Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Tuesday, August 12th, 2025 regular city council meeting.

We're gonna commence at five o'clock straight.

Um information.

We are pulling item 5.7 consideration and ratification of collective bargaining agreement for teamsters local 14 from 7125 to 630 28.

We will still uh keep the public comment open on that item if anybody wishes to comment.

Um now we're gonna go ahead and start with an invocation by Pastor Malachi Pahulu.

I'm gonna get your name right one of these times, Pastors.

Well, first of all, I would like to say thank you for letting me saying the prayer this evening.

Let us pray.

Thank you for bringing us together tonight.

We are thankful to our city and for all people who serve it.

We leave up our mayors, the city council, and all who worked to make a community better.

Give them wisdom to make good choices, kindness in how they lead and fairness in all they do.

Bless everyone here, guide our words, our thoughts, and our ex in so we can work together with respect and peace.

Help us to always seek what is best for all the people in our city.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

Thank you, Pastor.

Thank you.

Yes, could you all please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance?

Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

One nation, yes.

And I don't know if any of you can hear it, but somebody's alarm is going off outside.

So somebody's car alarm.

So if you think that's yours, you might want to go check on it.

If you're not worried, I'm not worried.

Um with that, we have a couple of presentations.

First, we're gonna have Brian Wurston.

He's gonna do a presentation to We Care for Animals.

About um seven times a year.

We have golf tournaments at the Palms Golf Course where we raise funds for different uh entities, and this time we decided to raise um funds for the week care for animals, and we are going to give a check for 1400 to we care for animals.

And that's from uh the Palms Golf Course from Skeet Gaming and from the golfers of the Palms Golf Course.

So anyway, thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks, Bri.

Now I'd like to uh welcome Kenny Huff to the mic for a presentation from Eagles Landing.

For the record, um Kenny Huff from Eagles Landing.

Uh we recently held the fifth annual first responders golf tournament, June 21st at Conestoga Golf Club.

I want to thank the mayor and the council for giving me this opportunity to present these two checks to the police department and fire search and rescue.

Uh I also want to give thanks to our committee.

Mark Wetzel, Spencer Lewis, Chris Rowley, Brian Wurston, Zuki, Jim Frump, and last but not least, my wife Donna Huff.

We had two mega sponsors, the City of Mesquite and also Casablanca.

Um I'm gonna thank uh Martin Green and Nancy Hewitt for their help in this.

They helped me out with uh getting these thousand dollar sponsors, which is really good.

Um we had 10 mini sponsors, Crown and Annie Black had two holes each.

Beltron, T-Mobile, Anytime Towing, Mad Landscaping, Reliance Connects, Grease Monkey, Jim Frump Family, and Wendy's.

This year we had 14 teams participate.

It was the same as last year.

Um but the the tournament went very well, it was just longer than what we had anticipated, and so we're gonna make some changes next year to speed it up.

Um we had five thousand dollar donations last year that we did not have this year, so that kind of decreased the amount that we're gonna give.

But uh all in all, it was a good good experience for for everybody.

This year we this is the first year we had a competition between the police and fire departments four on four for bragging rights.

So depending on who you talk to, it was a squeaker or as a big win.

Uh but the police department came out on top.

Um so it's my privilege and honor to present five thousand five hundred dollars to each department.

I see, get your guys up here.

Come on.

And Sean, you're heavy enough.

You guys can back up.

You guys step up a whole bit.

Yeah, you two.

Step up in front, you fill in behind him.

And that'll make you that'll make you get in between so I can see your face.

Yeah, yeah.

Ready?

So in the five years of this event, we have given back fifty-five thousand dollars to these two departments.

Thank you.

Thank you, Kenny.

And with that, we will go ahead and open up the opening public comment.

You have three minutes.

Good evening, Mayor Whipple, members of City Council, and the residents of Mesquite.

My name is Debbie Benham, and I'm here to speak about the parade of lights.

This year's parade is on Thursday, December the 4th at 5 30 p.m.

The parade starts at the LDS Church parking lot, 100 Arrowhead Lane, and goes down Mesquite Boulevard.

It ends at City Hall.

Hot chocolate and cookies will be served at City Hall compliments of the Eureka Casino.

Sandra and Mrs.

Claus will be available for photos by the Christmas tree after the parade.

Applications for the parade will be sent out to all previous participants this week.

There will be applications available in the lobby of City Hall.

If anyone wants more information on the parade or the community food drive, please call me at 7024 2038.

Thank you, and I hope to see you at the parade.

As of today, we have taken over 5,308 pounds of food.

Thank you, Debbie.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

And my wife and I would really love to get started on our renovation of our cinema building for an event and family fund center.

However, the City of Mesquite continues to allow a nightclub just 20 feet away from our cinema building to continue to operate unlawfully.

Unlawfully without their own parking.

And we can't start a renovation until we know we have full use of our parking.

It's ours.

We own it.

And code enforcer, Mr.

Simon Kim, are very clear.

985G clearly states the parking requirements.

A nightclub of 4,700 square feet is required to have a minimum of 53 parking spaces.

They have three.

And shouting out, go home.

Go back to California, Princess.

They have gang stalked us on our own private property.

My wife is afraid to be on her own property.

They have tormented us in hopes to drive us out of the center and out of the town.

City attorney, Mr.

Adam Anderson met with my wife and our properties director, Raylane Schiffano and myself right after one of the city council meetings.

We shared at that time more of what we have been put through.

At one point, he responded with, I quote, and I quote, how long is someone willing to put up with this before they just give up and leave?

Miss Schiffano quickly replied with, and I quote her, we shouldn't have to.

So I don't know where you're going with that, but then sit well.

But here we wait for the city attorney as well as the code enforcer, Mr.

Simon Kim.

Thank you.

Your time is up.

To actually do their job and enforce their codes.

First of all, I'm really upset that I wasn't invited to the golf tournaments because I would have loved to play in those.

So I'm here today because public safety isn't optional.

Laws only protect us if they're enforced for everyone.

Oh, I'm sorry, Rayleigh Schiffano for the record.

I think she's want to make sure.

Um, MV Night Club is above the law.

It is excused from the municipal codes, and we are here again to ask why and demand that the nightclub is ordered to become compliant with the mandatory city codes.

When it comes to MV Nightclub, the city has looked the other way.

The nightclub doesn't have any parking except three handicapped spots, so they use Nordic's parking.

They require us to pay the insurance, they require us to pay the maintenance.

We pay everything for the nightclub to use our parking lot.

The city planner, and I'm not sure if he's got it a law degree, but he's enforcing the covenants.

The city planner admitted in writing that the city can't enforce HOA covenants, but then said he wouldn't enforce the parking of the fire lane until a private HOA dispute was resolved.

Think about that.

They took public safety laws meant to protect you and me and tied them to a private HOA fight they have no authority over.

That's like the police officer telling you they won't enforce the speed limit until you and your neighbor settle a fence agreement.

Simon Kins admits he has no authority to enforce the covenants, yet he does so.

Um the city planner is um also not mentioning that he is keeps requoting the reciprocal easements that we have.

So if you want to.

This is our reciprocal easements that were recorded in 2003.

Now we have a final map that amends this map that you're gonna see.

So this is just the exhibit that's from our C C and Rs.

Here's the map in our original 2003 C C and Rs.

That's here.

This is the Red Hills Commercial Center.

This is the map.

This map you'll notice isn't recorded because the HOA put in a different map in our covenants than to what's recorded with the city or with the county.

But if we look at this map, you'll see the highlighted areas.

The highlighted areas are the easement areas that were planned on the site plan to be there.

This parking lot doesn't even exist anymore.

This uh this building is completely covering this whole parking lot.

There's a building that sits over here.

Oh, sorry, backwards, over here now.

Um, and then this property has been subdivided.

Um, so this is 4D.

See this I-15 sign?

That's 4D.

It's not part of the easements at all.

They've never were recorded.

Even if it was annexed in, it wasn't part of the easements, and they can't add easements to it later.

So we're just asking that the city enforce the parking code and the fire lane codes.

Behind this building, there's no fire lanes.

In fact, the whole property, I don't know how they're getting certificate of occupancy.

There's no fire lanes marked in this entire complex.

And Mr.

Kim says there's a waiver on file, and we can't find it.

So we've subpoenaed the city and we ask for those documents again.

That is proving that they have a waiver for parking.

