Public Meetings - Carson City, Nevada

Meeting called to order at 9:30 AM by Chair Shuddy with Vice Chair Lambon present, constituting a quorum. The committee reviewed the Public Guardian Asset Management Assessment, closed a prior audit finding, received an update on the FY26 audit work program, and discussed the proposed FY27 internal audit plan including a potential swap of the franchise fee assessment for a sales tax completeness audit. All votes were unanimous. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes (Agenda Item 4): Motion to accept minutes from the previous meeting. Seconded. All in favor, no opposition or abstentions. Minutes approved. Discussion Items - 5A – Public Guardian Asset Management Assessment: Senior Manager Audrey Donovan and Kathy from ID Bailey presented the review. The assessment covered FY2025-2026 and found adequate controls and processes to safeguard ward assets, with no exceptions in transaction completeness or accuracy. Two findings were identified: (1) policies and procedures need formal updating and ownership assignment, and (2) review and oversight controls need better documentation to demonstrate consistent application. Management (Public Guardian Sandra and Deputy Public Guardian) agreed with recommendations and have already implemented or are implementing corrective actions, including completion of a five-volume standard office procedures manual, purchase of preparer/approval stamps, and working with IT to adjust QuickBooks user profiles within 30 days. Audit committee members praised the significant improvement from over 20 findings in the prior audit. - 5B – Closure of Previous Audit Finding: Discussion on closing Finding 1 from the asset management review (capital asset disposals presentation to the board). CFO Sherry Russell reported that her initial plan to present disposals during the budget cycle did not proceed; the board preferred to see them with the audit. She presented the disposals on May 21, 2026, and will continue presenting in December with the audit going forward. A spelling error noted by committee member Lisa will be corrected. The committee approved closure. - 5C – FY26 Audit Work Program Update and Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Hotline Activity: Audrey Donovan reported that all FY26 engagements (risk assessment update, Public Guardian assessment, capital asset accounting, credit card payment security/compliance) are completed on track and on budget. Final invoice of approximately $17,000 remains from the $110,000 budget. The fraud, waste, and abuse hotline has had no reported activity since October 2025. - 5D – FY27 Risk Assessment and Internal Audit Plan Recommendation: Sherry Russell proposed swapping the franchise fee assessment (originally in the plan) with a sales tax completeness audit focusing on auto sales and other major categories, contingent on obtaining data from the state (company names to identify missing taxpayers). If data cannot be obtained, the franchise fee assessment will proceed. Audrey Donovan advised that reducing scope on other engagements (cybersecurity, fire department) is not feasible as they are already at minimums. The committee discussed and then motioned to recommend to the Board of Supervisors the FY27 internal audit work program with the potential change as discussed on the record. Motion seconded and passed unanimously. - 5E – Next Meeting Date: Scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, 2026, to align with the start of the annual audit. The date was confirmed to work for all members and ID Bailey. Key Outcomes - Approved the Public Guardian Asset Management Assessment report as presented (unanimous vote). - Closed prior audit finding on capital asset disposals (Finding 1) (unanimous vote). - Recommended to the Board of Supervisors the FY27 internal audit work program, with the understanding that the franchise fee assessment will be swapped for a sales tax completeness audit if state data is obtainable; otherwise, the original franchise fee assessment remains (unanimous motion). - Set next Audit Committee meeting for October 20, 2026.

