Staff Summary: Parcels #010-592-09 and #010-602-01 were transferred to Carson City in 2003 and are exempt from taxation per NRS 361.060. A correction to the tax roll was made in 2013 for the taxes assessed and the penalties and interest added from 2003 - 2012.

For Possible Action: To adopt a resolution accepting an interlocal contract at a fee of $401,211 for July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016 (the adult day care is projected to be in operation for six months), and an estimated fee of $514,438 per fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016 with Douglas County for Carson City Health and Human Services (CCCHS) to provide community health nursing and adult day care services in Douglas County. The contract will automatically renew yearly unless sooner terminated by either party or either party determines terms of contract need to be renegotiated.

Staff Summary: Recognizing the benefit of a collaborating partnership, CCHHS has provided community public health clinical services for Douglas County since January 2012.

If the annual costs exceed the estimated contract rates for the performance of the community health nursing program, CCHHS reserves the right to exercise an emergency amendment of the contract to recoup costs from Douglas County.
