Good morning.

I'm going to ask everybody who can to get settled in.

Good morning.

I'd like to welcome everybody to the May nineteenth meeting of the Clark County Commission.

We will begin today's meeting with the invocation.

If you'd like, please rise and will welcome Aaron Ra to the podium.

Good morning.

Hello.

Okay.

My name is Aaron Ra.

I'm with the Satanic Temple.

This invocation today was inspired by the seven tenets or ethical principles of the Satanic Temple.

An atheistic organization that believes in compassion, empathy, justice, autonomy, freedom of speech, scientifically based beliefs, accountability, and wisdom.

Let us begin.

Let us never bow our heads or bend the knee in obeisance to any faith from the past that is based on ignorant, bigoted savagery.

Let us not look back with reverence to dark times of fearful minds, unenlightened by modern scientific knowledge, but move forward with critical thinking, the only way to determine actual factual truth.

Your first item is to recognize and present proclamations to honor Nevada's mother of the year recipients, American Mothers Incorporated, based in Washington, D.C., which is a nonprofit organization committed to honoring mothers for their leadership and service at home, at work, and in the world.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Victor, is the hand held on.

There we go.

Thank you very much.

Each year in partnership with American Mothers Inc., we're pleased to honor outstanding women who contribute to our community, nurture their families, and who view motherhood not as a role but as a journey of mutual growth.

Please join me in recognizing these outstanding women today.

We want to thank those who are responsible for helping us know and understand who the selections are.

These are remarkable people who have accomplished a great deal in their families and in their lives, and we appreciate their example.

The 2026 Nevada Mother of the Year is Sarah Banda.

We'd invite you to come forward.

And the 2026 Nevada Legacy Mother of the Year, our own Mary Beth Scal.

And the 2026 Candy Kraussman Mothers of the Honor are Jean Elen Rem, Christina Smith, and Mary Wardle.

Deborah Earle, would you stand?

Deborah is the president of the Nevada chapter of the American Mothers, Inc.

Thank you very much for all your work and for what you do.

It's always easy to do this recognition because we all have one.

And we know that you earned it day after day after day, sometimes brutal day after brutal day after a brutal day.

We appreciate very much your willingness to be here with us today.

And this is an interesting world today.

So being proudly here to receive an award for being a mother is something that is of real note to us.

So thank you very much and congratulations to all of you, Commissioners.

Your next item is to recognize Asian Pacific Islander Middle Eastern Heritage Month, celebrate and honor exceptional citizens and organizations in Clark County.

Commissioner Jones.

Thank you, Mr.

County Manager.

Good morning.

Today and every day we celebrate the extraordinary achievements, history, and vibrant culture of our Asian Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern communities right here in Clark County.

Before we begin the presentations, I want to share a special thank you to the Lohan School of Shaolin for their incredible, powerful performance brought that brought so much energy to this room this morning.

Let's give them a round of applause.

We're going to cue the videos highlighted our highlighting our honorees, and as the video rolls, you'll hear your name called, so please step forward over here and join us on stage.

And I want to give a huge thank you to Calafano and the Halaf family for creating stunning, unique geode awards and plaques.

Your generosity year after year elevates this community.

And to our honorees, thank you for everything you do to make Clark County a more dynamic and beautiful community.

Roll tape.

Hi, this is Justin Jones, County Commissioner for District F.

This May, Clark County is proud to join our community in celebrating Agent Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern Heritage Month.

This is a vital time for reflection and celebration as we honor the rich history, diverse cultures, and profound contributions that APIME residents bring to Southern Nevada.

Today I'm privileged to recognize four exceptional individuals whose dedication and leadership continue to strengthen the soul of our community and inspire us all.

First, we recognize Coach Capp.

Coach Cap founded the Sasa Squad Foundation in 2020 to provide local youth with a physical and mental outlet during the pandemic.

What began as a volunteer effort has grown into a citywide movement, offering free high-level football training to over 100 participants.

Coach Capp used the field to teach leadership, self-discipline, and resilience, empowering our kids to flourish both in athletics and in life.

Coach, thank you for your visionary leadership.

Our next honoree is Jenna Strasser, Human Trafficking Task Force Manager at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Jenna has dedicated her career to victim advocacy, spending years with Metro and the Family Justice Center, supporting survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

By founding a regional advocate coalition and leading multi-agency coordination efforts, Jenna has transformed how our community responds to exploitation.

Jenna, thank you for your relentless pursuit of justice and for being a voice for the vulnerable.

We also honor Raja Muri, a dedicated educator, life coach, and president of the Las Vegas Agent Chamber of Commerce.

As a Lebanese American leader, Raja has spent his life working to help others realize their full potential through his agency and on purpose coaching.

While Roger could not be here today, we are honored to have his wife Rana accept this award on his behalf.

Roger's commitment to self-growth and community mentorship has left a lasting mark on our local business landscape.

We are proud to recognize his impact.

Our final honoree is Genevieve Gallman, a prominent first generation Filipino American attorney and community advocate.

As president of the Asian Bar Association and the Filipino American Lawyers Association of Nevada, Gene Aviv has been a trailblazer in expanding legal access for our most vulnerable residents.

From recruiting hundreds of pro bono attorneys to establish vital mentorship programs for law students, she is a champion for diversity and justice.

Genevieve, thank you for your tireless advocacy and for leading the way for future generations.

Hi, I'm Commissioner Tick Sagerbloom, proudly representing District E.

Together we recognize Asian Pacific, Pacific Islander, and Middle Eastern Heritage Month, an important time to celebrate the cultures, histories, and contributions of API communities here in Clark County and around our nation.

Our community is stronger, more vibrant, and more resilient because of the diversity and leadership within these communities.

This month is not only about honoring heritage, but also about recognizing the lasting impact APIME leaders have made and continue to make in shaping our region.

Today I'm thrilled to recognize three incredible leaders in our community.

My first distinguished honoree is Dean Leah Chan Grinvald.

Dean Grinvald serves as the Dean and Richard J.

Morgan Professor of Law at the William S.

Boyd School of Law at UNLP.

She's the first permanent female dean and the first Asian American to hold this role.

Her distinguished career spans private practices and international law firms, service as global corporate counsel, and leadership and legal education.

She is deeply committed to educating the next generation of leaders and advancing civil civic engagement, both in Nevada and nationwide.

I'm also proud to serve with her on the cannabis committee at UNLB.

My second distinguished honoree is Paulina Du Wong Panya.

A proud two-time graduate of UNLV, Paulina has dedicated her career to public service.

She began as a district representative for Congresswoman Susie Lee, working closely with constituents to address local needs and connect them to vital resources.

Today she continues her service through her work in government relations at Nevada Energy, strengthening communities from across the Southern Nevada.

If I need something to Nevada Power, I reach out to Paulina.

She is a true gem as far as responding, making things happen, and unbelievable, frankly.

My third and final distinguished honoree is Angelica Viarta.

Angelica is a community leader, creative strategist, and ecosystem builder whose work brings together culture, business, and public engagement.

She was perfect for when we created Filipino Town.

She helped organize it, made sure everything got off on time, coordinated the whole thing, and it was fantastic what she did.

Through her leadership and platform, HAAPI roots.

She creates meaningful spaces that celebrate culture, uplift diasporic voices, and foster connection across our diverse communities.

Dean Grinvald, Paulina, and Angelica.

Thank you for your leadership, your service, and your commitment to uplifting District E.

You have helped me so much in my work and all my constituents, so I can't thank you enough.

I'm grateful for you how the impact you have helped me make in our community.

Have the impact you have helped me make in our community.

Good morning.

I'm Clark County Commissioner William McCready II.

It is an honor to join you in recognizing Asian Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich cultures, history, and contributions that continue to shape and strengthen our community here in Clark County.

This month is not only about reflection, but about uplifting the leaders among us who are building a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

Today, I'm proud to recognize three outstanding individuals whose work embodies service, leadership, and community impact.

Farah Atchison is a resilient and passionate community advocate whose journey as an immigrant, small business owner, and public servant has shaped her commitment to uplifting others.

She served as vice president of Majet Tahid and chair of the Democratic Muslim Caucus, where she continues to elevate community voices and advocate for inclusion.

A strong voice for families navigating uncertainty and a champion for women and also future leaders.

FAIR is creating space for others to be seen, heard, and empowered.

Felipe Danglipin is a dedicated leader whose career has been rooted in expanding opportunities for working families, particularly within Nevada's Filipino and AAPI communities.

Through his leadership as Chief Operating Officer for SCIU Local 1107 and his deep involvement in civic and community organizations, Felipe has helped create pathways for financial empowerment, civic engagement, and economic growth.

His work reflects a powerful commitment to lifting others and strengthening the fabric of our community.

Sam Shaw brings more than 25 years of experience in grassroots organizing and advocacy for working families.

His leadership with SCIU Local 1107 has helped bridge the gap between worker justice and community empowerment, advancing efforts that expand healthcare access, protect essential services, and ensure that more voices are heard.

Guided by his personal story and deep sense of responsibility, Sam continues to champion dignity, equity, and opportunity for all.

Together, these honorees remind us that true leadership is grounded in service and our community is strongest when we lift up one another.

Congratulations and thank you for your continued dedication to Clark County.

Thank you, Commissioner Jones, for once again leading today's Asian American Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern Heritage Month.

I am proud to introduce District A's honoree, Catherine Francisco, founder and president of the AAPI Chamber of Commerce of Southern Nevada.

She has spent 30 years of experience in public policy, advocacy, business development, and more.

Her career has been dedicated to the success of independent businesses, connecting entrepreneurs with vital resources, and organizing countywide events that provide platforms for businesses to grow and gain exposure.

Catherine ultimately founded the AAPI Chamber on three core pillars: representation, advocacy, and resources.

At the heart of her work, she wants to see independent businesses succeed.

Catherine's community service includes leading the media committee for the Southern Nevada Census 2020, serving on the YMCA Marketing Committee, Clark County's Pedestrian Safety Committee, and Board of Family Promise.

She is a stakeholder in the Spring Mountain Redevelopment Project, an advisor for Filipino Town, and is also working on the Fair Working Group of RTCSN.

Thank you for your work and advocacy, Catherine, for your friendship and for your leadership here in Southern Nevada, and congratulations.

In recognition of Asian Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern Heritage Month 2026, I'm pleased to honor Sergeant Chris Kinman with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Sergeant Kinman has been with Metro since 2010 and has been a part of several critical incidents.

One October and more recently, the UNLV Active Shooter Situation, where he was awarded the Medal of Valor for being one of the first officers inside the UNLV building.

I was fortunate enough to work with Sergeant Kinman when he was a COP sergeant for the South Central Area Command.

Besides his everyday work duties serving constituents of Districts A, E and G, Chris was instrumental in working with my office to kick off the guns versus hoses pickleball tournament and Toy Drive, which is now in its fourth year.

He has recently moved on to Metro's Community Engagement Bureau where he will no doubt continue to excel since community service is what drives him.

Sergeant Kinman raised over 125,000 for Behind the Blue.

Behind the Blue is dedicated to promoting the physical and mental wellness of law enforcement personnel in Southern Nevada.

A few more examples of Chris's community-driven commitment include him serving as a board member on the police managers and supervisors association charitable foundation, a nonprofit arm supporting local community initiatives, youth programs such as Cops for Kids, and educational scholarships.

She currently serves as Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Development at National Ace, where she helps support entrepreneurs across the country.

Through her work supporting small businesses, serving on the White House initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and giving back to our community, Janny continues to make a lasting impact across Southern Nevada.

Janny, thank you for everything you do to support small businesses, celebrate culture, and strengthen our community.

We are grateful for your leadership and proud to recognize you during APIME Heritage Month.

Congratulations.

Hi, I'm Marilyn Kirkpatrick, Clark County Commissioner for District B.

Me is Asian Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern Heritage Month.

It's a time to celebrate diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of these vibrant communities.

As you know, each one of the commissioners honors someone for this important month.

He has a plethora of jobs to do.

For instance, he oversees a $10 billion portfolio to make sure that the taxpayer money is being well spent and cared for.

He oversees the $11 billion budget.

He processed hundreds of thousands of checks every single year on behalf of Clark County.

Ken has been in our community for a very long time.

He went to Cashman Element uh middle school.

He went to Clark High School.

He graduated from UNLV.

He then went on to work for the Big Four, which is also known as the large CPA companies around the country.

And so Ken is a licensed CPA, but he's so much more than that to the community.

He's always giving back.

He goes out, he speaks with people.

He has two children.

He's a retired U.S.

vets with the Air Force.

So that's just a beginner of what Ken does.

Ken, thank you so much for your service to our community.

Thank you for the 22 years that you've given here at Clark County.

Ten of those years were in budget and internal audit.

Thank you for being our treasurer, and we look forward to celebrating you all year long.

Congratulations to all of the recipients today, and thank you for making Clark County that extra special place.

Commissioners, your next item is to recognize and present a proclamation designating May 2026 as National Mental Health Awareness Month in Clark County and honor Cook Center for Human Connection for their efforts to expand mental health access and unveil a new mental health awareness campaign.

Commissioner Jones.

Thank you, Mr.

County Manager.

Uh as we we all know, uh May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

We were out there uh changing the welcome Las Vegas sign green in recognition of this important uh month.

And we're today we're proud to unveil a powerful mental health awareness video created by Clark County in partnership with the Cook Center for Human Connection and so many incredible voices from across Las Vegas community.

Uh this project came about reminding people that they are not alone and that help, hope, and support are available right here in Clark County.

Mental health impacts individuals and families from every background, every age, and every community.

This video brought together incredible group of voices, including Penn and Teller, Carrot Top, Oscar De La Hoya, Connor Fields, community leaders, athletes, entertainers, first responders, educators, and local organizations, all united behind one message.

Mental health matters, and no one should struggle alone.

This video is continued commitment to supporting our community year-round.

We encourage everyone to share the video and check in one another.

Let's go ahead and roll the video.

Even the loudest voices need quiet moments.

Find your space and give yourself a moment.

We know the power of showing up for one another.

Your mental health health matters.

Courage is speaking up, reaching out, and asking for help when you need it.

Every reset is a new round.

Even the best drivers know when to slow down.

Check on your people like you check your prep.

Even headliners need support.

And laughed your heels, but so does asking for help.

Because strength isn't staying silent.

It's okay to reach out.

The real magic is asking for help.

It takes courage to ask for help.

And no one should have to carry what they're going through alone.

You are not alone.

You're not alone.

You are not alone.

You are never alone.

There are people who care, resources that can help, and a community ready to stand with you.

Our community needs you.

Taking care of your mental health is not a weakness.

It's one of the strongest things you can do.

Success means nothing if we're not taking care of ourselves and the people around us.

Your mental health is everything, so fight for it.

And in Las Vegas, showing up for one another is what makes us strong.

Together, Vegas strong.

Together.

Together.

Together.

We are Vegas Strong.

Vegas strong.

Together, we are Vegas strong.

With that, I'm going to invite down Mark Welling and Mary Cass from the Cook Center for Human Connection.

Uh they've been working on providing resources, particularly to parents.

We know that uh through COVID, lots of kids, uh, including my own struggled uh with mental health challenges, and they have provided some fantastic resources that complement all of the work that Clark County is doing uh to bring resources to our community on mental health.

I'm gonna pass the microphone to my friend Mark.

Thank you, thank you, Commissioner.

Uh, we're proud of this partnership and especially for this critical message that's coming out to our communities.

Uh partnering with Clark County at the Commissioner's office, Commissioner Jones, uh the work that Christina uh did with uh many voices in this community that shared the message that there's a power in connection and that that will uplift everyone in our community that have access to these important resources.

So thank you for this partnership, and we hope that you share this message and check out on your neighbors, your communities, your loved ones, not only during this month, but always to make sure that we have a strong thriving community because there's always power and connection.

So thank you.

Thank you, and I'm just gonna go to the Commissioners.

Commissioners, your next item is to present a proclamation to Steve Gerson, court executive officer in recognition of his retirement.

And many years of public service within the Clark County Justice System.

So I was talking to Steve about making sure everyone came out, and I said, you're here to make sure he's leaving, right?

Anyway, uh Steve has been really the definition of hurting cats.

Um trying to run district court judges who think they're all superior is almost impossible, but you've done a fantastic job.

More importantly, he's reached out to different courts.

Um so we we have courts that deal with different kinds of people that that we all need to respect and honor.

And so I can't think it'd be proud enough about what you've done, Steve.

Um and again, thank you so much for for um making Clark County better.

Uh I don't remember Jim, how many judges there were when we started, but it's probably like 10 or 11.

I think there were 10, 10, and now how many are there?

58.

58.

So you can see what he's had to manage.

So good luck.

Anyway, Steve, you want to say a few words?

Sure.

Thank you, uh, Commissioner Siggerbloom, Commissioners, uh, Kevin, Jessica, for giving um you this opportunity to uh be recognized in in front of your body.

Um I've had a wonderful opportunity to uh and humbled to serve uh the eighth judicial district court here in Clark County for it'll be 29 years when I retire.

Um you don't uh you're not able to be successful as a CEO without great chief judges.

I've served with Art Richie, um, Jennifer Togliati, Dave Barker, uh, Elizabeth Gonzalez, Linda Bell, and uh our current chief Jerry Weiss.

These are wonderful, incredible leaders and people.

Uh so I have a great deal of respect and appreciation and a sincere thank you for their leadership uh while I've been the CEO.

Um our staff is incredible.

The people that work for us are incredible.

Um, and I I really appreciate all the people that have served district court for all these years.

Um obviously uh my wife has uh conjured up uh all of our favors for all of our family members to show up today and all of our friends just to make sure the crowd has some people that uh you know support me, um, which is very nice.

I couldn't do it without my family, uh my son Andrew, uh my beautiful wife Gretchen, and um I just uh I'm very uh honored to have served district court in Clark County for all these years.

So thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Steve, again.

And in reference to the fact that Steve has reached out to made all these specialty courts, we now have an honor for the Lima project, which is one of those that coordinates with uh the police department.

It's fantastic.

So everybody's we're gonna read it.

I'll not read it.

Um next item is present a proclamation to the Lima program and staff in recognition of their service to the community, Commissioner Sagerboom.

Again, just thank you, Lima, for what you've done.

Uh reaching out of the community.

We all know that if we can divert people out of the criminal justice system, that's by far the best way to go.

And they're a great fantastic program working hand in hand with Metro.

So thank you all for coming down and ask you to say a few words.

I think this is the true definition of a rose among thorns.

Wow, this is such an honor.

Um, I'm gonna keep it short and just say what an honor it is to be up here with these um amazing leaders in our community.

Thank you, commissioners, for what you do um your compassion and passion to serve.

Thank you to for the partnership between Eighth Judicial District Court and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Our partnership is crucial to the work we get to do to serve our community with the Lima Diversion Program, which stands for law enforcement intervention for mental health and addiction.

Um, as we partner together, we're partnering with the vulnerable individuals that we get to serve in this community, um, which we are so grateful to do.

Without our partnership, we wouldn't be able to help with those public safety needs, um, help our people find a pathway to recovery.

Um, and each and every day, I am honored to be beside these amazing men, getting a chance to do that, um, and obviously helping them not cycle through the judicial system.

Uh, though we get to represent that, our goal is to connect them to the amazing services in our community to make sure we stay alongside them while they find their pathway, um, and then hopefully be able to give back to the community that has given so much to them by restoring their families, restoring their faith, uh, restoring their dignity, um their pride.

And so we are so honored that we get a chance to do that each and every day.

So thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you guys again.

Commissioners, your next item is to recognize the Clark County Social Services Department and their nonprofit partner, Nevada Senior Services.

We're receiving the 28th annual Cashman Good Government Award for their hospital to home program.

Um I'll do the presentation on this briefly.

Uh the Cashman Good Government Award honors government entities and individuals who put work for place experience together to make citizens' um services work better, faster, and cheaper.

It's innovative remindments of refinements of government operations and changes to processes and procedures that save staff and process timing.

Um, more specific to social service and Nevada Senior Service, the hospital to home program.

Um I actually began work on this almost eight years ago.

This supports individuals with complex discharge needs, their transition from hospital to home, reduces long-term hospital stays, frees critical community services, and increases access to hospital beds.

Um wait a sec.

Um yeah.

The other piece that I want to add to this, um, this is just another highlight of Clark County's amazing work.

Um, this has annually serves over 740 individuals, and it's estimated that it's saving over 11.9 million in return on investment by preventing costly readmissions and also improving the health and wellness of our constituents and our clients.

So I really want to congratulate Social Services, Nevada Senior Service on this.

They know I'm selfish to them and very proud of this.

