Our employees strive to meet our values of being kind, committed and 59 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:56,000 smart. and they work to build our community to make life better. I am so 60 00:08:53,920 --> 00:09:02,401 proud to announce that the employee of the month is Nick Gonzalez. Nick, would 61 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:02,401 you please join us? [applause] 62 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:17,680 Congratulations. [applause] Nick is a code enforcement officer and 63 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:22,160 he has been with the city since 2016. As a code enforcement officer, Nick is 64 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,320 always out in the community working closely with the public. Our code 65 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:34,560 enforcement officers are some of the city employees most in contact with our 66 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:39,600 public. On April 29th, 2025, Nick was flagged down by a person while on his 67 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:45,839 way to a call. The resident told Nick that there was an individual nearby who 68 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:50,480 was unconscious. Nick quickly called 911 and then went to check on the individual 69 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:55,760 to see if he could render aid. Nick found an unconscious individual who was 70 00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:01,920 not breathing. Nick immediately began CPR and was able to revive revive the 71 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:06,240 resident. Las Vegas Fire and Rescue soon arrived and took over treatment and got 72 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:10,480 the resident to the hospital. Nick likely saved this individual's life and 73 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:15,762 we want to thank him for his quick thinking in an emergency situation. 74 00:10:13,742 --> 00:10:15,762 » [applause] 75 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:27,519 » Nick, everyone that knows you knows you maintain a positive attitude and 76 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:32,959 exemplifies our values of kind, committed, and smart. Nick, thank you 77 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:37,200 for so much for helping a fellow resident and for being an amazing 78 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:41,440 representative of the city of Las Vegas. And now I'd like to give Seth an 79 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:45,200 opportunity to say a few words and then we'll hear from Nick and have a photo. 80 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,920 Seth. >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh Seth Floyd, 81 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,040 executive director of community development. And I see that Nick has a 82 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,680 notebook, so I'm assuming he has notes, so I don't want to steal 83 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:03,600 » We'll see. U But when I first heard this story, I I'll be I was not surprised 84 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,720 that someone in code enforcement would take the initiative to resolve whatever 85 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:09,680 was in front of them. One thing I learned when I took over code 86 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,600 enforcement is that they're on the front lines of a lot of things. They see a lot 87 00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:17,519 of different issues. They have to go into people's on people's property. They 88 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,720 are the front lines of customer service, but when there's an emergency, they're 89 00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:23,680 also on the front lines of that, too. And I think what we hope and expect all 90 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,640 of our employees to do is that we will respond and that we'll provide that high 91 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,320 level of service like Nick did. Now, hopefully none of us have to be in that 92 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,959 situation very often. Uh, but I'm glad that Nick responded the way that he did. 93 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,519 And like I said, I wasn't surprised. I want to acknowledge a few people. Would 94 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,519 the code enforcement team stand up? 95 00:11:37,582 --> 00:11:39,602 » [applause] 96 00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:47,920 [applause] >> and for the council. These are the folks 97 00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:51,200 who are out there doing this work uh on a daily basis. So, I appreciate that. 98 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,560 And I know Nick's family is here. Nick Nick has very good genans, so it's not 99 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,680 really a surprise that Nick is in this role. Nick's mom and dad both were city 100 00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:00,800 employees. >> Awesome. 101 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,920 » Uh his dad, what? Public works. Is that right? Public works. And his mom when I 102 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,760 started here was our HR rep for community development. So, she guided me 103 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:11,440 through my first few uh interviews and did an outstanding job and retired 104 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:15,440 recently. So, Nick, thank you very much. Uh you you certainly do embody the the 105 00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:18,800 values we have of being kind, committed, and smart. I know you have a team behind 106 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:24,959 you, but let me turn it over to you and you can go through your your notebook. 107 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:30,720 » Thank you. [applause] Thank you, Madam Mayor, and and council. 108 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,560 Um, I would just like to start by thanking God for blessing me with an 109 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:39,200 amazing job where I am able to serve the community I have called home my entire 110 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,160 life. It's been about six and a half years since I had the honor of standing 111 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:46,639 at this podium to receive this recognition and I am extremely grateful 112 00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:50,320 today to have the opportunity again because it enables me to share a little 113 00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:54,639 bit of what code enforcement does for the city of Las Vegas. 