Good evening, everyone.

Oh.

Now it's on.

And welcome to the Tuesday, September 9th, 2025 regular city council meeting for the city of Mesquite.

It's five o'clock, and we're gonna get going.

We're gonna start off with an invocation by Pastor Bob Brugman from the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.

I won't say Bob.

Don't see Bob.

Did I see Pastor Tabor?

Yeah.

Would you be willing?

Thank you.

Oh, there's a good evening.

Um Father, we thank you.

We thank you that you are among us because we ask you to be here.

We need help, we need guidance, we need wisdom.

Lord, we need peace, and we need to be able to communicate to one another.

And so, Lord, I just ask you to help us all to be polite, to be respectful, to be articulate, and to be able to share our concerns and even our ideas for help.

Thank you, Jesus.

Amen.

Thank you, Pastor, for filling in for us.

And I'd ask you to please all rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Pledge.

Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

At this time, we are going to have a uh presentation by Mr.

Michael Benham on for 9-11.

Good evening, Mayor Council.

Very emotional week for us, especially from the East Coast, who knew a couple of the guys who perished in the towers.

I would like to read some thoughts that uh I put down about 9-11.

First of all, my name is Mike Benham.

I want to thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to talk about 9-11.

At the time of 9-11, I was a fire police captain in the New Egypt Fire Company in New Jersey.

One of our police officers had a search dog.

His name was Max.

He was a black lab.

He went to New York to help search.

Within a year, Mac had tumors all over his body, and he passed away.

His handler said his body was small.

Let's see how long it takes for the first responders now to get sick.

We all know the answer now, don't we?

I have a photo here of John Stewart.

Right there.

He has a TV show.

I don't know if many of you know John Stewart.

Have you seen his show?

John was a good friend of mine.

I coached him in soccer for two years.

John went to Washington on behalf of the first responders who were sick.

His famous words were they did their job, now you do yours.

I have some photos that I took in Las Vegas at New York, New York, at the casino of the fireboat with all the shirts that were around the pond.

He'll put them up in a minute.

There you go.

Those shirts started there, went all the way around.

There was hundreds from all over the world.

What a tribute to 9-11.

Also, there was a car with all the names on the first responders.

It was actually parked in Mesquite for about a couple of weeks with all the names of the first responders who died.

Next one.

Dana was a special person.

He came to our fire department when we had a brand new ladder truck.

He taught our guys how to operate it safely, never charges the penny.

And unfortunately, he didn't make it.

After 9-11, the generosity from around the world was truly amazing.

People in Gandon, Newfoundland, population of 10,000, took in 7,000 people on 38 planes.

People took strangers into their houses.

Churches and schools made makeshift dormitories.

Over 500 million dollars was donated to the 911 memorial in New York.

New York.

Dana was a friend to the New Egypt Fire Company.

We made him an honorary member of our fire company.

His parents accepted the award at our annual dinner.

You got one more picture.

You have two, actually, I think.

This is ground zero in New York.

A very solemn place, I can tell you.

Emergency responders dressed in black and blue, saving lives is what we do.

They died heroes, everyone.

Now they are in heaven with God and his only son.

May they all rest in peace.

On 9-11 at Mesa Valley Estates at 3 30.

Rabbi Zuckerman will be there.

Councilman Ennis, Al Lipman, and I'm inviting all the members of Council and any members of the public who would like to come.

There are 19 veterans up there who some of them can't get out.

So that I would like you all to come if you can.

If anybody, that isn't advertised, but it's when you go in and buy your tickets, you will see that.

So right now, I would like to introduce to you the McAfee family.

Kim McAfee.

And she is the lucky girl whose name was uh picked out of a bunch of cards for Conrad Bertie to kiss by before Conrad Bertie enters the army.

And her little brother, Randolph, and her mother, Mrs.

McAfee, and Mr.

McAfee.

And then we have brought our own reporter who will be documenting what's going on here at Mesquite City Council and sending it back to Sweet Apple, Ohio.

So with that, um, I think that Mr.

McAfee has a few words to share with you.

Um I am I have a wonderful wife.

I have two swell kids.

I have a great job.

And now I'm gonna be appearing on the Ed Sullivan show.

So um maybe stop by the Mesquite community theater and see me on show with the comment curry, but everyone's seeing me at this show, so all right.

So that's our presentation.

Oh, oh, one last thing.

Um, our honorable mayor has a he and his wife have a cameo performance in the show.

So um everyone is invited, and I want to thank the Mesquite City Council for all of the gifts that you give us.

It's the gifts of love, and we feel that, and we feel like that we are in that what we do is important in your eyes, and thank you very much.

Thank you, Mitzi.

Do we have any other presentations or ceremonial matters?

Okay, with that, Martine.

I would like to pull an item from the agenda.

Okay.

Item 6.4.

Okay.

Just need a little more time on that, right?

Yes, thank you.

Okay, and then it's appropriate, Mayor, that if anyone wants to make public comment during that portion, we'll still have that opportunity for public comment.

Okay.

Um, with that, we will start the opening public comment portion of our meeting.

Um, you have three minutes.

Please address myself and uh come on forward.

I guess.

Good evening, Mayor Whipple and Council members.

I'm Ruth Dickey, Constitution Week Chairperson from the Daughters of the American Revolution, and with me is our fearless leader and Regent Lee, Dr.

Lee Rosner, and we're here to represent uh the DER here in Musquete.

Uh Constitution Week starts September 17th through the 23rd.

It actually started today with Jeffrey McKenna speaking to the Hughes Middle School, 177th graders about uh 17 years that changed the destiny of mankind.

But uh, this is about our bells across America happening on Wednesday, September 17th.

It's a day when uh we will gather at the Veterans Memorial Park and uh ring our bells precisely at one o'clock in commemoration of the signing and the reading of the U.S.

Constitution.

So we would like uh everyone to come and uh Mayor Whipple is going to be speaking as well as other veterans.

We're dedicating it to our veterans here in Mesquite in honor of the 250 years of Vietnam uh or 75 years of Vietnam War being um over.

So um please come and um we will ring our bells right at one o'clock.

You can bring your own, or we will have little bells available for you.

Okay, so it's a fun time uh to celebrate.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Ruth, and thank you to the DIR as well.

I just wanted to add one thing.

Um it the program does start at noon for the bells, the bell ringings at one.

Um the other thing we have coming up is on Wednesday, September 24th, actually the week of the 22nd through the 26th.

We're going to have the American Revolution Experience traveling exhibit at the Steam Center.

It'll be open for the hours the Steam Center is open, but we are having a public reception on September 24th from four to six, and again, we hope everybody can make that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Evening, Mr.

Mayor, uh, council members, my name is Chris Wall.

Uh, I just wanted to bring up a small thing that I saw that was uh a little concerning.

Um the other day I was on my way back home here on Mesquite Boulevard and that crosswalk there with uh Arrowhead, there was a pedestrian trying to cross, they hit the button to cross, the lights come on, and people tend to just kind of want to walk as soon as those lights come on.

And I happen to be in the right lane, so I was able to see them sufficient time to stop, but the car to my left, uh, they were not able to.

And the person was already out there in the street, and so they were obviously agitated, the poor car almost hit the person, so I'm sure they felt bad too.

Uh so I mean, I don't know exactly what the solution to that is, but I also know someone that just recently got a citation for the exact same problem because they didn't yield to a pedestrian.

It's like, well, you can't when you're 15 feet away from the crosswalk, you have no indication that you need to slow down, and you're going 35 or 25 during school hours, whatever.

Uh, but it is a concern.

I don't want to see anybody hurt.

I don't want to see people getting unnecessary citations, so just wanted to bring that up to everybody.

Thanks.

Thanks, Chris.

Mayor, counsel, Nick Elfansetti, Ms.

Uh, just want to share something with you about 9-11.

I was back in New York when that happened, upstate New York, and uh, you know, I'd heard that it happened on hollow ground, and so I researched out what it was, and to find out there's a monument to the first White House that's there.

It's right next to it, and there's a monument of bronze of George Washington pointing over to where the twin towers stood.

And if you read into it, that's where the first White House was that church that's there now.

And knowing that it was hollow ground, kind of I I did more research to find out when George Washington told them, meaning the first Congress, to go there into the grove and pray for America, and pray that we would do all the things that our creator wanted us to do, as long as we could be the United States of America, and that's where it happened.

When he pointed to them, they went there and they came back, and that's where the signature happened.

So that is hollow ground, and that's exactly where the twin tower stood.

Just for information, thank you for your time.

Thank you, Nick.

Mr.

Mayor, members of the council.

For the record, my name is Marcus Bender.

At the last city council meeting, just moments before it began, Mr.

Kim approached Miss Shifano, my wife Erica, and myself.

He told us he had a solution and would be making a presentation and advised us not to speak during public comment.

I did approach the mic to speak at the last meeting.

I had a prepared statement, but I was going to give Mr.

Kim the benefit of the doubt that he actually had a solution.

So I decided not to read it at that moment.

I turned to Mr.

Kim, shaking his head no.

His so-called solution was nothing more than an attempt to silence us.

Instead of addressing the real true facts and issues, Mr.

Kim's presentation threw Nordic Beach under the bus to protect the nightclub.

Worse, he disguised his presentation as staff comments to avoid public input because he knew we would expose his falsehoods, distortions, reliance on outdated and unrecorded documents, and outright misrepresentations.

Just as disturbing was Mr.

Kim's retaliatory tactic during his presentation.

Telling the public that Mr.

Bender, that be me, was in violation for installing a gate.

Unbelievable.

For the record, that gate was approved by fire marshal Rick Resnick.

It was installed on our private property for many reasons.

Number one reason being the safety of my wife due to the appalling black witch hunt that she has been put through.

That gate helps prevent unlawful trespassing, harassment, and the dangerous activities associated with the nightclub.

And important to know.

Ironic, isn't it, that after four years of raising our concerns to the city about the nightclub.

Not once has Mr.

Kim or any city official mentioned or cited the nightclub for any of its many violations.

Yet suddenly Mr.

Kim singles me out.

That is not enforcement, that is retaliation.

Your time's up.

Because Mr.

Kim was very clear that we don't need any public participation.

Now I don't know if the attorney was there that night to advise, but I find this very concerning that the agenda would be set knowing that there's been an issue to be complained about and that the city would have rather silence us than allow us to speak.

That's not an approval.

That's his words is approval.

It's a site plan review.

Now the site plan review required 628 parking spots.

Red Hills currently has around 524.

So Red Hills Commercials out of compliance with its parking.

Whether you go after the nightclub or not, Red Hills Commercial is out of compliance with its parking.

There are no variances, there's no shared parking study, there's nothing to prove that there's a reciprocal or shared parking agreement with the city.

And the CCNRs don't count for the city because they have to enforce the code.

The actual recorded map is this map.

I'm sure you can see the difference between the two maps.

It's highlighting somebody's wish compared to what was recorded.

So we're just asking that that reciprocal parking is enforced for the municipal codes, not to the CCNRs, to the municipal codes.

That everybody in Red Hills Commercial has their parking that is required by the city.

Our other issue is that this is the map they should be going by.

This is our final map.

Let's point out again that parcel two doesn't pay any dues.

They're not part of Red Hills yet.

They're annexed in, supposedly.

Parcels one and and five are also annexed in, but they're not paying any dues.

So you see, there's a lot of issues here with this community, and we need to have it straightened out.

Um, the easements don't include reciprocal parking.

So it does include ingress and egress, but it does not have anything to do with reciprocal parking.

So we're just asking that you enforce the parking code so that we can do business and stop coming to city council meetings, because I'm sure you're done hearing about it.

So I appreciate your time.

Thank you.

Thank you, Rayleigh.

Oh, sorry.

My name is Erica Nicholas, and I had a video that I wanted to show, and he says you have to allow it.

Yeah, as long as that's when the time limits.

Thank you.

That's driving on sidewalks, by the way.

That's my back lot where I'm afraid of my own property because people are all the people who are calling me names and hate me are there.

This is the um, this is a fire lane alley that um they park in, and this is my gate, trying to protect myself.

These are people walking and don't understand that at any second, kids over here that this is a pedestrian and vehicular lane, and trucks can come by any minute.

And there could there will be a tragedy one day.

But um again, this is just a snippet of this of what I've endured for nearly two years on my own property, harassment, intimidation, targeted enforcement.

