And welcome to the May 5th meeting of the Clark County Commission.

We will begin today's meeting with the invocation led by Deacon Thomas Garcia of the Light of the World Church.

Please stand if you're able.

It'll be immediately followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

Almighty and gracious God.

United by a shared purpose, the well-being of Clark County and all who call it home.

We thank you for the beautiful heritage that gives our community its character.

Looking back at the history of this county in this thread of time, we reflect on over a century of an enduring light of faith.

Lord, it is your light that has shone brightly across generations, guiding families, neighbors, and leaders right up to this very moment.

We humbly ask for your help today.

May you fill this room with your wisdom, open our ears to one another, and steady our hearts that the work before us may bear good fruit for all whom we serve.

We are reminded of the words written in the book of Proverbs.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.

Lord, the responsibility of leadership is great.

Every decision made within these walls touches lives, shapes families, and forms the future of our county.

Grant our elected officials, commissioners, and all who serve here, the courage to lead with integrity, the patience to listen with humility, and the discernment to act with justice.

Finally, oh divine creator, we pray for and lift up the people of this county, our workers, our families, our elders, our children.

Bless those who labor for their daily bread.

Comfort those who carry burdens of illness or loss, and strengthen the bonds that unite us across every culture, every tradition, and every story that enriches this land we share.

May your light guide us at all times, lighting the path ahead as we move forward together in unity and hope.

In your holy name we pray.

Amen.

Commissioner McCurdy says we should sing on three.

One, two, three.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Thank you so much.

I was just thinking that I don't think I've ever heard it sung so by so many.

But then I've heard it a few times.

Thank you so much.

Well, thank you, and happy birthday.

Uh Michelle, we can now begin with our recognition items.

Thank you, Mr.

Tayer.

Good morning, Commissioners.

Your first item today is the recognition to recognize and present a proclamation for May 3rd through the 9th, 2026, as National Correction Officers Week, and grant a proclamation to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Detention Services Division to honor the work of the dedicated men and women working in our jail facilities.

If you can see you.

They have pulled integrity, accountability, respect, and excellence.

So this is a small sampling of the mini personnel that we have at our jail system.

We have three locations, C C D C North Valley Complex, and then the Tucker Holding Facility.

So if you don't know, um, they are in your grocery stores, they're your neighbors, they're everywhere, and they're doing so much.

So we're pleased to have the few of you here today to represent all departments of corrections, and we congratulate you, and we want to make sure that people know what you do.

Doesn't go unnoticed.

So please help me welcome them and give them a round of applause.

So now I'll let Deputy Chief have some words.

Thank you.

As the commissioner said, often we are unseen working behind the walls of the detention centers, trying to keep uh the community safe, but obviously our presence is is known in the community, is uh seen uh when we take our our transport folks to court, but also our obligation to keep people safe while they're incarcerated.

So thank you, and uh we appreciate the acknowledgement.

Half on one side of me and half on the other, and then the commissioners will step in behind you on the second level for the bottom.

Yeah, everybody's gonna cut.

You'll stand in the middle right in front of the county sign.

So, how we look everybody got a window in the back there?

All right.

Three, two, one.

Thank you.

Good morning.

And here in Clark County, we have a park uh tree planting crew that we're gonna honor today.

Um part of real property management's division.

But the fact is they have planted over 900 trees in the past couple years for Clark County, and we just had a heat summit last week, and the one recommendation was more trees.

So these guys are gonna have their work cut out for us for them the rest of their career, so I can't thank you enough.

Um my true my crew, they're the backbone of this operation.

Um they make sure everything's done to make the tree uh last, water, um the sustainability.

We want to make our valley uh cooler and more beautiful place to live.

And um, yeah, we just try to do that.

So we're gonna try to beat the goal for next year that we beat this year.

So thank you guys so much for the recognition.

Your next item is to recognize and present a proclamation in honor of Cinco de Mayo and Clark County, commemorating the historical and cultural significance of the day and honoring the continued partnership and strong ties between the state of Puebla, Mexica and Mexico and Clark County.