If Mr.

Kim wants this map so he can say it, I will be happy to share it with him.

So I think it's in our covenants.

But that was amended in 2007 with the final map.

Thank you.

Thank you, Raylan.

My name is Erica Nicholas, and um I good evening, Mr.

Mayor and Council members.

I'm here today to address the city attorney's email response to my husband regarding vehicles blocking the fire lanes directly outside the nightclub.

It's back exit door.

The city attorney, not you, Mr.

Anderson, the previous one, relayed that the fire chief had assured him that parking in this fire lane would have no material effect on the department's ability to fight a fire.

And this is the letter.

Well, part of it.

First, with regards to the fire department, I've received assurance from the fire chief that parking in the fire lane would have no material effect on the department's ability to fight a fire.

Their equipment would be able to address any fire emergency, regardless to any vehicle parked in the fire lane.

Those vehicles might be damaged in the process, but the fire department is equipped to handle it.

I hope this will provide some assurance.

It actually didn't.

With respect, this is truly troubling.

Fire lanes are not just for firefighters' access, they are a lifeline for evacuation.

In a nightclub setting, especially when operating or at near capacity, a fire lane near an exit must remain clear so that patrons can escape quickly, and so emergency medical crews can reach those in need without delay.

Alcohol impairs judgment.

Panic sets in when fires break out.

People push past um towards exits, some may spill into the fire lane.

The others may still be inside or even sitting in those parked vehicles every second counts.

And I ask you, how will the fire department ensure that no one is in or between those vehicles before before they start pushing them out of their way?

To push cars in alleys in fire lanes out of the way when there is a fire doesn't make any sense.

And once those vehicles are pushed, where will they go?

Into another crowd against the building, into a path of people trying to flee.

The notion that this situation poses no material effect, ignores these very real and foreseeable dangers.

City officials are entrusted with positions of great responsibility to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

That responsibility does not allow for arbitrary or selective enforcement of life safety codes.

Fire codes are written in blood.

Every line exists because someone died when it wasn't followed.

They are not suggestions.

Allowing the sense of dangerous message that our city is willing to look the other way at clear fire code violations until after disaster strikes.

If God forbids there is an incident, the city will not just face public outrage, but it will face legal and moral responsibility for knowingly permitting these violations.

That's it.

And if anybody wants um copies of what can happen.

I've been a resident of Mesquite since 2006.

And the reason I'm here tonight is the senior center was an issue last meeting where there were questions questions asked about what they do, what they provide for the community, and you know how many people they serve.

So I was able to get the numbers for you.

Delicious homemade meals that you know for the cost are just absolutely wonderful.

They actually provide right now, their numbers are up to about pretty good for the summertime.

About 250 people every day for the shut ins on the meals on wheels programs, which is amazing.

And they also serve the detention center.

The meals over there, they say about you know 15 meals a day that they provide over there.

And it wasn't until recently that I became a senior and started going there for meals.

I religiously went there for the community Thanksgiving meals that they provide the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and it's always been great to see people from the week before or the year before and the year before and you know, catch up.

So what that provides for the community is not only just meals, but they provide um physical therapy, they've got all types of stuff that they do, you know, different programs every day of the week for um shut ins and people um disabled people and exercise programs and therapy programs, and it's a place for retired people to go and see their friends and socialize and visit.

So it's it's a wonderful place, well worth it.

And I would like to see the city maybe think about some way they could get the word out, and I think a lot more people would go if they knew about it, you know.

So I think it needs to be it needs to be praised and um really um people need to know about it.

And what I have done is I don't think I have enough for everybody, but I printed up um eight or nine newsletters for everybody to look through.

It's got great information, it's got the monthly menu, and as far as I know, the the meals have to be approved by the government like two months in advance.

So their menu is actually planned, you know, a lot of planning, a couple months in advance.

Um they do a wonderful job and they do a great service to the community, and I wish that they would get more support and more people would know about them because they're wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

So I'll leave these and please everybody that can get one, please take a look and go through them.

Bless you all.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jeff.

Mayor, Council, this is I'm West Boger, and this is not something I've written out to spend your time with, so that's a good good thing.

Um, this is rather lengthy, but I just wanted to um just talk about you know, in Henderson, there was a woman, Amanda Schwartz, who spoke out against the firing of their police chief there, Holly Chadwick.

And I thought, man, how can that happen?

Now I know why.

It can definitely happen.

Jeffrey Reynolds, 37-year police veteran, retired, was fired because he'd come up here and speak his mind.

I was terminated as a f as a police volunteer, six years on the job helping the kids at Virgin Valley Elementary for coming up here and speaking.

I've spoken to who know what they've done is wrong, unethical.

It's also a violation of the First Amendment and 14th Amendment, according to her lawsuit, Amanda Swartz against the city of Henderson.

I'm not here for that.

I'm here going forward to help these parents and these kids who are collateral damaged because of those guys.

Not Rolly, by the way, Captain Rolly is amazing.

I'm here to help them.

That's why I volunteered in the first place.

So you can go after me all you want, but when you start putting these kids in the middle of it, that's bull, and they know it.

The way the council can support this program that the kids really love, the staff really love.

The parents love seeing it too.

They love seeing the fist bumps and interactions with the kids and knowing their names.

The way the council can help is if the school decides to do it again, the CAB grant should be used and could be used for equipment such as the vests and the stop sign and a couple of cones.

And that's all we need from the city of Mesquite, should Virgin Valley decide to continue.

And I again appreciate you guys' support.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Wes.

Okay, how you doing?

Good.

Mike, how's it going?

Good man.

Ready.

McCoy Chesley, I'm the former police chief here for Mesquite.

Um, although sometimes I'm not proud of that, especially with what's been going on lately.

In December 14th, 2012, 20 defenseless children were murdered in their first grade class at Sandy Hook.

Defenseless children.

We all as a nation mourned the loss of those kids 10 days before Christmas with their parents.

It was devastating if you think back and remember that, like our first big attack on defenseless children.

I was uh a sergeant, I was a new new father, and I just thought this is absolutely terrible.

This shouldn't happen.

But then I looked around the police department in the city, and we have SROs at the high school, SROs at the middle school, but nothing at the elementary.

I knew something had to be done in 2019 when I was promoted to police chief.

We acted on it immediately.

I called one of the smartest people I knew, Wes Boger, and said, What can we do to make some kind of defense for these children at the elementary school?

And we don't have any money.

And the idea was to get parents, retired police officers, veterans, military veterans, and be at least a line of defense, someone to notify the police or get in the way of someone trying to shoot our children.

And so that's what happened.

And Wes took the bull by the horns.

He recorded recruited Larry Waite and a veteran and then a school resource officer retired, Jeff Reynolds, and they did a phenomenal job.

Not only did they provide service of protection to our elementary children, but they also were their friends.

They provided charity and kindness to those kids.

It's something those kids look forward to every day, is seeing those folks.

But most importantly, and as a police chief when I was, what was important to me is that those guys without a weapon would lay their lives on the line for those children without even thinking about it.

And that was the goal.

Those three guys are heroes.

They should be congratulated for the work that they've done the past six years instead of kicked out the door for retaliation.

It's disgusting.

And Mesquite should not be proud of that.

The police department, the police administration, it's not just one person that makes the decision.

Tracy Fells is the interim chief, but the whole Quin Averett, Jordan Bundy, they help make those decisions all along the way.

So it's not just on Tracy, this poor decision, it's on all of them.

It's disgusting.

And it's it's happening throughout the department.

I've been contacted by multiple officers who feel like if they don't get in line with exactly what they want, then they're gonna they are being targeted and they will be terminated.

It's a major issue.

Something has to be done, and like I said, it's a group effort.

The decision was made as a group, and I I want to ask you guys what did the children do to deserve this?

What did the children do to not be protected?

I don't care if you high hire 50 officers, we could still use three volunteers that would put their lives on the line.

That's it.

Thank you, McCoy.

My name's Art Pareda.

I've been here for 26 years.

Uh good afternoon, honorable mayor and city council.

Yesterday, I had a surprise come to me.

I hadn't been out to the dump for quite a while.

And on the way out there, I asked this question because I absolutely don't know.

As I was approaching the dump, I looked to the south, and I seen a large structural complex of prefabs.

And there was approximately a hundred cars parked out there.

I went to drive in, but I was cautious and I said no.

