Presentations

Proclamation and presentation of the Employee-of-the-Quarter award to Nicholas Wentworth, Parks Maintenance Coordinator.

Presentation and discussion regarding the reorganization of the Public Meetings and Public Records Divisions within the Office of the Clerk-Recorder by renaming and restructuring the Records Management Systems Officer position as the Senior Public Meetings Clerk position, and renaming and restructuring the Council and Commission Reporter position as the Public Meetings Clerk position.

Staff Summary: The Clerk-Recorder has evaluated the current and future workload demands of the Clerk-Recorder's Public Records and Public Meetings Divisions. It has been determined that by restructuring the existing Records Management Systems Officer position (T2) into a Senior Public Meetings Clerk position (T2) and restructuring the existing Council & Commission Reporter position (A4) as a Public Meetings Clerk position (A4) to correlate with a modified arrangement of position duties will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the Office of the Clerk-Recorder as a whole.

Assessor

Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding a proposed removal of the 2018/2019 Real Property Taxes from parcel number 009-721-37 (Heaton Way / Chubasco Way) per NRS 361.765 and NRS 361.233 in the amount of $580.62 and a waiver of $103.81 in penalties.

Staff Summary: Parcel number 009-721-37 is real property within a "common-interest" community and is therefore assessed upon the community units and not upon the common- interest community as a whole per NRS 361.233. Due to a clerical error, a tax bill was generated for the 2018/2019 fiscal year. The Assessor's Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors remove the taxes and penalties per NRS 361.233 and NRS 361.765.

For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding a proposed partial removal of the 2018/2019 Real Property Taxes from parcel number 010-443-16 (3695 Desatoya Dr.) per NRS 361.060 in the amount of $3,422.76, along with a refund to be issued in the same amount for the time period that this parcel was exempt from April 11, 2019 through June 30, 2019.

The Assessor's Office is requesting the partial removal and partial refund of the 2018/19 Real Property Taxes for Assessor's Parcel Number 010-443-16 in the amount of $3,422.76. This parcel was deeded to Nevada Rural Housing Authority on April 11, 2019 and is therefore tax exempt per NRS chapter 361. The 2018/19 Real Property Taxes remain taxable from July 1, 2018 through April 10, 2019. The remaining fiscal year, April 11, 2019 through June 30, 2019, is now exempt from taxation per NRS 361.060. Therefore, this request is to remove a portion of the Real Property Taxes from the 2018/19 tax roll and to refund the amount of any taxes already paid for the same fiscal year past the April 11, 2019 date.

Finance
