Okay, get used.

Welcome everybody to the Tuesday, June 16th, 2026 technical review meeting for the City of Mesquite.

We will go ahead and start off with opening public comment.

Okay, seeing none.

We'll move on to our work session.

Do we have anything to add today?

Councilwoman Gallo.

I'm also gonna need your assistance with this because it's a project we've been working on.

Okay, yep.

Um so what I I and I don't know how you guys want to word this.

We're looking at doing a uh land trade for a piece of property on Mesquite Boulevard be across from the movie theater at 750 West Mesquite Boulevard, four and a half acres.

Um Mr.

Apple is looking to put in an indoor pickleball court.

And um I understand now uh John is a good friend of his John Rosen, and they're looking to put the upstairs call something called the hangout for for young people.

So we're looking to do a land trade.

Now I need your help because I don't remember where the land is that they're trading it for.

So the land they're interested in, and of course, this is just kind of start the process and get some you know uh bids and that kind of thing and some uh appraisals, I guess, is the 40 acres set aside by the master plan committee at the north end of that 500 and or 490 whatever acres.

Um so basically an equivalent amount of acreage to whatever the trade value would be four and a half on the boulevard versus however many it would end up being of our property at the north end of that 495 acres, specifically the 40-acre parcel that the master plan committee put aside set aside for.

So whether that would be the whole 40 acres or a part or what that would end up being.

So we also want to look at the fact that there's electricity and water on the one piece and there's nothing on the other.

So that's it would be more of a.

Yeah, so we'd have to get appraisals and value for value.

But yeah, so what we can talk about here is just the agenda item to be added during the meeting.

And so explain to me is it kind of you want to just get the process going?

Because usually we would um under the charter, we'd have to get some appraisals and do that, and then once we've got that, then we bring it in front of the council for the first meeting where we the council determines that this could be something that could be sold or otherwise transferred for economic development, is how I was thinking it would go.

So maybe it's do we usually do basically the first I could be wrong.

Is the first step saying do we are we interested in having this slide?

Yeah, so we we could we could have just saying, hey, for this piece of property, we're ready to move forward with the so that's basically I think what we're looking for, are we interested in doing this?

And if we are, then let's go through all that other so it would be the consideration of a resolution for the sale of whatever that property is for economic development.

Well, I'd I'd say yeah, for for the sale or otherwise or other transfer of that property for economic development purposes.

Um Martine would usually be on that.

Yeah, she would be doing on the land.

This would be Martin's the one who's most familiar with this process and would be the one to start that.

Okay, so and we the city did do a swap in 2021 before, so I know we've done it before, but we could look at that and see what we did.

But but for this meeting, the motion would be to add an item to you know consider a resolution to sell or otherwise transfer that property for economic development purposes.

Okay.

Um, but what what is the property exactly?

750 West uh Mosquite Bowl is the one piece.

That's the one we don't own.

That's the one we don't own.

So we need to make identify that.

It doesn't necessarily have an address on it.

Umge parcel number, if we got the parcel number, we could put that in.

But you could pass a motion directing like staff to prepare the appropriate agenda item.

Okay.

I think that would be sufficient.

Okay.

So can we have discussion on that, or should we just have public comment and then make the motion and then yeah, I would do public comment and then a motion to add that to the agenda for next meeting.

Okay.

So I'll go ahead and open that up for public comment.

Yes, please come forward, John.

Thank you.

I wasn't sure.

It's not on.

There you go.

I I wasn't sure at what point I it would be appropriate for me to make some comments.

I just wanted to explain that one of the things we want to do with this particular agenda item is we want to change the paradigm that we use for our interaction and communication with our community.

And I think I've heard you uh you've heard me actually comment on this at some point before.

Um I'm hoping that we can present the concept to the community at the very beginning parts of the process and then update them throughout the various stages of the process so that when it finally comes to a time for the city council to take some definitive action or make a decision.

This isn't something that's coming out of the blue to people.

They've been brought along all the way and they've understood the evolution of the planning, which is ultimately going to lead hopefully to some kind of a proposal and action on the part of the city.

So if it's not inappropriate at the city council meeting when we talk about this, I will I will be doing precisely that.

Is that no?

I think that'd be fine because it'd be within the the confines of the agenda item.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, obviously we won't be asking for any action or any approval.

I'll just be describing what the intent is that's causing this transfer to be uh property transfer to be considered.

So in that case, I mean it could be done different ways, even either with that initial agenda item to approve a resolution, or it could just be a general item to discuss the transfer of the property or the trade of the property as described.