And just as I was gonna go that way, because it's around, it sits in the middle of all these solar panels, and my question is can you enlighten me or us exactly what that is or what's the purpose of it?

It appears that they were having some type of a meeting because just at the time I stopped there, I had approximately a hundred cars.

Excuse, excuse my expression, drive out of there like a bat out of hell.

My question to you is what is the purpose of those prefab buildings?

It looks like they were having a meeting.

Is it associated with ice?

Immigration.

I'm asking because I do not know.

And if you haven't no idea what it is, this is in your backyard.

So if you could please enlighten me and us exactly what that is and what's taking place.

Thank you.

Thank you, Art.

Um, that is a solar farm.

Um it's in Lincoln County.

Um, so we don't have a lot of control over them putting it there.

Um, it's outside of our jurisdiction, it's in Lincoln County, but uh Lincoln County put it there, and it is a solar farm that will be feeding a couple of casinos in Vegas and something else, I don't remember, but they're just uh getting ready to finish completion of that.

So I don't know if they are finished, and that was their last day, or if they were kicking off for the day from work.

I don't know why there'd be that many cars there, but that is a solar farm.

That's the intent of that complex.

So if I may, I'm familiar with solar technology to some extent, but it doesn't take over a hundred people to monitor and work a solar panel, which is stagnant.

Correct.

And uh when it's completely done, they told us that there are only be one or two people that are there, and maybe not that all the time.

Six people there, so six people there.

Um, I think the amount of people you're seeing is they are just getting to the end of completion of that project.

So those are probably the construction workers that were building those buildings, putting up those solar panels, moving the dirt, whatever.

So I don't know if that was like I say the end of the day of their work, but when it's completed, which I think I don't know, Martin, do you remember when it was gonna very soon, if not already, then there will only be a handful of people out there after that, so it won't be continued to be hundreds of people out there, but there have been, you know, that are working out there, so if that makes sense, but my name is Jeff Reynolds.

I'm not here to bash the police department.

I think what just happened was wrong, and it was political that that happened.

Um I don't think that's right.

I miss the kids, I miss the parents, and I miss the teachers.

I would have given my life to those kids had it happened.

I carried a gun and I kept it in my car and I kept it on the parking lot, not in the parking lot on the street.

I told the chief, I said, if somebody comes in and starts shooting our kids, I said, I'm not going in there with a rock, I'll come back out on the street, which is legal, yeah, and I will go ahead and shoot the guy because the police department usually isn't gonna get there, it's it's all over time.

The police officers get there most of the time.

Um I don't like it.

I don't like a lot of the things that's been going on in the police department.

I'm not I'm not gonna get into the weeds with it, but it runs from the top all the way down to the bottom, and I think some of it's criminal, and if not, if the ethical is very wrong.

All right, thank you.

Thank you, Jeff.

Good evening, Mayor, Council.

As I told you before, I have a target on my back, and now it's got bigger.

I feel because I speak up against certain people.

Now they're retaliating against me.

And they don't get any lower than this, I'll tell you.

As you know, I'm a big supporter 9-11.

I lost a friend in 9-11, Dana Hannah, who came to Wall's company.

We made him an honorary member of our fire company.

I met his parents.

Last year I put on the 9-11 service.

I thought it went pretty well, didn't you?

Not according to the fire department.

I have never been banned from speaking at the 9-11.

I cannot even read my poem.

If that isn't retaliation, I don't know what is.

And isn't it ironic that they got targeted the same week as I got targeted?

What do you think?

What do you think?

You think it's right?

I support 9-11 the day from the day it happened.

That flag down there, I presented it to the city.

I gave you that flag.

That's how much I care about this city.

But to be treated the way I am now on the volunteers is outrageous.

It's disgraceful.

That's my honest opinion.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mike.

Ronald Shacklet.

Um, I could read this, but I would be over the three minutes.

So I'm just gonna recap real quick of some of the things that's been going on in our city of Musquite.

I've been sitting here pondering it over to about the last week or so.

Um lawsuit number one, Chief Chesley, defamation of character.

Um, you know, that's uh it's it's crazy what's going on in the courts, and it's crazy what we've been finding out about what's been going on with this lawsuit and what's been happening with the city and stuff.

Um, our city leaders continue continued the special meeting and ratified the decision to fire him.

Then next thing you know, the city gets fined $500 for contempt.

Not because of this lawyer, but the other one.

We all know who he was.

Uh lawsuit number two, wrongful termination.

Um, there you go.

I've got pages and pages of court documents I've been reading, and some of this stuff I read in there is pretty scary.

Some of the people that have been consulting and um talking with police officers when they're members of the city council and such, um, and then what have you firing may um Dickie?

Uh that was another black mark on our city.

Um, Karen Fielding, you know, voted no, and we're still waiting to hear her comments on why she voted that way.

Um, ex attorney.

Um, you know, um messed up so bad instead of firing him, right?

We let him retire before we fired him.

Three months pay, you know, he gets three months' severance pay, three months insurance.

Um same with our previous city manager.

Um, you know, instead of poor Patty Gallo, our attorney walks out Patty Gallimot's motion, and because she does not use the words with cause, we give him three months severance pay, three months insurance.

So um, we're selling property for 10 cents on the dollar in this community.

Why?

We need that money.

We can do a lot with that money.

Developers don't need the break on it on the land that much.

They're gonna make huge profits.

So you know, I won't go over the ethics committee thing, but um we're I will have uh the final word on that on September 6th, is what I'm told.

And like I say, you know more than me, then, right?

Uh, you know, we'll address it at that time and go from there.

So um, our city old city man, our attorney hires somebody for 80,000 to investigate Chesley, which is totally it can't be used, and it's not the proper procedures.

Um, and let's talk about a 400,000 dollar bathroom.

Well, you know, I don't think we're gonna talk about it.

It's a crappy situation.

So this is not how a small city should be run.

My final comment.

Yet it continues to keep happening.

Something new every week seems like that.

We all know there's corruption in DC, but this little community seems to have its fair share as well.

Time to stop and get the city back on track.

It's not the city.

I remember when I bought property eight years ago.

The city of Mesquite needs to get its title back as the best city to live in in Nevada.

So I think um you guys got some work cut out for you.

Thanks, Ron.

Daniel Miller.

I've stayed a night or two at the Eureka Hotel.

Um, I I I keep going.

I'm glad that these guys are here.

They come to get an award.

I've got an idea that everybody should like.

I've got a plan for a really good monument.

And I've even come up with the title, the banner of the monument.

This is something Quinn, you should really pay attention to.

That's a really good theme around here, isn't it, Jesse?

Um what is it to have integrity?

I keep looking at all the actions of you guys, and I think what is it to have integrity?

How does all this stuff keep happening?

Somebody does something bad, and instead of holding the guy accountable, we try to sweep it under the rug, and that just keeps building.

We don't want to believe, you know, our high school coach was doing bad stuff, or his kids doing bad stuff, or other people in the community are doing bad stuff, or our bishop is telling us to do one thing and we're gonna cover up, or our state president is doing what is it to have integrity?

For me, a definition of integrity is if my job is on the line, and I have a choice to do what is right and true and call bad actions bad actions.

I do it even if it costs me my job.

For example, let's say there's a victim's advocate who has victims come in.

Is it the job of victim's advocate to provide those services to all victims?

What happens if a victim may be someone who's one of our own?

Do those victims get the full advocate service?

What happens when a chief finds out about these kinds of actions and takes immediate action against it?

And shortly thereafter loses his job.

And I'm not saying that's the reason.

You guys don't even know what the reason is, right?

Has there ever actually been a reason given?

A legitimate reason.

How much of this stuff will you just keep sweeping on the rug, Jesse?

Do we go out and just spray bug spray?

Come in here, have us here for story time to read the agenda, or are we taking these things serious?

All of you are the boss of these two, not the other way around.

Thank you, Daniel.

It's all the building uh STEM members, not me.

So I just defer everything there.

Item 5.1.

Consideration of conditional use permit case number C UP-25-001, FFW Motorsports to operate a Power Sports ATV UTV, side by side, dirt bike repair shop at 260 North Sand Hill Boulevard in the commercial general zone CR2.

Simon?

Yeah, thank you.

Mayor and City Council.

Um I promise you that this will be it'll be better and more exciting than previous ones.