114 00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:59,279 I work alongside a staff of highly talented individuals who on a daily 115 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:03,040 basis exemplify the city's core values of being kind, committed, and smart. In 116 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:07,279 these past six and a half years, I have learned so much. I've built professional 117 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,959 relationships internally and externally across the jurisdiction. And if there is 118 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:15,519 one thing I have found to be constant and true, it's that code enforcement is 119 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:19,440 a team effort. And without my team, I can't do my job. 120 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:23,040 Though I was alone that day when someone needed help, I know that anyone else on 121 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:27,200 my team would have done the same thing. Because that's what we do at code 122 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:31,519 enforcement. We rise to the occasion. We adapt. We wear many hats and fill many 123 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:36,480 shoes needed to fulfill the many duties and obligations we have in order to 124 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:41,519 serve this community. Some days we are a counselor mediating a civil matter for 125 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:45,600 residents. Some days we are field inspectors investigating safety hazards 126 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,880 and community concerns. and others were an open ear to listen to a citizen who 127 00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:53,279 just wants to share their thoughts and opinion. And like me that day, we are 128 00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:57,920 even emergency medical service for someone truly in need. I wanted to try 129 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:01,440 and keep this short and so before I close, I would like to share a quote I 130 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:05,199 came across that continues to resonate with me every day. This quote is by the 131 00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:10,720 famous reformed convict and now successful actor, philanthropist, and 132 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:15,120 advocate Danny Tjo. Everything good that has ever happened to me has happened as 133 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:18,880 a direct result of helping someone else. Thank you to my parents who continue to 134 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:23,199 support and encourage me to grow. Thank you to the city of Las Vegas for making 135 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:26,720 our home so great. Thank you to my department of community development. 136 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Thank you to my manager, supervisors, and support staff. And most importantly, 137 00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:39,279 thank you to my team of code enforcement officers. This one's for us. [applause] 138 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:43,360 » Thank you.

Why don't we come and 140 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:51,720 get a picture? >> Yes.

Why you got to be so generous? [laughter] 149 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,351 Congratulations.

We are 349 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:53,680 contributing $1 million towards the construction uh of the tenant 350 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:57,599 improvements. Um, obviously Miss Ellie is going to be investing a lot more than 351 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:03,280 a million. This is just a portion to help her uh with some of the costs. Um, 352 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:07,119 and then the $300,000 out of that $1 million is going to be amortized over 353 00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:12,720 the lease term and paid back to the redevelopment agency. I do want to 354 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:16,400 mention that the um the the reimbursement is what it is. It is. It's 355 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:21,440 reimbursement. So, we're not fronting the money. Uh, it's going to be as 356 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:24,480 construction costs incur. So with that, I'm going to back up three slides 357 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:28,320 because it's all about the restaurant really and let Elliot talk about that. 358 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:33,359 » Okay, welcome. >> Thank you and thank you so much for 359 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:36,800 considering this project. It is very exciting for me to be here. It is very 360 00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:41,440 exciting for me to have the opportunity to open here in the city of Las Vegas. I 361 00:37:39,359 --> 00:37:46,000 am originally from Mexico City. My family is Lebanese and I came here years 362 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:49,760 ago an American citizen and I take religions very seriously. I love being 363 00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:53,599 an American and I love this city. I lived all over the world and there's 364 00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:58,800 something about Las Vegas that since I came 2006 with the chef of the century 365 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:03,680 to open his restaurants at the MGM Grand, something happened in this city 366 00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:09,040 and and it's a city that I feel is to serve others. That's what that what hit 367 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:13,680 me. We're here to make people happy, to entertain them. People already come here 368 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:18,421 with an expectation to have fun and here we are just to be like here it is. So, 369 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:22,400 it's been a pleasure for me as as [clears throat] a chef to have the 370 00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:28,240 opportunity to be a chef in this city. We have the availability of fish, meat, 371 00:38:25,359 --> 00:38:32,880 produce, everything is just so magical as a chef. Everything's here. And I like 372 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:37,359 to believe that us chefs, we're just the middle point be between like the raw 373 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:40,800 nature and the dish, right? It's not about us. First of all, it's about the 374 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,960 guest and it's about the product. So, we're just there to be the middleman to 375 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:48,240 enhance it and to serve you, right? We're in a position of service and 376 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,960 that's the most important thing that I believe as a chef. We're not 377 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:55,920 celebrities. It's not about us. It's about you the guest and making us making 378 00:38:52,880 --> 00:39:00,960 you happy. So, um I've had other restaurants, but Boom Bankang, it's been 379 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:06,720 my main uh success. Boom. Fine foods and cocktails in Henderson, we do very well. 380 00:39:03,839 --> 00:39:10,960 We serve our community. It's a I would like to call it an American brasserie. 