Page 12 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

Motion carried.

City Clerk Turney read the letter into the record.

Mayor Schieve closed the public comment portion of the hearing.

Council Member Bobzien said that this is the first time he has seen the letter, and it raises significant concerns.

Mayor Schieve asked if the Clergy has met with the Reno Housing Authority (RHA).

Amy Jones, Executive Director of the RHA, said that she has reached out to Glenn Taylor, Reverend Thomas and Bishop Wynn. I also tried to reach out to DeSean, but I was unsure of his last name.

Council Member Delgado said that his name is DeSean Horne, and he spoke during public comment at the January 24, 2017 meeting.

Council Member Bobzien stated that this is slippery territory to enter into, and smacks of "he said," "she said." I believe the productive thing to do is for the parties to get together for a discussion. The party that wrote the letter is not here in the room, and we do not have the opportunity to engage them in the conversation.

Mayor Schieve asked if the RHA went to the Neighborhood Advisory Board (NAB), and Ms. Jones replied that they did reach out to the NAB. Ms. Jones said that the NAB had no negative comments about the project.

Council Member McKenzie made the following disclosure: "Fellow City Council Members and Madam Clerk, in the interest of full transparency, on item F.2, I am disclosing the fact I manage Carville Parks Apartments on behalf of the Building Trades Council Development Corporation (“BTCDC”). The Reno Housing Authority is requesting the zone change. The BTCDC is under contract with the Reno Housing Authority to provide affordable housing at the Carville Parks Apartments. On this matter I have sought guidance from the City Attorney’s Office. The public policy of this State favors the right of a public officer to perform the duties for which the public officer was elected or appointed and to vote or otherwise act upon a matter, provided the public officer has properly disclosed the potential conflict. In that light, I believe the fact that I manage the Carville Parks Apartments on behalf of the BTCDC may impair my ability to impartially review or render a decision upon this particular agenda item, and that a reasonable person in a similar situation would be required to refrain from participating or voting on this item. Madam Clerk, please accept

Page 13 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

this disclosure and lodge it on the record for this meeting and subsequent meetings pertaining to this agenda item."

COUNCIL MEMBER MCKENZIE ABSENT AT 2:12 P.M.

Jeff Borchardt, Community Development Associate Planner, provided an overview of the staff report.

Angela Fuss, Lumos and Associates, representing the applicant, provided a detailed overview of the proposed zoning map amendment and intended future use of the property.

Ms. Jones discussed the services provided by the RHA.

Eric Novak, Praxis Consulting Group, Associate Director of the Affordable Housing Resources Council, discussed the proposed affordable housing project.

Council Member Delgado said that the spoke with Ms. Jones and advised her of the concerns. He said that broad, deep concerns about the process and how we got here today remain.

Discussion ensued regarding scheduling a meeting to discuss the outstanding issues.

Mayor Schieve encouraged the Clergy to reach out to all of the Council Members.

It was moved by Council Member Delgado, seconded by Council Member Bobzien, to continue this item to 1:00 p.m. on February 28, 2018.

Motion carried with Council Member McKenzie absent and abstaining.

Mike Draper submitted an online public comment form in support of the amendments, but did not wish to speak.

Heather Manzo, Community Development Assistant Planner, provided an overview of the staff report.

Council Member McKenzie noted that this area is currently zoned and master planned as Industrial, and asked what process the landowner would have to go through to start building industrial buildings on the site.

Ms. Manzo said that currently the areas that are zoned Industrial, if they do not about a residentially zoned property, could come in through a building permit. There are some thresholds that would require additional review, say a project of regional significance, but in general, a building permit would be the starting point.

Council Member McKenzie said that many of the communications the Council received stated that this land should stay vacant, and I want the public to know that the landowners could be building industrial buildings without coming before the Council for approval. It was their choice to bring forward a Planned Unit Development (PUD), which may be a better use for the land than Industrial. Another issue raised in the correspondence we received, and which was brought up several times during public comment today, is flooding. There is a discussion regarding drainage in the PUD Handbook, but no discussion about flood mitigation. I would like staff to explain the process used for addressing those issues.