Uh good morning, and thank you all so much for joining us to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Over the past four years, my office has been proud to partner with the Federacion de Pueblanos in Las Vegas to host our Cinco de Mayo Art exhibit and uh reception.

This event has become a meaningful tradition, bringing together artists from across Mexico with a special emphasis on the state of Puebla's incredible talent and cultural heritage.

This year's exhibition, Bridges of Belonging, beautifully captures stories of identity, culture, and connection, highlighting both local and international artists who remind us of the power of art to unite us across the borders.

We were especially honored to feature work from Chingopan, Puebla, recognized as Puebla's Magico, showcasing the richness and beauty of its traditions.

This celebration would not have been possible without the strong partnership we've built with our colleagues in Puebla.

And today we are especially honored to have with us Juan Carlos Vilares Lima, Presidente Municipal of Palmer de Bravo.

Juan Carlos, your leadership and commitment have helped strengthen the cultural and civic ties between your community and ours here in Clark County.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership, your support of the arts, and your role in fostering this meaningful exchange between our regions.

Cinco de Mayo reminds us of the strength found in unity, and today we celebrate not only history, but the growing relationship between Clark County and the state of Puebla.

It is through partnerships like these that we continue to build bridges of understanding, respect, and belonging.

And on behalf of our board of county commissioners, it is my honor to present you this proclamation in recognition of Cinco de Mayo and an appreciation of our continued partnership with the state of Puebla.

Thank you for all that you do, and thank you for strengthening Car County.

Please roll the video.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Clark County Commissioner William McCurdy II.

Today we gather to recognize and reflect on the meaning of Cinco de Mayo, a date that holds deep historical and cultural significance for millions of people, particularly within the Mexican and Mexican American community here in Clark County and across the United States.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla, fought on May 5th, 1862, during a challenging period in Mexico's history.

Following internal conflict and economic hardship, Mexico faced foreign intervention from French forces seeking to expand their influence in the region.

At the time of the battle, Mexican troops led by General Ignacio Zaragoza were significantly outnumbered and outmatched by one of the most powerful armies in the world.

Despite those odds, Mexican forces achieved a remarkable and symbolic victory at Puebla.

While the battle did not end in the broader conflict, it became a powerful moment of resilience and a major boost in morale for the Mexican people.

Often mistaken for Mexico's Independence Day, which is celebrated on September 16th, Cinco de Mayo is a day of remembrance in modern Mexico.

Celebrations largely stay within the Puebla area with parades, speeches, and reenactments of the historic 1862 battle.

However, in the United States, it has become an opportunity to recognize the rich cultural contributions of Mexican and Mexican American communities in shaping the fabric of our nation.

Here in Clark County, that cultural legacy is alive and thriving.

Our community is strengthened every day by the traditions, leadership, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement of our Mexican and Mexican American residents.

Cinco de Mayo serves as a reminder of the shared history that connects us and the importance of honoring and uplifting those contributions.

It is also a moment to celebrate the enduring partnership between Clark County and the state of Puebla, built on cultural exchange, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to preserving heritage for future generations.

Built on cultural exchange, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to preserving heritage for future generations.

As we commemorate this day, we do so not only by remembering history, but by recognizing the living culture that continues to shape and inspire our community today.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Good morning, every everyone.

I want to say thank you very much for Commissioner William McCarty.

It's uh really a friend of our community.

Well, Commissioner really are.

Thank you very much for support our community.

I am from Palmar de Barabo in Puebla Estate of Puebla in the middle of the country.

Today is a very important celebration in Mexico.

Actually, our uh president of the Mexican Republic is now in Puebla State, celebrating this uh this important date.

And it represents the friendship between the United States and Mexico, because in that date, in uh May, uh May, May 5, uh 1862, the Mexican army rejected to the most powerful uh army in the world in that day, the French went.

