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

It is 2 31.

We're gonna get started.

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

Afternoon, Mayor Council.

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

So just to let you know it's coming.

Okay.

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

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

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

So you're the man.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mike.

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

Um councilman Wallace.

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

It's called Iron Cactus.

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

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

And I'd like them to do a presentation.

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.

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

Okay, do we have a second?

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

Okay, seeing none, councilwoman filden.

Was that a motion?

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

Okay, you'll want to add something okay.

I'll second that.

Okay, call for the vote.

Galloway.

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

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

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

Okay.

I don't want nothing else.

So what is it?

So Julia can put it down.

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

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

Just tell me after.

Pardon me, just tell me after.

Okay.

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

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

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

It doesn't really mention the mayor at all.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Right.

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

Okay.

So let's just add that on there.

That's good.

Uh councilman parrish.

Oh, I gotta thank the add.

We need to need motion motion, public comment.

Do we have a public comment on that?

Okay, and I guess do we have a motion for that?

I'll still make the motion.

Okay.

Okay, councilwoman Fielding.

I will second that.

Okay, call for the vote.

Anasai.

Galloway.

Okay, and Adam, you had or was that your item you wanted to subtract?

Me or Martin, but we we want to pull 5.6.

Okay.

And 5.6 is the discussion regarding the purchase and sale agreement between the city of Mesquite and Commonwealth Development Corporation of America for 15 acres of city-owned land located APN number 002-12-801-003 file number NCS 1259673 MAD with first American title insurance company.

Do we have any public comment on polling item 5.6?

Um I just wanted to clarify something that uh if this comes back to the council for consideration, it looks like it is obviously that the uh compromises that that some of the council members came up with, which were outstanding and and acceptable to all would continue to carry with that.

Or I mean, is this are we gonna start over or are we gonna pick up where we left off?

So there's an existing agreement that's in place, and um there's gonna be more there needs to be some more communications with uh proposed purchaser that will happen soon, and once we can get through that and kind of understand the outcome of that, then we'll have a better idea what to present to the council.

Is it fair to say that we all remember what the compromise was?

No, because this was done before I got here and I don't remember.

Uh okay, then I would just simply ask that that those who are aware of that make it very well known during the uh discussion period in the council meeting that that it be considered as part of that that issue.

Uh and I realize we're not gonna be talking about it here, maybe at another council meeting.

Fine.

Uh, but I did want to bring that up.

I my question really is simply uh do you know are we picking up where we left off or are we starting over?

And and I I understand what you've said.

Okay, thank you.

Sounds good, thank you.

Thanks, Rick.

Okay, seeing no other public comment on that.

Councilman Parrish.

Oh, okay.

Um, so do we have a motion to uh pull the item?

Pull the 5.6.

I like to do it by motion in this meeting.

So councilman wandless let's pull them all.

No, let's pull item 5.6.

Okay, do I have a second?

I'll second.

Okay, call for the vote.

Parish ISI.

Galilei.

All right, Councilman Parrish.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um I see our chief and our chief out there.

I need to start holding you guys' feet to the fire a little bit on these e-bikes.

Um are we gonna have something maybe for the next meeting or I can address that?

Okay.

Chief sent me uh a proposed ordinance that I've been working on.

Uh a couple weeks ago, I met up in Las Vegas with the Henderson City Attorney, North Las Vegas attorney, Boulder City City Attorney, uh Las Vegas City Attorney, and it's something that's being discussed in detail or collectively throughout the entire valley.

And there's more, there's more nuance to it that I was aware of.

Um just the the intervening state laws and other requirements.

And so I'm I'm in the middle of this.

Um there's another there's a uh assistant of city attorney in Henderson, who is kind of the point person for Henderson that's been compiling what everybody else has been doing.

And I spoke with him about it during that meeting, and so I'm gonna be communicating with him some more.

And so it's in it's in process.

It's not it wasn't quite as simple as I thought it was gonna be.

Um, but I'm I'm working on that.

That's not you can hold my feet to the fire at the Chiefs, but I'm kind of taking that one on.

But it's okay.

So I pulled this up on the internet, and Clark County has actually passed an ordinance.

And it's very comprehensive, and it's 150 dollar fine per incident to the parent, not the child, but to the parent.

So um it's pretty restrictive and it would get the attention of a lot of parents and children not wearing helmets, going over 15 miles an hour, et cetera, et cetera.

So I'm hoping we're on the same lines as that.

That's good input for me as I'm working through this.

So yeah.

Councilman Wandless.

Yep.

Oh I don't I'm gonna this isn't the time to discuss that issue, right?

Because that it's not an agendized item.

So, but if you want to come talk to me later directly, that'd be great.

You'll just get a line of all of us.

Yeah, you can give me your opinions, yeah.

Councilman Wandless, did you have something else too?

Or no one okay.

Stick a fork in you.

Um other items to add, or okay.

All right, we will go on to our final public comment.

Oh, Travis.

Thank you, Mayor.

Council, just a quick update.

I sent the email.

Um, I will been trying to get the word out this Sunday in an attempt to limit this disruption of traffic on the boulevard.

I will be we need to completely shut down the intersection of Riverside and Mesquite Boulevard starting Sunday night.

That's this Sunday, February 8th at 8 p.m.

And it will go.

So we're going to mill out that intersection and pave that back as quick as we can.

But we're going showing till 1 p.m.

on Monday.