Thankfully, a judge recognized the seriousness of the conduct and granted me a temporary restraining order.

Without that protection, those who turned a blind eye to this behavior would have but emboldened the bad acts to escalate.

My husband and I have been the subject of false rumors and vilification to a point that community members regularly tell me how I'm being trashed.

I've been made to fear for uh our safety and the safety of others on my own property for over three years.

I was told directly the people who control this town hate you and want you gone.

And I want to be very clear, I'm not going anywhere.

So I'm only asking the city to ensure fairness, transparency, and safety for all property owners rather than in allowing certain individuals to weaponize city processes and association authority against those they don't like.

And Mr.

Kim, if you need to send a violation, send it to Erica Nicholas, because if you look at that deed, I'm a hundred percent owner of that property.

Mr.

Bender doesn't need to get a violation, send it to me.

Thank you, Erica.

Do we have any further public comment?

Okay, seeing none, I am gonna move on to item two, the consent agenda.

Two point run one consideration approval of the Tuesday, August 19th, 2025 technical review meeting minutes and the Tuesday, September 9th, 2025 regular city council meeting agenda.

Item 4.1, Mayor's comments and reports.

Um the uh just the one announcement there.

We the city is gonna be doing a 9-11 ceremony on Thursday morning at Fire Station 1 at 9 o'clock.

Um that's all I have.

Any uh oh, Councilwoman Gallow.

Yeah, I have a little bit.

Please be a little patient with me.

Um, first off, I would like to congratulate Austin Wetzel as our new CEO of the Chamber of Commerce.

So uh we're really happy to have him as part of the team.

So let's congratulate him and thank him for being stepping up to the plate.

Um one of the the things I did wanna to mention was uh last meeting there was an issue about um and you may or may not know about the rat situation in a certain uh neighborhood.

So I just wanna kind of let you know because uh what we hear is that oh, the city isn't doing anything, the city isn't doing anything.

I just want to let you know that within two weeks, they've got 261 rats.

That's not counting what may have been thrown in the trash that we're not aware of.

Um six dumpsters worth of trash has been picked up, and um the pool has been drained.

So I do want to put some special thanks out there.

Um interim chief Tracy Fales for getting the traps and getting them out there for for um for the animal control, um, extra efforts, uh, animal control, Joe Masias and his team, which is Salvanel Melkor, Esteban Andrade, Alex Queller and Quaya, and uh Walter Dalton.

Um also I wanna let no code enforcement.

So Simon Kim, Alicia Levitt, so thank you.

Um, Alicia Levitt, who has been actually over at the house and helping her clean and doing quite a bit over there.

So I wanna uh give her a special shout out.

Um, Ben, is it Russo?

Ben Russa when I give you a chance.

Um I also want to let you know that we had mentioned our county commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick has stepped up to the plate.

Um she's been working with Simon, and um what she has done is she's offered all kinds of help.

So we've gotten tried to get senior services over there.

We've gotten food, so our Meals on Wheels has been going over there taking care of the families, uh the the ladies that are there.

Um Marilyn has also offered some help with the electricity.

Uh the the challenge that we have over there is that the rats have eaten through the wires, so there's no electricity, so there's no air conditioning, so the windows are open and the rats are in and out of the house.

It's not true.

There is no air conditioning there, that is true.

Oh, oh good.

I I I do want to reach out and say thank you very much.

And I don't know, and I don't know if that's you, but I want to thank you for all the cooperation that we had from um the homeowners in that house because they've worked very, very hard to get this all taken care of.

So is that you?

Oh, um, in a second.

So I do want to say thank you because you have been you have been awesome.

You have worked with Alicia, and um, you know, we hear everybody gets all upset in the neighborhood, but you have you and your family have really stepped up to help you and your mom.

Is that your mom?

Have stepped up and and it she's been out there every day working and cleaning and getting this stuff done.

So I want to say thank you.

And in two weeks, a lot has happened.

Um so uh, and if you need any other assistance, we're happy to help.

The other thing I wanted to say was thank you to Travis Anderson and Zach Rob Robe Robinson, uh, because we had a couple issues at the animal shelter and some issues with the building, and Zach was able to catch it with the rain and all kinds of stuff.

So I want to thank you guys also for what you're doing.

So overall, I just wanted to say thank you to the city to all those working.

Thank you to you for um being so open and cooperative, and and it's not always easy.

So thank you.

And that's it.

Thank you, Councilwoman Gallo.

Uh Councilman Ennis.

I just got a couple of things.

Uh, number one is again, Mike, thank you for that uh presentation that you made if he's still here.

Uh 9-11 on September 11th.

I was teaching classes, September 12th.

I was flying into Washington, DC, circling a Pentagon, so I know exactly what that's all about being recalled back to active duty.

Secondly, um, the mesquite veteran center uh on November 19th is gonna be, I know it's ways down the road here, but we're gonna be holding a blood drive uh from 9 to 3 p.m.

at the mesquite veteran center.

So come on down there and get signed up if you feel like getting stuck and stabbed and everything else, and we welcome you to come down and participate in the fun activities.

I'm sure that we will have goodies there.

Kelly's running this for me, so I'm sure she'll have goodies there if I know Kelly.

Thank you.

Thank you, Councilman.

Any other council members?

Any staff reports?

Okay, let's see none.

We will move on to item 5.1.

Consideration of the introduction of bill B25-0 and 4 to amend Title IX, Unified Development, Chapter 7, Area and Bulk Regulations, Article 0.

Or 0.

Um 00.

Professional Business Office PB, subsection 9 70 2.

The use table for PB zone by adding all uses permitted in the multifamily low density MF2 district and mixed uses permitted uses in order to comply with assembly bill number 241.

Thank you, Mayor, City Council.

Uh and then it will be effective uh on October 1st, 2025.

This bill requires each county or city government body to adopt an ordinance allowing by right, the development of multifamily housing or mixed use project uh that include residential uses on property currently zoned for commercial use.

However, this is not to regulate privacy and ours.

Key fact here is our zoning is cumulative.

So uh PB uh offer uh allows the uh office uses but do not allow residential development.

CR1 allows commercial uses and all uses permitted in the PB district.

On the other hand, the CR2 allows the same, uh, but it also allows residential uses of the MF3 district.

So CR2 allows residential development currently.

Uh CR3 allows uh the commercial uses and then all uses permitted in the PB district.

So residential development is not allowed here.

So if we want to follow the state new regulations, we need to actually amend the PB zone, which is uh OPC uses zone to allow uh residential development and mixed uses.

So this is what uh I'm proposing.

Um the all uses permitted in the MF2 district.

Uh it should be permitted uses in the PB zone, and mixed uses should be permitted uses uh in the PB zone.

The so step uh recommend the city council introduce bill number B25-014 by short title at the today's meeting and set the public hearing date for September 23, 2024.

Thank you.

So that should read 2025, correct?

2025.

Okay.

Uh any questions from council?

Okay, any public comment on item 5.1.

Okay, seeing none, I will ask for a motion.

Councilman Parish.

I move to accept um item 5.1 bill B 25-014.

Councilman Ennis.

All second time.

Call for the vote.

Parish Aye, NSI.

Okay, motion passes.

Item 6.1, consideration of architectural and site plan reviews case number ASR-25-009.

Falcon Ridge Driving Range, proposing construction of a golf driving range, 13.52 acres at 875 West Pioneer Boulevard.

APN 001-18-501-004 in low density and multi-family MF2 zone in the Falcon Ridge PUD.

Thank you, Mayor and City Council.

The site is located northeast quadrant of the intersection between Horizon and Pioneer.

And the site is about 900 by 400.

Uh so uh this dimension 855 doesn't include the T box area.

Uh and according to the American Society of Gulf Course Architects, this is the uh minimum required the full size range.

Uh and uh that allows 25 golfers can use it at once uh while providing for reasonable side safety blockers, possibly using nets.

Uh this is the current site.

You can see the uh the south side, which is on your left.

So in resert uh the African proposed uh five 550 feet long 12-foot-high uh fence here.

Uh it's a chain fence, I believe.

So I I'm not a golfer, so I don't know how the bore works.

So I used uh this uh uh software uh that shows the uh shooting trajectory and is for the amateur uh players.

And uh according to this calculation, that actually that trajectory follows the contour of the uh what is the existence right now, and uh most of the uh straight boards will cut uh by the 12-foot high uh the fence.

However, it does not mean that the every entire 100% will be get caught.

Um and uh uh this is another issues, traffic circulation issues for the golf cart.

Uh we found that uh uh developer was going to utilize the sidewalk next to the uh pioneer, uh not yeah, pioneer, and uh use it for the golf cart uh traffic.

So we had the further discussion, and this is the uh developer's uh proposer.

So there is uh at the on the north side of it, uh, there is a uh trails that was I believe it it was uh previously designed for golf cart uh traffic because it is connected to the parking lot, and uh that is belong to the golf course, so they are going to utilize it by extending uh a little bit of portion on the eastern area.

So uh traffic will be uh separated from the pedestrian traffic.

We haven't actually had a discussion anything about lighting issues.

I didn't see on the side plan about lighting, but uh lighting sources shall be shielded from the neighboring residential properties, and the graphic shows what would be the impact.

So step recommend the city council review uh architecture and side plan case number ASR-25-09 and approve the site plan with the following conditions.

Uh proposed 12-foot chain link fence is acceptable, uh, but uh uh I would request the waiver of liability and indemnification uh in favor of the city uh shall be signed and submitted to the city.

And any conflicts between pedestrian and group carts shall be avoided, and lighting sources shall be shielded from the neighboring residential properties.

Um after approving this, uh court enforcement will watch if the there will be stray boards uh along the uh streets because that that's the load that uh myself and my wife go to Walmart.

So thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Kim.

Uh Councilwoman Gallow.

So I I have an issue with this.

Um I know we said 12 foot is okay.

Okay is not good enough, in my opinion, especially on a major street like that, number one.

Number two, I saw something that there was a waiver so that the city would not be responsible.

Well, that's kind of ridiculous if somebody is killed or somebody's gets hit with a golf ball and hits somebody or runs into another car.

I feel that that's a very major uh thoroughfare in our city, and I don't think 12 foot is is big enough, high enough.

There's no reason why that fence cannot be higher.

So I'm not for this.

I think we have to protect our citizens because even though it catches the majority of the balls, all it takes is one.

One to go through somebody's windshield, having been with someone and know with people that have been hit by golf balls, and then good luck trying to find out who it was that hit it, and then try to get weak and get compensated for your car, your accident, etc.

So I think we need a higher fence, number one.

Um, and then we're no longer gonna use the public sidewalk, correct?

For golf carts?

Because people walk there, one there, walk there, so that will no longer be.

Okay, that's good.

Because that was also an issue.

So thank you.

Mayor Councilman Innis.

Oh, okay.

When I hold on, hold on one second, Karen.

We'll have you next.

Um, I I'm gonna agree with Patty on this one.

Councilwoman Gallo, I'm sorry.

Um I I live on the seventh fairway of that golf course, and I have a huge 25-foot net, and I can show anybody all the dings in my wall of my house, because it doesn't matter how good of a golfer you say you are when someone does a 90-degree slice on a 60-degree wedge, it's gonna hit something.

I do not want to be that person going down Pioneer Boulevard with a ball ball with a golf ball coming through my windshield, and so I'm gonna agree with uh councilwoman Gallup on this one.

Councilwoman Fielding.

Thank you, Mayor.

So I'm on the other side of this.

So you know, if you drive from the Virgin River at Pioneer, there's the OASIS golf course right there, hole 17.

Their fence is like what their little wall is like three foot right there, and they're using high flight golf balls.

So what I understand, talking to people who have driving ranges, they use a low flight golf ball, so it doesn't act like a golf ball when you're on a driving range, and that's what my understanding is talking to everybody that I've researched on driving ranges in the last few weeks, so it's kind of different, but in the interim, we're gonna restrict them on pioneer all the way down there if you have a high wall when we're not restricting the oasis golf course on hole 17 to do one.

Um, because I I've I've honestly driven up that road, and I've seen golf balls bouncing the road in front of me.

So I just think we need to figure out what we're gonna do because if we're gonna make sure that this driving range up there has a higher fence, then what are we gonna do back there for the way it's golf course at hole 17 pioneer and hardy wings?

