The next Carson City Board of Supervisors meeting will be held Thursday, June 20, 2025, beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Bob Crowell Board Room of the Community Center located at 851 E. William St. 

Here are some highlights from the meeting, and be sure to check out the full agenda at the bottom for all the meeting’s items! 

Library trustees

Four of the five seats for the Library Board of Trustees are up for grabs. Trustees typically serve up to two four-year terms, but when trustees leave early, their partial term positions must be filled for shorter terms.

Two appointments for a four-year term to the Library Board of Trustees will be discussed that will expire in June 2029, and one partial appointment that will expire in 2026, and another partial that will expire in June 2027.

Two of the four are due to trustees’ four-year terms expiring; Sarena Nichols and Betts Markle were appointed to the board in June 2021 and their terms expire this month. Both have applied for reappointment. 

The third and fourth vacancies are due to trustees resigning prior to their terms conclusions. 

New applications were submitted by Kelly Bennett-Unger, Casey Otto, Reena Spansail, Edward  Skudlarek, John Talkington, Anne Lenhares, Lisa Jones, Nancy Scott, Griffin Peralta, Cherie Mathis and Robert Moore.

Second readings

On second reading, supervisors will discuss an ordinance modifying the plan for the Downtown Neighborhood Improvement District that will remove the DNID board from administering the district and instead put the administration under the city’s purview.

On second reading, an ordinance approving a tentative Planned Unit Development (PUD) and associate change from multi-family apartment and public regional to MFA-PUD, creating 240 single family townhomes off Morgan Mill Road. 

Finance & Contracts

A temporary interfund loan from the Regional Transportation Fund to the Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) fund for an amount not to exceed $481,000 and from the general fund to the transit fund in an amount $685,000 to bridge a temporary cash shortage while awaiting grant reimbursement. 

A contract extension between the city and Nevada Department of Corrections will be discussed in the amount of $128,000 for inmate maintenance services within Carson City’s parks and public spaces. The contract amendment would extend the contract through June 30, 2029. 

A contract between the Sheriff’s Office and Axon Enterprise Inc. will be discussed for body worn cameras, car cameras, video, and associated digital storage for a total not to exceed amount of $5.51 million and a contingency amount of $285,425 for a total not to exceed amount of $5.8 million. The contract, if approved, will continue through July 2035. 

From the city manager’s office, a collective bargaining agreement will be discussed regarding the full-time grant funded and contract funded wildland firefighters, to permit general funds to be expended toward the firefighters.