And that's why the French Army uh didn't come here to conquer the United States.

So it represents the support of Mexican to the United States, and also the United States support to Mexico.

It's part of our friendship, and we our community of poblanos in Las Vegas represents this uh this opportunity to create more alliance and friends and between our countries and our towns.

So I really want to say thank you, all commissioners to support to be friends of our community, and now I am the major of this city, and I really really appreciate this kind of things.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Your next item is to recognize and present a proclamation to Danny Sanders, Chair of the Clark County Air Pollution Control Hearing Board, proclaiming the week of May 4th through the 8th, 2026 as Air Quality Awareness Week and honoring his more than 30 years of helping to improve Clark County's air quality.

The first week of May is recognized as Air Quality Awareness Week, and each year we take this opportunity to recognize the men and women of Clark County's division of air quality who do work every day to protect the air that we all share.

In addition to the more than 100 staff members in the division, the air pollution control hearing officers and hearing board also protect local air quality.

These individuals serve as independent arbiters, resolving air quality disputes and violations with fairness and integrity.

No one represents the hard work that goes into protecting air quality more than uh our our current air pollution control hearing board chair, Daniel Sanders.

Danny has dedicated more than 30 years to public service in Clark County, helping to reduce air pollution while working closely with local governments and the private sector to ensure Southern Nevada continues to grow and thrive while protecting the air we share.

Through his business, Sanders Construction and Western States drilling and blasting, Danny has helped shape much of the southern Nevada that we see today.

Just as importantly, he has made it a priority to ensure that construction and blasting operations take every possible measure to reduce fugitive dust once a significant challenge in Clark County.

We're honored to share a video of Danny and his own words, reflecting on growing up in this region and his years of public service to our community.

Victor, would you play the video now?

You know, almost every day you'd get up and there was this cloud that hung over the valley.

We would drive up Boulder Highway to go in here, so the wind started blowing very hard.

It would pick up dust just from all the all the vacant land.

And that dust sometimes would blow so bad that we would actually have to pull over and wait for uh it to clear out a little bit because it couldn't see the road.

Wow, that's uh that's a scary thought.

That's kind of like the the fox watching over the hen house.

Because I was uh a young member on that uh on that board, I was able to have a lot of input in these dust issues, particularly now.

You know, I guess this is a a dad's greatest dream, you know.

I'm able to work with my sons.

You know, we've been able to do some pretty major high profile projects over the years.

Uh you know, we've shot almost every site on the strip for the major casinos and stuff.

And and I I really think that it's a combination of not only were the were good regulations put into place, good best practices, as they call them, were put into place.

Um the compliance part of it is really been phenomenal.

Um you just don't you just don't see those big dusty projects going on anywhere.

I mean, if if they did, there'd be a handful of air quality guys out there, you know, uh straining them out.

There's a good group of people at air quality right now.

Uh as good as we've ever had there, I think, uh, top to bottom.

You know, it's made Vegas that much more desirable to live here, and I think you can help contribute all the growth that we have to the fact that we've done these things and and you know made Vegas a more desirable place to live.

Made this valley a more desirable place to be here.

So I've known Danny.

Uh he grew up at 107 Beach Street.

Is that right?

And I grew up at uh 117 Beach Street.

Uh the person I liked in his family was his sister, who was my age.

But Danny has been a remarkable guy.

He has an incredible bunch of talents.

First of all, he took over the uh drilling and blasting work that his dad didn't and amplified it.

If his father could be around to see what they've done, he wouldn't believe it.

Just hundreds and hundreds of times larger that businesses today than ever before.

Um Danny high jumped six feet five inches when he was in high school.

Not too bad.

You still got a little hop?

No.

Well, he's a he's a wonderful example of what we grow here.

Uh terrific fellow who has worked awfully hard to make a business work, employ people, and keep this economy moving.

