Good morning.

This is the recommending committee for January fifth, two thousand twenty-six.

Happy New Year.

And we are officially called the order, and I will assume we are in compliance with the open meeting law.

Yes, we are.

Thank you so much.

Item number three is public comment.

Comment during this portion of the agenda must be limited to matters on the agenda for action.

If you wish to be heard, please come forward and state your name for the record.

Hearing and seeing none, we'll close the public comment period.

Item number four is for possible action to approve the final minutes by reference to the November 17th, 2025 recommending committee.

I'll entertain the motion.

And that item passes.

Moving on to item number five, bill number 2025-41 for possible action amends LVMC six point zero four point one five five and six point six nine point zero one zero to update the definitions of the business licensing categories, transportation network company and reflexology respectively to align with state law proposed by our community development director, Seth Floyd.

And then for um if I can flip the page here.

Are there any other questions up here?

There is a question, please.

Thank you, Ms.

MPT.

Um, Mr.

Floyd, so transportation network company.

Does that encapsulate even the um autonomous vehicles that are now being offered to drive?

Um we're seeing more and more, you know, the different types of driverless vehicles.

So I just wanted to kind of be clear for myself.

Are they encapsulated or do they have their own category?

And by TNC, is it strictly just meaning then the Uber, the Lyfts?

Um, I'm just trying to get some clarity for us as we navigate the different transport modes of transportation in our city.

Good morning, uh Mayor Pro Tem uh through you, uh, Councilwoman.

Uh no, this one will not include include those ones.

We do have another um ordinance that's we're drafting to include the autonomous uh autonomous vehicles and um some of the uh digital platforms that are doing delivery services and those kinds of things.

So this is gonna be more the Uber and the left.

Okay, so then the zooks and the VAs and those then are in a separate category from TNCs.

Okay, I just slide.

It does.

They just texted me.

It does include the um the autonomous vehicles, but the other one's gonna have more clarifying language in it.

Um so yes, the state did add this to it, so um, so it will include it.

I apologize.

And then TNCs are different from taxis too, correct?

Correct.

Okay.

All right.

And Seth Floor, I'll just read the since it's pretty short.

The definition as it currently stands in state law says that a transportation network company or company means an entity that uses a digital network or software application service to connect a passenger to a driver or monitored autonomous vehicle provider who can provide transportation services to the passenger.

And what the bill does mean is uh because we're tying our definition now to state law.

If there is ever a state law change to either add something, take something away, or clarify, we will always track with whatever state law is, so it'll keep us consistent without having to come back every time and do a new a new bill.

Okay, thank you.

That was a great question because I didn't think about it.

So smart.

Any other questions?

This is a public hearing.

If anybody would like to comment hearing and seeing none, I'll entertain a motion.

I move to approve.

There's a motion, please vote.

And post item, I believe passes.

Yep, there it is.

And we'll be heard.

Let's see, I'll do that at the end.

The item number six is bill number 2025-42 for possible action amends LVMC 6.02.150 to clarify the requirement that separate license or permits are needed for each assumed or fictitious business name that is associated with the business.

This is proposed by Seth Floyd, our director of community development.

Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem.

And I'm actually going to turn this one over to Darcy to uh explain what we're doing with this one.

Hi, Darcy.

I'd love by heard for the record.

Um, yeah, so this one also is just clarifying language.

Um, we do require that every business um that has a fictitious name have a business license.

It was already in code.

This is just making it cleaner because people use the names fictitious firm name and doing business as, so we added that in there so that it was very clear that each one would require a business license.

Thank you.

This is a public hearing for anybody who would like to comment.

Hearing and seeing none, we'll close the public comment period.

Are there any questions up here?

Hearing and seeing none, we'll entertain a motion.

There's a motion to approve, please vote.

And post, and that item passes.

Moving on to item number seven, bill number 2025-43 for possible action updates the description of certain city ward boundaries, wards two, three, four, five, and six to reflect precinct number adjustments by the Clark County election department.

This is proposed by our city clerk, uh, Miss Holmes.

And I'm gonna take this one.

Um this is uh deputy city attorney Jillian Block Sederblum for the record.

Um, this is just a housekeeping item.

The Clark County Election Department periodically reviews and updates its list of election precincts, um including the precincts that form the basis of the descriptions of the ward boundaries within the city of Las Vegas.

Um so periodically, the election department will combine precincts or create new precincts based on population changes.

Uh these changes won't necessarily affect each ward in every cycle, and they're not a change in the ward boundaries, but are just a change in the way the precincts are described.

Very good, thank you.

This chair, just a perfunctory question.

How often does this happen?

Uh this is Jillian Black Sickleboom.

I believe it happens every two years uh prior um in the year prior to the next uh election.

Yeah, so they they change the fiddle with the precincts a little bit, and then we have to codify it in the city.

Yes, that's right.

Okay.

Seems clean.

Ms.

Egerboom, can I ask another question?

May I?

Um, what triggers, I guess, the adjustments for a precinct within the wards.

Is this something more driven by the elections department and how they're going to continue to offer voting sites and centers to our community, or is it more because I don't know.

It's the first time I guess that I sit on recommending and see it coming through.

Um so I just kind of was wondering what triggers the adjustment and the numbers of precincts within our wards.

I don't remember it coming through before, so that's why I'm kind of wondering what changed this round.

Um, what kinds of adjustments are we seeing within our city boundaries?

That um so anyways, I just kind of want some more background just from my own information.

Yeah, this is Jillian Block Sacred Bloom.

Um, these changes are based basically on population changes, like maybe annexation or you know, population shifts, or um, you know, maybe a precinct is removed from the list because it's no longer in use, but um, it's all just shifts within the boundaries that are already determined.

So it's basically like housekeeping for for population shifts.

I want to keep the Ms.

Lynn might know more.

This is a public hearing for anybody who would like to comment.

Hearing and seeing none, we'll close the public comment period and I'll entertain a motion unless there are other questions.

Move to approve agenda item seven.

There's a motion to approve, please vote.

In post.

And that item passes.

Moving on to item number eight, bill number 2025-44 for possible action and ordinance authorizing the issuance by the city of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Various proposed various per sorry, various purpose revenue bonds series 2026 A tax exempt and the City of Las Vegas, Nevada, various purpose revenue bonds series 2026 B taxable for the purpose of financing building projects.

This is proposed by our chief financial officer, Miss Helsey, who's at the mic.

Good morning.

Susan Helsley for the record.

Yes, the uh the title's fairly self-explanatory.

We are going to we'd like to move forward with issuing about 90 million dollars in bonds.

It's written this way because we're not sure if they're going to be all tax exempt or some taxable, so it's written this way.

We're hoping they're all tax exempt, but until we get final wording from our our bond council, we won't know.

We expect to issue either late February or early January.

Thank you very much.

And this is a public hearing for anybody who would like to comment.

Hearing and seeing none, are there any questions up here?

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Um Ms.

Helsley, is this for the park bonds that we discussed early on?

Uh through you, Susan Heltzley, uh CFO.

These are not the park bonds.

This is the 90 million dollar revenue bond that we're reimbursing ourselves for them for um civic plaza across the street.

Parks bonds will come a little bit later.

Okay.

Thank you for the clarification.

There are no other questions.

I'll entertain a motion.