381 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:16,400 So, it's not ultra fine dining, but it's also not a diner, right? Like you can 382 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:23,680 have anything from corn dogs to pizza to a beautiful short rib caviar. We have it 383 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:26,880 all. And our prices are really avail it's it's there's a little bit for 384 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:31,520 everyone. We have we're known for our happy hour. We're in the best happy 385 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:36,079 hours all over. Honestly, we've been very lucky. We've been in every major 386 00:39:33,747 --> 00:39:41,040 [clears throat] publication as top 14 beautiful restaurants, best five chefs 387 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:44,900 in Nevada. It's it's just been a blessing from God. But I believe it's 388 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:48,720 because me and my team are focused [clears throat] 389 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:54,480 in serving, right? It's about you, the guest. So this the the project here in 390 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:59,040 downtown is I like to think of Boom Bang Henderson like the woman. This will be a 391 00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:02,720 male the like, you know, I always like to feel like the restaurant has to be 392 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:08,720 there's something about it. So it's going to be a little bit more masculine. 393 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:14,400 Um super welcoming. Big big bar. We have a craft cocktail program that uh my 394 00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:18,800 friend Julian put in place. He's the one of the top five mixologists in the 395 00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:22,160 country. And my bartenders have just carried on everything they've learned. 396 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:26,640 And like I said, we keep on winning awards about our cocktails, our service, 397 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:31,599 our happy hour. So, it's going to be a heavy, beautiful craft cocktail program. 398 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:35,760 We juice everything in house at Boom Bang. Nothing comes from a bottle. Every 399 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:42,400 single fruit, everything that's used is juiced. Um, also my food, it's all 400 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:47,040 around um, grass-fed, antibiotic free, organic, every product, every meat, 401 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:53,359 every protein we serve, it's clean. And I make sure as a chef that I visit the 402 00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:57,359 farm where it comes from. And I make the trip to I've been to everywhere like 403 00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:01,520 River Creek, Iowa, and and I make sure that it's not just as Logan, but and and 404 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,640 some of them don't even have the brand organic, but they're doing everything. 405 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:09,040 they just can't get the stump because their fence is missing two inches. So, I 406 00:41:07,359 --> 00:41:13,040 do my research as a chef to be responsible so that I'm supporting the 407 00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:16,079 right farmers and the right growers. And that's what we're serving at Boom 408 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:20,720 Bankang. Everything is made from scratch. Our bread, our pizza, our 409 00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:24,640 sauces, everything's made in house. And I have had the honor to me, it's really 410 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:28,960 an honor to have the same team that I've had since day one. I was even audited 411 00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:33,119 from the Department of Employment about it because they say that doesn't exist 412 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:36,319 in the restaurant business. And we do I have the same team since day one. It's a 413 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:41,440 family. We all work together. And that's the same thing I want to see here. I 414 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:47,200 wanna I want to build a second family. So to serve you. Um so like I said, 415 00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:50,880 we're going to be open for well I haven't said this. We're going to be 416 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:55,680 open for lunch and dinner. Um I think my main goal for now, let's see in the 417 00:41:52,560 --> 00:42:00,079 future is lunch because I see all you um and everything that's around us. So, 418 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:03,680 we'll we'll have different price points, but I want to have something like I know 419 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:07,359 you guys have an hour to eat. A lot of people just have 45 minutes. Something 420 00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:13,040 like a formula like you get your soup, mane, and dessert for I don't know $39 421 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:18,480 or maybe less and get it quick in and out. Thank you. And then maybe 422 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:23,040 » yes, different like price, small menus. Of course, every other thing will be 423 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:27,839 available. And then like I would like to open for dinner with a heavier more 424 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,400 » masculine >> decadent [laughter] 425 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:36,800 » decad >> menu. Um yes. Uh I don't know what else. 426 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:41,040 » No that's plenty. You have really defined this beautifully and we 427 00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:46,720 appreciate it. Is there anybody else that wishes to speak on this item? 428 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:52,560 Seeing none, I'd like to close the public meeting. Are there any questions 429 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:59,520 or comments from the council members? Okay, lovely. Uh, no action is required 430 00:42:55,839 --> 00:43:05,040 on item 37. Is there a motion on related item 36? Councilwoman Diaz. 431 00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:08,319 » Thank you, Madame Mayor, and um, welcome to the city of Las Vegas.