On June 15, 2026, the Open Space Advisory Committee and Parks and Recreation Commission held a joint meeting at 5:30 PM. The meeting included public comments, approval of minutes, presentations from community partners, updates on ongoing projects, and a director's report. Key topics included the Friends of Silver Saddle Ranch, the Nevada Starry Skies dark sky certification program, and the Carson River Master Plan update. Several personnel achievements and budget items were also recognized. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes: The minutes from the Open Space Advisory Committee meeting of April 20, 2026, and the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting (date not specified) were approved by voice vote with all in favor. Public Comments & Testimony - Monique (resident): Expressed concern about the potential development of a privately owned parcel at Lompa Ranch, which she described as a lovely pasture with a barn and windmill. She requested guidance on how to protect the land as open space and thanked staff (Jennifer Budge and Lindsay Boyer) for their assistance in getting started. - Denny French (Carson City resident): Expressed support for the Friends of Silver Saddle Ranch and called for clearer definitions between park and open space uses. He urged consideration of monarch butterfly corridors and migratory birds, advocated for dark sky compliance, and cautioned against “parkinizing” open spaces with structures that lack contextual design. He also noted that the department director should identify herself as both Parks and Recreation and Open Space. Discussion Items - Friends of Silver Saddle Ranch (FOSS Ranch) Update: Mike Drews, President of FOSS Ranch, presented the group’s activities and future plans. The organization, incorporated in 2001, maintains the historical significance of the ranch and supports restoration and education. Membership has grown to 72 individuals and 10 corporate sponsors. Recent volunteer efforts included ranch cleanups (15 volunteers putting in 60 hours in 2025; 11 volunteers in 2026), weeding and replanting at the Red House, and painting the south outhouse. The group provides wagon rides, participates in community events (e.g., Kids to Park Day, Jazz and Beyond, Christmas open house), and partners with park rangers. Future projects include restoring the Red House siding, improving irrigation, creating a community garden using donated water rights, and engaging with FFA/4H programs. Commissioners and committee members expressed strong support and commendation for the group’s volunteer work. - Nevada Starry Skies Certification Presentation: Chelsea Kinchlow, Program Officer with the Nevada Division of Outdoor Recreation, presented the Nevada Starry Skies certification program—the first state-level dark sky certification in the nation. She explained that light pollution impacts wildlife and human health, and that 80% of the world experiences artificial light at night. Silver Saddle Ranch has about 20 lights (15 operational), and sky quality measurements taken in May 2025 showed a median of 19.97 magnitudes per square arc second (suburban/rural transition level, 4 on the Bortle scale). The certification process requires creating a lighting management plan, retrofitting lights with shields, dimmers, and warm tones. Commissioners asked about security, tourism figures, and the impact of LED lights. The program currently focuses on three areas: Gerlach, Carson City, and Wild Horse State Recreation Area. - Carson River Master Plan Update: Marina Lovejoy, Senior Natural Resource Specialist, provided an update on the 2026 update of the Carson River Master Plan. The original 1996 plan focused on public access and land acquisition along the Carson River; to date, 11 miles of river corridor and 5,000 acres have been protected. The update, initiated in 2022 and currently in the editing phase, is supported by the National Park Service and Carson Water Subconservancy District. Outreach included a public survey (300 responses), a technical expert survey (21 responses), a public open house (40 attendees), and a float trip. The draft plan will address five themes: outdoor recreation, natural and cultural resource stewardship, education and outreach, water quality and conservation, and collaboration and partnerships. Recommended actions will be prioritized with cost estimates and timelines. Commissioners discussed potential land acquisitions, user conflicts, and the importance of the river corridor. The final draft is expected at the next joint meeting. - Director’s Report: Jennifer Budge, Parks and Recreation Director, reported on several items: - Fiscal Year 2027 Budget: Approved by the Board of Supervisors, includes reinvestment in lighting at Centennial Park, $10,000 for updating municipal codes (1302 and 1306), and funding to hire a consultant for Parks & Rec Master Plan and Open Space Plan updates. - Vacant Positions: Seasonal positions mostly filled; park ranger and park project manager positions open. - Federal Lands Bill: Passed the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources—farthest it has progressed in eight years. - Seahill Flag Dedication: Completed on June 14, 2026, with over $60,000 in donations and countless volunteer hours.

The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) met on June 10, 2026, to approve minutes, award multiple construction contracts, discuss an Access Management Plan update, and receive staff reports. All action items were approved unanimously. Consent Calendar - Minutes of May 13, 2026: Approved unanimously. - Contract 273-00013 – Nevada Barricade and Sign Company: Awarded as the lowest responsive bidder for a total of $274,159.

Public Comments & Testimony - No public comments were offered during opening or on any agenda item. Discussion Items - Access Management Plan Update (Agenda Item 5D): Transportation and Traffic Engineer Casey Sylvester presented proposed draft tables and language for updating the city's access management regulations. The presentation covered road classification (proposing to reference NDOT functional classifications and remove industrial as a classification), intersection and driveway spacing, sight distance, auxiliary lanes, median turn restrictions, network connectivity, and right-of-way. Key discussion points: - Commissioners asked for real-world examples of how the proposed spacings would impact existing and future developments. Staff cited Appian Way, the Sinclair gas station at College Parkway, and Silver Oak as cases where current code lacked tools to prevent poorly spaced access points. - Commissioner Maloney emphasized the need to distinguish between guidelines, policy, and code, cautioning against overly restrictive requirements that could burden small businesses or redevelopment projects. She suggested using guidelines to clarify expectations rather than adding code hurdles. - Mayor Bagwell and Commissioner Costa raised concerns about unintended consequences for existing businesses seeking to expand, and the difficulty of applying new standards to redevelopment. They requested staff include a grace period and conduct listening sessions with the development community before finalizing. - Staff noted that the proposed thresholds (e.g., 80 vehicles per hour for requiring multiple accesses) were based on existing traffic impact study triggers, but Commissioner Maloney pointed out that a typical Chick-fil-A averages 120 vehicles per hour, so such thresholds could inadvertently prevent popular restaurants. - Commissioners supported removing industrial as a functional classification but preserving its consideration via a footnote for right-of-way width in industrial zones. - Staff indicated the draft document would be refined based on direction and brought back for future review; no action was taken on this item. Key Outcomes - All action items (contract awards and resolutions) were approved unanimously. - No July 2026 RTC meeting is scheduled due to lack of items. - Staff will incorporate direction from the Access Management Plan discussion, including conducting a workshop with the development community, evaluating redevelopment triggers, and clarifying whether elements will be adopted as code, policy, or guidelines. A revised draft will return to the RTC at a later date. - The Appian Way traffic signal project is scheduled to start construction in late June 2026, with signal activation anticipated in a few months. Commissioners expressed mixed feelings, with Mayor Bagwell reiterating safety concerns and questioning potential traffic congestion impacts.