A little bit closer if you can couple more.

Yeah, perfect.

A little bit more in the back.

Commissioners, your last recognition item is to recognize Clark County employees who have been selected as our Clark County value championship.

Hi, I'm Marilyn Kirkpatrick, and I'm here on behalf of my entire office in District B, and we really want to give a big shout out to Josh Erickson.

Well, there's so many great employees here at Clark County, and we recognize each and everything they do and make a difference.

Josh has gone above and beyond on so many different instances.

We wanted to make sure that he gets his own personal shout out.

Josh, thank you for all that you do.

There's not been a time where you have said no.

You show up every time you make sure everything is all well put together.

You find the resources.

And you haven't offered when I haven't even asked.

So Josh, thank you so much for all you've done.

Clark County is so lucky to have you, and we can't wait until we get to work with you again.

Thank you again, Josh.

Hi, my name is Pam Koseski, and I am very honored to be here today to speak about the Clark County Fire Department IT division.

These four individuals handle 32 fire stations, 10 rural fire stations, 365 days a year, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

If anyone deserves to be recognized, it's Eric, Anthony, Ahmad, and Chris.

So congratulations.

You deserve this.

When you talk about uh 500 plus buildings, um, and every little detail that goes in with that, um, specific to Josh, I get to sit with him pretty regularly on multiple projects, so not only existing buildings, TIs, new buildings.

Um, I'm gonna give a shout-out for one.

We have an opioid treatment center we're working on off of Buffalo.

Um, I think I told him when I was there, it's probably one of the most amazing jobs I've seen related to converting a building into uh treatment center.

So they just do endless work.

I think he's a representative of RPM and all the things they do every day.

And then for fire, what can I say?

Yesterday we were at a training center groundbreaking.

Um back of the house, you guys are doing a lot.

Um, there's emergencies, there's response, there's constituents.

As I always say, you have to connect all the dots.

Um, and you guys run like a Porsche.

If if things aren't working, um, things go down, and you're dealing with people's lives.

So really want to recognize you, and then I want to hand it over to Commissioner Kirkpatrick to see if she wants to say anything.

Oh, are you kidding?

I wasn't planned, but I'm pretty good on my feet.

So I really uh look, Clark County, I always say we got to tell our story because we have 10,000 plus amazing employees.

And the thing about most uh county employees is it's never no how do we get there and what issue are you trying to solve.

So you all are a representation uh of that.

And I was just telling Commissioner Gibson specifically to Josh is that Josh starts in Henderson at 5 30 in the morning and gets home at 8 30 in Henderson uh at night, but it's seven days a week, and that is really a testament to who we are as county employees and what we do.

We are so busy fixing and providing and servicing and making sure that everything is together.

So when people do come to us, that we have a safe and stable uh place for them to get what they need.

So we couldn't do it without all of you, and you are a real postage stamp of what Clark County has to offer.

So congratulations, but most importantly, please thank all of your families because I know that families, you know, have to wait a minute for baseball uh games or dinner at night, and it's because you are serving the public, and we appreciate that.

So on behalf of all the commissioners, congratulations.

Well, thank you, everybody, and thank you for those who are here for uh participating in that recognition ceremony this morning.

It I think clearly demonstrates the breadth of what we do at Clark County and just how much is going on in this organization.

So we thank you for that.

Uh this can bring us to section three of our agenda, which is the public forum.

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

Uh anyone wishing to speak can come forward at this time, speak for up to three minutes, and please state your name for the record.

Good morning, county commissioners.

My name is Miguel Canales from the Colonel Union.

Speaking on item 71.

Last Friday, DBE workers talked to the general managers about the tenant agreement.

And we still don't know why the company's taking so long to sign to the sign.

I have a DBE worker would like to comment on this.

Uh good morning, Commissioners.

My name is Chris Sines.

I was here two weeks ago.

The committee accepted the company proposal on May 1st.

My colleagues Tony and Manny, who are at that meeting, were there.

It has been 19 days later, and the companies have stalled.

We cannot let the DBE companies continue to delay our workers need this wage increase and retro pay.

This delay is unacceptable.

I hope we can count on the county commissioners for your support so we can finish the process and get a fair contract.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

And if you want to line up at two different microphones, we'll take you one at a time.

Good morning.

Morning, Commissioners.

Brian Ayala, 4149 Wagon Trail Lane, uh representing the day one group, one of the uh nine ACDB companies.

We have come to an agreement with the union.

We're just going through the process of dotting the I's crossing the T's, making sure all nine uh entities have a chance to redo.

That's it.

There's nothing holding anything up.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Uh, my name is Noah Fischell, and uh at this point I would actually like to yield my three minutes to Miss Leah Mayo D'Eriso.

So we don't yield time, she can have her own three minutes.

She's entitled to.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Um, so I'm gonna try to make this fit in with the three minutes that I've been given.

Uh today, the Clark County Commission wants to sell the public a polished sanitized version of the Las Vegas Grand Prix resolution.

They want residents to hear three-day race weekend.

Uh they want the headline to send.

But you do, I'm sorry, for under our rules, you have to state your name for the record.

I'm so sorry.

That's all right.

Lisa Mayo D'Eriso.

May owned associates.

Is that good?

Thank you.

Um, they want the cameras focused on the strip lights, celebrity parties, and corporate sponsors.

But the people who actually live here know the truth.

This is not a three-day event.

This is months of lane reductions, traffic nightmares, torn-up roads, blocked access, disrupted commutes, delayed deliveries, and customers who stip simply stop coming.

Businesses near the race corridor are devastated annually by the impacts from construction and road closures tied to Formula One present uh preparations.

And now the commission wants to extend that extend the chaos to 2037.

Think about that.

Uh the resolution talks about race days, but where is the language about the months of disruption leading up to those race days?

Where's the language about the restaurant owner who loses regular customers because nobody can get to their business?

Where's the language about workers stuck in traffic for hours?

Where's the language about local families avoiding the entire corridor because getting anywhere becomes a nightmare?

It's missing because those reality realities are inconvenient to the sales pitch.

Uh businesses may cash in, but small businesses, the backbone of this community are too often left behind.

And let's be honest something about something else.

The commission is trying to lock future residents, future businesses, and future elected officials into a long-term arrangement before the public has truly had an honest, open, transparent conversation about this event.

And here's the part that nobody wants to hear.

It's three days until early voting begins.

Ballots are sitting on kitchen counters all across Clark County right now.

The voters are paying attention.

And if residents are tired of the traffic, tired of the disruptions, tired of politicians putting corporate interests ahead of local neighborhoods and small businesses, then vote today against the two incumbents who are on the ballot.

Thank you.

Thank you.

For the record, I believe that those comments were related to item 72.

Anyone wishing to speak, please state your name for the record and the item you're speaking towards.

Good morning.

My name is Gwen Dwiggins, G W E N D W I G G I N S for the record.

My address is 9671 Rankin Ridge court.

I am here to speak on item 43.

I'm here to ask the commissioners to strongly reconsider extending exclusivity to UMC in their relationship with UNLV to be the sole placement for residencies.

While UMC has its strengths and many merits, the lack of a self-standing children's hospital with a focus on all areas of pediatric health needs to be addressed in our community.

As a parent, when I moved here in 2013, there were inadequate care options for my five-year-old who needed pediatric endocrinologist.

Back to Ohio two to four times per year for seven years to get him the care he needed.

No more families should have to leave Las Vegas to ensure access to medical care for their children.

Second, while UMC is known for its trauma burn and transplant services as a training site, it's grossly limited, and it's worth in the workforce that it can train and develop in other specialties.

Diversity and training sites can only add diversity and training, specialty options, and often increases rigor, knowing that you're not the only game in town.

Choices for families are crucial.

The more crucial is simple access, which in turn provides more training opportunities to students and residents.

This is a critical to grow the workforce of qualified pediatric health care providers and the potential for these providers to remain here in Las Vegas, specifically allowing Intermountain Health, the News Children's Hospital to offer and accept residency, build our community while keeping Medicaid and commercial insurance dollars local, versus continuing to have these dollars go to California and Utah.

Please seriously consider this relationship and the exclusivity pathway.

It's bad for our economy and it's detrimental to our children who deserve access to high quality pediatric care.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning, everyone.

My name is Cyrus Hojati, and I'm an employee of Desert Cab, and I like to represent all cab limo and rideshare drivers.

And let me tell you something, you guys need us.

Cyrus, C Y R U S H O J J A T Y.

I'm opposed to item number 72.

This F1 race has brought a lot of hassle, concern, stress into the streets.

This takes about three months of setup and planning.

Lots of congestion.

This means, as a driver, if I don't check the route and find a bypass and get stuck, I could seriously get screwed.

It increases our stress.

It increases our accident race risk.

It's very dangerous to drive around these areas when these places are being set up.

Stop lights don't work efficiently.

Lane markings aren't even showed properly.

Okay, we don't have these little things that they install in the boulevard.

They're just basically paint.

How can we see them with all too much lights or all the sun and everything?

And I would suggest to have this event every three years.

I'm not anti-racing, but I think we need a little bit of a break.

A lot of these writers we get are very spoiled, pushy.

My earnings from last year was worse than the previous two years.

I mean, this is serious because we as employees working in the tourist sector, we're not making much dry spell from November to December.

This is disproportionately hurting small businesses.

It's reducing the access points of many condos around the area.

Seriously, think about it.

Has this actually helped tourism numbers?

According to the L V C VA, visitor volume peaked in 2016.

What happened in 2016?

That oh, yeah, parking valet charges.

That's right.

Our reputation is being harmed, as this is mainly catering to the upper 20% or certain types of tourists.

I'd like to ask, ladies and gentlemen, why hasn't the establishment corporate media has ever done a poll of registered voters of whether they like F1 in their communities, particularly their workers who work in the tourist area?

And more importantly, we don't have a true mass transit system to take people in an alternative route if there's just so much congestion.

Honestly, the so-called loop tunnels.

How do we know that's gonna work?

How do we know that there's gonna be enough capacity?

This has been a pretty stressful experience for me driving around, going through all the congestion.

And I'm concerned about my livelihood.

I, you know, trying to make a living.

This is why I'm trying alternative sources of living, doing my first project off topic.

But please reconsider this decision, have some compromise deal.

We ask you to think twice about this plan or even not go on with it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Eric Bellou, 1063 Amberwood Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89144.

I'm here to talk about uh item 43.

I'm passionate about pediatric health care because of my son Tyler Ballou.

Tyler was a thriving eighth grader at Sig Rogic Middle School, always playing sports and spending time with his incredible friends when he was diagnosed with cancer at 11 years old.

We found him incredible doctors at St.

Jude and Cedar Sinai, and I would have gone anywhere in the world for his treatment.

But that meant five months with our family living in separate states.

My wife Renee and I traded places every seven to ten days, so Tyler was never alone.

We were an outlier and I had flexibility.

Most Nevada parents don't have.

Most families here cannot afford two one-way airline tickets every single week.

We lost Tyler in December of 2022.

We had to pull our vehicle over on the shoulder of I-15 to call an ambulance just outside of Baker, California.

We were on our way to Los Angeles for Tyler to get his cancer treatment the next morning.

The clouds that night were too low for a helicopter.

We waited 40 minutes with the 911 dispatcher on the line.

When the ambulance arrived, Tyler flatlined.

I was doing chest compressions while Renee squeezed the oxygen bag and the paramedic worked to clear his airway as the ambulance raced to the emergency room.

Tyler never spoke to us again.

We ultimately lost him a few hours later after being moved to Loma Linda Children's Hospital.

Tyler's story is not unique.

We are losing Nevada children on the interstate because they must travel out of state for treatment.

With what they have, and that's exactly the point.

We need more of them.

Pediatric specialists trained right here in Las Vegas that stay in Las Vegas.

The City of Las Vegas honored Tyler's Citizen of the Month in May 2025 for his strength and courage.

Two weeks ago, Metro Police shared some of his story and his Teddy Bear donation.

The post received three times their normal social media engagement.

Tyler's journey resonates because every parent here can imagine what it means to need great medicine for their child and not have the specialists needed in the state.

Every business leader knows that great hospitals are infrastructure as essential as roads and airports driving economic growth.

Ultimately, Nevada has a responsibility to take care of Nevada children.

Great medicine is not a partisan issue, it is a Nevada issue.

We are rapidly growing, and this issue is too important for it to become a turf war over who should provide care to kids in Las Vegas.

This is an all-hands call, and we need absolutely everyone contributing.

Tyler never wanted to be known as the kid with cancer.

He just wanted to be home with his friends.

I would give anything for one more day with my son.

If we weren't so isolated when we called 911, could we have had one more Christmas?

I want the next Tyler in Las Vegas to get treatment here in the community in the morning and be home in time to play with his little sisters or make it to football practice in the afternoon.

My girls miss their brother.

Thank you for letting me share Tyler's story.

Thank you for being here.

Good morning.

Good morning, Chair Commissioners.

My name is Virginia Valentine.

I'm with the Nevada Resort Association.

I'm here to speak in support of item 48, which will fund the preparation and submission of reports required under AB4 to the county commissioners in the Nevada legislature and coordination with county and state stakeholders and support data reporting.

So we appreciate your support of this item and all the work you do for all of this.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Hello, my name is uh Al Rojas.

Um I live in Sunrise Manor.

Um for those who don't know, I've been involved in neighborhood watch digital, and we've been involved with over 50 encampment removals and 50 RV removals.

I'm speaking on item number 7, which is the proposed closing of the Arroyo Walkway or the Arroyo Pathway from Sahara to Boulder City.

I am in total support of that.

We have to get on top of this homeless problem, and we've been doing major progress.

We want to thank our commissioners for their no camping ordinance.

And our digital group has been working hard with the cooperation of our commissioners, and we're making significant progress.

And people are actually coming up to me while I pump my gas at the gas station and saying, hey, you guys are doing a fantastic job.

So it may be temporarily closed for a while.

We can always close it back up when we get on top of things.

I totally support that.

Whoever came up with that idea was a fantastic idea.

I want to let the county know the the and the residents that we are moving forward, and the new accounting ordinance is doing fantastic.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning once again, esteemed leaders, commissioners.

Thank you all.

My name is Eric King, and I would like to speak on items in behalf of uh items which I just had here.

Um that are including uh number uh item number two and uh also uh item number six.

Um I'd like to hear rules you can speak on items on section four or later.

So section six, you can speak on now if you'd like to.

Section six section six.

I uh I'm sorry, actually, neither of those items are on section four.

Is there anything later in the agenda you're here to speak on?

Otherwise, you can wait till the second time set aside for public.

Uh I am here to well, I was here to speak on behalf of senior services.

Uh I believe there's another item, I just don't know the number right now on uh senior housing and so forth.

Um so I'd like to speak on behalf of seniors and veterans that are seniors, if that's all right, uh, for a couple minutes.

I believe we have an item related to CDAC that that could apply to.

Okay, thank you very much.

I I hadn't put the number in my head on that one, so forgive me.

Um here I have two minutes.

Um, in on behalf of it being public islander, as well as there's plenty of seniors that are public islanders here.

I like to say aloha and Mahala Nui for the graciousness that was shown to them today.

Uh so the aloha spirit is quite a special thing.

It beats ever stronger here and makes hearts sing here in the 9th island of Las Vegas and Clark County, where we've reduced the blowing sand.

Here hearts come alive, helping others thrive when the spirit of Aloha roll rolls along on winds that blow.

A healthier, stronger community nearer to make all of our lives happier and clearer.

We want that all for seniors and their health and their longevity.

Certainly, everyone would agree with me on that.

I'd be really excited to continue dialogues begun already on behalf of the seniors, uh, also the health conditions for them here.

And I want to say thank you very much.

It's just part of why I came to the graciousness offered to me by you, Chairman Knaft, when I spoke with you a couple weeks back on some other items.

So thank you all for that.

Thank you for hearing this little invocation that I had about Pacific Islander Month in honor of it and seniors that are here in the community from the other eight islands and all around the Pacific.

You all are gracious for it, and I'm cherished that you allowed me to say that.

Thank you all very much.

Thank you, and I believe those comments were related to item 76.

Uh anyone else wishing to speak on public comment, please come forward at this time.

Good morning.

Uh good morning, commissioners.

My name is Alan Snell.

And I'm here to speak on item 73, complete streets.

I was very happy to see that on the agenda.

And complete streets is essential for Clark County in the Las Vegas area.

It's the notion that our public roads are need to be engineered for all users, not just people who drive cars, but people who ride bicycles and walk and wheelchairs and any other way of transportation.

I don't have to tell you about Clark County in the Las Vegas area about the need to improve our roads for people other than just drivers.

I felt so strongly about this at 20 years ago.

I actually left my career.

I had worked as a journalist.

I was at the Tampa Tribune covering the business of sports and stadiums, and I actually left because so many people were being killed on our roads, bicyclists and walkers.

I left journalism and I worked six and a half years full time on bicycle safety, road safety issues.

When I moved to Las Vegas in 2012 and got back into the business, I was concerned that so many so many crashes seem to be almost taken for granted.

I was kind of astonished by that.

And complete streets is such an important tool.

And I'm so glad that Commissioner Jones has brought this to the agenda.

It's really essential that we work on this particular topic.

This is a transportation issue.

This is a public safety issue.

And I want to point out some projects that show that you guys are actually on the on the right track.

Fort Apache Road was a row that was completely dangerous.

Commissioner Jones helped get that road rebuilt.

I bite that road.

I biked it once, I said never again.

But since it was rebuilt, now I'm using it.

It's part of my route.

Another great project has been uh an issue that um I've kind of brought to some folks' attention, and that is our trail system.

You have a very long system along the Route 215 highway, and you have a trail that crosses Charleston.

The curb cuts for bicyclists were at a 45-degree angle.

That's the way you designed those trails.

And it was extremely dangerous.

It's really just for the grace of God that people have not been killed or injured there.

Again, led by Commissioner Jones.

There's a tunnel being built.

Great, great move.

For more than 20 years, people have asked for a trail from Summerlin to the Red Rock through the Red Rock Canyon, at least to the Red Rock Loop.

And I'm glad to say that I was happy to celebrate that opening uh only a few weeks ago.99 of a mile.

There's uh obviously a little more to go, and it's uh it's it's on track, so I'm really happy about that.

And also, Commissioner Jones has created a uh he worked on a um mountain bike.

Uh I hate to cut off your compliments, but you gotta wrap up, Mr.

Snell.

Okay.

Um please work on this.

Work with the city of Las Vegas.

I would suggest that you create a department of metro bicycle and walking and um an improve in this area.

Thanks for theone else wishing to speak during the first time set aside for public comment.

Please come forward at this time.

Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing.

This moves us to section four of the agenda.

Commissioners, your next item is approval of the minutes of the regular meeting on April 21st, 2026.

Mr.

Chair, I move approval the minutes.

Thank you.

There's a motion for approval.

Please cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Commissioner's your next items approval of the agenda with the inclusion of any emergency items and the deletion of any items.

Staff is recommending that item 43 under your consent agenda be taken separately.

With that right into the record, I move approval the agenda.

Thank you.

There's a motion for approval with item 43 being heard separately.

Commissioners, we can now move to the approval of your consent agenda consisting of items number 11 through number 50, number 43 will be taken separately.

I move approval of our consent agenda, items 11 through 50 with 43 taken separately.

There's a motion for approval.

Please cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Commissioners will now move to item 43, which is to approve and authorize the chief executive officer to sign the academic health center master affiliation agreement between the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education on behalf of the University of Nevada Las Vegas and at School of Medicine and University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, or take other action as deemed appropriate.

Commissioners, before you um hear this item, there are two proposed changes to the agreement for the trustees to consider.

The first is to revise the term of the agreement to a five-year agreement to remove the auto renewal provision.

Therefore, section 13.1 would read this agreement shall have a term of five years from the effective date.

Such expiration to conside with the end of the academic year.

At least 12 months prior to the expiration of the term, the parties will commence good faith efforts towards extending the term of the agreement or ending the affiliation in such a way that will cause the least interruption to the education and ongoing operation of the School of Medicine in UMC.

And then I'm consistent with that change to make it a five-year agreement in section uh 3.2, the first three sentences would also be deleted.

And then there's a second request to amend uh section 3.3a.

And then there's a second request to amend uh section 3.3a, and the proposal would be to add uh starting a new pediatric residency program with another hospital at the end of 3.31, which would allow UNLV School of Medicine to have a non-exclusive relationship with respect to the pediatric residency program.

Thank you, Miss Logson.

I uh really appreciate you working with all of the stakeholders to get to that amended language that you just read into the record to recap uh what you've indicated that calls for a five-year agreement with a removal of auto renewals, no exclusive exclusivity for pediatrics.