I 438 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:42,720 mean, I'm hoping that as soon as it gets approved and signed, I know there's like 439 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:47,440 a little bit about permits, like for example, the architect needs to get his 440 00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:50,400 stamp, but I I I according to my contractor, which I've worked with in my 441 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:56,560 other project, so I trust him because sometimes um I believe we can be done in 442 00:43:54,720 --> 00:44:00,319 six to eight months. >> Okay. So, by the end of the year. 443 00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:05,119 » Yes, I'm really hoping that is a great season to open with a party and New 444 00:44:02,319 --> 00:44:09,920 Year's and all that fun stuff.

These are 519 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:07,599 in Ward Five, Miss Summers Armstrong, and our public hearings, which I now 520 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:11,760 declare open. Is the applicant present? I am. Good morning, mayor, members of 521 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:16,559 council. Stephanie Gronower, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive here on behalf of 522 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:20,960 the applicant, Lenar Homes. We're very excited to be here today with um what we 523 00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:26,319 believe to be a hopefully catalyst project in the downtown area with over a 524 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:30,640 thousand new forale homes for the residents in that ward and hopefully 525 00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:36,160 people who want to move to the downtown area. The goal is to make these thousand 526 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:39,920 homes um hopefully the most attainable homes in our valley or at least some of 527 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:44,800 the most attainable homes price point-wise in our valley. So, we're 528 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:49,359 really excited to present this. Before I do that though, though, I do want to say 529 00:51:46,559 --> 00:51:54,960 some thank yous. Um the councilwoman, we really appreciate all of her vision and 530 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:59,520 direction for this project. Um, I know this is near and dear to her heart and 531 00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:04,400 going to very much change her her ward. So, we appreciate her direction and her 532 00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:07,760 working with us. Also, Mike Jansen is your fearless leader who's phenomenal 533 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:11,680 and this project wouldn't have been here without his vision. So, 534 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:16,000 » we're going to keep him. [laughter] >> We appreciate we very much appreciate 535 00:52:13,839 --> 00:52:20,559 Mike and his staff. Dina Babsky is amazing. We're continuing to work with 536 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:25,680 her on um some subsequent applications. You'll see um also the planning 537 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:30,559 department, Seth, Peter and all of their team, public works, um Joey, Lucian and 538 00:52:28,559 --> 00:52:34,160 their team, the fire department, your city attorney. It's been a real team 539 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:38,559 effort to get to this point, a little bit over a year, I believe. And so, I 540 00:52:35,839 --> 00:52:41,839 just want to very much thank them for um their recommendation of approval, but 541 00:52:40,079 --> 00:52:46,319 also all the work and energy that went into this project. So, with that said, 542 00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:52,400 um just first I want to orient you to where we're at because this is a real 543 00:52:48,079 --> 00:52:56,079 significant um acreage wise uh project. So, if I could uh just to direct your 544 00:52:54,319 --> 00:53:00,960 attention to the overhead. Hopefully, you can see both of these. 545 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:05,520 There we go. Maybe just zoom out a little. There we 546 00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:09,920 go. Uh on the south portion, this is what you all know as the foreman former 547 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:14,319 Cachman baseball field. So, this is a little over 50 acres of property. You 548 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:19,440 can see in yellow it's on the south side of Washington Avenue on the east side of 549 00:53:16,559 --> 00:53:23,839 Las Vegas Boulevard and then Maryland is to the to the south side of the pro 550 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:27,119 property. I wanted to show you both because they're across the street from 551 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:31,920 one another. So this is the former Grant Sawyer property that was used for state 552 00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:36,160 office buildings for years and has sat vacant for quite some time currently 553 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:41,040 owned by the state of Nevada. This is a little over 22 acres. Um and that is the 554 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:44,800 other portion. So, we're looking at about 70 acres of land that will be 555 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:49,920 redeveloped and as I mentioned, hopefully be a catalyst to everything in 556 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:53,520 