Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Tuesday, September 16th mesquite uh city mesquite technical review meeting.

It's 2 30.

Um, we're gonna start with opening public comment.

You have three minutes, please come forward.

Hello, Mayor Whipple and the City Council.

Um, for the record, my name is Raylan Schiffano, Nordic Beach properties uh director.

Today I stand here and ask you to table all mesquite vistas, annexations and subdivisions until the courts resolve the litigation between mesquite vistas master association versus Nordic Beach.

Proceeding now risk entangling the city in disputes about subdivisions and annexations that remain unsettled in the courts at the last meeting.

As exhibit A.

Exhibit A does not have any of the properties that for the Aleve subdivision, the Hardy Ways, or the Hilltop Vistas subject, nor does it have for the Red Hills and a few other properties.

It's not even in the expandable area, which is exhibit B.

As you can tell, exhibit B is the description of the annexable area.

We are asking when these governing documents were amended, because that takes a 67% vote of the people to amend these governing documents to add an expandable area.

Now, the final map may have been done, a site plan, but there's nothing recorded in our governing documents that allow for this.

Mr.

Anderson states there's all kinds of changes, annexes in and out, but nobody can tell us what has been annexed in and what has been de-annexed from the properties.

The members have a right to know.

He said that these are legal real estate, complicated decisions.

Yet at the end of the meeting, he says, go ahead, approve it.

You we need to slow down, and I'm asking you to add this back on the agenda so that the public knows that there takes a vote, that there is a process to amend the governing documents, that the city is overstepping its bound when it's allowing for annexation that requires a vote of the people.

It may even require a vote of 75% of the mortgage holders, the FHA.

There's so many legal questions we have, and again, we are in court with mesquite vistas for annexation and subdivisions.

We've had the land surveyor that did all this admit under oath in a deposition that he didn't do it correctly, that he didn't annex in the property correctly.

So we know more than the city does, and we're asking you to slow down, put it back on the agenda.

Let's halt all subdivisions and annexations until this gets to the courts and gets fit finalized so that the city doesn't jeopardize future homeowners, future consumers.

What about consumer protections?

We're selling people into something, a lawsuit.

If the lawsuit is in our favor, it's gonna cost those homeowners a lot of money.

So I'm just asking you not to add any more to the annex or two annex or subdivisions until these final maps are figured out and disclosed by the city to us.

Thank you.

Thank you, Rayleigh.

See no one else step forward.

I'm gonna go ahead and move on to item two, the work session.

Um, Miss Breen, you have things to add?

Yes, Mayor, thank you.

I have two items.

The first one is consideration of approval of wage increase for management raises to align with the general employee and fire collective bargaining agreements.

Yep, do I have a motion from councilwoman filling?

Thank you, Mayor.

I will make the motion to um add the approval for the raises for the collective bargaining for management.

Management.

Okay, do I have a second?

Councilwoman Gellan.

I'll say okay.

Call for the vote.

One more show.

Okay, motion passes.

Thank you, Mayor.

I have another one to add.

Um, I was requested by a council member to add this item for a discussion regarding residency requirements for all department heads.

Okay, do I have a motion?

Councilwoman Philly.

Thank you, Mayor.

I will um add the residency for all department heads.

Do I have a second?

And is this just a discussion only?

Or would there be a possible action?

The item will say discussion, public comment, discussion, and possible action.

Okay, so just make sure that the it's part of that motion that there could be an action taken as well.

To add discussion and possible motion.

Okay, do I have a second?

I'll second it.

We have a second call for the vote.

Parish no.

Yeah, I'll no.

Mayor has to break the tie.

Yeah, Mayor Mayor needs to break the tie because there's a tie vote.

I'm gonna say no as well.

Any other items to add?

Thank you, Mayor.

I've got uh three items.

So one I'm uh pulling out and withdraw item number 7.3, uh building age up the virgin belly uh heritage park.

Uh items, and then I'm gonna add uh items regarding Falcon Nich uh driving range.

We're doing one at a time, Adam or the first one.

Okay, so the first one is Heritage Park.

Yeah, I'm withdrawing it.

Um I don't think we need uh yeah, vote.

We we don't if Simon was the one who proposed that item.

Yeah, okay.

And uh second one is uh add an item regarding Falcon Nietzsche driving range side plan.

Then there's vote.

So okay, do I have a uh motion or uh for the adding of the Falcon Ridge driving range?

Councilman Parish.

I'll make a motion to add for discussion and possible action on the Falcon Ridge driving range.

Councilwoman Gallery I'll second.

Okay, call for the vote.

And a third item is just uh giving you a hands up, and uh it's a good thing that that uh we have a people from Nordic Beach LLC here.

I'm gonna make a presentation of um about the Red Hills Commercial Center at uh uh step comment session.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

So I guess I'll vote.

Adam, no motion is needed, it's just staff comments.

Okay.

Any other additions?

Oh, um Travis.

So I talked to the our attorney and he said we didn't need to add that because we've already discussed it.

Is for the grant bargain sale uh agreements with the Dixie Levitt trust across the street.

So we've addressed those in the development agreements and in councils before, so uh we don't need to.

I thought I might need to, but when I talked to Adam, it doesn't look like we need to bring those.

You're you have the ability to sign it.

Okay.

It's already been in front of the council and already been approved.

Right.

Okay.

And what about the numbers?

Did we want to bring that up or well?

I think Adam uh we have an I have agenda items on here, and I think I know the answer that we don't discuss any of the agenda items that are on there.

We did the bid um for the mill and overlay project and the traffic signals.

I was just going to announce the apparent low bids on there, but I didn't want to create that discussion.

So I would say save it for the regular meeting, and it's not not proper for the discussion among the council during this meeting.

Right.

Adam, could he just state those it is fine?

I mean, if you want to state a but it's on staff comments, it's not appropriate for the council to discuss it.

So you can tell us the numbers if you want.

We just can't talk about it.

I mean, yeah, yeah, it was just the uh for the traffic signal project.

We had five bidders.

Um they range from two 1.2 million to 1.7 million.

And on the mill and overlay project, we had four bidders, and they range from 6.6 million to 10.4 million.

So in the uh next Tuesday, we'll go through those with the recommendation on the lowest bid and and that, but we just quite happy with the amount of bidders and the bid prices that came out.

So thank you.

Thank you.

Nothing else to add from anyone.

Okay, with that, we will move on to final public comment.

Hello, mayor again for the public record.

Um, we've been asking for all the documents on this.

So Simon has documents, we'd like them ahead of time so that we're prepared for this.

Since we've been subpoenaed the documents and we've asked for documents and they haven't been disclosed, we ask that no presentation is given until we get all the documents from the city and have the right to review everything.

We've tried to meet with the city, the city has completely blocked us from meeting or walked out of meetings, or just won't listen to us.

So if we want to talk about this in a private area, we're more than happy to do.

We're only in public comment because we've been forced to public comment.

So if he's going to do a presentation that we can't comment on, we want all the documents ahead of time, and we want all the documents that we've requested from the city clerk to be turned over prior to any presentation being given by Mr.

Kim.

Thank you.

Right.

And I I am aware of those requests.

But yes, I'll we'll get those out to you.

It's really looking retaliatory.

If we can't get the information from the city to give us the reasons and the proof of the documents and the signatures and all the things that are required, what is the city hiding from us?

And obviously there's different views, but you'll that you can make public comment before and after, just like any other meeting, but yeah, I'll talk with Simon.

Yeah, just no presentations that are not given to us ahead of time.

Thank you.

Any other public comment?

Seeing none, this meeting is adjourned.