So the uh the site is located and it has a green belly grocery to the north and the old mill village to the east, and uh pharmacy to the south, and bulldock uh car wash to the west.

And that is the abandoned building, and uh applicant is trying to reuse it.

As you can see, it is surrounded by uh surrounded by the CR2, uh commercial general zone, and to the east, there is an MF3, uh multifamily high density zone is uh located right there.

This is a business plan of the applicant.

Uh the applicant wants to uh provide service and insulation work uh for the power sports units, ATV, UTV, dirt by dirt bike and motorcycles, etc.

Uh so they're gonna uh do the repair work by changing oils, belts and filters and so on.

Uh no units under repair will utilize any of the parking spaces outside, so it'll not be visible, and there'll be no waiting spaces inside uh because the uh customers will uh leave and draw up their vehicles right there so that it'll be fixed.

This is the uh site uh floor map.

Um I didn't do it.

It's a PIRCANS map.

So to the east, which is the uh upside, there is uh um multifamily homes, uh, old Mill Village and uh to the uh south and north.

Uh there is uh uh shop bay uh service work area, as you can see from the picture.

And uh in the front, you can see the vehicle vacant building right there.

Umstead reviewed through the uh uh review criteria and uh the that means the comprehensive plan.

Uh so it will provide the automobile repair and maintenance service at the Sierra 2 zone that require that demands uh multiple summit services, and uh it missed the zoning ordinance uh by going through the conditional use permit, and they require 16 parking spaces, they have a 19 parking spaces right now.

Uh unfortunately they have no landscaping, uh it is uh non-conforming property.

Uh they haven't had uh a landscaping area from the start, it's all paved.

Uh so um, and then uh it does not actually uh provide negative impact toward the uh neighboring area.

Um, and to the east, uh the old mill uh uh the old mill village.

Uh it is uh divided with the continuous fences, so there is no connection to it.

And as long as the vehicle, the repair vehicles uh contained within the building, there will be no issues of the noise and visible uh visual impacts.

Uh this is just what I said.

So uh so the applicant is basically proposing to occupy existing bacon commercial building, and trip generation has been already calculated beforehand, uh, earlier when that building was built.

So we don't need to recalculate calculate it.

Uh step recommends to uh recommends the city council uh to hold the public hearing and approve the conditional use permit.

Thank you.

Councilman Wandless.

Thank you for that.

Thank you for that presentation.

I think this is a great place for something just like that.

You have commercial all around it.

But in the future, as you do your presentations, perhaps Travis can help you with your drafting.

And just a thought.

Everything else you do is awesome, but he's really good at that.

Councilwoman.

I believe was uh beautiful too.

Councilwoman Fielding, did you have no I just want to say I stopped in there a few weeks ago before they were open, and I think it's a great location.

They do have the back where they can do maintenance and the garage door for open maintenance, so I think it's a great location as well.

Any other questions from council?

Okay, seeing none, I'm gonna go ahead and open up for public hearing.

Seeing no public step forward, I'm gonna close the public hearing.

And uh Councilwoman Fielding.

Thank you, Mayor.

I will um make a motion um to consider the conditional use permit.

Case number CUP 25-001.

Do I have a second?

Second.

We have a second call for the vote.

Parishai.

Galloway.

I got it.

Got it.

Motion passes.

Um 5.2 consideration of approval of a full liquor on sale license for Hampton Inn and Suites located at 1030 West Pioneer Boulevard.

Any questions from Council?

Simon, did you have report on it?

Actually, no.

It's on.

Now it works.

So yeah, I just prepared the graphic.

Um, usually I don't uh make a presentation for the liquor license, but uh I thought, well, let's show it uh because I don't have much of presentation opportunity today.

So uh the it is located right next to the Walmart, as you can see, and uh it is surrounded by the uh commercial uh and there is no problem at all.

And we have on sale legal license categories that is given to the places where they're gonna they're not gonna open sales to the outside customers, just the inside customers only, and uh we believe that this is the case.

So bar uh bar or around the area will only be open to guests uh of the hotel and and not to the general general public, and uh police department went through the background check and the issue the findings of suitability.

So step recommends city council approve the full equal on sale license for Hamptonians and shoes uh suits.

Thank you.

Thank you, Simon.

Any questions from council?

Uh seeing none, I'm gonna ahead and open that up for a public comment.

Honorable mayor and council.

I just have a question where can we get your name?

Oh, I'm sorry, Doris Crystal Lear.

Um, I just have a question that the general public can't use the bar.

Is that uh alcohol board um rule?

Or can you explain why that is if you go inside and if you uh the purchase it and consume it on site, that can be okay, but you cannot purchase it and bring it outside.

And I I think clarification is that they do have a little um store in there that it might be in the refrigerator, so there's not a bar at that location, it's just in the refrigerator, maybe beer or wine.

I think, like I've seen other hotels, I think is is what they're thinking about doing.

Uh for your information.

I haven't visited the hotel, so I don't have uh any information about the details.

So thank you.

Any other uh comment from the public?

Okay, seeing none, I'm gonna ask for a motion.

Councilwoman Fielding, your lights already up.

So it's already gone.

Um I will make a motion to approve the full liquor on cell license for Hampton Inn and Suites.

Do I have a second?

Second.

Councilwoman Gallow, second, call for the vote.

Parishai.

Galloway.

Okay, motion passes.

Item 5.3 consideration of bid award for the Musquite Boulevard ADA ramp improvements.

Travis.

Thank you, Mayor.

Council.

The item before you tonight is for a notice of award.

Um this project will remove and replace the existing ADA ramps along Musquite Boulevard and Sandhill Boulevard, all the way from exit 120 to 122.

Um this project has been on the books and we've been working on it to help the city of Musquite come into compliance with the American with Disabilities Act.

If you remember Musquite Boulevard and Sandhill were originally Musquite, or I'm sorry, N DOT right away.

So they've been um here for long, long time.

And when they put in the ADA ramps at each of the intersections or roadway crossings, that wasn't a thing.

And so there's a lot of them.

So this project is um for that on July 22nd.

Uh we received public works, held an open bid, um, sealed bid.

We received five bids ranging from 1.6 million to 2.4 million.

Maile Incorporated, doing business as Mailee Concrete, um, was identified as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Um thing to point out this project will be 100% funded through regional transportation of Southern Nevada Commission um money.

So this isn't coming out of the uh general fund.

Um and so once again, we are very thankful for the funding we received from them.

It is uh my recommendation to consider the bid award and to approve the notice of award to Maile Concrete in the amount of one million six hundred and forty thousand and twelve dollars, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you.

Do we have any questions from the council?

Okay, seeing none, I'm gonna open that up for uh public comment.

Seeing none, I'm gonna turn it back over to the council for motion.

Councilman Wanless.

Travis, I'm glad you work so well with the RTC.

Um what we get from them is incredible, and I'd like to make a motion to approve the contract or to approve this bid award for the ADA ramps.

Councilwoman Fielding.

I will second that.

Okay, call for the vote.

Parishai.

Galloway.

Okay, the motion passes.

5.4 consideration of approval of the contract for fiscal year 2025-2026 insurance program and renewal and other matters properly relating thereto.

So if you guys have any questions, deep soul looking um questions, Carly is going to be able to answer them.

Thank you, Gina.

Councilman Parish.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mayor.

I forgot to push my button.

Is that close to what we have in the budget?

Yes, I did request um a 10% increase from last year, and this came up to 8% increase.

Perfect, thank you.

Councilwoman Gallo.

That was gonna be my question.

We have it in the budget, so great minds think of it.

I think it's all the way there.

Okay, thank you.

Wow.

Thank you.

Um we will go ahead and open 5.4 up for public comment if anyone has any public comment.

Um, can we get come on up and we'll let's get your name?

Uh my name is uh Richard Sorum.

Uh, been a resident of Mesquite for year and a half, uh full-time resident, and purchased in 2020.

Um question on the insurance policy.

I I saw the listing as far as itemized coverages and whatnot, and being a in in the insurance business for 25 years.

Employment practices liability.

Is that included in that traveler's proposal?

It is.

Okay.

Okay.

And what's when what's the limit?

Does it follow the general liability limit?

We actually have more than that.

Um, I'm sorry.

I keep on Gina, come up to the mic to you.

I thought my voice carried.

Yeah.

Yes, it is included in our general liability.

And what what are the limits?