So that's all I have to say because it's we got to figure out what we're gonna do because we can't do one and not do the others.

Thank you, councilwoman.

Uh councilman Wandels.

If we haven't signed that waiver, does that take all responsibility away from the city?

If we approve it, are we still liable?

So the way the waiver works is that if the city were to be sued at some point, like a golf ball flies over, somebody gets hurt, the city is named in the lawsuit.

That the the owner would uh indemnify the city, so they would have to pay for the defense of the lawsuit if there is any liability, then they'd have to pay for that as well.

But it doesn't prevent a lawsuit, that can always happen.

And you're gonna send them down number 18 car path to get to the driving range because that's just about as dangerous as people driving on pioneer.

And I I agree with what everyone's saying.

I agree with what Karen said also.

There are 17 is not the only hole in Mesquite.

There are holes all around mesquite where you could hit a road with a bad shot.

I'm not gonna name them all, but I've played every course in this town, and I can tell you that streets get hit when golfers play golf.

We do need to protect the the one thing I I struggle with on this driving range, is that on a normal round of golf, like hole 17 on the oasis, four people are going to be warmed up, hitting their t-shots.

You're gonna have four t-shots every 10 minutes, but you go to a driving range, you're gonna have somebody with 50 or 100 balls that are just hitting them consecutive, and if you put 25 people on that driving range, it's not a matter of if the road's gonna get hit.

I don't know if you could build a high enough net not to.

I have a friend that lives quite a ways off the T-box of number seven on the left side.

They have a 25-foot fence, they've increased it to 30 feet, and they still get hit.

So I don't know what the answer is.

I I truly don't, but the driving range is already there.

My my biggest concern is how do we protect the city?

Period.

Any other questions for can from council?

See none?

Here, oh councilwoman filling.

So, you know, I can't think about big shots up there in St.

George, and I know it's a huge company, and it's right on the freeway, and yes, they have higher fences, like so high net fences.

And nobody's ever said, hey, are the are the ball golf balls going to go over that fence and go on the freeway?

And I haven't heard any of those accidents yet.

But I'm just kind of if we if they build a fence, and I'm I'm good with that.

And like I said before, um talking to Mr.

Wurston, they're low flight balls.

They're like not the golf range, long drive golf balls that you're gonna that you're gonna use.

They're they don't go as far.

It's just a driving practice.

So thank you.

Thank you, councilwoman.

Councilman Parrish.

Okay, time for me to chime in.

Frank, can you put up the or Simon?

Can you put up the uh one of those site plans?

I need the one with uh um with the red on it that shows where uh not that one, not that one.

There's another one that okay.

Let's use that one.

Um right now this measures 327 feet to the berm with the T box located where it's at.

Um the targets are going to be over on the high side.

In other words, the top side of so in other words, the guys will be hitting golf balls away from the road.

Now go to the one go to the site plan that has the fence and the trees because you failed to mention the trees, and I think that's pretty important, also right there.

That one.

Um we're gonna have three to four rows of trees, which was agreed upon by the developer.

Um, granted, these are not gonna be mature trees when they're put in.

I I get that.

Um, they're not gonna stop any golf balls next week.

Um, but with proper watering and fertilizing and stuff like that, within a year, year and a half, we're gonna have a pretty darn good screen there between the fence and the trees.

So in my mind with the waiver, I think this is a go.

Thank you.

Thank you, councilman.

Any other questions from council?

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

Jeff Reynolds, I think this design of a driving range is one of the most fascinating things I've seen in Mesquite.

First of all, 12 feet, that's about putter distance.

You know, if they're gonna put that in there and put a driving range in, make them put in nets like they have along uh I-15 up at St.

George.

Uh, otherwise, and I don't care whether they sign a waiver or not, whether you waive liability, you're still liable, and you're still gonna have to jump through the hoops, and if they don't pay, they can come back on you, and all sorts of things can cause different problems with our city.

And with a 12-foot fence, you're gonna get 15 cars a day hit.

You're gonna, I mean, it's one thing when you have a uh you know, a fairway like like uh Paul was talking about where you hit four shots, and I well, I could hit all sorts of streets, but um you can't you can't allow them to do this.

This is dangerous, you know, and and 25 feet on a driving range when you got and who goes to driving range, people that need to increase and and do better on their on their shots.

I hit a lot of them off the heel of the club and off the toe out that way, and you know, uh a hundred yards that's not that's not right.

This is this is a really dumb idea, and and I hope you guys, if you'd let them put in a driving range there, uh I know they put a lot of money into it, but this should have been taken care of before they put that in because it is a hazard, and uh you know, I see the city getting sued anyway.

So thanks, Jeff.

Look, I wasn't even planning on coming up.

So I'm a duck golfer.

My name is Raylan Schiffano for the record, and not with Nordic Beach on this one.

Um, I'm a golfer, and I think this is a fabulous driving range, but again, we need nets.

I mean, you guys have identified an attractive nuisance.

I mean, you know it's gonna hurt someone, you know somebody's gonna get killed.

So the city's already admitting there's a liability there.

So I think that as you know, taxpayers, we don't want to see anybody killed.

We don't want our citizens to be killed on the driving range.

I miss all the time.

I'm a pretty good driver, but I can drive the the ball 200 yards.

So I think that we need to just be very cautious.

I think the nets on like the the other golf place is perfect.

Um chain link fence, those balls are gonna go right through it.

So I just ask that we put some protection up for that pioneer boulevard because it is it's gonna be ugly at some point.

I agree with Patty.

Thanks.

Thanks, Rayleigh.

Nick Elfinsetti, skate, uh mayor council.

Uh 12 foot high fence, maybe for a putt-putt golf.

I think that's about it.

Now, the question I have is if they don't want to put up the nets, why are there nets at the top of Kitty Hawk?

What are those nuts?

What were they put in for?

What are they protecting?

Anyone know?

Yeah.

Sure.

Yeah.

So the nets on Kitty Hawk protect the uh airport from golf balls on their short range.

So the driving range they have is shorter and narrower than this driving range right here.

One thing also to keep in mind is the whether it goes or it doesn't.

The we keep saying 12 feet high, but can you go to the site plan that shows the contours?

So keep in mind, and you get it.

So the when you look at the T-box, think of that as an elevation of zero.

All right.

Each one of those lines you're looking at is two feet in height above that.

So as you're going and hitting from the T-box, by the time that you're hitting to the say the middle of that, you're two, four, six, eight, you can count how many the ground elevation is actually higher than that, which adds to that 12-foot high.

So by the time they get to the middle of that, take that 12-foot high fence plus the height of the berm onto that.

So if we're talking a 35-foot net, you're practically at the 35-foot elevation when you're hitting that middle part right there, when you take into account the elevation of the of the driving range along with that.

So when we were looking at that, that's what we were looking at as long as it's not a level piece of ground.

And I know that we are talking about some of those golf holes, and I know that seven, you're elevated above the fairway, and you're hitting, and it's very easy to go over there.

That's one of the unique pieces on this particular piece of ground, is as it's rising up.

So don't think of it just as the 12-foot height of the floor.

What's the height of the burns?

I think that it is uh three to four feet.

You can see at each of the where it makes the bend as it's coming.

I'm sorry, what that makes it like 18 feet.

So three feet plus 15 feet.

No, but it's going uphill, is what I'm saying.

So by the time that the relation to the T box of where you're hitting where that ball is landing, add the elevation difference of that going up the hill.

So we all know as we're driving to Walmart, we're climbing that hill.

That's what the golf ball also has to do.

It's climbing up.

You have the low compression golf balls.

You have the height of so you're looking at the elevation difference in addition to the 12-foot height.

And that's where I'm saying by the time that you get to that location where more people are going to hit that, you're looking at the the true elevation is gonna be 35 feet to the top of that in relation to the T-ball.

Okay, so you're assuming people are hitting them straight as opposed to not.

I'm just saying, so they'd have to hit them straight for that to be even be in effect.

Um, and and how are you gonna be assured that they're using low compression balls?

I believe uh Rob, would you like to come and address that?

Is the applicant?

Yes, sorry.

Yeah, um, you know, this is all fine, the numbers, balls.

Let's put the wind into this.

We get some windy days here, and people are gonna hit them harder.

They're gonna try to get further, they're gonna try to make those targets.

There's gonna be bets on the targets, whatever.

Somebody's gonna swing their tail off with a big stick, try to get it even further.

Okay, and I just say, you know, if we look around, we're protecting airplanes, but yet we don't want to protect the people driving in a car.

Now there's apartment buildings that are up there at Kitty Hawk, and I understand it coming down in a plane coming off the runway.

Yeah, okay.

But then again, too, is how much traffic is going up and down Pioneer Boulevard.

And like you say, those cars coming down the hill, they're coming down at a pretty good clip, and they have a ball coming at them at what's the average speed of the ball?

Anyone know?

120 miles an hour, and you're doing 35.

Oh, that's not the pub.

When it hits, when it lands, it's not doing high.

Okay, what's it doing when it hits a car?

I have no idea.

I just say I think we need some nuts, and I think we need them.

If we look at everything else that we're protecting, let's protect the citizens of mesquite.

And again, I like to see the thing go, but let's do some protection.

Thank you.

Thank you, Nick.

Mayor Whipple and City Council.

My name's Rob Wurston.

I'm the general manager at Falcon Ridge Golf Course.

Um first of all, I just like to say we're not interested in hurting anybody.

That's not our goal.

That wasn't the purpose of this.

We put a lot of thought into this.

And so when we built it, we built it as um Mr.

Parrish said from going uphill.

Um the berm um is 46 feet from the T box.

You add 12 feet to that, you're almost 60 feet.

It's not 12 feet, it's not 18 feet, it's almost 60 feet.

We are on the hook side of the golfer, the right-handed golfer, which means 90% of people slice the ball, which means it goes to the right.

Very few are going to go to the left.

Um will they go to the left?

Yes, they will.

But that's that's why we thought about instead of putting it next to the clubhouse and hitting it the other way.

We we went up.

And Mr.

Annis, the reason your house gets hit so many times is because they are like a hundred feet above your your house, and you're on the the right side.

And you were so elevated that you know, as soon as they hit it, they're over the fence.

They're they're starting over the fence.

We're not there.

We're starting but way below the fence.

And for them to get that far.

We feel that we've taken more precautions than any golf course in the town to protect the road.

There are a lot of roads out there that can be hit by golf balls, but we've taken more precautions than anybody else has.

We want safety as well.

But we didn't feel that we needed to put a net up.

It's first of all, it's the nets are obtrusive.

They're they get holes in them with wind, and as far as the wind goes, the prevailing wind is from the southwest, which means that it's coming.

If we're standing on this side and we're hitting this way, the wind's coming this way.

We took all these things into consideration.

This is not something we just thought we'd just put up and hopefully it flew.

We put a lot of thought into it.

So I just want everybody to know that it's not just a 12-foot fence.

By the time you get to the 200 yard mark, you're up 60 feet.

Thank you.

Thank you, Rob.

Rob, oh, can I ask you a question?

When people go out to hit balls, are you gonna make them sign a waiver at that time?

So they're aware that they're liable if they hit it on the street, or you're just gonna give them balls and have them go swing away.

Every golf course has them sign a waiver because every golf course in this town except Wolf Creek has homes.

So you sign a waiver as soon as you get in your golf cart that you're responsible for your golf ball.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

Yeah, Councilman Parish?

Yeah, Rob.

Yeah.

Um, I guess the height of the fence seems to be the major sticking point from the crowd and questions from council.

Is there any way we can increase that a little bit to satisfy everybody and make it high you want it?

I don't know.

And how high is it supposed to be to protect?

I mean, I don't know.

I don't know if there's any specifications, but I mean, if we went from 12 to 24, that would get you up to 70 to 75 feet.

So that other 12 feet would make a difference.

That's what I'm saying.

I don't know.

How high do you how high do you guys want the fence?

I mean, we thought there was feet.

There is concern amongst the council and the the taxpayers that it's 12 feet is not high enough.

So I'm just asking, can is it a possibility to go to 24 feet?

I can take it back to the ownership and ask them, and we can see if they would do.

But I'm sure that he's going to say, if we're going to do all this and put all this money into it that we have, that's you know, what are they going to do with all the other golf courses that that don't have any fences up with you know, like number one in the canyons has no fence on the left side, you know, and that's that runs right next to a road, you know, 17 two feet on the on the oasis.