And so we ask you to join us in thanking Danny for for his remarkable career, more than 30 years of service as we celebrate him by proclaiming the week May 4th through May 8th, 2026 is Danny Sanders' Air Quality Awareness Week.

Uh I appreciate it, Jimmy.

The uh I was raised close to him.

He he was uh seemed like he was at our house more than he was his own when I was when I was younger.

But you know, as I as the video stated, I uh I was raised under the the cloud that used to exist in Henderson, and you'd and you'd see it pretty much throughout the valley, and you just don't you don't see that anymore, and it's really uh due to the work that has been done by air quality.

And uh I know they measure things in million parts per microns, or I don't know what they measure, but they you know, I do it by hey, driving in here this morning I could see the whole valley.

And and it didn't used to be like that.

And I appreciate the staff and everything that they do, and I appreciate the other board members being here as long as I have.

I I uh I've been able to get to know a lot of different people and uh and I appreciate their contributions to to this effort.

Thanks,

Commissioners, we may now move on to public comment.

Thank you.

This is the first time set aside for public comment, a period dedicated to items that are on today's agenda.

Uh anyone wishing to speak, please come forward, state your name for the record, and you may speak for up to three minutes.

Good morning, commissioners.

My name is Miguel Canales with the Culinary Union commenting on item 45.

I'm excited to announce that the union has agreed to a proposal for a five-year contract with the DBE employers.

Some employers have signed this tentative agreement, but some have not yet done so.

We will not stop fighting until all DB workers have what they deserve.

A guarantee in the in their contract.

We hope in the future process will not be as difficult.

We appreciate whatever the commissions can do to help the DBE workers for a smoother process.

I would like to turn over now to a DB worker that uh would like to talk a little bit about the details on this agreement.

Good morning, Commissioners.

My name is Christopher Science.

In addition, happy birthday, Commissioner Gibson.

Many DBE workers like myself have been working for years waiting for wage increases.

We are still waiting for some of the employers to sign the tentative agreements.

I hope in the very near future, the DBE employees will agree to the contract we deserve.

In the proposal, the union agreed to DBE workers will be getting a total economic package of five dollars and seventy-five cents over a course of five years.

Our wage increases will be retroactive, and all the EB workers could at least a one-year retroactive pay.

Finally, I'm excited that we have negotiated language on technology that will allow workers and like myself from changes in the future.

Thank you for our time today.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning, I'll be real quick.

I'm Shoshana.

I'm a resident, and I just want to cite the United States Constitution, the First Amendment, which separates uh religion from government.

I'm absolutely for the separation of religion from these uh forum because this is my own.

Okay, is there an item on section four?

Thank you.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Please come forward.

Thank you.

There's a handheld right there in the middle.

I'm pretty tall even when I sit down.

Um good morning, honored and esteemed commissioners, leaders of our great county and great state.

My name is Eric King, a longtime resident here.

Uh, like you, I also have served.

Oh, I can I can speak up.

Uh, like you all, I also have served for public safety ecology on boards to help guide development growth here.

I've done that for a number of years, very proudly and happily.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Miss Goya for a great many years, and even dined at her house a number of times.

Um, other gracious people I know, still Miss Kirkpatrick.

We've had some conversations, it's been quite a long time.

Thank you for your kindnesses in the past.

Why I'm here today is just a few days ago.

We had Earth Day, just a few days from now, we'll be having one of the largest events, Las Vegas hosts the electric daisy carnival.

And we talked a little bit today about Arbor Day planting trees.

I've been talking about that for 20 something years.

Very excited.

It's catching more and more traction, and we're getting more and more in the ground.

I happen to be a designer in sustainable design.

It's one of my town's skill sets.

And what I've come to learn over the years in researching urban heat island effect is the 191 deaths so far that have happened here in uh Nevada that I'm aware of.

Uh, some handful of them over at Electric Daisy Carnival.

Uh a lot of them probably would not have occurred.

Even Electric Daisy Carnival, drugs involved, yes, heat involved, yes.

Um, we want to prevent all of those.

