Carson City Continues to Plan for the
How does a City retain and attract
clean, stable industry, preserve its natural environment, continue to develop
economic diversity, hold down property taxes, and maintain its high quality
of life? It begins with strategic planning. In the next several weeks, a
process which began more than two
years ago will reveal the vision of a
dozens of Carson City residents who,
for the last six months, met talked,
researched, listened, speculated, debated, dreamed, and worked long hours
for no pay. These are the results of the
volunteers and Carson City staff who
make up committees of the Carson
City Economic Vitality Strategic Plan
about to go public.
It’s about maximizing the potential
of technology, balancing the issues of
business needs with consumer desires,
creating jobs that will last and feed a
communities body and soul, highways
that highways that have nothing to do
with cars and everything to do with
“cutting edge” advantages, and making a bright future with adventure,
invention, and design.
The process has included the creation of the Northern Nevada
Telecommunications Alliance, telecommunications issues focusing just on
Carson City, and a comprehensive economic development plan to study
Carson City job/industry development, freeway corridor development, and
downtown historical and redevelopment issues.
Telecommunications..more than just talk
Think of the infrastructure of the internet as a railroad of the mid-1800’s.
If your city isn’t on the line, it’s going to suffer economically. Well, there’s
an intercontinental railway of fiber optics, cellular towers, and high stakes
being played out here in the West. Without a piece of the action, Carson
City and its businesses, government interests, and private citizens will find
themselves at a disadvantage.
Says Jeff Ritter, President of Technomethods, an Oregon -based consulting firm, “With access to the latest technologies to keep pace with other
urban areas, Carson City can compete with other communities like San
Francisco and San Jose” for highly competitive new business markets.
But, says Ritter, there must be a balance between maximizing public
benefit with minimizing disruption of right-of-ways and negative impact
on the community.
“What we want is to create a level playing field for providers, help
ensure companies disclose the price they will charge for all services, and
give consumers a choice,” Ritter adds.
For a quick grasp of this complicated industry and the economic ramifications that are fueling the complex issues, consider that:
• Large businesses and organizations will have an increasing need for
direct access to fiber optic cable (other cities like Anaheim, CA have made
such an infrastructure directly accessible to businesses).
• Installation means trenching public right-of-way along highways, each
time for each company’s installation, repeated construction means repeated traffic disruption.
• Cellular towers are individually owned and need space and height to
work best.
• There are almost no regulations concerning this relatively new industry in terms of competitive pricing, accessible pricing information, or
future expansion plans or restrictions.
• Government, business, and individual consumers are vying for space
on the internet.
• Government and business demand clean, fast, competitively priced
internet service.
• There is a general lack of service competition for telephone, certain
types of broadband and fiber optic cable leasing.
• It will be increasingly difficult to recruit companies from urban markets unless businesses can compare prices and establish direct access to
network components like they can in other cities.
With so much riding on the telecommunications infrastructure, Carson
City and other communities are exploring the future of installations here in
northern Nevada, and becoming educated about the industry and the economic impact well-planned telecommunications can offer.
“This whole focus gives us the long view of the future of Carson City,”
says City Manager John Berkich. “We’re looking to position Carson City
for the future, to become and remain competitive with communities outside of Nevada.”
“This economic vitality plan,” adds Berkich, “speaks directly to the
three elements of a successful community--developing a strong and diversified economy, maintaining a high quality of life, and preserving our natural environment.

BE KIND TO YOUR
“BEST FRIEND”
A dog’s normal body temperature is 101.5 to 102.2 degrees
Fahrenheit. A dog can withstand a body temperature of
107-108 degrees Fahrenheit
for only a very short time
before suffering irreparable brain damage, or even
death. The closed car
interferes with the dog’s
normal cooling process,
that is, evaporation through
panting.
O
n a hot summer day, the
inside of a car heats very quickly. On an 85 degree day, for
example, the temperature inside
your car - with the windows
slightly opened - will reach 102
degrees in 10 minutes. In 30
minutes, it will go up to 120
degrees. On wanner days it will
go up even higher.
IF YOUR DOG IS OVERCOME BY HEAT EXHAUSTION, YOU CAN GIVE
IMMEDIATE FIRST AID BY
IMMERSING HIM OR HER
IN COLD WATER UNTIL
THE BODY TEMPERATURE
IS LOWERED.
So remember, while you mean
to be kind by taking your dog
along with you, you could be risking you “Best Friend’s” life.
Did you know over the last 150 years, Nevada
has been the third most active state in the Union in
the number of large earthquakes? The State of
Nevada lies within the Basin and Range province
which is one of the most seismically active areas in
the United States for earthquakes. If you are interested in learning more about earthquake safety the
Carson City Building & Safety Department has
two excellent publications, “Living With
Earthquakes In Nevada” a Nevadan’s guide to
preparing for, surviving, and recovering from an
earthquake and “Earthquakes In Nevada” both
published by Nevada Bureau of Mines and
Geology. The first publication walks you through
Taking Control, Your Personal Safety, Protecting
Your Property, Earthquake Remedies, Eliminating
Nonstructural Hazards along with additional background information on earthquakes. Also available for viewing at the Building Department is the
20 minute video “Bolt It Down”, this video will
show you the entire process of connecting your
wood frame to the foundation of your home. Both
publications are free of charge and can be picked
up at the Building and Safety Department located
at 2621 Northgate Lane, Suite #6 or give us a call
at 887-2310 for further information.

