Supervisors

Consent Agenda

All matters listed under the consent agenda are considered routine and may be acted upon by the Board of Supervisors with one action and without an extensive hearing. Any member of the Board or any citizen may request that an item be taken from the consent agenda, discussed and acted upon separately during this meeting. The Mayor, or the Mayor Pro-Tem, retains discretion in deciding whether or not an item will be pulled off the consent agenda.

4-1. Assessor

Action to approve the removal of a portion of the taxes from parcel number 004-091-18 (located at 201 S. Roop St.) from the 2006/07 Real Property Tax Roll per NRS 361.140 in the amount of $1,194.92.

Staff Summary: The Nevada Public Agency Insurance Pool leases a portion of their property to "for profit" entities, however, PRI (Pooling Resources Inc.) is occupying 28% of the building and they qualify for tax exemption as an educational corporation in accordance with NRS 361.140(a). This determination was made after the July 1st lien date and therefore, the percentage of the taxable property needs to be adjusted for the 2006/2007 tax year. The Assessor's office is asking that the additional portion that is exempt from taxation be removed from the 2006/07 tax roll and refunded.

4-2. Treasurer

Action to approve the reduction of the real property tax roll for property bought by the Carson City Airport Authority and the refunding of $3,842.15 in taxes already paid. Affected land was part of parcels 8-206-01, 8-206-02, 8-206-13, 8-206-04 and 8-206-05.

Staff Summary: Portions of five parcels (approximately 25 acres) were purchased by the Carson City Airport Authority on October 8, 2006. In order to split the original parcels, property taxes had to be paid for the entire tax year by the owner. The property tax amount paid for the remainder of the tax year on the property which became tax exempt was $3,842.15. The airport authority has paid the prior owner for this and has requested reimbursement.

4-3. Development Services

Action to rescind and cancel Ordinance #1992-63, a Water Line Reimbursement Agreement between Carson City and Iron Mountain Acquisition Company regarding Assessor=s Parcel Number 009-215-02, located at Shadow Valley Subdivision Phase I, Carson City, Nevada; which benefitted the owners of APNs: 009-214-04 at 1070 E.

Staff Summary: Staff is requesting that the Board of Supervisors approve the cancellation of the Water Line Reimbursement Agreement between Carson City and Iron Mountain Acquisition Company.

4-4. City Manager

Action to approve an agreement with the Carson City Fire Fighters Association Local 2251 to transfer personnel and the terms and conditions of the then existing collective bargaining agreement should this function be transferred to a Fire District as defined by NRS 474.

Staff Summary: Carson City is proposing a change to NRS 474 that would allow a fire district to be formed within the incorporated areas of Carson City. The Fire Fighters Association have asked for assurances that, should that happen, personnel within the fire department would be transferred to the new District along with the terms and conditions of employment negotiated in the collective bargaining agreement.

7. Public Works - Operations

Action to accept Public Works recommendation and award the "Centralized Water Treatment Plant for Wells #4 and #49 B Design and Construction Related Consulting Services Project," Contract 2006-119, from the SDWA-Arsenic Fund as provided for in FY2006/2007, to Brown and Caldwell, located at 3264 Goni Road, Suite 153, Carson City, Nevada 89706, for a contract amount of $282,722.00 and a contingency amount of $28,000.00.

Staff Summary: This contract is the first phase of implementation of Carson City's Arsenic Compliance Implementation Plan to achieve compliance with the Arsenic Rule promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency which resulted in a new drinking water standard of 10 parts per billion. Carson City is currently operating under a three-year exemption that was approved by the State Environmental Commission on September 6, 2006. The City has not exceeded the new arsenic standard since the rule went into effect on January 23, 2006, and would only need to under drought conditions. In the meantime staff is proceeding with steps to implement the plan to meet the new standards.

8. Public Works - Contracts

Action to accept Public Works recommendation and award the "Saliman Road Reclaimed Water Main Extension Project", Contract #2006-097 from the Sewer Capital Projects Fund as provided for in FY2006/2007, to (Bidder #1) Gradex Construction Company, Inc., located at 800 Bennie Lance, Reno, Nevada 89512, for a contract amount of $367,387.96 and a contingency amount of $37,000.00.

9. Parks and Recreation

Update regarding the status of the Carson City Urban Fishing Pond project located at the Carson City Fairgrounds. 

Staff Summary: On February 1, 2007, Carson City publicly opened the bids for this project. Only two bids were received, and both bids were substantially over the available project funding provided by the Nevada Division of Wildlife (NDOW), Carson City, and the City's project partners. City staff wants to share with the Board of Supervisors the current project status and what steps are being taken to continue the project.

10. City Manager

A) Action to introduce on first reading, an ordinance amending Chapter 12.04 Senior Citizens Assistance, to provide a reduction, rather than a rebate, in sewer charges and to provide a reduction in water charges based upon household income, increasing the household income limits, allowing for discontinuance of the discount to any applicant who wastes water or violates the limitations on irrigation and other matters properly related thereto.

Staff Summary: The Board of Supervisors have directed staff to develop a method by which assistance can be provided to low income senior citizens in the payment of water charges. Currently, we offer a rebate for sewer charges based upon income level. Staff is proposing to change this rebate to a discount, and to add water charges to the fees that may be discounted. The discount can be anywhere from 10% to 90%, depending upon household income, and will be paid from the appropriate utility fund.

B) Action to introduce on first reading, an ordinance amending Chapter 4.04, Business Licenses, to move business license administration from the Carson City Treasurer to the Development Services Department, and other matters properly related thereto.