That runs right next to Pioneer.

I mean, I can go on and on.

But like I said, we have taken more precautions than any other golf course in this town to protect the citizens.

Any other questions?

Thank you.

Thank you, Rob.

Um, and we are still in the public comment portion.

So if anybody has public comment, please come forward.

Um Edward Gasick.

Um Mr.

Mayor.

Um, it seems like it's not rocket science to uh put a bunch of golfers on the T box now and and close the road down and see if anybody can hit the road.

Just have them try to hit the road and see if it's possible and and what the trajectory take to a site visit.

Thank you.

Thank you, Edward.

Ben Martinson, I would take that challenge.

Um and I am sure I could hit that road because I've always been above average.

At least that's what my mom told me.

Um, and I do hit the ball left when I drive it, so that's that's my fault, and I'm not a very good golfer.

But as I was looking, I just looked up.

I just looked up on Perplexity AI, and they talk about the height of nets.

Not chain link fence, but nets on driving ranges for a standard driving range, they say 45 to 65 feet on the height.

That's not all for a country club, high risk height, they recommend 125 feet, and for maximum commercial, they say up to 200.

So that's why you see big shots or whatever their new name is.

They've got almost a 200 foot high net all the way around.

They've strategically installed that because of their liability purposes.

No, I wouldn't take the challenge to try to hit I-15 from big shots because I can't drive it that far, even if the net's not there.

But the recommendation, I the you've you've done a good job in discussing.

I'm not against the driving range.

I really think it's a it's a necessity for Falcon Ridge.

Um, but we need to be smart in how we do it.

There's been comments made about other golf courses and stuff like that.

Yeah, we haven't done that in the past, but we need to start somewhere, and I think this is a good place to start with whatever that is, and I think it we need to take into account the berm, the rise, the tea box, all of that, and make sure that overall protection height is whatever it's decided upon, whether that's 55, 65, 75 feet, whatever that might be, but the overall protection.

So the net at the top of the berm could be a 20 foot net.

Um, but as it goes down, that needs to stay consistent with the height of protection for the driving range.

That's it.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ben.

I'm Shelly.

I don't golf.

I don't know the name of the last name, Shelley.

Christensen with an S-E-N.

Thank you.

I don't golf.

I don't know the name of the golf course I've lived next to for four years.

Excuse me, sorry.

I live at the top of Chaparral, uh above Eureka.

The golf course before the gates comes down.

There's a pond.

They come down, I think what's called a fairway.

They turn, they go over the road, they come up onto the top of a hill.

My house is here, the hill is here, they putt, drive, hit that way.

And I get golf balls in my yard.

I'm behind the hole.

I get golf bars in my yard.

So that's what I have to say regarding golf balls.

I don't know how they hit them, how hard they hit them, what their drive is called, what the golf course is called, but they're in my yard.

Thank you.

Thank you, Shelley.

Seeing no one else come forward, I'll turn it back over to council.

Councilman Ennis.

Bob, I'm not opposed.

I I'm all for it.

I really am.

However, um, I think that if you would be willing to take this back to your owners before I make a motion on this, if you would be willing to take this back to your owners, I'd be more than happy to table this and come back and talk about it and see if they'd be willing to go up a little bit in height.

Um, I just I just hold on one sec, Karen.

I just don't want to be that guy.

Sorry.

I I'm calling me paranoid, whatever you want to call me.

Uh I've been beaned.

I mean, I know you and you're right about my house.

I've been beaned in the back of the head with a golf ball, and um, you know, and it knocked me out.

Usually when I pass out, I'm drinking that I it didn't happen.

That I it didn't happen.

So I would be, and I don't know about the rest of the council, but I'd be willing to table it if you'd be willing to take it back to the owners and see what they say, and then we could reapproach it.

I think it's actually higher.

That's not the line.

What you want to show you, how high?

Come on up here, Rob.

Um council when while he's coming up, councilwoman fielding.

I'm sorry, did Rob have something to say?

Uh he's coming if you have a question for him.

I I would be happy to hear what he had to say before I had my comment.

Okay.

We'll let him talk.

Did you miss all that before?

Yeah, probably everything you said just very um I I need to know how I mean I I can go back and say they want another, they'll be happy to approve this with this many feet.

I I mean, I to go back and say they want to make a higher.

I mean, that's not really that's ambiguous.

I need to know what you're looking.

I would suggest going back and saying 12 feet in addition to 24 feet.

24 feet.

24 feet.

So you're looking at making it 74.

I that's just a number.

I you know, I you come up here and put up, you know, put up numbers for the nets and all that um on commercial driving ranges and clubs, and so you know, I'm all for this.

I really am.

And there's two other things.

This is a chain link fence, but it's not a normal chin-link chain link fence.

Golf balls will not go through this, it's too small.

It's like a one-inch, it's not a normal chain link fence, it's smaller.

So golf bottles are not going to go through the chain link fence.

These are limited flight, they're not low flight, they're called limited flight golf balls, which means it reduces the amount of distance that they go.

So we have purchased those limited flight golf balls, so that reduces the amount of distance that they go as well.

So they're not going to go near as far as a regular golf ball either.

We've taken that precaution as well.

All right, councilwoman Fielding.

Thank you, Mayor.

I actually um be sighting with um Mr.

Ennis.

Um, you know, if we could get a few more feet, um, and that fence, and I don't know if it's actually advantageous to a chain link or uh a green fence is gonna be best.

Um, but I would like to actually table this until we can get this figured out um for the dragon range.

Any other questions from council?

Councilman.

So it's sounds like all he's asking express to give him a definitive number to go and ask, and they could say no, and you'd come back and say they said no.

I understand that, or I don't know, I don't know how we're going to address all the other courses, and I don't I don't know if starting somewhere is the right answer, but Kevin, you have golfed with more bad golfers than anyone else here, and you also hit the ball further than the rest of us, and and I'm pretty sure you could hit the ball over that fence anytime you wanted to, but what would be a realistic height to make a bad golfer unable to consistently hit it on to Miss Pioneer?

Councilman Parish, yeah.

Okay.

Number one, we've got to establish a height above the T box.

I think that's imperative.

I uh Ben Martinson pretty much said it.

So let's just throw out there 75 feet above the T box.

That's pretty dang high.

I mean, uh top golf up there.

I think that's a 80 to 100 feet, maybe top golf up in St.

George.

If we're 75 feet with limited flight, and I don't know if I need to explain what a limited flight golf ball is.

Number one, it doesn't go as high.

Number two, it doesn't go as far.

They are basically not worth even hitting, to be honest with you.

Um being 75 feet, somebody would have to hit that probably 100 feet high.

And I can guarantee you there's probably only 25 or 30 people in the Mesquite that can hit a golf ball 100 feet high.

The pros only hit at 120 to 140.

So I'm I'm just saying if we can get something that elevation-wise, the top of the fence is 80 feet.

I think we're gonna be golden.

So I'm gonna propose to council that if we go 75 to 80 feet high, that's the magic number to prevent golf balls from getting out onto Pioneer Boulevard.

And how far from the T box would you want to hit that height?

So people are going to be trying to hit it to the west.

Okay, so they're going to try to hit it where?

To the west.

Well, no, they're gonna be able to do that.

They're gonna be heading towards the north.

Northwest.

The target the targets are gonna be on the north side of the driving range.

Okay.

Right.

Is that still true, Rob?

It is.

We're using the left side of the driving range for lessons and the right side, which is farther away from the road for play.

Okay.

So using this sketch that's up here, it's 856 feet.

So to put that in the yards, that's 300 yards.

There's nobody in Mesquite that hits the ball 300 yards, a regular ball 300 yards.

Say nothing about a limited flight.

There used to be a few of us that hit a 300, but not anymore.

Um what I'm saying is if we can get 75 feet to the top of the fence, we're gonna be golden with a limited flight balls.

There'll be no golf balls on Pioneer Boulevard, and I'll stick my reputation on it.

Thanks.

Any other questions from council?

Thanks, Rob.

Just so I understand.

So we're at about 60 feet now, so you just need another 15 feet, is what you're saying.

So if I go out there with a transit, which I know how to run, I know how to run a transit.

Yes, you do.

And uh, if I set that up on the T-box, I can measure the top of that fence.

So, yes, if you can get 75 feet, I'll be happy, and I think majority of the taxpayers will be happy.

I'll take it back.

Thank you thanks, Rob.

Yeah, we'll need to make a motion for that.

So, cancelman Innis.

Well, I'll go ahead and make a motion to table uh the site plan review case number ASR 25009.

Uh, then when Mr.

Wurston gets back with us with the answers from his owners, then we can bring this back before council.

I'll second that.

Okay, we have a second call for the vote.

Parishai.

Galloway.

NSI.

Motion passes.

Item 6.2 consideration conditional use permit case number C UP-25-002.

Gunderson Media proposing conversion of the existing non-conforming billboard 14 by 48 at 1100 West Haven Lane, APN 002-24-501-021.

Three point three 36.79314 West in Parks, Recreation, and Open Space, PROS zone in the Sunset Greens PUD to a digital sign and electronic reader boards.

Thank you, Mayor.

Thank you, Mayor, and City Council.

Uh the uh site is located site, um, it's a billboard is located uh southeast of uh I-15.

And uh it's about 600 feet away from the existing sunset greens, and uh it is on the Casablanca Gold Coast.

This is the example they they want to convert into this is a digital uh the sign.

And uh it we uh there is a review criteria in MMC 9-10-12.

Uh location being the issue, it's gotta be within the 250 feet uh from the I-15, and must must not be permitted if proposed assigned location is within 500 feet measured in any direction from residential zoning district.

So it is the right outside of the right uh I-15 right away and the 620 feet away from the closest residential property.

Another uh criteria is the size that shouldn't be uh larger than 672 square feet, and this side this billboard is exactly 672 square feet, and it's gonna have uh automatic diming technology.

And it's gotta have uh automatic dimming technology, and I had a discussion with the applicant, the applicant agreed, and uh uh there'll be the automatic dimming technology uh for the night nighttime diming.

And also brightness shall not be uh greater than 0.3 foot candle uh above the ambient light uh light as measured from 259 feet in this case.

Uh one foot candle is uh one feet away from actual uh one candle, so uh 0.3 foot uh at the 259 feet is uh quite uh dim.

And if it is uh uh we are talking about 670 uh no 620 feet away, uh that'll be uh quite dim uh dimmer than we thought.

So after review, uh step found that the applicant will acquire, require the state permit that ensures the federal regulation after acquiring this permit.

And the proposed change would not be detrimental to the safety and welfare, and it will not materially damage or negatively impact other properties in the vicinity, and there'll be no negative impacts toward the other properties in the vicinity.

So step recommends the city council hold the public hearing and approve the conditional use permit uh case number C UP-25-002.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Kim.

Any questions from council?

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

Please come forward if you have any.

Seeing none, I'm gonna close the public hearing and turn it back over to council for a motion.

Councilman Parish.

Thank you, Mayor.

Make a motion to uh approve permit case number CUP dash 25-002.

Councilman Ennis.

Second that.

Okay, we'll call for the vote.

NSI.

Okay, motion passes.

Item 6.3, consideration of the tentative map case number TM-25-007 LV to approve the subdivision of 18.7 acres of land into 23 residential lots located at 675 West Pioneer Boulevard, APN number 001-08-401-019 in the general commercial CR2 and low density multifamily MF2 zone within the Mesquite Vistas PUD.

Mr.

Kim.

Thank you, Mayor City Council.

Um honestly, they need to change the title, uh, the name of the subdivision.

So I cannot pronounce it right.

Every time I'm getting I was guessing too.

So uh they have about 5% common lands, and the entire property will be subdivided into 23 lots.

Uh it is actually about two-thirds of the property is currently zoned for CR2 commercial, and uh about one-third uh has been MF2, uh the multifamily uh development zone.

Um the property subdivision is located in the Muskie Vista uh PUD, but uh it went through the subdivision process only, not the POD process.

So uh this PUD exists privately, not in the city zoning.

Uh city just uh went through the help them getting through the subdivision process.

So it in this property is not in the Red Hills Commercial Center.

Uh approval letter from the Musk Vistas HOA is required in this case and received it.

