Dr. Michelle Shelley Cruz Crawford is an individual with many talents. After graduating from the College of Southern Nevada High School and UNLV, she has spent more than two decades serving Nevada

through education, public service, and community advocacy. A career educator, Shelley has taught students from kindergarten through college, and currently serves as a principal of CC Ronaldo

Elementary School. At Ronaldo, she has worked to remove barriers facing students and families, strengthen opportunities for multilingual learners, and develop pathways for students and educators to

succeed. She has also been a strong advocate for increasing the diversity of Nevada's educator workforce. She also takes care of her people. I see her on her social media uh asking for supports for

her students. She hosts parties at her house. She really is trying to build a community for her school community. Her advocacy has extended beyond her school. She helped develop legislation creating

funding for educator recruitment and worked to remove financial barriers that prevented paraprofessionals from becoming licensed teachers. She has also advocated for resources that support students

and families facing many challenges such as food insecurity, housing instability, and access to essential services. In 2022, Shelley became the first elected Latino regent of the Nevada system of

higher education, bringing her perspective as an educator, parent, and first generation college graduate to higher education leadership. One of her colleagues, her NI colleagues recently shared with

me, Shelley had a reputation for listening. She showed up. She asked questions. She was present and engaged. Her commitment to service also extends to the national to the Nevada Air National Guard

where she serves as an equal opportunity officer. She joined the Guard in 2020 because she wanted another way to give back to the state she calls home. Today, Shelley serves as the Nevada State

Senator for District 1 and chair of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources. Across every role as a mother, educator, principal, regent, military officer, and legislator, her work has centered on

the same belief that here someone that where someone starts should not determine how far they can go. Her life and service reflects a simple commitment to Las Vegas and Nevada. creating opportunities,

removing barriers, and making sure the next generation has access to the possibilities that were not always available to those who came before them. I will add that while she wears many hats, her

favorite role is playing mom to her daughter Lola and son Gustavo and her partner for life to her husband Mike. I've had the pleasure of knowing Shelley for about four years. What I appreciate is her

authenticity, her huge smile, her willingness to say yes and use her power and position in the service of others and to solve problems. That's something we should all aspire to do. And her energy, I

don't know how she does it, but she has so many hats and gives 120% to everything she does. Shelley, we invite you to please come up. Senator Cruz Crawford more officially. [applause] Thank you for

being a shining star in our community. Thank you. We have a proclamation. Essentially, today is Dr. Michelle Shelley Cruz Crawford Day. So, she gets a whole day to herself. [applause] She's also our

citizen of the month. So, her picture will be displayed um downtown for the next month. So, when you drive by, give a honk. [applause] [applause] >> Good morning, everyone. >> Good morning, CC Rono

Rams. Thank you for coming. Who wants to see a performance for my cheerleaders? >> [cheering] [applause] >> I just want to thank my special guests for being here, my students, um my beautiful

families, um my staff. Um I don't know if a lot of you guys know, but um I grew up with a lot of challenges that you have. Um, I grew up in foster care in and out and um was able to make it to be a

principal, get my doctorate, join the military, and I'm just so proud to be um the first Latina principal to serve CC Ronaldo. Our schools are the lifeline to our community. When our families

struggle, they call their school. And over the last few months, I've had families call me because they're having family members deported. And it's been really special to be able to wrap them around

with resources, help pay their rent, and get them representation they need. And I'm just so proud to be in a position to serve you because it is such a gift, an honor, and I couldn't do that alone.

So, I want to thank my beautiful husband of 24 years, Michael Crawford, for just being my heart and my light and always believing in me. And my beautiful daughter, Lola Crawford, she's the coach, our

cheer coach for our school. Not only does she teach at Cheyenne High School, she also gives her time several hours a week. And that would not be made possible without the city of Las Vegas. Our

students are able to do inner city sports for free thanks to City of Las Vegas. Sports are very expensive and they're able to teach students how to work with people that might think differently than

them and work toward a common goal, which is something we all need to learn. I'd also like to thank my beautiful best friend Danielle Engles for being here today [snorts] and my colleague and buddy

Colonel Belaloo for being here today. And um thank you for for honoring me, beautiful friend, um Nancy Brun. [applause] One last thing is I have a a very very special friend, Valerie Brown. her

husband Anthony. Um she nominated me for this because she's seen the the trials and the tribulation and the work um that we've done. And um I just want to thank you for being such a dear friend.

Okay, start at 10. So, let's go. [laughter] >> A principal's job is never done. >> For our final item, Councilwoman Sandra Summers Armstrong will recognize the work of some outstanding young people in

Ward Five. Councilwoman Thank you so much, Mayor. I tell you what, what a beautiful way to start our morning with all of that energy. I was laughing with my colleagues because I think I was in the

first grade and I was a junior cheerleader or something and I thought I was really doing something with my little cheer and this is exciting to see our young people feeling included. Um, and so today

I'm here to recognize a couple of young people from Ward Five who may not be on a cheer team, but certainly have done some amazing things in their own right um to to accomplish uh the amazing uh level

of Eagle Scouts. I'd like to welcome um Anastasia Aana if she's here or Mason Gilbert and Lee uh Mason Gilbert is sick and Lee Fukia. Oh my goodness, my students. They may be in school. All right,

that's too bad. Well, we're still going to honor them. Um, we've started a tradition in Ward 5 that when we honor every year our students who have reached their Eagle Scouts and our Girl Scouts and

today we have three young people from Ward Five who have risen to the occasion and done some amazing work in the community to reach this goal. These students have worked hard with their scout leaders

um to do community service and to get their Eagle Scouts, which is the highest honor in the scouts. And so I'll just mention their names. We do have plaques for them. We thought they were going to

make it, but obviously they didn't make it this morning, but just to speak their names, they are Anastasia Pana. Uh she reached Eagle Scout, Lee Fukioa, and Mason Gilbert. So, I just want to thank

them and honor them for their hard work and thank you everybody for being here. >> Oh, very cool. All right. Thank you very much. All right. Um, if I could ask the members of the city council to

please stay down and invite Cara to join me here at the podium. Um, our councilwoman Carara Kelly stepped in when Victoria Seaman took another position with the federal government. There was a an

opening that we had to fill. I can't think of anybody that would have done a more um remarkable job than you have done and we are all very grateful to you. Um, the W 2 citizens did not miss a beat.

They were well represented from the beginning of your tenure and I am quite certain until the very moment that you leave, you will continue to represent them to the best of your ability which is quite

impressive. So on behalf of the entire city council, we want to thank you for stepping up. Um we know this is not an easy job, but you have done a wonderful job and represented all of the city of Las

Vegas very very well. So, thank you so much and we're hoping that you'll say a few words. >> Thank you very much, Mayor. [clears throat] Pardon me. Thank you for those lovely sentiments and comments.

Uh I I I stand before you today as one of the most grateful people uh ever to serve. It has been such an incredible joy. uh unexpectedly an incredible joy uh because I really thought having sat where

you sit for so many so many meetings and things I thought I'd wanna I'd find some of it tedious and I just haven't. I have found it so fascinating and interesting. I have been very very impressed with

the quality of the staff that we hire and their ability to they work so hard every day for each one of you and so do these remarkable colleagues of mine. There isn't anyone here who I have witnessed

um you know I guess the the saying is phoning it in but that doesn't they each person here gives their heart and soul to representing their constituents in the ward uh and and the businesses and

everything and uh spend quite a bit of time um contemplating their decisions that they're going to make. It it makes me as a resident of the city of Las Vegas and as a native Neadan and a native Las

Vegas so very very proud. I had two goals. Um the first goal was the most important to me in that I wanted the constituents to feel that they were well represented by someone they did not elect. And

I've worked very hard to do that. And I've gotten very good feedback. Perhaps the people who aren't happy haven't told me. I welcome you. I am still here in the four weeks until the new person who is

selected which is yet to be determined right now is selected and um so I we are here to continue to serve you. I'm showing up. We're having meetings and uh it is an honor to do so. Secondly, um I

really wanted uh to to show the city council that they made a good choice. Not the best choice, even though I thought it was the best choice, but a good choice. And uh haven't asked them yet, haven't

pulled them, but uh I hope that they feel uh proud in the choice that they made. This has been a remarkable opportunity. I have been humbled. Uh, I have found such joy, as I said, and meaning in

helping all of the citizens of Las Vegas, working with each of you and the issues that are important to you. You have t uh taught me and and modeled such grace and congeniality. It has been a blessing

and and I'm forever grateful. And finally to my family, in particular my husband uh Paul Larson and my daughter Cat Panabiano who um I I did this full-time and I put all my effort into it and then

didn't do much at home because I was so tired on the weekends. So as a result uh they've taken on their own load and uh we all show up and when we excel it is always because we're both standing on

shoulders of giants and we have huge support around us and I'm so grateful for that. So, thank you, mayor. >> Thank you. And I know I can't lift this. Uh, would you lift your gift? Okay. [laughter] On

on behalf of all of us, we want to thank you for your service. I know your constituents were well served and we wanted to give you the bouquet of flowers just to know how much we appreciated what you

have done. >> Thank you. >> You're very welcome. >> [applause] >> I will reconvene the city council meeting promptly at 9:30. I will now reconvene the city council meeting. Agenda item number seven,

public comment during this portion of the agenda must be limited to matters on the agenda for action. The amount of time any single speaker is allowed will be limited to two minutes. Please say which

agenda item you will be speaking about. All comments made will be cross referenced to those specific items. If anyone submitted a speaker card or wishes to speak under this portion of the agenda,

please come to the podium and state your name for the record. This is your opportunity to address the council. The council is not able to respond or engage in dialogue. You may also address the

council at the end of the meeting during citizens participation regarding matters within the jurisdiction of the city. Um although you are not prohibited from speaking during both public comment

periods, we kindly ask that your comments are not repetitive. We will set the time at two minutes. Um, we are going to ask the Cork and Thorn people to please wait until that agenda item is called for

action. And if you can refrain from speaking during public comment, I think it will go faster and be more effective if you're actually speaking during the time that um we are hearing the agenda item.

Um, does anybody wish to come forward? If so, please state your name for the record. >> Good morning. My name is Shashana. a resident and brief intro. I advocate for the separation of church and state

and would request that you take religion off the agenda. But I also do a segment called follow the money for the sake of transparency. This is money that has been donated through campaign

contributions to council members uh pertaining to items on today's agenda. So agenda item 17 there was uh two payments $5,000 given to Councilwoman Diaz. Um, >> and that's in under our consent agenda

if I'm not mistaken. Go on. >> Okay. And then I'm going to come back to the money, but agenda item 24 I looked into um a fresh start sober living. Um, you're about to award $46,800 to that company. U,

according to the Secretary of State, their business license was revoked on May 31st of 2022. You may want to look into that. And apparently the person who owns that house at 5308 Alta Drive, if I'm

correct, you please confirm, died about uh 11 years ago. So I would be very cautious about giving money to that business because it's not licensed in the state of Nevada. Um back to the money factor.

morning. Morning, mayor, members of the council. Uh, speaking regarding, um, agenda item number 49, the East Side Education and Training Center. Um I had the privilege of um of writing that grant on

behalf of uh of CSN. Uh worked closely with Tammy Mau. That was a privilege and also a privilege to work with the with the best U city manager's office in in the nation, excuse me, in [clears throat]

the nation. Uh I urge your support for that. It's a um it's a great mission that's being accomp that will be accomplished by adding that center. We have a westside education and training center

currently successfully uh operating. Uh it was the largest grant that we've got from the EDA in the state's history. This one will be the second large or is the second largest grant we've gotten from

the EDA. Uh it has a one simple mission to bring education to areas of need. So I urge your support. Thank you so much. >> Thank you so much for coming down. >> Welcome. Please state your name for the

Oh, please state your name for the record. You have two minutes. >> Okay. Thank you. Good morning, esteemed leaders, mayor. Very good to see you all this morning as always. Eric King, longtime

resident. Um I wanted to speak to item number items, but one that touches me um is the Marble Manor uh green space um gracious uh uh funding of green space there. Uh very very inspiring to see that.

Uh again, as I've acknowledged many times, Las Vegas leads the way in building green spaces here, I believe, uh for the long run here, and I'm grateful for it. Um to to help add um hopefully touches

of whatever details I haven't seen yet for that project, but sounding like green space is going to go there because it's funded more. So, um I'd like to advocate for the consideration for whoever is

design uh planning that to um and approving it to consider uh some places where rainwater runoff known to be because of prior drainage studies um could be directed towards basins that [snorts] the

trees could be put into. Because if you are going to put variegated uh species in there, whatever they are, they probably are aren't going to be one species, say mosquetses, that would be the most

resilient for our desert getting hotter and hotter. So, please consider putting some say one to two foot deep basins around the trees that would at least a foot or so. um that could be done, you know,

in a in a a way where even there's mulch available for um the water to get in there and stay in there. So, there's ways to do that. It's called rain garden design work. And it would be honor to help

add value to that if anybody in planning wants to talk to me about where those funds could be directed to catch the most rainwater that's going to run off and erode the soil and sheet flow action

anyways and get it into those trees and all the nutrients with them. So, I don't know where my six seconds. I yield back the rest of the time. Thank you for hearing. >> Thank you so much. Please state

your name for the record. Welcome. You have two minutes. >> Thank you. And good morning. Clarissa Cota, vice president of external relations and campus operations for the College of Southern Nevada.

And I'm here to speak on behalf of item 49, the East Side Education Training Center. Uh on behalf of CSN, we are just so thankful to the partnership with the city, the city council support and your

vision to be supporting not only the westside education training center, but then this upcoming east side education training center and hopefully in the future in the near future a medical district

training center. I want to say also thank you to Mayor Prom Diaz for her ward three. We're looking forward to having a fantastic center there. I also want to give a lot of credit to your staff. Dr.

Tammy Malage has been amazing in her vision. You heard from Mr. Frank Woodbeck who was really part of the inception of this program and working with the EDA and really paying attention to working with

underserved communities, but your entire staff through the planning stages, all of the meetings, they're working so very hard. And for CSN, it is such a privilege and we are so honored to be

partnering with you. So, uh, thank you so much. Thank you so much. Is there anybody else wishing to speak under this portion of the agenda? And remember, it has to be uh in reference to a specific

item on the agenda. Welcome, and please state your name for the record. You have two minutes. >> Thank you, Madame Mayor, members of the council. My name is Richard Manhattan. I'm here today as power

of attorney on behalf of Miss Sher Murf, who resides at 4617 Lilyut Lane, 89102. I'm speaking on item number 28. Before entering into another interlocal agreement with the Las Vegas Valley Water

District, this body should be aware of a constituent matter in Ward 3, where the water district has caused serious damage to city property and to private property that to this day has not been fully

addressed. Sometime in the summer, Miss Murf's gardeners sought to charge her more because her lawn had grown more than normal. The lawn was not being watered more, but for some reason across the

front of the property and along the driveway, it had grown very tall over two cycles of gardener's visits. With prices going up everywhere, this caused Miss Murf some distress as she is a retired

public sector worker who uh is also a veteran living on a living on a fixed income. Miss Murf also uh later the same summer, the gardener opened the water utility box to discover that it was filled

with water. To be clear, the water was not overflowing, so it wasn't visible. Only after opening the utility box was a very serious water leak apparent. It became clear that the water from the utility

box was causing the grass closest to the sidewalk and the driveway to grow faster than the rest of the lawn. I'm going to move ahead because uh in the interest of time, but uh never. So, she

discovered a very serious leak that was causing her water to grow quickly. Uh again, the utility box was filled to the brim with water. Within two weeks of contacting the util the water district, they

came out and contained the leak, drilling a hole in the street in front of her home and also uh uh digging up the sidewalk. Unfortunately, they have not been back since. And we all know the way water

works. It quickly inend inundates [clears throat] land following the path of least resistance and can shift everything underneath it. Today, the sidewalk in front of Miss Murf's house is in disarray.

It's a tripping hazard. Um, and her driveway and sidewalks are also has al have also shifted and need to be repaired. Um, >> thank you so much. >> If I may have just uh one additional minute. >> No,

you may not. Everybody gets two minutes equally. >> Can I just close then? >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. Um, if the water district can be so careless with damage to city and private property, then our

taxpayer dollars may be better spent with responsible contractors who are not careless or negligent with city and private property. >> And may we uh recommend that you speak with the water authority

directly. This is in their jurisdiction, but we thank you for coming. >> Thank you. >> Is there anybody else wishing to address the city council under this agenda item? >> Good morning, mighty city

council. How y'all doing this morning? >> Um, you have two minutes to speak. Please state your name for the record. >> My name is Eric Melzdc, Christ Nimrod. The um Ethiopian king Nimrod. You can find

in Genesis the 10th chapter. There's a fad going around called the Ethiopian Bible. I would [clears throat] >> be careful. >> Is this Be careful what you read. Is this in conjunction with an agenda

item? >> Yes, it is. >> All right. Please state the agenda item that you're speaking on. >> Okay. Be very careful that Ethiopian Bible. Be very careful. >> Is the Ethiopian Bible on our agenda? >> I'm

recommendations for the Las Vegas Peace Officers Association collective bargaining agreement for fiscal year 2026. This impacts all wards. Mr. Jansen. >> Good morning, Mayor Berkeley, members of city

council. Mike Jansen, city manager. Uh, let me have my colleagues to my right introduce themselves. >> Good morning, your honor. Morgan Davis, senior assistant city attorney. >> Good morning, Sue

Brown, Department of Human Resources. >> Mayor and Council, uh, just want to take a moment. Uh, these two items, uh, there's some, uh, items 32 and 30 uh, 33 and the next one coming up, 34. There's in

relation to them. Um, there's some official language I need to get on the record related to NRS, but I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the employees that are recognized through this uh labor

agreement, and that's our corrections officers. Our corrections officers, as you know, are part of our Department of Public Safety and as part of our overall public safety program for the city. They

they they they pay they play a really important role. Um, and it's a very tough job with what they do. Um, so I just want to take a moment to recognize them and also uh throughout the course of any

negotiation and any uh labor contract uh we work closely with the union leadership and want to take a moment to recognize the past LVPOA president Ryan Elasen and the current uh president is Todd

Chaffy and uh what I would say is both the city team and the LVPOA team, we respect the process and what we're here today on item 33 is to present to you part part of that process which is

specifically what a factfinder uh recommendations are. So uh with that mayor and council I just want to read into the record the following and then I'll turn over the presentation to Sue Brown.

Pursuant to NRS 288200 subsection 9 as city manager I am reporting that the estimated fiscal impact of the factfinders recommendation is 2,416,345. Uh, and so I will go ahead and turn it over to Sue

and Morgan to go over the issues that were submitted and the factfinders report and recommendations. >> Thank you, Mike. As Mike indicated, Nevada Revised Statutes require that once we get a

factfinder recommendation, we report them out to council, uh, including the fiscal impact that he did. So, this is the report on factfinders recommendations. By way of background, um, this factf

finding recommendation dealt with contract for the contract year 2025 through 2026. We he held the hearings in that matter on January 20th, January 21st and February 18th. Uh, after the hearings, uh,

we got transcripts, did substantial briefing and the factfinder recommendation was received by the parties on September 28th, 2026. Uh the issues that were submitted uh involved seven articles of the

collect bargaining agreement, article 9, compensation, article 10, clothing and equipment allowance, article 11 hours of work and overtime, article 12, holidays, article 13, annual leave, article 14,

sick leave, and article 16 medical benefits. The factfinder's recommendations to each of the issues under each of those articles is as follows. dealing with compensation. Uh the city had proposed a

base wage increase of 4.2% for this bargaining unit which was 2.6 CPI or inflationary and a 1.6% market adjustment. They had al the city also proposed an adjustment to the top step for those people

that are topped out uh $1,500 cash to each of them. The union had proposed a 7.1% increase to base wage which included likewise a 2.6 inflationary item and an additional 4.5%. Uh in addition to that

they had recommended another 1% base pay increase for topped out employees. Factfinder's recommendation was 2.6 inflation and an additional 4% for all members of the bargaining unit. He declined to

recommend additional increase for anyone on the top step. Uh the union had also proposed a number of other changes including a 4% increase at the 10% or at the 10-year service level. Commonly we refer

to that as either longevity or retention. Union was asking for that. The city uh proposal did not include that and they proposed status quo. Backfinder recommended status quo. No change. Union also

had a proposal requesting an increase of acting pay from 5% to 10%. City proposal was no change. Factfinders recommendation on that item was also no change. Status quo. And lastly, as to the article 9

compensation items, the union had proposed increasing field training officer pay from 8% to 10%. city again was status quo no change and the factfinder's recommendation to that was no change status

quo. Article 10 was also an issue and that was the amount of clothing and uniform allowance. Uh the current contractual amount was $425 per member per month quarter I'm sorry quarter the city had

proposed an increase uh to $450. The union had proposed an increase from 425 to 500 per quarter. Uh factfinder's recommendation was to go with the city's proposal. The union had also requested or

proposed a additional new $500 pay for members of the CERT team for additional uniforms. City's proposal was no change. Status quo recommendation of the factfinder was status quo no change. Article 11

which deals with hours of work and overtime. The union had proposed an additional 30 minute break time for employees when they're on mandatory or hold or freeze over. City proposed no change.

Factfinder's recommendation was no change. The union had also requested in in this item an increase uh in the overtime rate to two times for people that were held over. The city's proposal was no

change status quo. Factfinder recommendation was no change status quo. Article 12 dealing with holidays. Uh the union had proposed an update to language relative to making clear that uh when there's a

negotiated holiday pay for that day is compensible for PERS. City proposed no change. Factfinder recommended the union's proposal. Article 13 deals with annual leave. The union had proposed an

increase in the annual leave acral rate for officers hired after July 1, 2013 to increase their caps from 250 hours to 400 hours. City proposal was no increase to remain the status quo. Factfinder's

recommendation was no increase status quo. Article 14 which deals with sick leave. The city had made a proposal that for employees who are taking time off for medical appointments be required to bring

in some kind of documentation indicating the appointment start and end time. Uh the union uh opposed that and proposed status quo. Factfinder's recommendation was the city's proposal article 16 which

deals with medical benefits and life insurance. Uh the union had impro uh proposed increasing the city's contribution to their health program from $1,090 per month per employee to $1,250 per month per

employee. The city's proposal was status quo to to remain at the 1090. Factfinder's recommendation was city proposal status quo at 1090 a month. Uh HR as Mr. Jans has indicated the the estimated

fiscal impact HR has calculated that with finances help the recommendation of the 2.6 cola is $944,54. The estimated cost of the factfinder recommendation of an additional 4% salary adjustment was 1

million452,391. And the proposed increase to uniform allowance is an estimated cost for this contract year of $19,900 which comes up with the figure Mr. Jansen reported out on the total estimated

fiscal impact for this one-year recommendation was $2,416,345. There's no questions to that. Are there any questions or comments from members of the city council? It's my understanding that this is

information only. No vote is required. >> That's correct, mayor. This is just a report only. Uh it will be the next item that'll have a vote. >> Thank you so much. Agenda item 34. report by Mike

Jansen, city manager, and discussion for possible action to approve a one-year collective bargaining agreement between the city of Las Vegas and Las Vegas Peace Officers Association. 2,416,345 from

the general fund. This impacts all awards. Mr. Jansen, >> again, good morning, Mayor Berkeley, members of city council. Mike Jansen, city manager. uh and uh in uh consideration of the NRS requirements

for this item, I will read that into the record, but I will also just add uh it's important to note, I think for the public, for mayor and council to know how well the city attorney's office, the city

manager's office, our HR department, um our DPS department in this case for this contract works extremely well together and uh we try our best uh with all the unions to bring before you a fair and

reasonable contract. And I think in this particular case, uh, that's a exactly what we did. And I just want to thank all the members. If I if I mention one person, I'll leave someone out. So again, I

just want you all to know just how well we work together, particularly these two folks on my right. But, uh, it's a team effort, and again, I want to acknowledge that. So, going back to the official

language, pursuant to NRS 288153, as city manager, I'm reporting on a new one-year collective bargaining agreement with the LVPOA. The estimated fiscal impact of the agreement is $2,416,345. >> Thank

you so much. Are there any questions or comments from members of the council? Seeing none, is there a motion? Oh, yes. >> I just have a >> I just need to put it on record a few slides. Um it's a

little bit a little bit repetitive, but it's um the same items that Morgan just went over. Um, by way of background, this is for the LVPOA bargaining unit that covers approximately 193 employees and

corrections. We did start negotiations in March of 2025. Um, in pass was declared in July of 2025 after seven meetings. Uh, we went through factf finding proceedings in January and February of 2026.