Every life is precious.

I've been saying that for most all my life.

I've been acting in ways to help preserve life.

I'd be very excited to help work with Desert Research Institute, who I know some folks over there on the 90 or so member uh panel, I think they have or committee that helps with urban heat island effect.

And I'd be really interested to talk with certainly you, Commissioner Knaft, hopefully uh Ms.

Kirkpatrick, Mr.

Segerblum.

I know some other members have those on their agenda as priorities as well.

Not only public safety, but also to what can we do about urban heat island effect.

I'd be very excited to be uh more connected with you on this topic, and I'm excited you honored Arbor Day as well today.

Thank you all very much for your leadership and guidance here, and I look forward to getting to know you better.

Thank you all for your service.

Thank you very much.

Good morning, commissioners.

Uh my name is Jim Guerrin.

I'm the director of the Clark County Building Department.

First, let me express my gratitude to uh Deputy County Manager Leslie Shell for doing such a great job.

This is the most efficient uh meeting we've ever had, and uh you may want to make this permanent change.

No offense, Kevin.

Also, happy birthday, Commissioner Gibson.

Uh item 53 is really just the business impact statement.

We're um updating what used to be called the amusement and transportation systems code, the ATS Code.

There was always confusion when you relate transportation systems to the building department.

Um, the main reason I'm here actually is just to let you know we did not receive any public comments uh in response to the public notices we we published.

Uh I'd like to recognize Brian Lenahan, principal engineer at the building department for his efforts to spearhead this uh this ordinance update.

Um, really, this is just clarifications.

We are changing the title, as you can see, to amusement ride and people mover code.

That is really just to get rid of the confusion surrounding the reference to transportation systems.

And then the final reason I wanted to be here today is just to answer any questions you may have and to reassure you that this ordinance has nothing to do with the Las Vegas loop or the boring company.

They will not be subject to the uh the new amusement ride and people mover code.

Thank you.

Are there any questions for the director?

I move to accept the business impact statement.

Thank you.

There's a motion that we accept and approve the business impact statement.

Please cast your vote.

Okay, now item 54.

Um to consider and improve the business impact statement pursuant to NRS 237.090 for the proposed ordinance to amend Title 13, Chapter 4 of the Clark County Code by adding section 13.04.275 relating to the design operation, maintenance, and commissioning of single-link tunnel systems designated Chapter 42 of the International Fire Code and providing other matters properly rated there too.

Thank you.

Good morning, Chief.

Morning, Billy Samuels for the record.

Um we did do our business impact statement from March 23rd through April 15th, and we had no comments from the public.

I'm really no issue so far, and just hoping to move forward with it.

And Debbie County Member Schill, you are doing a great job.

However, I like you as my boss.

And happy birthday, sir, because I don't want I thought Jim was gonna take this for me.

That was gonna be great.

Thank you.

Are there any questions for the chief related to this item?

Seeing none, I'll move to approve the business impact statement.

Thank you.

There's a motion for approval.

Good morning, Chair, Commissioners, Mike Harwell for business license.

Uh we sent a notification letter out to uh the chambers of commerce trade associations and several other um uh potentially affected businesses such as uh liquor caterers and other venues that hold special events and parties.

Um we received no comment.

Uh so um uh apparently there was no one that uh wanted to express anything against it.

Um obviously this is I think um right now related only to one business that would uh be allowed to uh um sell liquor um while they're open uh well they're not open to the general public um which is what they're prohibited from doing now.

So I'm here with uh for any questions you might have.

Thank you.

Are any questions from members of the board?

Commissioner Jones.

If there are no questions, then I'd move for approval of the business impact segment.

There's a motion cash or vote.

Motion is adopted.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Item 56 is to discuss amending Clark County Code 8.20.020 point one oh five to increase the locations that are eligible for a full bar license and direct staff accordingly.

Mr.

Chair, if if it's okay, I'll go ahead and just or talk about this item.