Um again, this is uh this has been a long process to get to this point, but it's something that I believe incorporates uh all of the stakeholders' concerns.

I want to open up the floor now for comments uh from this board, uh Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

Uh thank you, uh Mr.

Chair.

And I I'm struggling.

Um there's a lot of great things in here, but I I specifically asked for a separate board that we could have conversations so that the whole community could know specifically what what are we doing?

Because it is not um I don't know what we're doing, and I'm pretty in the no, right?

So I am uh in the GME um issue is a hot topic for the state, for the feds, for the locally.

So uh I just want to have some discussion on expectations on section three, because it says that there's a GME agreements that's coming back to us.

So I I kind of want to know what does that mean?

Because it's gonna make or break where I go today.

And and the reason is because I use specific examples of other states that had John Hopkins University, UCLA, they all have a separate board, so everybody kind of knows where where we're headed.

And um, I don't I I think it's important for everybody to know, right?

Are we missing the mark?

I sit on a couple boards where you know, I can't even really say if we're missing the bark, right?

Some state boards never meet, some other ones do meet.

So I just I want someone to tell me what what should I expect or not expect so I can wrap my brain around my decision today.

Thank thank you, Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

I I'm imagine Ms.

Longston will uh encapsulate some of what you're looking for, but uh I think you'd have brought this up many times over the years.

I think uh your desire to have more oversight over this relationship is not lost on anyone here.

Um Lisa.

It's lost in the paper.

Well, let's try to fix that.

So in section three and 3.1, there is the establishment of a of a graduate medical education consortiism.

And so um, under the agreement, UNLV and um UMC will work collaborating to uh establish necessary expansion of those programs.

And so one of the first tasks of that is you know, for that those two organizations to meet in in section 3.1, section five, there it says if any third party um should be involved in that in the scope of what that would look like.

So it sounds like maybe you think there's some state stakeholders and some other stakeholders.

So I think if we want to provide that direction, the parties can work for that.

Yes, and I'm sorry, I don't mean to say listen, but here's the thing.

I wrote the original legislation, just FYI, why I'm so interested in this.

And we spent a lot of money separating from UNR at the time, but I felt that we needed to have a lot of this.

We have since committed to all these GME programs, whether it be UMC, the state did some extras, some other hospitals, but then we're not.

I could show you the list, and it's got better this last time of the people that are leaving.

Why are they leaving?

I don't know because I can't find any conversation about what that looks like.

So I I would like to see some oversight.

I would like to tell parents that we need all these people.

I could walk back to when we brought Dr.

Troy Reina to Sunrise because there was not a second opinion in this town, right?

So I want it, I want it to be very transparent.

I want it to be mission-driven.

I want it to have other people on it so that we can all figure out regionally what's in the best interest of this community.

And it's all of those things, right?

So is that something that they could bring back?

And if they don't bring it back, then what is what are my consequences?

What are their consequences if they don't bring something back like that?

So each year, this agreement also comes before this board.

Um, because right now you're you know you're authorizing about 17 million dollars in the graduate medical education and you know, in the support um between UNLB and UMC.

So this agreement will come back to you for next year for that funding.

So if maybe we continue to work on that process, and it could be an amendment in the next future, kind of based on this direction.

And is there not like a regular report or another commissioner that could sit on this?

I just feel like they're I know I hate to be blowing up a deal, but this was a deal for me for a long time, right?

Because I think that we need to do better.

We need to have every type and not just change when something new comes to our community, right?

So pediatrics we've been fighting for years and years and years.

Okay, but we need all aspects.

If and I will tell my colleagues, you can look.

We don't have pediatric radiology, we don't have there's a list of what we don't have.

But then what about my senior citizens?

We don't have ear, nose, and throat doctors here.

We don't have all of those things, and it would be nice if somebody kind of said this board public meeting where everybody could hear it.

I could watch it.

I don't have to go to everything and make people crazy, but I could watch it and see if we're hitting the mission.

We're we're making a dent in the mark of what we need.

So if you tell me that I could hold up the whole thing and the board will agree with me with their money, then maybe I feel comfortable voting for it.

But I'm serious about wanting this separate board.

So I see you UNLB, I see UMC in here.

I want you to.

I'm not kidding.

I want this separate board, like other states have that are professional with you uh medical schools, and I'm not gonna stop asking until I get it.

So I I think we have several people in the audience who are shaking their head, including uh our president and our CEO of the hospital and university.

Um Commissioner Sagerblum.

Yeah, just uh to echo what Marilyn said, but I think this is the first step.

You know, we needed to get involved in this process because with the the two sides weren't talking uh now.

I think we've interjected ourselves in.

But remember, UMC is the Clark County Commission, so we can do anything on the UMC side.

We can be in any meeting we want to be on, we can publicize anything we want to publicize, but we need to get this thing started, I think, make sure that the medical school and the and the new children's hospital can work together going forward, and now we're gonna take over UMC, so we can we we can be more involved.

But I think that's a good thing.

So is that a commitment from you that you're gonna hold their money if we don't get this agreement?

Is that what you're saying?

Because I'll do more than hold their money.

I want to make sure it doesn't happen.

Okay, perfect.

Commissioner McCurdy.

Yeah, no, I think uh Commissioner Kirkpatrick makes a strong point.

It has been brought up several times.

Uh I'd be more than happy to work with you, bring everyone together and bring all the stakeholders together, make sure that we get this done.

But also just want to note that we've come a long way with having this agreement before us today.

Uh, it's been a lot of conversations, a lot of meetings, and and a lot of deliberation about where we're going into the future.

And I'm just so proud of the work that has been done uh to get us to this point and thank you, uh chairman, for making sure that we got here.

So uh I think I think this is a good deal.

Thank you.

If there's no other discussion on this item, uh I'm prepared to move for a motion of approval of item 43 with the additional amendments read into the record by Ms.

Logston.

Uh please cast in the commitments that we're gonna revisit this GME uh my motion is inclusive of Commissioner.

Okay, because I'm gonna hold you all to it.

I move approval.

That motion passes.

Thank you.

Commissioners, there's been a request to move uh quickly to you.

Uh uh, I'm sorry, before before we wrap up that uh manager Schiller.

I I did just want to comment though that now that that item is behind us.

This is actually a really exciting time for health care in this community.

If I want to draw some attention if people leave, there are several items beyond that one we just heard on today's agenda.

The affiliation agreement is significant, it's a big step forward.

The comments that were made are important.

Uh but also today we've got a TEFRA hearing item 61 related to Intermountain, the state's first standalone pediatric hospital that's coming to our valley.

Tomorrow we have multiple items related to that as well during our in our capacity as a land use board.

Uh there are some really exciting things happening, and it's a tribute uh to a lot of people in and outside of this room.

So I didn't want to let that moment pass without saying that.

Thank you.

Commissioner has been a request to go to item 74 under your business section, and then we'll move to public hearings.

Um item 74 is to receive a presentation from the A's on the stadium development, including the phasing of development and design elements of the site and direct staff accordingly.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Great.

Sandy Dean with the ownership group of the A's.

I'm joined by Mark Badane and Tyler Vannicott.

And we're gonna uh each of us uh address a section of the presentation.

We're gonna begin with Tyler who's from Mortenson McCarthy, uh, who's gonna give a construction update on what's happening with the ballpark.

And I just want to say this is my first time being back here in a year, and we we're excited to get to share with you the progress that's been made in what we're doing together.

Uh Tyler.

Uh good morning.

Thank you, Sandy.

Um, Clark County Board of Commissioners, thank you for the opportunity to share uh on behalf of Mortenson McCarthy, also known as MMJV.

Um I am Tyler Vanicott, the project director representing uh both firms today.

Um so currently I just wanted to start with sharing a little bit about where we're at with our craft workforce.

We have around 550 craft workforce on site each and every day that are contributing and uh and really doing a tremendous job performing the work here on site.

Uh none of that would be possible if it wasn't for all of the work that went into the approvals, the time, the energy of uh Clark County, the uh water reclamation, um, the building department, uh public works, all of the above, and I just want to be extremely appreciative of that group.

There's tireless amount of hours and effort that's going in behind the scenes that a lot of people don't see that's contributing to the success of the ballpark of where we're at today.

Uh we'll go ahead and go to the next slide, please.

Uh I'm gonna start with um some of the information here on both uh the construction update and the project coordination.

Um, not intended to read every single line item here.

Uh there's also some photos that we'll speak to here in a moment that help illustrate uh a lot of the progress that's happened on site.

Um, but there is tremendous amount of work happening on pretty much every single level of the ballpark currently.

Uh we are poured out with our um structural concrete on our uh uh lower suite level as well as our main concourse level.

So that's creating a full um walkway around the full extent of the ballpark.

Uh we're currently working on our event level, so we have activities such as slab on grade that's progressing, um, and then uh interior CME walls.

Uh we're working on the exterior of the ballpark, so we're looking at actually trying starting to enclose some of these areas so that we can continue with um successor work, uh, which is really exciting, and then um, you know, probably most exciting that a lot of people are uh able to see um as they're driving by the ballpark is looking at the steel structure itself.

Uh we have the um the bowl structure that's continue to progress on site.

We're fabricating the large truss assemblies on the ground, which I'll show some pictures of, and then we have these substantial shoring towers, which are gonna hold up that roof structure, uh, which are really exciting.

Um, a lot of the things happening behind the scenes, so you know, project coordination continues to go well again with the efforts of Clark County, which we're very appreciative of.

All primary permit packages for the building have been approved.

Um we're getting a lot of uh deliveries of uh off-site fabricated elements such as the escalators, um, and then continuing all of our uh fabrication of steel off-site.

Again, a lot of this is helpful when we look at some of the pictures, which I'll speak more to uh so the video here helps demonstrate a lot of a lot of the progress that's happened since February.

We wanted to just help illustrate a lot of the work that's happening in such a short amount of time.

So this video flies over uh starting around you know the south end of the ballpark.

But when I say that the structural decks are complete, even when you fast forward or when you rewind to February, a lot of that work was still in progress.

Uh at this time in the ballpark, um, we're now in March.

We hadn't even started any of the the structural steel that I had uh mentioned previously.

So all of what you see there that is the structural steel in the ballpark just started more recently that you start to see here in this this uh video here in April.

Uh the green shoring towers, this is uh those have been elevated since this was shot.

Um that's really I think helping everybody visualize uh how substantial some of this structure will be when we talk about the roof structure in particular.

Uh this video here on April 20th, it actually is showing in the top left corner currently that last pan-injoist uh deck pour that we had that was uh uh shortly after this video was taken.

Um we had a nice opportunity to celebrate with the craft after that, in which uh Mr.

John Fisher joined us as well.

Uh here in this video, you're seeing that large crane being erected.

So that is one of the largest cranes in North America that we currently have on site.

That'll help support the erection of the uh trust deal.

Uh and then since uh that video has been filmed, we have another one here on the southeast corner as well that'll help uh erect some of this steel.

So uh exciting, you know, for us construction nerds, but um again, it's hopefully exciting for you as well because this is uh a lot of your efforts have helped contribute to this clearly.

Uh so speaking a little bit about some upcoming milestones, you know, we've talked a little bit about where we've been.

Uh now I'd like to start sharing a bit about where we're going.

So those shoring towers, not going to speak about those again, but um, what we now have is two of those you know, very large uh roof structure tower uh cranes that are gonna help support the erection of the uh the primary structure.

And you know, a lot of what this visual is intended to help communicate is the progression of what you're gonna see here in the next couple months with the the roof steel in particular.

So we're gonna start the actual assembly.

Uh we've assembled these trusses on the ground, and we're gonna start setting those in place here early June.

So for anybody driving around the ballpark looking at the ballpark, it's gonna start to look substantially different, which we're very excited about.

We spoke a bit about the masonry.

Um, another exciting activity is in about three weeks, we're gonna start our precast stadia.

So that is precast treads that's gonna sit and actually create the the bowl in which people will sit on, um, and that'll uh that'll sit on top of the steel that you saw in the previous video and photos.

Um MEP underground interior roughen and framing.

I'm gonna skip to some of the photos because I think that'll be help um more helpful to illustrate.

Um for this slide.

What I really want to communicate here is we're extremely excited to share that we are on schedule.

Uh again, that's because of the contributions of the county.

It's because of the tremendous workforce.

Um, but you know, a big part of what uh our obligation is is meeting the obligations and the dates in which we've committed to, and we're excited to share today that we uh continue to be on schedule.

Um the next video here is our 4D model.

Uh, this is helping to illustrate our plan that we use to communicate with uh both our trade partners, um, maybe community members, uh, what the visualization is and the progression of the work here.

So this goes all the way back to a year ago when we just started with earth work.

What you're seeing here is a lot of the piles and the foundations going into place.

Um right behind where that tower crane is, uh, you know, roughly speaking, is uh home plate right at the diamond there.

So our work started behind home plate.

So any time that you're either visiting the site or you're looking at the ballpark, you'll see the most progression of work right behind home plate, and then uh we've progressed up and then out.

So this video will help illustrate and communicate as that structure is started to come up and then continue to work its way around.

Uh this is roughly speaking, um, probably in the you know, January to February of this year time frame, uh, getting closer to the March April currently, and then when that steel started in the bowl was in April.

Uh so this is a plan that is really helpful to make sure that we don't have any issues that surprise us in the future.

It's a way that we can visualize, make sure that we're executing the work safely, and make sure that we are thinking of any potential problems that could arise in the future.

So the environment that we create and we help establish is one in which everyone can speak up, everyone has a voice, and this is a tool that allows for anybody to be able to speak up and say, hey, I have a concern, I have a question, and I'd like to make sure that we're on the same page.

This is getting closer to the end of this year.

We're getting, you know, close-ish to uh roof structure finalizing, which will happen in uh 2027.

A lot of the uh enclosure on the roof is going in at this time and progressing around the ballpark.

There's these really tremendous ETFE and PTFE is what it's called.

That's the clear stories that you see at the very top of the ballpark between the different pennants.

That's what's being illustrated here in the green coming across the ballpark now.

And then one of the final elements and one of the most uh extraordinary aspects of the build will be the cable net on the very north side of the ballpark that looks out at the tremendous strip view, and that's what you're seeing being glazed here in the video.

The final couple months after the project gets glazed is purely us finishing out the interiors, finishing up our commissioning, and uh and then we're done.

So that's all it takes.

Uh okay, just a couple more here to make sure that you're following the progression of the ballpark.

As I know uh words are not always as helpful as visuals.

So this visual really helps illustrate the exterior facade.

Um, that you know, blue uh that you see is our exterior weather board.

Um, that's helping us get enclosed for the event level and lower suite level.

Uh this slide's helping to illustrate some of that bull steel.

Um, you can see the large truss steel, and there's another photo here in the background, the shoring towers, and then the substantial uh crane in the middle of the ballpark.

Um the other image that you can see in the bottom left of this photo is one of the buttresses.

Uh so these are this is the foundation that'll actually hold up the roof steel itself, and uh and those trusses that you see in the this image.

Um don't let the images fool you here, and for anybody that's driven by the ballpark, uh this is you know substantially very large steel that uh that we're putting really sophisticated plans in order to make sure that we don't have any problems.

But uh, this is the steel that you're gonna start seeing being erected early June.

Uh this is showing some of the steel progression, but then I want to point your attention attention to the bottom photos.

This is showing the progression of some of the interior work, the framing, the interior MEP, a lot of our slab on grade work, uh, and then the start of some of the CMU progressing on those levels as well.

Uh and then I think this photo on the bottom on the left side is is just fun to help understand how large these buttresses are that supporting the trust deal.

Uh before we get to outside the ballpark, I wanted to just take a moment to speak about how we're progressing on uh our community participation.

There is a slide on this in just a moment, but I'm excited to share that we are continuing to uh meet the requirements of SB1.

This is not only a requirement for us, but it's how we conduct our business.

It matters, it makes a difference, and uh it's something that really does uh does matter.

So we're currently trending at uh 15.08 of the required 15%.

But what that translates to, and I think is a little bit more tangible.

Uh make sure I get the number right.

I want to make sure I get the number right.

Uh 155 million dollars of committed funds to small business firms.

Um, so a substantial dollar value.

Additionally, as it relates to workforce, we're currently trending around 78% of uh targeted workforce uh above the required 51%.

I'd like to hand it back to Mr.

Sandy Dean.

Thanks, Tyler.

And um, you know, I'll just say even from the perimeter of the site now, you can really see the bowl taking shape and how vertical it's going to be.

And I uh for people who've toured the site, you can really see you can get a feel for how close the seats are gonna feel to the field.

So there's a lot of excitement there.

Tyler has basically been describing everything that's happening inside the perimeter of the ballpark for ourselves internally.

We often talk about that as inside the nine acres.

Our ballpark site is exactly a nine-acre circle.

Um I'm gonna take a moment and talk some about what is going on outside the nine acres.

Bally's our partner is in charge of what happens outside the nine acres, and also we can build things for the ballpark outside the nine acres if it's consistent with Bally's plan and needed for the ballpark.

Our entitlements for the ballpark included the approval of a 2500 car garage in the southeast corner of the site, and also a central utility plant that was uh contemplated to serve the entire site.

We talk about central utility plant.

Uh it's important to say that's the place where we'll make chilled water for air conditioning and hot water for heating and some electrical infrastructure to support that.

As Ballys has worked on their phasing, and especially uh with the expectation that a hotel tower is likely to be beyond a phase one of whatever they would build.

Um a couple of changes are coming out of uh the design for the outside the nine-acre plan.

Um, and one is that um for much of 2025, we and Ballies together expected there would be a single central utility plant that would serve the entire site.

And because of the rate at which they expect that they're going to phase what they build, it feels like it's a much better decision to phase the central utility plant.

And uh I'm gonna in a minute show a picture that'll be worth a thousand words, hopefully.

Um their central utility plant was gonna go just north of the southeast garage up against the eastern side of the property.

And we're going to leave that site for a second phase two of the central utility plant, and we're gonna create a phase one of the central utility plant that'll be on what would have been the eastern edge of the garage on the site.

And I'm gonna see if I can make the slides work.

So on the left-hand side of the picture, you can see kind of the whole site plan with the ballpark and the southeast garage.

And um on the right picture, you can see to the north of the garage that says future IR Cup.

IR is a mysterious acronym for integrated resort.

And what's in green is basically a 50-foot strip being taken out of what would have been the garage footprint and making that available for a utility plant for the A's and possibly some additional improvements on the site.

Any questions on any of that?

Okay, and then I'm gonna just talk about the garage for a minute.

With um the hotel tower expecting to be beyond a phase one for ballet's um we're also going to a phase the Southeast Garage.

It it's contemplated to be 2500 stalls at full capacity, but we're going to have a first one phase of 1500 stalls.

That should be ready for opening day.

And as more development happens on the site, that could be uh expanded to go back to the contemplated 2500 stalls.

Any questions?

Okay.

I'm gonna be doing great.

So I'll I'll have a couple of questions and comments in a few minutes, but we'll let you finish the presentation.

Okay.

Uh that's the end of my piece.

Should I bring on the next piece?

Wow, Sandy, you're really moving.

Sure.

Thank you, Commissioner Gibson.

Uh I'm gonna bring up uh Mark Badane.

Thanks, guys.

I guess Tyler gets the nine acres.

Sandy gets outside the nine acres, I get everything else.

Uh you guys were f were kind enough to allow us to to come in in December and share a little bit about what we were doing in the community.

So thank you for that.

Thank you for uh giving us the opportunity again.

Similar to Tyler, I'm not gonna read everything that's on the slide, but we've been out in force in the community at what feels like five to ten events per week.

Uh we've had a chance to engage with a lot of causes close to you, and and we'll continue to do that.

Uh one point I did want to point out on this slide is in the bottom right, you see 56 current A's and Legends employees based in Las Vegas.

And if we'd had this meeting a year ago, that would have been two.

So we've been relocating a number of people, and we've been hiring a lot of people, and that will continue.

And what I enjoy about that, especially for those that uh get to relocate here, is how much they enjoy engaging in this community.

And I think if they were if they were at this meeting today, just to see the diversity and and and what gets done in this community and the 14 people that you honored earlier and sitting behind me is flavor-flavor some reason.

I just what goes on in this community just amazes me every single day, and I love living here, and it's fun to bring uh some new people and get them to see A, where they're moving to, the impact they're having.

You heard Tyler talk about the jobs and all of the job creation, and that extends not just to the construction side, but to the front office as well.

