The meeting included ceremonial presentations, public comments, approval of the consent agenda, a detailed presentation from the Virgin Valley Water District, introduction of a bicycle and electric mobility device ordinance, and several public hearings and votes on land use permits, liquor licenses, and a bid award. Key outcomes included the approval of a new bike ordinance introduction, rejection of a conditional use permit for an auto glass shop, and approval of multiple liquor licenses and a spillway rehabilitation project. Consent Calendar - Unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included: approval of meeting minutes from May 26, June 9, June 16 (Technical Review and Special Canvass), June 18 (Emergency Canvass), and the July 14 agenda; approval of notifications of bills paid and purchase orders; and approval of Resolution No. R26-019 (Interlocal Contract for Pedestrian Access & Bus Shelter Pad Improvements) and Resolution No. R26-018 (Interlocal Contract for Trail Maintenance Volunteer Coordination FY 22-27). Public Comments & Testimony - Debbie Benham: Reported on the Parade of Lights Community Food Drive, noting 3,729.8 lbs collected in June and 4,801.1 lbs more as of the meeting, a 37.8% increase over last year. Thanked Sun City for hosting a nonprofit expo. - Mike Benham: Questioned the mayor about applications for a full-time city attorney (stated under consideration). Also criticized a police officer for making fun of Special Olympics participants and called for full-time code enforcement. - Ron Shackleford: Praised Randy Lobb and volunteers for the successful Fourth of July celebration. - Tess Boudreau (Mesquite Heritage Garden): Requested the city help find 1.5–2 acres of land for a new community garden, noting the current site (leased from Merlin Hafen for $1/year) will likely be sold. Asked for a benevolent landlord and access to water. - Nick Alfonsetti: Complained about code enforcement response to a neighbor's property (906 Chaparral) and called for a full-time code enforcement officer. - James Middle: Commented on the Virgin Valley Water District presentation, noting the variability of Virgin River flows based on Report 51 (1934 minimum 46.8 acre-feet, 1941 maximum 2,120 acre-feet). Urged healthy skepticism of water projections. - David Zeleniac (Water District board member): Praised the water district staff and the perennial yield study, which he called a "generational study." Encouraged posting the study online. - Jeff Reynolds: During the bike ordinance discussion, advocated for flags on mobility scooters and argued that helmets should be required for all on electric devices that go 25–30 mph, but not necessarily for regular bicycles. Supported the ordinance but wanted changes. - John Rosen: Supported the bike ordinance but called for a strong public communication program and addressed the need for traffic enforcement staffing. - Bob Bradbury: Opposed allowing e-bikes on sidewalks, arguing that the affirmative duty to yield is insufficient. Called for higher fines and insurance requirements. - Other public comments: Addressed the OHV rental legality, parking concerns for the auto glass shop, and concerns about data centers affecting water supply. Discussion Items - Virgin Valley Water District Presentation (Item 3.1): Aaron Bunker presented a detailed overview of the district's history, water resources, conservation efforts, and the recently completed perennial yield study. The study, conducted by GZA Geoscience, found a renewable yield of 20,421 acre-feet per year, well above the current allocation of 12,271 acre-feet. The state engineer has been presented with the results, and a formal petition to update the perennial yield is expected. Council members commended the district for conservation and planning. - Introduction of Bill B26-006 – Bicycle and Electric Micro Mobility Device Regulations (Item 6.1): City Attorney Adam Anderson presented the revised ordinance, which includes definitions, a requirement to yield to pedestrians, operation location rules, a prohibition on distracted riding (hands-free only), and a penalty structure. The ordinance requires helmets for all riders (a point of contention). Councilman Parrish moved to introduce the bill for a public hearing at a later date, seconded by Councilman Ennis. The motion passed. Council members expressed differing views on helmet mandates and penalty amounts, with Mayor Wandless opposing adult helmet mandates and calling penalties too high. - Conditional Use Permit – Virgin River Adventure Rentals (Item 7.5): Approved despite a discrepancy: Captain Rowley stated OHVs on city streets are legal with proper registration, but a text from the police chief (received during the vote) indicated it is not legal. Council proceeded with approval. Councilman Wandless noted the chief's comment but the motion passed. - Conditional Use Permit – CA Auto Glass and Tinting (Item 7.6): After a public hearing, the council voted 3-2 against the permit. Council members Ennis, Parrish, and Gallo opposed, citing inadequate parking, safety concerns with backing onto Whitey Lee Lane, and potential traffic issues. Councilwoman Fielding supported it, noting the lot had been vacant for 35 years. Key Outcomes - Consent Agenda: Approved unanimously. - Presentation from Virgin Valley Water District: Accepted by motion (Councilwoman Fielding, second by Councilwoman Gallo). - Resolution R26-016 (Flood Control Maintenance): Approved unanimously. - Bill B26-006 (Bicycle/Micro Mobility Ordinance): Introduced for public hearing at a future meeting.