Um, we received the recommendations in September and this is a one-year agreement retroactive back to July 1 of 2025 through June 30th of 2026. Um, the two items that were recommended by the factf

finder was for wages and for uniform allowance as you can see on the slide and non-compensible changes that the factfinder recommended is related to the language in the holidays article as well as the

language in the sick leaf article. And once again, the estimated fiscal impact is 2,4416,345. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Is there a motion? May approv this time. Uh we're ready. So, thank you so

much, Miss Brown. With that, I move to approve. >> Please vote. Post. Motion carries. Thank you so much for your work. >> Agenda. Agenda item 35. Uh time certain. Um in 30 seconds we will begin this

agenda item because we have a time certain of 10:00 a.m. Agenda item number 35, hearing and discussion for possible action regarding a complaint for disciplin disciplinary action against Nakita Floral

Design Inc. doing business is Cork and Thornne and Randy Garrett owner whose place of business is located at 70 West Imperial Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89102 as holders of general entertainment

establishment license number G71-0000647 tobacco establishment license number P72-000064 food service or cafe license number G67 7-09 uh 05944 tobacco dealer license number G68-06 066 and full alcohol

on premise license number L68-000052 for violations of the Las Vegas Municipal Code Award 3. Miss Das, good morning. And would you identify yourself for the record? Deputy City Attorney Tim Guestwine,

>> Darcy Eelard, business licensing manager. >> Okay. Would you care to um pres present to us? >> Yes, madam mayor, members of council. This agenda item is to discuss business license discipline for

respondents and the business they operate in the arts district near Main Street in Imperial known as the Cork and Thorn. At the October 21, 2026 city council meeting, respondents voluntarily imposed

conditions on their business licenses and the council voted to have a hearing regarding a complaint regarding the business licenses. Today, the council is considering the complaint based on municipal

code chapter 6.88. Under section 6.88.060, 060. The license holder is required to appear and show cause why the license shall not be suspended or revoked or other disciplinary action taken. Business

licensing manager Darcy Otto Bay Herd will provide an overview of the complaint and Metro officers will offer their insights. This the respondents will have an opportunity to respond. >> Thank you so

much. >> Okay. Uh good morning mayor and council. Um I do have a power. Could you state your name for the record? >> Darcy Edel by herd uh business licensing manager for the record. Um I do have a

PowerPoint presentation and following my presentation um LBMPD Lieutenant Burns is also here. He has a presentation as well. Okay. So see this works. All right. Um so today we're here regarding the

disciplinary hearing for Corkinthornne located at 70 West Imperial Avenue. Um, Cork and Thorne operates under Nik Nikiti Floral Design Inc. with Randy Garrett as the owner. Since March of this year,

there have been three significant incidents associated with the establishment that have resulted in the intervention by both business licensing and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. I'd like

to briefly walk through those incidents and the actions taken by business licensing. Following my presentation, Metro will provide um additional details regarding the investigations and the findings.

Okay. So, Cork and Thornne has held business licenses with the city since August of 2019. Initially, alcohol, floral instruction, food, and entertainment. An additional license for cigar sales was

issued um September 2020, followed by the general entertainment establishment license in May of 2023. Today's disciplinary hearing concerns the five business licenses identified in the complaint. Uh

this is an aerial photo that shows the location of Cork and Thornne and the adjacent parking lot. Um I just wanted you to see the context. It's Main Street. Um I don't know if this thing highlights

here, but um Main Street and Imperial and then the red uh box is Cork and Thornne. The door opens out into the alleyway right there and the parking lot is adjacent right there. So you can see the

proximity. Okay. So the first incident occurred on March 14th of 2026. Business licensing was notified, excuse me, of an altercation that according to um LBMPD began inside the establishment and

continued into the adjacent parking lot where an individual was stabbed. Metro also reported concerns regarding the response of security personnel. On March 18th, business licensing issued a

correction notice and spoke with the owner regarding her responsibilities as a lency, including the conduct of employees and the contracted security personnel. Follow-up compliance inspections was

conducted on April 3rd and the establishment was found to be in compliance. Um, this is a still from the March 14th incident. This is uh right out right outside Cork and Thornne. You can see the the

greenery is the patio, the alleyway, and then the parking lot. This one is at 219 um in the morning. Um okay, that was this one. Okay, so on May 9th, May 9th, Business Licensing was notified of a

shooting in the adjacent parking lot following another altercation that reportedly began inside the establishment. According to LBMPD, contracted security personnel were involved in the exchange of

gunfire. Metro issued an emergency closure. On May 11th, business licensing met with the business owner and issued another correct notice. Before reopening, the business was required to revise its

alcohol control um plan and provide a contract for a third party security um service. The revised alcohol control plan was approved and the closure was subsequently lifted. Follow-up inspections were

conducted in June and July, and they found the establishment in compliance. This is a still from the um the May 9th incident. Uh this is right before the altercation starts inside Cork and Thornne. Um

Metro will be showing the video on this. Oh, so apparently so was I. Um and then um this is the still from outside where security personnel engaged in actually shooting into the parking lot. Metro

will be showing that as well. Um, all right. And the next one is September 26. So on September 26, LVMPD responded to another stabbing in the adjacent parking lot. Tragically, the victim later died

from his injuries. Metro reported that a verbal altercation had occurred inside the establishment prior to the stabbing and raised concerns regarding the security response. The business has dis um

disputed portions of Metro's account, including whether the altercation occurred inside and what security personnel knew. Metro address will address its findings in greater detail during their

presentation. Um these surveillance images identified by Metro as a suspect and the victim. According to Metro's review of the footage, the two interacted inside the establishment between 218 and 219

before the suspect left. Metro will provide additional information regarding the sequence of events. I wanted to help you identify the se the subject suspect and the victim um by their clothing. So

following the September incident, business licensing met with the owner's representatives and received a written response from their legal counsel disputing certain findings. On October 7th, um the

executive director of community development, Seth Floyd, issued a emergency suspension and of the business licenses under 6.02. 02363 based on the continuing public safety concerns. On October 20th,

we met again with the owner and legal council to discuss additional security protocols. On the October 21st, city council approved issuance of the disciplinary complaint and scheduled today's hearing.

The following day, October 22nd, the business submitted an updated security plan. And following the approval of the plan, the suspension was lifted and a conditional alcohol license was issued and the

remaining licenses were reinstated. As part of the conditional reopening, business licensing imposed additional requirements intended to address the safety concerns associated with the establishment.

The business is currently limited to operating between 8 a.m. and 2 a.m. It must maintain and follow an approved SE security plan and floor plan. A suitability approved key employee or principal must

be present during operations to oversee compliance. Weapons are also prohibited with exceptions for authorized law law enforcement and security personnel. The establishment is required to use a city

and state licensed security company whenever it's opened. A minimum of four security personnel are required Friday through Sunday and two Monday through Thursday. Security coverage must include the

interior, the exterior, the patio, and the adjacent parking lot. and the occupancy is limited to 83 persons, including employees, unless a higher occupancy is approved through the fire department

special event process. Approved events exceeding that limit require at least four security personnel. The approved security plan also addresses how the establishment must reopen to must reopen to

altercations. The business must take reasonable measures to prevent further confrontations, including whe when the individuals are being removed from the premises. Incidents must be documented and

logs and related surveillance footage must be provided to the city and metro upon request. The security plan also includes entry screening, parking lot moni monitoring, incident responses, um response

procedures, and staggering uh departures. Any changes to the approved plan must require prior approval. So before you today, business licensing has taken a number of steps over the past several months

to address the concerns associated with the establishment, including correction notices, meetings with ownership, revisions to security procedures, emergency suspensions, and follow-up inspections.

Despite those efforts, additional serious incidents occurred. At this time, business licensing is deferring to city council regarding the appropriate disciplinary action. We're not making

recommendation as to whether the business license should be revoked or whether business should be permitted to continue operating. However, should council determine that continued operations is

appropriate, business licensing would recommend that at a minimum all the license conditions imposed as part of the October 22nd um conditional reopening remain in place. I have a prepared uh consolid

consolidated list of those existing conditions that can be read into the record um if requested um and incorporated into council's action if necessary. Um, if you want me to read those into the

record, I can or we can do it at the end. >> We'll wait till later in the hearing. Thank you, Miss >> All right. So then, at this time, I'm going to turn it over to Lieutenant uh Burns from uh Las

Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. >> Thank you for joining us. Would you state your name for the record? >> Good morning. Thank you for having me. Uh, Zachary Burns, Lieutenant Special

Investigation Section, Las Vegas Metro Police. Uh, I have a PowerPoint, please. [clears throat] And, uh, I ask for your patience as I try to use this remote. So, one of the things that, uh, if you

could Oh, maybe I can do it. >> Hit the middle button. >> All right, we're on our way. Uh, thank you so much for allowing us uh, to come and and and spend some time just to make explanations. the the

main purpose of my being here, as you guys I'm sure have seen the the requests for actions or the show cause reports that have come out of my office from my detectives. Uh but um what I wanted to do

is provide you with the opportunity. I know the argument from Cork and Thorne is that while these incidents occurred in the parking lot that nothing happened inside the business and and my job today

is just to show you the facts and circumstances. Some of the information that I'm going to present is limited. I'm sorry. I wish I could play one for time. you. Obviously, I've got probably about 20

minutes of rambling. Uh, but a lot [clears throat] of the videos are cut very short. Uh, some of them have been edited simply because these are felony crimes that are open in court. And so, uh, we

kind of had to negotiate with the district attorney's office as well as the case agents from the various investigative units to make sure that we're not messing up their criminal investigation. So, I

appreciate your patience. One of the things too I wanted to explain and while you guys know what Special Investigations does, probably the majority of the audience and the public doesn't. We're a very

small unit within the Metro Police and our mission is to prevent violent crime, investigate criminal activity, address quality of life issues that occur at regulated and privileged businesses or are

caused by inappropriate conduct of owners and operators of those businesses. When we get called out to a regulated privileged business where there's a violent crime, usually a felony, we send

detectives and a supervisor that night, there's a separate unit that conducts the criminal investigation. We want to see what's going on with the business as they hold a license that requires

additional oversight. And we want to make sure that the business is taking every possible step to be cooperative, but also to take action to prevent crime from happening in our community. One of the

things besides all the laws and constitution and ordinances that we follow as an agency, one of our directions every year by the sheriff and as stated in the state of the department address is the

sheriff's priorities. And as you can see, these are the priorities for this year. They're usually about the same almost every year. But oops, my bad. Uh, one of the things is four of those priorities

that uh affect this particular investigation. Uh our goal in this isn't to go after Cork and Thornne. Our goal is to decrease homicides, to decrease violent crimes. Uh to uh you know, when we when we

look at officer wellness, and to uh ultimately try to decrease the amount of violence that occurs within the valley and that our people are exposed to. So our simple goal is to save lives. Uh and it's

the lives that we're saving are her clients. And then also under this uh ordinance which you guys are clearly aware of. This is kind of the main ordinance that we most of our when when you'll see

later in the presentation we talk about non-compliance warnings. It's almost like a citation without any fine. It's just a written warning. We counsel whether it's the the manager on duty or it's the

owner when there's a critical incident. But a lot of times we go under this ordinance where it just explains to them that they have some culpability of what happens at their business at the beginning

and then after as things spill out into the parking lot. A quick brief uh obviously uh Darcy had discussed it. We had the four the three incidents, excuse me. March 14th started out, it was reported

as a shooting. Uh what had happened is uh there was an incident inside. Somebody brandished a gun in the parking lot. The gentleman was actually stabbed. uh he had seen the gun so he thought he was

shot. Uh we had the and then because that was the first incident we we go out and uh just kind of issue some warnings. We get the city involved to try to educate our business owner to try to make

preventions for this happening in the future. May 9th um it was a gunfight an allout gunfight in the parking lot after a knockdown dragout fight inside the business. I'll show you a video. We did an

emergency closure because we couldn't guarantee the safety of the community after that. And then uh several months later uh we had uh the homicide that happened in the parking lot. We also did an

emergency closure on that as well. Uh so March 14th 2:40 or 2:24 in the morning. All of these occur about the same time between like 2 and 3:00 a.m. uh roughly their closing time. Um there was an

argument inside the business what uh the security statement and and I've pulled information from both arrest reports from audio recordings uh with detectives and in this case it is the crime report

written by the patrol officer who spoke to a witness which was one of the security officers and so when we talk about did the business know now while the owner may not have been aware one of the

people who works for her was aware and if that messaging didn't get pushed forward I certainly have uh uh no say in that. But the somebody within the business was aware that a disturbance occurred

within the business. In this case, a young lady had walked past somebody too close, bumped the table, a verbal argument ensued. The uh argument then uh was loud enough that it drew the attention of a

security officer uh who forced them to leave. The still photo that you had seen, which I'll bring up here in a second, um was security appropriately pushing people into the parking lot. they remained

on either side of them trying to deescalate it. We appreciate that. We're going to respond whether the business acted perfectly or not because we want to take a look and we want to try to offer uh

steps to try to improve their business plan. Um in that case, uh what had happened is uh the male suspect who brandished the firearm had a gun in his car. He goes and gets his gun. When the argument

looks like it's going to get physical, he brandishes the firearm at our victim. At the exact same time, his girlfriend stabs uh our victim in the shoulder with what we believe to be a box cutter. Um

that's why it came in as a shooting. He sees a gun. He's suddenly bleeding. He has pain in his arm. Everybody scatters. Um and then it wasn't until he got to the hospital that they determined that the

injury uh was actually uh a stab wound. And it's difficult to see. I know I don't know if you guys have it directly in front of you. Um you can see there's a security guard on either side. They're

actually in the parking lot. Um the gentleman with the red shirt who's back to us is the suspect with the gun. The woman in the miniskirt is the stabbing suspect and then our victim is across the way.

One of the issues that we had found that we addressed with the business also is after you know upon our arrival we're talking two hours into the incident. The parking lot's empty. Numerous alcohol and

beer cans in the parking lot. Now, I can't prove where they came from, but working with hookah lounges throughout the valley, we see that often. We call it pregaming. It's really expensive to drink

inside a club. So, they bring alcohol with them and they start drinking in the parking lot or maybe they're permitted to take drinks from the club. We don't know because we don't pull that video. But

it's an issue that the businesses have to address in the fact that there's people gathering, they're intoxicated, that's a long night out, and all of a sudden you've got people getting into fights,

they're all uh uh somewhat uh increased level of blood alcohol, and it creates problems for us in the community. Excuse me. So, [snorts] we had responded that night uh back in March. We had issued uh

warnings, got the city involved, the city issues warnings as an educational component. That's our goal. We want businesses to be successful. Everybody wins that when it's successful. However, we don't

want to have them be successful at the cost of public safety. March uh May 9th, excuse me, 3 in the morning. I'll show you a video. Uh there was a knockdown dragout fight. We only play you about 20

seconds of the video. The last fight lasted a couple uh minutes. Occurs in the hallway. Two women get into a fight. security gets involved, which there's the component that shows that the business was

aware that their security officers actually had to get them out of the business. The they come back in, which we don't show you um because some clothes were ripped off, and then they finally get them

pushed out into the parking lot. Uh within a minute or so of them being in the parking lot, the two parties retrieving again firearms from their vehicles because Cork and Thorne does pat down and wand

everybody that comes into the business. Um they don't want weapons inside the business. Our problem also is there's weapons in their cars and they're going to their cars. The two uh suspects from the

shooting get into a shootout back and forth in the far end of the parking lot. And then along comes security, unarmed security, which I'll show you that video as well. He takes the gun from one of the

armed security guards and shoots across the parking lot. It's hard to see because it's dark, but there are people who have nothing to do with this that are ducking down in the parking lot um trying to

hide from from the barrage of gunfire. Uh our victim who was one of the suspects in the shooting was hit in the leg. He ultimately had his leg amputated because of the damage. And then what's really

egregious is after the fact, and I don't include video on it because it's part of the criminal case, a Cork and Thorn employee, the two security guards start using flashlights to light up the parking

lot, and they start picking up the shell casings to destroy the evidence that proves that they were involved in the gunfire. And then those two security guards get into a car and leave before the

police arrive. Our first patrol officer gets on the scene, which is only maybe within 5 to 8 minutes of the the first call, and he says that the manager is locking up the business in an attempt to

leave as well as the business was closing. That's concerning to us as well. And the fact that there was an active gunfight in their parking lot, you would think that they would want to make sure

everybody stays to cooperate and work with the police. I don't know what their intention was. Maybe it was totally accidental. That's not for me to say. It's just the facts that were presented to us

uh by our patrol officers. Once again, the investigative units go out, we go out also and we provide uh an emergency closure because of the egregious nature of the fact that not only is there a active

gunfight in the parking lot, but their employees are firing rounds into the crowd. Just terribly scary considering there could have been anybody on any of those streets. Every one of those rounds that

he fires, which I believe was five to eight, had to land somewhere. [snorts] All right, I'm going to try to play this. It's about 20 seconds and ultimately it just shows the fight. Um, but just so

you're aware, you can see from the door, which is I think the kitchen, maybe you'll see two security guards coming out with black t-shirts, which is their the proof that their business was aware that

there was an incident. Here's the video of the uh it it looks like he's wearing gray. It's actually black. Uh the infrared camera will it it'll flip when the light comes on and it changes the color of

his clothing. But this is a security officer. There is video footage of him looking at purses and checking people and wanding people as they come in earlier. I'm not showing that. It just shows him in

the parking lot facing the intersection of uh uh facing Imperial and firing rounds. and then they run back into the business. He gives the gun back to the security guard who's legally allowed to to

own it. Um, and then ultimately they uh end up getting into a vehicle and leaving before police arrive. >> [clears throat] >> So, uh, to to take a step back, you know, like we said, we had done the

emergency closure. We again, uh, talked to, um, the owner had come out that night and, um, worked with her to try to provide her with much information as we could possibly do. And then we conducted

the show cause write up, which has a bunch of pictures and explanations. It shows all of the calls for uh, service history at the business. Trying to give everybody a really clear picture of what

we're dealing with. Fast forward to oh and and in that they had agreed to uh some conditions on their license. One of the conditions uh they had exchanged because that was a contract security company.

They got rid of that security company had gotten another security company. One of the things we had asked for was them to have a security log. Anytime that there was an incident, put it in the log. We

move forward to September 26th. When we go to do that investigation after the homicide, we look at the security log. not a thing on it. I ran a one year's worth of call for history uh since November

of last year till now and there were probably 27 events that were related to to Cork and Thornne. Not all issuing or from Cork and Thornne. There's you know obviously some crimes but a lot of them

more than half were involved with with batteries or fights. So they're averaging two a month potentially. nothing in the last what four months, five months uh in the incident log. I find that hard to

believe, but again, we're not there all the time. Even when we go out and we do our site checks or we do our compliance checks, we walk in with business licensing agents and and or or my detectives,

everything from what we can look at at that tiny little snapshot looks good. So when we say that we've got, you know, they're in compliance, it's based on business licensing on the wall. You know, do

they have the right employees? Do all the employees have their alcohol awareness cards and their work cards. So it's not necessarily a complete perfect snapshot of what's actually going on in the

business, which is why we respond out when the next critical incident happens, which in this case, September 26th, again, close to closing time, almost 3:00 in the morning. Uh there's a verbal

altercation. I'll show you the video. It's not really exciting. It shows the suspect and it shows the victim and it's crowded and it's a lot of music and it's dark and but you see them having an

exchange of words. One of his friends gets up and kind of gets involved. The suspect you'll see ends up pointing to the door and uh this the suspect ends up leaving the view. What's interesting is

you'll see a gentleman come kind of standing on the stage. He's got a white towel hanging off of his uh belt. He's one of the busers in his and I'll play some audio clips from the interviews with

detectives and our witnesses. And what's interesting is that when the buser talks, he says in his the entirety of his interview, not this necessarily the small clip that I've included, but he talks

about seeing something happening. He wants to um he described it as an intoxicated male standing by himself talking to himself. So, he went and got security. But what the video shows is it looks like

he takes note of two people in an argument. One points to the door and heads to the door and he follows that person to to the door. Security then you'll hear talks about how the suspect was uh

escorted out. He was evicted by one of the employees while he was in the parking lot. He talked to security for over a half an hour about how he was disrespected and he wants to beat the suspect or

the victim. So, this wasn't a a two guys exchanging words and going out. Now, you have employees of the business aware that there's a subject in the parking lot that wants to commit a crime against

one of the victims, we would expect more action to be taken. And even if it's just calling the police so we can start getting a patrol unit uh in route to assist, but that doesn't happen. Again, we do

the emergency closure. Um they're talking about additional um uh changes to security. And here's my biggest concern. [clears throat] Every one of these incidents is escalating. We start with a

stabbing and then we go to a shooting with amputation and then we go to a homicide. So if we maintain this pattern, is the next person going to potentially be somebody innocent walking down the

sidewalk? Or are we going to be looking at like we had on First Friday where there's a shooting into a crowd and three or four people get injured? And our goal, like I said, is to try to save lives.

I'm going to attempt to play these one at a time. The first one is going to be uh an employee at the uh the waitress. Excuse me. She didn't see the altercation. She is an acquaintance of the suspect.

Somewhere in her interview, which was about 30 minutes. I'm playing you 20 seconds. She talks about the business is kind of uh under the gun right now because of past incidents. So, um she was aware

that she want she was trying to tell this suspect, "Go home. go home and he was refusing. But again, an employee who was aware of a potential issue. Fingers crossed. >> When I looked up, I'm like,

"What the heck is going on?" And he's like, "Man, he said something to me. He said something to me." And I'm like, "Okay, well go home." >> He was coming out the door. >> So again, she was outside.