Um, I can spend some time uh with you after this, and I can't.

Well that's okay.

You don't have to.

I was just curious.

If you knew that over the top of your head.

Oh, I I know most of it, but not that.

Okay.

You cut me out that one question.

Okay.

Well, thank you very much.

Welcome.

Thank you, Richard.

See no other public comment, I'll ask for a motion.

Uh Councilman Wandless.

I'll make a motion to approve the contract for the fiscal year 2025-2026 insurance program renewal.

Councilwoman Gallo?

I'll second.

Okay, call for the vote.

It'll be high.

Galloway.

Okay, motion passes.

Um 5.5 consideration approval of the purchase and sell agreement between the city of Musquite and Musquite Land Partners LLC, a Nevada limited liability company for 12.43 acres of city owned land located at 200 John Deere Drive, APN number 002-13-212-002.

Martin.

Thank you, Mayor and Council.

Um this item and the next on the agenda are referring to two parcels that the city owns behind the fire station on Pioneer Boulevard.

Uh this agenda item is referring to the two 12.43 acres on the right on the screen.

So right behind Deep Roots over there, off of John Deere Drive, which is not a complete road yet.

The first and second resolutions were voted on according to the city charter on March 11th of this year.

The first was the approval to sell the parcel.

The second was to move forward with a certain buyer, which was uh Mesquite Land Partners LLC, also known as NRC, a local developer who wishes to purchase the land for housing.

Three appraisals were completed.

However, for the sake of this transaction, the offer used the the lower two since one of them was way off.

Um the buyer is offering to purchase this property without an incentive and use the average of the two appraisals to come up with a price of 368,845 dollars.

368 36845.

And just to note a few things in the contract.

Um the the buyer is willing to split the cost of the appraisals, so we pay for one.

We pay for one, and then they would pay for one.

You know, all these things are negotiable just like in a normal real estate contract.

So they're offering to pay for one of the two appraisals.

Um 90 day escrow, and but they are asking for a three percent commission as well.

And I I think that um Travis has some comments maybe on the road that's gonna be completed.

So one of the questions that we brought up last time um that was in the sales agreement was the completion of the road on this particular half on the 200, which is the one right behind uh deep roots, it's the landowner, whoever owns the piece of property finishes out their half.

The city of Mesquite doesn't own that portion of John Deere on the that would be the east side.

Um that's another private property owner.

What we will um and we agree to is just like anybody else, right where the red line is, you that's the property limit.

And so the city does own on the west side of John Deere that portion that we had finished from fire station three up to that red line, just like any other developer.

Um, and when we look at those, the funding for that again would be with our roadway fund through the RTC.

So um the other part of that we had discussed that you know it's the developers' responsibility to take the utilities up to their property, and that was negotiated.

So we would be doing the sidewalk curb and gutter and the asphalt on the west side of John Deere.

And that we're fulfilling an obligation that we set with all the developers.

So I feel that it's in our, you know, we need to do our part just like we ask everybody else.

So I'm that's what we're good with.

Thank you.

Councilman Parish?

Just to be clear, did I hear you say that you had RTC funds set aside for that, or is that gonna have to come out of the general fund?

No, that will come out of RTC funds.

I want to make that absolutely sure.

So we've in the past, um, and we have agreements with RTC that as developers work on different roadway sections.

If there's areas that um we can piggyback off of those and work on them, we'll add and do those.

So yes, that would be something that as they get going on that, we would contribute.

And again, it's just the West side, um, nothing on the east side.

So okay, thank you, Travis.

Any other questions?

Question Councilwoman Billy?

Okay, so I do have a few questions.

Um typically, who pays for those appraisals?

Because I looked at these purchase agreements and they're saying 50-50, but is it typically the buyer pays for the appraisal instead of the city?

Okay, but on here, both of the okay, this one and the next one just says 50-50.

Correct.

So the commission is also negotiated.

Sorry, Trent.

So our charter does allow for real estate.

I mean, uh, technically, like when we sold the Hardy building, we could have listed it with the real estate agent.

Um, but I've I've done a lot of the work, you know, on all these transactions.

Um, but on the other hand, you know, this was brought forth by a broker.

I understand.

So again, that's negotiated.

And I know that when this was up here a while ago when we did the presentation, we talked about this, and we talked about maybe negotiating the commission as well.

So, and I'm looking at both these, and yes, they are both three percent.

So that's something that I would like to negotiate as well.

Okay, okay, thank you.

Thank you, councilwoman.

Any other questions from council and our attorney has some comments.

I just wanted to in my review of this, there's two transactions that are gonna be contemplated.

We're just contemplating the first one.

Uh, in the agreements themselves, there's there's an addendum items, like we're talking about the completion of the road.

Just one thing to point out and make sure the council is aware of on the smaller portion, there's not any of the deed restrictions that would be accompanying um you know, a transaction like this that's for economic development, where on the bigger parcel, there are the deed restrictions that are proposed as part of that.

And so the the charter allows the council to sell things for less than fair market value for economic development purposes.

Historically, there's there's these tie-ins to these restrictions that are gonna be you know need to be complied with in order to justify that discount.

Okay, and that that's clear on the larger parcel, but again, on this on the smaller one, those weren't included.

And so my suggestion would be to make it consistent with both.

Um, and that part of the reason for that is that if if a traction, if a if uh um transaction is completed, it could be deemed void if it's not for economic purposes.

So I like to see things in writing showing how you know what what what is the city getting back in in return for offering that discount.

And so that would just be my one suggestion is make make those deed restrictions consistent with both parcels, and that's obviously something that would could be negotiated as well.

And if I know the can I speak on that?

Yeah, go ahead.

So the key difference is we're not asking for a discount on the smaller piece.

So that's why there's no deed restrictions.

I'd understand if we were asking for uh a discount on that piece, that would naturally come along with deed restrictions.

Yeah, and and I can address that as well.

If if that's the case, the council could sell it, but it's got to be done in a different process because the process that we're following now is for less than fair market value, and there's rules that are associated with that.

If we're just gonna sell a piece of property for for market value, then there's another procedure that's followed.

It's got to be auctioned, there's other statutes that are involved.

But what we've done here, building up here, it's it's couched within the terms of economic development and um lessing fair market value.

So if they wanted to do it differently, they could, but it would just have to go through a different process.

I think what he's referring to is maybe tightening it up with the development agreement and saying you've got five years to complete housing or am I?

Yeah, well, it can be done in different ways.

Different ways.

But if it was just selling it at fair market value, there's that needs to be offered to the public generally, and you know, there's statutes that require an auction, there's different things that would occur.

Councilwoman Fielding.

Thank you.

Thank you, Adam, for clarifying that.

Because I know when this was brought up months ago, we we talked about that, and if we're gonna give them a discount on one of the other projects that we would have those deed restrictions in there, right?

And I can't remember what they were, where they like you couldn't sell them for five years in the event of an emergency or an accident emergency, you could.

I mean, those were things that we talked about months ago, because we've been talking about this for months and months.

And I know I think that we've all talked about this, and you know, we want to make it best for both parties.

Um no doubt NRC makes a great project or product, so um, but it needs to be fair for both.

It's more to ensure that the property is turned over and that it's built on and for economic development.

So it's it's not to necessarily dictate exactly what product or whatever, but if we're gonna turn the land over, that it's gonna be built on, that it's not just gonna sit vacant for 20 years or you know, that that's that's where he was going with that.

So uh, you know, we we've done a lot of development in this town over the last 30 years.

We we don't sit on stuff.

Um the 12-acre piece is always kind of been in mind as a second phase of what we're doing for the first, you know, 34 acres that we're asking for the discount on.

But if it's unsuccessful for whatever reason, we want to be able to sell that diff that other piece or develop it as we please, not be you know, dictated by what we're restricted on per our contract.

So that was the whole reason we didn't ask for a discount.

Um 34 acres is not a huge piece for us.

So to put our time and energy and um, you know what we do into a project like that, it that that's what made it make sense for us is to have the other 12 acres as um the second phase, or if it wasn't successful, you know, whatever we felt would work commercial, whatever.

So um, and just to remind everybody, the first I keep saying the first our initial offer was on the 34 acres.

This 12 acres was always a piece of it.

But our whole idea behind this thing was low income or I'm sorry, affordable housing.

Um, so that's why we asked for the discount.

