— As part of Historic Preservation and Archaeological Awareness Month, Mayor Lori Bagwell and Mike Drews, Historic Resources Commission chairman, will present the 2024 Historic Preservation Awards to Sarah Martin for the preservation of Rinkel Mansion located at 102 N. Curry St., and posthumously for Stan Jones for his continuous support of the Historic District and the work of the Carson City Historic Resources Commission.

— A settlement agreement will be discussed between the city and plaintiffs Maston Crapps and Kathrine Carter regarding access to their property on Ash Canyon. According to the agenda, the city acquired a parcel on Ash Canyon Road in 2011 from Joost Land and Cattle Company, Inc. subject to a 50 year deed that among other things provided the parcel would revert back to Joost if the portion of Ash Canyon was used for development. In 2022, the plaintiffs purchased a parcel within the area with the intention of building a residence. The Planning Division informed the plaintiffs they’d need to find access other than Ash Canyon Road because of the deed restriction. The Plaintiffs brought an action against the city which resulted in Boost releasing the deed restriction, and the plaintiffs and city were ordered to attend a settlement conference. Both parties agree that the relevant portions of Ash Canyon are open to public use.

— The dedication of two right-of-ways will be discussed, the first of Crimson Circle located at Emerson Cottages, the second of Parkland Avenue located within the Little Lane Village development. Now that the streets have been constructed to city standards, staff is recommending acceptance of the dedication.

— Supervisors will discuss an update to the wholesale water rates for Carson City to purchase water from the Town of Minden. A wholesale agreement twas initiated in 2017 and continued through 2022. The update to the agreement will increase for an estimated $35,000 for a new esteemed annual cost of $945,000 during the period between 2025 to 2029.

— Supervisors will discuss the purchase of three new vehicles: a dump truck for Parks, Recreation and Open Space, and two fleet vehicles for the Sheriff’s Office, one for the undersheriff and another for Behavioral Health Services, for a total not to exceed $266,921.94.

— An interlocal contract between the State of Nevada, the Carson City Library and the city will be discussed, which would provide innovative career training, advancement and exploration services within the library. In addition, a proposed acceptance of a grant to fund the contract and the creation of a grant-funded employee position will be discussed, to create a Senior Workforce Development Professional position at the library.
