The Carson City Board of Supervisors met on Thursday, September 17, 2026, beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Bob Crowell Board Room. The meeting included public comment, special presentations, approval of a consent agenda, appointments, grant applications, policy reports, and a memorandum of understanding for a bike park. The board took unanimous action on all items.
16a. CTA Appointment: Two candidates were interviewed for the hotel/motel industry seat on the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority: Sam Molzingo and Ben Baggett. The board asked about tourism challenges, the city’s identity, and how they would evaluate sponsorship requests. Both candidates emphasized attracting multi-day visitors. The board selected Sam Molzingo for a two-year term (unanimous).
17a. MOST Grant Application: The Sheriff’s Office applied for the 2023 Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program Grant to support the Mobile Outreach Safety Team (MOST). Funds would purchase an electronic medical record system (Julata), a third unmarked vehicle, and an 18-month contract program manager to identify gaps in crisis response. Discussion focused on HIPAA compliance and data security. Supervisors Giomi and White raised concerns about privacy policies and long-term funding. The board unanimously authorized the Sheriff to submit the application and execute grant documents if awarded.
18a. Drug Testing Trends Report: The Alternative Sentencing Department presented Q2 2026 data. In quarter two, 43,063 assays were run with 946 positives (2.2% overall). THC had 330 positives (7.4% positivity, declining 36% from April to June). Amphetamine had 159 positives (declining 41%). Buprenorphine had the highest positivity rate (8–10.9%) but was primarily from prescribed Suboxone. Alcohol (EtG) positivity peaked in May. A total of 4,521 specimens were collected from approximately 85–90 individuals per day. Staff agreed to add discrete individual counts in future reports.
19a. CDBG CAPER: Staff presented the 2025-2026 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, summarizing accomplishments including the Carmine’s ADA improvement project. The report was available for public comment through September 24; the board approved it before the comment period ended due to federal delays, with the understanding that any comments would be appended. Unanimous approval.
20a. Bike Park MOU: Muscle Powered proposed a Memorandum of Understanding to plan, fundraise, and design a bike park at Centennial Park at no cost to the city. The facility would be inclusive (adaptive riders, all ages) and built to IMBA guidelines. No city funding is committed; a maintenance reserve will be funded before any phase opens. The MOU was unanimously approved.
Uh Brie, can I have a roll call, please? Supervisor Geomi. Supervisor White. Supervisor Horton. Supervisor Shooty. Here. Mayor Bagwell. Here. A quorum is present. Thank you so much. And then already ready to get us started this morning is uh Pastor Peggy today, sometimes the husband. I love it. Get us started today. Thank you. Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. Almighty God, Father in Heaven, we praise your name, and we're thankful for the privilege to gather together this morning and commit our time to you. We ask for your wisdom and discernment upon our board of supervisors as they work together and make decisions that will affect the people of our beloved city. We invite your presence in our midst. Lead and guide us, we pray. To those who are weary, we ask for a renewing of strength and endurance. Bless our families and our co-workers, and to those in attendance today. Amen. Perfect. My name is Jeannie Elder. I am a Carson City resident, and I live on Parkland Avenue. My concern today is that our little beloved street that used to be Coltizac is now a runway all the way to Little Lane. Our 25 mile an hour has gone to 40 miles an hour, and nobody slows down. We have children, we have animals, and we have deer that frequent our neighborhood constantly. So I'm coming to you to see if I can get help because I love my neighborhood. We have a beautiful neighborhood. Elderly neighbors, and I'm just trying to get things fixed. Sorry, I'm a little nervous. And the other thing is we have like 15 feral cats. I don't know if there's anything that you can do about those because they're what do they call them? They have a name for them. Anyway, they keep having babies, and we have 15 of them, and they use our yards to, you know, which everybody needs to go somewhere, but anyway. Um but my main concern is the speed limit. Since they built the little lane housing, our street is like a runway. Even the even the waste management truck goes about 40 miles an hour down the road. And it is a 25 mile an hour street. So if there's absolutely anything at all that can be done about that, I would love to see that done, you know, to protect our street neighborhood. Okay, thank you. Thank you. You did great. Thank you. Um I don't have anyone else signed up at the beginning of the meeting, but is there any other Danny? Hello, Denny French, Carson City, Nevada. I'm here and today, in spite of myself. My hope is that I will get a chance to talk to the people in this community that are dealing with uh the basic issues of individuals' lives from their health to their passing.
