The City Council held a work session and regular meeting on August 6, 2025. The work session focused on reviewing the city's strategic plan, assessing progress on projects, and refining priorities. The regular meeting addressed a contentious EMS budget dispute with Clark County, modifications to the Downtown Development Investment Fund (DDIF) map, and extensive public testimony from downtown business owners frustrated by the High Side construction project and lack of communication. Several routine orders and personnel actions were approved unanimously.
I am it. Yes, that's what we thought. Okay. We're uh here, can you believe Jimmy here? Well, it decided to add a strategic point those we need. What we're gonna do, even with this ALC come back and go through this with us, see what we feel like we've accomplished, what we need still accomplished, what we want to take out the problems, what we want to put on those properties with thirds up for us as always, so I'm gonna try to keep what you have to jump to. Uh really jobs we didn't have to find the job about a year and a half now, of course. Um quite a bit. Uh the previous plan, uh, go through those priority decisions that you all send up back there. Uh what I achieved or not achieved, what's still a priority for you all. Oh, and we maybe may need to be taken off that uh anything that you want to have to I'm so excited to be back here. Um there's back to Tad. I love him dearly, but I'm I'd be here in his head. Um, I should be thinking notes um in Microsoft Word. And so um, if I just miss something or I don't hear you, um I'll just ask me because we didn't have her on the better thing problem. So we do a little bit of a little quickly that we did not have a strip. So that's the reason we have this funding. We all didn't use childhood. All right. So if we'd like to get started looking at uh little interest plan and the hot floor goals and place the way uh you all are along with us that by top federal meetings on that infrastructure and probably light with those uh two years. How is that more how do that change is it any different? Just something to added times that we take off of that. Is that including the current beyond more than five things of farmers or that? That's just the top four goals that's kind of the overarching thing for the profile in the spot for those projects uh how called in those uh areas. Okay, how's the commission feel about leaving those as the top four? You want to change it? Anything we're working on all the loading, you know. We have been um this past two years focusing on a lot of infrastructure, a lot of infrastructure, and I'm hoping this if we stuck to know it's focusing on quality of life and working and bringing some things to the community that are being asked to be brought by our direction. So John, does that include can we make a comment on your current non-boarding projects or of course uh feel free to go ahead and talk about those current ongoing uh which ones have you been able to complete in the past two years with one throughout ongoing still commission to help me with this? Okay, we completed a temporary school water project. We have completed for Fulton Road. We'll be having uh we'll be heading for that on August the 27th at 1030. We have continuing more if you write Shannon or Lincoln Street east, yes. Uh excuse of the west side is complete. The east side we will we hope to start on the first on the east side uh a bit uh after the first of the year. But by by then we are hoping that uh all the stuff is done with demolition, re uh those folks that live there being moved to new locations and things like that, and habitat should be able to start after the first of the year. So we're looking at that project we completed here in 2026. Probably building six houses is going building six houses, finding six families that are that those eight each house on the west side of making free cost habitat about a hundred and ten to a hundred and eighteen thousand dollars on the east side of each house is going to cost between 145 and 16. Thank you for that. So it looks like we've accomplished Fulton Road extension. Lincoln is still a work in progress. One side is complete, and the high side will be complete with the completion date of November 1st. And if the rates are going, it may be completed sooner. So it looks like we've taken care of our roads quite a bit. And this um seven stream project is in design right now, the Palma. Um so we're strank with that will end uh December of 27. So that's kind of designed this year. Um it'll be bid and start work there uh for next year and then finish 27. All right, you're all scalp as we go through your page and splash pad is basically completed. We'll be dedicating that um at the end of August.