I'm gonna show it to you later.

And subdivision is a non-age restricted, non-gated commercial interest community, and subdivision proposes total total 23 single-family lots, private interior routes, and commonly held open space elements on uh West Pioneer Boulevard.

Um proposed lot dimension conform to the city's zoning requirements, and uh uh the Musky pista because it it is not the PUD.

Um the they if you look at the CCNR, uh they they requires a setback uh barries per location.

Um the and then they said the 18 foot to the garage, but the city zoning requires 20 feet uh frontiard setback.

So building standards shall meet the city's zoning because it is more stringent.

This is the proposed and amended uh the subdivision.

It came actually yesterday, so we didn't have much time to review in this case, but uh uh it should meet our uh the uh the requirements, our review requirements.

So uh last standards uh miss the city standard and the density uh it missed the density standards too and circulation or interior street uh system will loop around and subdivision serving all the residential lots, and they're gonna uh provide the private road with the one side sidewalks.

Um there will be the uh 2025 beacle trips per day, uh which means 24 beacle trips per PM peak hour is a one hour 24 vehicles, so uh big cool trip generation will be minor, and there is a guidelines for the decision, and we went through the agency review meeting and uh uh also they acquired the never uh the permit letter from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Rosing Belly Disposer, and the uh viewboards and telephone company and Muskie Sanitary District, Rosin Belly Water District and Power District number five.

Uh so after the agency review meeting, uh my requirements to the developer was to acquire or HOA uh the approval letter and public works uh reviewed it and issued the letter uh then need to be met, and they submitted the revised one yesterday.

We're gonna have to review it.

Uh, this is the HOA letter.

Uh the in the end uh on the line in red that says uh Muskie Pista's community association would like to formally express that we have no objection to the proposed development.

We look forward to welcoming uh the 23 new homes and the future residents who will become part of uh our Bible community.

So with all that state recommends the city council approve the tentative map TM25-Jero 7 L of A subdivision, subject to the agency's recommendation and standard conditions.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Kim.

Any questions from council.

Seeing none, I'm gonna go ahead and open up the public hearing.

Carol Livingston, 710 Fountain View Line Lane.

Um we live on the Palmer Course right across from the big water tank where they're building this.

And the dust is a big problem.

And I think they're supposed to have dust control, but my windows are just completely completely covered with dust.

And I even took a water hose and went out from the put them in between the solar screens and the window and kind of wash them down.

Yogi comes twice a yeah, but uh I I have a problem with that, because another thing they're doing is they're building the hill up high, and this is all new dirt that's on this hillside.

And then they're on the other side by the women's tea box, they're dumping dirt down.

I don't know, it's on the golf course, but somebody needs to do something about putting water on the dirt, um, because it's all new dirt, and we need to have more dust control.

Another thing I just want to say is like Friday, Monday, Tuesday, there are like 10 huge machines up there, and nobody's working.

And I would imagine with all these machines, uh, they actually work about three days a week at the most.

And so I guess what I'm asking you is why don't they work five or six days a week to get these things done?

Uh because at this rate, it's gonna take a long, long time for them to ever get going with this project.

Thank you.

Thank you, Carol.

Hello, maybe we're mayor whipple and city council.

I'm Railine Shavana for the record of Nordic Beach.

Um, first of all, for the the homeowners that are in this HOA, they should know that they're in a lawsuit right now for annexation and subdivision.

So to add more people to this lawsuit that who knows what the result is going to be at the end of the day, they're gonna be responsible for if the association loses.

The association didn't ask the members for permission.

We have been asking and begging the city and everybody else for the information on this annexation, um, and are getting no information.

We're being told no.

In fact, they're we're we're denied the records, which in Nevada, that's a no-no.

You can't deny records to homeowners as you're approving projects.

We haven't had the right to vote, comment, or do anything in our HOA even.

So they're not supposed to be.

Our governing documents require 51% vote to annex in property.

This is the original property that can be annexed in without that vote.

This property is not on this list.

So, how are we annexing in property without the proper 51% vote of the people?

Then you add the fact that the developer wasn't even in control in 2003, so he was ended there.

There's a lot of history here that the city is not aware of, and I would caution you to slow down on these annexation approvals and get all the information.

All of these projects have not been approved by the members.

So we are just being told no, no, no, no, no, as the city is allowing them to do this.

We're asking you to pause so that we can have a chance to look at the records and vote as we're properly supposed to be doing.

So I've asked again yesterday for the stuff.

I was told that the C that Mesquites uh Vista City or their council has to bring the records to us.

Well, if we don't even know, how's the city know?

How's the city know about this before the membership does?

Because this hasn't been on our agenda.

It has not been voted on or talked about with the members.

They just put it on there and approve it without anybody's permission.

I know they're they're bringing it to Simon.

Simon may not know that, but it is required that we vote.

And HOA approval letter, so just anybody can sign off on that.

You don't check the governing documents to make sure that there's not we've been telling you we have to vote.

So we want you to table this until the membership has the right to get the records so that we can vote.

The other issues, the water.

We are paying $30,000 for a special assessment to bring water from one side of the highway to the other side.

That's just Nordic Beach's cost, not the other members of the association's cost.

So we need to slow down and make sure that we're doing everybody's voting rights or matter, and that we take in precaution.

The other one final thing.

I tried to get out of that.

I'm we're right across the street.

Red Hills is in there.

We're all in the same association together, the master association together.

So when he says Red Hills isn't involved, it is involved in that.

There's a nightclub there with 80 plus re police reports that are being reported every single day.

You know, there's tons of police reports that we've turned over to you.

So please pause on this and do not approve it.

Please table it.

Thank you, Raile.

Hi, Council uh Dylan Jensen with Mesquite Land Partners.

Um, I am the developer at Elevat subdivision.

Um to address a couple things that have been said, one, as far as dust, Mrs.

Livingston.

I'll I'm gonna give you my personal number to uh call me if there's ever issues.

We do have a dust control permit on the project, and uh if there's been issues so far, I apologize and we'll try to keep the dust down for sure.

Um my guys work four days a week, they work four tens, so yeah, we're not there Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

This last week was Labor Day, so we weren't there.

Um so uh as far as the annexation.

Uh I've seen the documents that prove the uh the property has been annexed into Mesquite Vista's HOA.

Um I acquired them from uh Colonial Property Management and uh, you know, uh I'm glad to be in the Mesquite Vistas HOA.

They clearly think I'm in their HOA as well.

Um we've done our due diligence on the project, and we uh think we have all the documentation here to let it pass tonight.

Um we did address Simon and Travis's uh comments from a previous uh it's not tech review meeting, but we reviewed the plans together.

They gave me some comments that were addressed.

This has been uh three weeks ago or so, maybe a month.

Um, but the the latest plan um shows basically some changes they requested be on the improvement plan set, but we wanted to get them on the tentative map for tonight's meeting.

Thanks, Dylan.

Seeing no one else step forward, I'm gonna go ahead and close the public hearing and ask for a motion, Councilman Wanless.

Oh, hold on.

We got another councilman.

Councilwoman Gowler.

So my question is we have two completely opposite comments here.

So are they part of the HOA?

Are they not part of the HOA?

Is it illegal?

Is it not legal?

Um, I know you were given some documents at the last meeting, and so I don't know how we can.

I just want to know what we're voting on.

I have reviewed it.

I I didn't see anything that was out of order.

Um, I can explain that in more detail, and it might help for Miss Schiffano as well.

Um, but under the C C and Rs, when it was initially created, they there was certain, I would call them islands that were part of the initial HOA.

That was in 1994.

And as part of the C C and R is it also established the total area of the of the um HOA.

And there's language in there that talks about you know, you can annex certain things in, you can take certain certain things out.

And um, I believe Ms.

Shafano's reference section 2.4, right?

That's the is that would you say the main kind of issue that goes because there's and I let me see, I've got it right here.

And I'll try to explain this the best I can.

This is kind of really detailed realist legal real estate stuff.

But um, section 2.4 of the CCNRs talks about expansion of the annexable area.

And it says in addition to the provisions of for annexation specified in 2.3, the annexable area may from time to time, subject to the provisions of a states and NRS, be expanded to include additional real property not as yet in it identified.

And then it does talk about that a majority of the total voting power of the master association has to be um obtained before you can expand the annexable area.

So let me try to explain what all that gobbledygook means, at least as far as um I see it as an attorney.

But when it was initially created, it created the total area that was potentially covered by the HOA.

And there's little spots in here again that could be put in, be taken out.

That was 1994, so 30 years ago.

So I imagine there's been all kinds of different things, things going in and out that would apply to the HOA that wouldn't.

That requirement that requires the total voting power of the Master Association, it's only required if we're gonna expand the actual area where there's property that was not even part of this at all.

Like, say some neighboring developer says, We really like your HOA, we want to be part of it.

We want to we want you to expand that area to include more, and there's rules about it, can't be more than 10 percent.

There's other issues related there.

So that um requirement for the total vote of the total HOA, it's only to expand that total area.

The property we're dealing with is already within the area, it's already part of the HOA.

Um, I didn't see anything reviewed anything that showed that it was been um de-annexed.

You can de-annex stuff out.

So, from what I saw based on my review, it's part of the HOA, it's within it.

That vote would only require if we're gonna add even to completely different properties that aren't already part of the HOA.

So, based on my review, again, it doesn't look like anything's out of order.

Thank you, Adam.

Councilman Wandless first of all, Dylan, thank you for working with these people.

And if you need to help a little bit more with dust control, take care of that.

I'd like to make a motion to approve tentative map case number TM 25-007.

Councilman Ennis?

No, second.

Okay, call for the vote.

Should I say okay?

Motion passes.

Item 6.4 consideration of appointment and ratification of Rebecca Lynn Shroop for the position of city manager of the city of Musquete has been pulled.

But if you would like to come and make public comment on item 6.4, please come forward.

Good evening, Mayor and Council members.

My name is Jeff Fritz, resident musquete.

And to establish my credibility for speaking on this topic or commenting on it, prior to relocating here, I had uh 10 years prior city government experience serving terms of both mayor and Illinois city of over 100 employees.

With that being said, I have some concerns over this candidate being considered for the city manager position.

With all due respect, although she has uh experience relevant to the position, I don't see it as being a good fit for our size city.

Paraphrasing from the city manager job description, the first qualification listed under a building is provide effective leadership, according to the activities of a large full service municipal organization under experience education and training.

Master's degree in public administration related field, which she has, eight years of municipal of experience municipal administration, including five years of experience as a manager administrator, or similar position in a municipal government, the same or larger size.

Well, formal education is undoubtedly a crucial component in the making of school city manager, is necessary to look beyond degrees and certifications to truly comprehend the Brussels requirements demanded by this role.

Although she has over 11 years of experience as administrator manager with three cities in the state of Minnesota, Clarkfield population 852.

Can be population 1,695, and Morris population 5,105.

She has no years of experience as manager administrator or similar position in municipal government, the same or larger size of the city of Mesquite.

As a matter of fact, the total population of those three cities combined, 7,652, doesn't even equal a third of Squite's population, and they're not full service missile organizations.

Furthermore, Mosquito is currently one of the fastest growing cities of the state of Nevada, and she has now experienced exponential growth and sympact with any of those three cities.

Therefore, I do not feel her combination of experience meets the standard of equivalent for our city manager position.

Additionally we all know that many of the pressing issues, concerns, and challenges of facing city today involve the police department.

Two of the three cities of Sketty has been employed with Clarkfield and Morris have no police department.

The other city can be as a police department consisting of three full-time officers.

She has no experience overseeing a full service unitized police department, anywhere near the size of Mesquite Police Department, not even the size of a shifter division of the department.

Lastly, one of the responsibilities of city managers to serve as a chief advisor, providing guidance to the mayor of the city council.

Due to the limited experience of this council, half the members serving less than less than a year, we need a strong city manager with deep understanding of the complexities of our city, the managerial competence to ensure effective governance of the site of the city, which her resume does not reflect this level of expertise.

Therefore, mayor, I ask you to reconsider your appointment as candidate and council members.

If he puts us forth, this appointment for ratification, you do your dual diligence prior to acting on it and making a decision.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um mayor Whipple and members of the council.

My name is Sue Tabor.

In the six years that I have lived in Mesquite, I can think of at least three different people holding the position for city administrator or of city administrator.