Ms. Manzo and Janelle Thomas, Senior Civil Engineer, explained the flood mitigation process.

Page 20 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

Council Member McKenzie and Ms. Thomas discussed the improvements to Highway 395 and how they will correspond to the various phases of the project.

Council Member Duerr addressed the public's concerns regarding flooding, water resources, fire suppression funding issues, and mule deer habitat protection. She also discussed the developers' proposal for a light rail line.

Ms. Manzo confirmed for Council Member Jardon that this is the first time an applicant/developer has imposed restrictions on their own project to address traffic concerns.

Council Member Jardon noted that Council Member McKenzie has been working tirelessly on this issue for two years.

Council Member Brekhus and Ms. Manzo discussed housing types proposed in the project. Ms. Manzo stated staff recommended 30 dwelling units per acre in the town center. Council Member Brekhus discussed her belief that this type of housing is already planned in other tentative maps and that it is not needed. Additionally, Council Member Brekhus and Ms. Manzo fiscal impact analysis and budget issues. Ms. Brekhus said that she is uncomfortable with the condition of the roads.

Council Member Brekhus and John Enloe, Operational Strategies Manager for the Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), discussed the drilling of on-site wells by the developer, and the provision of Truckee River water should there be an issue with Fish Springs water.

Ms. Thomas responded to Council Member Brekhus' questions regarding the proposed drainage district. She indicated the handbook includes the language for the drainage district. Council Member Brekhus responded that she does not feel this approach is appropriate moving forward.

Council Member McKenzie and Ms. Thomas discussed language to be added to Section III.j. regarding alternative street sections, and drainageway issues. Ms. Thomas gave additional information to the lighting and that language be added to include sustainable growth. The drainage language was added to maintain open drainage ways.

Council Member Bobzien discussed depreciation for property taxes and the impacts of the current calculation on services. He indicated a fiscal analysis was conducted and the review from staff and the developer has been an important discussion. Council Member Bobzien discussed tying traffic improvements to the

Page 21 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

phases of the project.

Dwayne Smith, Director of Engineering and Capital Projects for Washoe County, discussed sewer capacity and connection fee issues.

Council Member Brekhus asked questions regarding the rate schedule for sewer. Mr. Smith discussed the wastewater rate structure, collection system, and the current agreement.

Council Member McKenzie and Mr. Smith discussed treated effluent issues and agreements. Council Member McKenzie would like to see effluent water used for irrigation; Mr. Smith discussed a collaborative effort regionally to look at alternatives for a more sustainable approach for the water.

Council Member Delgado and Andy Bass, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, discussed park utilization and maintenance issues, including Residential Construction Tax (RCT) collection. Mr. Bass addressed the agreement and that the developer may request reimbursement for park costs once the construction is complete. There will be at least 50 acres of parks pursuant to the agreement.

Council Member McKenzie and Angela Fuss, representing the applicant, discussed the acreage set aside for flat fields in the parks agreement. Mr. Bass discussed the necessary size requirements for flat fields for two full sized soccer fields.

In response to Council Member Duerr, Ms. Fuss discussed flood mitigation, changes made to the project drainage analysis, and fire suppression concessions made by the applicant. The applicant will be building temporary and permanent fire stations.

Ms. Fuss acknowledged the amount of work and effort staff and Council had put into this project for smart growth and development.

Council Member McKenzie addressed some of the concerns voiced during public comment and the efforts made by the developer to address everyone's concerns.

Mayor Schieve reiterated the amount of work staff and Council Member McKenzie had done over the past two years with this project. Mayor Schieve also discussed the current challenges in the housing market and the importance of smart growth as home prices continue to rise.

Page 22 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

Council Member McKenzie discussed various housing options in the development and the homes being built will aid in increasing supply and driving the price of homes down and will result in more affordable housing in the region.

Council Member Brekhus said that this is not the kind of housing we need. I believe the market will be comprised for services. Council Member Brekhus also discussed her concerns with infrastructure, air quality and suburban sprawl.

