The Carson City Board of Supervisors will meet Feb. 3 at 8:30 a.m. for their regular meeting. Beginning at 5 p.m., they will consider three appeals of the Carson Valley Meats animal processing facility that the Planning Commission approved in December.

The proposed development is located near Highway 50 and Detroit Road. All the appellants claim that a slaughterhouse at that location will infringe on the use, peaceful enjoyment, value, or development of properties in the neighborhood, which violates a condition of the slaughterhouse’s approval.

The supervisors will decide whether the Planning Commission was justified in their approval of Carson Valley Meats’ application.

Public comment opportunities will be held at the beginning and end of the meeting, so residents who would like to comment on the appeals will need to arrive for the 8:30 a.m. portion of the meeting or wait until the end of the meeting, after the appeals have been deliberated.

Alternatively, residents may submit public comment to publiccomment@carson.org by 3 p.m. Wednesday.

The board will meet in the Robert “Bob” Crowell Board Room at the Community Center on 851 E. William St.

Among their other agenda items, the supervisors will also consider:
• A recommended property tax rate and assumptions for the fiscal year 2023 budget.
• An emergency ordinance to issue general obligation refunding bonds in an amount not to exceed $1.8 million. This matter is being presented as an emergency ordinance so that the city can issue the bonds in time to secure a better interest rate, projected to save the city over $140,000. It must be passed unanimously by the board.
• Issuance of no more than $16.7 million in bonds for improvements to the water system and refinancing of other city obligations. Issuance of capital improvement bonds not to exceed $8.1 million to fund a new fire station and dispatch center.
• Administrative changes to the municipal code. The District Attorney’s office is completing a comprehensive review and rewrite of the code for consistency, so they are proposing that the city add a preface explaining general administrative provisions of the code.
• Agreements for Carson City’s participation in an opioid settlement.
