26. District Attorney 

For Possible Action: To introduce, on first reading, an ordinance amending the Carson City Municipal Code Title 5, Public Utility Franchises and Requirements, at Chapter 5.02 T.C.I. of Nevada, Inc., by repealing such chapter in conformance with Chapters 709 and 711 of the NRS and enacting other provisions properly related thereto. (Joe Ward)

Staff Summary: Chapter 711 of the NRS “occupies the entire field of franchising and regulation of video service.” NRS 711.400. Chapter 709 of the NRS addresses public utilities and telephone companies. Chapter 5.02 of the Carson City Municipal Code (CCMC), enacted in 1987, and unchanged to date, pertained to the City’s franchise agreement with T.C.I. of Nevada, Inc. (TCI), which terminated in 2002. TCI was purchased in 1999 by AT&T, whose cable television assets were later acquired by Charter Communications and Comcast Corporation. TCI dissolved on December 21, 2004. The City does business with Charter, however Charter is not an affiliate of TCI. On December 21, 2006 the Board approved an agreement with Falcon Cable Systems II, L.P., locally known as Charter Communications, for 5 years -- through December 21, 2011. Bottom line, Chapter 5.02 of the CCMC is obsolete and should be deleted and replaced with language which comports with Chapters 709 and 711 of the NRS.

27. City Manager

PUBLIC HEARING:

(Nick Marano) Late Material

Staff Summary: The Carson City Board of Supervisors originally approved the Plan of Expenditure for a one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) sales tax pursuant to NRS 377B on February 20, 2014. Because of additional costs required to build the Animal Services Facility, staff is requesting the Board amend the plan to increase the proposed budget of the Animal Services Facility to approximately $4.5 million. Of this amount, sales tax proceeds would account for $4.247 million and contributions the remaining $253,000. The $4.5 million would be used to construct the Animal Services Facility and related site improvements and fund related contingencies. 

B) For Possible Action: To adopt an amended Plan of Expenditure for a one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) sales tax for public infrastructure projects pursuant to NRS 377B, including but not limited to construction of an animal services facility, a multi-purposes athletic center, and street and pedestrian improvements in the downtown area and Carson Street and William Street/Highway 50 East commercial corridors, and/or other projects as directed by the Board of Supervisors.

Upon approval, the warrants, as prepared aforesaid, shall issue. The City Manager shall then cause the register book of bills and other requests for payment and warrants to be presented at least once a month to the board of supervisors, who shall by motion entered into its minutes, ratify the action taken on the bills or other requests for payment.

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.
