19. Finance

A) For Possible Action: To introduce on first reading, an ordinance amending the Carson City Municipal Code, Title 2, Administration and Personnel, Chapter 2.14, Carson City Audit Committee, amending Section 2.14.040, Responsibilities of the Carson City Audit Committee, by adding additional review and recommendation responsibilities regarding the adequacy of city department and office performance measures for the purposes of internal audits, setting forth auditing standards, and requiring the committee to oversee the internal auditor's creation and implementation of fraud, waste and abuse identification processes and reporting, and other matters properly related thereto. (Bill Prowse, Audit Committee Vice Chair)

Staff Summary: The original ordinance, as amended, listed a number of responsibilities of the Carson City audit committee but did not require the internal auditor to perform his duties in conformance with professional standards, such as are required for external financial auditors, the legal profession, engineers, building inspectors and other professions. Such standards are required of internal audit organizations worldwide. These standards help ensure any persons performing internal audit work for Carson City meets basic levels of independence, qualifications, experience, ability and that conclusions and recommendations are adequately reported. Further, the existing ordinance does not include provisions that the internal auditor review the adequacy of the city departments' or offices' performance measures. Finally, the City does not have established processes to identify potential fraud, waste and abuse (FWB) of city resources and property nor to respond to such situations if identified. The amended ordinance directs the internal auditor to create and implement processes to identify potential FWB of city resources and property and establish a findings protocol regarding any such issues identified by the internal auditor.

B) For Possible Action: To adopt a resolution indicating the intent of Carson City, Nevada, to issue its Hospital Revenue Refunding Bonds for the purpose of refunding certain Hospital Revenue Bonds previously issued by Carson City, Nevada, for the benefit of Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare; fixing the time and place of a hearing concerning such bonds; providing for the publication of a notice concerning such hearing; approving the form of an agreement between Carson City, Nevada and Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare; and prescribing other details in connection therewith. (Nick Providenti)

Staff Summary: NRS Sections 244A.669 to 244A.763 authorizes a public hearing on the issuance of hospital refunding bonds for, and a preliminary agreement with, Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare.

20. Public Works - Planning and Zoning

For Possible Action: To adopt a Resolution amending the maximum number of residential building permit allocations under the Carson City Growth Management Ordinance for the years 2013 and 2014 and estimating the maximum number of residential building permits for the years 2015 and 2016; establishing the number of residential building permit allocations available within the development and general property owner categories; and establishing a maximum average daily water usage for commercial and industrial building permits as a threshold for growth management commission review. (GM-12-026) (Lee Plemel)

Staff Summary: The Board of Supervisors is required to annually establish the number of residential permits that will be available for the following calendar year. This has historically been based upon a growth rate of three percent. The commercial and industrial daily water usage threshold has historically been 7,500 gallons per day, above which Growth Management Commission approval is required.

21. District Attorney

For Possible Action: To introduce, on first reading, an ordinance amending the Carson City Municipal Code Title 2 - Administration and Personnel, creating a new Chapter 2.44 - Financial Administration, and creating a new Section 2.44.010 - Majority Voting Required on Use of Public Funding for Carson City Center Project, to Require an Affirmative Vote of the Majority of the People Before Public Funding Can Be Used for the Carson City Center Project, and other matters properly related thereto. (Randal Munn)

Staff Summary: Pursuant to NRS 295.095 Petitioners filed their Affidavit For Petitioners' Committee and sample Initiative Petition ordinance at the Clerk-Recorder's office on February 1, 2012. The Initiative Petition ordinance, as signed by various Carson City voters, was submitted on June 27, 2012, for "Certification of Sufficiency" pursuant to NRS 295.105. On July 6, 2012, the Certification of Sufficiency that the petition contained sufficient signatures to qualify for consideration was issued by the Clerk-Recorder. The 30-day time limit ("within 30 days after the date the petition was finally determined sufficient" NRS 295.115(1)) for the Carson City Board of Supervisors to adopt the certified initiative ordinance expires on Sunday August 5, 2012. The initiative ordinance adopted by the Board, if any, must be "without any change in substance" from that of the circulated petition's. If the Board adopts the initiative ordinance on first reading at its July 19, 2012 meeting, a second reading adoption at its August 2, 2012 meeting would satisfy both the Carson City Charter and NRS 295.115(1). If the Board rejects adoption, then the Board must submit the Initiative Petition ordinance to the voters as a ballot question at the November 6, 2012 general election or otherwise sue to keep it off the ballot. Arguments for and against would be developed by appointed committees pursuant to NRS 295.121.

22. City Manager

A) For Possible Action: To adopt policies and procedures for the City's Boards, Committees and Commissions. (Larry Werner)

The document being presented has been edited to incorporate comments that were suggested at the May 3, 2012 meeting.

B) For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action to authorize the Mayor to sign a letter to Governor Sandoval requesting that his recommended 2013-2015 budget not include cost shifts, unfunded mandates or revenue diversions that impact county government, including those enacted in the 2011 Legislative Session.
