— The Carson City Treasurer’s Office is requiring the Board of Supervisors to dismiss fines and late fees from unpaid parking violations issued by code enforcement between 2010 and 2023 in the amount of $111,795.00. These fines have been identified as being uncollectible, or cost and time prohibitive to collect. They are further asking for direction on using a debt collection agency to assist in the recovery of future unpaid fines.
— Supervisors will discuss the acceptance of a sub grant award from the Nevada Attorney General’s Office for the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant and Substance Use Program in the amount of $92,499. If approved, this grant will be used for a full time employee for a Department of Alternative Sentencing Case Worker position, including training and travel. No match is required from the city.
— A lease agreement will be discussed for the use of a communications tower and 1,000 square feet of adjacent space within the Carson City Airport between the city, the Carson City Airport Authority, and New Cingular Wireless PCX, LLC. This would allow Cingular to install new equipment and modify its existing equipment within the leased area. Cingular has held a lease since the early 2000s, and renews automatically every five years unless terminated with the final five-year renewal term expiring in 2031.

In addition, a discussion will be held regarding authorization for the mayor to execute negotiations with property owners for a total amount not to exceed $125,000.
The projects includes pavement reconstruction and preservation, utility replacement, safety enhancements, under grounding of overhead utilities, and multi-modal transportation infrastructure. There are approximately 49 easements that will need to be acquired for the projects.
— A contract with Berger Hannafin Architure, LLP will be discussed to provide ADA improvements to the Bob Boldrick Theater including architectural design, civil, structural and electrical engineering to retrofit the theater to be more inclusive, and provide improved ADA accessibility.

— Every five years, Carson City must revise its Hazard Mitigation Plan and resubmit it to FEMA to remain eligible for various forms of funding from FEMA. The city’s current plan was adopted in 2021 and will need to be fully revised and resubmitted to FEMA in 2026. The Carson City Fire Department is asking for authorization to apply for a $135,000 grant from FEMA to hire a consultant to revise the mitigation plan, with a 25 percent local match not to exceed $45,000.
