The Carson City Council recorded the following formal actions during its May 6 meeting. All outcomes are listed as stated on the record.
1) Resolution 25-066 — Declare June 2025 Fire Prevention Month and establish citywide fire-prevention education initiative. Outcome: Approved (unanimous). Action directs staff to implement outreach in schools and coordinate with LA County Fire and Sheriff’s offices.
2) Consent calendar item 27 — Extend Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with building trades as recommended by staff. Outcome: Approved (unanimous vote noted during consent; five comment cards recorded on the item).

4) Consolidated Plan / CDBG FY2025–26 — Approve submission of Final Consolidated Plan, allocate CDBG public-service funding conditionally to designated providers (contingent on HUD allocation). Outcome: Approved (unanimous). Awards contingent on HUD allotment; staff to finalize agreements when funds are allocated.
5) Resolution & Ordinance adopting an official city style guide, new city seal and marketing logo (Resolution No. 25-063; Ordinance No. 25-2511 first reading). Outcome: Adopted/Introduced (motion passed; second reading/ordinance adoption scheduled per municipal code) — council waived further reading and approved first-reading actions.
6) Ordinance amending council member compensation, benefits and retirement contributions (Ord. No. 25-2508, second reading). Outcome: Adopted (motion carried; vote recorded as unanimous on second reading).
7) Ordinance replacing Section 41-05 on illegal dumping and approving administrative citation fines (Ord. No. 25-2505, second reading). Outcome: Adopted (unanimous second-reading vote).
8) Business-license revocation ordinance (amend code to permit denial/revocation when businesses are under criminal investigation). Outcome: Continued for further legal review and redrafting at staff request; no vote to adopt.
Votes reflected electronic roll-call entries. Where the public hearing delivery or staff recommendation noted contingencies (for example HUD allocation), council direction made awards conditional on receipt of funds. Several action items directed staff to return with additional materials — for example, a proposed reward program related to arson reporting and more detailed CIP timelines — rather than creating immediate new appropriations.