Your search for one now has caused me to think at length about the process and difficulty you face.

This led me to reflect on the support groups you rely on for referrals and advice from HR department and department heads.

You must trust their expertise and make your decisions accordingly.

And when the results are adverse, you're the front line that gets ostracized.

Anyway, realizing this, I began reflecting on the vastness of your support system, the differences of opinions, views, education, criteria, and experience and motives.

It occurred to me there is no way you could make everything or you could know everything that is going on in your house, Mesquite, Nevada.

I began to wonder how could you possibly know the best decision to make?

That was when I was reminded of something I read in the Bible.

As you know, I'm a pastor, and the Bible directs us to, as followers of God, to pray for those in leadership.

This is referring directly to those in your kind of position, a governmental leadership.

I realized what God was saying to me that I should support you, not that you do everything right, but God revealed that support means praying for the destruction of all quagmires, all confusion, and all distractions, releasing you to be influenced by God Himself for the best path forward for mesquite and its future generations.

This has transformed my thinking and my actions will follow.

As a pastor, as a pastor, I ask you to forgive the church for not supporting you in this way.

It's because we don't understand.

But we support you with complaints and criticisms instead.

So please forgive us.

And I will make every effort to encourage those I know and to influence them to this understanding.

And I look forward to seeing the wisdom of God working in your life.

Thank you.

Thank you, Pastor Sue.

Seeing no one else step forward, I'm going to move on to item 6.5.

Consideration and ratification of the collecting bargain collective bargaining agreement for the firefighters and fire captains from 7125 to 6328.

Thank you, Mayor and Council.

Our HR director is going to say something, but I want to say something first.

Just like with the regular union um negotiations, you know, this was an unusual process.

We had a changing of the guard right in the middle of it.

But I would really like to thank our city attorney, our finance director, HR, for all the countless hours to come to a meeting of the mines with the union, the fire union.

I would really like to thank Grant Davis, their their union negotiator, for all his patience, his professionalism, and also the fire union members for being so patient and professional.

So thank you very much.

Thank you, Ms.

Green.

Good evening, Mayor, Council staff.

I don't know what else to say.

Martin just said it all.

But I am really happy, uh, please to present the final collective bargaining agreement for Teams as Local 14 Firefighters, EMT paramedics, and the collective bargaining agreement for fire captains.

Um staff has had the opportunity, um, like Martin said, to work really closely with Grant Davis, Teams' Local 14 president and the union stewards, uh, fire union stewards.

And together, we feel that we've been able to reach a fair and balanced uh three-year agreement.

Um, and it supports both uh the city and the fire employees.

So with that, um, I would recommend that it be approved.

And if there's any questions, we'll be happy to answer them.

And I we do have representation right here in the back.

Thank you.

Any questions?

Oh, stay here for a second.

Any questions from council?

No?

All right.

Thank you.

Very easy.

Thank you.

Um, with that, we will open up public comment on item 6.5.

Good evening, Mayor and Council.

Just wanted to also echo Martine's comments about uh it's a difficult process as to what took place in the middle, but I think with Martin with uh Gina with Amy, we were able to work through it.

I also want to say, you know, my my appreciation to Chief Andrews and Chief Tobler uh for their input and support during the negotiations.

I do think we received we got to a fair contract.

I don't think either side got everything they wanted, but that's that's generally what happens in these negotiations, and we would urge you to vote yes tonight.

Thank you.

Thank you, Grant.

Jeff Reynolds, uh being an ex-police officer, we give the firemen a lot of hard times, and I looked at some of the money that you guys are gonna pay these guys.

Really?

Actually, their wages are not that high.

I looked at the normal rate.

I was making that as a police officer 10 years ago.

I don't know, I'm probably paying the captains too much money, but um anyway.

I hope you approve this.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jeff.

Seeing no one else come forward, I'm gonna go ahead and ask for motion.

Councilman won this.

Oh councilwoman Felding, did you have a question or comment?

Nope, I was gonna make a motion.

And if somebody voting before me, that's that's okay.

Okay, councilman won this.

Considering if I get sick or injured, I want them to show up.

I'm going to make a motion to approve the ratification of the collecting collective bargaining agreement for firefighters and fire captains for from 7125 to 630 28.

Councilman Ennis.

I second that motion.

Okay, call for the vote.

NSI.

Yellow aye.

Okay, motion passes.

Thank you.

On behalf of all of our employees.

Item 6.6.

Consideration of providing direction for staff to abate or remove the unhealthful conditions at 574 Condor Street, APN 001-17-710-038.

Mr.

Kim.

Thank you, Mayor and City Council.

It seems like today I'm in the middle of all those troubles.

So this is my last one.

Um it actually goes back about two months ago.

Uh uh when we didn't know what's going on on the property.

Thursday, July 10th, Code Enforcement Officer Alicia received a complaint from the neighbors about the foul smell.

So Monday, July 14th, notified the owner and told them to correct the issues and gave gave the owner two weeks.

And after two weeks, Tuesday, July 29th, created a courtish notice for Viz and open storage.

There was mattresses in the side yard and rubbish in the front yard.

So assumed that that was the issue.

So Monday, August 4, there was a continuous complaints and Alicia contacted the animal control, but Wednesday, August 20th, the owner took care of the wheels and open storage issues.

So initially the case was closed until Sunday, August 24.

Code enforcement officer Alicia was informed by the animal control officers about the red infestation.

So she delivered a courtish notice this time to the property owner and discussed the matter and asked and the owner stated that the Red X has been ordered.

And Monday, August 25, development services received multiple calls and emails from residents.

And the code enforcement officer monitored the house and discussed the issue at the department meeting.

So there we found out what we need to do.

So Tuesday, August 26th, City Council had a city council meeting, and people came and complained about the same.

And we found that the owner failed to purchase Red X at that time.

And then Wednesday, August 27, building officer Ben Noose handed hand delivered the notice of public nuisance to the property owner.

The notice was also forwarded to the public works for site posting, and they did it next day.

The notice invites the owner to attend today's meeting, and step also acquired the letter of agreement from the owner, and this agreement allows the city to abate the hazard and lean the property for the cost of the abatement.

But still we need the URL approval too.

By the way, uh I'm gonna show you some pictures with it is a little bit graphic, so uh I would uh uh let you audience to uh to watch it discretionarily at your discretion.

Uh this is the uh original uh the pictures, uh videos took uh took by the neighbors, and those are the rats uh on the wall.

And uh and then there will be more pictures.

So Thursday, August 28th.

Ben visited the house again.

The owner finally purchased Red X and the band noticed the droppings and there was a green pool uh and then uh the but the pump was running and it was cleaning, and and then uh the owner also uh ordered the commercial dumpster on the property.

AC system did not work at that time, uh, and then the owner uh notified us that uh home warranty company will come and fix it later.

Uh during the weekends uh between uh city council member Patty Gallo and uh County Commissioner Marilyn Carpatrick made the agency collaboration possible.

They uh talked about each other and sent me emails so that I can uh collaborate with other agencies and council member Patty Gellow also visited the site.

I appreciate the whole uh help.

And Tuesday, September 2nd, County Social Services attempted to contact the owner and offered several services, uh including Nevada uh Medicaid and Landscape Program and more, but uh owners denied them somehow.

Uh code enforcement worked uh for the owners to get benefits of the senior service meal delivery program, and it was accepted and uh uh we contacted Nevada Aging and Disability Services and we tried to reach out to them, uh but uh so far there was not uh no uh the free pool reserves.

Uh for a couple of days, the animal control under the police uh police department caught up approximately 40 rats during that time.

Dumpster was emptied.

This was the notice.

It is we use the zoning notice the board, but it is actually the code enforcement notice.

And then Wednesday, September 3rd, Alicia, code enforcement officer checked.

She found no rats in traps.

The trap wasn't located in the front yard only.

So we thought that the rat was kind of diminishing.

And LHL for the silver riders door to uh door services due to the uh the owners uh being disabled and mother's age and no working big vehicles at the house.

So and then Thursday, September 4, uh owners were cleaning their garage filled with furniture and uh uh strong order.

They refused to wear a mask and gloves that Alicia provided for their protection.

Um it is not just their health issues, it is about the potential health issues uh to the neighbors and community.

Uh but uh it didn't work.

Uh so and then uh home warranty company came and they fixed the AC unit on that day, I believe.

And Friday, September 5 through the Monday, September 8th, a total, including the 40 previously captured.

Uh 200 rats were captured by the animal control.

Um those were the some of the uh pictures taken.

Uh we have no idea what would be the fiscal impact uh and utilization of development funds may be needed in the future.

I was also informed that uh today uh the animal control uh captured about 61 rats and more.

So it's a minimum 260 uh and maybe more.

And if today we we got 61, there should be more uh to my uh and in the house or outside of it.

So uh due to the strong order, uh Greenproof was mitigated, they cleaned it up uh and there is no water anymore, and presence of rats in and out of the house, and there are health issues, and it is estimated that the house and the property needs to be served by a certified rodent pest control operator and possibly a professional has met service.

At least a professional evaluation and estimates would be needed, so staff uh has to recommend the city council approve the officers of the city to take all actions next necessary to abate or remove the unhealthful conditions at four I574 Condor Street.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Kim.

Any questions from council?

Um I have a question.

Councilwoman Filling, go ahead.

Thank you.

So because of this um resident and the rat infestation, it has protruded to all the neighbors.

Can we do for the neighbors as well?

Not only the neighbors on east side, but the neighbors street over because from what I'm hearing, the rats have protruded all the way around.

So, yes, I'm super happy that they're taking care of this house.

And thank you, Councilwoman Gallo, for doing this and spearheading this.

This is amazing.

Um but what can we do for the neighbors?

Um, we need to clean the sources first.

Um we know that the rats have been uh traveling neighboring uh properties too, but uh this this house is the sources and we need to clean them up first.

Um we helped animal control helped them.

Uh it was for free so far.

But uh from now on, if professional is involved, it'll be at their cost.

We will not uh spend any more monies for that.

Um so after cleaning this up and the neighbor, we're gonna watch monitor what's what's happening to the neighbors, and if we notified, then we will work with the neighbor uh at the same time.

But right now we need to focus on this house because we we just uh cut captured about 260 rats, and there will be more coming.

Uh so yeah, we we need to uh clean the sources and then we will uh work with the neighboring uh communities.

Thank you.

Councilwoman Gala.

So um my question is um, and this is kind of heartbreaking because I'm an animal person.

Um are we helping the neighbors because they're obviously getting dead rats because they've been rat poisoned then going on to property.

Are we picking up those rats as well, the dead rats on people's property, or how are we helping the neighborhood?

Uh animal control has been handling those uh fortunately for me.

And uh there were I actually I have some of the dead uh rats uh pictures, and that is a really graphic.

So I didn't include in this re uh the presentation.

Yeah.

And councilwoman Gallo.

That's a great question because when they said they started putting out their rat poison, I was so worried about when they die, where do they go and who's gonna find them and pick them up?

So that's a great question.

Uh I also want to add, I did talk to Joe Messias, the the uh animal control manager.

Uh my concern is uh or it was was that there are cats.

Uh we we we I work with the animal shelter.

Um we trap neuter and return um cats in the neighborhood to help to try to help.

And I was concerned that if they ate the rat or bit the rat, it has rat poison in it, that it would be an issue.

And according to Joe, and I'm sure um interim chief, I don't know if I want to drag you into this.

Um I understand that that is not the case that they don't actually eat them, they might play with them and torture them a little, but they don't um actually kill the rat or eat it.

No, I haven't heard anything like that uh in the port.

Um consume um rat poison light breaks down there, that breaks down their like their innards, so they just kind of die, and generally they I they could be eaten.

I mean, I'm not gonna tell you that they would 100% wouldn't be, but um they're they're going right outside, we're picking them up.

I mean, this is I mean, this pest control is not a is not a city function.

I mean, we're really stretching out a lot of our our resources to take care of this, and you know, and we're and we're working really hard.

Uh we we put traps in the name some of the neighbors' yards, and to be quite honest, um, we've only cut like one or two in the neighbor's yards, and everything else has been inside there.

I think he's 100% right that if we work on the site and we get that uh that main location taken care of, um, that it'll help with all of the neighbors.

Um, I don't know how many of the neighbors have experienced rats, and I'm sure there's um some, but um they're all over there they're they're all over the community.

