For Possible Action: To approve the partial removal and refund of the taxes from the 2014/15 real property tax roll from Assessor's Parcel Number 002-432-25 (1827 Belmont Ave) per NRS 361.091 in the amount of $354.00. (Dave Dawley)

Staff Summary: The Assessor's Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors to approve the partial removal of the taxes from the 2014/15 real property tax roll from Assessor's Parcel Number 002-432-25 (1827 Belmont Ave.) in the amount of $354.00 per NRS 361.091. The owner of the property was entitled to receive a 60 - 79% Disabled Veteran Exemption on his real property taxes for the 2014/15 fiscal year. Due to a clerical error, instead of receiving the Disabled Veteran Exemption the property owner only received the regular Veterans Exemption. The Assessor's Office is asking for the 2014/15 taxes to be adjusted to reflect the correct exemption and a refund be given.

The Board is being asked to reclassify the Parking Technician Officer position into a Compliance Officer position, which will have the additional duties of parking enforcement.

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.

B) For Possible Action: To adopt a resolution to enter into an Interlocal Contract between the State of Nevada acting by and through its Department of Conservation and Natural Resources - Nevada Division of Forestry and the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City for the purpose of administering a Wildland Fire Protection Program for wildland fires and other emergencies.