We're trying to get it to where we can you know build a nice home for people that can't afford a half million dollar home.

Um but that's the whole reasoning behind it.

Um, you know, the two pieces have always been kind of a package deal for us.

So if you if you're saying that the can the entire process has to be changed for the 12 acres, that's kind of the first we've heard that that's the case, which you know I respect whatever, but um it is kind of a package deal for us.

We're we're we're in it for both pieces, so councilwoman filing.

Dylan, don't go anywhere.

Um, so so let's just recap because I know you've came up here several times and stuff.

So you are planning to you do this for affordable housing.

The the first piece, absolutely.

We should probably go through the I'm sorry, the 34 acres, absolutely.

Okay, our contract clearly states that that's why we're asking for the discount.

It's 30 percent, I think, plus a little bit of uh redevelopment fund money, not a lot, but yes, there we have deed restrictions.

Um they're in the offer, and it's basically uh you know, making it affordable for people making uh 80 percent of average yearly income.

So we are we have to offer 10 percent of whatever we're offering to people that only qualify in that income bracket.

Right.

So again, just to clarify, because we've talked about this numerous times.

So are you gonna be able, are you going to sell them to investors for rents?

Um because that's something we talked about because rents are keep going up, and that we need to keep our rents down to make it affordable.

Yeah, I think there's something in there about rents.

Um they could probably read some of the verbage in the contract, and Trent could speak on that more than I can probably.

Um just keep in mind the the restrictions are on 10% of what we're offering.

If the if the price range of the 10% we're offering is really successful for us, um it will probably more, you know, we'll we'll offer more than 10% of our offerings for that income bracket if it if it's successful, but everything we do is based on what the market does.

But everything we do is based on what the market does.

Right.

So I understand.

But but um, you know, I think it's safe to say that we can with confidence say that we can offer 10% of what we build out there to that income bracket.

So and then again, is this the first affordable housing project that you've done in Mesquite?

Um, yeah, I mean, you could say that, you know, most of the most of the stuff we do is is more um middle to upper um you know price range.

But you know, we're we're builders, we know you know we could.

That's perfect.

And thank you for and Trent, you know, for coming forward and for pursuing this because I I think that's what we need is affordable housing.

So I'd like to see this.

Dylan, I got a question for you it sounds like on the 12 acres, there's a process, yeah, that we have to follow.

Would you rather if you had your reathers, would you rather do the 34 and get that worked out and then go through that process for the 12, or would you rather do the 12 underneath the same conditions as you do the 34?

Well, I mean, I guess I'll say this.

We have a we have a due diligence period in our offer for the 34 acres.

Um if council approved that contract tonight, we would have time to evaluate whether we're in the deal with the 12 acres as well.

If 12 acres goes to um, you know, if if it's uh if it's an auction type thing, you know, we don't we have no control of it at that point.

If it's a matter of, hey, if you pay the higher of the two appraisals, it can get done.

I don't know, I'm not the attorney, right?

So um we would consider it, you know, it just depends on how the chips would fall on the 12-acre piece.

But um, we we have a due diligence period in the in both contracts to protect ourselves.

So any other questions from council?

Councilman Perrish.

Um Adam, what if we was to take this purchase agreement and reduce it by one dollar?

That would get us in compliance and we could move forward with this.

Yes?

The way I look at it, I I wouldn't be comfortable.

It's not the value that I'm concerned about.

It's that there's no there's no um there's no tie-in to what are the the restrictions on or like what the city is getting on in behalf of reducing the value.

So the value's already reduced.

The the values are in the in this agreement is already reduced.

On the 12 acres?

On the 12 acres, it's already a reduced value.

I thought it was full freight.

Well, I mean, there's two different appraisals, and there was a price that was given, and so but don't we just set the price?

I mean, we went through this last month, we just set the price, and that's the price.

No matter what the appraisal is.

Correct, but it needs to be tied into economic development.

And so my concern is that the under the charter and under the applicable statutory provisions that on this piece, there's not there's no tie-ins to what that economic development would be.

I'm not saying this is economic development.

I'm just saying I want to sell it for 363,000 minus one dollar.

Yeah.

And the process to do that, if it's not for economic development, then there's a there's a different rules that apply, because we're a public entity.

Okay, and we only get to go this route if it's for economic development and less than fair market value.

There it's still a possibility, but it just has to be done a different way.

Yeah.

So what makes it market value, I guess.

If it if we win at the higher appraisal value, like how does it what's market determined, what's market value determined by in all the law's eyes.

Yeah, and and it's a market value is a fuzzy thing, right?

Right.

You get these two appraisals, it's ultimately what the council determines.

But the the charter allows to sell it for less than fair market value, but it has to be tied in with economic development.

Okay.

So I don't want to get too caught up on what the price is or is that fair market or not.

The main concern is how is this how is this for economic development?

And what what in the contract, what requirements in the contract are there to show that this is going to be used within the definition of economic development.

And the the agreement, um, sorry, the charter does allow for giving property or selling it for less than far market value for development of residential property, so that that can support the other businesses.

But there's nothing in the agreement that ties it back to that.

So, for example, one way to resolve this for the smaller acreage is to put some kind of deed restrictions in there that it has to be used for residential development within a certain amount of time frame.

It has to be used to be.

Okay, I got I got and it doesn't have to be the same restrictions that we have in the other agreement, but there should be something there tying it in so that's what the charter says, if it's if it's not done in this way, the cell could be voided.

So I'm trying to protect the city and it protects you ultimately too.

That there should be something in the agreement type tying a restriction that shows that it meets that definition of economic development.

So I mean, economic development is is a broad term too.

We're gonna go out and move dirt on the project.

That's economic development.

I I'll also say there's an economic development matrix for commercial property that we've used before that allows for discounts on property too.

One of the discounts is you can get 30% off if you if you spend a million dollars on the development of a piece of property.

We could easily do that on this piece.

I mean, we're we're going to do that.

We're gonna move a million dollars worth of dirt and and plans and engineering and all the stuff on the 12 acres.

So yeah, and and there's other agreements that we're looking at right now where that's part of the that that part of what the city gets back is we get a guarantee that there's certain amount that's gonna be spent for capital improvements.

So I think all this could be resolved, but the and uh maybe like give us some time to work through this and get some suggestions going.

But I would just like to see something in there that there'd be a deed restriction or other um in other agreements that we've done, there's there it's clear as to what exactly that economic development would be.

But the the as it is, where we see it now, I'd want to see something else in there.

So I'll just say this to council.

Well uh tonight for tonight's purposes on the 34 acre piece.

If it's approved, great.

We can go into contract, we have a due diligence period.

During that due diligence period, we'll be working with uh Adam and Martin creating an addendum to the 12-acre purchase that's probably gonna have to do something with an amount of uh uh capital invested into that 12 acres.

And you know, I mean, we weren't even asking for a discount, but maybe we will if we're dropping a million bucks into it and that gets us a discount.

We can work through that, but basically um during our due diligence period, we would try to work that out and bring that back to council for a vote.

And I think that's a great way and a reasonable way to go about it.

Councilman Wandless, Trent and Dylan.

I was just gonna suggest we know you're under this property, no one else is gonna buy it unless it comes through us.

But if we table this piece of property tonight, go through the proper hoops, come back in two to four weeks, go after it, then going through those hoops after you talk to everyone.

Let's just deal with the 34.07 and let's get you guys going.

Yeah, like I say, we're we're we're great with getting that approved tonight.

And like I say, we we have a due diligence to protect our interest too.

Trent and I don't make every call here.

So um, you know, we've got we've got different partners and investors to look at this stuff with.

So and it's a 90-day due diligence.

Can I ask you this, you guys?

They don't have to go back and start at the beginning on this process process, right?

Just for no, it could come back as soon as the next council meeting, which is a new version of the agreement.

Um for this for the contract, it's gonna be 90 days.

That's what they're talking about, the due diligence period.

So we table this item until we go through the right channels and we go after the next item and see if we can get you guys funded.

Yeah, our intention is we'll we'll bring, you know, we'll we'll work with staff to create uh an addendum to our contract that works for everybody on the 12 acres.

Yeah, I'm good with that.

And I can chat more with you right after the meeting too.

Yeah, that's good.

Well, we got a public comment.

Yeah, we have someone else.

Do you have any more questions?

Or okay.

Um with that, we will go ahead and open up public comment.