All those folks are are moving here, are are buying, renting homes, engaging their community, joining boards, volunteering their time, and and becoming key members uh of this community, and that will continue over the summer.

A number of our executives' employees as their kids are finishing up the school year in California, are moving here, so that number will be significantly higher a year from now.

Uh, this is just a uh a logo page to show some of the organizations that we've spent some time with and supported over the last few months.

And you've seen the work on the site.

We have an experience center now open at Uncommons.

We've been able to do a lot of tours there for the community in addition to our sales efforts, and also do some hard hat tours at the stadium at the ballpark, so people can see the the progress and see the workforce and see what they're they're a part of building.

So we encourage all of you to continue to join us on those.

Uh, we've had a great quarter.

We have some exciting things coming up.

We have six games in June.

The team is currently in first place, and we have six games the the second week of June against the Milwaukee Brewers and the Colorado Rockies.

So hopefully you can join us for some of those games as well.

And we'll be doing a lot of community engagement and activation around those games.

Uh from a sales update standpoint, we opened our preview center back in December, but really didn't start selling until March.

The community is has responded very strongly.

We're doing very well.

But I did want to point out in addition just to the premium product that's on sale now.

Our plan is to have uh price points for everybody in this community for families, uh, affordable ticketing deals for locals.

Uh so those will continue uh and we'll continue to give sales updates uh as that progresses.

Uh I think Sandy, you're back up to answer questions unless you have any for me.

No, thank you very much.

Commissioner Commissioner Gibson.

Thank you very much.

The uh when I first met uh representatives of uh the A's organization, including the family members, uh one of the first things that we talked about was the uh immersive experience is gonna be for you when you come into this community and what would be expected of you, but what we felt you would bring and what you've demonstrated over the course of the months is that all of that and considerably more than we imagined has been uh on the table.

You've been living it.

We really appreciate the way that you've invested, engaged, activated, and integrated.

You've done everything uh that we could have hoped for, and we know that it'll only get better the longer you're here.

Um because we're talking about a couple of changes uh for the CUP and the Southeast Garage.

I think it appropriate, and I've I've talked to our attorneys uh and with our director of uh planning that we instruct the staff, and I Mr.

Manager and Ms.

Logden, I want to make sure that this is this works, but I'd like to provide some instruction to the staff to administratively handle the uh placement of the CUP and the fate the phasing of the C UP and the phasing uh of the uh garage structure.

Um obviously it needs to be parked adequately and it will be a lot of that'll be determined uh over the course of time.

We still have the ability to do that.

We have an approval that would uh authorize up to the 2500 parking spaces.

Um but at the moment, in order to get this stadium, keep the stadium on schedule.

I think it's appropriate, uh, and I'll let you weigh in, Lisa, uh, that we provide that instruction to staff.

I'm happy to answer any questions that there may be.

Lisa.

Yes, these uh approvals can be done administratively, and so this was kind of information for the board, and you know, if the board had any concerns with that, their opportunity to make any of those comments.

So this process will be handled administrative by comp planning.

Good.

Do you need anything more, Ms.

Anniston?

No, this is Jennifer Hammerman from Comp Planning.

We have the direction I think we need, and we'll move forward.

Okay.

So I would when do you think you'll be ready to submit an application for uh administrative review?

There's work going on.

Uh the permit plans for the garage were basically done, and those are being modified to account for the phasing, and so I think those are probably within a month or something.

The central utility plant is a little bit longer, but probably within two months, and we're pushing hard to move those things along as fast as we can.

And then just one other question.

The the pedestal, the garage and the pedestal in the north uh west corner is also an integral part of what's inside the nine acres.

It's a true connector, right?

Because there's a difference in elevation.

The stadium sits what, 37 feet higher than the than the sidewalk?

Yes, the front door of the stadium is up at 37 or 38 feet.

The the bridges uh from Excalibur and MGM are they're not quite the same.

They're like 22 and 25 or something.

Uh and um Bally's is working on their plans for that and their financing for that.

And you know, that's in process.

We've been thinking about contingency plans if that doesn't come together, and we're gonna talk about that on Thursday at the Stadium Authority meeting.

We can share more about that if you want to talk about that here.

Well, I just I think that the only concern we have is that everything is proceeding apace, and you have the time to complete everything.

And um that'll that'll stay top of mind all the way through the end of this thing.

And I know you're the the A's are concerned, Ballys is concerned, and the county is concerned.

Yeah.

We're working on that every day, and we we today have time to sort all of this out.

Hey, the clock is ticking, so there's some things that have to get resolved in the next couple of months, and we're gonna be working on it daily until then.

All right.

And then um just one interesting fact the height of the roof of the stadium will be approximately as high as the room tower at MGM.

Is that a true statement?

Actually, I think for people who come visit the site, you look at the the geometry of the bowl, which has really taken shape, that's a lot.

But then you turn around and look at the MGM Tower, and you're like, wow, like there's more to come here.

Yes.

I think there's another comment that is important.

Um Mortenson McCarthy has uh brought all of the skill and talent together with the subcontractors and the incredible workforce that we have here to do an amazing thing.

This is not just an iconic uh structure that's being built, but it's a complex structure.

And uh I think this is as good evidence as there ever has been that we can build anything here.

And I want we really appreciate the professional um uh level of work that's being done there and the expertise and leadership that's being provided.

It's an amazing thing.

The reality is that the A's fit in Las Vegas.

It's also nice to be in first place.

And that's been fun.

We agree.

We we felt really welcomed.

We can't say that enough.

Thank you.

I know I want to see something.

So um Miss Kirkpatrick has a question or a comment.

She probably has a little of both.

No, no, I I actually I would just say, you know, I've been the hardest about the community benefit agreement in all of the things, and I want to compliment you on to date.

Stomper is super popular throughout the valley.

You've been very um generous uh with that.

In I also want to point out because I know there are what I've learned uh about you all, there are just some things that you do that you don't want any not uh notoriety for, and that's a good trait to have, right?

In my book.

In my book, that's a good trait because everybody can cut ribbons, everybody can say all the things that they do, but at the end of the day, if it's really more about making sure that things get done, and and I want to point out that when those kids were playing uh little league and they were trying to finish off their season, uh you guys stepped up to the plate without any fanfare or anything, and and that's really who those are the partners I want in this community, are the people that will step up and make sure that a nine-year-old dream comes true because that's most important, right?

So you have won me over with the way that you are handling it, and I've been hard on you from day one, no secret there, but by not always having to be the grandstander and all that goes a long ways with me.

So I wanted to point that out.

I wanted to point out that uh I look forward to continuing those community benefits because this is really um this is what we should be doing, and I appreciate that.

So I I don't give compliments very often, so take it for what it is, but um I I goes a long ways when you don't have to shout at the top of the lungs what you're doing.

We'll ask the clerk to print that for the record for you.

Can we can we put that in bold in uh bigger font in the record?

Uh thank you, Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

I'd tattoo it on my forearm if I were you.

Okay, we will be moving on to the next item.

Thank you, Mr.

Dean.

Thank you.

Minister is there a presentation on this item.

Ms.

Colvin this augmentation is from budgetary savings from the previous year and will be used to roll into the FY26 fiscal year for salaries, benefits, and services and supplies.

Thank you.

At this time, I'd like to open the public hearing.

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

Please state your name for the record.

My name is Al Rojas.

I live in uh Sunrise Manor.

Like I said before, I've been involved in uh neighborhood watch.

We've been uh helping a lot with uh improving the safety in our community.

I totally support this ordinance.

We definitely need more law enforcement out there.

However, I was doing some research on this item, and we do need more patrolling to control the traffic, but I do have some suggestions that we ought to look into that will help law enforcement bring a lot of the accidents that are happening on the street.

One of the major problems that we have is that we know we're we're very populated now.

We have a high density.

If you look at the research, it curly states that speed limits of 45 miles per hour with this type of density in many of our streets are major are the major cause of what's going on.

I'm asking that we reduce some of these uh speed in certain areas from 45 miles per hour down to 35 miles per hour, especially on the east side, some of the streets like Owens, which are highly residential, and Washington.

There's no need for them to be at 45 miles per hour.

We also want to reduce the speeds over on Nellis.

Lamb has come down to some 35 miles per hour zones.

But we need to reduce these speeds because people were driving at 45, they're gonna drive 4850.

You can't, if you at 45 miles, you get hit at 45 miles per hour, your chances of survival are less than three percent.

Go look up the research on that.

So we'd really have to start addressing that.

We also have a high Latino uh uh population.

I happen to be Latino.

I don't listen, I don't watch much Latino stations, but we definitely need to do some Latino commercials to reduce um uh speed and bring that up to um uh to the awareness.

I'll speed up on the other stuff.

There's some areas that are 25 miles per hour zone.

The city of Las Vegas has speed bumps in some of these residential areas.

I recommend that we start looking to into that, especially on Mount Hood between Lake Mead and um uh I would be like Washington and umanza.

The other thing that I found to be effective, we went to the I didn't I should have brought my uh zero the zero tall.

There's a there's an ordinance that we're trying to come up with uh have zero uh fatalities and while I'm showing that having a those speed sign, those solar speeds of those uh speed monitoring signs, they do slow traffic down.

I think we ought to have more at one hour uh one mile intervals, especially on Hollywood Boulevard.

I think that people do slow down, they're gonna speed it up, slow down again, and it's gonna bring um uh it's gonna change people's driving behaviors.

These are the things that and I do support this ordinance.

Thank you very much.

Bye.

Thank you.

Seeing nothing, no one else, I will close the public hearing uh and accept a motion.

I move approval.

There's a motion for approval.

Please cast your vote.

That motion passes Commissioners.

Your next item is to conduct a public hearing and approve, adopt, and authorize the chair to cite an ordinance to amend Clark County Air Quality Regulation, Section 12.2 permit requirements for major sources and attainment areas, section 12.3 permit requirements for major sources and non-attainment areas and 12.4 authority to construct application and permit requirements for part 70 sources to incorporate requirements associated with the serious non-attainment classification under the 2015 ozone standards.

Incorporate U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency feedback and ensure consistency across other sections and federal language.

Amend Section 12.5, Part 70 operating permit requirements to add language for portable major source requirements, ensure consistency across other sections and federal language, add new six insignificant activities and make necessary editorial administrative and non-substantive revisions throughout sections 12.3 to 12.5 and providing for other matters properly rated there too, and to authorize the control officer to compile and submit the approved ordinance and all related documentation, including the technical support document to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection for U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency approval into the Nevada State Implementation Plan.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning, Commissioner Snarcy Henson, the director of the Department of Environment and Sustainability.

In front of you today is proposed rule changes to our permitting requirements for major sources.

So we did conduct a public workshop in January and also put these rules out for public comment.

We did receive some excellent comments from business and industry.

We've worked to address those and are presenting uh to you today our final rules for consideration.

These are part of our ozone state implementation plan for series non-attainments.

Um and I can answer any questions that you have.

Thank you.

Are there any questions?

I'll open the public hearing.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward.

Welcome.

Thank you again, Chairman and fellow leaders.

My name's Eric King.

Very excited that there's continuous attention paid to the air quality here.

I mentioned in a poem just a little while ago.

Um we've reduced the blowing sand here in the desert, which 20 plus years ago.

We all that were here know was much more prevalent.

And see that it continues to be fine-tuned and direct attention paid to it is very exciting to me from a designer's standpoint here.

This very complex thing we call Las Vegas and our community and our structures here.

I'd be really thrilled to encourage any of our wonderful commissioners here to carry on a dialogue.

I'm seeking to participate more in regards to our urban heat island effect and ways to mitigate that and wind, certainly blowing hot winds and the quality of air probably has been discussed in some fashion with that.

So I'm I just wanted to bring it uh to light that um the air quality certainly has improved.

I'm not trying to waste everybody's time, but um a lot of times things like air and air quality get taken for granted.

So I'd be really thrilled to find out what has been effective with the leadership and all the outreach for engaging the public to understand better how we all can thrive longer, better and healthier because we're more aware of what it could be, our quality of life, including quality of air.

I thank you all for your time.

Thank you.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Please come forward at this time.

Seeing no one will close the public hearing.

Move for approval.

There is a motion for approval on item 57.

Please cast your vote.

Motion passes.

Thank you.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing and approve, adopt, and authorize the chair to sign an ordinance to amend Title 8, Chapter 8.20 of the Clark County Code by adding a new section designated as 8.20.020.417 water park to establish regulations pertaining to the licensing and operation of water parks.

Amending section 8.20.276 to exclude water parks from the business required to be open to the general public.

Amending section 8.20.020.325 to include water parks and providing for other matters properly related thereto.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Morning, Mr.

Chair, members of the commission, Vince Keanu, Director of Business License.

I don't have a formal presentation, but the proposed ordinance defines water parks.

It also amends uh Clark County Code 8.20276 that adds water parks to the licensed categories that are allowed to serve alcohol while closed to the public.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh this is a public hearing.

I'll open it at this time.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward.

And I'll remind you this is these are very narrowly tailored items, so please keep your comments directed right at them.

Okay.

Well, I did some research on this.

My name is Al Rojas.

We're involved with Neighborhood Watch.

Now I have no idea why you guys want to include alcohol on these uh water war uh water whatever water parks, which include the splash guards.

Now I have no idea why you guys want to include alcohol on these uh water war uh water, whatever we water parks, which include the splash guards when we're having homeless people.

We're uh as part of our neighborhood watch.

We're getting complaints of homeless people going out and taking showers.

And washing your comments are being directed at public facilities.

This is not related to that.

No, but you're saying that you guys want to make it so that you can do alcohol at water at water parks.

We're not able to deliberate with you at this time.

Uh I'm just telling you this is not that I'm against it.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm just saying that I'm totally against that for the following for those reasons.

We're gonna be having homeless people drinking alcohol on your parks.

Is that okay?

Go ahead.

You you I don't believe you have a full understanding of what's before us.

If you have a seat, uh it could be explained to you.

Okay, thank you very much.

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

Seeing no one, I'm gonna close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Jones.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

And just to clarify, alcohol is already permissible in water parks, water parks are very narrowly defined, and in this case, Calebonia Canyon.

Um, and so this is only allowing them to shut down the entire facility in order to have private events.

So that is all that this uh ordinance does.

So with that, I'll move for approval.

Thank you.

There's a motion for approval on item 58.

Please cast your vote.

Commissioner's your next items to conduct a public hearing, approve, adopt, and authorize the chair to sign an ordinance to amend Title 13, Chapter 4 of the Clark County Code by adding section 13.04.275 related to the design, operation, maintenance, and commissioning of single-lane tunnel systems designated chapter 42 of the International Fire Code and providing for other matters properly related there too.

Thank you.

Good morning, Chief Samuels.

Good morning, Commissioners Billy Samuels.

I just give a little bit of clarification on the ordinance and why we got to where we're at today.

Um it's a unique transportation system, uh single-lane tunnels using standard highway passenger vehicles to move people.

Uh, there is no current uh NFPA National Fire Protection Association standard that captures all of the elements of this system.

Uh it's a challenging framework for life safety requirements, a consistent design and installation and operation.

But what chapter 42 is going to do is provides definitions specific to single-lane tunnels.

It provides details on allowable vehicles within the system.

It includes information regarding emergency egress and signage.

It contains requirements for fire alarms, fire suppression systems, and emergency ventilation.

It also outlines expectations for communication systems, including emergency responder systems.

It includes requirements for safety during the construction of tunnels and other underground spaces, and at the end it incorporates provisions for specialized fire department response vehicles to be used within the system.

I'm happy to answer any questions, any concerns.

Um go from there.

Thank you, Chief.

At this time I will open the public hearing on item 59.

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

Thank you again, Chairman.

My name is Eric King.

Uh, on behalf of firefighters here and near and everywhere, I'd like to say please use a very wonderful burnishing stone to polish up all these safety concerns for not only people in the tunnels driving, but also for the heroes that will go in if there's anything wrong with that.

I'm sure you're all doing a great job of that already.

And uh it's very exciting.

Uh people like Mr.

Musk and the boring company to be augmenting our city in some truly futuristic ways.

And it is very thrilling to see Clark County in such support of such endeavors.

Thank you all, and uh for all the heroes among us.

Chief Samuels included, thank you for your service.

Thank you.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Please come forward at this time.

Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing on item 59.

Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

Sorry, I sorry, I saved up the last couple weeks.

I've been quiet.

So uh Chief Samuels, I want to just turn to page five of the ordinance.

Uh page five, section 42.04 point two.

And I just want to make sure that it's very clear.

I see your backups are coming behind you, so sorry.

I I just want to put some things on the record because I don't like messy, I'm over messy, and I want to be clear that everybody knows where we're headed going forward.

So uh the means of egress.

There has been much discussion about this particular uh portion of the ordinance prior to in any building department uh conversation.

So I just I just want you to put on the record that what I'm reading is that uh yes uh egress and you will you will have to follow chapter 10 of the building codes so that there's no no mistake.

Yes, correct.

Um yes, ma'am.

The this ordinance does not trump the the building code when it comes to chapter 10 and those things, those things have to comply first, and this ordinance will supplement that.

And they do go hand in hand.

Okay, so then I want you to talk to me about um it's in here more than one place, but here's the closest place I found it.

So the communication systems, right?

So when you talk about areas of refuge, cross passages.

So my understanding, and I think I've been pretty clear on what this means when we go back to the depth of the length of the tunnel, that there's a comfort level.

I I remember it's like 15, 15 and 15, 15 minutes to get out, 15 minutes to save someone, and then 15 minutes to get there, right?

Is that like a national thing?

Um so I want to make sure when we talk about these areas of refuge in cross passages, what the expectation is because my expectation, I'm gonna tell you what mine is, and I want you to correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm okay if I'm wrong.

But my these are mitigation uh essentials uh ways in case we can't there's reasons, right?

Maybe we couldn't do every 1500 feet or whatever.

If we couldn't meet the depth, there's always a workaround.

But number one is public safety.

So am I reading this right?

Because I don't want it to become the norm where there's every areas of refuge every 1500 feet, because that is not what I I think we're trying to get to.

So please make sure I got it clear because I'm a stickler for words.

Yes, ma'am.

Uh the areas of refuge and cross passages, they do comply with um NFPA standards.

You have to have uh fire rating door a certain amount, the communication side, there has to be communications within those the areas of refuge and those uh cross passages.

I think that's what you're talking about.

We do have a distance associated when it comes to greater than 1250 feet on where they will be actually established, and we have um we have solidify where that's actually going to occur, whether where they're compliant with um for this ordinance.

So there would never be an instance where, and I believe we we have done this in the past in the county, and I don't I don't necessarily agree with it, but there would never be an instance where somebody would only have uh Aries areas of refuge in the system.

Um you still have to have anything greater than at 2500 feet, you have to have an um a compliant exit to the surface.

So within that system, uh there will be areas of uh refuge, there will be cross passages because there is gonna be some locations where it's just impossible to build.

Um but with that within that 2500 linear feet, you will have an exit to the surface that's compliant with chapter 10 um and with uh this ordinance.

And that is important because the ADA requirements and everything else, right?

So if we have to have people right, we have to plan for worst-case scenario.

So if uh we have to plan, um, then there's a way for people to get to some safety until we can make the full rescue.

Is that the intent behind it?

Yes, ma'am, that's the intent.

Okay, and then so my last one is on uh section 4211 of the fire department response vehicles.

I've been living this for many years, so I want now you to tell me what the expectation is because I've heard blame being pointed everywhere, and as far as I'm concerned, I don't care who's followed this, I want it fixed.

So, what is the expectation?

Because one, we brought this up in the beginning.

This is so like crazy for me because we brought this up in the beginning.

Somebody will drive down it the wrong way.

Oh, never happen.

It sure as heck did happen right away.

What happens if there's uh a bite down there because people are waiting and something happens?

Oh, sure as heck did happen, right?

So I thought, and the tunnels are specifically a size that doesn't fit your typical fire response down there, and we are first to get there.

So I um thought two years ago we were supposed to have a uh fire response vehicle that could go down there, and my understanding is it's not quite finished yet, and they're waiting on us.

So, where are we on this and what is the expected date and when can I make sure that it's there?

Uh that is the onus is on the fire department right now.

We do have that on our hands.

We owe uh the boring company a spec vehicle uh feedback on that.

So that is currently on us.

I think is it a vehicle that can meet a grade that can transport people out?

Yeah, yes, ma'am.

The current vehicles that we have, they're side-by-side carts, they they're just inadequate for the performance.

Um the vehicles that we are specing out uh would meet those needs.

It has the power we need.

Uh one thing that we talked about a couple years ago was that bi-directional component.

