(FSM 18-121). (Heather Ferris, hferris@carson.org)

Staff Summary:  The Board of Supervisors granted approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map for the Schulz Ranch Common Open Space Development on October 20, 2005.  The Board of Supervisors subsequently approved a Development Agreement on September 1, 2011, the first amendment to the Development Agreement on April 3, 2014, and the second amendment to the Development Agreement on November 16, 2017.  The third Final Subdivision Map for Schulz Ranch recorded on November 16, 2017.  Per Carson City Municipal Code, Section 17.06.015 (Time Limit for Recording), successive maps in a series of phased Final Subdivision Maps must be approved by the Board of Supervisors within two years of the recordation of the preceding map for the Tentative Subdivision Map to remain valid.  This is the fourth and final phase of the Schulz Ranch Subdivision.

15.    Parks and Recreation

 15.A   For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding authorization for submission of a grant application to the Nevada Recreational Trails Program requesting $150,000 for road maintenance of the dirt segment of Kings Canyon Road. (Ann Bollinger, abollinger@carson.org)

Staff Summary: Like many areas around Carson City, Kings Canyon Road was severely impacted by the winter storms and runoff in early 2017. The road damage has impacted vehicle access and recreational enjoyment of Carson City and U.S. Forest Service-administered lands. The U.S. Forest Service is the lands administrator of Kings Canyon Road; however, the agency does not have a budget for maintenance of high-clearance dirt roads. Carson City staff is facilitating the road maintenance and improvements by submitting a grant funding request and assisting in the planning process where possible. The grant requires a 5% match, so $7,500 will be budgeted from the Quality of Life Open Space account.

 15.B   For Possible Action:  Discussion and possible action regarding a dedication of Schulz Ranch Park, APN 010-732-05, to Carson City for public recreation purposes, offered as Neighborhood Park Common Area "A" on the Final Map for Schulz Ranch Subdivision Phase 3, recorded as Map Number 2929 on November 16, 2017.  (Vern Krahn, VKrahn@carson.org and Stephanie Hicks, SHicks@carson.org)

Staff Summary: As a condition of the approved Schulz Ranch Maintenance District Development Agreement, Lennar Reno, LLC was required to dedicate APN 010-732-05 to Carson City for public use as a neighborhood park located within Phase 3 of the Schulz Ranch Subdivision once improvements were constructed. A conditional notice of substantial completion was issued and final completion issued at the end of September for Schulz Ranch Park; therefore, the City is now able to accept the offer of dedication of APN 010-732-05.  Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept the dedication of Schulz Ranch Park from Lennar Reno, LLC.

 15.C   For Possible Action:  Discussion and possible action regarding a proposed Resolution determining that Carson City asset item #1005, mobile bleachers, has reached the end of its useful life and is therefore surplus property, and authorizing its donation to Nevada Day, Incorporated. (Jennifer Budge, jbudge@carson.org) Late Material

Staff Summary:  NRS 244.1505(2) allows the Board of Supervisors to donate to nonprofit organizations equipment that the Board determines has reached the end of its useful life.  Adoption of this proposed Resolution and the execution of the Warranty Agreement disclaiming any warranty by the City, attached as Exhibit A to the Resolution, authorizes donation of mobile bleachers equipment which the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department believes has reached the end of its useful life.

16.    Finance

 16.A   For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding acceptance of the Audit Committee's recommendation to approve the completed remediation plans and remove the completed findings from the Audit Findings Tracking Summary Report.  (Sheri Russell, srussell@carson.org)   

Staff Summary:  The completed remediation plans for various recommendations and findings have been presented and approved by the Carson City Audit Committee.  Upon approval by the Board of Supervisors, the completed recommendations and findings for the Temporary Staffing items 3, 4 and 5 and all recommendations included as part of the Fire Department Overtime Audit will be considered closed and removed from the Audit Findings Tracking Summary Report maintained by the internal auditor and City staff.  A legal opinion issued by the District Attorney's is submitted with this agenda item to address whether there is a potential conflict in law between the Uniform Guidance and Nevada Revised Statutes, as previously discussed at a prior meeting of the Board.  

 16.B   For Possible Action:  Discussion and possible action regarding approval of the Fiscal Year 2020 Audit Work Program to be performed by the City's retained internal auditor Eide Bailly, LLP consistent with recommendations of the Audit Committee’s September 9, 2019 meeting, for an amount not to exceed $158,100 for the total cost of the internal audits.  (Sheri Russell, srussell@carson.org)