Hi, I'm Mary Gleason.

I live here in Mesquite, and I'm just I heard so many numbers thrown around tonight.

I'm not sure which ones are right.

So what I heard was the 34 acres are going to be all uh affordable housing.

And then what I also heard is 10% of that will meet affordable housing.

So which is it?

Is it all of it or is it 10%?

Because to me, that's a huge difference.

I can address it real quick.

So this isn't actually on this agenda item, but on the next one, when we're gonna be discussing that'll be opportunity to comment on it more.

But there's an addendum that talks about 10% of the property would be for affordable housing, and based on certain income restrictions, then there'd be another restriction on the maximal allowable rent that would be paid if if uh like a property owner's renting percent or on 10%, not the whole thing, 10%.

On 10%, not the whole thing, 10%.

That's what's proposed.

10% even begin to tap into the need for low-income housing or affordable housing in this area.

That is a great question for council and you know, parties involved.

I hope that will enter the conversation.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mary.

Can I speak just to address what she said?

So our intention isn't to only um develop 10% of that property for affordable housing.

The economic matrix that's used by the city to get the 30% discount, that's the requirements of the matrix.

So in other words, the city says if you will sell uh 10% of your product to people that only make 80% of average yearly income, you qualify for this discount.

So in other words, um, you know, say that say that number is 200,000.

We might have uh you know, homes or multifamily stuff, whatever we develop ranging from 150 to 350.

Um, but it won't be a you know 200,000 unit next to a 600,000 dollar unit.

That just doesn't, I mean, it doesn't make sense to to build those two products in the same vicinity.

But everything we're we're proposing is based off of the city's economic development matrix for residential.

So that's where the discount comes from.

Thank you.

That's what the Jeff Reynolds, I'm not a business person, but to me, it kind of seems that given the the discounts to uh builders was for economic growth for building bringing builders in, or I mean uh businesses in that have employees, and not just for these guys.

You know, if they're only gonna put guaranteed 10% low income housing, and that's the only way they can get this discount.

Why don't say okay, you only get a 10% discount for every for 10% housing.

If you want to guarantee 30% of it, then you get 30% discount.

But just to give them 30% for maybe 10%, I think that's wrong.

I I don't agree with giving builders that kind of discount anyway, but that's my thought.

Thank you, Jeff.

I don't think you talked on this.

No, that's right.

We're still on the first case, are we?

Yeah.

Yeah, you're still on the first one.

Uh Richard Sorum again.

Uh, just the reason I came tonight the first night uh here with city council, and I appreciate meeting all of you, um, is the development of mesquite.

Um, I'm seeing uh you know lands and sand moved and and homes going in uh all over this all over the city.

But I'm what I'm not seeing is I'm not seeing any businesses coming into the city outside of the large ones to the south, but um you know, services like a grocery store, a services like a clothing store, those types of things.

And I know mosquitoes a unique uh environment, business environment as far as a lot of people leave in the summertime because of the heat and whatnot.

But I I wish you guys you know would consider these things as far as developments for housing, because you're gonna be overdeveloping and there's not gonna be any services, and it's gonna be uh uh not a good way, it's not something that my wife and I and our our family moved here because of the you know small town feel and golf courses and weather and and all that, and uh I think that with this overdevelopment that's been going on or or is continuing to go on, uh we're gonna lose that.

And uh my comments.

Thank you, Richard.

I want to speak to that for just a second.

Trent Graves.

Um you have to have the rooftops first before the commercial and retail will come.

And I can tell you from a broker's standpoint, there's nobody here that wants commercial business here worse than us.

And by the way, we are working with some people that if it happens, everybody will be very happy.

But you have to have the rooftops, and that's why we get passed over.

We just do not have the rooftops of the population here for the Applebees or anybody else like that to come to this uh town right now, even though we're it all it looks very busy and we're on an I-15 corridor for those companies that are looking, there's criteria that we just get passed over, unfortunately.

And then just in terms of clarification, Dylan keeps saying 30%.

It's actually a 25% discount, and we're simply following the city's the city's eligibility guidelines that were passed by former city council.

So the matrix allows for a 25% land discount with the caveat of the 10% affordable housing units.

And Dylan spoke to the income not exceeding the 80% area median income.

And then the deed restrictions are actually up to 10 years.

So it's pretty restrictive, and uh of course we would hope that we would be building a lot more than just 10%.

Thanks.

Thanks, Trent.

Mayor, if I may, just one more final thing, just a reminder to the council, the public as well.

And Dylan had mentioned like what is economic development.

That's but kind of a broad term.

It's actually defined in the statute.

And so it says the establishment of new commercial enterprises or facilities within the city, that would qualify.

The support retention or expansion of existing commercial enterprises or facilities within the city, the establishment retention or expansion of public quasi-public or other facilities or operations within within the city, and then the establishment of residential housing needed to support the establishment of new commercial enterprises, just like Trent was saying, um, or facilities or expansion or the expansion of existing uh enterprises or facilities.

And then it says, or any combination of activity of these activities.

So all of if as long as it's within that, then the council has that discretion to sell it for less and fair market value, like we like we've doing.

Thank you, Adam.

Councilman Wandless.

I'd like to make a motion to table 5.5 until you have a chance to get with staff and make sure we do this right so it doesn't go away later, and just move forward to 5.6.

Councilwoman Fielding.

I will second that.

Okay, call for the vote.

Julie.

Okay, item 5.6 consideration of approval of the purchase and sell agreement between the city of Musquite and the Mesquite Land Partners LLC, a Nevada limited liability company for 34.07 acres of city owned land located at 201 Deere Drive, APN number 0202-13-211-004.

Any questions from council or Martin, you want to go first?

Thank you, Mayor and Council.

Uh, this agenda this agenda item is referring to the 34.07 acres on the left of the screen off of John Deere Drive and eventual road.

Um, as with the 12.43 acre parcel, the first of second resolutions were voted on according to the city charter on March 11th of this year.

And again, three appraisals were obtained.

Uh the two Laura ones were used.

So this this buyer is offering to purchase a property with a 25% incentive, 10% of the project would be affordable housing, a minimum of 10% with a 10-year deed restriction for those with an income of less than 80% area medium income.

So the average of the two appraisals to come up with a price of um, I got that number wrong.

Sorry.

Oh it'd be um 600 and 32,105, and again, it would be the same uh splitting the appraisals, three percent commission to the broker, and a 90-day escrow.

So in that 90 days, as they were saying, they would have plenty of time to do their due diligence, and part of that would be to work on the other parcel as well.

Thank you.

Uh Councilman Wandless.

Martine, I have a couple of questions.

Uh-huh.

And this is nothing against you guys.

I actually am for this project.

But I'm curious if somebody bought this and said they were going to do the whole thing in affordable housing, that we could give them up to 90% off.

That's correct.

What if we took the the amount of property they're willing to do and give them 90% off of that and have them pay the full price for the rest?

Maybe that would entice them to go 20 or 30 percent at 10 cents on a dollar and still have the other 70 percent of the property at full price to do what they want with it and would help the city more.

I just I just find it interesting that somebody doing 100% gets 90 percent.

If you do 10, you get 25.

That doesn't equate in my simple brain.

They should be have some something about them that makes them the same.

And if they're doing something for the city, uh-huh, and maybe it entices it to do a little bit more than just 10%, that would benefit the city economically a lot more than just 10 to 3.5 acres.

A thought.

Yeah, years ago.

Uh councilwoman fielding probably knows because you've been here that long.

No, that there was a group years ago that tried to come up with some kind of threshold on the commercial and housing instead of just throwing a dart against the wall.

Um to somehow to have a starting point, but you know, as he has said before, with the charter, you guys have a lot of leeway as to what you can do.

I mean, we sold the land to the hospital for a dollar, so you guys have a lot of leeway.

This is more just to kind of where do we go?

What do we do?

So that was the reason that this housing matrix was developed years ago.

So when we're when we're using the matrix, uh-huh, shouldn't it be the same for all properties?

Not necessarily.

But I do I when I bring them forward, they are, but then I defer to you and say, what do you want to do?

And I'm I'm just curious.

There's maybe maybe I'm not smart enough to understand how this makes sense.

Can Adam I think what Martini is trying to say it's within the discretion of the council?

And so if you think it doesn't make sense, you don't have to follow that, right?

