Watch it Live: Carson City Board of Supervisors
The Carson City Board of Supervisors meet today beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Sierra Room of the Carson City Community Center. Go here for the agenda and here to watch it live.
Among the items for discussion and possible action:
An agreement has been tentatively reached by the negotiating team for the City and Nicholas F. Marano for a contract to make Marano the city manager of Carson City. Supervisors moved to appoint Marano at its May 2 meeting. Total salary and benefits in the agreement in which the Board will consider is $247,010 annually.
The board will also consider a proposed tentative schedule to plan, design, and construct the projects identified in the recently approved one-eighth percent sales tax plan of expenditure including the animal services facility, multi-purposes athletic center (MAC), street and pedestrian improvements in the downtown area and Carson Street and William Street/Highway 50 East commercial corridors and Community Center improvements.
With approval of the 1/8th of one-percent sales tax ordinance staff is ready to proceed with the completion of the design for the MAC project. However, there has been some discussion regarding the consideration of Mills Park as an alternate site for the MAC. Staff is requesting direction from the Board of Supervisors whether they want us to proceed with the present site at the Boys & Girls Club of Western Nevada or consider another site at Mills Park as an alternate.
As the Redevelopment Authority, the board will hear requests for special events funding. The Redevelopment Agency annually funds special events within the Redevelopment District from a portion of the Revolving Fund.
The Redevelopment Agency has received more requests for funding ($121,250 total) than expected Redevelopment funds available ($65,000 tentatively budgeted) to support the requests, leaving a funding shortfall of $56,250.
The requests include $2,500 for Nutcracker Ballet, $2,500 for Sierra Nevada Ballet Peanutcracker, $10,000 for Sierra Nevada Ballet Duke's Place, $8,000 for Jazz and Beyond Music Festival, $6,000 for Capital City Arts Initiative, $2,500 for the Silver Dollar Car Classic, $6,100 for Lone Mountain Cemetery Tour, $10,000 for RSVP Fourth of July Fair, $10,000 for RSVP Nevada Day Fair, $10,000 for RSVP Spring Fun Fair, $6,500 for Taste of Downtown, $4,150 for Carson City Senior Center Car Show and Concert, $10,000 for the Nevada Sesquicentennial Fair, $5,000 for the Great Carson City Book Festival, and $28,000 for NVision Live Events Series concerts and festivals.
