The Carson City Board of Supervisors on Thursday will consider a resolution conveying three acres of Park Terrace Park to the Carson City School District for the benefit of Empire Elementary School.
The meeting starts at 8:30 a.m. in the community center board room.
“CCSD is seeking to expand the Empire Elementary School campus by approximately three acres to provide for more physical education and recreational space for their students,” reads the agenda. “Park Terrace Park is approximately 5.4 acres and would be reduced to 2.4 acres after the proposed LLA.”
“LLA” stands for lot line adjustment.
“If approved, CCSD would fund all improvements and costs associated with the land transfer, including fencing with a public access gate, irrigation and maintenance needs,” according to the agenda. “Staff recommends transferring the property to the CCSD at no cost, subject to conditions including public use, reversion to the city if public use ceases, and public access and recreational use by the public when the field is not being used for CCSD purposes.”
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended approval of the proposal April 2.
“While there is no fiscal impact to the city with the approval of the LLA, it will reduce staff time required at the park related to turf and irrigation maintenance tasks,” reads a staff report.
In April, CCSD Superintendent Andrew Feuling said Empire, at 6.5 acres, is the smallest school within the district in terms of acreage.
In other action:
• Supervisors will consider a bill draft request (BDR) for the upcoming 2025 Nevada legislative session.
According to state law, the city is allowed to submit one BDR by Sept. 1.
“Staff will present information to the Board of Supervisors on possible subjects for a BDR, including the Virginia & Truckee Railroad Commission and a retail delivery fee,” according to the agenda.
A conceptual list included in supporting materials for the meeting shows the city considering eliminating or reducing its involvement in the V&T Railroad operations through legislative means. Regarding the retail delivery fee, the idea was explored by the Nevada Association of Counties, the document says.
“However, the idea was tabled after NACO membership agreed that such a proposal should come from an individual legislator or committee,” according to the city document.
Colorado has such a fee on deliveries by motor vehicles, and “the retailer or marketplace facilitator that collects the sales or use tax on the tangible personal property sold and delivered, including delivery by a third party, is liable to remit the retail delivery fee,” the document says.
• Supervisors will consider the city’s 2024 Language Access Plan.
“Assembly Bill 266 (2023) requires Carson City to develop an LAP that assesses the existing needs of its residents for language services and the degree to which the city has met those needs, with a particular focus on the needs of residents who are Limited English Proficient (LEP), as described and defined in AB 266,” reads the agenda. “The city's LAP also includes an inventory of language services currently available to Carson City residents and an overview of the training and resources provided to Carson City employees that interact with LEP residents.”
