Supervisors will take up the following:
— A discussion and possible action will be held regarding the determination of an appropriate bargaining unit for six at-will, grant-funded employees holding wildland fire positions.
The wildland positions are currently not part of any bargaining unit and no employee organization has been recognized as an authorized representative for the wildland positions. The Carson City Fire Fighters Association IAFF Local 2251 has requested that the city determine the appropriate bargaining unit for the wildland positions.
— A discussion and possible action will be held regarding a report of emergency expenditures to Carson Pump, LLC for water well repairs and an increase in 2022 purchase authority for Carson Pump’s on-cal work from $49,999 to a new not to exceed amount of $100,000 to allow the emergency work to be completed.
So far this year, $28,415 has been expended on planned maintenance of wells. Unexpectedly, Well 40 required emergency repairs due to an unforeseen operational failure, according to the agenda.
— A discussion and possible action will be held regarding a contract with Farr West Engineering to provide design services for three additional phases of the Southeast Mandatory Sewer Extension Project for a not to exceed amount of $495,414.
The project is for the design and construction of sanitary sewer infrastructure where groundwater contaminate levels are high in part due to the high density of individual sewage disposal systems.
— A discussion and possible action will be held regarding a lease amendment between the sheriff’s office and NHP, to allow NHP to continue leasing their office within the sheriff’s office.
The amendment stipulates that after the current lease agreement is finished in June 2022, the lease will increase from $2,912.50 per month to $3,029 per month through 2025.
— The monthly presentation regarding length of service certificates to city employees will be held, honoring those who have completed 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years of city service.
— A discussion and possible action will be held regarding a contract for federal lobbying services with Porter Group, LLC, to extend the contract term for an additional year through Feb. 20, 2023 for a not to exceed additional amount of $49,800.
