Ordinances, Resolutions, and Other Items

11. Item(s) pulled from the Consent Agenda will be heard at this time.

12. Purchasing and Contracts

12.A For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding an increase in purchase authority for Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach), utilizing joinder contract #150063-SK-A through National IPA, for an additional $80,000 for a new total not to exceed amount of $300,000 through June 30, 2020 (File No. 1920-007). (Carol Akers, Cakers@carson.org and Andy Hummel, Ahummel@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The Carson City Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments are currently utilizing the joinder contract through National IPA to purchase Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) used at the wastewater treatment plant, quill treatment plant and the aquatic center for pool disinfection. The price for the bleach has increased from $0.997 per gallon to $1.1466 per gallon. The pricing is conducted through a cost/product analysis per agency when orders are placed. There has also been an increase in usage since the Phase 1A project improvements at the Water Resource Recovery Facility were brought online in 2017. The addition of the bioreactor unit resulted in reduced nutrient loading (nitrogen, ammonia, and phosphorous) in the effluent; however, this requires more bleach for final disinfection as previously the ammonia provided some natural disinfection that is now not occurring.

13. Public Works

13.A For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding initiation of the process to change water and wastewater rates for the water and wastewater utilities, including increasing water rates by approximately 3% per year, and increasing wastewater rates by approximately 3.5% per year, beginning in FY 2021 and continuing through FY 2025. (Darren Schulz, DSchulz@Carson.org; Andy Hummel, AHummel@Carson.org; and Eddy Quaglieri, EQuaglieri@Carson.org)

Staff Summary: On February 7, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Farr West Engineering to prepare a water and wastewater rate refresh study of the water and wastewater rates. The objective of the study was to review the financial position of the respective funds; incorporate current and projected operating, maintenance, and capital improvement plan costs; and to determine revenue requirements to meet the projected expense requirements. Farr West Engineering will present the results and recommendations of the study. Upon approval from the Board of Supervisors, staff would initiate the process to change water and wastewater rates, which includes the preparation of a business impact statement and revisions to the Carson City Municipal Code to effectuate the rates.

13.B For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding the transfer of approximately 1,880 square feet of land through a lot line adjustment from Maverik, Inc., APN 008-291-03, to Carson City, APN 008-291-04, for the expansion of the Carson City Graves Lane Detention Basin, and the relocation of a City access easement to align with the new parcel boundary. (Darren Schulz, DSchulz@carson.org; Dan Stucky, Dstucky@carson.org and Cory Kleine, Ckleine@carson.org)

Staff Summary: Staff is requesting acceptance of the transfer of approximately 1,880 square feet of land from Maverik, Inc., through completion of a lot line adjustment. The additional land will allow for the expansion of the existing City detention pond on APN 008-291-04. This expansion will be performed at no cost to the City and will accommodate the anticipated additional runoff generated from the proposed Maverik development. The storage generated from this expansion will be more than required for the development, increasing the City's storage capacity. Additionally, a City easement for access to and maintenance of the detention basin runs along the boundary of the parcels, APNs 008-291-03 and 008-291-04, and with the lot line adjustment moving the existing boundary, the access easement will need to be relocated to the new boundary.

13.C For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding Cooperative Agreement P784-19-019 between Carson City and the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) for the upgrade of the stormwater system from Oregon Street to the Linear Ditch in an amount not to exceed $200,000. (Darren Schulz, Dschulz@carson.org and Dan Stucky; DStucky@carson.org)

Staff Summary: As part of the future Oregon Street to Linear Ditch Storm Drain Extension Project, the drainage system through the NDOT maintenance yard between Oregon Street and the Linear Ditch will be up- sized to increase the system capacity and improve stormwater conveyance in the area. These project improvements will compliment other stormwater system upgrades occurring in the area as part of the South Carson Complete Streets Project. Since this City project will benefit both parties by reducing flooding in the area, NDOT has agreed to cooperate on the project by providing reimbursement for a portion of the project construction costs.

14. Community Development - Planning

14.A For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding a request for an Order of Abandonment for the abandonment of a public right-of-way totaling approximately 39,385 square feet in the following three specific areas: all of West Willow Street right-of- way, being approximately 63 feet wide by 600 feet long, between Voltaire Street on the west and Cochise Street on the east; a portion of Voltaire street three feet wide by approximately 263 feet long on the east side of the public right-of-way, from the northern area of West Willow Street to West Overland Street; and a section of Cochise Street three feet wide by approximately 132 feet long on the west side of the public right-of-way, from West Overland Street to the northern area of the abandonment of West Willow Street. (Hope Sullivan, hsullivan@carson.org) Late Material

Staff Summary: The area of abandonment is currently vacant property. If approved, the portion of Voltaire Street and Cochise Street would be narrowed from 63 feet to 60 feet wide, and West Willow Street would be abandoned completely. Per CCMC 17.15, the Board of Supervisors is authorized to abandon right-of-way areas.

14.B For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action to introduce, on first reading, an ordinance relating to marijuana, amending Title 18 Appendix, Division 1, Section 1.20 of the Carson City Municipal Code to revise hours of operation for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries and Retail Marijuana Stores. (Heather Ferris, hferris@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The applicant is proposing to amend Division 1.20.2.b of the Development Standards to allow marijuana dispensaries to expand the permitted hours of operation from 7 AM to 8 PM daily to 8 AM to 11 PM daily. The applicant is also proposing to amend Division 1.20.1.h of the Development Standards to allow for marijuana dispensaries to increase the allowable signage for medical marijuana dispensaries and retail marijuana stores. The request related to signage was not supported by staff or recommended by the Planning Commission and is not included as proposed language in the draft ordinance.

15. City Manager

15.A For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding a proposed resolution declaring Halloween to be held on Friday, October 30, 2020. (Nancy Paulson, npaulson@carson.org)

Staff Summary: Nevada Day activities will be held on Saturday, October 31, 2020. This resolution will move Halloween, traditionally observed on October 31, to Friday, October 30, 2020, to avoid any conflicts between these two events.
