Ordinances, Resolutions, and Other Items

11. Purchasing and Contracts

11.A For Possible Action: To approve the purchase of an EagleAir Breathing Air Compressor System from Curtis, Inc. through FireRescue-GPO joinder #VH11277 for an amount of $58,000 to be funded from the Capital Projects Fund. (Laura Rader, lrader@carson.org and Robert Schreihans, rschreihans@carson.org)

Staff Summary: This compressor is used to fill our Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) which is vital to our primary mission of firefighting. This unit was checked by an outside vendor and was determined not to be in compliance with the current codes for breathing air. This unit is over 24 years old and was serviced on a regular basis during a long life of service but is now too old to keep fixing. To bring this unit up to the current standard the price could be over $24,000. The decision was made to purchase a new unit rather than spending $24,000 on an obsolete piece of needed safety equipment. This compressor is our primary means of filling our SCBA tanks. There is a 4 to 6 week lead time to build these units and we could not wait that long for a replacement. The vendor needed a commitment from the Fire Department before they would start building this unit. We gave them the authority to build the unit on January 4, 2017 to speed up the lag time for delivery of this compressor. This purchase request falls under the guidelines of an emergency purchase and was approved by Finance and the City Manager.

11.B For Possible Action: To approve Contract 1617-097 911 Phone Services with AT&T Corp. for an annual amount of $174,598.56 for five (5) years for a total contract amount of $872,992.80 to be funded from the 911 Surcharge Fund. (Laura Rader, lrader@carson.org and Ken Furlong, kfurlong@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The 911 Phone Services, maintained by AT&T Corp. servicing the Carson City Public Safety Communications Center will reach end of service life cycle by the end of the current fiscal year. AT&T systems upgrades are mandated by Federal Communications Commission (FCC13-158), dated December 12, 2013, and require compliance to "Improve 911 Reliability", PS Docket No. 13-75, and "Reliability and Continuity of Communications Networks, Including Broadband Technologies", PS Docket No. 11-60. Project completion will include the upgrade of service equipment at the Public Safety Communications Center. Contract award and project duration is anticipated to take approximately four (4) months and therefore, does not allow this item to be placed on consideration at the Fiscal Year 2018 budget cycle hearings. Although competitive bid processing is not required for this upgrade, contact with competitors has been made and has been declined.

12. Parks and Recreation

12.A For Possible Action: To accept the Shade Tree Council's recommendation to discontinue as a formal advisory board; direct the Parks and Recreation Director to incorporate the purpose, mission, and vision of the Council into the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department's functions; authorize the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department to utilize the Shade Tree Council budget for urban forestry education, management, and community outreach; and further direct the District Attorney's Office to draft amendments to the appropriate Carson City Municipal Codes for future Supervisors' consideration to support these actions. (Jennifer Budge, jbudge@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The Shade Tree Council recommended to discontinue as a formal advisory board and requests that the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department incorporate the Council's urban forestry duties into the Department's functions.

12.B For Possible Action: Approval of an Intrastate Interlocal Contract between the State of Nevada, acting by and through its Department of Corrections, and Carson City, acting by and through its Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department, for inmate services. (Jennifer Budge, jbudge@carson.org)

Staff Summary: Carson City, through its Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department, utilizes inmate services year-round to support park maintenance throughout Carson City's parks system. Carson City has had a long standing relationship with the State of Nevada Department of Corrections; however, the previous Interlocal Contract expired on June 30, 2016. The proposed agreement includes a term until October 31, 2020 and provisions for termination if desired by the City. The use of inmate services provides an effective, low-cost alternative to augment the City's parks maintenance labor force within the Department.

12.C For Possible Action: To authorize the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Department to submit three separate Land and Water Conservation Fund grant applications for the following projects: 1. Disc Golf Course Complex site improvements (Portion of APN 010-691-04); 2. Ross Gold Park Playground Replacement (APN 009-166-010); 3. Purchase through a fee-title acquisition 20-acres of land along U.S. Highway 50 near the Clear Creek Interchange (APN 007-051-81) from W. Michael Fagen for open space and passive recreation purposes. (Ann Bollinger, ABollinger@carson.org and Vern Krahn, VKrahn@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The Land and Water Conservation Fund (L&WCF) is a federal grant program managed by the National Park Service and locally administered by Nevada State Parks. There is approximately $1,000,000 that will be awarded through a competitive process on a state wide basis. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Department is seeking the Board of Supervisors approval to submit the three grant applications for priority projects within the Department.

12.D For Possible Action: To authorize $86,643 in Residential Construction Tax funds for the design and construction of a new playground at Ross Gold Park. (Vern Krahn, VKrahn@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that $86,643 in Residential Construction Tax (RCT) funds be allocated to support the proposed funding strategy for the new playground at Ross Gold Park. Efforts are being made to maximize RCT funds and diversify project funding through a variety of grant opportunities. If all the RCT funds are not required for the proposed playground, they would be utilized for other future park projects.