Uh, when you look at it now, when you look at trying to load up a patient into a bi-directional vehicle, it's it doesn't really just make sense.

Um, but we have been working with with FLEEER and the infrared systems that we have going forward so we can back into the operation and then to remove people successfully.

So again, the the specs that the onus is on the Clark County Fire Department to provide that to TBC.

So I'm just seeing this section in my mind is broad.

And so what is what is what can I call you at 7 a.m.

and say, hey, what's going on?

So what what is it that we want?

What is it that we get, and when is the time frame to get it?

I I appreciate you let me see what we're doing.

How that's what I want to know.

Uh that's that's on me right now, Commissioner.

I will uh I will get those out.

I'll try to get it by close of business this week and I'll get it over to TBC, and then you guys will have eyes on it as well.

Um I I think we're fairly confident with what we have been working on.

Um way way more than we have in the past.

So I'm I I think we can we can get this across the finish line.

And it is broad, and I think for on I'm purposely, uh, when you look at you know, five years, ten years down the road, um things are gonna change.

And so this doesn't give us that latitude to actually make those changes necessary.

No, and I'm not here to call you out.

I'm just saying that I want to resolve the issue, right?

On all sides because and I in the past, many times I like broad because it allows us to negotiate.

But on this particular project, I'm no I'm no longer a fan of broad because everybody has a different interpretation, and I want to make sure it's very clear.

So as long as I can call you in a week and the other side has whatever they need, or you tell me where we are in the process.

I like time frames, I I'm good with that.

And I do understand that we may have to adjust depending on where uh we may allow these tunnels later, because what works today at the Westgate may not work at the Tropicana, right?

So I I understand the broad, but I at least want some type of in my mind, this should say something to the effect that uh and Lisa, I'm not trying to change it, but I just want to tell you what I I think it should it should say that upon uh building permits submittal uh before the permit is issued, that there should be those mitigation efforts, including what type of fire response before the it's actually issued, right?

I do that with solar on purpose because before we get too far into it, I want to know, right?

So that way, what if there's a construction incident?

What if there's this?

So I I just that's my expectation in case anybody's wondering that when you get when you go get your building permit, that should already be dialed in.

So I just want you to know what my expectation, that's how I'm gonna interpret it with you, Lisa, forever.

So as long as everybody's okay with that.

That's all I have.

Commissioner Gibson.

I guess I'm okay with that.

Trying to figure.

No, the the reality is that uh you and your leadership team have worked uh countless hours, hundreds, thousands of hours, in an effort to try and come to a place where there's a meeting of the minds.

And the same is true for the boring company.

They have uh committed resources in an effort to get there.

And there probably have been times when I would have said they're never gonna get there.

Uh this is the culmination of all of that work, and I appreciate the work that the manager and Lisa have added to all of that effort so that we can now codify what's expected of us, what's expected of uh your department and what's expected of the of the uh permittee.

Uh these permits are uh many in number, and there's a whole lot of work that it is has yet to be done, but we have uh agreed in principle as to the location of stations at uh Harry Reid International Airport, which is uh a monumental thing.

Uh we are now we've been working at UNLV on uh easements and defining the route from UNLV, there will be a station there as I understand it.

Um the work now is ready to just blow up, just explode.

I don't mean blow up in the terms that we're dead, it's dead, but rather to explode in the sense that we're ready to really move forward.

And the adoption of this ordinance helps us get to that place.

So I I think that the ordinance, I get the uh the broadness issue uh on the point that was made by my colleague.

I think that under the circumstances, because we don't yet have it defined, the only way you could narrow it enough to be meaningful is if you could actually put the specs in.

So I think as long as we're all committed to uh bringing the uh definition of that vehicle and the specs related to that vehicle to a place where it really works in terms of the public safety response, and we're relying upon you and your team to uh provide that to us.

I think this is good enough.

It'd be really nice if we could specify a vehicle, but I think your point is well taken, and I think that uh between building and fire and the the our legal uh representatives.

I think we all understand where we're going.

So I if there isn't anything more, Mr.

Chair, I move the adoption of the uh ordinance.

Thank you.

There's a motion, please cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Thank you, Chief.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing on the county's U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD FY 2026, 2027 Action Plan for Housing and Community Development.

Approve and authorize the community housing administrator or her designee to submit the FY 2026-27 annual action plan to HUD, approved and authorized the county manager or is designed to sign any necessary documents related there too.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning, Commissioners Dagney Stapleton, community housing administrator.

Um excuse me.

This item authorizes the submission of our 2627 HUD annual action plan, um, which details how we will spend our HUD entitlement funds, including home CDBG and ESG.

This item also serves as the second public hearing on how we will spend those funds.

Thank you very much.

At this time, I will open the public hearing.

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

Seeing no one.

And again, please tailor your comments very narrowly to the item before us.

I would just again, Eric King, thank you.

Um very briefly, I'd just like to make a plug, please, for further consideration.

All concerned with senior housing and veteran housing.

Thank you.

That's what we're doing here.

Thank you.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Please come forward.

Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing.

Seeing no one, I'll move for approval.

There's a motion for approval.

Please cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing and approve, adopt, and authorize the chair to sign a resolution approving the issuance solely for the purposes of Section 147 subsection F of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended by the Colorado Health Facilities Authority and one or more series of tax exempt 501c3 revenue bonds, Intermountain Health in amount not to exceed 864 million dollars with respect to the health care facilities located in Clark County, Nevada, in order to finance, refinance, or reimburse the cost of acquiring, constructing, renovating, and equipping certain health care facilities, provide for one or more debt service reserve funds for the benefit of all or a portion of the bonds, pay a portion of the interest to accrue on the bonds, and pay certain working capital expenditures and pay certain costs of issuance of the bonds.

Thank you very much.

I believe for the record, McKay Owens somebody is here representing Intermountain.

If you want to come forward and just state your name for the record, and if there is anything you'd like to add, do it at this time.

Yes, absolutely.

Um my name is McKay Owens.

I'm the uh vice president of debt and capital markets for Intermountain Health.

Uh good morning, Commissioners.

I just wanted to first say thank you for uh addressing this request today.

Um, Intermountain is uh very excited to be partnering with the community and to be expanding access to health care services within Southern Nevada.

Um, just to provide a little more background on this request, uh Intermountain will be investing over the next several years well over a billion dollars to expand health care services in the community here.

Um, with a lot of that related to expanding access to uh coverage for uh children within our community.

Uh related to to this issue, there are two projects that the tax exempt bonds will help finance over the following years.

Uh, one is a project recently completed, the Badura Clinic.

This is nearly a 70 million dollar project that's consolidated multiple clinics in southwest Las Vegas, about 92,000 square feet.

Um, and then the the project which we've we've heard about a few times earlier today is the new children's hospital.

That project alone is expected to cost over a billion dollars, and uh will consist of about 830,000 square feet, uh over 200 beds, and will provide comprehensive services for children within the community, inpatient beds, emergency department, surgery, imaging, and and more.

Uh that project is located, will be located on the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park.

Uh, Intermountain Health is um leasing approximately 33 acres from UNLV to be able to build the hospital on that location.

Uh, we we hope to begin construction uh later this year, and the hospital would open in 2030.

Related to this item specifically, Intermountain is a nonprofit organization.

You all are very familiar with the the TEFRA process.

There's a couple uh items following this for charter schools.

Intermountain as a nonprofit organization is subject to the same uh federal tax law requirements to hold a public hearing and allow the community the opportunity to provide any comments related to the projects to be funded with tax exempt bonds.

So I will just reiterate this is simply a logistical requirement that allows Intermountain to finance a portion of these projects over the next several years and to utilize tax exempt bond proceeds to help fund that project.

Happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Thank you very much.

This is a public hearing.

At this time, I'll open up the public comment period.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward.

And Eric King, thank you all.

Um very exciting to see uh such progress for the youth here in our valley.

And I just like to uh make a plug for the wellness community here, that there may indeed be greater and greater support amongst leadership and uh informed people about how uh attention dollars and resources go to making more aware our youth in this country of greatness that we all know are much heavier more often as they grow and less healthy than we were accustomed to many years ago.

Um I'm sure that very well-intentioned people here with Intermountain are going to add some great things, and my hope is that there will be further conversations because people like me stand up for kids in the valley, our future, and say wellness is on the way and integrative medicine is happening, and it'd be wonderful to shine more light on all those beautiful pathways.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Please come forward at this time.

Hi.

Um Anna Diantia Comptroller.

I just wanted to put on the record these are not obligations of the county, it's just IRS process.

Correct.

Thank you for putting that on the record.

Good morning.

Um, Lindy Schumacher, do you want my address?

That's okay.

11055 Sanctuary Cove, Las Vegas, 89135.

I was going to speak earlier, but I kind of needed to wait and see how this all went down.

Um we are the largest contributors to Intermountain.

Um we believe that this was the next step after building the Kirk Kakorian School of Medicine that the key to success was residencies and a strong children's hospital.

When you look at our like-minded communities like Arizona, when I ask people in Arizona what was the big thing that meant that you person you progressed in medicine and why we didn't, and they said they started with the children's hospital.

They said you can't be serious about medicine if you don't take care of your children.

So I wanted, on behalf of the anonymous donor who will never walk in this room, I get to say and compliment all of you for what you have done today.

Um prioritized the county over one entity.

You prioritized students over adults, you prioritize the future that it does include a children's hospital, a standalone children's hospital.

You are elected to do exactly as you have done, and you stepped up and asked those difficult questions.

You said no.

You said this is not good enough for this community.

Um, on behalf of uh the largest donor in this community, I think that really says a lot, and we are watching and we are listening.

Um you are on the right side of history on this day, and I just wanted to thank you.

Thank you very much.

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

If not, I will close the public hearing on item 61.

Mr.

Chair move for approval.

Thank you.

There's a motion for approval.

Please cast your vote.

B fund a debt service reserve fund for the bonds, and C pay capitalized interest with respect to the bonds and related working capital and pay certain costs of issuance of the bonds.

Thank you.

Um I believe Rochelle Hewitt is here.

If there's anything you'd like to put on the record, thanks for being here.

Yes.

Oh, am I on?

You're on.

Okay.

Good morning, Chair NAfton, Commissioners and Staff.

Thank you for um letting me be here with you today.

I'm Rochelle Hewlett, the founder and CEO of Amplus Academy.

First off, I wanted to just say how excited we are about the IHC hospital that's going in right across the street from our school.

We're really excited for our potential partnership with them and excited for their project to get underway.

Um the school is pursuing tax exempt bond financing for its upcoming capital project, which is an expansion of the five-acre parcel adjacent to our current Durango campus.

Uh this is uh project that's been going on for quite some time.

We purchased the land back in 2017, and so we're excited that we are moving forward with this project.

Um it is located in Clark County, and it has two.

We do have two previous tax exempt bond issues that are outstanding.

So these bonds will just be issued as additional bonds similar to the previous ones that we've already received.

Thank you very much.

Uh at this time I will open the public hearing.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward.

Uh Ms.

Danchak, something for the record.

Just to clarify, these are not obligations of the county.

Just the IRS purpose.

Thank you very much.

I'll close the public hearing.

Good morning.

Are you here on behalf of Delta Academy?

If you just want to.

I'm Jessica Shaham, bond counsel from CUTAC RAC for the Delta Academy financing.

Very good.

Is there any anything uh that you'd like to add for the record?

Pretty much uh our previous temporary expired, so very good.

Yep.

Uh we'll close the public hearing.

Uh or I'm sorry, I'll open the public hearing.

Good morning.

Good morning, Commissioners.

Jim Guerin, I'm the director of the Clark County Building Department.

This is a pretty straightforward uh ordinance.

Uh we're just replacing the old amusement and transportation system code that was adopted uh 18 years ago in May of 2008 with a new uh ride code, and we're changing the title to avoid some confusion.

The new title is Amusement Ride and People Mover Code.

Um there were some uh people who were confusing what we applied the old amusement and transportation system code to.

So I want to clarify for the people in the audience and people watching this new uh version of the amusement ride and people mover code does not apply to the Las Vegas loop or the boring company's efforts building the tunnels.

Um I also want to clarify because we did uh receive after our introduction last uh last board meeting, we received a call from Virginia Ballantyne who put us in contact with one of her members.

We immediately met with that member uh of the Nevada Resort Association, uh Barris Kaiser and address some of his concerns.

So to clarify, this ordinance does not uh apply to any uh or does not have any retroactive uh requirements that would uh affect any of the existing rides.

They're uh able to stay in operation under their original approvals.

We have all the records of those original approvals, so anything in the new code would just be from this point moving forward on new rides.

I would like to take a moment to uh thank Principal Engineer Brian Lennihan, who's in the audience and his team, including Tony Garcia, Agatha Lalana, and Sean Flores for uh developing this new version of the amusement ride and people mover code, and with that I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you, Director Guerin.

At this time, I'll open the public hearing.

Uh anyone wishing to speak, please come forward at this time.

Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing.

Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

Uh thank you.

Uh Mr.

Guerin, so you told me everybody it doesn't apply to.

So who actually does it apply to for the general public?

So is this the carnival rides at uh you know uh in the parking lots that we see, or who who exactly is this going to apply to?

Okay, it definitely does not apply to those.

The state handles all of those temporary traveling carnivals.

This applies to the permanent rides like the roller coaster at New York, New York, the Vegas High Roller Ferris wheel, uh, the uh monorail between Mandalay Bay and Luxor and uh Excalibur, the actual uh Las Vegas monorail, things like that, any rides or amusement things that are permanent in nature, uh more than six months.

We permit through the amusement ride and people mover code.

We don't we we handle the boring company's Las Vegas loop through the normal building permit process, not the uh ride process.

Okay, no, I just wanted to be clear so it wasn't confusing.

Thank you.

There's a motion by Commissioner Gibson for approval.

Please cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Commissioner's your final public hearing is to conduct a public hearing to approve, adopt, or deny a special event preliminary approval application from She's Got Game LLC to hold a special event on July 16th, 2026 at 3780 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89109, and providing for other matters properly related there too.

Good morning, Director Keanu.

Morning, Mr.

Chair, members of the commission, events, Keado with the Office of Sports and Special Events.

Uh the proposed special events is a celebration of female Olympians that would feature a parade on Las Vegas Boulevard ending at Toshiba Plaza.

At this moment, we do have a presentation from the applicant.

She got game LLC.

I believe we have Rihanna Ellis.

And we have Flavor Flav himself.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Hi, good morning, everyone.

Um, I'm Rihanna Nellis.

I manage Flavor Flav.

What started off as just an innocent tweet to support and celebrate female athletes has really turned into a movement.

Um Flav, you know, is a longtime Vegas resident.

There is no other or better place that he would want to celebrate these athletes than Las Vegas.

Um, you know, these Olympians really represent the best of us in the country, and they should have a celebration that you know recognizes that.

Um we do understand the social responsibility we have with this weekend, and you know, sort of the opportunity to make a social impact and change.

So we introduce She Weekend, representing sports hospitality and entertainment in partnership with MGM Resorts.

The weekend would go from July 16th to the 19th, and we're asking you to consider uh for Thursday, July 16th, that we want to start the weekend with a free public parade and concert in Toshiba Plaza.

Um we took some you know very positive feedback to involve the community more in the parade elements to as both a participation and to help build out the parade.

So we have tasked, you know, members of our you know team who oversee more community involvement, and we're working with um some of the the local youth teams and some of the summer camps to help build that out.

Um I will let Flav give a little bit of his I just I just want to say you know thank you, you know, for giving me the opportunity, and I'm honored, you know, and I'm saying to be able to, you know, bring these United States Olympic athletes here to Las Vegas, you know.

Um you know I am a girl dad, and I do I am a big supporter of women's.

Sorry to interrupt you.

My colleagues are reminding me that we need your name for the record.

They need your name for the record.

Oh, I'm sorry.

My name is Flavor Flavor.

Um William Drayton, aka Flavor Flavor.

I'm sorry, guys.

Thank you.

We're strict around here.

But um, but yeah, but but I just wanted to just, you know, really thank you know, you know, the board of Clark County, you know what I'm saying, and the people of the state of Nevada for seeing my vision of doing something real good and great for these female athletes, you know, that one goal this year.

And you know, I decided to bring them all here to fabulous Las Vegas.

Why?

Because there's no better city for me to have these girls celebrate their winnings than Las Vegas.

And plus, when a lot of people come to Vegas, they think of flavor.

So everybody size should run for mayor.

I might be your next mayor.

I don't know.

But I'm just joking, just joking.

Anyway, but thank you guys though for for seeing my vision and and allowing us to really, you know, do something great for the city of Las Vegas by bringing these uh athletes here to Las Vegas, and I'm quite sure the athletes are definitely gonna appreciate it more.

So just thank you guys for seeing my vision.

Thank you.

Anything else?

Uh at this time, I will open the public hearing.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward.

Uh if if our applicants, if you'd want to step to the side for a moment.

Please state your name for the record.

My name is Eric King, huge fan of this man over here, and uh apparent apparently now the lady who's taking good care of him and our athletes.

Uh huge fan of all sports, and that Las Vegas has met my wishes for the past 20 plus years now of being a true sports town.

Uh, very excited about that, and to have such great fans of sports to help us along.

Awesome.

Um, I'd like to say, in terms of youth, uh, I would like to make a plug for um the volleyball teams that are here in town, which don't get as much love from sponsors we know as as many other sports.

Love basketball was a religion of mine growing up, uh, my favorite probably, and um certainly uh enjoyed many great times with great people, and I know our youth, as I described, being heavier more often than they used to be, um, could benefit a lot from that.

Uh not only I played countless games of basketball and volleyball uh with joyous people of all ages, including 80 plus years old.

Uh, but uh seeing eight-year-olds and under and so forth thrive in that milieu of hero worship, which I am guilty of for many uh sports athletes uh as well as um their community leaders who support all that.

It speaks volumes to what becomes in the mind of a child possible, but only for their health and well-being and longevity, but for the greatness of America, Las Vegas certainly, and our community in general.

So thank you all for taking having me take a little bit of time, and I look forward to hopefully knowing this kind man and this nice lady uh better, along with other great heroes I already worship in town.

And some of you are sitting facing me right now.

So thank you all, and I look forward to great things coming from the synergy and more things to happen like it for all of our youth.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker.

Yeah, my name is Al Rojas.

I'm a resident here of Clark County.

Definitely uh Las Vegas is moving towards a sports town, and we definitely want to encourage athletes coming here.

I also would like to say that uh for young kids.

I hope that we get some of our uh elementary schools, uh middle schools to come down and meet some of these athletes.

Young kids, especially in inner cities, need a vision.

I grew up in an inner city, I'm an electronics engineer.

Since I was a kid, I went to a lot of these uh high-tech uh companies, and I had a vision, it kept me out of off the streets, it kept me out of trouble, and I had a long-term vision as a young kid.

We need to start moving in that direction to Laura Crime in our community.

So I totally support this program, and it's kind of really strange because I am gonna be making the testimony that in 2036 it looks like Las Vegas is gonna be hosting the Olympics, and it's I don't know how this happened, but I will be testifying that during public comment.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Please come forward.

Seeing none, I'll turn it to Commissioner Gibson.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

I um I think all of us understand the need to recognize every uh one of our athletes, and that appears to be something that got missed in the translation.

So I I move approval of the event.

I also think it's important to note that uh last week we announced that the women's uh the professional uh women's hockey league uh has been expanded to include a Las Vegas and a Canadian team.

There are five of each country, and it'll be uh an opportunity for us to open the the door for our friends in Canada to come and watch their hockey teams play our hockey team.

Uh this is an exciting event if you think about all the things that we've done in sports uh in the recent years.

Obviously, this is another opportunity to further uh establish ourselves as the sports and entertainment leader of the world.

And so with that, sir, I ask that we I move approval of the item.

Thank you.

There's a motion for approval, please, Kess.

Uh, before we do that, Commissioner Sagerbloom.

Just wanted to mind Flave that the city of Las Vegas is great, but you're in Clark County at this parade.

Hey, I well, thank you, Claw County.

Hey, this is the let me tell you something.

I don't care what nobody say, but I live in the best city.

I don't care what nobody say.

Las Vegas is my city.

This is the best city.

Thank you all for giving me this opportunity for these girls.

And I mean, this is going to be real big, it's going to be an historical event, and this is going to be an event that people around the world will never never never ever forget.

And I just want to thank y'all for allowing me to have the opportunity to be able to do this right here in Las Vegas.

And also thank you all for giving the girls the key to the city.

Yes.

Oh, we'll have to say that.

Okay, the key to the script.

The key to the script.

Well, but thanks, but give the girl the key anyway, though.

