Staff Summary: The proposed resolution initiates the process for: (a) amending the SCNID ordinance; and (b) implementing the annual SCNID assessment for FY 2024, both as provided in NRS Chapter 271.  The proposed amendments to the SCNID ordinance do not change the method of assessment but do amend the methods of calculating the assessment to be based on annual maintenance costs and includes a 10 percent administrative fee for the City’s administration of the SCNID.  The base assessment for FY 2024 under Ordinance No. 2021-8 is $155,678, with the proposed property owner’s assessment for FY 2024 estimated to be $86,761 after reducing the assessment by the City’s FY 2024 contribution for the maintenance of the South Carson Street corridor ($24,406) and the amount expected to be collected through City right-of-way license ($44,510).  The assessment is distributed among the commercial property owners within the SCNID as detailed in the resolution and assessment roll.