And it's a presentation.

Yeah, it could be done now for the second of those.

So ultimately, um Spencer Apple, who's who is working this the project out, who's actually started out as an indoor pickleball court, has been out of the country for a few months.

He's been traveling.

So he should be back by the end of July.

So we'll be he's actually the money man.

So we also want to make sure that we bring him in on what's going on.

And I will clarify Spencer's asked me to be his representative.

Right.

I have zero financial interest or or tie commercial ties at all to the property.

I I never had, and I never will.

So I I will just, but I've been talking with him about a concept I've had in my mind.

He's been telling me about hit his work, and we see uh a linkage there that could be beneficial to everyone.

Yes, so it could be uh can you know it would be a presentation on a potential land swap with fill in the blank, whatever the guy's name is.

Um, Apple Spencer Apple.

Yeah, that might be a good way if we're not worried about jumping the formal process, but just have a presentation first, that would be fine.

So that would look like a motion to add a presentation for a land swap with Spencer Apple with property owned by Spencer Apple, something like that.

Yeah, he he doesn't actually own any of the property right now.

He doesn't own any of the property, he doesn't own any of the property, right?

Right.

Yeah, the city owns one the the property and the city is considering a land swap, so then Spencer can make a an offer to purchase the property for this contest.

Does this Spencer Apple own the property on Musquete Boulevard now?

No.

No.

No.

Who owns the property?

The city does.

No, no, no, no, John.

No, sorry.

Uh which Rich.

Well probably not.

Okay.

So if we're swapping, if he doesn't own the property, how do we let's let's be real careful.

I don't want to get into a discussion about the details.

This is just about how we're gonna how we're gonna designate this agenda item.

So the property is owned by a private citizen, and the private citizen will be making a swap with the city.

What is the address of the property?

750 West Mesquite Boulevard.

Yeah, so I would leave it at that.

Say consideration of a presentation for a land swap for 750 West Mesquite Boulevard.

Yeah, okay.

Thanks, John.

You got it?

Martin will be the expert here and kind of leave Martin Green.

Can I make a public comment?

Um, I I was gonna suggest that exact thing that we just start off, and we do that a lot.

We just they come do a presentation just so you can absorb it and I can take it from there.

So I'll go ahead and put that on the agenda.

Thank you.

Well, we'll need a motion to add it, but yeah.

Yeah.

I'll make the motion.

Oh, we got come on.

Hi, um good afternoon.

My name is Bob Mazar, and I'm a mosquite resident, and I'm easily confused.

Um we're talking about the upcoming agenda, right?

Correct.

Okay.

So I question whether item 2.3 belongs on consent.

We're talking about uh adding a specific item to the upcoming agenda right now.

Oh, okay.

So this is not public comment on the agenda then.

No.

Not yet, but there'll be an opportunity.

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, for sure, Bobby.

Okay, if we have no more public comment on adding that item, um councilwoman Gallo.

I'll make a motion to add the discussion.

Is that we're gonna do?

Yeah, to add add an i item for a presentation regarding a land swap for property bullets.

That works.

Okay, do I have a second?

I'll second.

Okay, call for the vote.

Yes, parachute.

Yeah, and a sign.

Galloway.

Okay, motion passes.

Um Bryce Anderson.

Yeah, I wanted to add a item for a resolution to augment the current year's budget for year end.

We had um excess revenues for what was put into the budget for this current year, and we need to do some augmentations for year-in close out uh 2526.

Okay.

Um, do we have any public comment on iding adding a uh budget augmentation?

Okay, no councilwoman filling.

Thank you, Mayor.

I'll make that motion to um do a resolution to augment the budget for 2025 2026.

Do I have a second?

I'll second.

Okay, call for the vote.

Galloway.

Okay, Becca.

Thank you, Mayor and Council.

Um, I would like to add under special items and presentations uh Morph travel Nevada Tourism Grant presentation.

Uh for so uh presentation on the travel nevada uh tourism grants uh through Morph.

Okay.

Um do we have any public comment on adding a presentation from Morph?

Okay.

Um do I have a motion?

Councilwoman Gallow?

Um I'll make a motion to add the Morph Travel Nevada presentation.

Do I have a second?

I'll second.

Okay, call for the vote.

Galloway.

Okay, do we have anything else to add or subtract?

I have one.

Okay.

We're on a roll today.

Yeah.

Um, I would request that we add uh consideration of an MOU between uh the Mesquite Municipal Court and the Office Administrative Office of the Courts.