Mayor Schieve closed the public hearing.

J.2 Staff Report (For Possible Action): Discussion and potential direction to staff regarding the proposed sale/lease terms "below fair market value" for the three parcels of land located south of the ReTRAC train trench from

Page 30 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

the eastern terminus of Commercial Row under the Wells Avenue Overpass to the Rusty Spike Substation (APN 008-370-33, 011-450-24 and 011-450-25), and the old Wells Avenue bridge, Reno, Nevada. The City would quitclaim its interests to the Redevelopment Agency who would sell/lease them to the Generator Inc., a Nevada 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. 1:30 PM Recommendation: Staff recommends Council provide direction as to the terms and conditions on the leasing of the properties to the Generator, Inc., a Nevada nonprofit organization and direct staff to return to Council with the appropriate documents.

Proposed Motion: I move to approve staff recommendation. A RECESS WAS CALLED AT 12:38 P.M. AND UPON RECONVENING AT 1:30 P.M. ALL WERE PRESENT.

Council Member Brekhus stated her belief that maintaining the public's right to at all times traverse the bridge on a stable, almost Americans with Disabilities (ADA) compliant, path all the way down to the Commercial Row cul-de-sac is an important issue. I heard someone comment that the public could go down along the river bank. I think if someone is starting out at Harrah's Automobile Museum and wants to recreate in that grade-separated environment, they should be able to do so in a very direct manner. I did not see that on the map. Walk-ability is one of our goals.

Bill Thomas, Assistant City Manger, said that the right to traverse the bridge at all times could be wrapped into the terms of the lease.

Council Member Brekhus said that the terms are fine except for the option to sell. She recalled the long-term lease agreement with the Automobile Museum that eventually resulted in the City agreeing to sell the property to them, and said that she would prefer a similar scenario. I would like to proffer a long-term lease agreement and then talk about it if at any time they came forward with an organizational need to acquire the land.

In response to Mayor Schieve, Aric Shapiro and Matt Schultz, representing The Generator, stated that the area is a public park and they want as many people as possible to be there. This gesture from the City will make it easier to engage our investors.

Council Member Duerr stated her preference for a lease versus a sale on all of the properties.

Page 31 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

Lori Miles, Public Works Property Program Technician, said that according to the current plan, two of the properties would be on a lease with an option basis, and the rest would all be leased.

Council Member Duerr stated that she would like for the City to retain ownership of the parcels. I would be willing to enter into a long-term lease, and would not want to have to come back and un-do things if it came to that. She also discussed the Flood Project and possible replacement of the bridge with a walking bridge, and the need to allow the Reno Police Department to continue to park their vehicles under the bridge.

Council Member Delgado thanked Mr. Shapiro and Mr. Schultz for reaching out to the community as they contemplate moving out of Sparks and into Reno.

Mr. Thomas said that the representatives of The Generator are willing to accept a 99-year lease with the provision that it could be shorter if their financiers would be willing to accept a shorter time frame. In other words, it would never be longer than 99 years but it could be less than 99 years if the people who are providing the financing would agree to accept a lesser term. We could always come back with a purchase option.

Council Member Brekhus and Mr. Schultz discussed heirs and successors issues.

Mr. Thomas clarified that the parcels must be perpetually used for a public purpose. It could not be converted into a gas station or a warehouse, for example, without the Council's consent.

Council Member Bobzien stated his confidence that this will be a model for infill development and will liven up the neighborhood with some really unique opportunities.

It was moved by Council Member Bobzien, seconded by Council Member McKenzie, to approve the staff recommendation with the modification of a 99-year term to the lease.

Motion carried.

J.3 Regional Fire Service Delivery Considerations and Alternatives - David Cochran, Fire Chief, City of Reno. (For Possible Action) 11:51 AM COUNCIL MEMBER MCKENZIE PRESENT AT 11:52 A.M.

COUNCIL MEMBER BOBZIEN PRESENT AT 11:52 A.M.