13. Parks and Recreation - Open Space

13.A For Possible Action: To formally agree to the assignment of the surface water rights and responsibilities as indicated in the 2007 Purchase and Sale Agreement for APN#010-071-25 from the Robert Lorin Andersen Trust to the Limited Liability Company: Crandall-Andersen, and to authorize the Mayor and Ms. Bollinger to sign the consent agreement on behalf of the City. (Ann Bollinger, abollinger@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The City purchased APN #010-071-25 in 2007, consisting of 86 acres from the Robert Lorin Andersen Trust. The Trust retained the surface water rights and responsibilities related to those rights on the parcel as part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The two beneficiaries of the Trust subsequently created Crandall-Andersen, LLC. The beneficiaries now wish to formally assign the surface water rights and responsibilities as indicated in the Purchase and Sale Agreement to Crandall-Andersen, LLC, and is requesting the City’s consent, which is required as part of the agreement. The agreement also requires the City to not unreasonably withhold the consent. Crandall-Andersen, LLC would be assuming all of the rights and responsibilities of the purchase and sale agreement, and the same people will be managing those responsibilities. Therefore it is reasonable to consent to the assignment of the purchase and sale agreement to Crandall-Andersen, LLC.

14. Community Development - Planning

14.A For Possible Action: To adopt Bill No. 101, on second reading, an ordinance amending Title 18, Appendix, Carson City Development Standards, by amending Division 4, Signs, Chapter 4.4, Administration, Section 4.4.7, Exemptions, by adding thereto a new subsection, 4.4.7.w, which exempts from the division certain off-premise electronic message display signs; amending Title 18, Appendix, Carson City Development Standards, by amending Division 4, Signs, Chapter 4.6, General Regulations and Standards, by adding a new section 4.6.6 that sets forth standards for electronic message display signs. (Lee Plemel, lplemel@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to 1) allow an off-premise sign for a "community college, state college or university within the Nevada System of Higher Education located in Carson City (i.e. Western Nevada College) under certain conditions, and 2) adopt regulations related to brightness, message hold times, message transition times, and other operational regulations for electronic message display signs.

14.B For Possible Action: To adopt Bill No. 102, on second reading, an ordinance to change the zoning from Single Family 1 Acre (SF1A) to Multifamily Apartment (MFA) on property located at 150 East Roland and 4810 Snyder Avenue, APNs 009-197-02 and 009-197-03. (Hope Sullivan, hsullivan@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The existing single family residential zoning district for the subject property is not consistent with the Master Plan land use designation of High Density Residential. The Multifamily Apartment zoning district is consistent with the Master Plan, and will allow future development consistent with the Master Plan designation.

14.C For Possible Action: To adopt Bill No. 103, on second reading, an ordinance declaring a moratorium, for a period of up to 180 days with the ability to extend it by resolution for up to an additional 60 days, on the acceptance and processing of planning or other applications for construction or operation of new marijuana establishments. (Lee Plemel, lplemel@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act, the Act to legalize "recreational" marijuana, was passed by Nevada voters during the general election on November 8, 2016. The deadline for preparation of final regulations by the Nevada Department of Taxation (“Department”) is December 31, 2017. Until the final adoption of such regulations, the Board of Supervisors will not have a complete picture to facilitate a decision regarding zoning regulations for Marijuana Establishments beyond what is currently in place for Medical Marijuana Establishments. Applications pertinent to Marijuana Establishments would be prohibited during the moratorium, allowing City staff and the Board of Supervisors time to evaluate the implications of the Department’s regulations and consider other impacts related to the regulation or prohibition of Marijuana Establishments within the frame work of State Law. This moratorium would not apply to Medical Marijuana Establishments with valid provisional certificates wishing to operate under the current Medical Marijuana Establishment regulations in Carson City as of the effective date the ordinance.

14.D For Possible Action: To approve a Master Plan Amendment to amend Goal 1.5e of the Master Plan to provide for future aboveground utility corridors to be shown on the Land Use Map of the Master Plan in compliance with NRS 278.165. (Hope Sullivan, hsullivan@carson.org).

Staff Summary: Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 278.150-170 requires the inclusion of an aboveground utility plan in the City's Master Plan. The proposed amendment adds language to the Master Plan that recognizes that the City will work with Sierra Pacific Power and Southwest Gas with respect to the designation of future aboveground utility corridors on the Land Use Map of the Master Plan. At this time, there are no corridors planned. The proposed amendment is necessary to comply with State law.

14.E For Possible Action: To accept the Carson City Master Plan annual report for consideration in setting City Strategic Plan goals and work programs for 2017. (Lee Plemel, lplemel@carson.org)

Staff Summary: State law (NRS 278.190) requires the Planning Commission to annually make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors regarding the implementation of the Master Plan. The Master Plan annual report includes information regarding past, current and future Master Plan implementation actions for the Board’s consideration.