She knows him. and then she was trying to do the right thing in getting him to leave. But again, an employee who was aware. The next one is going to be the buser. You'll hear two voices. It's hard for

me to explain which one's the detective. I think probably you'll be able to tell. Um but the buser was uh aware that there was an incident as well. >> That's why I walked out to go get security. He's

like kind of like behind me and I just told security not to get down here. >> Oh, so you went outside and told security not? Yes. >> Okay. And is that because you didn't want things to escalate? >>

Yes, I didn't escalate. >> Okay. >> Um, did you witness? >> And then I'm going to play three clips from uh the the one of the security guards and I'll play two clips from the other. Um, and this just

goes to show that he was es there. They acknowledge he was escorted out by by staff and that um he was making comments uh about wanting to um commit harm to the victim. >> So, you're saying the uh the

guy in the striped shirt was talking to your partner. What was he specifically saying? >> He was trying to talk to both of us, but um he was just saying that he upset that some guy inside disrespect

him and something like that. And we pretty much tell him it's not worth it, you know, just go home. We pretty much will not let him in. We try to get in, but the staff uh don't want him to be in there

cuz they don't want anyone. So, uh, we talked again, we kind of not worth it, go home. He would just hang out on the park. >> All right. One second. Write this down. What does he say? >> Next one. >>

Get kicked out of there tonight? >> Yeah. >> Oh, he did get kicked out. >> Okay. Why did he get kicked out? >> Um, I think they were start to involve them. uh start to uh get into the arguments. >>

And who's who's the guy that he got in the argument with it? >> Uh the guy with the victim. >> The victim? >> Yeah. >> What was he where? >> He was wearing all >> and then finally with our first

security officer kicked >> him out of the bar. >> Um I don't know, dude. One of his staff inside. >> Staff kicked him out. >> Yeah. >> Do you guys do anything? >> The second security guard apparently

had a conversation. both our uh homicide suspect and that security guard are from the same part of California and so he refers to him by the town that he's from Fontana. They don't know each other

just he had learned. So when you hear Fontana it's not the name of anybody other than he's referring to a city but he is talking about the suspect what told me was like getting him out of here and

pointing up on him. So, you know, >> uh the employee at Corpinthor, they actually had kicked him out or told him to leave. >> Do you know? >> Uh the the the employee that is saying get him out of

here. I believe his name is Rod D. >> So, that's just the security officer giving the name of the the the person the employee who' released [clears throat] him. I don't know if the video's next,

maybe. Okay. So, I'll play this video. Um, the red hat is our homicide victim. Uh, the suspect is wearing the black and white striped shirt. He's to the left of the other red t-shirt. And it just

shows the two of them very close to each other talking. You can't really see facial expressions. Um, you'll see the gentleman in the white t-shirt kind of get up and get involved. And then as they

leave the screen, you'll see a gentleman come off from the stage, which is that lit up area at the top of the screen. That was the buser that had reported to security that there was a potential issue.

Come on. Sorry, it's almost over. You see people kind of stepping in between them. And there's the buster that's following him out to report to security. And then I don't know what this one is, so I'm

not going to play it. >> That's just >> I'm leaving. >> Oh, okay. >> Uh and then finally on the outside. Now, [clears throat] there was about a 30 minute once the suspect is pushed out into the

parking lot. Like I said, he had about a 30 minutes, 40 minutes in which he was talking to security and they were still trying to encourage him to leave. Um, when the victim finally comes out, you'll

see that they gather together. We stop it before any act of violence occurs, but it shows that from inside the business out into the parking lot, the issue continues and then a homicide occurs. That's

our victim in the red. And immediately he approaches it. Security is standing outside. >> People obviously know something's going to happen. They're trying to push them away and keep them separated.

So, the incident similarities, um, they all occur around closing time between, I think 2:24 was the earliest to like a couple minutes after 3. Um, it all begins inside the business and then eventually

works its way out into the parking lot. Unfortunately, that's where a lot of people who uh kept guns. We've had obviously of the three incidents, we've got two of them that had multiple guns in their

vehicles. Security was aware, participated in every single incident. They knew something was going on. They were made aware of something going on. Uh, and it appears that there's no managerial

oversight. As we continue, our goal is always to try to educate. We try to push the messaging. You need to be more active. You need to know what's going on. Even with the security log, I would think a

business owner would be like, "This is one of the things that was implemented as our new security plan. I'm going to make sure that this is being filled out and there isn't anything in the security

log." And then there's loitering and drinking in the parking lot. There's a business next door, Johnny Coco's. I ran their calls for service for the last year. Two incidents. One was a bullet from the

shooting that they called in to report and I can't remember the other one. It all is also related to to Cork and Thornne. So we just don't have while there is issues downtown of course right as any

inner city uh has increased crime issues we're not seeing in that necessarily within that block um especially Johnny Coco's which is another bar um the the number of issues that we're having uh from

Cork and Thornne and we've asked for cooperation. Now she certainly in order to get her business open is always willing to call us and talk. She's fantastic to talk to. I love the fact that she's got

a whole community here that's that's going to support her. Um I wish every business had that, but ultimately our goal is to save lives. And when we and that kind of concludes my uh my presentation,

again, my point was simply to show the business had an understanding of things happening inside before it pushed outside. Whether that raised to the level of management or not, that's beyond our

control. But we are aware that it isn't just random acts of violence occurring in this parking lot. And we certainly will support the the council's decision uh on whether or not um you uh push for

revocation or if you push for the business to remain open uh with conditions. We're here to support you. We're here to support them. Uh and uh we just want to try, like I said, to try to decrease the

amount of violence that's occurring in our valley. >> Thank you so much. opportunity to speak, >> Miss Garrett. >> Yes. >> Hello. >> Would you care to um uh say anything or would your attorney care

[laughter] to say anything? >> Mayor, mayor Potam, members of the council, we appreciate your time today. Brian Hardy with the law firm of Marquee Arbach on behalf of Cork and Thornne. I have with me

also the owner, Randy Garrett, as well as our general manager. Um obviously uh what we're here today um to talk about is helping to make sure that we can do better as a community to secure downtown.

And that's what we're here to do is to work as a community partner. Um one of the things um that you'll understand and I think you'll see is that this is not about a business that ignored u or failed

to do things. We've after each of those incidents, we sat down with business licensing, came up with new plans on how we could better do things and and now what we've been allowed to do under the most

recent conditions is be able to secure the parking lot. Um, as you're well aware and as the council's well aware, this is a city parking lot. um something that we've had uh some questions and a number

of issues um that have rolled out in the parking lot. And now one of the conditions and one of the things we've accepted and we've worked to coordinate with the city is to provide security in the city

parking lot um because we believe and as we've seen is that these incidents if they occur um are rolling out into the parking lot that we would like to be able to secure. And so we've been able to

work in this condition that we've recently been placed under to provide that security out there. and they've been able to patrol the parking lot in conjunction uh with with the mandates from the city.

A Cork and Thorn doesn't take it lightly um its obligations to secure um these things, nor does it take lightly what's occurred in the past. Um in fact, it's it has endeavored um to make sure uh to

undertake whatever it can in order to do that. Not only did it do underneath a number of these requirements, enhance security, terminate the security guards, and if we go through each of these

incidents, you'll see on the March 14th incident, we've provided um a response uh to the complaint. Um which I I don't feel like I want to read in today because it's substantial. U but the we provided

those responses that it contain affidavit and declarations of the victims, of the individuals that were there. um and that show exactly what occurs and what happens down in that area. We believe that

the March 14th incident, as we talked about before, um it undoubtedly happened in the city parking lot. Um but we've got the declaration from the victim who indicates that it started well before

anything ever happened at Cork and Thorne. It wasn't the result of Cork and Thornne. In fact, his exact statement is what happened to me did not in start inside Cork and Thorne in his own declaration.

And so there's incidents that happen around the community or anywhere else that may work their way around these businesses. And we're going to do the best we can underneath the conditions that have

been provided to enhance security now that we have the permission and the ability to go ahead and secure that parking lot to work directly on those issues. Uh the second incident we talked about was

the May 19 May 9th issue. As soon as we became aware of that issue and what had happened, uh because it was the security company, which was a third party company, um we worked directly with the city

to identify uh terminate that security company, work with them to identify an appropriate security company, um that would be able to handle that that was properly licensed and everything else that met

the requirements of the city. We worked with the city to make sure that that happened and got all those things together. We did so in such a way that nearly tripled the cost of security because now we

were going to be providing enhanced security at that location. Um and again we worked with the city to make sure to make it safer on the terms that we everybody thought would help. Um and now um on

the September 26 incident um we were operating um to make sure that we had the two security guards that had been required. And not only did we have the two security guards that were required, we were

we had brought in a third. Um unfortunately on the night of the incident and the reason we had three hired and coming every night was because as we all know sometimes employees end up as a no-show or

inability and fortunately with the third party company um that we had hired due to security and understanding that that night um their um employee had quit and so luckily we still met the minimum of

having two that particular evening um which was what was required um and then the one that didn't show up. So we were still meeting all of the requirements because we went above and beyond. One of the

things we also do, we make sure that we screen everybody coming in as was acknowledged by Metro to make sure that nothing comes in there. Another thing that we self-impose and that we we make sure

that we do as well is that we don't allow anyone to reenter. We think this is a particularly important condition that we impose ourselves. It's not been one that's been imposed by the council or

anywhere else. And we found it to be particularly helpful in deescalating issues is that once somebody leaves for the evening, they're gone. They don't get to come back into the facility. We do not

want people going out to parking lots that we have no control over and grabbing something that we don't know what they have and coming back. Once they're gone for the evening, they're gone. They're

not coming back in the facility. The other side of that is is that we have a very strict policy particularly um it's been a policy for a long time, but after the first incident where the metro was

concerned about the bottles that were around um on the ground, we made sure that they weren't going to be coming from our location. As he noted, there is a bar right next door that has serves alcohol.

But we make sure and have a policy that you are not allowed to leave with any bottle from the premises. That includes water. If you have a water bottle, you got to drink it or throw it away before you

leave the premises in order to help be a good steward of of the city and what goes on in that parking lot. And so we we make sure to do each of these things and and we make sure to take care of

everything that the city has asked of us. What you're seeing here is not a a business that doesn't want to or that blatantly ignores issues. This is a business that comes to the city wanting to help

with solutions. They want to be a good partner with the city and that's what they've done and they continue to do. Um we came before this body two about two weeks ago now. uh and uh and we talked

about the conditions that we had worked with staff diligently and worked with Metro diligently to identify that would be able to be helpful which included now affirming that we have the ability to

hire an armed security guard for the parking lot. Up to this point in time, the city parking lot has not had armed security. Um and so now we can do that and we'll be providing that service and have

provided that service in the city parking lot. a parking lot that is used by patrons not only to our business but to the cannabis businesses across the way to the other bars that are there um that we

will be able to provide that service um as a part of our conditions that we have. We've accepted those conditions and what we would propose is that those conditions be implemented on a permanent basis

as we proceed forward. We would ask um this council uh to find that the complaint the matters in the complaint apart from the fact that we don't believe um that they meet the the requirements of the

uh the code which is as set forth and we can go through the legal arguments but I don't think it's appropriate to do it here. We reserve those to the briefing but we don't know that these that the

that the standards underneath the code would apply in here. It talks about premises. It talks about deliberate ignorance. None of those things are are evident in this particular matter. And what we'd

like to do is to show you that we can make a difference here in this in this community. You'll find and I'm sure you're going to hear from a number of people and you heard from them last time. This

business is a part of the community and it wants to protect the community that it loves and that loves it. And that's what they're looking to do. They want to provide that for them and for themselves

because nobody wants to see violence down there. Unfortunately, violent acts have been thrust upon the city. We weren't even open on the on the incident that occurred unfortunately on on Friday on

that on the uh the first Friday event. We weren't even there. We weren't open. We were shut down. Um and the incidences still happen. So there are violent actions that happen even though there were

120 metro officers around. Things happen. Um but it's what we can do as a partnership to make sure that we limit or mitigate and stop all of that from occurring. We have a we have a we have a group of

individuals. We have a group of patrons. We have a group of employees and you have an owner that love this community, love this city, are invested in the arts district and want to see it succeed and

they want to see this business succeed as well. Um, a couple of the things that we we've talked about here with the conditions that were previously implemented. Um, we can agree with all of those

conditions, but we do have two requested modifications that we did talk about with business licensing. Um and and one of those is is that the first one is is on weekdays. There's never been an event

that's ever occurred on a weekday, by the way. Um we are going to have two guards, which was never a requirement. There had never been guards required during weekday events. Um but one of the

requirements that we inquired about in order to make this so that the business still has an opportunity to succeed was to require um armed security on weekdays, one hour before entertainment. And as

noted that bars are not required to have, you know, security guards or anything else like that. And from the time of inception till the time entertainment shows there, it's very limited patron and

those patrons that are there. It's simply a bar. There's never been an incident. There's never been any issue. It's the entertainment that comes in that makes this differently. Turns it into more of a

nightclub entertainment area. And so in our discussions with the city, we had talked about maybe a half hour. I think they recommended an hour um with city business licensing that the guards on the

weekdays um would be required to be in an hour before um any entertainment shows up on premises. And we would ask that that be included in the condition that it not be that we have to have security

guards from 8 to 2 um even when we're you know whether it's we're open or we've just serve simply serving as a bar but that it be an hour before entertainment shows up when they start activating or

utilizing that uh that license as a nightclub. And then the second one would be um on the closing time. The original closing time for this particular business um was 4:00. Um we voluntarily after the

first incident um reduce that to three after the second second incident. Um um reduced that down to 3:00 with a um with and with a last call at 2:30. And uh we would propose that and the reason we did

that was because um down in these areas um we didn't want to catch anybody that was coming out after somebody else closed. So if you're the first one to close um then everybody leaves and if they're

going to go somewhere they might go another location but we don't catch everybody else um coming back into the coming out to the next club. And so what we wanted to do is to close before everybody

else. Um, and we do that and what we would propose is that we go and now have it mandated that it not be the two o'clock as previously uh mandate as previously under the condition as it sits right

now. Um, but it be less than the previous 4:00 condition and that we modify that to a 3:00 condition with a 2:30 last serve. U with those conditions, we believe that this business can continue to

operate but continue to thrive and it can be a good business partner with the city and securing that parking lot and making sure that that area uh remains secure going forward. Thank you so much,

mayor. Council, we're happy to answer anything you have. >> Um, before we have questions and comments from the council members, I deferred public comment until the actual agenda item. So, if anybody

wishes to come up and speak, you please identify yourself and you have one minute to speak. Is there anybody that wishes to speak? Please come forward. on this matter. >> Okay. Well, I I hope it is.

Uh I hope it is. I'm just reading the language. Ma, mayor, and thank you, Eric King, longtime resident. Uh, I saw on here the food service or cafe license. So, I wanted to um at least speak to what I

think could be enhancements to people that want to do more food service here, which would be get some local food. >> We're talking about a business license possible closure. Does this have anything to

do with that? >> Item 35. You have to speak about this particular agenda item. >> I think it would be a value ad to add local food into the mix of how they can add value to the community. >> That is

not pertinent to what we're discussing right now. >> No, no disrespect. Thank you. I didn't know for sure. I saw the language. Thank you. >> Is there anybody that wishes to speak about this agenda

item? Please state your name. And you have one minute. >> I do. Uh my name is Daniel. Good morning, council. So, good [clears throat] morning and thank you for allowing me to speak. If it's okay, I'll

just read from here. Uh, my name is Daniel Mahabir. I'm a longtime Las Vegas resident, a local realtor, and a stand-up comedian. So, but I won't tell you jokes. Um, I want to start by acknowledging

the seriousness of what brings us here today, recognize the city's responsibility in taking public safety seriously. I'm not here to dismiss those concerns at all. I'm here to actually share what Cork

and Thorn means to me. Uh, as a person of color and a performer, finding spaces where you feel genuinely welcomed, represented, and connected to your audience isn't always easy. Cork and Thorn is has

been one [clears throat] of those places. They've given me opportunities to perform, grow as an entertainer, and to connect with a community that feels like home, and there aren't nearly enough places

in this city doing that. Uh, I not [clears throat] I noticed something interesting on the city's own messaging on the TV about downtown Las Vegas. It describes downtown as a place where unexpected

people, unscripted ideas, and unconventional places collide. And I think Cork and Thornne embodies that vision. It's more than a bar and entertainment venue with an overly buff DJ. Um, it's a place

that brings people, cultures, and creativity together. It's become part of the fabric of our city, and I hope we can find a solution where accountability and opportunity can coexist. >> Thank you so

much. >> Please come forward and state your name for the record. and you have a minute. >> Uh my name is uh 68. I'm a host and uh comedian down at the Cork and Thorn. We've been there for over a year

providing a service to the community in the arts district that that don't really offer uh performing arts in the arts district. So this is one of the few places that allows us to uh express ourselves,

express our our compassion, our passion for the for for for entertaining people and for um as a stress reliever. Like people come down there from a long week of work and come down there and want to

laugh and have a good time. And um it's one of the few places in the city that like my uh cohort was saying that allows people of color to express themselves. Um there's a lot of places in the city

that that they do have that allow others to express themselves, but we don't really have too many places that we can voice ourselves and feel free of pressure. So I'm definitely grateful for Cork and

Thornne for allowing us the opportunity. We've had some really great strong acts come from LA, from New York, from Texas, from Atlanta, all over just to come here to entertain our wonderful people

here of the city of Las Vegas. So I just want to uh say thank you for allowing us the opportunity to to be there. Thank you so much. Please come forward. Welcome. Uh state your name and you have a

minute. >> Uh good morning. My name is Kenetta Harris. I go by Kiki and I'm a combat veteran, a six-year regular at Cork and Thorn. Also the co-host of Live Karaoke. Um what I wanted to talk about was

I um watched the police pres presentation and they stated that the staff knew about the dispute but interviews that they played also showed that the staff and security asked the aggressor to leave the

premises. They can't control what happens in a city parking lot where people actually pay to park. But we just also had a 17-year-old killed at First Friday. Who is responsible for that? If violence

happens on Fremont, nearby casinos aren't shut down. Why is Cork and Thornne being held to a different standard? We also have Randy Garrett offering to pay out of pocket to secure the city parking

lot, which I don't think is fair. The city's timeline shows every incident was followed by approved security plans and the business is compliant. Cork and Thornne is a family and a small business and

they deserve the same chance to operate as the big bigger casinos because fair is fair. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Please state your name for the record and you have a minute. >> Chris Rogers,

um, drummer, entertainer in Las Vegas City. I've been working with Randy uh, Garrett for the past 12 years. Um, since our location was at Tovali Village. We've had numerous of nights. Um, Wednesday

night live band karaoke, Friday night spoken word. Um there's never been an act of violence on the parking lot and we do Saturdays um with Ali Star and the Alley Cats. Um just mentioning those names

in those days um because we have had great culture understanding and being adhering to the laws um the crowds going out into the parking lot. Nothing has happened in the past 12 years that I can

witness and I can contest for never happened. Um, and it's unfortunate that the people and staff are experiencing the closure. These are like myself, a single father with two daughters, bartenders,

um, staff, our family, um, members, cousins, sisters, daughters, and they have family to take care of. Please take that in consideration. >> Thank you so much. Hello. >> Good morning, mayor. >> Please

state your name for the record, and you have a minute. My name is uh Miguel Sanchez. I am a local entrepreneur. I live almost on Wagon Wheel in Henderson and I've been drawn all the way down to go to

Cork and Thorn myself. I'm a part-time developer. I'm actually working on a project in Councilman Diaz's district right now. $40 million project for affordable housing for the Arch District. We're

working on another project hopefully in Miss Summers Armstrong's district. Um I was there with you next to uh uh Ry's other business uh the wine garden when you opened up Tapan which I'm a member of

that too and I was there with you and Miss Diaz. She has a great business there that taught me how to pair wine and caviar. Uh she sells flowers out of there. She's a fantastic person. Every time that

I've that I've gone to Cork and Thorn, I've always felt safe and she's always there. She's not an absentee owner. She's always there. And you can see by the number of people that are in this audience

that support this business. So, if Courtland Thorne can can draw someone like me, I've owned a club myself and I understand that uh the things that she has to go through. >> Thank you so much. We

appreciate it. Does anybody else wish to come forward? Please state your name for the record and you have a minute. >> Elon Gilberg. Hello everyone. >> Um I'm here for a different matter, not for that

if it's not but after saying that I must say something. I just must must must say something. >> Um I don't I think that what happened it's not a business issue. It's a culture issue. It's a culture

issue when men cannot control themselves and just shoot people. So I really really think that we have a real philosophical question here. Beyond that as a business owner entrepreneur I think it's the

city duty to defend that business right now and to stand behind it. [applause] to stand behind it and increase a deeper question to the people of Las Vegas what we can do as a society, as a community

to stop and to educate people how to control their emotions. >> Thank you so much. Is there anybody else that wishes to come forward at this time? If not, I will close the public meeting. Are there

any questions or comments from members of the council? >> Madame Mayor, I just want to read since we heard a lot of the folks in support, but I have been anonymously receiving emails about the

concerns around the reopening of Cork and Thornne. So, I did ask the landlord um if I could read his email and I want to enter his testimony into the record and then I just want to read a snippet of

other folks that are also opining about this matter because I don't want us to lose any voices in the conversation. And so, I'm going to read first this one. Good morning. My name is Gary Cray. I own

the building at 70 West Imperial Avenue where Cork and Thornne is located. I'm writing to you to say that I support their business license being permanently revoked. I like Randy. She's a kind person

and a hard worker. She undoubtedly put a lot of time into her business and it is her livelihood, but her livelihood cannot come at the expense of people's lives. And although not as important their

own livelihoods, it is easy to talk to Randy and want to give her another chance, but as her landlord, I can attest to the fact all you will get is yes to death. During the last significant incident,

we went over a list of changes she should make. Despite telling us she would do everything, I can't think of a single thing she actually followed through with. In the meantime, my other tenants are

picking bullets out of their fronts of their businesses, and my wife, who owns the business directly adjacent to Cork and Thorn, has a hole from a projectile in her garage door. I'm also here to tell

you that there are have been a litany of other incidents that Metro hasn't witnessed due to the fact that there used to be a building directly in front of the business and no open businesses next door

that would hide all of the activity. Open drug use, fights or frequent occurrences. A week or two ago, my wife got called and asked for her security footage because someone was assaulted in August and

I personally was verbally assaulted by one of her employees for parking at my own building. I have received messages from other tenants saying their employees want to get concealed carry permits

because they are afraid to park in front of Cork and Thornne. We have all put an enormous amount of time and resources into helping this neighborhood. The news should be celebrating all the great

things happening in the area and not them standing in front of chalk lines talking about the latest incident at Cork and Thornne. This wasn't an easy statement for me to make as she has been my tenant

for over seven years, but these problems need to stop. One event is an isolated incident. Two events are a terrible coincidence, but three significant events are a pattern. Please consider that I have

around 15 other tenants that have liquor licenses in the immediate vicinity, and I am unaware of single events like these happening at any of the businesses. Signed, Gary Cray. And he finishes by

saying, I truly believe if you let this business reopen, there will be more violence. Gary Cray 102626. This one just came in last night. Dear Councilwoman Diaz, I'm reaching out to your office once

again regarding the safety of residents and visitors of the arts district. I appreciate your past actions to make the arts district a safe place for residents and visitors. I call on you again to act.

