Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026 uh technical review meeting for the city of Mesquite.

0:09

It is 2 31.

0:10

We're gonna get started.

0:11

We're gonna start with uh our opening public comment.

0:19

Afternoon, Mayor Council.

0:21

I'm here to let you know that the next council meeting I'll present on that photo to you.

0:29

So just to let you know it's coming.

0:31

Okay.

0:32

And I know you're a man of your wood.

0:33

You said you will display it where people can see it.

0:36

I was lawyer too once, and you know how we feel about people who lie.

0:40

So you're the man.

0:41

Thank you.

0:42

Thank you, Mike.

0:47

Okay, seeing no one else come forward, we will go ahead and move on to our work session.

0:52

Um councilman Wallace.

0:57

I'd like to add to next Tuesday's agenda.

1:01

It's called Iron Cactus.

1:04

It's uh philanthropic attempt to make Segora cactuses out of nothing but iron golf clubs.

1:15

About 10 of them throughout the city that represents all the golfers who've come here and played.

1:22

And I'd like them to do a presentation.

1:25

They have the first one done, and they'd like to install it at City Hall, and then go to the golf courses and beyond that until they get all 10 in.

1:34

So I'd like to add that to the agenda.

1:39

Okay, do we have a second?

1:40

Oh, actually, do we have any public comment on that addition?

1:44

Okay, seeing none, councilwoman filden.

1:48

Was that a motion?

1:50

That was well, no, that was that was just what I'd like to have.

1:54

Okay, you'll want to add something okay.

1:58

I'll second that.

1:59

Okay, call for the vote.

2:03

Galloway.

2:04

Okay, councilman Annis, you had something to add as well.

2:08

I just wanted to put out who wants to go on a ceremonial, but I would have moved on ceremonial stuff in the beginning.

2:14

No, so just yeah, just tell her what you want.

2:16

Okay.

2:16

I don't want nothing else.

2:17

So what is it?

2:18

So Julia can put it down.

2:21

Just well, it has to do with uh presentations of appreciation strategic for me, no, not for you.

2:29

For all of us, no, not for any of you.

2:32

Just tell me after.

2:33

Pardon me, just tell me after.

2:35

Okay.

2:38

Okay, and then I would like to add an item to consider mayor pro tem.

2:47

Um it's been brought up to me in the past, and in my research, and I think did we talk about this?

2:55

So the charter says the council picks the mayor pro tem.

2:59

It doesn't really mention the mayor at all.

3:01

It's just a one-line in the charter that says the council will pick one of its member members to be the mayor pro tem.

3:07

And so I would just like to add that to give the council an opportunity.

3:12

It doesn't line out how it's done, anything.

3:16

So the council can talk about it if they want to keep councilwoman Gallo, if they want to non-nominate somebody else, how they want to do the process.

3:24

I don't know if we would need to add something in the code that specifies more or I don't think we need anything extra.

3:32

This the charter just says the city council shall elect of one of its members to be mayor pro tem.

3:37

Right.

3:37

And so just an agenda item to elect the mayor pro tem.

3:40

Okay.

3:41

So let's just add that on there.

3:43

That's good.

3:44

Uh councilman parrish.

Mesquite Technical Review Meeting - February 3, 2026

The City of Mesquite held a technical review work session on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 2:31 PM. The meeting included public comments, additions to next week's agenda, a discussion on e-bike regulations, and updates on capital projects.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Mike (resident): Announced he will present a photo at the next council meeting and expressed confidence that the mayor will display it prominently.
  • Rick (resident) (on item 5.6 pull): Asked whether the existing agreement with Commonwealth Development Corporation would carry forward compromises previously reached by council members, or if discussions would restart. The city attorney indicated more communication with the proposed purchaser is needed before presenting to council.

Discussion Items

  • Iron Cactus Art Project (Councilman Wallace): Proposed adding a presentation by Iron Cactus to next Tuesday's agenda. The group plans to install 10 sculptures made from iron golf clubs across the city, with the first at City Hall. Motion passed unanimously.
  • Mayor Pro Tem Election (Councilwoman, name not specified): Moved to add an agenda item to allow the council to elect a mayor pro tem, noting the city charter gives that authority solely to the council. Motion passed unanimously.
  • Item 5.6 Pull (Councilman Adam/Martin): Moved to pull discussion of a purchase and sale agreement for 15 acres of city-owned land with Commonwealth Development Corporation from the current agenda. Motion passed unanimously.
  • E-Bike Ordinance Update (Councilman Parrish): Reported that the city attorney is working on a draft ordinance, coordinating with other valley cities. He noted Clark County recently passed a similar ordinance with a $150 fine per incident charged to parents. This was an informal update, not an agendized item.
  • Infrastructure and Capital Project Updates (Travis, City Staff): Provided a detailed update, including:
    • Closure of Riverside & Mesquite Boulevard intersection from Sunday, February 8 at 8 PM to Monday, February 9 at 1 PM for paving.
    • The new traffic signal at Hardy Way and Falcon Ridge to be fully operational Monday; a message board will warn drivers.
    • Paving on Mesquite Boulevard continuing; Canyon Crest and Horizon curb/gutter work progressing.
    • Fire station concrete slab poured; animal shelter ribbon cutting scheduled for Thursday, March 5.
    • Levitt and Hafen projects delayed due to a strike at Rinker Concrete affecting precast box culvert delivery.

Key Outcomes

  • Unanimous votes to add Iron Cactus presentation and mayor pro tem election to next Tuesday's agenda.
  • Unanimous vote to pull item 5.6 from the current agenda; further communications with Commonwealth Development Corporation to occur before council consideration.
  • Staff directed to use message boards and alternate route signage for the upcoming intersection closure.
  • Next meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 10, 2026 (regular council meeting).
