Carson City leaders aim to close $10M budget deficit on Thursday
Submitted by editor on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 3:10pm
Carson City Board of Supervisors have a heavy agenda this week as they try to close a $10 million budget deficit.
Supervisors will meet Thursday, 8:30 a.m., at the Community Center inside the Sierra Room at 851 East William Street in Carson City.
To balance the budget, city staff has proposed to use $2 million of the Landfill Post Closure Fund; reduce the General Fund ending balance to 5 percent and to cut expenses by $7.8 million.
Some of the budget measures were adopted by Supervisors as the 2011 Cutback Program Priority List but there may be opportunities to achieve the same dollar reduction without eliminating some positions, according to a city staff report.
The program for the two percent salary reduction is proposed to be pulled while other alternatives are considered, the report stated.
Proposed cuts are found here by clicking on the attached PDF or by going to the city's Web site and clicking the link 17A.

In other business Supervisors will:
— Take action to enter into an agreement for one-half of the Northgate Office Complex which is being vacated by the Building and Planning divisions of Public Works. The action is to approve the lease agreement between Carson City and the Ron Woods Family Resource Center.
— Hear plans for and possibly award a $28,916 grant from the Nevada Department of Health and Human service to support immunization programs in Carson City, Douglas and Lyon counties.
— Take action to approval a $351,595 sub-grant from the Nevada State Health Division for the CDC HINI phase 3 vaccination campaign. The state had some additional money from its allocation and is adding $5,480 to the city health departments original grant for a total of $357,075.
— Decide whether to provide professional services for topographical base map preparation for the North-South Water Transmission Main Phase 2. The contract would be up to $59,375.
— Look at a contract of up to $66,485 to provide engineering services for the Solar Project with PacificWest Energy Solutions.
— Authorize the city's open space manager to move forward with the plan to recoup $1,596,347 in state conservation bond money for the fee title acquisition and conservation easement of Horsecreek Ranch open space transactions.