Today, I write to you about the council's consideration of Cork and Thorn's continued operation. While patronizing businesses next door to or across the street, on multiple occasions, I have witnessed

violence fi violent fights, intimidation, and heard gunfire. On many of those nights, I retreated into a nearby business because of the fighting was so severe. In my experience, the recurring violence

around Cork and Thornne is abnormal for our neighborhood. I'm particularly concerned about conflicts that begin inside the establishment and escalate into shared parking areas. I appreciate the owners

and staff's efforts, including the additional security measures to increase safety. However, based on my experiences, I do not believe those measures have been sufficient. As violent crime continues

to occur at a higher rate than in other art district businesses, while no crime should be tolerated, stabbings, gunfire, and fatal violence pose an immediate threat to life that demands urgency. A

substantial change is necessary to protect the neighborhood I love. When considering permanent closure, please weigh the severity and reoccurrence of substantiated business connected violence, whether

corrective measures have worked, and whether safe operation is achievable. Continued violent disorderly conduct demonstrates an unacceptable continuing risk, and I urge you to support permanent

closure. And I'm keeping this um person anonymous as she requested not to be publicly disclosed. And those are the two um that I wanted to read. Madam Mayor, >> uh before you is there a list of

conditions that or would you like to make a motion that includes a list of conditions? >> I have a couple of questions for Cork and Thorn for business licensing and for Metro. >> Go for it. >> All

right. So, um I'm going to start with Cork and Thorne. Um, I've had I think I'm the council member in my seven-year tenure that's had the most disciplinary hearings because of the nature of the area I

represent. Fremont East, a lot of nightlife activity, the arts district. This is the very first one and it's very unfortunate that we have to stand here today. Um, [snorts] I wanted to ask you how

often does your business host live entertainment and when and at what time does that live entertainment start and at what time is it wrapping up? So, we do live entertainment every day and it starts

at 9:00 um during the week and we're done by 12 during the week. Um, Fridays is um, every other Friday we do the comedy which you heard some of the comedians. Um, and then um, that ends at well at the

time um, 3:00. Um, and then Saturday we have live entertainment from 9 to 11. And then, um, we close at 3:00. And Sunday, um, it's just, um, multiple DJs that get to come in and, um, express their DJ

skills basically. Um, and again, that ends at 12:00. >> Is there I guess um, when when is the last performer finished? So you're saying basically at the same time you're closing? >> No. So from 9 to

like during the week it's 9 to 11 and then we close at 12 >> and then Saturday is 9 to 11 same thing and then >> and then what time does your bar service end before you close? >> We do uh last well on

the weekends it's 2:30. >> Okay. Those are all the questions I have for Cork and Thorn. Now, moving on to Metro. Um, I wanted to kind of go back to because some something that came commonly to me as I

read this very well-prepared documentation of the events that have been happening in my confidential briefing. Can you reiterate, Lieutenant Burns, at what time most of these occurrences of violent

nature are happening? >> Yeah, I believe the first one was about 2:24 in the morning. Uh, one I believe was at 3:02 and maybe 3:15. Um, definitely between the hours of 2:30 in the morning and and

3:00. So >> all closing time because that was one of the issues that we would that that they would come back to say to us is oh we were in the process of closing or we had already closed. >> Okay. And

in your experience across similar investigations of these types of venues and occur occurrences events happening um would the likelihood of similar criminal events outside the business diminish if the

live entertainment ended earlier? I believe that the this the earlier a business closes, especially when you're dealing with a business that provides an intoxicant to its clientele, uh the less time

it gives them to to get intoxicated. Uh yes, I think that you would have a significant decrease as long as the business then also, you know, one of the issues we'd had at at the shooting was the

security guard, the business closes at 3. Well, he left immediately after the shooting because his Uber was there at 3. We need to make sure we have overlap of the business to provide some security uh

to the exterior portions until it thins out. When we do special events, we have officers at major events for a couple of hours after the event because we want to make sure during the exit that there

aren't any critical incidents and even just the visual presence of security or uh the business making sure that they are sharing the message of we're not going to, you know, tolerate anything in our

parking lot. So yes, I believe an earlier closure would be a significant improvement. >> Okay. And then these last few questions are for business licensing. Um in my review of all of the analyses and

all the facts that I received, I kind of um saw a before and an after. And for me, when I saw the business open in August of 2019, we don't see the volume of incidents happening when it was just a

floral arrangement placed in a wine bar. But then there is something that shifts the narrative and kind of maybe sets the stage for what we're analyzing today. And so um I wanted you Miss Adel by her

to really kind of tell us the compare and contrast of the initial scope of business when it first opened and then what it transitioned into in 2023. Um, okay. So, we did also look at uh the calls of

service over the last several years, and it it does appear that there's a lot more calls of service after they were issued the general entertainment license. Um, I do believe that the um the

incorporation of the hookah and the general entertainment license brought a different kind of clientele and a different kind of crowd, thereby, you know, creating a different environment. Um that

would be my assumption as to the differences of when it was a floral shop with um with a bar. >> Okay. Because obviously the evidence presented by Metro today about the March, May, and 2026 violent

episodes. Um, I I believe it's reasonable to infer that the issuance of the additional licenses in 23 somehow someway have something to do with the escalation. Are you in agreement, Miss Edel by? >> I

do agree. Yes. >> And with the additional licenses, is it also a reasonable inference that the business um hasn't grown into the responsibilities that go with this additional licensing? And I remember

that back in the councils of yester years, this is kind of like a tavern license. And it was something that was very sacred, very expensive, and people didn't really play around with what happened

because it was such a hard and difficult license to to obtain to begin with. But um so I just want you to kind of tell us what what are your thoughts about the additional licenses gained after 23? >>

Uh well, since March, um we've issued correction notices. We've met with uh Miss Garrett. Um we've revised her security plans. We've talked about different protocols. Um we've conducted follow-up

inspections. Um and as uh Lieutenant Burns mentioned, you know, when we do our inspections, we're doing it at a moment, right? It's a moment in time, and we do find them in compliance at that moment,

but of course, we're not there all the time. Um so although those businesses were found in compliance, there's still additional serious incidents that occurred. Um so yeah, I think that does it does

reflect in the continuing of concerns of what's happening at the location um about the security operations and then the response to the incidences. >> Madame Mayor, I believe Councilwoman Helen Pinsky

has a few questions. So um I'll yield to her before I ask my final about conditions. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Um, a couple comments and one question. Um, hearing from the members of the public that

came and spoke about um, the lack of ethnic diversity in our offerings in the city of Las Vegas make me somewhat sad to hear. We are without a doubt your Las Vegas City Council, the most ethnically

diverse government body in all of Nevada. And I think we take pride in that. And uh for the folks that are here, if you come talk to us individually about what we can do to try to change that in the

future, I am all ears and I'm confident probably every single person on the council would love to see that expand. And in full transparency, uh a lawyer, Mr. Hardy, is a W4 resident. He lives less

than a mile from my home, and I know him to be one of the finest lawyers in southern Nevada. Uh but in my four years here, we have closed businesses in Councilwoman Diaz's ward, Kenudson, and uh

Councilwoman Summers Armstrong's wards for less violent acts than this. I just want to say that uh for the record, uh this area, Ward Three, uh Councilman Councilwoman Diaz is a fabulous elected

official over her area and she knows what's best for W three. much better than I do. So, uh, like I told her this morning, I'm going to defer to her decision whatever she would like. Uh, but, um,

herring thing [clears throat] that I heard was that the security that was contracted with every single time has kind of failed. My question for Lieutenant Burns is instead of hiring another private

company, and I have heard plenty of conjecture about private security companies being subpar in Southern Nevada. My concern is that no matter what we make as the number of uh security officers there,

it's not going to be enough because many are operated poorly. Is there any way to up the condition of having security officers maybe [clears throat and snorts] mandate that they're offduty metro

officers so they're better trained? >> There there was a time when I was [clears throat] patrol officer every Tuesday at 9:00 you would get on the phone and call the special events number and it was

like calling into a radio show. It was always busy because you were trying to get those very rare few overtime spots for offduty assignments. Now, we have so many things going on in the valley at any

given time that we're bringing in Henderson and we're bringing in Marshalls and we're bringing in North Las Vegas to try to assist us in covering sometimes thousand positions that need to be covered

uh for events planning overtime. So, just saying that because it's sometimes difficult. There are times when it's the slow time of the year and and area commands will work with Lieutenant Kendall Bell

from events planning and be like this business needs overtime officers. That is a possibility. We could certainly we had talked about that. We you know see if that's an option. But there are times of

the year where you just can't get anybody. We can't get anybody to work at a legent or at a concert just because there's so many positions. So, while it would be beneficial if you put a patrol car in

the parking lot, if the city marshalss were able to do it, you put red and blue lights on. Um, we've had [clears throat] some issues with hookah lounges in the county and then we try to get patrol

units, even downtown area command is working feverishly to try to have a more visible presence in the area. That helps certainly, but it's not always sustainable and it's not always guaranteed,

especially if a critical incident happens somewhere else and it draws those resources away >> and there's no guarantee. So there's no guarantee. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. Um Mr. Kudson, >>

thank you, Madam Mayor, and I appreciate the presentation. Lieutenant, I just wanted to kind of highlight, you mentioned hookah lounges. Um and I know Councilman Diaz mentioned that. I I was just

going to highlight in my ward. Um, we did have a business shut down and the primary reason was the hookah lounge component that Metro came to me independently of this process and said they couldn't

control what was going to happen in the business if I were to allow the hookah lounge and they at the this is the boot on the ground. Metro officers were begging me not to allow hookah lounges at all

because it creates an environment they just can't control. Uh, and so I just wanted to put that out there that that that is something that seems consistent um in every proceeding that I've that I've

had to deal with in my ward. Um, and I would just also say that this council, we have four priorities now. Public safety is number one priority. And sometimes we have to compete with economic

development, but we cannot forget that the majority of our funds go towards public safety, which includes Metro and our fire department. And taking your advice, um, what I've done in my ward is making

sure that there is absolutely no hookah lounges. And if that becomes an issue, I take the advice of Metro and we cut it out real quick. So, uh, I'll support you in whatever whatever endeavor you take.

>> And, um, before um, uh, Randy, I don't want to close you down, but I also have a responsibility to public safety. Um I I I don't know what Miss Dios's motion is going to be, but if we keep you

open, we will be imposing uh the having the regulations we've already imposed, and there may be some others, but I will wait and see what her motion is before I make my decision. But um it's it's an

unfortunate set of events that has transpired. But I'm sure and I've spoken with you and you came to my office. You understand the severity of this situation and you have been forthcoming in wanting

to do whatever you can to continue to be a good partner of the city and keep our fellow citizens safe. So having said that, Miss Summers Armstrong, I understand you would like to say something. >>

Thank you, Madame Mayor. I was just um conver conferring with legal council. Um my concern is the parking lot and whether or not if that is um run by the city if there could not be an arrangement with

uh the marshall to have them pay for the marshall to be there with a with a um a uh squad car without and and that way we would have the the continuation um because I too you know >> [sighs] >> How do

I say this? I'll just be frank. Um, I've been on Main Street and it is not culturally diverse. And I think that there is something to be said about a place where people can go and feel welcome and

hear music that they want to hear and laugh at jokes that they can relate to. Um, and I think that's super super important. Um, I don't go out that much because those days are past. My knees won't let

me. Um, but when I was at that age when I wanted to go out, I always went places that made me feel welcome. Um, and I want us to have variety downtown. We don't have any place for you all in uh,

historic West Las Vegas yet, but we would have the same concerns, right? is that there's security that there is um you know all the things that that my colleague is concerned about I'd be concerned

about as well. Um it is true um that there is violence but I've also said to my colleagues that we really need to get to the root of why these things are happening. What we see here is the outcome.

It's not the reason. Right? There's something behind it. But the city council in this instance, we can't deal with the cause, right? We have to deal with the output and the output is that we've had

violence. Um I'm concerned that it is a city-run parking space and I think that there may be some um should be some discussion about whether or not this is an opportunity for our marshalss um to be

present on in spaces where we are running parking. right? It's going to cost of course and somebody's got to pay it. Um, but I also think that this is a lesson um for small businesses who want to be

in this space to really collaborate and learn from larger establishments like casinos about why they do what they do and how they do what they do in order to keep their area safe. Um, we have to make

a decision. I too am going to defer to my colleague. Um I hope there's some space for mercy, but I think that you all really really really have to up your game if she's going to give you an

opportunity. Um you're going to have to figure it out. Um and you're going to have to be committed to figuring it out for the long term if that is her wish. Um and that means that you're going to have

to look and talk to others who do this work and are successful to figure out what that means. Um so I wish you the best. >> Thank you so much. Um Mayor Proer, >> thank you Madame Mayor. Miss

Adelbyard, can you articulate the current conditions? Uh I is my understanding that we allowed them to reopen right after we slated this hearing date. Um, I wasn't happy to learn through my briefing

that even though they were kind of in a probationary period to today, some snafu still happened upon inspection, which again like we have to show that we are on our agame. We don't have the ability to

say it was X, it was Y, it was Z. No, no, no, no. I mean, the the lights on the dashboard are blinking. Like, we're going in crash mode, and we have to make sure that if we want to salvage it, that

we're on the best. So, right there, that didn't sit well with me. I'm just going to be very frank in reading that that we blessed you to reopen and then upon inspection, things weren't kosher. But,

Miss Adel Bhard, what what are the current conditions that are imposed upon their reopening? Okay. So, on October 22nd, we did reissue the licenses. There are nine conditions. The first one is the

hours of operation shall be limited from 8:00 a.m. to 2 am. Number two, an approved security plan and floor plan must be on file with the business licensing division and must adhere to must be adhered

to at all times. Any changes to that to the approved security and floor plan must be pre-approved by the director or designate prior to implementation. The security plan must include one, protocols

and policies for monitoring guests in the adjacent parking lot at all times the business is open and reporting any suspicious activity to law enforcement. Two, protocols to maintain adequate

sufficient lighting on the exterior of the business to deter criminal activity. The third condition is the handling and management of individuals involved in altercations shall include reasonable

measures to mitigate the risks of further confrontation among the involved parties during their departure from the premises. The removal of an individual from the premises shall not by itself

constitute compliance with this requirement. All such incidents shall be recorded and documented by the business. Upon request, the business shall provide the incident log and any associated video

footage to the department or LVMPD. Number four, at least one key employee or principal approved for suitability shall always be on premises of the establishment during the hours of operation to

oversee security protocols. Number five, no weapons, including but not limited to firearms or knives may be allowed on the premises except for law enforcement or security personnel if applicable.

Number six, a city and state licensed security company approved under NRS 648 must be contracted to always provide security services while the business is open. Uh number seven, a minimum of four

security personnels, which may include law enforcement officers shall be present on the business premises Friday through Sunday. Um, Monday through Thursday, a minimum of two security personnel, which

may include law enforcement officers, shall be present of the business of the business premises. Security personnel shall be strategically positioned to provide adequate coverage of the interior and

exterior of the establishment, including the adjacent parking lot and patio area. Number eight, the establishment's maximum occupant occupant load shall not exceed 83 persons including employees as

established by its certificate of occup occupancy unless a higher occupant load is spec specifically authorized by the fire department through an approved special event permit. For any such approved

special event authorizing occupancy exceeding 83 persons, a minimum of four security personnel shall be required regardless of the day of the week. And number nine, upon the discretion of the Las

Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, an emer emergency closure may be enacted for violations upon these conditions. >> Thank you, Miss Edel Bhard. Um, in the past, the city council has imposed

business licenses requiring periodic review if we so determine to give businesses a second chance or a third or a fourth. >> Yes, that is true. Yes. >> Are these periodic reviews conducted before our

city council? uh you have the choice of doing an administrative review or a public hearing. >> And at these um periodic reviews, are business owners allowed to participate? >> Yes, sir. >> Um all

right. So, taking all of this information, I reading the conditions didn't feel that if I gave them the benefit of the doubt and didn't want to take this space where people feel that they belong. I in

good conscience could not say that these were str strict or stringent enough. So we are going to be modifying some of the conditions. >> Okay. I want the hours of operations to be limited 8:00 am to 1

um 8 am to 1:00 a.m. The hookah license will be suspended and live entertainment will end at midnight and we will have a required review before city council in three months time. >> Three months time.

>> Yes. Because the reason behind three months, madame mayor, is it's a busy season coming. We have all of the holidays. We have all the festivities including New Year's and I can in good conscience

tell all of the adjacent business owners that I kick this can down the road to do a really thorough vetting, checking, inspecting in six months time back in April when there might not be a ton

happening. So, I think we need to be timely. We need to be inspecting what we expect. And Miss Garrett has to win and earn the trust back that she is going to do everything that this council expects

for there not to be another death. As a city, we've been working so hard over three decades of time, energy, investment into creating the arts district. And I have to keep everyone's well-being at the

top of my mind. I cannot continue to just say, "Oh, this is ancillary. Oh, this didn't happen." Be I have to do my due diligence and ensure that everyone wants to continue to come down and visit us.

And unfortunately, right now, I'm hearing businesses are opting to pull out of their business ventures into the arts district because of recent activities. So, we cannot afford as a city council to

not take prudent next steps and try to ensure that everything is going to be above board from here on out because I still am not I'm still not 100% convinced. Um, the parking lot was brought up a lot,

but none of that was addressed on the front end. So had that been flagged for us, had we triaged it, had we had we vetted stricter security, maybe a family wouldn't be missing a family member right

now. But the unfortunate reality is the homicide happened on that lot. Security shot into the public and into businesses that were adj's health, safety, and welfare above everything else. So I am

encouraged um that hopefully with these new restrictions and um we'll be in compliance and then we can go from there and continue to have conversations about whether this course corrected or not. So

that would be my motion madame mayor is to adopt these additional conditions. I don't know Miss Adel I heard do you have to read them into the record or do you have any further questions for me? we

will draft them so the language is appropriate. But um I do just want to state that um if we could set the the meeting then for the first meeting in February for the three-month review. >> Okay. Let

the record reflect that the required review will happen the first February 2027 meeting. >> Right. So let me make sure I have this straight. We've got the nine conditions. Uh we're changing one of

them. Instead of shutting at two, they will close down at one. >> Correct. We're going to uh uh the hookah lounge will be uh no more and in three months time at the beginning at the first meeting in

February we will revisit this >> and live entertainment ends at me at midnight >> and live entertainment ends at midnight. >> So just correction it's not that the hookah lounge will be no more it is

suspended until the review and more decisions can be made at that time. So that's >> I prefer that actually. Okay. Okay. So, that's license number P72-000064. That one will be suspended until >> just

suspended until February, the February meeting. Then we'll make another decision. >> Yes. >> That's my motion, Madame Mayor. >> All right. Shall we vote? >> Post. Thank you. Motion carries. Uh Randy,

we only hope the best for you. I'm looking forward in February to having a clean slate and then we can move forward from there. >> Thank you. >> Thank you for your time, mayor, members of council. >>

Agenda item 36 has been held in obeyance. Before we go to agenda item 37, I'm going to ask everyone's indulgence for a five minute break. Uh, we'll be back hopefully in five minutes. public art

initiatives within the city of Las Vegas. This impacts all wards. Miss Plaster. >> Good morning, Madame Mayor and members of council. I'm Maggie Plaster. I'm the director of parks, recreation, and

cultural affairs. And today I have uh with me Jennifer Cleven, deputy director, and Laura Machado, >> uh section manager. and we're here to tell you about our fifth fiscal year 27 municipal arts plan.

The annual report we're doing is a requirement of chapter 2.34 of our municipal code. Every September, the arts commission reviews our public art projects. They look at what's been completed over the

past year, what's in the pipeline, and any new projects that may be on the horizon. And after that, the arts commission discusses and votes on recommendations. And that's what we are bringing here to

you today. To do the work we do, we rely on consistent funding to make it possible. Each year, the city contributes 1% of its annual capital improvement budget from the general fund to the percent for

the arts fund. This funding allows us to create new public art and care for the artworks that already exist throughout Las Vegas. As you can see on the slide, the amount we receive can vary from year

to year because it depends on several financial factors, including shifts in the overall capital budget and the economy. For fiscal year 27, the transfer amount is $486,540. This funding helps us

continue to invest in meaningful public art projects that enhance our community and make our public spaces more vibrant and welcoming. We rely on the Las Vegas Arts Commission to support the work we

do. That commission was established in 1987 and has played a key role in encouraging and supporting public art throughout the city. These dedicated volunteers advocate for the inclusion of arts and

culture that is accessible for everyone. The commission is made up of 12 community members who bring a wide range of experience in the arts and related fields. They meet on the third Thursday of the

month to review projects, discuss new ideas, and keep things moving forward. It's a small group, but the impact they make across the city is significant. And before I turn this over to Jennifer, I

just want to remind you that we do have a public art master plan. It was approved by the arts commission and council in 2024. It was developed after a year of gathering input from the community and

from artists and city leadership. And it gives us a clear direction of where we're going. And rather than reading all of the five bullets on this slide, I want to assure you that we are pres the

projects we are presenting to you today align with our goals in the master plan. And now I'll turn it over to Jennifer. >> Thanks Maggie. Jennifer Cleven, deputy parks, recreation, and cultural

affairs director. Um, so throughout fiscal year 2026, we completed eight projects, which is a really an incredible amount for our team. And I really want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Parker, Reky

John's, Holly Lei, Mary Sabbo, and Laura Machado. This work is really um for a tenacious person and they get at it and they stick through and they see these projects through to the finish line. So I'm

always impressed by their professionalism and we're excited to share what we did this past year. So our first project that I want to highlight is in Ward One. It's our new medical district sculpture

titled Brainstorm by Las Vegas based artist and educator Wayne Little John. This was done in collaboration with UNLV. The sculpture is installed at the entrance of the School of Dental Medicine on

Shadow Lane. Also in W 2, the Mirabelli Community Center mural titled Find Your Wings by local artist Matthew Murphy. He focused on celebrating the activities offered at the center and combining

iconic Las Vegas landmarks. Due to the positive response to the mural, we're continuing the work with Matthew to expand the artwork so that it can be seen from the north side of the building facing

the freeway. In W three, we commissioned 10 artists for the AMP painted utility cabinet project in the gateway and arts districts. The artists include Samir Aznani, Nathaniel Benjamin, Chala Escobar,

Shawn Michael Evans, Miguel Hernandez, Maddo Hughes, Bonnie Kelso, Mila May, Andrea Andrea Pavez, and Gio Uranda. These colorful and eclectic additions to the neighborhood showcase the strong creative

energy thriving within the community. Also in Ward three, the arts district parking garage. We worked with Victoria Hart to create the new mural titled Electric Desert. And the mural celebrates the

spirit of Las Vegas, its landscape, people, and vibrant energy. The mural also includes a very fun augmented reality component, and you can scan the QR code that's on the stairwell, and you can see

the mural come to life. For the new Civic Center Plaza, we commissioned Cliff Garden Studio to create the sculpture titled Harmonic Ascension. It serves as a beautiful new centerpiece for the outdoor

plaza. It's a sight responsive landscape sculpture that integrates art into the way people move through and experience the public space. I think Cliff really did a great job of interpreting what this

space could be. So, if you look up through the sculpture, um, you might see some guitars. the skeleton of it is um just guitars that are flowing through it. So, he's really thinking about what we're

doing in the plaza, reacting to that in a visual way. Also, for Civic Center Plaza, we hired artist Crystal Ramirez to create the sculpture titled The Night We Met. Ramirez chose to incorporate a very

specific style of concrete breeze block that was originally developed by J. Sarno, the visionary behind Caesar's Palace. Its unique aesthetic is a testament to both Crystal's personal history in Las