Um it's come to my attention that uh under the current code, if there's a cannabis lounge, uh the same institution cannot have an open bar, um a full bar license, and that's um problematic for plan 13 and possibly other locations where they have a multiple range of businesses.

They have a lot of um convention businesses that come over and and do parties, and right now they don't have the ability to have an open bar.

So this would be a proposal to have the staff draft look at this issue and see if they could come back with something which would apply specifically to this instance.

We're not trying to we're not there's not gonna be alcohol in the consumption lounge, it has nothing to do with the consumption lounge, it just enables uh plan 13 or other locations like that to have a full service bar as part of their what they offer to the public.

Thank you.

And uh I are is there any comment from members of the board?

All right, seeing nine.

Director Keanu, you go like you have enough information.

All right, thank you.

This time I believe we'll have to take about a 10-minute recess until 10 a.m.

to continue uh continue our agenda.

That's correct.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Commissioners now past 10 a.m.

Good morning.

Good morning, Commissioners.

Dagney Stapleton, Community Housing Administrator.

Happy birthday, Commissioner Gibson.

This item is the public hearing for our HUD 2026 through 2028 community development block grant or CDBG funds, and also includes the approval of how we will use those funds for the next two years.

The county is estimated to receive approximately 8.5 million in CDBG funds per year, so that's a total of approximately 17 million over two years, and is outlined in your backup materials provided with this item.

A portion of these funds are recommended for administration as well as distribution to our consortium members.

Of the total estimated allocation, approximately 14 million is recommended for nine organizations to deliver services and complete capital improvement projects that support low-income residents and community development efforts in Clark County.

If approved, these allocations will be included in our 2026 HUD annual action plan, which we will bring back to you at a later date and then submit to HUD for their approval.

Finally, I'd also like to recognize the hard work of the community development advisory committee or CDAC for reviewing these applications, making recommendations to you, and to thank those individuals for their public service.

I also would like to recognize the current chair of the CDAC committee, Eric Jang, who's here with us today.

Um thank him for his leadership of that committee, and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Thank you.

This is a public hearing.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward at this time.

Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing and uh Ms.

Stapleton, I'll add to your thanks, uh, our thanks to Chair Jang and to the entire CDAC group who comes together in a volunteer capacity to sift through a lot of this.

We appreciate it.

Sir, a motion on the item.

There's a motion for approval.

Please cast your vote.

The motion passes.

Item number 44 is to conduct a public hearing to review the funding award recommendations for the 2006 and 2007 HUD home and state AAH FT funds.

Select funding award amounts and approve allocations for inclusion into Clark County's 2026-27 HUD annual action plan and application to the state of Nevada's housing division for a total of approximately six million eight hundred and thirty seven thousand two hundred and sixteen dollars in 2627 home AAHTF program monies, authoriz prior years unspent or returned home AA HTF funds in the amount of $4,788,805 for reallocation, authorized staff to prepare and submit all necessary documents, applications per HUD and state of Nevada deadlines and requirements, and authorize the county manager or his designee to one accept the grant funds and allocate according to the approved HUD plan and two execute any necessary documents related there to thank you.

Good morning again, uh Dagney Stapleton Community Housing Administrator.

Um this item is the hearing for the funding allocations for our 2627 HUD home funds, along with our application to the state for state home funds and for state account for affordable housing trust funds or aft funds.

All of these funding sources are used together each year by the county to support attainable housing development.

This item also includes the recommendations for the 2627 uh home aft awards for attainable housing developments, as well as allocations to our home consortium partner, the City of North Las Vegas for their home home funds and also for home program administration.

The applications for the 26-27 home aft funding awards for housing developments were reviewed and scored by staff and the CDAC, the community development advisory committee.

The final recommended awards include four attainable housing projects for a total of $5.4 million in home aft funds.

Staff is also recommending that $2.5 million of the 26-27 home funds be reserved for the development of attainable housing developments that may qualify for funds outside of the annual uh funding round, including projects on BLM or county parcels and preservation or rehabilitation projects.