David Cochran, Fire Chief, presented the report.

Mayor Schieve stated her support for the staff recommendations, including the use of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL).

Council Member Brekhus said that she would like to see uniformity across the City of Reno. If we make the decision to annex an area, I want uniformity there. We have two areas we are staffing without our standard four-person crew. In addition, I want us to have rigs that are in really good shape. I believe we are behind in the acquisition of rigs. That is all fiscal. We have temporary fire stations. We are behind in the capital for building those. We have some deficiencies. This AVL sounds terrific and efficient, but if it takes away from moving towards uniformity and filling our deficiencies, then it is not getting us there. The issue is always fiscal, which is where the biggest conversation has to be. The unincorporated areas are within the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District (TMFPD) that has its own dedicated funding source; the funds go straight to fire protection. The City of Reno does not have that. We take 22% to 24% of our General Fund and put that into fire. So we are coming from a deficiency in terms of a dedicated funding source that has been accommodated for

Page 33 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

unincorporated residents. Unincorporated residents do not pay municipal property taxes. Consolidation cannot occur until there is some equalization of the funding sources that constituents pay. We have people paying into different funds and for different standards, and I do not know how you blend those two. That was at the heart of the previous "divorce". I do not think what we did in our Master Plan, to take that a little further if we talk about this AVL, is what are our standards in central neighborhoods, in foothills neighborhoods, in other areas, and understanding what kind of landscape we might be going into. I could see a way forward to much broader organization between us and the TMFPD, and maybe Sparks, if we have the same kind of dedicated funding source that they have. And we need to be very protective and understand the deficiencies that we have and really track that when we are leaving Reno.

Council Member McKenzie said that the AVL is just a tool to help us provide the best service we can for the citizens and community. The issues we have in our community are much bigger than AVL. They argue that they do it in Las Vegas so they should be able to do it here, but there is a lot of difference between what we are dealing with here and what they are dealing with in Las Vegas. Dispatch is just one of the issues. If we went to AVL with our partner agencies today we would have reconfigure dispatch services because you have a single dispatch source under AVL where we are currently working with multiple dispatch services. One of the things that makes it work in Las Vegas is that their departments are all the same. They have the same service levels and the same equipment, they train together and they work together. In essence they are actually one large department. There is a major difference in what we have in northern and southern Nevada. I believe the coordination of assets like they have in southern Nevada is a great idea, but there are some key issues we need to resolve before we can do that. We need to resolve issues such as service levels and coverage and the ability to train together.

Chief Cochran clarified for Council Member Jardon that Reno, Sparks and Washoe County all have AVL, but none of the entities are using the technology to dispatch the AVL.

Council Member Jardon said that training together and knowing how each of the entities operates would be a benefit to the community. We are obligated to attempt to remove human error if it means shaving off a couple of seconds in response time. The question is how to fiscally handle the imbalance, but we need to explore and pursue these types of opportunities whenever possible. I agree with Council Member Brekhus that we need to track the responses should we agree to move forward.

Page 34 Minutes Reno City Council February 14, 2018

Mayor Schieve stated the importance of being the ones to shape the City of Reno's vision on this rather than letting the Legislature be the ones to decide.

Council Member Duerr said that she echoed her colleagues' comments. We need to be sure that we share resources and deploy as efficiently as possible, and we need to come together on a common training platform right away.

Council Member Delgado stated that everyone wants to see a regional approach because it provides cost benefits and efficiency, as well as an opportunity to work closely with our colleagues at the County.

Mayor Schieve called for public comment.

Christina Conti, 1001 East 9th Street, representing the Washoe County Health District, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Oversight Program and the District Health Officer, Kevin Dick, discussed their support for moving forward with the strategic planning items and the use of Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) for dispatching.

It was moved by Council Member Brekhus, seconded by Council Member Bobzien, to direct staff to move forward with the exploration of options available on a closest resource or regional response model and incorporating AVL as a methodology.

Council Member Brekhus stated that fiscal equity and uniformity within the City of Reno are priority issues.

Motion carried.