Thank you very much.

There's a motion for approval on the floor.

Please cast your votes.

The motion passes.

Thank you.

Commissioners, we can now move to your introduction of compliments.

Commissioners, we can now move to your introduction of ordinances.

Item 66 is an ordinance to create a new Clark County Air Quality Regulation, Section 108 BOC emissions control for paper film, foil, fabric, or vinyl coating operations to regulate sources that may cause or contribute to volatile organic compound emissions within the 2015 ozone non-attainment boundary by implementing emission standards, work practices, permitting or registration requirements and record keeping and reporting requirements and providing for other matters properly related there too instead of public hearing.

Thank you, Manager Schiller.

I will introduce the ordinance and set the public hearing for Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026 at 10 a.m.

Commissioner's your next items and ordinance to create a new Clark County Air Quality Regulation, Section 122, reasonably available control technology for major sources in HA212 to codify the reasonably available control technology determinations for certain major stationary sources that may cause or contribute to emissions of nitrogen oxides or violatile organic compounds within the ozone non-attainment boundary.

Repeal section 121 reasonably available control technology determinations for specific major stationary sources in the 2015 eight-hour ozone NAAQS moderate non-attainment area HA212 and providing for other matters properly related there too and set a public hearing.

I'll introduce the ordinance and set the public hearing for Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026 at 10 a.m.

Commissioners, your next items in ordinance amending Title 20 of the Clark County Code, Chapter 20.10, Section 20.10.010 to amend rentals, fees and charges, Harry Reed International Airport, and provide for other matters properly related there too and set a public hearing or take other action as appropriate.

I'll introduce the ordinance and set the public hearing for Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026 at 10 a.m.

Okay, now move to your business section of your agenda.

Commissioners, your next items, identify emerging issues to be addressed by staff or by the board at future meetings, receive updates on the activities of various regional boards and commissions and direct staff accordingly.

Commissioner Sagerbloom.

I get priority today.

So earlier today on item 37, we uh changed the name of Cesar Chavez Park to Mariachi Park.

And I just wanted to point out that that's a very positive thing.

And this Saturday at 9 a.m.

at the park, we're gonna celebrate with a lot of mariachi bands and food and everything.

So thank you, uh fellow commissioners.

Thank you, Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

Uh thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Uh so I wanted to get the board's uh appetite.

Uh so Commissioner Sagerbloom, this year you did the heat summit last year.

I've been doing it with the health district.

Um I do I'd be interested in because it's a it's a talking point, right?

That everybody's going in different directions.

So I like the opiate task force.

We were able when we set up that board.

Well, quite frankly, we were mandated by the state to set up that board, but when we did it, um, we got a lot of good information out, and I'm nervous that the legislature might do the same thing again on beat heat mitigation because it's um everybody's got their own opinions, but you know, at the end of the day, there are the zip codes that we gotta work inward and work out, but maybe we gotta change some policies.

So I would like to know if the board would be interested in establishing a task force.

We already have all these regional agencies working together, uh, but they're all doing their own thing, which I don't like silos, and um, I do think we can move more mountains and you know, a great example is a tree giveaway.

We've been giving away trees for four four years, right?

And then people say not enough trees.

Okay, what we're trying to do it in the areas where it is really uh hot pockets.

We had looked at once upon a time um cool paving, like they do in Arizona, and I think that if maybe you brought all these agencies together, which they all have a small task of what they're supposed to be doing, right?

The health districts involved because it's in the in the statute.

Uh RTC is involved because it's part of you know, making sure when people get buses.

Clark County Social Services involved because we do all of the uh cooling stations, right?

So maybe if we brought them all together, we could have a regional uh staff level conversation and um accomplish more than what we're doing today.

Is that a nice way to say that?

So if I could just follow up and second that that's fantastic idea, and uh anything we can do to help you, please.

Anyone else for emerging issues?

Thank you.

Next item, Commissioner, is it approved the Clark County Parks and Recreation Director's reappointment of Mary Sabo to the art committee for our second and final three-year term ending May 17th, 2029?

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr.

Chair, Commissioners, Patrick Amamino, Director of Parks of Recreation.

The item before you today is uh approval of the reappointment of Mary Sabo to her final three-year term on the public art committee.

Um Ms.

Sabo is a visual artist, project manager, and arts administrator, uh graduate from UNLV with a bachelor in fine arts and sculptural concentration, but she also serves as the senior visual art specialist for the City of Las Vegas Cultural Affairs.

So her background in project management and visual art, but also in a public setting is certainly an asset that we look for on our public art committee.

So uh we seek your approval this morning, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Mr.

Chair, I move to for the reappointment of Mary Sabo.

Thank you.

There's a motion for approval.

Please cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Thank you.

Commissioner next items to accept and approve the business impact statement pursuant to NRS 237.090 for the proposed ordinance amending title 20 of the Clark County Code, chapter 20.10, section 20.10.010 to amend rentals, fees and charges, Harry Reid International Airport and provide for other matters properly related there too, or take other action as appropriate.

Good morning.

Good morning, Commissioners.

Joe Burkowski Airport Chief Financial Officer.

Um the item before you here is for our annual budget.

We met with the airlines on April 22nd and presented our budget, and we got unanimous approval from them on May 1st.

Um so with that, we are recommending that the board determine that the ordinance described here is does not provoke uh excuse me, does not impose a significant burden to the airlines.

Thank you.

Uh any questions from the board?

Mr.

Chair.

Yeah, I just wanted to chime in on this.

Um I know there had been a request by the chair to be able to attend that meeting with the airlines.

I I think that that's it was unfortunate that that uh did not occur.

Uh I think these decisions affect not just the airport itself, but the entire community and the priorities that I know you're working on right now, relating to renovation of Harry Reed International, particularly Terminal One need to be continually prioritized.

And while I'll support this item today, I I certainly hope that future boards uh that there is much more involvement between this board and the decision making uh of the airline representatives on that committee so that we can make the renovations that are truly necessary at Terminal One.

Nashville earlier this month, and it was quite transformational to see the work that they had done as a gateway to their tourist destination.

Um and returning to uh Terminal One in particular, it's not the gateway that it should be.

We need to do better.

Thank you, Commissioner Jones.

Director Chris, I I know you're aware of this board's desire, my desire to prioritize this project.

Uh I know we certainly want even more than we've already been receiving as far as hands-on information and involvement in it.

Uh I'll let you respond further.

Yeah, definitely.

Thank you.

Jim Chrisley, Director of Aviation, for the record.

But yes, Terminal One remodel and renovation is definitely our priority in our long-term capital planning.

The item before you, the rates and charges for our O and M budget, our annual OM process that's outlined in our airline use and lease agreement.

We do want to come back to you in June with an update on where we're at on the modernization program, as well as uh continue those those conversations and those updates, uh, probably again at the end of the year when we have a little more information to share or more details.

And I guess I would say too, then um, to Commissioner Jones's point, if you could notify us ahead of the next consortium meeting, the airline consortium meeting, that would be useful information.

Absolutely.

We will notify you.

They are an annual meeting, and uh we'll go from there.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anything else related to item 71.

Seeing no one, I'm move that we accept and approve the business impact statement.

Thank you.

There's a motion for acceptance of the business impact statement.

Please cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Thank you.

Commissioners, your next items to approve, adopt, and authorize the chair to sign an amendment to the resolution recognizing the Las Vegas Grand Prix L VGP as an annual event.

Um, by way of introduction of this item, uh, a couple comments.

This is an amendment to the original uh inaugural race resolution.

Um, this would extend through 2037.

Um, I did want to point out um some key pieces to this when we were approached by uh F1.

Um, as you know, we have our special events process, um, and we have continued with previous events, uh, EDC, the rodeo, you have an evolution of how events evolve related to setup, takedown.

Um they have committed uh to installation and uh removal improvements.

Uh those improvements include track lighting foundations, um, underground conduit for power and communication and then installation of permanent gates related to improved traffic road flow.

Um, as you know, this is a significant economic impact to our community and upwards of a billion dollars.

Um it employs uh many people within the community, and I think this is just a continued effort for us to continue to improve the process as we annualize this event through 2037.

And with that, I'll turn it over to the board.

Thank you.

I'm happy to make a few comments.

Uh, but is there anyone from the board that would like to speak?

If not, I'll start out by saying uh uh I support this, but it it's got to come with very clear parameters that the purpose of more time is to condense the timeline.

That is the purpose of what's before us in my mind, why I'm supportive of it.

I think there are clear things that have been demonstrated through the work uh that you and your office have done uh in conjunction with the organizers that set a path for a condensed timeline and condensed disruption.

Uh and it's gonna be really important that the county make sure that we continue to stay on that uh on that point.

Um seeing nothing further, I'll go ahead and move for uh approval and adoption of item 72.

That motion passes Commissioners your next items to receive a report from the director of public works on the status of complete streets projects identified in the 2022 Clark County Complete Streets Opportunities Report and discuss adoption of a formal complete streets policy and direct staff accordingly.

Commissioner Jones.

Uh thank you, Mr.

Uh Manager.

I think Mr.

Cederberg has a presentation.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Uh Dennis Cederberg, Department of Public Works.

What's the reft of the morning?

I should say.

Uh, this is a this is a presentation on a study that was performed by CA group together with the UNOVA Center of for Business and Economic Research and the UNLB Transportation Resource Center.

It was uh a contract that would explore complete street opportunities within Clark County.

Um executive summary, complete streets enable safe access for all users, pedestrians, bicycles, motors, and transit riders of all ages and abilities can safely move along and across a complete street.

The balance between safety and convenience for all users use lighting complete street helps determine the road design.

No complete street will be the same due to the variety of roadways and user needs.

So the group undertook a study of potential street opportunities within Clark County in which they can engage the integration of complete streets.

They looked at summarized their findings and efforts, including literature review, evaluation criteria, recommendations, and a prioritized list of potential complete streets.

The literature review, review of plans, documents, and existing conditions.

They looked all over the nation and other locations on complete streets, evaluated agency models for complete streets policies, and they did an evaluation of existing ordinances and regulations permitting development processes for land use modifications in Clark County.

They also did an evaluation criteria.

The project team incorporated information from all their literature research, determined the highest potential roadway corridors as complete streets.

The criteria included considerations such as safety, access, mobility, demographic, socioeconomic, land use, health, and aesthetic characteristics along the road waste sections, historical and latent travel demand estimates by mode, and their sensitivity to the right-of-way and proximity land use characteristics.

They developed the project evaluation and prioritization schedule based on the via criteria.

This task identified corridors where complete streets could be applied within industry standards and leverages open access resources such as the Clark County Open Web.

The project team evaluated the initial candidate quarters and classified each quarter as eliminated from consideration or recommended for further consideration.

The court of evaluation categories considered safety and the value of the value of statistical life based on crash data and models considered.

From zero to three, a low VSL was zero, a high VSL was three.

Another evaluation criteria was connectivity.

Connectivity, the percentage of automobile ownership by census block, annual average daily traffic, RTC Southern Nevada Regional Walkability Plan, and the RTC Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for Southern Nevada.

The ranking was little or no connectivity, had zero, high connectivity with three or more modes, ranked three.

Zero had low density compared to other candidate corridors and mixed zoning with half mile buffer is not between 50 to 70 percent residential.

The highest rating, the quarter is located in high density area compared to other candidate quarters with mixed gist zoning, half mile buffer is between 50 and 70 percent residential.

They also looked at economic activity, the American Community Survey ACS quarterly census of employment and wages, and Clark County FY23 assessor data for the average property value per unit.

Quarters with Nevada DEAR U.S.

Census and Clark County data indicate high income, high property value, high unemployment track compared to other candidate corridors, received the lowest rating.

The highest rating was given to candidate quarters that DEDER U.S.

Census, Clark County Assessors data indicated a low income, low property value, and low employment track compared to other candidate quarters.

They also considered the environment.

They used the RTC Heat Vulnerability Index map, a high high heat vulnerability received the highest ranking, low heat vulnerability received the lowest ranking.

The initial candidate quarters included Twain Avenue between Paradise and Spencer, Vegas Valley Drive between Tamil Shantor and east of Vegas Valley Drive, University Center Drive between East Tropicana Avenue and Desert End Road, Cairn Avenue, Paradise Road to McLeod, Sierra Vista, Paradise Road to Maryland Parkway, West Tarman, Spring Valley Parkway to Harmon Coast Court, Carey Avenue, North Paradise Road, North Pecos Road to Sloan Lane, Spring Mountain, Spring Mountain Rainbow to Aldeburn Avenue, Durango, West Warm Springs to Badura, Jeffrey Street, Spencer Street to Southeastern Avenue, Owens Avenue, Nellis to End of Owens Avenue, Warm Springs Road, Fort Apache, South Jones Boulevard, and around Sunset Park, including Eastern Avenue and Sunset Road.

After going through the scoring matrix, they identified this ranking of quarters.

Twain had the highest point value around Sunset Park had the lowest point value.

The streets of Durango, Warm Springs Road, and around Sunset were considered no further consideration, primarily because of the volumes of traffic on these roadways.

I should mention that we've done work on Twain Avenue.

We've done work on Cairn Avenue.

We've also done Carey Avenue, and we're now working on Spring Mountain Road.

Future projects do include Owens Avenue.

Two projects were recommended for further consideration.

Twain Avenue between Paradise and Spencer Street.

They recommended various alternatives for complete streets opportunities.

One was adding the bike lane with current lane configuration.

Two was uh adding wider sidewalks with a landscape buffer, no bike lane, and three was add bike lane, parking, one lane in each direction, plus sidewalk.

For Twain Avenue, we did do a section of Twain Avenue between Algonquin and Spencer Street over near Orr Middle School.

This is what Twain Avenue looked in the before condition.

This is what it looked at in the after condition.

We took a lane that took away a travel lane in each direction.

We added a buffered bike lane and parking on both sides of the street.

Spring Mountain Road was the second project for reconsideration.

It had a proposal with a current lane configuration of adding a buffered landscape area plus sidewalk, and it showed this is current lane configuration, three westbound, two eastbound lanes.

The alternative was to remove a lane, add wider sidewalk, two lanes at each direction with a center turn lane or median.

We did a second phone for Spring Mountain Road.

We did an analysis of traffic traffic operations, traffic safety, looked at the proposed improvements, performed a benefit cost analysis, and wrote up a summary and conclusion.

The conclusion came up with this cross section associated with Spring Mountain Road.

It approved removing one of the westbound lanes, considering constructing two lanes in each direction, landscape buffer, and a pedestrian wider sidewalk with a median.

This gives you the type of configuration you would have.

This is in the after condition.

We added buffer bike lane parking, a pedestrian crossing for school crossing.

We added street lights and sidewalk where none existed.

Also, Carey Avenue was on the list of projects.

This was in the proposed before before condition.

We added two lanes in each direction, a median, buffered bike lanes, sidewalks, and street lights in this area.

This is another view of Carey Avenue going east.

It did not extend to Toyobi before it used to wind through a residential neighborhood.

What we did is we acquired right away from Nellis Air Force Base.

We put a new connection on Carey Avenue between Tyobi and Christie, added median, center street lights, offset sidewalk.

What also this did is there's three schools located on the east side of Kerry.

They used to use Lake Meeton Boulevard for their routing.

They now use Carrie Avenue as a more efficient route.

Finally, this is County's current complete streets policy.

It's in the Clark County Master Plan Transfer Transform Clark County.

It's policy 4.1.7 complete streets.

Attributes as part of county infrastructure projects to the maximum extent practical as a means to reduce traffic congestion.

Improve air quality, improve air quality, air and water quality, increase the quality of life of residents by providing safe, convenient, and comfortable routes for walking, bicycling, public transportation, and driving.

That concludes my presentation.

Thank you, Mr.

Cederberg.

I appreciate the update.

Um, and a lot of work has been uh done.

Uh certainly I've worked with you and your team on Spring Mountain and some of the other projects that are in my district.

I know my colleagues have done the same.

Uh in terms of the policy that was adopted into uh Transform Clark County, how does that filter down into the design process in public works when new projects are considered?

Well, on our projects we consider we've done quite a few reconstructions of a lot of our streets.

Uh all of those typically on 80 foot streets.

We've incorporated buffered bike lanes or bike lanes, we've added sidewalks and street lights where none existed.

Recent example is Harmon Avenue between Maryland Parkway and Boulder Highway.

Uh we did East Hawcienda between Mountain Vista and Stephanie Street, and typically all east side streets where we do reconstruction where the majority of them are in poor condition.

We've gone through looking at the bicycle and walkability plan, added sidewalks, all the ADA improvements and buffered bike lanes or bike lanes where we can.

Great.

I know we're coming up on the adoption of our uh next 10 year CIP plan, capital improvement plan for public works, uh, and there had been allocations of dollars, sort of line items for complete streets projects in the past, and some of those have been drawn down for specific projects.

I understand that there is uh going to be a line item on there for complete streets improvements and safety improvements.

How will that get translated into uh projects going forward?

Um, what we do with RTC, we we create these buckets and when we we draw down on the money, but when we actually do the agreement with RTC, it usually identifies a project limit such as Fort Apache between Warm Springs and Blue Diamond, and that'll include complete streets elements.

So that gives us a budget, a portion of the budget to apply to that project for complete streets.

So we look at the street itself.

We don't typically do an agreement that says a complete street description in the agreements, it's usually just a road with the limits, and it includes bike lanes, buffered bike lanes, sidewalks, and street lights.

Okay, and I know one of the issues that this board has raised in the past.

RPM gives us a monthly project booked.

We've asked your department to do something similar, um, and we are getting quarterly reports now as a result of that.

How can we make sure that those quarterly reports better reflect the improvements that some of the improvements that you've uh identified today that have been completed?

Yes, what we've done is is because of what we've Commissioner NAFT has asked about safety improvements, you've asked about complete streets, is now to track and identify those types of improvements that we apply to our roadway reconstruction projects and our new roadway projects.

Okay, and in terms of the uh the uh projects that were identified as a result of the evaluation.

I know there's been some of the twain improvements uh completed.

Spring Mountain is sort of in in process with design.

Uh, how do we ensure that the the remainder of the projects uh as we look forward to the 10-year CIP get funded and completed?

Um to ensure ensuring the the projects get funded, that's all part of the capital improvement progress.

Budgets sometimes go up, budgets go down.

So each year we have the opportunity to modify the budget to add complete streets and add streets that are we going to reconstruct.

So I guess the assurances that we will give you is from public works as a department will ensure that those projects are brought to your attention and shown that there are complete streets elements being included in those projects.

We completed Cactus Avenue between Fort Apache and Buffalo.

That has a buffered bike lane in it, two lanes, a bridge over the wash.

We restriped cactus between Buffalo and Rainbow to add a lane.

We've done Gomer.

Gomer had a road in it that was three lanes.

We took out a lane, put a buffered bike lane in it.

That project was not identified on the Capital Project.

At your request, we simply went out and did it.

Understood.

And I appreciate that.

I I do hope that similar improvements, and it's not just Justin's policy.

This is complete speech policy that's been adopted by this entire board, are incorporated uh throughout the county.

So I'll see the floor.

To follow up on that point, at what point in the process will we see those?

As you know, I've seen designs that are 60% done, 60% complete, and then I have comments to make, and it sets the project back years.

Um what what is that commitment from public works to with the commissioner whose district it is and then we have now with the commissioner in the district, we meet on a monthly basis that those have scheduled those monthly meetings for us to go over the project list in your district, and that's to avoid those type of commitments in the future or comments in the future of where we've got so long, and there's a request from a commissioner to add a specific amenity or type of mode of transportation, is to continue with those monthly meetings and bring those to your attention so you're aware of what's going on, and you can comment on the earlier spaces.

Um I know it's straying a little bit from the agenda item, but could you comment since the time I've been here?

You've had vacancies in senior management, senior level positions in your department.

I'm thrilled that we're starting to fill uh one specifically.

Could you just maybe update us on assignments and tasks of those leaders in your department?

And then I I think you have one of the highest vacancy rates countywide right now in your department.

What are we doing to actively fill it?

Your department, every presentation we've heard today depends on your department.

Uh those of us, all of us have your roads in our districts, some of us have almost exclusively your roads.

Um we need we need the department to be responsive, more responsive, even so than it is.

Um how are we filling those positions?

A good majority of those positions are in our road division, which experiences over a 20% vacancy rate.

Many of them are they've gone through a series of retirements lately.

Um they've lost a couple assistant managers.

We just hired one assistant manager in road division.

We go through maintenance workers quite often.

It's the entry-level position.

Many times they get trained and they get their CDL and they move on to other areas where they can make a little more money, and where they're making more money in other agencies, there's vacancies, we do tend to lose them to other agencies.

