At a special meeting Nov. 18, starting at 8:30 a.m. in the community center, the Board of Supervisors will canvass the vote for the 2022 general election.
State law requires the board to meet and canvass returns on or before the 10th day following the election, which was held Nov. 8.
Carson City Clerk-Recorder Aubrey Rowlatt will present results for the canvassing. It is her last election as clerk-recorder as she is retiring from the position.
At their regular meeting Nov. 17, which starts at 8:30 a.m., supervisors will consider a request from the Carson City Deputy District Attorney Association to be recognized as an employee union and bargaining unit.
According to the staff summary by Nancy Paulson, city manager, state law prohibits attorneys in the civil division of the District Attorney’s Office from such membership. The association includes attorneys in the criminal and juvenile divisions.
Supervisors will also consider:
• The second reading for an ordinance changing the definition of a hotel in city code from a building with six or more guest rooms to a building with three or more guest rooms.
The applicant, Sarah Martin, is renovating the Rinckel Mansion on North Curry Street into a historic inn. The board unanimously approved the first reading in October.
• The second reading of an ordinance to add breweries and tasting rooms as conditional uses in the tourist commercial zoning district.
Shoe Tree Brewery off Old Hot Springs Road is seeking to renovate a warehouse on an adjoining parcel into a brewery and tasting room, hoping to double beer production.
The board approved the first reading 4-1 in October with Supervisor Maurice White voting no.
• A proposed resolution to transfer Carson City’s 2023 private activity bond volume cap to the director of the Nevada Department of Business and Industry for construction of phase 2 of Sierra Flats apartments, located at 3320 Butti Way.
According to the staff summary by Hope Sullivan, community development director, the city may allocate a share of state money set aside for “tax exempt loans to fund industrial development and affordable housing projects.”
“This program provides lower-interest financing for eligible projects and the bond cap can be transferred to the director,” the summary says.
The allocation would help fund construction of phase 2, including 80 units of affordable housing. The exact dollar amount will not be clear until spring. The city’s share of the 2022 bond cap was $3.1 million.