Vegas and the history of Las Vegas. Um, the neon portion reads, "The night we met, I knew I needed you." So, and it's a lyric from the Ronets, Be My Baby. In ward three, as part of Listo Seuros

initiative, we commissioned artist Justin Favlla to design and install a new sculpture titled Lash Tres Flores. Created specifically for the East Las Vegas neighborhood that he grew up in. This larger

than-l life installation highlights the beauty of the desert through the bear poppy flowers that naturally grow in the mountains that frame East Las Vegas. Favlla also noted that the three flowers

represent the multigenerational women in his life with the flower bud being the generation to come. And then our final completed project this year was in W 5. We had the opportunity to work with Las

Vegas based artist David Ryan on a new sculpture titled Waiting on a Light on the Corner by Sound Exchange. It connects the artist design aesthetic with the visual language of Las Vegas signage,

resulting in a sculpture that uniquely represents downtown Las Vegas. So, in addition to the projects that we completed, our team is also managing 12 active projects um uh throughout the percent for

the arts program, one or more in every ward. And that includes in W one, the medical district sculpture project. In W two, the Halapai Canyon trail head sculpture project. In W three, the Stupac

community center and park mural projects. For W four, the AMP utility cabinet painting and Simron Rose Community Center mural projects. And W five, we have the Dittle Pool mural project and the Here's

Park Tile Mural. Then in word six, we have the Centennial Hills Park Tile Mural and the Pop Squires Park Mural. And then finally, for all awards, we're planning to purchase additional artwork for city

facilities. And we are creating a map that highlights all of our public arts so people in our community get to go see it and they can tour it on their own. Okay. Now, I'd like to hand it off to Laura

to go over our projects proposed for fiscal year 27. Hi, I'm Laura Machado for the record, section manager for the public art and gallery program, and I'm happy to talk about the projects that we've

planned for this fiscal year FY27. So, the first project we're planning is in Ward 2. The arts commission recommends hiring an artist to create a sculpture for the Angel Park trail head with a budget

of $92,700. It'll serve as a welcoming feature to the northern entrance of the trail at the Bruce Trent Park. Also in W 2, we're proposing a new mural for the interior space of the Veterans Memorial

Community Center. The mural will highlight the cent's activities. We'll work with the center staff to closely identify a theme for the design proposals. And that proposed budget is $62,000. And to

continue supporting public art in the arts district, we're planning to hire five artists to complete murals for the interior space of the new parking garage in the arts district. These murals will

support wayfinding at the elevator bays and also bring color to the concrete building. Uh this project is $140,000. And then also in W three for the upcoming future East Side Education Center, we

would like to bring in a mural and a sculpture for this new training center with the hope of having an engaging and inviting area for the students to uh be part of. The budget for this project is

$275,000. And then another project for W three following a request from the office of W three. We'd like to hire an artist to create a mural for the restroom facility at the Gary Reese Park. The

proposed budget is $30,900. And then for Ward 4, we're recommending a very large scale mural to be painted for the future pickle ball courts at Wayne Bunker Family Park. The mural will brighten the

area and be a unique feature for this new space. Because of the mural size, the budget is quite large. It's $216,000. And then for W five, we're proposing a sculpture for the Ethel Pearson Park. This

new sculpture will honor the park's namesake and also include um and highlight cultural landmarks. We plan on working with a historian to inform this project as well as long as as well as with an

artist. And the budget for this is $12,700. And then for city hall, we plan on commissioning artists to create new paintings for council chamber vestibules. So at either entrance, we'll have new

paintings commissioned. And then at every elevator bay at city hall. So, as you get off the elevator bays, we'll have new paintings installed for that. We'll work with stakeholders to create a theme

that really identifies uh the values of the city of Las Vegas to create design proposals. And that uh budget is $110,000. And then every year we have a contingency fund just to make sure that we are

prepared for any unexpected expenses. This year we would like to reserve $20,000 for this contingency fund. And that completes our planned projects for this fiscal year. We I know are happy to answer

any questions if you have any. >> Thank you so much. Are there any questions or comments from our board members? Yes, council members. Excuse me. >> Thank you. Um [clears throat] this is really

exciting for me. Um, I know that many of you know that I lived in Germany for four years. And when I went to Berlin, um, for a two-day visit, one of the things that I noticed is that there was public

art everywhere in very interesting places, unexpected places. You would walk down the street and there would be public art. And so I think this makes us um part [snorts] of that worldclass um sort of

city as we are growing up as a beautiful uh more than teenage young adult city um that we are doing this um and I'm excited about it. I'm very excited about the Ethel Pearson Park um uh work and

[clears throat] I'm hopeful that next year um we will have some money set aside for the triangle >> um in uh W five that's adjacent to um Ethel Pearson so that we can continue some connectivity of art

moving in and connecting the wet sea with the Ethel Pearson and the triangle. And so we we were low on the money on this time. We'll let it slide, but next year we'd like to have um I'd like to see

some commitment to a little bit more art um there in the historic West Las Vegas as we're really making that a a gateway into historic West Las Vegas. But it's really really good to see. I don't know

if any of you have seen [clears throat] when I was in Berlin, I'm walking from the train and there was a hand and that was the art and it was absolutely amazing how they had done it. I think it's

still there. Um these are the unexpected things that make visiting um a new place sort of shocking and you just go, "Oh my god, what is that?" Right? And so that's what we want people to do is to come

in our community and be surprised and amazed and stop and and investigate. Um and that's what public art does. And so I'm really grateful for your creativity and your openness um to be um at the

vanguard of of what is happening here. So well done to all of you. I'm really really proud of PRCA. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you so much. And Miss Kelly, >> thank you, Madam Mayor. Since I

have the pleasure of having you in front of me today, I I said this last month, but I want to make sure you hear it from me. I'm so grateful for the uh professionalism, the creativity and um the

commitment especially Laura um the help that you gave and and Jennifer too for the opening of the gallery and more too. It's really special. We're getting terrific feedback from the parents and the

adults. Well, probably in the kids, too, but they're walking through and being there as a result of the activities that we're offering and so happy for the addition. So, it's fulfilling that. Um, and

I just uh you didn't mention it. I thought you should have. So, I wanted to make sure that you know how happy uh both our arts commissioner, Craig, Nicole Corwitz, uh, and we all are. So, thank you so

much. >> Thank you very much. Uh, Mayor Prom. Madame Mayor, I just wanted to um echo the sentiments of both my both my colleagues, but give a shout out to our small and mighty arts team. Um we deploy

so much public art into the city and we're so nimble and we're so hardworking. So, Miss Cleven, Miss Machado, and please uh Miss Plaster, let everyone know that works in the department that we truly

value. Um, every time I talk to the artists that we've commissioned a piece to, they say how amazing it is to work with our staff. And I think that that should not go unnoticed. Thank you so much for

making the artists happy so they can continue to create in our city. >> Thank you so much. And is there a motion? >> I move to accept the report. Please vote. >> Post. you no circles. Okay, motion

motion carries and thank you all very very much. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Before we proceed to agenda item 38, I see Irene Bamanti in the um council chambers. Congratulations on your victory

last night. Agenda item 38, R-74-2026. Discussion for possible action regarding a resolution calling a public hearing authorizing the distribution of materials and authorizing publication of a notice

of a public hearing all related to a tourism improvement district in the city of Las Vegas and providing other matters prop other matters property related there too. probably related there too.

Boarded by Charleston Avenue to the south, the Union Pacific Railroad Corridor to the west, Bonavville Avenue and Gas Avenue to the north, and Main Street and South Third Street to the east. This is

in Ward 3. Miss Dios, Miss Babsky. >> Thank you, mayor, city council members, Dina Babsky, director of economic and urban development. And with me at the podium here today is Mr. Charles Johnson with

Johnson Consulting and Mr. Jay Dapper with Dapper Development. Welcome. >> Welcome. Okay. So, um I know everybody's well familiar with the way the TIDs work uh because we've done a few of them, but

just for a little background for the public and those watching on television, um NRS 271A allows us or city or county for that matter to establish a district uh within which uh we would be able to

collect a portion of the future sales tax proceeds to fund certain projects that are eligible to obviously promote economic development and redevelopment in our case in downtown. The proceeds from the

sales tax tax could could be used to acquire, improve, equip, operate, and maintain a project. Could be one, could be multiple. Um, and the statute does require for us to hire a third-party consultant

that is approved by the state and Johnson Consulting. Uh, we have worked with them on a few TIDs. Now, they are approved by the state to conduct a prepundonderance study. And the study uh must result

uh in the projections that the increase in sales and tax proceeds that are generated in the district uh by the future retail sales uh will be attributed to primarily tourists uh meaning non-residents

of Nevada. So the boundary that you see in front of you is the district we are proposing for consideration. Uh and that that's the district that the study was conducted on. Um while the geographical

boundaries, you know, over 17 city blocks or so, the actual parcels that would will be included in the district if it is created, um are only going to include uh either vacant land parcels or

underdeveloped and underutilized land. Um so therefore, when we come back to you for the ordinance, we will provide a defined map of the parcels. It will look more like a Swiss cheese rather than what

you see in front of you. Now as part of the study uh the consultant had to go out and uh evaluate the proposed development plan for the district to establish um the the number of tourists and the

project this number of dollars generated uh as part of the sales tax revenue. Uh so for this particular district the anchor attraction uh is the evil conval museum that uh relocated from Topeka,

Kansas. Uh it's a a very fun place. I'm certain all of you have already uh visited it but uh as part of the larger development within the district uh and the projections on the sales tax that was

based on the additional uh food and beverage and retail space as well as uh hotel and other hospitality components that are planned for the district. Consultants went out and spoke with the property

owners with the developers to put this uh development plan together. And just to um clarify one more thing on the eligible uh parcels that could go in there. Anything that currently has an operating

business that's generating uh retail or sales tax is not going to be included in the boundary. So the study uh does did come back uh uh to confirm its findings. It's almost 533% of projected sales tax

that will be generated by non- Nevada residents which will total to about 3.7 million um total. The study uh concluded that by 2033, which is the stabilization year when uh the proposed development

plan essentially is complete and businesses are operating, that more than 1 million visitors will visit the district uh spending over $275 million. There will be over almost 1500 ongoing jobs. And a

very important finding in the study is that no measurable displacement of existing sales tax will be projected. meaning that uh the future sales tax generated will be brand new in addition to what's

currently be being generated in the district. So, real quick, how the sales tax actually breaks down as we know the Clark County sales tax rate is 8.375%. Uh the two categories that are automatically

taken off uh is the 1.4% for local option tax and 2.6% for local school support tax. So with those uh required portions of the sales tax uh being taken off the table, the study uh used 3.22% of

taxable sales to determine its projected uh sales tax proceeds. And using those numbers, um as I mentioned, 7 million will be generated in total, of which 3.7 is attributed to non uh Nevada residents.

Um, and I think it's also very important uh to mention in uh this particular slide is that the city actually doesn't get to automatically keep this money uh and use it as general revenue. Uh this

funding is only eligible to fund projects within the tourism improvement district to promote economic development um and achieve the goals of why we are creating uh the district to begin with. So,

what we're asking of you today is to allow us to share the study and the fi and its findings with the Clark County uh commission. Uh they will have 45 days to review and provide uh feedback. Um at

which point we will be able to also meet with the state the Nevada Commission on Tourism and hear their feedback uh and um hopefully approval. Once those steps are completed, we will come back to you

all for the creation of the ordinance. Um and then at which point we will present the projects that would be considered eligible for the T reimbursement. Um with that if you have any questions happy

to answer. Also uh Charlie is here to answer any details on the proponder study or uh Jay related specifically related to the anchor project. >> Thank you so much. Are there any questions or comments

from members of the council? I do want to say I had no idea what to expect during grand opening. Um, it was truly spectacular and if anyone listening to us hasn't had an opportunity to go to the Evil

Conval Museum, I thoroughly recommend it. It's a hoot. It's a hoot. Anyway, with that, is there a motion? Mayor Prom. >> Yes, madame mayor. I move to approve agenda item 38. >> Please vote. Post. >>

be reduced below the minimum requirements under certain conditions, add bicycle parking standards, and provide for other related matters. and mayor and council as councilman Kudson mentioned and as I

said this is a first amendment uh that comes to you today first amendment to this bill comes to you today uh based on staff recommendation of one additional change was needed in the ordinance the

recommending committee adopted that change as part of a first amendment I have distributed that to each council member and the clerk's office it is ultimately a four-line change on page 17 of this

28page ordinance effectively eliminating the requirement for uh on-site parking uh for accessory dwelling units. So, we would just request that uh Mayor Prom, if she makes the motion to approve, also

state your name for the record. >> Uh good morning. I forgive me. Afternoon, mayor, esteemed leaders. Eric King, longtime resident. Um, I I just put this down here if you do want to see it, but I'm

pretty sure that the item um uh god I just had it here. Um, uh, 52, I believe. >> I'm sorry, which one? >> Item 52. >> Yes. >> Um, I'd like to speak on that just momentarily. Um uh I believe that that

10.99 acres west and east side of I-15 and in Air Bonavville and Sahara um is uh in one of the higher heat hotspot uh parts of the UHI heat map. And you may or may not see it on the screen if anybody

put the camera on it, but um uh and I don't know if I can get that to expand right there. It's not doing it for me, but um I probably needed the other page, but uh either way, I just want to show that

there is obviously a lot of work to do here with um you know, getting street side uh frontages uh better u shaded, protected, and so forth from the urban heat island effect. And so I just wanted to

make note that I think that might be a very opportune place to put um very needed uh trees as shading and cooling instruments along with calming instruments for lowered crime in the area um to good

use there. And indeed uh there's a lot of rain catchment that does come off of uh large uh interstate highways and so forth. So there's ample runoff rain to help supplement. Um, I think it' be an

ideal place to help uh orchestrate some offflow of that and reduce downstream uh flooding which uh is centered around the center of town quite a bit. So, a lot of bottlenecks there for the the storm

water runoff. I have a minute left. Maybe I don't I don't I don't know if I'm being timed or not, but um uh to say uh just a moment a little bit more about that. Um I I spoke a little bit about the

basins and I just want to touch on that. Um if you put those kind of basins that I was describing with the Marble Manor uh project um >> would you please be pertinent to these issues these agenda

items. >> Yes. Just to reiterate that that suggestion for the basins of 1 to two foot basins, if you had something with say 15 trees on either side, you'd be capturing an acre foot of water or more

that would be runoff from the highways. And uh and so anyhow um I'm not trying to waste your time, but I think to put it out there um initially as it goes through further development um I think would

would would help those trees get into such places and cool the area much more. Thank you very much. >> Thank you very much. Is there anyone else wishing to be heard on this item? Seeing none, I will

close the public hearing. Mayor Prom, may I have a motion for the one motion, one vote items? >> Yes, madam mayor. Move to approve. Please vote. Post. Motion carries. Okay, here we go. Agenda item 40.

Oh, >> where are >> we off the consent? >> Okay, that's exactly correct. All right. Agenda item 49. We will hear at this time 26-0384- SDR1 a public hearing site development plan review applicant

owner city of Las Vegas for possible action on a land use entitlement project request for a proposed one-story 16,548 square foot college development on 3.01 acres at the southwest corner of Bonanza

Road in Pagos. uh CV civic zone ward 3, Miss Diaz. The planning commission voted seven to zero and staff recommends approval. This is a public hearing that I now declare open. Welcome. Would you state

your name for the record? >> Yes. Good afternoon, mayor and city council members. Dr. Tammy Malich, director of youth development and social initiatives for the record, and I'm joined by my colleague

and fifth floor floor mate who will introduce herself. >> Thank you very much. Gina Venlass, Deputy Director Public Works. >> Thank you, Mayor Prom, for pulling this item for presentation. We are

excited to share a few details related to the soontobe East Side Education and Training Center. This started initially as a partnership between the city of Las Vegas and College of Southern Nevada. As

you heard from our friends uh Clarissa Cota and Frank Woodbeck, um we applied for an EDA grant and were awarded to build our first model of the Westside Education Training Center, which opened in

August of 2025. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm supposed to be forwarding this. Thank you. The education and training center model is really a visionary alternative to a traditional higher ed model which provides

short-term industry industry recognized training programs that are aligned with regional labor market demand and employer needs. The success and impact we've seen at WETS inspired us to submit a new

application for a compatible project in W three, which is this project, the East Side Education and Training Center. This application leveraged the building design as well as the program training from

the Westside Education Training Center. The grant was awarded in September of 2025 and is currently under design with construction projected to begin in quarter 4 of 2027. The East Side Education and

Training Center will empower career seekers, businesses, and community members through partnership resources and training. what that has looked like for us at the Westside Education Training Center

and we will replicate for career seekers stackable credentials in advanced manufacturing, construction trades, IT, medical professions and HVAC for businesses. We provide assistance with business

development and planning, printing and broadband support for community centers. Through community partners, we provide assistance with food, child care, clothing, health, and financial literacy. Now,

I will turn it over to our city engineer and deputy director from public works to talk about the building. >> Thank you, Dr. Malich. Good afternoon, Mayor, Mayor Prom, and city council members. It is

great to hear all of Tammy's good words about what is happening over at Wetsy and what is being planned for this facility which is expected to run about $19 million. This important Ward 3 project is

situated at truly an ideal intersection at the southwest corner of Bonanza and POS. It serves to bring education to the community in the heart of this mature neighborhood instead of having the

community have to travel far away to the education centers. The parcel is on the outskirts of the upcoming Desert Pines mixeduse development spanning about 80 acres bringing over 1500 new dwelling

units to this neighborhood. And on the next few slides, I will present some renderings of how the new building will look. This first rendering is looking north through the parking lot at the building.

You will see the landscape amenities which include over 90 trees, 10-foot sidewalks along the perimeter, and the bus turnout that is currently existing and will remain as such. This rendering is

facing south from the intersection which includes construction of a new right turn lane. This last rendering is showing the entrance to the building and you heard earlier from Laura with cultural

affairs that they are planning a sculpture and a mural at this site. And now I will turn it back over to Dr. Malich. >> Thank you, Gina. In closing, um what what kind of outcomes are we expecting to

see? Um I wanted to share um because many of our W three residents are also participating in our Westside Education Training Center just for one year. Uh the data that we've already seen, 302

applicants served, predominantly female, as you can see, 214 female, 88 male. Um 118 of those in earned industry recognized credentials, 89 had English as a second language measurable skill gains and

33 had measurable skill gains in high school equivalency. That's in addition to those that have completed their high school equivalency and passed. About a quarter of our participants have passed high

school equivalency. That is the only prerequisite to these programs. a high school diploma or high school equivalency. Employment outcome, we're seeing about 70% right now with the average hourly wage

of $25. So, you can see that this uh building facility and the work being done here is providing a huge benefit and positive impact to the community. And shortterm credentials run from four to 12

weeks depending on the program. So, in a four-week span, we can get folks trained, credentialed, and right out into the workforce. We're also doing the parallel to higher ed for those that may enter

as a diialysis technician and then decide they want to go on and become an RN or a doctor. And so really looking at how do we either create immediate employment or um or leveling up in employment or

and or how do we create or inspire those who want to go into the higher ed traditional role. And with that we will open it for any questions. Thank you so very much. Uh uh is there anyone wishing to

be heard on this item? Miss Bamante, would you identify yourself for the record? >> Yes. Good afternoon. Irene Bamante Adams. I'm here uh representing Workforce Connections. Just want to say thank you

uh to Tammy and the team. From the beginning, you guys have invited Workforce Connections to come in and be a thought partner on how could we serve the community together and the east um the West

Historic Side is an example of how we've done that. I'm so excited that we get to replicate that on the east side in Ward 3. And so um yes, the short-term credentials is dynamic for our region, but

there are some constituents that just need some extra help, right? extra barriers that need to be removed whether it's transportation, child care, food insecurity and that's where we come and

complement the work that's already being done. And so I'm grateful for the uh CSN and their leadership and being invited to the table to be a thought partner with you on how to solve these solutions

for our clients. So thank you. I'm excited about what the east side is is um going to be producing, having conversations with uh Mayor Prom on what could uh happen for her community out there and a

much needed resource uh especially for that area. So, thank you on behalf of our workforce connections team and our board members. Uh thank you for having us at the table. >> Thank you so much. Is

there anyone else wishing to be heard that knows something about this issue? Hi. Uh Eric King again, longtime uh resident, and I just wanted to put down here a thought that I had of how to continually

enhance not only the um the uh uh wonderful work that's being done there, but additional options for not only beautifying and enhancing the city, but providing jobs for people to do more of this work

like what I'm describing here, which does require a a good bit of thought and planning and design and implementation work. um taking water from the street channeling it into what would be one to two

foot basins which I've seen done say near UMC they've done something similar already that is very smart much more of that would be wonderful here and I think you'd have ample um amount of rainfall in

any particular rain event um that could run into there and uh make sure those trees don't die because they take a lot of money to to buy to uh for you guys to grow and to implement and to replace and

uh we sure need them growing and not having a mature canopy replaced every 5 or 10 years. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Is there anyone else wishing to be heard on this item? Seeing none, I will

close the public hearing. Are there any questions or comments from council members? Miss Brunie. >> Thank you, Mayor. Dr. Malish, I just have one question. Of the 302 people that web Betsy has served,

do you know what percentage are coming from Ward Five and or some of our more distressed zip codes? >> Um, mayor through you. Um, yes, Councilwoman Brunie, we do collect address and zip code

information. So, we do have access to that information. And we also do targeted outreach in W five zip codes. We will do the same for W three. I'm already meeting with uh Mayor Prom's constituents and

consultants in W 3 to talk about what that looks like. And I should have mentioned we have set up some preliminary programming at the East Las Vegas Community Center to start allowing folks to know

what's coming and start the orientation and adult ESL and adult high school equivalency, but we do track zip codes. >> Good. Good. Okay. Um, uh, Mayor Prom, before you make your motion, I wanted to

thank you for your tenacity and and working so hard on behalf of your constituents. This is going to be a very, very important project uh, for your ward and for the people that not only call Ward

Three home, but for the rest of the community as well. So, we're very excited and I think uh you deserve a lot of praise for getting us to this point. And with that, will you make your motion? >>

Before I make my motion, I do want to say thank you, mayor, but I also wanted to articulate that this has been um education and um giving people pathways to a better life has been a passion of mine in

my elected life. So, since I was in the assembly, education has been near and dear to my heart. I I was a you know CCSD educator but then now being able to create a space by which folks can give

themselves the opportunity to upskill to uplift to not just survive day-to-day but thrive in our city is just there's no words to describe how amazing this moment is where we're actually the rubber

that meets the road and making things happen with partnerships such as um city and CSN and workforce connections and bringing everyone to see and heed the call to serve the need of those that need us

the most. Because as Councilwoman Summers Armstrong that has the wetsy already knows, our areas have the lowest educational attainment levels. We have the lowest income levels and this is a start.