But what we've done on the senior management, I now have two senior deputy directors and a deputy director.

Um we're looking at a manager for administration type services and public works right now.

Uh that buying position was posted, it's been recruited for, and we anticipate interviews in the next month or so.

That's great.

Thank you.

Anyone else have comments?

I might make a comment.

I I've appreciated the monthly meeting.

It's helped us get more granular in terms of what we understand about what's going on.

Uh you know, an example of the good work that is being done is this work that we're doing on Hollywood in an effort to complete, not in the in the term of art that we're talking about here today, but complete that road so that we get more movement across the valley, and that is gonna be a really big thing for us.

The one of the challenges that we've seen, both as we worked on uh Tropicana Boulevard and the depressed uh rut roadway and on uh Hollywood is that there are uh in my opinion, far too many times when we're required to do NEPA work that almost appears needless, but in the end it's required of us, and that really sets us back.

Um now we've lived long enough to get through some of it.

We've made some changes in terms of what we're gonna do with uh Tropic Canon.

We're making a presentation of the Board of Regions here in the next few days.

Uh but the those monthly meetings uh I appreciate the way that you come to those meetings, uh you and uh Kaisad as you brief really make an effort to help us understand exactly what's happening.

And you've been responsive to the things that I've asked of you.

So I appreciate very much all of that work.

I get it that if you don't, if we're if there's something wrong with the pay scale, um, then we need to take a hard look at it because there isn't a department that is more impactful across the entire county than uh your department.

And if there's work to be done there, then we need to continue working on it.

Thank you very much for your presentation.

Just a comment on the uh Hollywood extension.

It does contain a lot of complete street elements.

It has two safety elements, two roundabouts in going forward with it.

It's a road that's done from scratch through an open area.

We have a separated buffered bike lane multi-use trail along the entire length of the across through the wetlands park area.

Well, not only that, we've bridged uh a portion of uh the the area where it crosses so that the wildlife can move back and forth uh anywhere near the uh wetlands park.

I mean, it's gonna be an incredible street, and we really appreciate the work that's been done there.

Thank you.

Commissioner and uh at Commissioner Gibson's suggestion, you went out and decided to put a fence down Boulder Highway, uh, which has made a huge difference.

I used to at a press conference with you.

Um we just did a $500,000, another couple of miles.

Uh and we're gonna keep doing it, but it's it's really gonna change the pedestrian fatality on that road, which you did on your own, so thank you.

No, that was a very good idea.

Um when we met first with Jeff Clark, who's the area commander in Southeast.

Um I I wondered whether or not that was something we'd be able to get on.

As it turns out, I think last year we had five fatalities right there in the first area that we fenced, and or excuse me, uh a year ago, this past year we had zero.

It has made an enormous difference.

And uh the Boulder Highway is probably one of the least safe pedestrian for for pedestrians roads that we have in all of Clark County, and that's been really critical.

Thank you for that too.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Commissioners your next items to receive a presentation from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority about their various programs and services.

Good morning.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, uh Sir NAFT uh members of the board.

Um I'm Steve Help.

I'm the CEO of the Las Vegas Convention of Visitors Authority.

I appreciate the opportunity to be with you today.

Um, maybe particularly uh today.

Um I we at the LVCVA and I personally am aware that uh often the more successful at our job we are, the more difficult we make your job and the job of your staff.

Um and I just want to say thank you for um the all of the work that you do, all of the work that your staff does uh in order to move this city forward.

Um today is a great example of that.

Um there are uh obviously a couple of uh agenda items um prior to me today that uh really matter to us.

Um Boring Company from Formula One from the A's ballpark, um, all of those have created um thousands of hours of work uh here at the county.

Um and wouldn't have been possible uh if you hadn't all done such a fantastic job uh at your jobs and uh moving the city forward.

So um thank you for doing that.

Thank you for the partnership.

We very much appreciate that.

Um I am uh cognizant of the hour.

I'm gonna try and move through the presentation here today quickly.

Um welcome to interrupt me if you have questions along the way.

Happy to answer them at the end of the presentation as well.

Um I'm gonna talk a little bit uh about where the destination is right now, how the city's doing, talk a little bit about 25 or 2025, which I think all of you are very aware of.

Um talk about many of the great things that are going on uh in our city right now, um, how we see the future uh to the extent that we can um talk a little bit about uh what we have coming this summer, uh including some of the marketing work that uh R and uh the team here at uh the LVC VA have done.

We're pretty excited about that as well.

Um I'm gonna break a little bit of news um before I start.

Um we have a couple of folks in Cairo, Egypt uh right now.

Uh Janice Burke, who is our new chief sports officer, and Tyler Baldwin who works for her, um participated in a um uh really uh intense competition uh to bring an event called the World Gym Nestrata to uh the United States for the first time, actually out of Europe uh for the first time uh and overnight here, but uh today in Cairo, uh Las Vegas was awarded that event.

Uh that event includes about 25,000 participants.

Uh we think well over 100,000 room nights that will take place in July of 2031.

Um we haven't yet what we just did.

I announced that event.

Um so this is an area that Janice has a great deal of history, and she is uh kind of an expert in the sports industry internationally.

She opens up uh new opportunities for us, and uh this is one of the first one, and it is going to be a big one.

Um so we're excited to to host that in 2031.

Um you all know this, but I just want to point out how important uh the tourism and hospitality uh industry is to Las Vegas.

You know, we talk about 250,000 direct jobs in the industry.

Um but to put that in perspective, um, that's about one in every five or six jobs that are in uh Clark County.

Um it's also one in every 10 people who live uh here.

Um and so it is you know, obviously an enormous industry.

We remain uh the community that is most reliant on a single industry.

Um it brings nearly 90 billion dollars a year in direct and indirect uh economic impact.

Umbers that you know from 2025, and uh we compare these often still to 2019, same number of hotel rooms, occupancy drop, visitation uh dropped as we went through 2025.

Um the count numbers were down the uh financial numbers, uh whether that's RevPAR or average daily rate or gaming win uh were somewhat better uh than the drop that we saw in just pure visitation.

Uh convention attendance remained um flat uh from 24 to 25, still has not completely recovered uh from 2019.

And as you can see, um international continues to suffer.

That is the difference between 24 and 25 is largely the drop from Canada that we uh have talked about and uh experienced last year.

Um the other hand uh was a very good quarter.

Um we saw some increase in visitation.

We saw real significant increase in convention attendance.

Um the the um increase that we saw across the board in March uh is about two-thirds attributed to CONEXPO being here.

I'll just point out the Con Expo comes once every three years, and it gives us the opportunity to see what a show of that magnitude, and we have four or five of them typically, um, means to the destination because they're not here for two years.

Um the other shows that we have like this, um, CES, the Home Builders, SEMA, um, those shows are here every year, so we don't see the contrast.

Um Expo, the year that it is here makes about a 10% difference uh in the entire revenue of the city in tourism hospitality industry the year they're here versus the year they're not.

Um it's a remarkable spotlight that it puts on uh the importance of uh those major trade shows.

But anyway, good first quarter.

Um, and we continue to lead the nation and the world in so many different ways.

Um we have the most hotel rooms of every any city in the world.

We are the number one trade show uh destination in the world by such a margin that uh really no one has the opportunity to catch us.

Um Legion Stadium was the number one grossing stadium uh in 2025 in the United States, number two in the world in the sphere uh was the highest grossing venue.

Um so remarkable additions that you have helped facilitate uh over just the last number of years.

Um we have become the sports and entertainment capital of the world, and there are so many events that are here now.

Um I don't need to go through all those.

You're aware, I think, of all of them.

Um, but we just, for example, had EDC in town uh this last weekend.

Um hundred and eighty thousand people a day for three days uh at the speedway.

They are looking at the opportunity to maybe expand that, uh, which would be fantastic.

Um, but just another successful event that uh Las Vegas hosts.

Uh we are clearly the meetings capital of the world.

Uh we now have 15 million square feet of meeting space.

Um we uh had six million convention attendees in 2025.

We are at a pace to exceed that number this year.

And that industry brings I I think at least $10 billion a year in direct spending from visitors annually.

You can see some of the largest trade shows that we have, and we we put this up to show you that, but also to show you the international reach of these shows.

Each one of these shows brings between 20 and 40 percent of their attendees from countries outside of the United States.

They are a big part of our international visitation.

Those folks tend to come and stay longer.

It's obviously a huge part of our industry here in southern Nevada.

I don't need to show you much about the loop.

I appreciate the all the assistance that you have made over the last number of years to help move this project forward.

As Commissioner Gibson pointed out earlier, uh the work that you have done now brings about the opportunity to move forward more quickly.

We are excited about that.

This is uh how we see the next phases uh of this project, connecting the entire resort corridor and then um hopefully beyond uh from there.

Our partnership with uh the folks at the airport at Reed Airport matters a great deal.

It is, as Commissioner Jones pointed out earlier, um, the gateway to our city, it is the last thing uh that many of our visitors experience on their way home.

Um this month uh we are directly connected to 154 destinations both domestically and internationally.

If you look over the entire year, that number jumps uh to about a hundred and seventy.

We're connected directly to nine countries through 28 total airlines.

And just to give you a sense of where we are in our uh international connection, we're obviously down in Canada from a capacity standpoint.

Uh airlines are uh responding to the reduction in demand and uh so reducing the number of seats uh that they have coming to Las Vegas from Canada.

Um, but everywhere else in the world uh we are either growing or uh maintaining where we are.

We still have a handful of real targets uh that we want to go after internationally, whether that's Tokyo or Sao Paulo.

We were able to recently announce a direct connection through QATAS to Sydney, Australia, which was on our target list.

Um we want to be in Istanbul or Dubai, um, and we continue to look at uh direct connections in Europe.

We may have seen just recently we announced that uh the Michelin guide is going to return to Las Vegas in the Southwest.

Uh they are doing so uh with a different business model that used to concentrate on individual cities.

Um that has stopped really making business sense for them.

So they will be doing this in the Southwest.

They will be hosting their dinner in which they will make their announcements for their winners on August 26th at the Fontainebleau, and we're excited to welcome Michelin back to Las Vegas and to be able to recognize uh the fantastic culinary scene that we have here in Las Vegas.

It's one of the biggest reasons, the biggest draws uh that we have.

I often say that we are the only city in the world that has the ability to treat 60 or 70 or 80,000 people like a VIP all at the same time.

And a big reason for that is the magnitude of the fantastic restaurants uh that we have in town.

We all know we have the hotel rooms, but we have a place to seat 50 and 60 and 80,000 people in an evening at a fantastic restaurant so that when we host these great events, we can also elevate those events by the experience uh that those visitors have uh around that event.

Know about the A Stadium.

You saw a whole presentation today.

I will skip through this.

Uh you've seen the stadium going up.

Um, certainly exciting, certainly going to be exciting to start to see the roof be constructed as well.

Um as Sandy mentioned earlier today, um, there is a stadium authority meeting on Thursday.

Um we are going to get a little further into the question that was raised during that uh conversation here uh around what the alternatives are for that Northwest Plaza start to understand that timeline a little better and at least put a spotlight on that.

Looking ahead, we've got some really big things coming, some of which I think everybody is well aware of, some of which maybe not as much.

As Commissioner Gibson pointed out earlier, we were able to welcome the professional women's hockey league to Las Vegas.

In a press conference last week, they will start play at T Mobile Arena in November.

We're certainly excited about that.

That league's only been in existence for three years.

It's had some really great success.

They're averaging 9300 attendees per game.

We will have a draft between now and the time uh they start in November to round out uh the team here in Las Vegas.

Uh five of the world champions that will be hosted here uh in Clark County are going to be in that draft, so we're excited to see where they land.

Hope to uh have one of them land here in our city.

Um we've got college football national championship coming up in January of this year.

Um something that may not have drawn quite as much attention, but we have the women's Big Ten Championship that we're going to host uh in March ahead of uh a women's super regional um where you know right now there are four regionals leading to the semifinals and finals of both the men's and women's NCA tournament.

Um the women have gone to a super regional format where two of those regionals are played in a city, and so we will have two of the women's regional tournaments uh played simultaneously at T Mobile um in late March and into early April.

Um so we're excited about that.

We've got the hard rock that um nobody can miss uh going up uh on Las Vegas Boulevard.

We're excited uh for their opening in late 27.

Um and then we come back in um early um 2028 for uh the Big Ten men's basketball championship.

Um the women's and men's basketball championship happened in Las Vegas.

This will be the first time that a major Big Ten sport has had their championship west of the Mississippi.

Um we're proud that they chose Las Vegas.

We know it's the right place for them to do it.

Uh we look forward to uh continuing to develop uh the relationship with the Big Ten.

Right after the men's Big Ten Championship and all of the other conference championships that we host here in Las Vegas, we will host the men's final four um in April April 1st actually uh and third of 2028.

Um we're gonna have to work to make sure that the men's final four championship doesn't occur on the exact same date that we open uh the A's ballpark because it is going to happen um within 10 days plus or minus uh of each other.

Um so we'll make sure that we put you know, talk to Major League Baseball and put a little time between uh those two events, but that's going to be a pretty exciting uh period of time for for our destination.

Um and then certainly um not least, but last at least on this list, uh, we are going to bring back the Super Bowl in 2029.

Um, that as well.

And then um I think as you all know, uh as we went through summer uh of 2025, we experienced the biggest downturn that we'd seen last year.

Um our visitation was down you know 1112 and 1.13 percent.

Um so we are leaning in hard to improve those results as we go through summer of 2026.

Some of this is an advertising campaign, some of this is um uh opportunities for our visitors, and I'll talk a little bit about a couple of those.

We have a few more surprise announcements coming up as we move through the next week.

Um, but we're excited about the opportunities that our visitors are gonna have uh this summer and looking to uh have a great uh set of results uh for summer in 2026.

Um the LVC VA, so we have a few videos.

This is uh sizzle reel for uh our pack for Vegas uh events, some of the great work from uh RR and our marketing department.

Some of the great work from uh RR and our marketing department.

Um we are Las Vegas, so we are not just going to have a fantastic fireworks show on July 4th, which we are going to have that will rival our New Year's Eve fireworks.

Um, but we are going to have fireworks on each of eight weekends.

Um the other seven weekends um are smaller, they will be on pods of three properties.

Um, but we're going to give our visitors an opportunity to experience this in Las Vegas uh for each of eight weeks.

Um excited about that.

No that's going to be a real draw as we go through the summer.

Um and then this is um one of our 15 second spots.

So anyway, um we've got six of those that we will roll out over the next few months.

Um with that, uh I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you, Mr.

Hill.

Are there questions?

Commissioner Jones, then Gibson.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Thank you, Ms.

Chair, and thank you, Mr.

Hale, for your presentation.

Um congratulations on all of the success from the LBC VA.

Uh I'm excited about the Michelin star guide.

Uh we have fantastic restaurants on the strip, but we all know that the best food is in Chinatown, right?

Absolutely.

Um I mentioned earlier that I'd been to Nashville recently.

I got to be there with a bunch of economic developers and planners.

Uh they're rebuilding their NFL uh Tennessee Titan Stadium there.

That project is part of a much larger redevelopment project in which they are incorporating uh public trails, public park and a uh performing arts center.

Um what I I guess uh a lot of that is incorporated into the economic development work that the city is doing.

You see that also in Orlando.

Uh they have sort of a unification of their visit Orlando uh uh messaging, their tourism, their convention uh, and their economic development.

You're an expert in economic development.

You arguably have brought the biggest economic diversification project to the state in this century.

Um what can we do better to leverage the amazing work the LBC VA is doing to ensure that when we do have another downturn, we all hope we don't, but we're gonna uh that we have the diversification of businesses that we need.

Sports is awesome.

I'm looking forward to NBA and MLS and all the other new franchises that are coming here.

Uh, but we also got to be prepared for the fact that um there we need other industries to come here and see the amazing um folks that we have here in Las Vegas.

Well, um obviously the work uh that uh you do at the county, the work uh that you partner with LVGEA and uh Daniel Casey now is exceptionally important.

Um I believe in diversifying the economy and even more than we have.

Um we have become more diverse.

I mean, that uh is something that tends to get a little bit lost.

Some of the high-profile things that we get to do in tourism and hospitality may drown out that message, um, but we have gotten more diverse.

Um the diversity that we're seeing in our industry, I think provides opportunity for economic diversity too.

Um building around the sports industry that's coming.

Um we are bringing more and more sports to Las Vegas.

I did more and more customers uh for potential businesses that support that industry itself, and there's so many ways to do that.

That can be health care, that can be nutrition, it can be um training issues, it can be the media side of that.

Um certainly the gaming aspect and everything around gaming and sports.

Um that's an opportunity.

We've seen more manufacturing companies come uh to Clark County, and um I think that's an opportunity.

Um I think the community can do a better job of is understanding the stories that we actually have to tell, the success stories that are here, why they happened, so that they can be a trigger uh for others who are considering, you know, mostly expanding.

Most companies don't really relocate.

They look for places to expand.

This is a fantastic place for many companies to expand.

Um so I think that's a it's an opportunity for us to do a better job of telling those stories.

Um the other thing I'll point out is that um in a couple of ways we are resource constraint.

And so looking to focus on areas that don't require the same level of resources, whether that's big plots of land or quite a bit of water, those types of opportunities will exist, and they certainly may still make sense.

But with the move toward technology, with the move toward AI, with all of those technology-based jobs, they're not resource intensive.

And a focus on that I think matters and would be helpful for our community.

Appreciate that.

And uh look forward to a follow-up uh meeting between you and Danielle.

Mr.

Hill, um, can you talk a little bit about Memorial Day and what we'll be doing?

Um, I can talk about some of what we're going to be doing at Memorial on Memorial Day.

Um, but we've got a surprise on Memorial Day evening that's going to be pretty spectacular too, that uh we're gonna wait to unveil until we get uh to uh to that evening.

But um, you know, Memorial Day is always a fantastic uh weekend in Las Vegas, and you know, this year it's headlined by BTS.

So if that's what you were referring to, uh absolutely uh they have sold out four uh different dates at Allegiant Stadium, which is a pretty remarkable thing.

Um and I'm sure it was a record sell out for several hundred thousand tickets.

Uh so um that's gonna be one of the highlights this weekend, but uh there'll be a few more, and we're kind of excited to unveil those on Monday as well.

That'll be exciting.

Thank you.

Anything else?

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the work and the partnership.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Commissioner next item is to discuss the composition priorities and the role of the community development advisory committee and recommend that funding agreements require Clark County branding and recognition and printed materials and on-site and direct staff accordingly.

Thank you.

Um I'm sure several of us have comments on this.

I'll I'll throw a couple things out.

For starters, this body, while some members of this body have done a really good job and have been very valuable to us.

This is kind of some bureaucracy that we've created for ourselves for absolutely no uh you know long-term benefit.

The the this doesn't have to, there's nothing in federal requirements, there's nothing locally that requires this body.

So I think from a starting point, anything that we have is above and beyond what is required.

We have exceptionally talented people in this building uh who can continue to provide analysis and recommendations.

Um minimum, I would suggest that uh if there's support a minimum to mi to reduce the size of this body.

It's too many people.

All of us serve on various bodies.

Uh at a certain point, there's just too many people to have a meaningful conversation.

Um, and I think that number is 36.

Uh reducing it to my proposal, and I'm open for discussion, would be seven voting members, three non-voting members.

The seven voting members would be appointed by each commission district, three non-voting members would be appointed by the three cities that partner with us on this, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, and Musquite.

Um, and I think that would perhaps lead to better conversation.

I would also point out that I think participation really matters in this.

There are some individuals who have participated at a very high level, um, but unfortunately, about half this body hasn't even scored the applications.

And so I don't know why exactly we would continue to appoint people if they're that that's kind of the if they're not scoring the applications, then it's probably not a good body for them to be a part of.

Um we need that work to get done.

Um so uh I think min I think limiting the size to seven would help with some of those other problems.

And then the other piece um that I think several is uh several of us have alluded to over time, and Commissioner Kirkpatrick spoke to recently uh was to make sure that in our guidelines on the CHF funds with the award, we're making sure that uh Clark County is represented in that agreement.

And so there is some language in there right now, uh provisions that require notifications and uh certain recognitions.

Um I I think that staff can come back to us with uh clear regulations that really reflect the county's significant role in some of these projects, and I think that'd be about a value to the broader community.

Uh I'll pause there.

Commissioner, yeah.

Well, I have a couple thoughts.

So, for one, I mean, look, I'm gonna just be honest, I have five town boards, most of them are rural.