It's not a it's not an isolated spot.

Um you can you know it's uh that that once they get uh established into our our town we're we're already we're already there.

We've been there for years.

I mean I I catch rats at my house in Bunkerville.

Um so I mean they're they're all over.

So it's just one of those things we're probably gonna always do with.

Um this is a unique spot.

Obviously, we need to clean up, but yeah, we can't get too um involved in pest control within the city.

So thank you for going out and getting those traps right away, though.

You are on it.

Thank you so much.

Uh I sincerely appreciate the animal control for doing this job, and uh I they did a lot of good work uh on this one.

Um that uh um the council member Petigallo mentioned was uh if they uh the rat ate uh those poisons and they die somewhere.

I'm guessing that when they when we uh saw 260 rats captured, there's got to be a couple of rats that actually uh died in the house somewhere.

So uh that's another reason that uh uh the staff wants to uh hire some uh professional and take a look at the house and uh get our estimates and clean it.

Um the owner may uh want to sell that house and move out, uh, but uh to do so still the house need to be cleaned up.

Uh and uh we need to clean it uh definitely, otherwise uh it'll continue and uh rat related diseases uh really a lot.

I studied about it, and there are a lot of diseases, disease that is related to rats, and we don't want to uh that those disease uh going around the community at all.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Kim.

I just wanted to point one other thing.

I know I thank you for draining the pool because I know an issue was with the green pool.

Um county will step in because we do have, I think you we've talked about this.

the rat related diseases uh really a lot i studied about it and uh there are a lot of diseases disease that is related to rats and we don't want to uh that those disease uh going around the community at all thank you thank you mr kim i just wanted to point one other thing i know i thank you for draining the pool because i know an issue was with the green pool um county will step in because we do have i think you we've talked about this where we have in some mosquito issues and some diseases that are being transferred by mosquitoes which is coming from the green pool so the fact that it's been drained um appreciate that because i was told that leaching it is not going to do it it has to be drained cleaned and then then reset so um thanks thank you for that as well mayor council hold on one second councilwoman i'm Ben Ruse the building official and I've been out there uh with Patty and and uh her mother I was there today with Alicia and they're really trying hard to clean up around the house but it's it's more than what they can really handle.

They've taken six dumpsters of trash and stuff out of the house they have trees in the back tall palm trees that are overgrown and need to be trimmed she was up on a ladder trying to trim them and she can't really do that.

So the pools drained she cleaned the pool out swept it out it's clean um we didn't see any rats around there today what we're uh Alicia and I talked about it if we could get in there and trim the trees so the rats won't have a place to maybe get up into and live uh that would be a big help and then possibly see what we can do inside maybe uh see about fumigating the home and killing whatever's in there because if there's rats in there there or in the garage where there were a lot of them um there could be other roaches and different things that can affect their living condition I'm more concerned with their living condition right now to make it safe for them to live in that house and um they've really worked hard these last two weeks I'd go by it every day and uh she's out there working trying to clean it up so I know she's trying but it's expensive doing I think she's got six seven hundred dollars and just for the dumpsters and you know they're they got a limited income so whatever we can do to help would be good.

So thanks Ben uh councilwoman fielding there thank you so if I remember we already have a lien on that property from some other work the city has done there did it already he said are we all the work that the city is doing I mean not that it's not warranted because it needs to be done but are they gonna lean the property for all the work the extra work the city's been doing for this property uh and I yeah Mr.

Kim and canceled that uh commented on that do you let me have him answer that and then you can ask your next question okay uh yes this property was embarked on uh embodied with um uh trash and green pools uh last year October so correct we we actually went through the same process and uh we hired uh uh professional and they uh cleaned the whole actually the furniture in the backyard and trash is and uh they removed the whole thing at that time the green pool was drained and then uh that that somehow uh the repo in and then green pool uh back again so um the my concern is not just about uh um the one time clean up it's about the maintenance issues the uh orange right now is uh working hard to uh clean that property but it didn't work last time and it got worse and so my concern is uh there is no guarantees that that there will be uh maintenance issues um uh in the future at all so um this time uh if we uh are allowed to clean that house I want to uh I want to hire a professional and clean the house in and out the role and then uh the let the owner decide what they want to do with that property uh for the future when go ahead councilwoman thank you Simon so when you we talked about this a few weeks ago uh tech review it says that she's okay with that this okay with the city of Moshe leaning the property again for doing all this work to clean up the property correct i acquired their agreement letter consent letter so uh they agreed that the city uh can come in and clean uh the house uh the so we have a permission from the owner but uh we need the permission for

It says that she's okay with that.

This okay, but the city and the sheet leaning the property again for doing all this work to clean up the property, correct?

I acquired their agreement letter, consent to letter.

So uh they agreed that that the city uh can come in and clean uh the house.

Uh so we have a permission from the owner, but uh we need the permission from the city council today.

Okay, so I guess it's clear.

You need clarification from city council to move forward with leaning the property.

That's correct.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you, councilwoman.

Councilwoman Gallow.

Uh I think wrong button.

I think you answered the question.

My concern was how do we prevent it continually to keep it.

This is it is uh eventually private property.

Uh we cannot monitor it 24365 days.

So once we clean them up, it'll be returned to the owners, and the ores need to maintain it properly.

I hope they learn this time.

Uh, but uh that's not my decision to make.

So thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Kim.

Any other questions from council?

Okay, if not, I will go ahead and open uh public comment.

So now um your name.

What's your name?

My name is Sandra Idavi.

Um I in your defense, the air conditioner wasn't working.

The air, the the fan, the talk talk right into the microphone right there.

The fan went out in the attic, and I have American home shield, and it took them a long time to come fix it, but they because they send technicians from Vegas to come pick, but he told me that he was up there four different times, and he told me there was no evidence of rats in the attic.

And um, and um Simon sent some people to help me clean up my yard because I asked him to help me before when they put the lien on my property.

I asked him to help me because I didn't have a vehicle.

I had a whole bunch of people had it moved in the who had got evicted from their house and didn't have a place to go, so they moved in with me.

Well, when they left, they just left all their trash.

Well, when he got the people to come in, they charged me four thousand dollars.

All they would do was pick up the big stuff, they wouldn't pick up any of the yard stuff, they wouldn't pick up anything.

And I told Simon at the time that they didn't do a good job, they wouldn't pick up the lawn stuff, and I told him that I could use a dumpster at that time.

He ignored me.

And so I haven't had the money to do it myself, but when I found out about the rats, I kind of knew that the rats were there like a little bit before they had gotten into a bunch of dog food that I had in the garage, and they had got into all of the bags and and eaten the dog food, and then the next uh one morning I woke up and my garden was gone, so I knew that it must be a bigger problem than I thought.

Then two weeks ago and two days ago, the police came to my door, and they that picture that he showed you where the hat the rats were running on my house, that was two weeks ago.

And um the cops, the police officers came to my off my house and said they're running around here all over, they're under your solar panels, they're under your they're in your trees.

Well, mom and I are old, we don't go outside very often, and we're in bed usually before the rats get up, and you know, before they go out.

So I didn't realize the rats were a problem.

Uh not as big a problem as I thought, because I had put down a couple bags of rat poison.

But this rat poison is says it's safe for pets because I have pets too.

I have two cats and two dogs, and so it says it's safe.

Sandra, would you talk into the microphone first, please?

Sorry, thank you.

It says it's safe for kids and and rat uh for animals, and it says it's supposed to dehydrate them, and so there's not supposed to be a smell.

And just since just since um two weeks ago, I have put down all of this.

And I have and I have done everything the city has asked me to do.

I've really I've spent 500 on a dumpster.

I've done I've filled it up.

I've filled it up like you said, six times.

And I I'm disabled.

I'm 64 and disabled.

My mom's 86.

I don't want rats, but I've been working very, very, very, very hard to try to get rid of them.

And then I have some really nasty neighbors, some really bad nasty neighbors, and they're very, very inconsiderate.

Sandra, this I'm I know thank you.

Your your time is up.

I know, but just I wanted you to know that uh we're doing the best we can, and there are no rats in my house, and I have they've already charged me $4,000, and they didn't do anything, and so they don't need to come in my house and clean.

And I after I've worked for two weeks to get everything clean.

Yes, I don't feel like I should be charged more to have more people come in and okay.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi, Patty Aaron's 573 Eagle Street, right behind Sandy.

And I appreciate everything that's being done, but there is lots more.

Here is one picture of a corner of fake Christmas trees.

She has arranged, she wants it to look nice.

Okay, let's let's keep all of the yeah, other stuff down, please.

It's just a place for the rats to build nests to do anything they can.

Um she also has the camper in her backyard, and the back window.

Oh, sorry.

The back window has been wide open for at least a year.

So I don't know if that's been checked for rats.

So there's many different things, but you have answered a lot of our questions, and uh the follow-through is my big concern.

So, you know, things like that.

We tried to work with her, and we repaired the back fence and paid for everything.

So, you know, things like that.

So it's been difficult.

Thank you, Patty.

Let's uh no keep the comments to a nun, if unless you're coming up, please.

Hello, Daniela Cortez.

Um, also on Osprey around the neighborhood.

Um, so I just have a comment.

If a year ago, this green the water was green in the pool.

A year later, we're having green water in the pool again.

Now we're having a rat infestation.

When cops approached her the night of when she was approached that she was mentioning, she came out and told the officer, yeah, they're everywhere.

These are my babies.

But she didn't know about the rats.

Like I'm I'm just there's I think there's like a miscommunication.

I don't know what's going on.

She's obviously not.

It's just frustrating.

I'm very frustrated.

It's frustrating that I feel like the neighbor, if I'm not wrong, you say the neighbors weren't gonna get help.

You guys weren't gonna put money in helping the neighbors.

Is that right?

Excuse me.

Or did I misunderstand that part?

For the neighbors, yeah.

Like, what are you guys doing to help the neighbors around?

You you said you guys work in a cutting.

That's what I mentioned earlier that uh we need to focus on the sources first, and then uh if we're gonna hear from the neighbors again about the rats, then maybe we gotta uh find the ways to help.

Okay, and then if she's denying it, if she's denying the help, if she's denying somebody to help her clean her home, like what yeah, of and that if exactly, yes, that is a homeowner, and I and I get that 110%, but it it goes again around the neighborhood.

It's the people around, it's the people around the home, you know.

It's frustrating.

And Patty 2021, she has reports back in 2021 of reporting a smell back in 2021.

So if the smell was back in 2021, we're now in 2025 and we're having an issue, and we're having an infestation of rats.

So what's next?

Like it's I don't know, this is so I can I help.

So can the county step in?

I mean, what what are our legal obligations?

So this really goes to kind of the the role of government and how and what issues can we do, what can't we do?

The municipal code allows us to do what we're doing today.

Okay, and there are there can be potential criminal charges as well.

I'm sorry, we're still doing public comment.

This is this is Adam, the attorney.

But we're but still during public comment talking.

Yeah, they asked them.

I'll just respond to the question and then we'll be able to continue the public comment.

Um but one thing that keeps coming to mind in my mind is that there might be a private right of action, and I don't represent anyone here, I represent the city, but it might be helpful as well for neighbors to contact their own attorneys, understand what can be done there because the city has certain limitations on what it can do.

There might be other things that residents can do, but it's when there's private property issues among private property owners, ultimately there's recourse, but it's not necessarily always within the city's jurisdiction to take care of everything.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Some of you are people were denied entry to her backyard and denied entry to get into the house.

What do you think she is trying to hide with the green water in the pool and all the junk in the backyard?

It's a rat haven.

It's a rat reading ground.

And there are probably rats in the house, also.

What does it take to condemn a house?

We certainly don't want our side of town to be infested with rats.

But if we don't do something drastic, we're gonna be right back here in very short time.

Thank you, Dennis.

Would you like to come up or are you able or okay?

Just because I'm old.

You just weren't coming, but you acted like you wanted to.

So yes, I want to.

I was gonna ask you.

He was they said something about these little trees.

Oh, let's get your name for the record.

These little Christmas trees.

Can we get your name real quick for the record?

My name.

My name is Phyllis Sinclair, and I'm Sandy's mother.

And I've been living with her for five years.

And I wanted to talk about these little trees that was in the corner over there that they're bitching about back over here.

Do you know that we had a beautiful tree?

