(Darren Schulz, DSchulz@carson.org and Dan Stucky, DStucky@carson.org)

Staff Summary:  On September 19, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2019-R-28 declaring Carson City's intent to sell Carson City property located off of Medical Parkway (APNs 007-531-13 and 007-531-14) to the owner of an adjacent parcel under NRS 244.281(1)(e)(1)(I).  Since this time, staff has negotiated the sale of the property for the appraisal value of $905,000 with the adjacent property owner, Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare, and a purchase agreement is proposed for the review and approval of the Board. 

 13.B   For Possible Action:  Discussion and possible action regarding a proposal to deposit proceeds from the sale of Carson City property, located off of Medical Parkway (APNs 007-531-13 and 007-531-14), which was appraised and authorized for sale at $905,000, into the appropriate City fund for future use, including use for the construction of drainage improvements on the South Carson Complete Streets Project.

Staff Summary:  On September 19, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2019-R-28 to sell the Medical Parkway properties under NRS 244.281(1)(e)(1)(I). These properties were originally purchased during the early formation of the Stormwater Utility Fund; the General Fund (Eagle Detention Basin account) was used to purchase the properties.

Per the direction of the Board, staff will further discuss the recommendation to transfer the proceeds to the Stormwater Utility Fund and use these funds to construct critical drainage improvements along the South Carson Street corridor.

(James Jacklett, jjacklett@carson.org)

Staff Summary:  This agreement, if approved, will allow Carson City to utilize the Statewide Public Safety Radio Communications System (Radio System) as recommended in the City’s 2019 Public Safety Radio System Plan. Under the agreement, the City will pay NDOT annually for each radio that is registered and activated on the Radio System in exchange for unlimited air-time. The agreement is for an initial term of ten years and will automatically renew for an additional ten years at the end of each term.  This agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties or unilaterally by either party without cause, effective 120 days after written notice is served by the terminating party.

 14.B   For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding approval to purchase six dispatch consoles, six back-up base radios, interop gateway equipment, switching equipment, and associated services and support through joinder contract #P697-16-016, between Harris Corporation and Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) for a not-to-exceed amount of $458,562.84. (Carol Akers, cakers@carson.org and James Jacklett, jjacklett@carson.org)

Staff Summary:  The existing radio dispatch console system is beyond end-of-life and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. The console system recently experienced several major failures including a 50% failure and most recently a 33% failure. The system is in critical condition as it is still exhibiting anomalous behavior. The proposed replacement dispatch console solution will connect to the Statewide Public Safety Radio System’s geographically redundant core network as recommended in the City’s 2019 Public Safety Radio System Plan.

 14.C   For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding a purchase of equipment, licensing, and services for the existing public safety audio recorder from the manufacturer “NICE Systems” for a total not to exceed amount of $119,840.00 (Carol Akers, cakers@carson.org and James Jacklett, jjacklett@carson.org)

Staff Summary:  The Carson City Sheriff’s Office operates the City’s public safety audio recorder. The recorder is used to meet evidentiary requirements for the 911 dispatch center. The system records the public safety phone lines and radio channels. The proposal includes software updates, digital radio and phone capability, twenty additional channel licenses, and redundant storage servers to replace the existing end-of-life equipment. This action was recommended in the City’s 2019 Public Safety Radio System Plan.

 14.D   For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding approval to purchase radio communications equipment through joinder contract #P697-16-016, between Harris Corporation and the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) for a not to exceed amount of $1,200,000.00 through June 30, 2020. (Carol Akers, cakers@carson.org and James Jacklett, jjacklett@carson.org)   NDOT Agreement

Staff Summary:  This approval is separate from the replacement radio console project and, if granted, will be used to purchase radio equipment and associated supplies necessary to support the City’s public safety radio capability in accordance with the 2019 Public Safety Radio System Plan. 

 14.E   For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding the purchase of 29 vehicles and 1 utility bed swap for several departments throughout the City, utilizing the State of Nevada’s competitive bid list and cooperative purchasing agreements through Sourcewell and HGACBuy for a total not to exceed amount of $2,140,809.70. (Carol Akers, CAkers@carson.org and Rich Hardcastle, RHardcastle@carson.org)

Staff Summary:  Multiple city departments are looking to replace vehicles due to the age and/or condition of the vehicles.  The vehicles being replaced are at the end of their useful lives and it is not cost-effective to continue to maintain these vehicles.  Staff seeks approval for a total of 29 vehicles to be replaced and 1 utility bed to be swapped to a different vehicle.  These requested purchases were planned for and are funded as part of the approved FY 20 Capital Improvement Vehicle Replacement Program.

Staff Summary:  The Carson City Clerk-Recorder administers all federal, state and local elections within its boundaries.  The State of Nevada passed Initiative Petition No. 1 (IP 1) in the 2018 General Election which mandates automatic voter registration through the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.  In addition, the 2019 Nevada Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 345 which mandates same day voter registration.  Both of these mandates will increase the voter turnout and require additional voting equipment to prepare for proper voter accommodations.
