Board of Supervisors

Carson City's Board of Supervisors voted 2-1 Thursday to approve the transfer of the former Horseshoe Club's gaming license from Nevada Treasure Chest to Silver Bullet of Nevada, LLC, which owns Bodine’s Casino.

Carson City's District Attorney said Thursday he would retry a man on parole for charges related to the death of William Gibson that happened more than 20 years ago.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors (BOS) will meet Thursday, Dec. 1, in the Sierra Room of the Carson City Community Center, located at 851 E. William Street, beginning at 8:30 a.m. to consider a number of materials on its agenda for the first of the month, including a vote on the zoning changes to the proposed Vintage at Kings Canyon over 55 development.

An open letter RE: The Vintage At Kings Canyon

This open letter is intended for (1) all residents of Carson City in general, (2) the neighbors of this proposed mixed-use development in particular, and (3) specifically to the members of the Carson City Board of Supervisors.

A new Bodines casino in north Carson City is still on track after the Board of Supervisors Thursday denied an appeal of its special use permit.

To the citizens of Carson City:

The Vintage at Kings Canyon development is on the Carson City Board of Supervisors agenda for its Dec. 1 meeting.

Nov. 14, 2016: Regarding the Vintage project being scheduled for the Board of Supervisors meeting on December 1st without any notices sent out as of yet:

As three times before, this is project being rushed prematurely. There is no reason why this project should be on the agenda a week after Thanksgiving, with the deadline for comments just as a week from TODAY, or only THREE days before Thanksgiving.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors met last Thursday to consider an amendment to section 10.30 of the Carson City Municipal Code dealing with off-road vehicles in proximity to houses.

Let's put this silly claim by my opponent that he's the voice of reason to rest and use his supposed opposition to the 1/8th city sales tax hike to do it.

With the city Supervisor seat from Ward 4 in the balance, Jim Shirk once again wants to have things both ways in typical politician fashion by saying he voted against the sales tax hike and opposed the downtown Carson Street project, yet he leaves out important details about his voting record and value received.

As his opponent, I'm duty bound to point out the following:

Carver YES, Crowell NO.
Shirk YES, Barrette NO.
White YES, Bonkowski NO.

Carson City Supervisor Brad Bonkowski will hold his monthly Breakfast with Brad on Friday, November 4th, from 7 to 8 am at the Cracker Box in Carson City.

Amidst March snow flakes, officials from Carson City and Q&D Construction dug their shovels into a dirt mound at the intersection of Third and Carson streets nearly eight months ago to break ground on the Downtown Corridor Improvement Project.

Glistening from rain earlier Friday morning, the finished product was unveiled in front of hundreds at a formal ribbon cutting ceremony held in front of the Nevada State Capitol, featuring many of the people who helped to break ground earlier this year.

Thank you all who have voted for new representation for Supervisor, Ward 2. If you haven’t yet voted I hope you will carefully consider your options. I will bring a diverse blue collar point of view that will help our Board of Supervisors make better decisions.

I understand our City’s issues. We are not meeting our obligation to provide the basic life and safety services our residents expect and deserve. Our Sheriff and Fire Chief have issued statements expressing their concerns. Various department leaders have remarked about insufficient budgeting.

Carson City is at the heart of a tourist mecca and our governing officials, for the most part, see Nevada's capital community as a potential hub for more visitors.

Nearly eight months after the Municipality of Carson City and Q&D Construction broke ground on the Downtown Carson Street Corridor Improvement Project on March 7, the ribbon is now ready to be cut on the $8 million dollar expenditure one day ahead of the Nevada Day Parade.