And this is related to um a statewide case management system that's being adopted, but I think appropriate for the consent agenda.

Okay.

Do I have any public comment on that?

Okay.

Do I have a motion to add that item?

Councilwoman Gallow?

I'll make a motion to add the MOU.

Um the to the next meeting, the MOU for the courts.

And I'll provide it between the municipal court and the off administrative office of the court and the minute administrative offices.

Okay, do I have a second?

I'll second.

Okay, call for the vote.

Galloway.

Okay, anything else to add or subtract.

Okay.

Um, with that, do we have um public comment on the work session?

Bob uh Bob Mazar from Mosquite.

I I question whether item 2.3 belongs on the consent agenda.

Consideration of a bid award.

Mayor.

I think I can help answer that question.

So uh routinely on these projects, um, we put those under consent agenda, either roadways or this project here is to for the removal and replacement of the existing dugouts on field number one at Pioneer Park.

Um it is at the discretion of the council if they would like to pull those off.

So we have no problem if you'd like to pull that off and put it under administrative items.

Um there's no real uh reason other than it helps to make the agendas quicker that we put that under consent, but we have zero problem of pulling that out for further all of the information will be in the packet, um, just like they are always so we're we're good with leaving it under consent or putting it in admin items, whatever council would love.

And mayor maybe let me jump in here too.

Under the Mesquite municipal code, this is the rules of procedure.

Uh an item can be pulled from the consent agenda by the mayor or upon the upon the request of a member of the public or any council member or the city manager or the city attorney.

So basically anybody can ask to have something removed from the consent agenda.

So if that if this is a request, or you know, like you say, you could you could leave it and then it could be requested during the meeting, or if we just want to jump to the point right now and take it off, that'd be fine too.

Would you like to request that it be moved?

Well, uh, I'm good with whatever you guys do.

It just seemed to me that you don't consider anything on the consent agenda.

And this says consideration of bid award.

Um it just seemed odd to me to be on the consent calendar.

That's all.

Whatever you guys decide, I'm gonna be fine with.

Okay, thank you.

Last city council, you I don't know if it was the same thing that was on consent agenda, something to do with roadways or or something.

I don't remember it was in the consent agenda.

I think that should be brought up separately than in consent.

I mean, if you got a $500 bill for jail food, that's one thing.

But when you got a large sum, I don't know how much it was because it I don't think it was in the consent agenda.

That should be brought before the public in case somebody, you know, that's just kind of like slipping it in.

So for transparency, I think any any major purchase, you know, a hundred thousand dollars, fifty thousand, whatever it is.

Um it's like putting the bathrooms, the four hundred and twelve thousand dollar bathroom in consent agenda.

That's not the right place.

So my uh opinion is that it should be brought out for transparency anytime you have a large bill.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jeff.

Um Julia, did you get it?

We can make sure that that gets moved to the administration.

Um if Adam if you want to go ahead and do it now, then well, I I'm just wondering if we wanted to set like a limit, would so this would be something we shall we could have an agenda item if we want to amend the municipal code to require certain um you know guardrails around what's on the consent agenda, but that's not appropriate for this meeting.

Um but uh but as for the purposes of right now, the council just needs to determine should we move this item off or not?

But if we wanted to create, you know, if okay, we could we could look at that in more detail, but it's not appropriate for this meeting to talk about it.

And mayor, if I may, just one as far as a little background.

Um, I put this on the consent agenda because following with regional flood control and regional transportation efficient, all of those meetings that I go to, they have all of these contracts under consent.

So I was just following that lead.

It's not we're trying to hide anything or or slip anything past.

Um the last one was on consent agenda for the roadway construction.

Um, we're happy to pull those off.

And and I can make sure that in the future those are all under administrative.

Um, I was just following what what we see with regional flood control and RTC, but it's really nothing nefarious.

Um, so I'm happy to it.

We don't even have to go down the road of setting an amount.

I'll just make sure that any of these um are on administrative item.

No big deal.

Okay, thank you, Travis.

Uh councilwoman fielding.

I'm just gonna make the motion.

Okay, go ahead.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, thank you for that request, sir.

I will go ahead and make a motion to move 2.3 to the administrative.

Okay, do we have a second?

A second.

Okay, call for the vote.

NSI Galloway Parish.

Patty.

And did you get Jeff Reynolds on uh the second comment or there?

Okay.

Um any other public comment on the work session?

Okay, seeing none, we will move to our final public comment period.

That was that was final public comment.

That was public comment on the work session, and then this will be final public comments.

So and seeing none of that, this meeting is adjourned.
