For Possible Action: To approve the removal of the taxes and penalties from the unsecured 2010/11 and 2011/12 tax rolls per NRS 361.5607 in the amount of $901.93 (Dave Dawley)

Staff Summary: The Assessor’s Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors to remove those taxes and penalties that have been deemed uncollectible from the personal property tax rolls. The Assessor’s Office has attempted to collect the taxes and penalties using the approved methods under NRS 361.535 and 361.450. Most businesses have moved the personal property and we are unable to locate them. These taxes will result in a decrease for the 2010/11 and 2011/12 fiscal years.

18. Fire 

For Possible Action: To adopt a resolution delegating the authority of the Carson City Board of Supervisors to sign a transfer of authority to an incident management team to manage a disaster, delegating the authority of the Carson City Board of Supervisors to enter into cost share agreements, and establishing a list of individuals who are authorized to sign the transfer of local authority and cost share agreements on behalf of the Board of Supervisors and Carson City and other matters properly related thereto. (Stacey Giomi)  Late Material

Staff Summary: During emergencies and disasters it is often necessary to bring in an incident management team to handle the complexities of managing large scale events. These incident management teams must have the authority to combat the emergency, the same authority that our local emergency officials have. By passing this resolution, the Board will allow the City’s authority to manage an incident to be signed over to the incident management team. This resolution will also allow certain city individuals to enter into cost share agreements with federal agencies in order to establish how an incident will be managed from a financial standpoint.

19. Health & Human Services 

For Possible Action: To approve Carson City Health and Human Services (CCHHS) applying for a Partnerships to Improve Community Health (PICH) grant through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This grant will be used to combat poor nutrition, physical inactivity and to address the lack of access to chronic disease prevention, risk reduction, and management opportunities. (Nicki Aaker)

Staff Summary: CCHHS will be partnering with Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon & Storey Counties and Partnership Carson City. Should CCHHS and partners be successful in acquiring this grant, a multi-sectoral, multi-strategy approach will be used to address disparities and improve population health in the region.

20. Finance 

a.) For Possible Action: To accept the report on the condition of each fund in the treasury and the statements of receipts and expenditures through June 24, 2014 per NRS 251.030 and NRS 354.290. (Nick Providenti)

Staff Summary: NRS 251.030 requires the Finance Director (for the purpose of the statute acting as the County Auditor) to report to the Board of County Commissioners (or in our case the Board of Supervisors), at each regular meeting thereof, the condition of each fund in the treasury. NRS 354.290 requires the County Auditor to report to the Board of Supervisors a statement of revenues and expenditures based on the accounts and funds as were used in the budget.

21. Public Works 

For Possible Action: To approve Amendment #2 of a lease agreement for an easement described in Recorded Document #417657, located on APN 007-091-81 south of Timberline Drive. (Darren Schulz)

Staff Summary: The subject easement is located south of Timberline Drive on APN 007-091-81, a parcel owned by the State of Nevada.

The lease for the subject easement was amended in 2011 to raise the easement fee from $1,115.00 to $2,485.00 annually. The current lease expires June 30, 2014. This amendment would extend the lease two years until June 30, 2016 with no fee increase. This would make the lease end date coincide with the five year review cycle. The rental fee would be reevaluated in 2016 and a new 5 year lease would be issued.

25. Community Development - Planning Division

For Possible Action: To adopt Bill No. 110 on second reading, an ordinance amending Title 18, Zoning; Chapter 18.03, Definitions; Chapter 18.04, Use Districts; and Chapter 18.16, Development Standards, Division 1, Land Use and Site Design, to adopt regulations to allow medical marijuana dispensaries as a conditional use within the General Commercial and General Industrial zoning districts, and to allow medical marijuana cultivation facilities, production facilities, and testing laboratories as a conditional use in the General Industrial zoning district, and to establish development standards for such facilities, and other matters properly related thereto.

Summary: Senate Bill (SB) 374, commonly referred to as the “Medical Marijuana Act,” was adopted by the Nevada Legislature and signed into law in 2013. The Medical Marijuana Act authorizes MMEs in Nevada, but gives local jurisdictions the right to opt out or, if they opt in, to regulate the location of medical marijuana establishments (MMEs) through zoning and business license requirements. The proposed ordinance would allow MMEs with approval of a Special Use Permit in certain zoning districts and subject to other requirements and limitations as described within the ordinance.