But as far as what the charter requires and what the statutes require, it's that it's those items that I just read.

Boy, this this council would be a lot better off if we had actually guidelines instead of just go ahead and make your own choices.

But that's the reason for the matrix for the housing and the commercial, because actually you guys have a lot of leeway.

I mean, you could sell land, you know, look at Crown, we sold it for a dollar an acre.

So it's it that's why when I try to bring something forth to the council, I'm trying to follow always the matrix, and then it's up to you really to decide from there.

And and I wasn't here when the matrix was created either, but I think you know the idea is developers come in, they're asking the city manager, you know, we're interested, and this is kind of what's laid out.

This is generally what we've done, but ultimately it's the council that didn't.

And Dylan, I'm not against you guys.

I understand.

I'm I'm curious.

This may actually help you more if we could figure this out.

So from our standpoint, let me tell you why we went for 25% off.

I got the matrix right in front of me.

The 25% less uh land discount comes with 10% affordable units, uh 80 less income at less than 80% AMI and a deed restriction for a minimum of 10 years.

If you're on the 50% discount, you offer 20% affordable units, we'd be fine with that income at less than 60% AMI, a deed restriction for 20 years, and imagine management agency, which means HOA.

The those those the the 60 percent AMI and the management agency, that's where it kind of fell apart for us.

You know, that that's the reason we didn't go for more than 25 percent.

And I and I understand that, but but I'm saying if you do 20 percent, what if we gave you that at 10 and you paid full for the other 80?

So you uh maybe I'm not quite following.

You're saying take uh I don't know if we can legally do that, but they're saying the council can do whatever.

But if we the the amount of property you say we will put affordable housing on, uh we do what we would if you were doing the whole the whole thing at 90 percent discount, but then you pay a hundred percent on the rest of the property.

Yeah, I well probably I I sort of get what you're saying.

I guess what I would say is to us it it kind of turns up the entire deal up to this point for us.

Um how many units are you gonna get on this 34.07?

34 acres.

I mean, I spoke to this before when we 10% is a no, I need a number.

Yeah, well, okay, let's just talk generally.

20 20 per what?

20 for the whole project.

No, so they're gonna be low income.

So if we gotta be the affordable house, smaller stuff.

So uh we would I we got in depth in this when we talked about the letter of intent, and Travis can help me a little bit here, maybe it the current the the smallest lot size in an approved zoning in mesquite right now is I think five thousand square feet, Travis.

So you know, divide 34 acres times uh 43,560 divided by 5,000.

That's a ballpark of how many units you're gonna get, right?

Well, and you're gonna have grading elements.

Yeah, I mean you're gonna mine is 20 percent.

So what would density be?

Five six units per let me do a little math.

Well, it it's hard to say because you have the grading elements in there.

Yeah, so you've got about 50 15 minutes.

Well, that's the number of, I think everybody won't everybody keep sharing this.

That's the that's the easy math right there.

Okay, everybody keeps hearing 10%, but I think everybody would grasp it better if you said the number of units.

Yeah, so I mean, doing some quick math.

If we might get I don't know if I did it right.

I'm capping out 236.

Is that sound right?

Doesn't um okay.

With the current zoning, you got five thousand square foot lots.

Let's say you can get five of those per acre.

That's fine.

So um during our the last meeting, we talked a bit about trying to create a new zone, you know, work with staff to create a new zone where we could develop more of a uh tiny home concept, you know, that would increase your density, obviously.

Um, but with the existing zonings approved by Mesquite, that's a ballpark figure for you, Kevin.

That's about five units per I'm sorry, Paul.

My my problem isn't so much with NRC as it is with this matrix.

I wish this matrix made complete sense all the time, and and it just doesn't well if I'm wrong.

We we have the power to change the matrix if we want to.

And we have we get more comments on this matrix, and I'm gonna vote yes for your for what you're doing because the city needs it, and it's a great location, it's not around anyone else.

It's there's nothing wrong with it.

I'm going to vote yes, but I would like to see this make absolute sense, regardless of the percentage of the proper property they were developing, or if it's commercial or anything else, just so it makes it simpler for us to figure out what we're doing.

We have a separate matrix for commercial that's used every transaction that we've done.

I'd just like to see something that makes sense.

So I'm gonna speak up again.

Um, if we can ever hire another city manager and we get Martin back into economic development, maybe she could start working on some new matrices matrices for us.

Is that kind of what you're getting at, Paul?

Yeah, and no, that's absolutely what I'm getting at.

Woman fielding.

Thank you.

I thought my light was gonna burn up, it was on for so long.

Um thank you, Mayor.

So Travis.

Hi.

So looking at this addendum, what is it gonna cost the city of Mesquite from fire station two up to the point of that to do only one side of the road?

And here's my other question.

Uh huh.

I understand we're gonna do one side, uh-huh, but then how many feet yards is on the other side that we're not gonna do.

Um, so you the first part of your question, when we looked at this, oh shoot, was it a month ago, two months ago?

Anyways, I went back and was looking at this the footage that we have.

You're looking between 200 and 250,000 for for our piece right there.

Just the just the west side, just the west side.

Okay, which is the longer part, and then the other piece, um pardon?

Yeah, it would be less than that.

It's uh I don't have the number right in front of me, but what is that?

Probably three quarters of the length that whoever when they go and develop that developer, the owner of that lot will be required to finish that their half of the road.

Right.

So again, the city wouldn't pay for this, it would be the RTC.

Well, that's correct.

The city would be um when I work with the roadways, um we have we do have a finite amount of money with RTC, and we've been managing that.

This is one that I can um with the budgeting that we've done, I have enough to be able to account for that portion of the road, yes.

Our side, uh-huh.

Our side.

So I know I know like Ivy Lee Crest and stuff, we went and did that years ago as well when the developer before they started developing and they're developing now.

So that road is gonna have paved, but no gutter and and sidewalk or anything on the other side.

On the east side, correct.

On the east side.

So I mean so it's gonna cost you half of 250,000.

Uh yeah, like three.

And the RTC won't pay for the other side?

They would if you want to use that money to do that.

But we hold the developers who ever own says property will eventually come in and do it.

We hold the developers usually, and you see that all through town, but in uh to make everything just clear, when we have had situations like that, like we did on Ivy Lee, it was a safety issue, you know.

We were people were going into oncoming traffic.

This could be um similar, but it's not gonna have quite the amount of traffic that Ivy Lee crested, or I'm sorry, Oasis when we did that.

Now, coming up this year, I've got a project where it's the sawtooth project I've been talking about, where we're finishing situations like this, but it's because we're trying to get um the kids, those areas like at Old Mill Road, safe passage on the sidewalks and things like that.

This one I wouldn't say is a situation where we want to do that yet in the future, maybe, but for the amount of that you'd have I I wouldn't do that yet.

I was saying this.

No, that was just that was just my question.

I was just wondering.

I mean, if if they're gonna get both pieces, and who knows how long it's gonna be for this other project.

So and if it's not a safety issue, and I understand old mill with this and Hafen and the kids and all that, those truly are safety issues.

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Any other questions from council?

Okay, thanks, guys.

Um, with that, we're gonna oh oh, you got it.

Councilwoman Philly.

I do have one more question, not really a question, but just so I'm very clear because I wrote that on both of these.

Um, I read this, and the commission is three percent, and I still would be okay with two and a half percent commission to um the buyer's agent.

Okay, with that, do we have any public comment on item 5.6 okay?

Seeing none, I'm gonna ask for a motion, Councilman Wilness.

I'd like to make a motion to approve the purchase and sell agreement between the city of Mesquite Land Partners LLC and Nevada limit limited liability company for 34.07 acres.

Located at 201 John Deere Drive, APN number 002-13-211-004.

And then Councilwoman Gallows for the commission.

I'll second.

Okay, call for the vote.

Oh, hold on, we need to amend it.

Well, Paul can make this motion part of his motion.

Yeah, he can move forward with his motion.

Yeah, so councilwoman Gallo did.

So call for the vote.

Gallo I.

Okay, motion passes.

Item 5.7 has been pulled, but as a consideration and ratification of collective bargaining agreement for the team still steam teamsters local 14 for 7125 to 630 28.

Do we have any public comment on item 5.7?

Okay, seeing none, we'll close that item.

Item six, final public comment.

Seeing no public comment, this meeting is adjourned at 6 59 p.m.