This is a spark uh for us to hopefully change that trajectory and that trend for so many of our future residents. So with that, I am so ecstatic to move to approve agenda item 49. >> Please vote. Oh,

[laughter] >> so I am excited that we had that you Dr. Malich and your team had the courage to duplicate what works, right? So oftent times everybody wants to do their own thing and my colleagues were

like why do something different when something is actually working and that's because we are committed to this because we are sisters in this work. We are colleagues in this work and we know how

critical this is. Um, can't wait to see the the data that you all present on the community. Um, but I want you and your folks to get your tennis shoes together. Um, so that we can hit the road again

and start knocking on doors and making sure that it's wonderful if people come from outside the community, but we've got to ensure that the people who live in our communities are taking full

advantage. So when we get that data, we will know, do we need to increase our efforts? What are we missing so that we get the best results for the actual people who live in our districts? Because

they're the ones who are driving this. You've done a great job. If you haven't gone to Wetsy, folks, go on over there and see it. It is It gives you tingles when you walk in there if you can't park

during the week because the parking lot is full. Um, so get your tennis shoes on because every the everybody is there that the activation is bringing that spark into historic West Las Vegas and I'm

excited um my colleague Councilwoman for you to have the same thing in your area. Congratulations. I'm really happy for you. >> Thank you so much. There's a motion on the table. Please vote. Oh, did

somebody Okay. post. Motion carries. Thank you so much. >> Agenda item 57 has been obeyed until uh the first meeting in December. Agenda item 58 26-0318 on a council review of the approval of 26-0318

SUP1 and SUP2 by the planning commission on the following land use entitlement project request on 19.93 acres at 300 350 South Rampart Boulevard South two uh suite 255 uh to 260 60 uh C2 general

commercial zone uh agenda item 58A 26-0318- SUP1 for a proposed school primary use with a waiver to allow no adequate pickup and drop off areas provided on site. Agenda item 58B 26-0318 SUP1 for a

proposed school secondary use. The applicant is Snell and Wilmer LLP and the owner is Nevada Development Associates um three LP at all. The planning commission and staff recommend approval on the

entire land use entitlement project. These are in ward two. Miss Kelly and our public hearings I now declare open. Um would you care to share with I I know the applicant wasn't able to be here but you

have received a letter that you'd like to read into the record. >> Yes. Thank you, Madam Mayor. And I'll make I'll read the the letter and then make some comments and and have you proceed with the

hearing. This letter is from Mike Van Dinther, who is the vice president of new school development for Fusion Academy. I'm writing today, it's dated November 3rd. I'm writing today on behalf of Fusion

Academy, which operates a unique educational model that is fundamentally different from standard K through2 schools. Due to this unique nation nature, Fusion Academy seeks out mixeduse environments

such as those found at the Tivoli Village. Case 26-0318 on your agenda for council review on November 4th is for two special use permits required for their zoning to locate in Tivoli Village. The case

file contains more detail, but to summarize Fusion's use, it is one-on-one instruction provided to each student for most learning with small group classes of six to eight students for certain topics.

It provides a flexible schedule with students setting their time on-site and online to fit their needs. So, there is no standardized schedule found with traditional schools. Our students have

historically been less successful in other traditional academic settings. Students who attend Fusion Academy tend to fall into three main categories. Um, and I will pause just for a moment to point

out that they have several othermies across the country. Students, oh yes, so the fir here's the first category. Pardon me. Students who are actors or athletes and require flex flexible school

schedule because of their career and lifestyle. Second category are students who are head ahead or behind in school and would benefit from an accelerated or more moderately paced schedule. And third,

students who suffer from physical illnesses or social issues that make it difficult for them to be successful in a traditional classroom. Because of the unique operations, a mixeduse environment is

ideal as it provides good access, parking, and things for parents and students to do such as restaurants as they spend their day on site. We are aware of the city's requirements for distances between

educational uses and certain uses such as alcoholrelated or gaming related uses. More specifically, section 19.12.070, 070 permissible use descriptions and applicable conditions and requirements of

the zoning ordinance. Future Academy is also aware that future tenants of such a nature may be located within or nearby Tivoli Village and may need to request a waiver of such separation standard. In

addition, they are aware of the city possibly amending its zoning ordinance to modify such separation standards for uses like Fusion, which are non-traditional educational providers. For the record,

Fusion Academy does not desire nor need any such separation for its use and will not object to any will not object to future reduction or waiver requests to the separation standard and is supportive

of city efforts to modify such standards in a future text amendment to the zoning ordinance. With that, we would respectfully request the city council approve the special use permits for Fusion

Academy. Respectfully submitted. This was on the October planning commission as a final vote action and um after I met with the fusion academy leadership and understood the unique approach to uh

delivering education in this manner. I was very supportive and still am of fusion being located in Tivoli village. What we I did reach out at the time to the uh property management company for Tivoli

Village, making sure that they were aware that these separation uh issues exist, but that I didn't feel uh personally and in talking subsequently with city staff and you mayor and others that when the

times that when when the time that the separation rules were put into effect, I don't believe an education offering of this type unique nature was uh in the minds of anyone. Um as as this letter said

uh there is no there's no regular school schedule. So we did receive some concerns from residents about uh traffic school zones. There is not going to be a school zone. There will not be regular

traffic. The parking at Tivoli Village, if you haven't been, is ample, particularly with their subterrain parking. And this is really in an ideal environment. What is what is what is real relative to

Tivoli Village being able to continue to successfully um recruit new tenants that may have in fact need a need to request a special permit or special license. we were able to work through this with

both them and the Fusion Academy um to recognize and that's the purpose of my statement here to recognize that it's not the intent at all uh of if if we were to approve this item and I will be

recommending approval of it today to uh harm any of Tivoli's abilities to be able to recruit and I'm sure there's a better word for the for the for the the use but to be able to sign on to uh lees who

may be needing um alcohol permits or or or modified gaming, whatever it has. And I'm certain that our executive director of community development, Seth Floyd, can answer any specific questions that um

anyone in the council have. there is a tangential item that I want to raise and although it's not related uh directly and has no uh relationship with per se and and and I'm going to ask Mr. Floyd when

I'm done to clarify in the in the event I misspeak. But uh we did have uh Boyd Gaming in the Sun because of the Sun Coast Hotel which is which is situated across the street from Rampart and as many

people know and we're so thrilled for the significant invest in investment that the organization has made is is doing a major rehaul of the property. Um that includes unbeknownst to us a rehaul of the

exterior part of the property which will uh which has a plan that's being reviewed by staff and they're in part of the the rehaul they are envisioning and I don't know the details to to which that's a

firm decision or not and it's not our business at this point but they are envision envisioning perhaps having some pads that are a long rampart that may then be within the 400 ft separation. And so

the question that was raised by their attorney, Russell Row, on behalf of Boyd Gaming, uh was a concern to make sure that Boyd is a has an unlicens unlicensed gaming license, no unrestricted gaming

license and um is in a special use district. And we certainly would not want an unintended consequence of putting in this innovative educational offering in the ward, which I think is an excellent use

and an excellent location uh to uh unintentionally and inadvertently affect uh uh uh one of our uh GA gaming partners and a certain certainly a large economic contributor in W 2 to be uh affected in a

way that we did not attend. And so with that, Mr. Floyd, I'm going to uh so I guess the final thing is this will the need to address this will be after this is my last meeting as we talked about. I

know Mayor, you and I have talked and um and and we have directed uh Mr. Floyd to address this. I know they're working on it. I'm not sure what form that will be, but I wanted to make sure uh that on

the record today at the point of this agenda item that we brought up this other tangential item so that I can make sure that it's clear to my colleagues here what our conversations have been here for

or here to for Thank you, Mr. Floyd. >> Yeah, mayor through you to the councilman. So, um if I could first just do the staff report on the item in front of you, >> if you don't mind the staff report

would be welcome. >> All right, perfect. So on on item 58 A and B, staff does find that the proposed primary and secondary school secondary uses can be conducted in a manner that's harmonious and

compatible within the existing shopping center and the adjacent residential, commercial, and college land uses. Therefore, staff recommends approval of both special use permits subject to conditions.

Um what the councilman was describing, actually I think this is a good map, the one that's in front of you now that that shows this. Once the school is if the school is approved, it will create a

distance separation from uh a few things including non-restricted gaming. Now, what the interesting uh quirk, if you will, here is that the Sun Coast across the street is within a gaming enterprise

district, which get which gets some special treatment under state law. Uh but there is still a distance separation. if there were a third party operator, whoever came in and operated a non-restricted

gaming, excuse me, a restricted gaming facility on that property. Staff has been asked to uh begin drafting a potential ordinance that would address uh that waiver and that distance separation and we

are doing that now. I I don't have all the details on that just yet, but we are pursuing uh that for your consideration later. >> It is not our intention to put Boyd Gaming out of business, is it? Uh,

no mayor. In fact, they they are safe. Um, this would not affect their ability to do non-restricted gaming in the gaming enterprise district. This would be for some of their potential future expansion

plans. >> Thank you so much. Um, this uh is there anyone else wishing to be heard on these items see that knows what knows about this item? >> I hope this is relevant to our discussion. Mayor Eric. >>

Um I uh I I hope that it is too, Mayor. Uh I'll all absolute respect. Um Eric King, longtime resident. Um my uh thought with the land use entitlement project, the 19.93 acres. Um, having, by the way,

having uh brought uh a num facilitated a number of group visitations to this property and spent a lot of money there myself, I love the property and I would love to see it um further be enhanced for

the way that Vegas could continue to grow even more exponentially fast. Um, which would include um further land use entitlement uh consideration uh I mean, you know, these people will not run out of

money, I don't think anytime soon and hopefully never. and um uh and put uh some more basins that I just described on the last uh picture into that parking lot uh as a potential mutually agreed

consideration to beautify it, cool it and also uh prevent uh storm water um uh havoc happening down further um pooling, you know, and that alt would definitely run down towards downtown and and

potentially create problems. So, um, anyway, I just wanted to say that and I think the more we can capture it up high when it's heading down slope and, uh, cool those areas, I think it will help

everybody. Thank you for hearing me. >> Is there anyone else wishing to be heard? >> Welcome. Please state your name for the record. >> Good afternoon, Madame Mayor, members of the council. For the

record, Erin Midby, vice president of government affairs for Boyd Gaming. Address is 6465 South Rainbow Boulevard. Um, I have nothing to add. I just wanted to thank Councilwoman Kelly for her efforts

on this, especially since it's her last meeting. Um, and you, Mayor, and, uh, your staff for doing this and helping us um, figure this out and so we look forward to working on that future ordinance

together and whatever help we can provide. So, thank you. >> We appreciate that. Thank you, >> mayor. If I made just one additional comment, uh I did want I did want my colleagues to know that we are

also keeping the uh Nevada Resort Association in in the loop and in the communications uh to further ensure there's no unintended consequences. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. I will now close the

public hearing. Are there any questions or comments from council members? Seeing none, is there a motion? Councilwoman Kelly? >> Yes. Thank you, Madam Mayor. I move uh to approve item 58. >> Please

vote. Post. Motion carries. Thank you so much. Agenda item 61 26-0270 on the following land use entitlement project request on 0.80 80 acres at 2622 and 2628 West Charleston Boulevard uh CD design

commercial zone 61A 26-0270-V1 to allow 27 parking spaces where 32 parking spaces are required for a parking impaired development. 61B 26-0270-VR2 to allow 34% lot coverage where 30% is the maximum

allowed 61C 26-0270- SDR1 for a major amendment to uh to approve plot plan reviews Z0018-681 15 and 18 for the proposed addition of a one-story 48 square f foot modular building to an existing 11,386q

ft medical office clinic development. The applicant is PBLO Medical Imaging and the owner is Leo Park LLC. The planning commission recommends approval on the entire land use entitlement project. Staff

recommends denial on the entire land use entitlement project. These are in Ward One. Mr. Ken to public hearing which I now declare open. Is the applicant present? >> Hello, Laura Drea, 520 South

Fourth Street. I'm here on behalf of uh PBLO Medical Imaging who is the tenant on this property uh in 2024. The initial request was made to approve this modular [clears throat] as an interimm use on

the site. Uh it contains a 3T specialized MRI and it was approved as an inter measure. Um at that time the property owner intended to redevelop into a new medical building. However, that application

was tabled at planning commission uh last year and the timing to resume is unclear. Uh as a tenant, we are asking to allow the site to continue operating as is. The business is operating well and it

sees approximately 154 patients a day, uh 20some of which are for this rare 3T MRI. It operates well within the neighborhood. The posting has been on site a while. It's been there two years and to my

knowledge, the neighborhood hasn't identified any concerns. We accept the conditions and request your approval. >> Thank you so much. May I have a staff report, please? >> Uh thank you, Madam Mayor.

Fred Size, Community Development for the Record. Um, similar to the previously approved request in April of 2024, the proposed the propo proposed development fails to comply with the minimum parking

standards. The original approved plot plan and building elevation review and title 19 lot cover standards. In addition, the requested parking and lot coverage variances demonstrate the unsuitability

of the site for the proposed modular addition as the site is being overbuilt. Therefore, staff recommends denial of the projects. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Is there anyone else wishing to be

heard on this item? Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing. Are there any questions or comments from council members? Is there a motion? Councilman Kudson. >> Move to approve. >> Please vote.

Post. >> I sorry. >> Motion carries. Thank you so much. I'm going to pull forward agenda item 65 at this time. Agenda item 65 26-0315 on the following land use entitlement project requests on 0.87 87

acres at 1801 South Rainbow Boulevard, Sweet 260 C1 Limited Commercial Zone 65A 26-0315-V1 to allow 54 parking spaces where 77 are required. 65B 26-0315-s1 for the proposed massage establishment use

with waiverss of distance separation requirements from a church house of worship and individual care center license for more than 12 children and residentially zoned property. The applicant is

conscious embodiment thermos and the owner is Miguel Imu I immuna uh LLC. The planning commission recommends approval on the entire land use entitlement project. Staff recommends denial on the land

use entitlement project. These are in ward one. Mr. Kenudson, they are public hearings which I now declare open. Is the applicant present? >> Hello, my name is Roxanne Sylvia. I am the owner and the

sole employee of Conscious Embodiment Therapeutic Massage. I currently rent a space in that building that I'd like to um have a massage practice in. Um so I request that you approve my project. >>

Thank you so much. May I have a staff report? >> Uh thank you, Madam Mayor. Fred for the record. Um, due to the requested parking variance as well as multiple waiverss of distance separation from

protected uses, staff is not able to support the requested special use permit and therefore recommends the denial of both applications. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. This is a public hearing. Is

there anybody wishing to be heard on this item? Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing. Um, are there any questions or comments from council members? >> Seeing none, uh, >> I beg your pardon.

Okay. >> Okay. Um, is there a motion? Councilman Kudson, >> thank you for pulling this forward, Madame Mayor. I'm going to have to leave in just a couple of minutes. Roxan's the most prepared massage

therapist I've met yet, and I've met a lot of massage therapists over the course of my seven, hundreds, hundreds have come through ward one. We're the epicenter of massage establishments, but you uh

will will do incredibly well, I'm sure, and I wish you the best of luck in your business. the parking waiverss have have uh no bearing on on her business because she operates one salon in a larger

building and I just happen to drive by that building about 10 times a day because of my kids and it's always an empty parking lot. So I have no concerns about parking whatsoever. Uh and wish you the

best of luck and I will move to approve uh item 65 and all associated items. >> Shall we vote? >> Post. Motion carries. >> Thank you so much everyone. Thank you. >> You're very welcome. Thank you. >>

You're welcome. We'll now go back to agenda item 62. >> We will hear items 62 and 63 together, but act on them separately. Agenda item 62 26-0293-1 on a land use entitlement project request from RE

The applicant is PN2 Inc. and the owner is the United States of America. The planning commission recommends approval on both the land use entitlement projects. Staff recommends denial on both land use

entitlement projects. These are in Ward 4. Miss Alan Pinsky. This is a public hearing which I now declare open. Is the applicant present? >> I am. Good afternoon, madame mayor, council members. My

name is Tony Celeste. Address 1980 Festival Plaza Drive. I'm here on behalf of the applicant PY Homes. As you can see from the aerial, the site is highlighted here in yellow. It is about 20 acres. It

is bounded on the south side by an road, on the north side by Lancha Avenue. You can see right here is the 215 a little bit to the west. The site is bisected by Alpine Ridge on the western third and

Michel Crest way on the eastern third here. This site, as you can see, um in the notice is under the Bureau of Land Management. Uh, PY was the winning bidder at the March 2026 um, auction and in that

part of the backup materials of that auction, there was a uh, appraisal appraisal report prepared. Um, that appraisal report relied on some various city documents and those documents had referred to

this parcel as already being zoned RD. As you can see, I'm not sure if the if we can get the There we go. As you can see right here, um, just the cover page of the appraisal report itself shows that

the site is currently zoned RD and that under the city code, that means it's a minimum lot size of 10,000 uh, square feet. That would also uh, you know, work out to about three units to the acre. um

that it's also planned mixeduse uh as well neighborhood mixeduse center. So based on the appraisal and those documents relied in the appraisal, PY along with other builders did uh bid on that based on

an RD density which would allow basically anywhere from about 2.1 to 3.0 units to the acre. PY was the winning bidder and began processing their land use application this past summer. Uh about a week

prior to our September planning commission hearing, we were notified that there was actually a mistake in some of those documents that there was a 2015 ordinance that uh made the property zoned re. So

as a result of that, we also had to include a zone change. So now what we have before you are two uh items a zone change to RD as well as a uh tenative map and the site plan. Even though this was

relied on irrespective of that the city um there is justification and um ability for the city to uh zone the property to RD. So basically my presentation will be broken up into two different

components. The first part will be the zone change and the second part will be the site plan. Um as I mentioned the site is uh right here located on the north side of an road. This is the land use map

and you can see everything in color is the land use plan for the city of Las Vegas. Everything that is more in the aerial or non-color are county islands. You can see right here the site is planned

neighborhood mixuse. Um, as the name sounds, mixed use would allow multiple types of uses on the property from light retail and commercial, including zoning or densities up to about 10 units to the

acre. We have what is called a conforming zone change because um we are only asking to go to the RD zoning, which would be a maximum of three units to the acre with a a minimum lot size of 10,000

square feet. Um the site is also located in the interlocal agreement. Um as this board is well aware, this is an agreement between the city and the county. And in that agreement, um amongst many other

things, it does outline uh various zoning uh various densities in particular areas within the OK interlocal andor minimum lot sizes. Um we are located in the A2 area. The A2 outlines that zoning um

would be at two units to the acre. However, [snorts] what I show before you here are eight different um items within the city and the county um six of them in particular in which uh the city or the

county um have made allowances to that interlocal agreement. You can see um there are five located or excuse me there are two located up to the north. There is one immediately to the north of us, one

immediately to the south of us, and then there's one over here on the top portion of this page that is in Clark County. Um, all those staff reports do mention that there was an interlocal agreement at

the time. Um, all those staff reports including the county are consistent, do recommend denial. Despite that, the city and the county in this instance did feel that they had discretion to um wave

those and either reduce lot sizes or increase the density above two units to the acre. So, I'm going to blow um and I have all of this which I will submit uh as part of the backup the binder that has

all of these staff reports and approvals and I will submit that to the clerk for the record. um just blowing up. Going in a little bit more specifically, you can see right here our corridor. Again,

our site is located right here. You can see there was there's about 30 acres immediately to the north that is already zoned RD. In particular in 2018, well, within the uh operating terms of the

interlocal, a general plan amendment and zone change from low and a zone change or master plan to low and a zone change to RD was approved. Um again, that's minimum 10,000 square foot lots. You can

see immediately to the north about a month prior to the interlocal agreement being adopted. Um those properties were included for RD zoning. So you can see we are adjacent to about 30 acres that is

already zoned RD developed properties all minimum 10,000 square foot lots merely to the south of us in 20 20 uh in 2018 uh came before you again a general plan amendment and zone change. That zone

change had RD as well as R1. R1 is of course even a more dense zoning district than RD. Again, this is also in the planned area of A2 which um outlines two units to the acre. We have a zone change and

one of the key differences I think in our favor is that we do not have a general plan. We have a conforming zone change. It does conform to your land use plan today. So um irrespective of the

documents that were contained in the appraisal report as you can see the pattern here the development patterns the existing zoning RRD in some cases even R1 our proposed zone change to RD is

compatible and on top of that there are several instances where the city andor the county have also made exceptions or allowances to that interlocal agreement. So for those reasons, we do believe that

the zone change to RD is compatible and appropriate for the city to approve. The next portion of this presentation is going to be with respect to the tenative map. Going to take a few minutes here to

kind of outline some of the iterations that we've gone through on this development and how we have now arrived at the site plan that is now before you in your backup materials. Um we started with uh

several neighbor we had two main neighborhood meetings. The first one in on July 23rd, a second one on September 30th. In between those meetings, we also had several smaller breakout neighborhood

meetings where uh certain members uh adjacent property owners contacted us and asked if we could work with them on certain designs, etc. So we of course being a good corporate citizen did that. Um,

I'm going to show you two iterations and there's been several prior to this and several in between this, but this gives you kind of a highlight of some subst some excuse me of some substantial changes

that we made. Um, initially we were reached out initially we actually showed um Michel Crest going through Alpine Ridge going through Lancha going through and of course an road in this area. These

neighbors immediately to the north of us who are arguably one of the most impacted did reach out to us about whether we could vacate and abandon portions of Lancha in this area which would be between

Alpine Ridge and Michelle Crest and then also Michelle Crest south of Lancha to an road and Michelle Crest would essentially elbow up and go north in this direction. We said we're more than happy to

work with them. However, that brought into play a second jurisdiction in which we would need to deal with and that would be Clark County. I will show you on the zoning map why that is the case. You

can see again everything in color is the city zoning. Everything that is not or the aerial is uh Clark County unincorporated Clark County or Clark Countys. So, as you can see, the north half of Lancha

is a Clark County rideway, and that ride ofway has been dedicated. Also, Michelle Crest, while in the city of Las Vegas, is technically not a rideway. It is technically a grant of easement from the

BLM in favor of Clark County. So, in order for Lancha and Michelle Crest to go away, we would need concurrence from Clark County. After meeting with Clark County, um it was determined pretty quickly

that Lancha Road they would not support a vacation. And because of that, the city felt deservously so that they could not vacate just the southern half. That it's either all in or all out makes

perfect sense to us. So, we had initially designed this, as I said, to include that. But unfortunately uh because of various reasons uh as stated by Clark County Lancha would have to go in. So this

unfortunately would not work. This you could see had 12 homes over here 44 all funneling out to Alpine Ridge. It provided protection immediately to the north with no vehicular traffic. So we went to

plan B. Plan B was this option right here, which as you can see, dedication of Lancha to the north on our side, as well as of course the county site. Here is the Michelle Crest alignment that would go

away. Um, and we proceeded with this plan. We uh had a hearing in September before the planning commission, then a followup neighborhood meeting on September 30th. And as a result of that hearing and

of that neighborhood meeting, it was basically expressed to us that several of the residents to the north and I would say probably 80 90% of them spoke in opposition to the removal of Michelle Crest.

