12. District Attorney

Presentation to the Board of Supervisors on the restructure of the District Attorney's Office which includes the addition of a victim advocate/witness coordinator, the transfer of risk management investigator to the District Attorney's Office, and the transfer of the Child Support Program to the State of Nevada. 

Staff Summary: The Child Support Program is a federal program that is delegated to the States. The State of Nevada administers the program, establishes policy for the program and maintains the computer systems for the program. However, the state has entered into agreements with various district attorneys to do the establishment of non-aid cases and the enforcement of the program on all aid and non-aid cases. The Carson City District Attorney's Office is responsible for the enforcement of the program in Carson City. The bifurcation of the administration and policy making functions from the enforcement functions has created repetitive bureaucracy and unnecessary additional costs to Carson City. Therefore, the Carson City District Attorney's Office will no longer establish and enforce this program on behalf of the State of Nevada.

As part of the restructure of the office, a victim advocate/witness coordinator will be created to provide assistance to crime victims. The District Attorney's Office has also taken on the additional responsibility of providing risk management investigations to the City.

13. City Manager

A) Action to approve a policy titled "Economic Development Funding Policy."

Staff Summary: This policy sets forth the process by which net profits generated from the operations of the Carson City Landfill are recognized and used to support economic development activities. These activities are an investment into our ability to provide services to our citizens in the long term.

B) Update on the current and future financial condition of the Carson City General Fund.

Staff Summary: Staff would like to provide monthly updates on actual budget results, revised projections and cost reduction strategies being implemented to address the deficit included in the 2007/2008 General Fund Budget. No action is requested at this time.

C) Action to recess into closed session pursuant to NRS. 288.220 to meet with management representatives regarding labor negotiations.

Staff Summary: Nevada law permits a governing body such as the Board of Supervisors to close its meeting to the public to meet with its management representatives to discuss labor negotiations, per NRS. 288.220.

D) Action to recess into closed session pursuant to the Nevada Open Meeting Law, NRS. 241.015(2)(b)(2), for the purpose of receiving information regarding potential or existing litigation from an attorney employed or retained by the city, and/or deliberating toward a decision.
