Carson City Council appoints Cedric Hicks as new Mayor Pro Tem

The City of Carson held a council meeting on April 1, 2025, at 5 PM, addressing several key agenda items. The meeting began with a discussion regarding the oversight of Dolphin Park, where staff will manage recreation and maintenance activities. The council moved to approve staff's recommendation for this assignment, which was seconded and passed without further discussion.

Following this, the council entered a public hearing concerning a potential amendment to the city's subdivision ordinance. The clerk confirmed that the notice for the public hearing was properly posted, and no written communications were received. The council decided to continue this item until staff brings it back for further consideration.

The next item on the agenda was a continued public hearing on the 2025-2029 Housing and Urban Development five-year consolidated plan. The council confirmed that this item would also be continued to the May 6 meeting, with the possibility of staff bringing it back sooner if necessary.

The council then moved to the selection of the new Mayor Pro Tem. The current Mayor Pro Tem, Jawan Hilton, was nominated for reappointment. However, Councilwoman Cedric Hicks also received a nomination. After some discussion and clarification on the motions, the council unanimously voted to appoint Cedric Hicks as the new Mayor Pro Tem. The outgoing Mayor Pro Tem expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and congratulated Hicks on his new role.

In conclusion, the meeting progressed smoothly with key decisions made regarding park management, subdivision ordinance amendments, and the appointment of the Mayor Pro Tem, reflecting the council's commitment to community development and governance. The next meeting is scheduled for May 6, where further discussions on housing and urban development will take place.