Carson City Wild Land Fuels Project
L
ast September Carson City
was awarded ten wild land fuels
management grants totaling
approximately$247,000.00. The
funds were the result of congressional appropriations provided for in the National Fire Plan.
The money was provided to the
U.S. Forest Service, then passed
to the state level, for Nevada it
was the Nevada Division of
Forestry. Local entities applied
for grant funding in order to
implement wild land fuels
reduction projects that would
help reduce the threat to urbaninterface areas.
While much of Carson City is
adjacent to wild land areas, and
would be considered urban-interface, one of our largest threats is
along the west side of the community. Because of our gradient weather pattern and the type and amount of wild land in this area it poses a considerable threat.
The grants we received have enabled us to complete a “Fuels Reduction Zone” that abuts several subdivisions along
the west boundary of Carson City. In essence the “fire break” stretches from University Heights Subdivision on the
north to Kings Canyon on the south. Altogether this reduction zone stretches some 2.5 miles from north to south.
Additionally, we have completed about 40% of a lot by lot , site specific reduction in the Lakeview area. Other areas
slated for site specific reduction include; Timberline Estates, Kings Canyon, and Clear Creek.
The projects , thus far, have been done with the assistance of many private landowners, Western Nevada Community
College, Nevada Division of Forestry, UNR Co-operative extension, Resource Concepts, Inc., and North Tree Fire
International.
The Fire Dept has also applied for future grants that will extend this program into other portions of our community.
While this program in and of itself will not stop the fire problem, it will make a significant difference in the ability
for fire suppression agencies to succeed in extinguishing fires that do occur. For more information, please call
(775)887-2220, ext.13 or visit us on the web at www.carson-city.nv.us/CCFD.
Carson City Fire Department hopes everyone has a very enjoyable summer season, and please be fire safe.

Primary jobs a primary focus
Equally key to a sustainable future for Carson City is an expanding job market, including the
industries attracted by a sound telecommunications infrastructure. Called “primary” jobs, these
are the kinds of employment opportunities offered by clean industry and manufacturing.
“As opposed to selling a car and have most of the money go back to Detroit,” explains economic Development/Redevelopment Manager Rob Joiner, “these generate money which
stays in the community.” “Our committee has focused on primary job creation, accompanying education and job training and answering the question,’how do we attract what we don’t
currently have.’”
The committee also took a close look at Highway 50 and 395 and future freeway corridors,
the aging strip commercial centers strung along their length, and how future development
could enhance traffic flow, land use, aesthetics and more.
Among the solutions could be any combination of:
• Development of frontage roads to consolidate too many entrances and exits and alleviate
the safety issues and traffic creeping.
• Aggregation of small property lots to create larger buildable sites for developers willing
to share in a planned vision of better land use planning.
• Development of pockets and clusters of deeper sites that can consolidate the strip centers
into a modern, attractive, and convenient shopping district concept.
Downtown image further refined
The vision for Carson City’s downtown reflects some of the same land use planning, says
Joiner, and more:
“We have the opportunity for activity centers, with mixed use development making use of
vertical space, including a multi-story concept that combines office, retail with residential,
and attention to architectural compatibility.”
Other urban concepts are:
• Pedestrian walking routes.
• Alternative transportation, i.e., rubber tire trolleys.
• “Themed” areas, such as linking the railroad museum and the state museum with alternative transportation and pedestrian walkways.
“We have the potential for an ongoing economic vitality coalition,” adds Joiner, “made up
of stockholders in the community to offer ongoing advice to the city. We also want to work
with the region, not in isolation. We are taking a comprehensive view of everything that
touches economic development, from education to quality of life.”
Adds Berkich, “We began this concept in 2001 by successfully applying for and receiving
$215,000 in Community Development Block Grant monies. In order to work, these plans
must have strong, clear, and defined implementation components. It has to be a living and
working document and part of that plan is the recommendation of a coalition body separate
and independent, including private and public sectors. It’s going to take a community commitment to achieve the goals of the plans over the coming years.”
With the results in from each of the committees, public presentation input will be sought
from service club members, school students, business and professional groups, seniors, programming on public access television, and public hearings scheduled during the course of the
summer months. Also, the complete text is expected to be available on the City’s web site by
early July. Log on to www.carson-city.nv.us.com

Did You Know.....
It is Unlawful to Display Vehicles
for Sale on Vacant Lots within
Carson City Without Permission of
the Land Owner?
The Carson City Sheriff’s
Department, in cooperation with
the Department of Motor Vehicles
and Public Safety, enforces a program which prohibits the unlawful
display of vehicles for sale in
Carson City. Section 482.548 of
the Nevada Revised Statutes
requires written consent from the
owner of the vacant property on
which the vehicle is displayed.
“Notice of Violation” warning
stickers are placed on vehicles not
in compliance. Owners of vehicles
who fail to comply with a “Notice
of Violation” warning stickers may
be cited and/or the vehicles may
be removed at the owner’s
expense.
For more information on this program, please contact Deputy Matt
Putzer at 887-2020, ext 5144.