A beautiful, beautiful tree in that corner.

And it was the most beautiful thing in the whole backyard.

But this gentleman here, he decided.

Let's not refer to anybody in the audience.

Well, he decided that he didn't like that tree because it when she put water on the it put a little water in his yard.

So he decided to put diesel oil on the roots of the tree and kill it.

Now we have to have there's no shade there, so she put those chick those other trees there to give us a little bit of shade.

Now, if that's it's that that's a sin, I want to know what it is.

He killed our tree, and then he's bitching about a Christmas tree.

That's beyond me.

I just want to, you know.

What do you think?

He poured beetle oil on a beautiful tree to kill it, and it did kill it in three days.

Three days that tree was dead.

So if it fell to the ground, everything.

We had to get rid of that.

Now, is that legal?

We didn't press charges against him, but we could have.

Now he's up here bullshitting us.

Language, please.

I know.

But I am up to here with their crap.

They're they've got their nose over the fence all the time looking into the backyard.

And they said there was an obscene amount of dog poop.

So I went out, somebody came to put police officers came to the door, told me there was an obscene amount of dog poop out in the yard.

I went, there was the the big dog was just making a pile, and there was one other pile in the whole damn yard.

And that was an obscene amount.

So everything that they do if they if we tomorrow they'll find something else to bitch about because that's what they do.

They're good Christians for you, people.

And I'm I'm not gonna stand for it.

I'm sorry, but that's it.

Thank you, Phyllis.

I believe that.

Let's uh I'm Shelly.

No talking, please.

We don't need to get nasty.

I would like information on how I can help this person and this family in my town.

This is terrible.

I also would like information put out publicly on how I can help with funds in helping the city take care of this problem.

I would also like to ask people to put themselves maybe somewhere that they're not in a good mental place, where life is a little bit harder for somebody on some given day, and ask how you would want your neighbor to treat your mother or your sister.

I apologize if I am sounding like I'm ranting and having a call to Jesus moment, but this is ridiculous.

This is a professional place where we need to take care of our neighbors' work, family here, and we need to start acting like it.

Thank you, Shelley.

Jeff Reynolds.

When you buy a house or become a homeowner, it's your responsibility to take care of your house and keep it up to standards of the community.

This is one of the worst examples that I have heard.

I was a police officer of 37 years, and I never and I work in a bad part of town that I never heard something like this.

How many rats were taken out?

Hundreds?

You know, and it's it's not the council's position to come in and clean up their house for them.

Okay, we can do that out of the goodness of our heart.

We could have a person and collect something to come and fix it up, but you're not gonna get the rats uh urine stains and and smell out of if they have wood floors, all the carpet has to be ripped out.

Uh you know that from and it's very difficult.

I think that uh if I was a neighbor, I would be totally off the wall to have rats running into, and if you if you let's say you go in there as an extreme case that you treat it like you did the motel down here on the corner, right?

Let's say you come in and say it's it's a it's a public hazard, and people are gonna get sick, and you bulldoze the house down.

You know where those rats are gonna go back out all around to the neighborhood.

Rats will survive and they will move, and uh you're not gonna get rid of them that way.

So I don't know what what it takes, but it's their responsibility to take care of their property in a reasonable manner, and the city should not have to pay for that.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jeff.

My name is Stephanie Feinswright, and I'm a friend of the owners that live behind Sandy, and I've known them for five years, and this has been an ongoing issue, starting with the tree.

They have done everything they can to help them, but they have a bad attitude.

They put signs up with foul messages on, pointing towards Patty.

The tree was not their fault.

The watering was in the middle of the yard, wasn't even near the tree.

How anybody could pour diesel over the fence eight feet away from the tree is beyond me.

But this is an ongoing issue.

The city has been involved for years.

Patty is just at her wits in on what to do.

She's a homeowner, it's affecting the value of her home.

Something needs to be done.

It's spread out through the whole block.

Are they gonna let it go six blocks before they do something?

Is this what Mesquite wants?

So I'm just here.

I didn't think I would talk, but I can see where the frustration is with the neighbors, especially when they've all tried to help this woman, and she's got a foul mouth.

She hangs signs up with foul language, and they don't want to help her anymore.

Because she's rude and obnoxious.

So just to get that straight.

Thank you.

My name is Gabriela Ponce.

I live on Great Bible Bills, which is across from Second South.

They're already over there.

They're great by Bill, so they're spreading.

If we don't fix it, it's gonna get really, really big.

And like you said, I'd be willing to help, but the problem is they don't want the help.

I would go and help out if we need to go and clean, put on our gloves and mask, I would go.

But the thing is they do not want to help.

What do we do?

They're spreading.

They're going great by bills already.

So that's another subdivision.

What are we gonna do?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Seeing no one else step forward, I'm gonna go ahead and close public comment and turn it back over to council.

Do we have any more questions?

Or if not, I would ask for a motion.

Mayor.

Councilwoman Fielding.

Thank you.

Um so looking at the agenda item, it kind of looks like direction.

What do we want to do?

So I would make a motion that we well lean the properties for all the work the city has done and look at future for the neighbors as well.

Can we so lean them for past work?

Just looking at the agenda item.

It it's it's you know, directing staff to abate or remove the unhelpful conditions.

So I'd encourage the council to stay within that rubric.

Like it's not part of what what we're you know, not part of the agenda item, what we're gonna do with other neighbors, but just if we're gonna direct staff to move forward to abate the issue here.

So if we if I make my motion to abate the issue, is that include leaning the property for the city of mesquite's um time it would be implied.

There's already an agreement from the home homeowner to lean it.

So move to a bait and then move forward, then that would be automatically part of that.

Perfect.

I'm sorry, the public comment period's over.

Okay.

Okay, I'm I'm sorry.

Okay.

Um, councilwoman fielding, do you want to restate your motion?

So I would make uh a motion to um make a direction to abate the property and lean the property, I guess.

Is that correct, Adam?

That's fine.

Okay, councilmanness.

I second uh okay.

Call for the vote.

Galloway.

Okay, motion passes.

Item 6.7 consideration of bid award for the mesquite boulevard ADA ramp improvements.

Mr.

Anderson, thank you, Mayor Council.

Um, I got a quick little summary I'd like to uh go through just for um council and the general public.

So public works received five bids and publicly opened these sealed bids on July 22nd, 25.

The five bids range from 1.6 million to 2.4 million, and on August 12th, the city council approved the award of the project melee Inc.

doing business as melee concrete.

However, after the award was issued, issued, Mailee Concrete was unable to obtain the proper bonding required as part of the project and claimed a financial hardship.

Maylee Concrete requested a withdrawal from the project, and following the NRS statutes 338.13895 subsection three.

It says if any if after awarding the contract but before commencement of the work, the public body or its authorized representative discovers that the person to whom the contract was awarded is deemed unacceptable.

The public body shall rescind the award of the contract and may accept the next lowest bid for the public work from a responsible bidder.

With this understanding, the next lowest bidder is Las Vegas Paving Corporation, and we would like to follow the NRS, and so it is our recommendation for this.

And again, this is for the Mesquite ADA ramp improvement project.

The next lowest bid was Las Vegas paving in the amount of 1,875,000.

This is an increase of a little over 200,000 from Maylee concrete, but it does follow within the NRS, and our engineers' estimate on this project was 2 million, so we're still below all of the costs associated with this are still recovered and reimbursed from RTC funding.

So we're still within the limits of that.

So it is the recommendation.

Thank you.

Councilwoman Gallagher.

I was just ready to make a motion.

Oh, we got a public comment.

Any other questions from council?

Seeing none, I'm gonna go ahead and open it up for public comment.

Seeing no one step forward, I'm gonna go ahead and close the public comment.

Uh councilwoman Gallon.

I'd like to make a motion to accept the bid.

Um from uh the Las Vegas Las Vegas paving.

I can't read my own homewriting paving.

Better research.

Oh, I uh we need to okay.

So I need to rescind the the previous bid, please.

And then we're going to accept the next bid, which is legally what we need to be doing correct at the 1.875.

Thank you.

Okay, councilman Ennis.

I'll second all that.

Call for the vote.

Galloway.

Okay, the motion passes.

Item 6.8 consideration and approval of the CIAB budget proposal for the fiscal year 2025-2026 for used middle school.

Um Mr.

Wilson, would you like to I have I have some information on that?

Okay.

Councilman Parrish.

Um we have already approved sixty thousand dollars for the CAB.

And basically, all this is is they want to move some money around from one school to another.

And it's no more money out of the city coffers.

So in my mind, this is just an administrative item.

Um if any council members have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

But uh in my mind, we've already given the money.

What they do with the money is their business, and this should be a done deal.

Thanks.

Any other questions from council?

I have so if you make the motion that way, I just need it to make a motion.

No, I'm just telling you that it the motion's gonna need to say that we void the check to JL Bowler and take the difference and give it to uh Hughes Middle School.

Yes.

Yep.

Okay.

Well, let's uh if we have no more questions from council, I'll go ahead and open it up for public comment.

Okay, seeing that I'm gonna turn it back over.

Oh, no.

Sorry.

You guys hesitated on me.

Sorry.

Well, this might be a moot point if you guys are gonna go ahead and pass that.

But um, I'm here to support that and the uh amount of money going to JL Bowler Middle School.

We all here uh rely on the advice of experts for things.

We have a uh an attorney over here.

Uh we have well, I don't know where the engineers went, but we have a bunch of stuff, right?

That we ask people that that are professional and knowledgeable because we aren't that knowledgeable.

I don't think anybody up here has an education degree or a master's in education, and um anyway.

Our witness or our uh expert is Principal Wilson here from the middle school, and I know that there was some talk about what he was wanting the uh the money for, and he is not requesting these items for a playroom, he is not requesting these items for fun things, he is using it to motivate the students to do well.

And he is not requesting these items for a playroom.

He is not requesting these items for fun things.

He is using it to motivate the students to do well.

He can tell you about what it's required to be able to use these items, such as perfect attendance.

So many points on the testing that they do.

One of the hardest things that we have in the schools, and I'm on the member of the CAB board, is getting the kids to attend school and to pay attention and do the right things.

It takes different things now than it, you know, a good crack on the butt when we were kids gave us a lot of motivation.

But it's not so now.

And this is something in a in a professional opinion that that would help motivate the kids and make better students and make our next generation better people.

We have to look outside the box sometimes.

So I appreciate if you guys would have passed that and give Buller the money.

Thank you.

Thanks, Jeff.

Uh J Dell Wilson, principal at Hughes Middle School.

Um I bought a few drinks at Maverick as well.

Um, just just thank you.

Um I I want to just say I I hope that um or appreciate, I guess you're putting your trust in me to to use the funds appropriately.

Um, we're we're struggling right now to get kids to school.

My chronic absenteeism went up eight percent last year.

Um, you know, I've got kids that they get themselves to school every day, and so we're trying to do things at school that get them there and want to be there.

Uh and I have no problem, you know, returning a reporting with statistics of how many kids I run through there, but honestly, the the most amount of time a student would be in there might be 20 minutes at lunch um or 30 minutes in the class time, and it's gonna be um if you know anything about Nintendo switches, it's Mario Kart, it's it's super smash pros.

Um, it's not gonna be anything more than that.

I've got experts that I talk to every day at lunch that have got a list of games for me that they want to play.

Um, and so but I I I promise you this, and and my commitment, you know, when I when I took the job at Hughes Middle School, was every decision I make is gonna be based on what's gonna help and be best for my kids.

Um, and that's what I try and do to to the best of my ability is is to make sure I'm taking care of them you know every day that I go into work.

So thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Wilson.

Uh Jody Thornley, I just want to really quickly say that that would be um CAB's recommendation as well is to um give that remainder that 7,000 back to the middle school.

And um, I have talked to the other principal Jenkins, he's 100% on board.

He was um kind of he he wasn't real um okay with taking money from one's from one school to give to himself.

He's a team player, and all the principals work together, they are they're part of a team, so um that he is a hundred percent um on board with that as well, and he hasn't picked up his checks, so that should be good.

So that is our um recommendation as well.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jody.

Seeing no one else step forward, I'll go ahead and turn it back over to council.

Uh councilman Parrish where you want to make that okay.

Um, I you know, I like councilman member Parrish said, you know, this we we we approved the budget, and so that's up to you how you all want to do.
