Ordinances, Resolutions, and Other Items

5. Finance

Action to adopt the Carson City Plan of Corrective Action for FY 06-07 statutory violation included in the annual audit.

Staff Summary: Within 60 days after the delivery of the annual audit to the local government, the governing body shall advise the Department of Taxation what action has been taken to prevent recurrence of each violation of law or regulation included in the annual audit.

6. Public Works - Transportation

Action to approve a policy and procedure for ADA inquiries and requests to improve the City's response to such inquiries and requests related to pedestrian facilities.

Staff Summary: Public Works Department staff are seeking to improve the City's response for inquiries and requests related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as it relates to pedestrian facilities. This policy was previously approved by the Carson City Regional Transportation Commission at its November 14, 2007 meeting.

7. Clerk Recorder

Action to adopt, on second reading, Bill No. 143, an ordinance amending the Carson City Municipal Code Title 2, Administration and Personnel, Chapter 2.28, Compensation for Election Board Officers, by deleting the 2.28.010 in its entirety and replacing with "The compensation and conditions of employment for voting board officers, counting board officers, those employed for the purpose of conducting early voting, specially appointed deputy sheriffs and other election board officers shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Supervisors" and other matters properly related thereto.

Staff Summary: CCMC 2.28.010 sets the pay for election board workers. This ordinance was put into place in 1984 and is restrictive. The Board of Supervisors should have more flexibility to set pay. This change would do that by setting pay for election works by Resolution instead of in the Code.

8. Development Services

Action to adopt on second reading Bill No. 144, an ordinance repealing Ordinance no. 2007-30, Bill No. 129, and amending Title 17 Subdivision, Chapter 17.03 Parcel Maps, Lot Line Adjustments and Deletions, Reversion to Acreage Maps, and Merger and Resubdivision of Land, Section 17.03.010 Application and Review, Section 17.03.015 Application and Review, Section 17.03.020 Application and Review, Section 17.03.025 Reversion to Acreage Maps, and Section 17.03.030 Merger and Resubdivision Maps; Chapter 17.04 Land Division Maps, Section 17.04.005 Application and Review; Chapter 17.05 Tentative Maps, Section 17.05.005 Application Process and Section 17.05.025 Fees and Service Charges, Chapter 17.06 Subdivision Final Maps, Section 17.06.005 Map Submittal for Approval; Chapter 17.09 Planned Unit Development, Section 17.09.040 Application for Tentative Approval; Chapter 17.11 Improvement and Procedure, Section 17.11.035 Inspection Fee, by deleting any reference to fees being set by resolution of the Board of Supervisors and amending Section 17.11.035 Development Filing and Checking Fees, by adding references to Title 18 Zoning and Title 18 Appendix - Development Standards for fees to be charged by the city and other matters properly related thereto.

Staff Summary: Approval of this ordinance will remove certain sections that contain fees and charges and refer to the fees and charges contained in Title 18 Zoning and Title 18 Appendix - Development Standards. This will consolidate Engineering and Planning fees into two locations of the Carson City Municipal Code. The Sections of Title 17 made reference that the fees and charges were set by Board resolution. By the Board's previous actions, the fees and charges will be set by ordinance. Additionally, the error discovered by Supervisor Aldean on page 10 of the ordinance presented for first reading regarding the map requirements for a reversion to acreage map has been corrected by moving a portion of Section 17.03.030 to Section 17.03.025.

9. Public Works

A) Action to accept the recommendation of and authorize Public Works staff to begin the process of entering into an agreement with a "Construction Manager as Agent" for the design and construction of the proposed city indoor recreation center/multi-purpose gym project. 

Staff Summary: Carson City Public Works would like to enter into an agreement with a contractor to assist in the planning, scheduling and management of the construction of the proposed indoor recreation center/multi-purpose gym. Public Works staff has determined contracting with a Construction Manager as Agent is the most cost effective and efficient process to design and construct the facility. This is the design and construction method used for the Sheriff's Administration Building project and has been proven to be effective in keeping project costs down and within the contingency allowed for the contract, as well as meeting project schedules.

Staff will be recommending a rate increase of 10% for sewer followed by annual 5% increases thereafter. For Reclaimed Water, staff is proposing reducing the adopted rate from $0.21/1000 gal to $0.10/1000 gal and setting the time for the rate to take effect. For stormwater an increase of 5% annually will be recommended, and for water an increase of 6% annually is proposed. Staff will provide an overview of the need for the increases.