We also had heard testimony and received comments from Centennial High School and the principal indicating that Michel Crest today is heavily utilized street for their students as well as I believe

bus traffic coming in and out of Centennial High School. So for those reasons um Clark County also kind of indicated that if that was the case then Michelle Crest they would want also dedicated. So we

went back to the uh plan C now which is before you here and you can see now again all the streets are dedicated as kind of originally designed again Lancha to the north, Alpine Ridge bisecting the

site to the west, Michelle Crest uh way bisecting the site to the east and of course an road to the south. Um this design does does work out in a few different ways. Um, first you can see we kept our

12 lot culde-sac over here. It's really kind of essentially three communities in one. We now have the second portion of the design, a U-shaped or horseshaped uh property in this location exiting onto

Michel Crest and then another culdesac that will have access to Lancha. What this did allow us to do was remove a couple of waiverss that with respect to wall height waiver that we were going to have

on the eastern property line. We can now more naturally tear the site from west to east. As you can imagine coming off the mountain there, everything does rapidly decline heading west to east. So this

allows us to tear the site. Uh the prior uh plan we had to build up this portion so that we could drain and fight against gravity and have everything go to Alpine Ridge in this location. Today we can

rely on gravity and the natural terrain and kind of stair step everything down and no longer need this over overhight wall on the east property line which of course was a major concern of our

neighbors to the east here. Um, however, uh, the one downside is that we do now have full vehicular traffic on Lancha and Michelle Crest, which unfortunately means that some of these neighbors, um, we

could not comply with their requests based on just the confines that we were were dealt with. Um, with that being said though, we did agree to some additional conditions to restrict the development.

This will be a one and two one and twotory development. We have um provided this plan right here. All the lots aster which are basically along the west, north and eastern property lines, we have

agreed to restrict those to one-story homes only. The balance of the property can be a mixture of one and twotory homes. Planning Commission had also um based on testimony they heard at the planning

commission based on the amount of vehicular traffic that could potentially be going down um Michel Crest as well as potentially Lancha had required us to do full off-site improvements. We were already

going to do them on Alpine Ridge which were going to be curb gutter and sidewalk. However, no street lights. Um, we're going to do full improvements on Anne Road, which would include street lights,

but also on both sides of Michel Crest and of course on our side of Lancha. Um, we have agreed to that condition. We have been working with Lucian and public works recently on a transition area right

in this portion for our off-site improvements because right here on this property is uh Clark County and it does go to rural standards there. So we do need some type of transition and uh condition

seven of VR1 um hopefully can be modified to recognize that based on whatever the drainage study tells us what the proper transition would be in this area. Um would like to show you a couple of our

homes you can see here. Again I mentioned they were one and twotory homes. We will have the ability to have um RV garage. can see here an additional one-story home as well as our twostory home here.

Um, with that, we uh agree with all planning commission's approval and conditions um with hopefully the ability to modify VAR1 regarding the transition based on the drainage study along Lancha as we

connect to the county and their rural standards. With that, happy to answer any questions you may have. >> Thank you, Mr. Celeste. May I have a staff report, please? >> Yes, Mayor Seth Floyd for the

record. Mayor, in 2015, the subject site was annexed into the city as part of a larger request 59694 and was designated RE residents estates. In 2018, a portion of the overall annexed area was

reszoned 72848 to RD. However, the entire area was designated as RD in the city's GIS database instead of just the portion. This error has resulted in the applicant being required to submit the

resoning associated with this item. Regardless of the error, the subject site is located within planning area A2 of the 2016 Northwest interlocal agreement, which outlines a minimum lot size of 18,000

square feet. Therefore, staff is not able to support the resoning and associated tenative map with proposed lot sizes less than 18,000 square feet. In addition, the applicant is proposing setback

variances for the residential homes and not to meet complete street standards which staff is also not able to support and therefore staff recommends denial of the related variances. Thank you. >>

Thank you so much. Is there anyone else wishing to be heard on this item? Well, I wanted to pull this up uh and just do a little bit of sketching here, but um apologies to the Where did you go? Well,

anyways, um I just wanted to put this this one photo up here. I just had the I don't know if it's saved to the phone yet, um but uh I had just put a little sketch up here. Consider all of the

wonderful trees they're going to put in there. um as this is certainly a a steeper slope than other places in town and um so there's a lot of water running there pretty fast and so those basins that I

talked about once again holding it up higher on the slope um this is already uh you know more of a rural place and the animals that live there they're exposed to heat all the time um you know

certainly to have that water go into those basins one to two feet deep um is not really I mean I'm no construction expert but I don't think it's huge amount for m for even greater gain because those

trees will survive better and animals and people who maybe ride them in nearby areas will uh suffer less heat stress and so forth. So those are all considerations. I just want to point out that that

at this stage um could be huge uh gains for not only beautifification and cooling and shading but also to enhance property values uh going forward because those mature trees would have better

survivability and thus whoever's going to be buying those homes will have more beautiful big trees cooling their property and protecting them from um people getting upset at each other because trees

are very calming. So thank you for hearing me on that. >> Thank you very much. Is there anybody else wishing to be heard? Please come forward and state your name for the record. >> Good afternoon,

Mayor Berkeley and council members. My name is Bridget Salvi. I'm a representative of the neighborhood with the Northwest Rural Preservation Association. Take a breath. Um, couple of items worth

noting. This parcel, these parcels, there are three of them are in, as was noted by staff, a planning area that the city and the county had both agreed to would have a certain development uh

recognition. I don't know if uh we can get this on the overhead, zoom it in very much with your IT guy. I'll put it in the middle. But as far as the joint land use plan the city and the county both

agreed to, one of the sentences I'd like to draw attention to has to do with the fact that the master plan that the city put in said this area could be a mixeduse potential in the master plan. I would

posit that that was an error which led back to the error from the GIS having mixed information when it was marked as RD. But the property should not be allowed to have any kind of uh recognition for

commercial or higher densities or uh industrial or anything that would be larger than the halfacre lots or 18,000 as a minimum negotiable option. Uh the other thing I'd like to draw attention to is

the fact that proximity is really important to the 215. Uh I would posit and I mentioned this at the uh planning commission that this area is greatly uh dense with half acres. The property to the

north that has an RD zoning, the blue coloring is actually half acres if you look at the assessor's map. Um because during that time the 2016 apparently there was some discussion that uh there was a

give and take even though it was zoned RD most of those properties in blue to the north are still sitting at 20,000 a little bit over 20,000 square feet. So they're halfacre lots. So my recommendation

to this council would be to consider doing what would be maybe a split zoning. Take Alpine Ridge as a demarcation line. the parcel that is to the west of Alpine Ridge. Uh sadly for the neighborhood,

it could potentially be the RD because that's reflective of what's to the north, what happened in 2018 and 2015. But the properties east of Alpine Ridge should remain as halfacres. Uh, I know this

developer has given some consideration to have single stories wrap around the northeast and west, but they're still sitting at 10,000 square foot. And the larger parcel in the middle and the parcel to

the east, because like I say, there are three sections to this. They should remain at halfacre. they should hold what was mentioned at the time it was annexed in 2015 as RE equivalent in the county

calls it something else but this is a city property they should remain at halfacres and so I would respectfully ask that this council either make modifications to the site plan here today or deny it

on its face and ask the developer to go back and make modifications that would truly reflect the current the current contract that we still seem to have until the end of December uh and is being

further negotiated. But the interlocal agreement does mark this area to have a certain density and this project does not reflect it irregardless of the fact that there was an error. The BLM swooped in

and followed the error and the appraiser missed it and followed the error. But here we are today with a plan that doesn't truly reflect what the contract and what the actual zoning should be. So,

thank you council members. >> Thank you so much. Would you state your name for the record? >> Hi, Mike Rivy, 10325 West Regina Avenue. Um, I want to bring attention to I want to bring attention to uh

Ma Matthews appraisal that was done by BLM. If you read that last paragraph, it's something very concerning in there. It's states that I'll just say say it. Basically, it says that somebody from the

city said that you can get a zoning change pretty easy. Please read that last paragraph. That's really concerning. And that that was not done by that was not b done by the developer. That was asked

for by BLM. Okay. So, I want to get to Can we take a picture of this here? Okay. So, as Bridget said, this is all uh half acres even though it's RD and we're surrounded by R&P R&P here. This is R E

halfacre. RMP R&P halfacre. Just this one little sliver right here one 12th of the perimeter is this RD. And the problem what I think is that it's not it doesn't conform is because these people over

here on the R&P they're going to be by themselves. They'll be impacted heavily by that density. So the R&P one of the big biggest one of the main tenants is it is to preserve and I hope that I hope

the city can work with uh the county to preserve it. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Is there anybody else wishing to come forward? Seeing none, I will close the public hearing. Um are there any

questions or comments from council members? Yes, Miss Rooney. >> Thank you. I just have a clarifying question. Um, on item number 63A, the variance, Mr. Celeste, it sounded like you were saying, uh,

you are going to put in the curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lights, but you just wanted some flexibility to figure out the drainage issue with respect to the Clark County piece. So, do you I was just

trying to figure out whether you still need that variance. Thank you. >> Um that is >> um if I may um that is uh very close. Uh Councilman Brun, we are doing um on Alpine Ridge uh full improvements

minus street lights. That the theme was to keep the night skies. So we were doing on Alpine Ridge, Lancha, Michelle Crest, and then the slight modification we're talking about would probably occur

right here. A transition of some sort, a potentially no potentially maybe not potentially rural standards here so that we can provide an appropriate transition to then here, which is Clark County,

which it is rural standards. However, whatever this transition looks like would be subject to the approved drainage study. That was the modification I was asking for. >> Do you have any other

questions, Miss Rooney? Thank you. Um, all right. Seeing no one else, may I um ask uh Miss Fran, [laughter] Miss Pinski to uh talk about this issue. Uh, thank you, Madam Mayor. Uh, Tony, would you put

up the the site map with the asterises on it? >> Yes. >> And I realize we have uh somewhat of a discrepancy in what I think is best versus what some of the adjacent neighbors think is best. Uh as you

can see from this uh photo, the area on the west side is county. You want to point that out? Yeah, those. And then hop over north that that Yeah. All that north area is county and then east area is

county. So as uh Miss Salvi described, she thought it was best because the 215 is at the far uh west. She described having that first area more dense and then the other two subsections less dense. But

I made a decision that because of the adjacent neighbors that the gentleman just mentioned uh east and west that having less dense on the east and west portions and more dense in the middle is in my

opinion more kind and more neighborly than the other version mentioned. And uh I guess that's just a a decision actually if I had my own way I would have gone with the vacation of Michelle Crest. So

um I've got some remarks here prepared to uh to give. Uh this is not my favorite version of the plan but my favorite version of the plan did not come to fruition in the process of talking with the

neighbors. uh want to take a moment to recognize PY for their partnership they have and what which they have demonstrated throughout this process. Uh this project began in March and I think it's

important to recognize just how much collaboration and willingness uh to listen that has gone to getting us here today and sometimes when nobody is happy maybe that's the right place we all need to

be. Also would like to address the elephant in the room which is that the design of these homes. These homes are beautiful. They range from $1.1 million to $1.7 million. They are stunning and they fit

well with the surrounding area. I also believe that this type of development adds to the appeal of the Northwest, which continues to be one of the most desirable places to live in all of Southern

Nevada. But just as important as the homes themselves, how we got here is also significant. From the very beginning, PY made an effort to meet with neighbors and understand their concerns. At my

request, they even held a voluntary neighborhood meeting that gave residents an opportunity to share their thoughts. Of course, one of the biggest concerns raised during the initial neighborhood

discussion was Michel Crest way. You want to point that out, please? At that point, many of the neighbors felt that the road should be closed. Fancy word we say vacated. PY took that feedback

seriously and went back to their drawing board. They worked with public works and explored changes to their original plans. And we also took time to look at traffic conditions firsthand. I joined our

city traffic engineer, our deputy public works director, staff, and the Centennial High School principal to evaluate traffic flow along Michel. Then PY held a second voluntary neighborhood meeting at

the request of the planning commission. Through those additional conversations, feedback shifted and the neighbors ultimately expressed a preference for keeping Michel Crest way open despite what I

wanted and perhaps what others wanted. Other concerns were that uh the two-story homes in the in the adjacency could impact the views many residents have come to cherish in the Northwest. Pulsey again

listened to that feedback as well as made singlestory homes available behind existing residents to help preserve those views. That's the asterises you see around the border. They didn't just come in

with a plan and expect the neighborhood to accept it. They listened, made adjustments, and showed a willingness to work towards a solution. And that's the kind of partnership and collaboration we like

to see in Ward 4. I want to thank PY and the residents who took time to participate, our city staff for the many, many, many, many conversations and hours of work that brought this project before us

today. And a side note, uh the city and the county are currently in uh in-depth negotiations regarding the Northwest interlocal agreement, of course, and um city staff has come up with a short list of

parcels that uh border the periphery that they are recommending for what we refer to as modernization in what will hopefully be a new interlocal agreement signed between now and February 20th of 2027

and this parcel because you don't have entitlements until you have entitlements is listed based on staff recommendation to transition from RE to RD. So I'm prepared to make a motion >> on 62 >> on 62

madame mayor through through the record. Yes, really quick. Uh assuming that we're okay with the transition he was Tony referenced in his in his presentation like to amend condition number seven of >>

we're on 62 >> var one. >> Oh sorry not 62 but 63 I guess it will be >> I think we're doing 62. >> We're doing 62 first. >> Okay. >> But taking the two items separately. So may I have a motion on 62

please? I move to approve item number 62 consistent with planning commission's recommendations uh for approval. >> Please vote. >> Post. >> Motion carries. And then may we have a motion for items 63A

to 63D? >> Uh yes, Madame Mayor. Thank you. I'd like Lucian if he could please to discuss or maybe read agreed upon conditions. Sure. Again, Lucian Pi for the record. Madame Mayor, through you. What

we'd like to do is add a sentence to condition number seven of VAR one, which will just read, "The appropriate transition from full improvements to no improvements in Clark County shall be determined

in the technical drainage study." >> Thank you. Does the applicant agree to that condition? >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Okay. I move forward uh approval of item number 63 including parts A through D with

agreed upon conditions Lucian mentioned. Thank you so much. Please vote. Post. Motion carries. >> Thank you. >> You're very welcome. This agenda item 64 has been held in obeyance until uh December 2nd

uh 2026. Agenda item 65 26-0315 on the following land use entitlement project request on 0.87 acres at 1801 South Rainbow Boulevard sweet. >> We took it out of order. >> Yes, please forgive me. Agenda

that just helps a lot. [laughter] Agenda items 66 and 67. We will hear them together but act on them separately. Agenda item 66 26-0356 on the following land use entitlement project request on 211 11

acres on the north side of Alexander Road approximately 330 ft east of Giuliano Road 66A 26-0356-Z1 from REial Estates to R1 Single Family Residential 66 26B 26-0356-V1 to allow a one connectivity

ratio where 1.3 uh 1.3 is required. 66 C 26-0356-VAC1 for a petition to vacate the US government patent easements. 66D 26-0356-TMP1 for a proposed six lot single family residential subdivision with a

waiver of the perimeter landscape buffer requirements 6726-0436-V1 on a land use entitlement project request to allow a proposed perimeter and retaining wall that does not conform to Title 19.06 06

development standards for height and overall height on 2.11 acres on the north side of Alexander Road approximately 330 ft east of Giuliano Road Rees residential estates zone. The applicant is Plaster

Development Company, Inc. and the owner is Signature Homes uh 073 LLC. The planning commission recommends approval on both land use entitlement projects. Staff recommends denial on both land use

entitlement projects. These are in ward four. Miss Pinsky, these are public hearings which I now declare open. Is the applicant present? Good afternoon. Jennifer Lazovich here today representing the

applicant. If you could look at the overhead, please. Thank you. So, the site is located just north of Alexander Road and just to the east of El Capitan Way. On this particular site, you can see that

on either side of us, there are two existing projects that each have eight lots within the culdesac. There's eight here and there's eight here. What we're proposing to do today is um near their

zoning, but we are only doing six lots. So, where we have eight lots here and eight lots here, we are proposing to do a total of six lots. With that, we also have a variance request to do an increased

wall height along our east boundary and a little portion of our northeast boundary. And the reason why we need that is because if you've seen this site in person, you'll know that, and I'll use this

project to the west of us as an example, they have done a a tiered walls and it's outside of their walls as you look towards the east. um on this condition and essentially we have that condition uh

that we need to deal with on our east side of our project. Now, when we were at the planning commission, um the family who lived in this lot, um participated in the planning commission hearing and

then subsequent to that, Rick Baron of Signature Homes had a conversation with this property owner and as a result, we have some additional conditions that I'll describe and then I'll look to Mr. CIS

to read them into the record um in a more meaningful way. But um given the height of the wall that we were asking for along the east boundary, we were asking for a solid one single tall block wall to

be built along the east boundary and again a portion of the northeast uh side of the site. in working with this neighbor. Um what we're going to do instead it is ask then on item number 66 that we ask

that both lots five and six be limited to singlestory homes. And then the other thing that we're going to do is kind of mirror the same setback requirement on the walls. I should say step back

requirement on the walls that is was done on the west side for this development. We're going to do it on the east side for our development. And it's kind of technical the way it's worded. So I will um

turn that over to Mr. CIS to read into the record. But uh that way we don't have one single tall wall. We have a shorter retaining wall 5T and then a screen wall and we we kind of bring the height

down a little bit that way. So in combination with those additional two conditions, we would ask for your support. >> Thank you so much. May I have a staff report? >> Uh thank you, Madam Mayor. The

proposed reszoning to the R1 district will allow for a minimum lot size of less than 10,000 square feet as prescribed by the 2016 Northwest interlocal planning uh area B. The applicant's request for

R1 zoning district to take advantage of reduced front and rear setback requirements versus that of the interlocal agreement compliant RD zoning district is preferential in nature and is not supported

by staff. Furthermore, the design of the subdivision is based upon the need for variances for connectivity and wall height. uh and staff cannot support that. As such, staff is recommending denial of

the project. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Is there anyone wishing to be heard on these items >> that it you will be relevant to the items that are up for consideration? >> I don't think that's

pertinent to what we're talking about right now. Thank you. I appreciate that very much. Are there any questions or comments from the council? Seeing no one, um, is there a motion for items 66 through

606? Councilwoman Pinski. And Madam Chair, um I do need to add that condition to both to to both 66 and 67, but with starting with 66D, I can add a condition that states uh development on lots five

and six are limited to single singlestory homes. >> Do you agree to that condition? >> Yes, we do. >> Thank you so much, Miss Finski. >> Thank you, Madam Mayor. This one was uh a little more easier

than usual, so I'm going to just get to it. Let's uh make a motion to approve item number 66 66 A B C D with the uh forementioned condition. Thank you so much. Please vote. Post. Motion carries. And

may I have a motion for item 67? 67. Move to approve. >> And madame mayor, once again I have a condition 67. >> Fred's condition. >> Yeah. Um so 67 we should amend condition one of variance one to

read a variance is hereby approved to allow a 6- foot secondary stepback where a 4 foot is the maximum let me start this over again. So amended condition one of item 67 to read a variance is hereby

approved to allow a six-foot secondary stepback wall where 4T is the maximum uh allowed along the east property line and the northeast portion of the northern property line. The five- foot stepback

spacing area uh between secondary and primary wall shall have a gravel weed barrier installed. All other components of the step back wall shall comply with title 1906 standards. Thank you. >> Thank

you so much. And do you agree to that condition? >> Yes. Essentially, it'll create the same condition or similar to that we have on the west and there'll be a a gate right in the front for access um

within that area for our HOA to maintain. Yes. >> Thank you so much. May I have a motion for item 67? >> Thank you, Madam Mayor. I live less than a mile away and I have the same scenario with the

slope that goes down and double walls between myself and my western neighbor. It does not affect quality of life at all. Have no problem with it. Uh move to approve item number 67 with the condition,

but I don't have that weed barrier thing. Anyway, move to approve. Please vote. Post. Motion carries. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Agenda item 68 26-0374 on the following land use entitlement

project request on 5.39 acres on the east side of Walapai Way approximately 1,970 ft north of Lone Mountain Road 68A 26-0374-GPA1 from RNP Rural Neighborhood Preservation to Low Density City

Residential 68B 26-0374-GPA2 to amend the Las Vegas 2050 master plan existing and planned trail map to remove a portion of a proposed equestrian trail alignment located approximately 350 ft east of

Walapai Road, south of the proposed Washborne Avenue alignment and north of the proposed Rosada Way alignment. 68 C 26-0374- N1 from RE residential estates to R1 single family residential 68D

26-0374-V1 to allow private streets without a gate that do not conform to Title 19.04 04 Complete Street Standards 68E26-0374-TMP1 for a proposed 18 lot single family residential subdivision. Note the

request was amended at planning commission for a proposed 15 lot single family residential subdivision. The applicant is Toll South LV LLC. The owner is [clears throat] the United States of America.

The planning commission recommends approval on the entire land use uh entitlement project. Staff recommends approval on 26-0374-GPA2 and denial on 26-0374, GPA1, Z1, VR1, and TMP1. These are in Ward

4. Miss Binsky, these are public hearings which I now declare open. Is the applicant present? >> Good evening, General. Oh. I got a little ahead of myself. Good afternoon. Jennifer Lazovich, 1980

Festival Plaza Drive here today on behalf of Toll Brothers. The site, if you can look at the map that I have. Thank you. The site is located just east of Walapai. This property right here as well as

this property right here is um for Nevada Readymix. They use the these two sites. Um a little more activity occurs over here. At least of late. This seems to be for storage of things, but they have

certainly used it in the past. Immediately to the north of Nevada Ready Mix um is an area that has similar lot sizes to what we initially proposed. And then of course you have Walapai and we sit to

the east of Walapai. When we initially did our neighborhood meeting, we proposed an 18 lot uh subdivision. Again, this is Nevada Readymix. This is the same density that's diagonal to us. And there

were concerns relating to the number of lots and the size of the lots, particularly as you move west because what you see as you move west and even kind of diagonally to the southwest are halfacre

lots. So, at the planning commission, we adjusted um the amount of lots uh to 15 lots, and this is what um was presented at the planning commission and what they ultimately recommended approval of.

Since that time, Councilwoman Pollinsky has asked us to make further reductions. And so, the project that's before you today has a total of 12 lots. So, from where we started, it was 18. We are now at

12 lots. Uh the lots that are on the east side of this project are 18,000 um or greater and that creates a good transition as you move to the east. This plan does have a recognition that along Walapai

which is a very large road which is across the street from Nevada Readymix and which is diagonal to the um smaller lots that are located to the northwest. It kind of mirrors that in a transition as

you move to the east. So, the um project we're presenting to you today has a maximum of 12 lots. Um we are continuing the multi-use trail along Walapai just as the developer did to the north of us.