Note: Legal status disputed. - Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, and Variance – CA Auto Glass (Item 7.6): Motion failed 3-2 (no second for the motion to approve; Councilwoman Fielding made a motion, but no second recorded, so the motion failed). - Bid Award – Town Wash Detention Basin Spillway Rehabilitation (Item 7.7): Awarded to WRX Contracting for $1,349 (lowest bid). Approved unanimously. - Full Off-Sale Liquor License – Lee's Discount Liquor (Item 7.8): Approved unanimously. - Restaurant with Bar Liquor License – Passport Diner (Item 7.9): Approved unanimously. - Insurance Program Renewal (Item 7.10): Approved unanimously.

The Mesquite Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Board met on July 7, 2026, at 2:45 PM at Mesquite City Hall. The meeting focused on approving a consent agenda and discussing a funding request for architectural and design services related to the renovation of the Relief Society House and the Rock House. Councilman Parrish was excused, and the city manager was absent due to traffic. Public comments raised concerns about RDA rules, cost overruns, and historical preservation, while the board ultimately approved $50,000 for the services. Consent Calendar - Approval of the July 7, 2026 RDA Meeting Agenda: The board voted unanimously to accept the consent agenda. Motion by Councilwoman Fielding, seconded by an unnamed board member, passed without opposition. Public Comments & Testimony - Bill Mitchell (resident/business owner): Raised three points: (1) The RDA rules limit architectural funding to $30,000 and require two bids before approval, arguing the $50,000 request exceeds that limit. (2) Expressed concern that costs could escalate based on past projects (e.g., the Justice Department renovation costing $300,000 for architect monitoring). (3) Criticized the RDA’s outreach to business owners, claiming the program is poorly promoted and difficult to navigate. He later questioned the legality of the board’s approval. - George Galt (speaking as a tourism representative): Supported the project, emphasizing that doing both the Relief Society House and Rock House together would save money. Asked whether the architect would be qualified in historical properties. Also suggested naming the area (e.g., “Settler Square”) to boost tourism. Expressed confidence in the project’s alignment with tourism goals. - Chekhov Ford (resident): Asked whether the city owns the property (confirmed yes) and suggested consulting The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for restoration expertise, citing Nauvoo as an example. The city staff responded that the church has been contacted but considers this a regional, not national, historical site and is unlikely to assist. - Doug Hanshaw (resident): Questioned the total project cost and whether there is a cap. He noted that $50,000 is already allocated without a final estimate, and expressed concern about potential cost overruns. The chair and staff explained that the architect’s plans will provide a cost estimate, and the board will decide whether to proceed based on affordability. Discussion Items - Item 3.1: Funding for Architectural and Design Services ($50,000) - Staff member Mr. Anderson (Travis) presented the request: The city needs architect-generated plans to obtain competitive bids for renovating the Relief Society House and the Rock House. The $50,000 is a ballpark figure; the actual contract will be brought back for approval. Discussion addressed whether to include both houses in one architect contract to save money. Board member Wonnacott (referred to as “Wonless” in transcript) suggested splitting the $50,000 into two $25,000 allocations for each house, but later agreed to approve as presented to avoid potential open meeting law issues. The board also clarified that the funding covers structural work only, not landscaping. Staff noted that architectural services are procured based on qualifications, not price, per Nevada law (NRS for professional services). Key Outcomes - Approval of $50,000 for Architectural Services: The board voted to approve the item as presented – $50,000 for architectural and design services associated with the renovation and remodeling of the Relief Society House. Motion by Councilwoman Fielding, seconded by another board member, passed unanimously. The staff will proceed with the qualification-based selection process and bring back a contract for final approval. Note: The meeting’s agenda and transcript date conflict (agenda says July 7, 2026; transcript incorrectly says “June 7th, 2026”). The correct date is July 7, 2026, as used in the agenda and minutes. Public commenter Bill Mitchell claimed the RDA rules cap architectural funding at $30,000, but the board did not address this discrepancy during the vote.