Uh finally, I want to again thank the CDAC committee uh members and Chair Jang for their work and contribution to this process.

Um if approved today, these funding recommendations will also be included in the county's 2627 HUD annual action plan.

Thank you.

This is a public hearing on item 44.

Good morning.

Morning, commissioners.

Uh for the record, Joe Perkowski Airport Chief Financial Officer.

So this item before you is required by uh IRS tax code for the issuance of airport private activity bonds.

Um it's required that there's a public hearing and that the bonds be approved by the board.

Um, the resolution before you will approve up to 650 million dollars in future private activity bonds for a period of up to three years.

Um it doesn't approve actual bonds, it'll just approves it flies with the taxbook.

Thank you.

This is a public hearing on item 45.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward.

Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing.

Seeing no comments, I move for approval.

There's a motion for approval.

Please cast your vote.

Um governing board members and providing for other matters properly relating there to uh thank you.

Um is there a presentation at this time?

There is no presentation at this time.

This is the language that was requested by the board to come back to them regarding the um appointment of the governing board members.

All right, got it.

Uh, this is a public hearing.

Anyone wishing to come forward at this time?

Seeing no one, we'll close a public hearing and entertain a motion.

I would move to approve.

If I have a motion for approval, please cash a vote.

Motion is adopted.

Sorry.

We may now move back to item 57 under your business items, which is to approve and adopt as though an emergent emergency exists, and authorize the chair to sign an ordinance authorizing the issuance of county's airport system subordinate lien revenue refunding bonds, series 2026A to refund the outstanding airport system senior lien revenue bond series 2015 A, the issuance of county's airport system subordinate lean revenue bond series 2026 B for the purpose of financing the cost of certain improvements to the airport system, approving the execution and delivery of related documents, and providing for other matters related thereto.

Hi.

Morning commissioners again, Joe Burkowski Airport Chief Financial Officer.

So the ordinance before you approves and authorizes the 26A bonds, those are refunding bonds to refund our outstanding 2015 A bonds.

We estimate a present value savings there of a little over $8 million and 13% of the R.

And then the 26 B bonds are um new money bonds to help us with some terminal improvements we're currently working on.

Um it's about 150 million dollars in total.

That I respectively uh ask for your approval.

Thank you very much.

This is a public hearing.

Anyone wishing to speak on item 57?

Please come forward at this time.

We actually don't have to have a public hearing on this one because we're adopting it as an emergency exist.

You just need to introduce the ordinance and then have the uh chair read it by have the clerk read it by title.

Uh I'll introduce the ordinance and ask the clerk to read it in by title.

An ordinance relating to the county airport facilities for Clark County, Nevada, authorized in the issuance by the county of its airport system subordinate lien revenue refunding bonds series 2026 A in its airport system subordinate lien revenue bonds series 2020, approving certain documents and other matters related there too, declaring that this ordinance pertains to the sale, issuance, and payment of bonds, and adopting it as if an emergency now exists and providing the effective date hereof.

Thank you.

I'll move for the adoption of the ordinance as if an emergency exists.

Please cast your vote.

Motion passes.

And that's the end of your regular agenda.

Mr.

Chair, may I ask that we go back to emerging issues?

Sure.

Uh so I would like to when it comes to the CDAC money and the housing money and all that stuff.

I would ask that maybe we refine the process a little bit because I keep seeing the same people coming before us every time when I watch the CAC money or the CDBG money with every other community.

They're not anying up anything, right?

Housing is supposed to be a regional conversation.

So I would like to start.

I want to revamp the process.

I want to know how much they get year after year, what the total cost of their project is.

What is everybody else giving?

Because this is becoming frustrating for me because we are not even invited to the ribbon cuttings or whatever, as people get up there and take all the credit if it's not even in our jurisdiction.

And if I'm paying for it, I want to know what I'm getting for it.