It doesn't make sense for them to drive all the way from Logendale for something that's never gonna impact them, right?

And but it's a requirement that we gotta fill the box.

So I I just think that maybe the town board could actually hear whatever the projects there, and and then they could, you know, give a at least keep them in the loop communication or something, but I'm not interested in 40 members of the board.

Um I'm most frustrated with um so I'm gonna try to think how to say this nicely, but um, because I want to be really direct, but I'm most in frustrated with we sh always share all of our money with everybody when each entity gets their own set of money and they do whatever they want and they don't necessarily share, right?

So I'm most frustrated with we fund a project once and then they just keep coming back every time, right?

Like we're gonna fund the whole thing.

So there could be a billion-dollar project.

Clark County gives them 10 million dollars and then they're back every year.

Or it's no different than when they apply for the services one and they hire 10 employees and then they come back every year with an expectation, right?

And we we see this really in OAG because heaven forbid that you take somebody off the list.

How dare you?

We thought that we were entitled for our life until the end of the project.

But I I think that we need to know what is the whole budget, what is the whole plan?

We ask everybody else, what is their operation look like?

How is that gonna be funded?

Because we don't want what happens if that money goes away.

Then the program goes away, and I'm not interested in uh working on those type of programs.

Um and I do think during COVID, um, we did some really good transparency pieces with everybody that we gave money to, right?

We kind of asked all the right questions, we put our logos on things because I I will and I I said it last time and I was mad last time, but I'm trying to be nicer this time.

But the end of the day, Clark County is so busy working that we're not even making the ribbon cuttings, and oh, by the way, they're not even accommodating our schedule to be at the ribbon cutting, and we funded it and they've done nothing, right?

So I just we should get credit for what credit is due.

We should have our logo on everything that we find.

Uh not just this, everything that we fund, because at the end of the day, um, I sure get the calls when people are complaining about why they don't have funding, uh, they quickly send them to me.

But we people should know that our 11 billion dollar budget is going to all these things, right?

Food banks would not exist if Clark County didn't step up.

Um social service, foster care.

I tell everybody all the time, hey, not for nothing, foster care kids, they have everything they need on the first day of school.

You know why?

Because we make sure that happens.

That is not the message out there.

So I I could go on my soapbox about this, but it do needs needs to really be condensed.

And if we want other folks' opinion, I think the town board could give us that opinion, right?

Because that's what we do anyways.

We appoint one of them.

But at the same time, I want to prioritize Clark County projects because we we need them across the valley.

We and we all represent Clark County across the valley.

So that's that's my two cents.

I'm very passionate about this, and thank you for bringing it back.

Thank you, Commissioner Jones.

I would say ditto on size of CDAC and prioritizing unincorporated Clark County projects.

I think the other thing that some of the other jurisdictions do better is being proactive in identifying projects as opposed to reactive.

We really just wait around until I don't want to say that we haven't tried within our own departments, but our own departments haven't been as proactive or responsive and coming up with projects themselves or identifying nonprofits uh that we want to partner with to accomplish our goals as a county.

So I think that we need to do a better job of defining what we want to accomplish and then how do we get there?

You know, we have a much more expanded redevelopment area than we used to before.

We have lots more land as a result of that, in which we could partner with redevelopment dollars to accomplish goals pairing the C DBG funds with redevelopment dollars or other dollars.

I concur with the comments that my colleagues have made.

I think that the one thing that I've pushed for, and I haven't meant to say that we need to have 35 or 40 people uh on the committee, but I think that citizen input is an important way to get the word out uh that we are doing things.

I mean, I when I go to some of these um groundbreakings or ribbon cuttings, um I I get asked what what what does the county do?

And I'm like, I'm here because we contributed millions of dollars to help build this thing.

I think it's important for people to understand where their tax dollars are going.

And if we don't do this right, the word doesn't get out.

In the end, the good that we do is just immeasurable.

I I think of the St.

Jude's, you know, out in Boulder City.

You know, we they came to us, we made a grant to them.

It turns out that because of the structure of the grant, they couldn't receive it.

So that wasn't the end of it.

So what Clark County did was we figured out another way to provide them with the resource.

And uh, you know, if you go out to St.

Jude's, I mean, what an incredible facility.

If you haven't been there, you you need to go there.

Um, and the good we do there is immeasurable.

So I I think that there are so many examples of things that have really worked for people, and to the extent that we can keep people involved.

I don't care if it's seven, right?

Or I I actually I would prefer it to be seven because we know we'd get the involvement that we're after here.

And you're right, there are a few people who do all the work, and that's probably the way it is anywhere.

But if you limit it to seven, you're more likely to get work from all seven.

So I think that's a very good idea.

Whether it's the town board, which I think is another way to expose all of this to our citizens, uh, or it's the uh you know, we keep the CDAC and we we do something as you've suggested, Mr.

Chair.

Thank you.

Any other comments related to this?

If not, just to encapsulate what I heard.

Um, we're going to bring back, and hopefully, in two weeks' time, we can bring back an agenda item.

I think this has been well thought out already.

Not sure who to look at, but in two weeks' time, we can bring back an agenda item that encapsulates the discussion today, which would limit the size to seven represented by each member of this board.

Uh there would be a prioritization for Clark County projects.

There would be a requirement for citizen participation, which would be in the form of those seven appointees.

Uh, and there will be some language that expands on current CHF funding agreements, uh, maybe to include RPM already has existing language uh related to brand standards and and other things related.

We can probably bring that back uh for the board's consideration.

Um Chairman, I just wanted to add one piece.

Um I think it was during COVID.

I actually still have it in my office.

One of the things we discussed, because kind of Commissioner Kirkpatrick's comments, there's so many things we fund contractually, and uh you had done kind of a mock-up of uh kind of a brand powered by Clark County, whether it's a sticker, whether it's any of those pieces, some type of requirement in the contract contract, which just displays that even outside of the brand.

You know, there's there's some ways we can go about that.

So we'll we'll brainstorm some ideas too.

I stole it from your office a couple days ago and gave it to me.

Okay, but I well, I'm gonna just say it should be on every project that we do, right?

Every, not just this.

Um, but I just want to make sure that you're including in there some guidance on the entire budget so that we see before um when we get the grant, so we see what the whole enchilada is before we give a piece away.

So okay.

Any further direction needed, Kevin?

No, thank you.

Very good, thank you.

Item 77 Commissioner's items to discuss the removal of a pedestrian trail generally located between Sand Hill Road and Boulder Highway along the I-11 alignment and take any action as deemed appropriate.

Good afternoon.

Could you use the handheld?

This Dennis Cedaburg, Clark County Public Works.

Um this is a request from Commissioner Siegerbloom to remove a portion of the trail that parallels I-11 between Charleston and Tropicana.

Uh this map that I have here, you have Charleston to the right, and you have Tropicana to the left.

Uh the dashed line indicates where the trail is on street.

The solid line indicates where the trail is uh within the two fifty or the I-11 right-of-way.

Uh, as you can see, it starts on Sand Hill Road, Sahara goes to a paved trail to Trop to Boulder Highway, then goes to on street, picks up on the east side of I-11 down to Twain, crosses back over to the west side, runs by Chaparral High School to Flamingo.

Then it's on street through this subdivision along Lamb Boulevard, and in a small portion over here, ties in the Tropicana.

The portion that we're seeking input on is a request to remove the portion between Sahara and Boulder Highway here.

It's adjacent to the new subdivision that's just gone along Boulder Highway at this location.

Thank you, Commissioner Sagerblum.

Yes.

But unfortunately, right now it's just become homeless camps.

And what we do is we go out, we give them notice, we offer services, but if they won't take them, we have to have them removed.

And honestly, they call it a cleaning week.

So we move them and we clean it up, and then they go around the corner, and literally within a day or less, they're back.

A lot of this is borders the freeway, so the uh N DOT has one side on the fence.

We have the other side.

We've worked with NDOT to try to coordinate the two, but a lot of times I just jump the fence and we we can't touch them.

So anyway, I hate to be so graphic and negative, but the truth is I think we need to maybe start with this piece and see what if we can make a difference.

Um because it's honestly it's not being used as a trail.

And we are bringing residents, residential communities into this neighborhood, so we are providing more services and with people there.

Uh I think a lot of things that we overlooked in the past, we're starting to see the see it more closely.

So a lot of these neighborhoods have requested this too.

Very good.

It looks like you have unanimous support.

Thank you, Dennis.

Thank you.

That was our final item.

So we will now move to the final time set aside for public comment.

Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward at this time, state your name for the record.

You may speak for up to three minutes.

Hello, my name is Shoshana.

I'm a resident.

I'm here once again to urge the commissioners to support the constitution and the separation of religion from government by eliminating prayer from our county commission meetings.

The smart decision is to retire the invocations entirely, just like 70% of the cities and counties in Nevada do not bring any religion or praying into their public meetings.

As I've stated previously, this building and workplace should not be used as a house of worship when there are thousands of tax exempt churches, synagogues, and temples in the area to choose from.

But since the Bible, right here, is the source of the prayers at these meetings.

I would like to point out a few interesting things that most people probably don't know.

Christianity and Islam are based on Judaism.

Um it was written for the Jewish people only, but it later on it was plagiarized and became someone else's religion, and then changed the narrative uh completely as a result.

Biblical scholars don't know who wrote the scriptures in the Bible, and there were absolutely no witnesses to any of it, because it was because it was all written years after the characters in it were already deceased.

Your Bible thinks the earth is 6,000 years old, but a thing called science determined that the earth is 4.5 billion years old.

The Ten Commandments were written specifically for the Jewish people and no one else.

And actually, there are 613 commandments.

In the Hebrew text, her name was actually Miriam, and the Hebrew text described her as I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly, Alma, which means a young woman.

She was a young woman, but after mistranslation, mistranslation, and so on and so forth, and the obsession with virgins by the writers of this, whoever they were, it was which is pretty disgusting.

They incorrect correctly labeled Mary as a virgin.

His two Jewish dads, yes, God is Jewish, who all lived by the customs of Judaism and who hung out with his 12 Jewish buddies, who was later murdered as a Jew by the Romans, and then the Greek writers who wrote the New Testament decided to convert a dead Jewish guy into a Christian.

Truth, please look it up.

It's absolutely true.

So now do you see why the source of the invocations is something that really doesn't belong here?

Again, please retire the invocations and keep things simple.

Keep all religions out of these meetings.

The people elected you to govern the county, not provide a forum for personal religious beliefs.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Oh hello again.

Thank you all and chair.

Thank you for the time here.

Um Eric King, longtime resident here.

Uh wanted to touch on a couple of items.

Um I want to thank again Commissioner Kirkpatrick for voicing her fandom of trees being more a part of uh the Las Vegas landscape.

Uh we need a whole bunch more advocacy for that for us to weather the storms of heat that uh seem to be coming wave after wave to us.

I also like to thank Commissioner Jones for your uh advocation uh for advocating for uh economic diversity and uh try to do that.

I know we're all championing that as well.

Um echo some of my recent comments and and communications with government, and I'm I'm really thrilled to hear from leadership uh that we are grateful to have.

One other item uh happened uh I'm bringing it up now because uh recent occurrence just shortly after I was here last time.

Um I was uh crossing a sidewalk.

I was about to cross a sidewalk, and I had some pressure coming from somebody I didn't expect.

And um it was just just outside the building here.

Uh and so what occurred, and I wanted to just touch on it, is that there is some construction as you all you well know along Bonneville and uh to cross that I could not get through in my wheelchair the uh yellow tape that was blocking off the signal for the crosswalk signal to then button be pushed and needed to get where I was going, and I need to get across the street, and so not one but two corners at that time were preventing me from because there was no curb there to safely get to the buttons, understandably with the construction.

So I wanted to just advocate for a moment here for consideration.

I don't know if it'll be public works or whoever else, um, but uh to have a brought in a some uh remedy for that, which hopefully would be uh something like a mobile traffic light and street crosswalk signal.

I think I've seen those somewhere in town before that they place, so I'm almost out of time here, but I'd also like to bring full circle the economic development and the trees advocacy back into the equation of what I began uh a robust plea for with our urban heat island effect and ongoing conversation that I certainly look forward to carrying forward to great results and outcomes.

And I thank you again for your leadership.

Have a great day.

Thank you.

And I believe that intersections in the city of Las Vegas jurisdiction.

Uh I think they meet tomorrow in public forum.

Good morning, afternoon.

Hi, I'm back.

I'm glad I stayed.

I watched the video from the LVC VA, and it was such a beautiful reminder of how proud we all should be about the city.

It was also a reminder how great we are at taking care of people who aren't from here, who are visiting here and leaving.

We care so dearly about their experience and the people who live here.

We struggle desperately to find the right decisions and education and health care.

Um a lot of things occurred to me as I sat here for three plus hours.

This is this is unbearable, guys.

I appreciate all that you do, is that we have something in common.

Um I took a few notes.

Um we are all chained to UMC.

You pay their bills with limited knowledge and oversight, and the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine and the NHBC, which is my babies.

Um, we inherit their self-serving agreements.

This is by design, and frankly, I'm so thrilled that we have all figured it out.

For those of you who don't know, I um I'm a CPA.

Um, I'm a I'm a business person first, and the one thing I was missing when I knew that the future of giving away billions of dollars was the politics behind it.

So I worked for Bob Broadbent for five years, and he taught me how to play a beautiful game of chess.

And what occurred to me a year ago was I wasn't playing it, I was getting played.

And I watched three things happen.

Uh well, two things happen, one of which you stopped.

But the first one was about a year ago when we watched uh UMC circumvent UNLV on the residencies.

They no longer needed to work with them, they could work around them.

And that was like, whoa, wait a minute.

That was a chess game I didn't see coming.

And I kept saying to UNLV, hey, keep your eye on this, um, and it didn't happen.

The second move that they made was this agreement that we have fixed.

Um, it's not perfect, it's far from it, but it is better.

Um, I want to make you aware of what I believe to be the third move.

I believe the third move is that UMC continues to deteriorate UNLV to a point where they are literally going to take the practice plan.

Now, for those of you who know what that means, it basically means UNLV School of Medicine, the Kirk or Corian School of Medicine will be a shell.

It will literally serve UMC and only UMC, which brings me to what you mentioned earlier, which was the committee.

This committee needs to be born here.

It can't be something we just sit around and hope someone's gonna show up.

I'll tell you who's not gonna show up, UMC.

I'll tell you who's not going to participate with goodwill.

It's UMC.

It has to be something we insist upon as county commissioners that we sit in a room, we work together, and we come back to you with a plan.

We've studied it.

It's not that we haven't studied it, we've studied it.

We have myriad of studies that say here are the categories you need.

And then UMC hijacks.

They hijack the money, they hijack the residency, and they hijack the future of medicine in southern Nevada.

So I implore you with with your beautiful presentation of this is what we need.

You couldn't have me at hello any more than you do.

So I would implore that we come up with a better idea than just saying we're gonna do it.

We have to insist upon it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

My name's My name's Al Rojas.

I live in here in Sunrise Manor.

Just very briefly, uh, I've been doing some research on hosting the Olympics here in uh Las Vegas, and it looks like we do have the infrastructure or we will have it.

And I'm just asking that maybe we do an exploratory committee on uh what it would take to host the Olympics.

Maybe 2040, but uh let's not forget now would be a good time to start.

And um just doing some research.

We'll probably bring in more sports for moving in the sports direction.

We just saw that we're gonna be having the um uh women's uh gold medalists.

So something to look into.

And if if you guys do start the exploratory committee, this administration or this uh commission uh group will go down on record as the people who saw who had the foresight to host the Olympics here in Las Vegas.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

My name is Aran Ra.

I'm a member of the Satanic Temple, which believes in separation of church and state, and does not believe that a government building should be used as a place of worship.

The Satanic Temple is an atheistic religion of ethics and does not believe in a literal Satan, demons, and afterlife, nor the supernatural.

Instead, Satan is used as a metaphor representing critical thinking, autonomy, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Satan serves as a symbol of enlightenment, rational inquiry, and resistance to deception rather than evil.

Satan is merely a fictional character appropriated and modified to frighten you and your children to coerce belief in a particular God or version of God.

Without the element of fear as a weapon of coercion, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam would not exist.

Religious faiths often use fear as a means of manipulation of the masses.

Most religions condition you to be God-fearing, to live in fear of a mythological devil and live in fear of a mythical god.

Therefore, I ask you to sincerely question your religion and the evil acts promoted in the Bible that most believers have never even read.

Ask yourself, why am I believing this?

Why am I praying to a God that the scriptures describe as domineering, narcissistic, and fundamentally evil?

I ask that you reflect and critically evaluate your belief system.

Ask yourself whether all of this is really true.

Where's the evidence?

Ultimately, it must be established that personal religious faith does not belong in our government meetings, where you are here as representatives of the community and not as representatives of any religion.

Please support the separation of religion and government and remove all religious worship from these meetings.

End the invocations and continue to do the jobs you were elected to perform.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, commissioners.

Um Lynn.

I live at the 211 apartments just a few blocks away.

I'm sorry to keep everyone from lunch.

I'll keep this brief.

I'm here to ask the board to consider a AC repair ordinance, a clear standard for restoring air conditioning when it fails during extreme heat.

Clark County recorded 513 heat associated deaths in 2024.

And 284 heat associated deaths in 2025.

The Southern Nevada Health District's report shows heat associated deaths concentrated in the central lower income multifamily corridors of the valley, including the unincorporated townships governed by this board.

This year has started even hotter than either of the last two summers.

We hit 100 degrees in early May, weeks before summer officially starts.

Even without a forecast, summer is already here.

If I could uh I'll do it after uh I've the most important is the news story from July 2024.

This was uh from 8 News Now investigated a low-income apartment complex near Maryland and Desert Inn.

A mother with three children, one of them medically susceptible to seizures when he overheats, went four full weeks without air conditioning during record heat.

The neighbors unit went out on July 4th.

Management kept saying a part was on order.

Nevada already calls air conditioning an essential service.

The law requires the landlord to remedy a failure.

That law was on the books for every one of those four weeks.

The law exists, the enforcement doesn't.

The fix is not radical.

North Las Vegas has required rental cooling since 1995.

For 30 years, only one jurisdiction in this county has had a habitability standard.

Phoenix, Arizona sets an indoor maximum of 82 degrees.

So I'd like to ask the board to consider three things for a cooling repair ordinance.

One, a maximum indoor temperature standard, such as 82 degrees, the threshold both Phoenix and Los Angeles County use.

And two, mandatory interim relief, a portable unit or temporary lodging.

If a landlord can't restore cooling.

Thank you.

I'd be glad to finish your sentence, but I'd be glad to share a more in-depth memo with staff.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for yours.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Uh yes, sir, Alan Snell, Clark County resident.

It was really instructive to hear uh your public works director's presentation uh on the complete streets report.

And I was really happy to see the before and after photos, which are very explicit in how you can improve the safety and welfare of people using your roads.

He showed several examples of roads that were really not very well done.

And then after the complete streets treatment, you saw the buffered bike lanes.

You saw very specific safety measures taken that will save lives.

I can't stress this enough.

Last year you had four Clark County school district kids killed walking or biking to or from school.

That's a crisis situation that has to be dealt with.

Complete streets is one of the tools that you can use to help that.

That's really important.

Something else I need to point out to you.

An outside organization called People for Bikes.

There's two national groups, People for Bikes and the League of American Bicyclists.

People for bikes looked at your infrastructure for bicycling and Las Vegas, the Las Vegas area.

You came in at a 29% at the 29 percentile.

That's not good.

And the pro the issue is that they're looking at your network.

They're looking at your roots all around the Las Vegas metro area.

Um before he left, and I really appreciate the time he gave me to uh to talk about uh the report.

And we talked about really the biggest problem is the gaps between the safe sections of your roads.

I appreciate the fact that you guys are taking action to try to improve a really a situation that you guys inherited.

For decades, Clark County, we have to be honest, basically built roads like highways highways with traffic lights, and now you're making you're making progress.

I highlighted some of Justin's work earlier uh today.

This is great stuff.

I really implore you to number one work with last the city to form some kind of overall bicycle walker kind of plan where you guys are now integrated.

You have a banner and you have uh specific emphasis on improving these things.

This is a life or death issue.

This isn't about recreational bicyclists having a good time around the neighborhood.

You will save lives.

I guarantee you that you will save lives by improving your biking and walking infrastructure.

I can't stress that enough.

I spent six years of my life working on this year.

I quit journalism to work on this.

Please make this your one of your top priorities.

Thank you.

Anyone else wishing to speak?

Seeing none, I will close the public comment and recess until tomorrow at 9 a.m.

We'll see you there.
