(Lee Plemel, lplemel@carson.org)

NRS 279.628 permits the expenditure of money from the Redevelopment Revolving Fund for the purpose of any expenses necessary or incidental to the carrying out of Redevelopment Plans. PURSUANT TO NRS 279.628, THIS RESOLUTION MUST BE ADOPTED BY A TWO-THIRDS VOTE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

Staff Summary: Redevelopment annually funds special events from a portion of the Revolving Fund. A total of $60,000 was budgeted for Special Events in FY 2016-17, and $33,000 has been allocated leaving $27,000 available. The requested $750 would be used for advertising for the Olde Time Santa Parade, an annual event organized by the Downtown 20/20 organization.

21.B For Possible Action: To adopt Bill No. 114 on second reading, an ordinance amending Title 10, Vehicles and Traffic, by amending a portion of Chapter 10.30, Motorcycles, Section 10.30.120, Violations, to amend provisions relating to certain motorcycle violations; and adding thereto a new chapter, 10.31 Off-Road Vehicles, All-Terrain Vehicles and Motorcycles that are not Street-Legal Motorcycles; establishing various provisions relating to off-road vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles that are not street-legal motorcycles. (Lee Plemel, LPlemel@carson.org and Sheriff Ken Furlong, kfurlong@carson.org)

Staff Summary: Current Carson City Municipal Code regulates off-road two-wheel and three-wheel vehicles ("motorcycles") in their operation in proximity to houses but does not regulate four-wheel off-road vehicles. The proposed ordinance would include four-wheel off-road and other all-terrain vehicles in the regulations related to noise and other disturbances in residential areas. The current Chapter 10.30 regarding "motorcycles" has not been amended since 1978 and likely did not contemplate the use of four-wheeled off-road vehicles in residential neighborhoods.

Staff Summary: The Planning Commission approved a Special Use Permit for an unlimited gaming casino, bar, and additional signage at its meeting of September 28, 2016. A decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the Board of Supervisors. The appellant is appealing the decision of the Planning Commission on the following assertions: (1) inconsistency with the Master Plan, (2) the inability to make the required findings; and (3) the lack of the Commission's review for compliance with Title 4 of the Carson City Municipal Code. The appeal was filed by Garrett D. Gordon of Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP on behalf of the Carson Nugget Casino Hotel, Fandango Casino & Hotel, Gold Dust West Casino Hotel, Carson City Max Casino and SlotWorld Casino.

24.B For Possible Action: To approve and authorize the Mayor to sign a Partnership Letter to participate in the Northern Nevada Development Authority (NNDA) Brownfields Assessment Program grant application with Douglas County, and authorize the NNDA to submit the joint grant application for $600,000 on the City's behalf. (Lee Plemel, lplemel@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The NNDA is proposing to submit a joint-entity Brownfield grant to EPA to provide funding to Carson City and Douglas County for Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental assessments of properties. Funds would also be available for environmental cleanup activities. NNDA currently manages a similar grant with Lyon and Churchill Counties. The NNDA's primary purpose is to use the funding to assess properties for its manufacturing Certified Sites program, but Carson City and Douglas County may use the funds for other sites. The NNDA will manage the grant. There are no matching funds required, though some City staff time could be required and is reimbursable through the grant.