The meeting opened with public comments and work session items. The mayor pulled Item 7.8 (City Manager salary increase) from consideration after public sentiment. No formal votes were taken; the meeting focused on resident concerns about proposed code changes and city transparency. Public Comments & Testimony - Wes (Mesquite resident): Addressed Item 6.1 (bicycle and electric micro-mobility device regulations). Suggested the city include a redlined comparison showing differences between the proposed municipal code and existing Clark County regulations, which have been in effect for seven months, so residents can understand jurisdictional changes (e.g., legality of scooter operations between Bunkerville and Mesquite). - Doug Honschel: Raised concerns about city expenditure transparency. Mentioned a May 19 finance communication and a subsequent public records request (submitted 37 days prior) that had not been answered. Questioned discrepancies in reported figures: City Council combined salaries listed as $120,000 (which he calculated differently from the mayor’s explanation of $14,000 per member plus $18,000 for mayor), benefits of $155,000, and the existence of a non-department with a million dollars in expenses but no wages. Also cited salary listings for three “animal control receptionists” (actual role: animal control officers) each over $50,000, and a sanitation billing clerk at $45,000. Expressed frustration over lack of response from city officials. - Ron Shackleford: Commented on Item 7.8, asking to see the City Manager’s contract. Noted the city charter committee meeting scheduled for that Friday. The mayor subsequently pulled the item. Discussion Items - Item 7.8 (Pulled): Mayor announced removal of the proposal for a 5% salary increase for City Manager Becca Schrupp for FY 2026/2027, stating public sentiment was against the timing and acknowledging it was “not appropriate.” He indicated the contract would be reconsidered before December, per the contract’s annual review requirement. - Item 6.1 (Mentioned in Public Comment): Proposed ordinance amending Title 6 for bicycle and electric micro-mobility device regulations. No council discussion occurred beyond Wes’s public comment. Key Outcomes - Item 7.8 was pulled from the agenda; no vote taken. - No other items were voted on or discussed formally. - The meeting concluded after public comments, with the next regular city council meeting scheduled for the following Tuesday (July 14, 2026).

Councilman Gallo asked about financial statement timeliness; Bryce stated he is working on catching up. The resolution was approved. - Item 2.3 – MOU between Administrative Office of the Courts and Mesquite Municipal Court: Moved from consent agenda. City Manager Shrupp stated the software system costs about $9,000 per year. Councilwoman Gallo asked about prior costs but no comparison was available. The MOU was approved. - Item 6.1 – Bid Award for Pioneer Park Field 1 Dugouts and Backstop Project: Travis (Public Works) presented six bids ranging from $224,255 to $370,685. The engineer's estimate was $200,000. Staff recommended award to BHC Inc. for $224,255. Councilman Wanless argued this project should have been on consent agenda since it was already budgeted. Councilwoman Fielding confirmed there is $24,000 in capital projects to cover the difference. The bid was awarded. - Item 6.2 – Presentation of Possible Trade of City Land with Privately Owned Land at 750 W Mesquite Blvd: Richard Bowler (listing agent) presented the concept of trading 4.53 commercial acres on the boulevard for city-owned single-family land in the new development area, based on appraised value. Councilwoman Gallo added context that the land could be used for an indoor pickleball facility, sparked by a constituent. Mayor Whipple framed the trade as a way to acquire boulevard land for future economic development. Councilman Wanless expressed concerns about potential loss to the city and wanted appraisals and a clear plan. Councilwoman Fielding stressed the agenda item only concerned the land trade, not any specific use, and noted she had seen a Letter of Intent from March and two appraisals ($1M and $850,000) for the boulevard property. Councilman Parrish also requested appraisals for the city's raw land. After public comment, Councilman Parrish made a motion to accept the presentation and direct staff to obtain necessary appraisals and documentation, bringing the item back on July 14, 2026.

The City of Mesquite held a special meeting on June 16, 2026, at 2:45 PM to canvass the June 9, 2026 Primary Municipal Election for Councilmember Seat 1. However, due to an unexpected delay in receiving official election results from the Secretary of State, the canvass could not be completed. The meeting was adjourned with a decision to hold an emergency meeting on Thursday, June 18, 2026, to finalize the canvass. Public Comments - Wes Boger, a Mesquite resident, asked how the public would be notified of the emergency meeting.

The meeting time was tentatively set for 4:00 PM, subject to adjustment due to a DAR awards event. Discussion Items - Item 2.1 – Canvass of the June 9, 2026 Primary Municipal Election: City Clerk Julie Goodsell reported that the Secretary of State had not yet provided the official election results. The original meeting was scheduled for June 16, 2026, but the results were not expected until June 17 or 18. Given the statutory 10-day deadline to complete the canvass, and the fact that Friday June 19 is a federal holiday, the City decided to hold an emergency meeting on Thursday, June 18, 2026, under emergency meeting procedures.

The council addressed several agenda items for inclusion on a future regular meeting, including a presentation on a proposed land swap, a budget augmentation, a tourism grant presentation, and a court MOU. Public comment raised concerns about placing a bid award on the consent calendar, prompting a motion to move that item to administrative items.

Discussion Items - Proposed Land Swap (750 West Mesquite Boulevard): Councilwoman Gallo introduced a proposal for a land exchange involving a 4.5-acre parcel at 750 W.

The private party (Spencer Apple) plans to develop an indoor pickleball court and a youth hangout space.
