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.

8-1. Assessor

For Possible Action: To approve the removal of the taxes from the 2011/12 real property tax roll from Assessors parcel number 008-185-03 (3033 Thurman Cir) per NRS 361.091 in the amount of $163.14. (Kimberly Adams)

Staff Summary: The Assessor's Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors to remove the taxes from the 2011/12 real property tax roll from Assessors parcel number 008-185-03 (3033 Thurman Cir) in the amount of $163.14 per NRS 361.091. Initially, the exemption was based on the Department of Veterans Affairs 100% un-employability rating. But due to an opinion from the Carson City District Attorney=s office, the ratings must be based on the overall service-connected disability rating and not un-employability. The veterans were notified and requested to provide a letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs stating that they were in fact, rated at 100% for their service-connected disability. Because these letters take time to receive, we were unable to update our records before the 2011/12 tax roll closed. The Assessor's office is requesting that the remaining taxes be removed from the 2011/12 real property tax roll in the amount of $163.14.

8-2. Parks and Recreation - Open Space

Staff Summary: This action will result in Carson City accepting a grant from the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act - Parks, Trails, and Natural Areas (SNPLMA-PTNA) for $656,200. The monies are to be used to assist with the fee title acquisition of the Bently property approximating 470 acres and located within the Carson River Canyon.

8-7. Treasurer

For Possible Action: To correct Treasurer's $151.95 overcharge on 2011-2012 real property tax roll regarding APN 008-861-29. (Al Kramer)

Staff Summary: Sherry Soulam, owner of parcel 008-861-29, appealed to the Board of Equalization and was granted relief for prior years based on the owner occupied 3% maximum yearly tax increase. While the 2010-2011 and prior tax years were corrected, the Treasurer's office erred in not setting the prior year taxes to the adjusted amount. Thus the tax amount for 2011-2012 tax year was calculated in error.
