The Adams Hub, under the city’s management, is a meeting place for downtown busi-
ness activity.

Cauhape is also working
on more lunch and learns,
free noontime events fea-
turing various topic experts.
On Aug. 27, for example, a
representative from Web-
ster Wealth Management,
will talk about retirement
planning.
The hub plans to offer a
six-week series on social
media marketing and plan-
ning to be held Thursdays,
with the exception of Sept.
27, in the evenings. That,
too, will likely have a fee for
the general public.
The workshops and sem-
inars are all free for Adams
location after granting an appeal of a denial
Hub members as part of
their membership.
The third goal, said Cau-
hape, is to reassess internal
programs at the hub.
Previously, the center
offered office space in an in-
cubator program. The office
lease was $500 monthly,
but renters had to provide
an ongoing progress report
on their startup businesses
and meet certain goals to
remain in the hub.
Cauhape is changing that
to a more standard office
space lease in which mem-
bers pay $750 per month
and have no obligation to
report on their progress.
“The incubator program
is on pause,” she said.

The other membership
levels, based on shared
working space, remain es-
sentially the same.
New E, an entrepreneur-
ial program for high school
students run by Molly Dahl,
is ongoing as well.
And Cauhape is working
on rebuilding the cen-
ter’s roster of mentors and
developing an advisory
board comprising members
of the library board and
other stakeholders, partic-
ularly from the business
community.
“It’s a group we’re going
to be checking in with to
make sure we’re moving
in the right direction,” she
said.

“Part of the challenge lies in the fact that
when you purchase the property and decide
to do something, you’re aware what the code
requires,” said Supervisor Lori Bagwell. “I
am very concerned about not having a sec-
ond point of access.”
Municipal code requires two points of ac-
cess on the tentative map to any subdivision,
which is a residential development of more
than four houses, unless waived by the city
engineer. After 30 houses are built, fire code
requires both access points be available.
But, city staff recommended allowing one
public road and a secondary emergency
road until traffic became a problem because
the land is surrounded by other land to the
north and south and abuts I-580 to the east.
“The challenge of this particular site is it
needs a third party involved for a second ac-
cess,” said Hope Sullivan, planning manager,
Community Development. “So we attempted
to meet the spirit of the law.”
Supervisor Brad Bonkowski suggested a
secondary access road be built but to a lesser
standard — paved, but without curbs, gut-
ters, and sidewalks — as a compromise.
The supervisors voted 4-1 with Supervisor
John Barrette voting no to make the zoning
amendment and to require two access roads
— one built to a lesser standard that would
be upgraded to city standards or replaced
with another public road once the develop-
ment is completed. The motion didn’t speci-
fy where the second road will be constructed,
but it will likely go from Railroad to Firebox
Road, where Fremont Elementary School is
located.
The board also heard an information only
update on plans to relocate Carson Montes-
sori School.
Last year, the board approved a special use
permit for the school to expand at its current

of the permit by the Planning Commission.
But, the board imposed a two-year limit
on the permit and required the school to
come back in a year to talk about efforts to
move because the current site is in a light
industrial area.
Jessica Barlow Daniels, executive director
and principal, said the school had explored
a number of sites. The most promising is at
Western Nevada College (WNC) where a
new building for the school would be built
next to the college’s early childhood develop-
ment center.
Daniels said the project was moving
forward with a developer to build it and
then lease the building to the Montessori
school when it hit a roadblock. The school
has to renew its charter school status every
six years and the developer said the project
can’t be financed without a 30-year lease
arrangement.
“I’m asking you to help us accomplish our
dream,” said Daniels. “You’ve been wonder-
ful and helped us, but it does take time.”
Mayor Bob Crowell said he would be
meeting with WNC’s new president, Vincent
Solis, and would talk to him about a possible
solution.
The board pulled two items from the
agenda on a new advisory board to look at
impact fees for new development.
Crowell said after the meeting he wanted
to discuss it more as a board and a commu-
nity, and was going to propose having a pub-
lic board retreat soon focused on the topic.
The supervisors interviewed six candidates
for appointments on the Culture and Tour-
ism Authority and appointed Mike Santos
as a citizen-at-large; Mike Riggs for other
commercial member; and Michael Jones,
general manager, Gold Dust West, and Stu
Wexler, sales manager, Wyndham Garden
Carson City Max Casino, as the two mem-
bers from the hotel and motel industry.