So we have alternate routes.

We'll be um all the traffic control showing the detours and that.

Um, but that's such a busy intersection.

I've sent it to all of the HOAs.

Um the water districts as it's part of their project.

They're put it on their Facebook website.

We've got it on our website.

So please um spread help spread the word that Sunday night, the intersection of Mesquite Boulevard and Riverside will be shut down until Monday at 1 p.m.

Right now.

Hopefully sooner, but that's what we're showing as being done.

So thank you.

You still got about a minute left.

You want to give us a quick update on the everything else?

So um, yes, thank you.

The traffic signal again, they got uh all the paving done last week.

They've put the pavement markings down, and that is still in um the queue for Monday to be in full operation.

It'll be in flash mode for about an hour while they um just double check everything.

We're gonna have all of the signal techs, uh the representatives for all of the equipment that we have there, just in case there's any last minute bugs.

We've worked through that, but uh we always like to have them when we do the full startup.

So that'll be Monday.

Um, and so that'll be in full operation.

Um, and then um it will be a fully operational light.

The uh, like I said, the work on the boulevard, uh, they're working milling out those sections today.

They'll be paving tomorrow and Thursday, and then unfortunately they have training, and so we won't see any action next week, other than the Sunday and Monday to do the intersection there.

Um the work on Canyon Crest and Horizon is going well.

They're continuing to put in the curb and gutter.

Um, they've been working on water line and utilities in that aspect.

So that's going really well with the construction on the fire station.

They poured the concrete slab for the app bay yesterday.

Um Brandon tells me that everything looks really good.

So the fire station's moving along nicely.

Um I'm hoping that the road matches up right now.

The the fire stations, you know, a little bit ahead of it.

But I think that with the roadway, um, they'll get it and we'll be able to have that at the exact same time.

The animal shelter, very excited.

Um looking great.

They're finishing, they're working on the items in the old portion of it.

And we I believe we do have the date finalized.

Uh help me if I get this wrong, but the fifth, I believe, right?

March.

Is it the fifth or the sixth?

I I believe it was the fifth, the Thursday.

I want to say the sixth.

Okay.

All right.

Fifth or sixth.

I will formalize that.

Um, I was thinking it was the fifth that they told me uh the Thursday, but we will have that ribbon.

Thursday the fifth Thursday the fifth.

That's correct.

How we all have no number five.

Number five.

So that'll be the ribbon cutting.

Yes.

And so um it'll be great.

Invite everybody to come and and we'll have Nancy's going to help uh put that.

She does a great job doing those ribbon cuttings to make sure the word is out.

And um Levitt and Hafen.

So this one, as I put in some of the reports, that was going really well.

But then the thing that has slowed us down a little bit is the Teamsters Union that works for Rinker Concrete, they're the ones that are do the pre-cast concrete boxes.

They're in a strike right now.

And so Rinker is bringing on others to work those, but that is push some of those back.

So with that in mind, when I organized this project, I wanted Levitt to be done first, so then I can completely shut Hafen and not close off the sunset greens.

And so um, because I don't have the ability to shut down Hafen and put them legally onto the private street.

That's not a public roadway.

So I needed Levitt to be done first, and with that box culvert being pushed back, it's kind of pushing that behind.

And so um we haven't seen as much work on that one, and that's part of the reason that's going there.

Otherwise, uh, they're doing a great job.

Just that one little that's beyond their control and and go on that way.

So thank you.

Thank you.

Um Councilwoman Pilly.

Councilman Wanis?

Your brain holds a lot of information, doesn't it?

Question on Riverside Mesquite.

Yes.

The milling through the night should go really well.

But if you check the weather really close to see what time you'll be able to start filling that and asphalting that a projected time when it would be done.

Yeah.

So with that, that's one of the things that uh for what we go by on the standard when we're laying asphalt is the base or the ground has to be 40 degrees or above.

And so looking at the weather, we should be able to start as soon as the sun comes up because the weather's showing that during that week we're not getting down into the the will be the high 30s and there.

So and the low 40s.

So we should be able to start the actual pavement operation at six or seven.

And that's why I say that I've left that open to one p.m.

Um that for a full closure.

But I believe that we'll be able to start moving traffic through there on the outside lanes um earlier than that.

But I want to make sure that everybody understands please use the alternate routes until um we get that open.

But good question.

Anything that's three inch and thicker is 40 degrees.

If it's less than that, it has to be 45 degrees and rising.

So for the asphalt.

Yeah.

I just looked at that actually today because that was a question that we had.

Yeah.

That's a good question.

It is.

It is.

Councilwoman Villan.

Thank you.

Travis, um the Hardy Way and Falcon Ridge signal.

When that comes up and working, are you gonna put any signage out there for people driving like new signals?

Yeah.

Or just a caution or or whatever, because I know you did that on Pioneer when they put in we're supposed to have the message board truck out there.

I thought they were gonna have it out there today, and I haven't been up there to double check, but they're gonna have that have is didn't see it.

So it'll be either tomorrow.

Um, and that will be going until we start that up.

Just to we're gonna put it right as you get past um is it long iron there in the reserve, uh, right past Shangri Law.

There's that little bowl out right there, and it'll be on the message board truck saying that new traffic pattern, just similar starting Monday.

Perfect.

All right, thank you.

You're welcome.

All right, any other public comment?

Okay, this meeting is adjourned.
