The Carson City Board of Supervisors meeting kicks off at 8:30 a.m. The full agenda is here, and you can watch the live video here.

Among the issues up for discussion is a proposal to change the lease agreement for the Eagle Valley Golf Course to reduce the annual payments due to the city by Carson City Municipal Golf Corporation, the entity that runs the facility. Instead of the current $120,000 annual payment, the reduction would call for CCMGC to pay $30,000 this year and 2012, $60,000 in 2013, and return to paying $120,000 per year through 2029.

In the recent past, operators of two privately owned golf courses have expressed their displeasure with the city for subsidizing the operations at Eagle Valley, creating what they view as unfair competition.

Also on the agenda is approval for distributing $108,623 in Redevelopment funds for a variety community events including Nevada Day and the downtown farmers market.