So if we could redo that process, I'd appreciate that.

Thank you.

Uh this is the final time set aside for public comment.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward at this time.

State your name for the record, and you may speak for up to three minutes.

Hi my name is Shoshana, I'm a resident.

I'm here once again to urge the commissioners to support the separation of religion from government by eliminating prayer from these meetings.

But since the Bible is the source of praying and it is the most gruesome book I've ever read, I hope people will finally read it.

Let's read some of the sickening scripture that I've read.

Let's talk about the cannibalism.

Parents will eat their children and children will eat their parents in Ezekiel.

Let's talk about women not having any say in anything.

Um I permit not a woman to teach nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

Kidnapping girls, a girl or two is to be given to each soldier.

God loves to murder, I'll tell you that.

So I will fill your mountains with the dead, your hills and your valleys and your streams will be filled with people slaughtered by the sword.

I will make you desolate forever, your cities will never be rebuilt.

Then you will know that I am the Lord.

I will smash them one against the other, parents and children alike, declares the Lord.

I will allow no pity or mercy or compassion to keep me from destroying them.

If a child doesn't obey his or her parents, take the child to the elders of the city so the men can stone the child to death.

Even if they bear children, I will murder their offspring.

But if the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel, they should bring her to the door of her father's house, and the men of the city shall stone her to death.

And it came to pass that at midnight the Lord murdered all the firstborn in the land of Egypt and all the firstborn cattle, and there was not a house where one was not dead.

Um keep the Sabbath day holy.

Everybody works on the Sabbath, but you're supposed to be dead if you work on the Sabbath, because anyone who dresses it must desecrates it must die.

Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result.

But you don't get punished if the slave recovers after a day or two since the slave is their property.

Gotta love the Bible for slavery.

Um by the way, just a trivia question.

According to biblical scholars, do you know how many people who wrote the passages in this were eyewitnesses to anything that happened in here?

It's zero.

Nobody saw anything.

These were passages written years and years and years later.

And as a matter of fact, the whole New Testament was translated in Greek and retranslated and retranslated and retranslated.

So there's a lot of inaccuracies.

Again, we the people in support of the United States Constitution separate support the separation of church and state.

So please stop hosting church services at our government meetings.

70% of cities and counties in Nevada don't pray at their meetings because they just do their jobs as anyone would expect.

And again, there are thousands of churches in this area for people to go.

I don't care what you believe.

You can believe any of this stuff.

It's horrible, but that's fine.

People can believe whatever they want.

The fact of the matter is this should not be a house of worship.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Please come forward at this time.

Again, good morning to all of you esteemed leaders of our community.

Uh my name's Eric King.

I was detained just a little bit getting in here.

I'm glad I made it before y'all finished.

Um, uh, in addition to uh what I had described a little bit ago uh about helping people survive the heat better and uh all have better lives, uh better quality of life.

Um I also wanted to talk a little bit about it being uh military appreciation month.

And I have volunteered about 30,000 hours of my life, 10,000 plus of which were devoted to veterans and first responders here in the Valley.

That's ongoing for me, about an average of an hour a day right now is what I spend helping veterans with.

I come from a military family, actually.

So it's um it's a real honor to talk to you about that here on Military Appreciation Month.

And with Memorial Day coming up and large events like what happens out at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery, I would be honored to discuss also some ideas that I have about helping first responders.

I have an ongoing project that would be really exciting to talk to y'all about as it moves forward, about helping them gain greater resources to bridge gaps that in my research over many months and years have learned their quality of life is not meeting what they'd like it most to be.

So it'd be a great honor to discuss that too with you through email with your wonderful staff.

I'd be honored to uh move dialogue forward on those regards, and um I look forward to meeting you possibly at one of the memorial events coming up this later this year.

So thank you all for your time.

Great honor to connect with you this morning, and I again cherish your leadership here.

Honored to meet you, at least over the microphone here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Please come forward.

Seeing no one, we will recess until tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.