So, that continues along Walapai where you'll have a sidewalk and a multi-use trail. And then we again because of the size of Walapai, we do plan to put in street lights along Walapai. But for Rosada

and for Washburn, I should say Rosada and Washburn. Um, given that as you move to the east, you can see what it looks like as you move to the east. This is more rural. These are more rural standards.

Our thoughts would be not to put in the street lights on Rosetta or Washburn. We'll pay the deferral fee as we're required to do, but we wouldn't be installing those street lights recognizing what you

get when you move to the east. So, with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions. >> Thank you so much. May I have a staff report, please? >> Yes, mayor. The applicant is requesting a general plan

amendment to realign the equestrian trail from Ula Street to Walapai Way, which staff supports as it would align the existing trail improvements to the north. Conversely, due to the site being located

within the 2016 Northwest interlocal agreement planning area A2, which requires a minimum lot size of 18,000 square feet, as well as proposing a private street without gate that does not meet public

street standards. staff is not able to support the remaining applications and recommends denial of GPA1 zone one variance one and tenative map number one. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Is there

anyone else wishing to be heard on this item? Is this pertinent to what we are discussing? >> Yes, ma'am. >> All right, let's hear it. If it has to do with landscaping, there's nothing here that says

anything about landscaping. >> Um, okay. Well, just very briefly, there there's going to be horses riding by these trees. If you put the basins in, as I described, as I just briefly sketched up here,

um, you know, then, uh, you're going to protect these trees. And if we don't have conversations about this now, mayor, it's a lot harder for builders to put that in retrofit and retrofit it. So, I'm

just trying to protect the horses. They're going to be subjected probably to 225 degree heat in the next 10 to 20 years. Thank you. Is there anybody else wishing to be heard? Seeing no one, I will

close the public hearing. Uh, does anybody on the city council wish to be heard? Seeing no one, I will close the public I already closed a public hearing. Um, are there additional um conditions that

we would want uh the applicant to agree to? >> Yeah. Yes. >> Yes. Madame Mayor Lucian Pot for the record with under the understanding that they're not going to put any street lights in on Rosado or

Washburn, we'd like to amend the portion of the staff report that's underlined. This is um condition number 10 of the tentative map. So it would read street lighting is required on Halapi. Street

lighting on Rosetta Rosada Way and Washurn Road are deferred provided that a 100% deferral fee is contributed. >> Does the applicant agree to those conditions? >> Yes. Thank you very much. See no

questions from council members. Is there a motion? Councilwoman Palinski. >> Uh thank you, Madame Mayor. And I just want to before I make the motion, give a shout out uh in our backup. There is a very

well-ritten letter from Mr. John Mcgrael uh asking for reduced density. I sincerely hope that he um he sees our reduction in density and is happy with his uh a neighboring adjacency. Uh Mr. McGrael,

shout out or call me if if there's issues here, but I think that you should be happy. Uh I move to approve item number 68 A through E, including the condition Mr. Lucian uh read earlier about uh

deferring off sites. Thank you. All right, please vote. Post. Motion carries. Thank you so much. >> Agenda item 69, 26-0378 on the following land use entitlement project request on 5 acres on the

north side of Radley Avenue alignment approximately 660 ft west of the Pulley Road. 69A 26-0378-GPA1 from PF public facility to ML medium low density residential 69B 26-0378-1 from U undeveloped PF

26-0378--VR2 to allow proposed interior and perimeter walls that do not conform to title 1906 development standards for height 69E26-0378-TMP1 for a proposed 30 lot single family residential

subdivision. The applicant is Toll South LV LLC and the owner is the United States of America. The planning commission recommends approval on the entire land use entitlement project. Staff recommends

approval on 26-0378, GPA1 and CO1 and denial on 26-0378, VR1, VR2, and TMP1. These are in Ward 6, Miss Brunie. There are public hearings which I now declare are open. Is the applicant present? >> Yes.

Good afternoon. Jennifer Lazovich representing Toll Brothers. Again, this particular project is located on uh I should say just south of Kyle Canyon Road. If you can look at my Ariel, thank you. Just

south of Kyle Canyon Road and located um east of Sheep Mountain Parkway here in yellow. Uh the project is for a single family detached uh home subdivision. This is what we originally filed. However,

what the planning commission approved is this plan. We did lose one lot and we increased the um internal open space in this area. And then we also provided a copy of what our amenities would be. That

has been emailed into the city so they would get an idea of what that is. We did the neighborhood meeting. No one um attended and had any objections and we'd ask for you to follow the planning

commission. >> Thank you so much. May I have a staff report? Um, thank you, Madam Mayor. The proposed general plan amendment and zoning designation are consistent with the lowdensity residential

designation recommended by the Kyle Canyon special area plan. Staff therefore finds the proposed general plan amendment and reszoning to be appropriate for the area. However, the requested variances

for ungated private street standards, connectivity ratio, and perimeter walls have been determined to be self-imposed self-imposed hardships and therefore staff recommends denial of the variances

intent of map. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. This is a public hearing. Uh, is anyone wishing to be heard on this item? Seeing none, >> yes. >> Uh, do is are you going to talk about what is

pertinent to what we are voting on? >> If this is pertinent, you may speak. If not, you may not. >> I don't want to abuse it, ma'am, but I would like to say that right now. Um again, Eric King. Um >>

what is res? >> Yeah. Okay. Say okay. So very simple. There right now is very little to no discussion happening about wildlife corridors in the area or the sh >> I'm sorry. Say that again. >> Wildlife

corridors in the area. And >> this is not the agenda item for wildlife corridors. That is probably why it's not being discussed. >> We are we keep building up towards what could be those ma'am. And

that's why I wanted to at least put it out there for a discussion item for the leadership to consider. Obviously, I want to get homes built, too. We want to grow. At the same time, I'm just saying

Kyle Canyon Road is a special place. And um I've led many trips up there and spent thousand thousand plus hours of my life up that way. And um I'd love to see, you know, some more uh attention paid to

how um we can prevent the sheep from being helicoptered out from areas they're dying in and starving in. So, I just, you know, want to talk about that a little bit. Thank you very much for hearing me.

>> Thank you. Thank you very much. Is there anyone else wishing to be heard on this item? Seeing none, I will close the public hearing. Um, are there any questions or comments from council members?

Seeing no one else, Miss Brunie. >> Thank you. I'd like to make a motion to approve item number 69 20- 26-0378, items A through E. >> Thank you so much. There's a motion. Please vote. Post. Motion

carries. Thank you. Agenda item 70 26-0379 on the following land use entitlement project request on 15.04 acres on the southeast corner of Kyle Canyon Road and Sheep Mountain Parkway. 78 26-0379-GPA1

>> Thank you so much. May I have a staff report, please? >> Yes, Mayor Seth Floyd. For the record, the proposed general plan designation and zoning designation are consistent with residential

densities in the area and therefore staff recommends approval of those requests. However, the requested variances for ungated private streets, connectivity ratio, and perimeter wall heights have been

determined to be self-imposed hardships and therefore staff recommends denial of the variances intended map. Thank you. Thank you so much. Is there anyone wishing to be heard on this item? Seeing no

guys, madame mayor and council. Thank you guys for your servant leadership to our city and navigating these difficult times that we're in. Um yeah, we continue to uh minister in the community. We're

we're still um uh adamant about building on that property. Um we just recently had a an amazing time at the budget suites down the streets. That's one of the places that we do multiple things. Uh

where Pastor Richard here is going to share a little bit more about what we do in the community there. So uh we're continuing to invest uh in the community. Uh we're continuing to raise funds uh for

the property. We did receive a substantial donation this year. That's really gotten us a lot further along in in what our goals are, but uh uh we do see ourselves uh uh still involved in the community

and we are uh looking at different ways to be uh have a bigger impact in the community with uh the property that we have. And so we're still committed and uh we think we're very close to uh getting to

that point. Uh we're just not quite there yet, but we're we're getting there. and we don't think it'll be very long. >> Thank you so much. Pastor, did you wish to >> Yes. Richard Ferris also with

Living Grace forcore church. Um we continue to serve as Pastor Richie said in the community. We we're engaged in the Redberry Project where we've worked with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police in in

helping to curb crime and working there with multiple other church houses there. We continue to serve in Westcare which is a rehabilitation place for women and we continue to serve there on a regular

basis. We have chaplain in hospitals and hospices throughout the uh the city as well as chaplaining at uh UNLV. Uh we continue to partner with uh uh Hope House which is a re-entry program for men who

have um been on extended leave somewhere else. Um, we, as Pastor Richie said, uh, participate in budget suites. We also participate, not just locally, but globally in disaster relief around the world.

Um, I just came back from Panama serving there for two weeks uh, in earthquake relief. And so, we believe we're good stewards and and good citizens. We continue to work with the community, the

neighborhood that is around us. Um and uh though some were enemies of us to begin with are now our friends because we've proven to them that we are going to do what we say we're going to do. And so um

we just hope that you will this is our third uh third extension. Um we hope it's our last extension because [laughter] we want to be building our project. >> Thank you so much passengers. I appreciate

it. May I have a staff report please? >> Thank you Madame Mayor Fred Solis for the record. There has been no activity in regard to civil plan reviews and/or building permit application since the last

extension of time was granted in 2024. Due to the lack of progress and the site remaining vacant and stagnant for six years since the entitlements were originally granted in 2020, staff is

recommending denial of both requests. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Are there any questions or comments from the council members? Seeing none, um is there a motion? Councilwoman Summers Armstrong.

>> Thank you, Madam Mayor. I just have a quick question. Um, for staff, this is asking for a two-year extension. >> Um, Madame Mayor, through you, that is correct. Through 2028. >> Okay. Um, I am

tempted to ask for just one year, but I know how hard this is to get these things done. and we really would like to see something on that property. But we'll I'll I'll make a motion for the two-year

extension. And I wish you all the best and thank you for the work that you're doing in Redberry. Um the work that you're doing at Rancho and uh Smoke Ranch at the um >> Suites, >> the the suites. It's

really really helpful for the folks who live there. Um >> we just that it it doesn't look good to have an empty lot. you know that we're trying to we're trying to infill and and bring things up uh in

the community. It always helps. Um you also might want to um have a chat with our um economic development folks. We just had a summit for faith leaders. I believe you all were invited. you're outside

of the RDA, but um the training that is offered might be helpful to you all as you move forward in development and giving you ideas about what can you do that can be um not just your house of worship

but maybe impactful in a different way in the community. Um, so you might want to consider just reaching out to our um our EDUD department to just get some ideas and maybe even participate in the

training. So with that, Madame Mayor, I make a motion for approval. >> There's a motion on the table. Please vote. Motion passes. Thank you so much. >> Thank you very much. Thank you. Agenda item 72

26-0415-s1 special use permit applicant Yangar Foods LLC owner Rainbow Plaza Enterprises LLC for possible action on a land use entitlement project request for a proposed 2800 square foot alcohol on

premise full use at 2341 North Rainbow Boulevard C1 Limited commercial zone ward 5 Miss Summers Armstrong planning commission and staff recommend approval subject to conditions. This is a public

hearing that I now declare open. Is the applicant present? >> Welcome. Please state your name and tell us about your project. >> My name is Ricardo Janes. I'm the owner of the restaurant and I'm just

asking for u the ability to sell alcohol in my restaurant. Okay. May I have a staff report? >> Yes. Thank you, Mayor Seth Floyd. For the record, the subject site is located within an existing shopping

center. Therefore, there's an ample amount of parking spaces provided throughout. The proposed use is consistent with the uses allowed in in the C1 limited commercial zoning district and can be

conducted in a compatible and harmonious manner with the surrounding land uses. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the special use permit request subject to conditions. Thank you. >> Thank you so

much. Uh this is a public hearing. Is there anybody wishing to be heard on this item? >> Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing. Uh you agree to all the conditions? >> Yes. >> Or whatever

conditions have been suggested by staff. >> Yes. >> All right. Thank you very much. Are there any questions or comments from council members? Seeing none, Miss Summers Armstrong. >> Thank you, Madame

Mayor. Um, it's my understanding that you have one other location that has liquor, but you've only had that. It's a temporary or provisional right now. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> Okay. Um, I I

think I'd like to um add a condition that we revisit this in one year. By the time that one year comes, you will have had two years of the county and a track record. um and so that we can see how

things work out for you. Um you've been here a long time and you heard some of the previous testimony that happened and other issues and other items. Um having liquor in an establishment brings other

issues and I'd like to just have a review of how things go with you and the county over a two-year period um before we make this an absolute permanent thing. Would you agree with that? >> Um yeah. No,

that that's fine. So, will I be able to sell liquor at this location? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Great. >> And we'll just review it um administratively in a year and look at your track record at the county.

>> Yeah, I' I've been at this location for 10 years now. Um and it's uh it's been working just fine. We haven't had any issues with, you know, crime in the restaurant or in the business. So, I'm

thinking it should work out. >> Okay. I appreciate that. All right. staff do you need to >> I'd entertain a motion. I think they have to add. >> Yeah, madame. Three years. So, the condition will read,

"An administrative required review is required one year from the date of license issuance." >> And you agree to the condition? >> Yes. >> All right. With that condition, may I have a motion? >> So

moved, ma'am, for approval. >> Please vote. Post. Motion carries. Congratulations. Best of luck. >> Thank you, mayor. Agenda item 73 26-0418- on the following land use entitlement project request on

2.63 63 acres at the northeast corner of Trails End Avenue and Alpine Ridgeway 73A 26-0418-GPA1 from PCD Plan Community Development to MLA medium lowdensity residential attached 73B 26-0418-1 from

Udeveloped to RTH single Single family attached 73 C26-0418-V1 to allow private gated streets that do not conform to title 19.04 complete street standards 73D 26-0418-V2 to allow paro proposed

perimeter walls that do not conform with title 19.6 6 uh.06 19.06 height development standards 73E 26-0418-TMP1 for a proposed 25 lot single family residential attach subdivision. The applicant is

Contour Builders LLC. The owner is B-Sswde LLC. The planning commission recommends approval on the entire land use entitlement project. Staff recommends approval on 26-0418, GPA1 and Z1 and denial on

26-0418, VR1, VR2, and TMP1. These are in Ward 6. Miss Brunie, they're public hearings which I now declare open. Is the applicant present? >> Yes. Good afternoon, Madame Mayor, members of the council.

Mark Maulhal, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive here on behalf of the applicant, Contour Homes. Um, we were before you all back in May of 2020 for the site just west of this site. The new site was under

different private ownership. Um, so it's just over two and a half acres up in the Kyle Canyon Gateway area, um, just east of Alpine Ridge. So, this is kind of viewed as a phase two east of the

previously approved project. And just to kind of put that into perspective, previously the site was approved for 76 town home units. Now, we're proposing 25 town home units. Same product, um, same

design that was approved before. We are complying with the landscape standards that were requested by the planning commission. Um the application is substantially similar again to what was approved

just west in May of this year. Um the retaining wall just exists on that northeastern portion of the site. It's necessary for drainage. It's BLM land to the north of us and so it will not be adjacent

to any right of way. So happy to answer any questions that you all may have. >> Thank you so much. May I have a staff report? >> Uh thank you, Madam Mayor. Fred Solis for the record. Uh the proposed

MLA journal plan designation and RTH zoning designation are consistent with the approved residential density in this area along Alpine Ridge and therefore staff recommends approval of these requests.

However, the requested variances of complete street standards and perimeter wall heights have been determined to be self-imposed hardships and therefore staff recommends denial of the variances

intended on map. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Is there anyone wishing to be heard on this agenda item? Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing. Are there any questions or comments from

council members? Seeing none. >> Thank you, mayor. I'd like to make a motion to approve item number 7326-0418, items A through E. Thank you. >> Thank you so much, Miss Brunie. Um, there's a motion on

the table. Please vote. Post. Motion carries. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. Have a great day. Thank you. Agenda item 74, set date on any appeals filed or required public hearings. I would instruct

the city clerk to set the public hearing dates and appeals from the city planning commission meetings and dangerous buildings or nuisance litter abatements. >> We'll do. Thank you. >> Thank you so

much. Citizens participation agenda item 75. Citizens participation. Public comment during this portion of the agenda must be limited to matters within the jurisdiction of the city council. No subject

may be acted upon by the city council unless that subject is on the agenda and is scheduled for action. If you wish to be heard, come to the podium, give your name for the record. The amount of

discussion on any single subject as well as amount of time any single speak speaker may speak is limited to two minutes. This is your opportunity to address the council. Council is not able to respond

or engage in dialogue. Are there any members of the public who wish to speak under this portion of the agenda? Welcome. This is an appropriate time to speak. >> Thank you very much, Mayor Berkeley and

esteemed members of the council. Eric King, longtime resident. Um, I did want to uh hopefully reframe a little bit about where I'm coming to some immediacy on wanting to talk about uh pointed elements

of how we build out um irretrievable raw land uh for potential higher and better uses for overall growth and improvement of quality of life. So, um I mentioned before in public meetings about uh

potential wildlife corridor or corridors. Um I haven't heard much talk about that in my world uh which I have not been going to all the meetings I used to um years ago. But um uh I really believe that

uh in the Kyle Canyon area uh the Lam Madre Mountain Foothills area that >> [snorts] >> uh the very strident growth that's happening here in our valley that um those are really key places to support

uh refugeia which uh are known uh in the wildlife circles as places that wildlife goes when things burn where they live. Uh we don't have a lot to burn here. In fact, you go up Kyle Canyon Road and

there's a lots burned already there. If you go over the ridge, you'll see everything's burned. That was 38,000 acres uh that burned Carpenter one fire about 15 years ago. Confilgration that nearly

destroyed all the homes up there too. So um to prevent against that creating these kind of refugeia and really creating dialogue that's welcoming to the wisdom say 100redyear type wisdom planning

wisdom um I think is is certainly worthwhile and I think worthwhile for very wealthy people who are going to get wealthier as we build out town to also hear and maybe have their heartstrings pulled a

little bit which would matter a lot to the sheep that are being helicoptered out. Thank you. >> Thank you so very much. Is there anyone else that wishes to address the city council? >> Welcome and

please state your name. >> Good afternoon, madame mayor and members of the city council. My name is Lana Clark, gentle lady from San Diego and longtime resident of Las Vegas. So October was domestic

violence awareness month. And while that month has come to an end, the crisis on our street has not. Public safety in Las Vegas and the surrounding cities demands an urgent response. Our youth are

turning to gun violence. All across America, parents are continuing to bury their children. When our young people turn to violence, we have to look at the lack of support, safety, and stability

surrounding them. We cannot continue reacting only after tragedy strikes. True public safety must prioritize proactive prevention, not just reactive enforcement. So, there was a blue wave last night.

Congratulations to the Democrats. Um, they once ran me out of the country to claim political asylum. But my my message today is to both Republicans and Democrats. Stop using our children as political

pawns. Our children deserve better. Our family deserves better and public safety must include prevention. So, I don't have an axe today because I've been asking, I've been crying, I've been begging

for safety and help for the last six years. I'm just here to simply say I'm I'm going to keep showing up. I'm going to continue to hold my leaders responsible and take whatever necessary steps that I

have to take to continue exposing what I've experienced in the city of Las Vegas. Thank you and God bless you. >> Thank you so much. Is there anybody else wishing to uh address the council under this

agenda item? Welcome. And please state your name for the record. You have two minutes. >> Perfect. Hey, I want to uh display a video here if I could. >> Election night. Joe Lombardo's party. Security

kicks Phil and the homies the out. >> Hey, you too. Hey, we just got kicked out of Joe Lombardo's uh ass campaign >> for exercising our first amendment right to record a weak ass party. This shirt

causes so much confusion in Las Vegas that >> can't stop the rain, brother. It's It's already done. >> Joe Lombardo kicked us out. It's all good. >> I want y'all to stop playing with me. That's what

the I want. >> It's the shirt. It's the shirt. It's the shirt. So, can I come here and gamble tomorrow? >> Yeah. >> Oh, okay. >> All right. Cool. Cool. Cool. >> Hi, Las Vegas City Council. I'm Roman.

Please follow Las Vegas Corruption Live and Oath Knockers on Tik Tok and Facebook. On election night, Phil and the homies got kicked out of Joe Lombardo's party. The suspected weapon, a t-shirt. And

this is probably why. Exhibit A. June 2025. Phil goes to Metro to file a misconduct complaint on courthouse marshals. Minutes after he leaves, Metro pulls him over for expired registration. Phil

counted seven officers. A hockey team only needs six. Don't mess [snorts] with my phone. Don't touch my phone. >> It's hot out here. >> Yeah. DON'T TOUCH MY PHONE. DON'T TOUCH MY PHONE. >> All charges

dropped. Exhibit B. Phil misses a traffic court date in February. Nothing happens for 91 days. Then May 13th, he asks for courtroom video. Next morning, 8:11 a.m. Warrant. May 20th, he stands at this

podium and talks about Sergeant Spies. 2 days later, he's arrested at the courthouse. Phil says Sergeant Spies brought the officers. Exhibit C, August. Phil is arrested on a suspended license, plus

other charges. Then the DMV on Joe Lombardo's own letterhead says that license should not have been shown suspended because the court didn't send the paperwork. The city's response, quote, does not

establish negligence by the city. So, council, municipal court is your court. 91 days to issue a warrant, 90 days to send a clearance. Please find out why. Final score, the t-shirt one. Joe Lombardo

zero. >> Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Is there anybody else wishing to address the city council? Seeing no one, we will move on to agenda item 76, council emerging issues. Discussion regarding

potential items for future city council agendas or awards. Any discussion must be limited to whether or not such proposed item shall be placed on a future agenda and no discussion regarding the

substance of any proposed topic shall occur. No action shall be taken. Do any members of the council have any topics that they would like to bring forward under this item? Seeing no one, we will move

on to our final item, agenda item 77, council members recognition. Comments made by individual city council members during this portion of the agenda will not be acted upon by the city council unless

that subject is on the agenda and scheduled for action. Miss Kelly, given the fact this is your last meeting, why don't you start us out? >> Um, I'm going to mimic excellent behavior today. I have no

report, ma'am. I just want to again express my appreciation uh and my um um just thrilled at having this opportunity. Thank you. >> Thank you so much, Mayor Pro Tim. >> Thank you, Madam Mayor. I know

we've had a long meeting, so I just have a few public service announcements. The first one is from the Southern Nevada Water Authority. It's time of the year for us to set our irrigation clocks to

water once a week. So, um, that's that PSA. And then also, do you know of a student interested in shaping the future of water in our region while earning community service hours? Want to just, uh,

highlight that there is a youth conservation council and there's the QR code by which the youth in our community can learn more to be part of that very engaging and illuminating group of um, youth

that I've had the privilege to hear them present. once they learn a lot about water conservation measures and the importance in southern Nevada. Moving on to the next slide, we have the W 3 senior

Las Vegas Community Center, 250 Nor Eastern from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. or while supplies last. And it will be drive-thru style. It will hearken us to the days of COVID when we were in masks, but uh

thankfully hopefully we don't have to be wearing them unless we're coming down with something. But um we just want to make sure that you know there's one vehicle per household. Everyone remains in

their car and just have the cargo area clear so that we can load the food into their car and they can be off with their um holiday meal. On uh the last announcement I have for today is just to save
