10. City Manager

A) Action to approve a resolution adopting and approving the cooperative agreement to engage the services of a consultant to investigate opportunities for sharing regional tax revenues between Carson City and Douglas County. 

Staff Summary: The current tax distribution system between counties has placed pressure upon counties sharing a customer base to entice retail developers to locate within their counties. This system does not reflect demands and costs for providing those services to that common customer base. Instead, it places two neighboring counties in the position of "out bidding" one another to lure tax generating revenues to their side of the County line. This agreement provides for a study, supported by brother Counties, but paid for by Carson City, to examine alternatives to the current system that will achieve the following:
1. Broaden the tax base for both counties and smooths business cycle fluctuations where possible,
2. Remove competition for retail development practices between the counties,
3. Target incentives and improvements to revitalize aging, deteriorating commercial areas throughout the "regional economic unit,"
4. Encourage cooperation of the entities in development of an efficient and effective system of infrastructure, and
5. Provide tax revenues to each county based upon their demand for public services.

Supervisor Williamson and Supervisor Aldean have met with Douglas County officials, who have expressed support for this study.

The remaining twenty percent (20%) is allocated to planning, research, reports and administrative functions. A community-based application review workgroup oversaw the application review process and ranked the applications. At the March 1, 2007, Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board reviewed, modified and approved the 2007-08 CDBG Public Services and Public Improvements funding recommendations.