The Carson City School District Board of Trustees met on June 9, 2026, to discuss end-of-year activities, proposed curriculum adoptions, revisions to the recess policy, an update on substitute staffing services, and approval of metrics for the superintendent's goals. The meeting included public comment, board reports, and several unanimous votes. Consent Calendar - The board unanimously adopted the agenda and later approved the consent agenda (items 1 and 13). Public Comments & Testimony - Mary Ann Giddens spoke against proposed changes to the recess policy. She expressed full support for keeping the current policy that guarantees three 15-minute recesses per day (morning, lunch, afternoon). She argued that the proposed policy and regulation do not align and that removing specific minute guarantees would harm students. She urged the board to protect recess minutes. Discussion Items - Superintendent's Report (Item 3): Superintendent Fueling reported on the conclusion of the school year, highlighting graduation ceremonies, the Carson High grad walk, and a statewide superintendent conference.

No action was taken (discussion only). - Recess Policy and Regulation (Items 8 & 9): Christy Perkins presented proposed changes to Policy 260 and a new Regulation 260. The policy would be shortened, with details moved to the regulation. Key points: 45 minutes of daily recess, not to be withheld for academic or punitive reasons, but allowing structured interventions for behavioral concerns. Board members suggested amendments: specifying three recesses (morning, lunch, afternoon) in both policy and regulation, limiting the use of recess for interventions to 15 minutes (not “or more”), ensuring trained staff implement strategies, and adding language for indoor recess days. The item was for first reading only; no vote was taken. - EduStaff Substitute Staffing Update (Item 10): Dan Sadler provided an informational update on the partnership with EduStaff. Fill rates improved from 67–82% in prior years to 94.1% in 2025–26. The substitute pool grew from 94 to 226. Total substitute expenditures for 2025–26 were $1,634,130, down from the previous year.

Board members discussed costs, teacher attendance, and the need for staff feedback on substitute quality. - Superintendent Goals Metrics (Item 11): Superintendent Fueling presented proposed metrics for his 2026 calendar year goals, including full implementation of MTSS tracking at elementary schools, baseline and follow-up PLC perception surveys, progress on a strategic plan, and a bill draft request for the 2027 legislative session.

These changes will be incorporated before a future vote. - Future Agenda Items Requested: Trustee Roberts requested a plan for tracking staff attendance at PLCs under the new calendar, with quarterly updates. Trustee Varner requested an explanation of large budget transfers (e.g., $1.7 million).

This administrative hearing, conducted by the Hearing Examiner, was held to consider one action item: an application for an administrative permit to construct an attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on a single-family one-acre (SF1A) zoned property. Public Comments & Testimony - No public comments were offered during either of the two public comment periods. Discussion Items - LU-2026-0065 – ADU Permit at 4079 Ponderosa Drive: The applicant, Christopher Moreno, requested an administrative permit to build a 600-square-foot attached ADU above an existing garage. The property is zoned SF1A. The applicant described plans for multiple shed roofs (3:12 pitch) that would match the existing aesthetic, noting the ADU would be the first phase of a larger home renovation. The applicant had reviewed the staff report and agreed to the conditions of approval. The Hearing Examiner asked clarifying questions about the roof design, and the applicant confirmed the plans were cohesive. Key Outcomes - Approval: The Hearing Examiner approved Administrative Permit LU-2026-0065, based on the findings and subject to the conditions of approval contained in the staff report. No vote was taken as the Hearing Examiner is a single decision-maker. - Next Steps: The applicant may proceed with construction of the ADU per the approved conditions, followed by subsequent permits for the main house renovation.