this area for future things to come. I'm going to go a little out of order and 557 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:58,640 start with Cashman. Um, it's just a little bigger project. So, um, for 558 00:53:55,599 --> 00:54:04,240 Cashman, both applications are basically the same. There's a GPA to change it 559 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:08,720 actually that was reduced from the GPA to high to a GPA to medium. So, I want 560 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:13,119 to make sure that's on the record. Also, there's a zone change for both 561 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:16,640 properties to R3 zoning. Um, they both have development agreements attached to 562 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:22,480 them and mostly it's because we really do have some really unique urban uh 563 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:25,440 product type that needed some specific development standards and design 564 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:29,119 guidelines. So, those are attached to the development agreements for both of 565 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:34,000 those properties. And then we've got tenative maps. So once if hopefully this 566 00:54:31,839 --> 00:54:38,319 is approved today, the maps uh will be ready and LAR will be able to close on 567 00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:42,880 the property and then start development. There's also a vacation application um 568 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:46,800 that sometimes can be of concerns to neighbors because they think a street is 569 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:51,599 getting vacated. That's not the case. Um it's just simply there's excess rightway 570 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:56,240 on this area here at Maryland Parkway and then Harris Boulevard. Um so it's a 571 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:59,599 it's a kind of a cleanup item that public works and and us worked on. So I 572 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:05,040 just wanted to make sure everyone understood that application. 573 00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:09,440 So for Cashman, this is the concept. I'm starting with the fun pictures because I 574 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:13,359 think that's the exciting part. So Cashman has a typo. This is not 575 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:18,240 Cashman's plural and it will not be the name of the community. It's a concept. 576 00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:22,880 Um but certainly a very very cool concept. You can see here with sort of a 577 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:27,599 mid-century look to the community. This will be the main entrance point at 578 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:31,920 Washington Avenue where you have a gated entry both ingress and egress and then 579 00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:35,760 you'll see some kind of entry feature there that will um I'm sure Lenar will 580 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:40,160 come up with something creative to capture the history and um and 581 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:44,720 significance of this property. You can see beautiful fencing and gate gated 582 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:49,200 entry that will be there. Something similar I will show you for Grant Sawyer 583 00:55:47,119 --> 00:55:53,119 which the entryways are right across the street for each other from each other. 584 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:58,160 So, it'll be a really nice uh visual along Washington. 585 00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:02,799 This is the landscape plan for Cachman. So, you can see I was just referencing 586 00:55:59,839 --> 00:56:08,000 that main entry off of Washington. There's also another gated ingress and 587 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:13,680 egress off of Maryland Parkway. And then there's an emergency and an exit only um 588 00:56:11,839 --> 00:56:18,559 a little bit further west on Maryland. And there's already a condition in your 589 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:23,520 um backup that allows for that at exit point for the residents that will be up 590 00:56:20,799 --> 00:56:28,640 here in this area along the south. You'll see in pink here, this is 2.6 591 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:32,160 acres that's going to be reserved for a future commercial commercial 592 00:56:30,079 --> 00:56:36,480 development. we have to parcel it off and then we will sell it to a commercial 593 00:56:34,799 --> 00:56:40,559 developer or maybe your redevelopment agency if they're interested for 594 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:45,920 something really unique and hopefully spectacular along Las Vegas Boulevard in 595 00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:52,240 between the natural history museum and the Neon uh park if if they stay there 596 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:55,920 and again hopefully to service the area from a commercial standpoint. There's 597 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:58,799 obviously a need down there for these thousand plus homes that are coming as 598 00:56:57,829 --> 00:57:03,200 [clears throat] well as the residents that exist uh in the area today. So 599 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:07,760 that'll be an an exciting component of this. Also, when you drive in, you'll 600 00:57:06,079 --> 00:57:12,240 see the amenity area right when you drive in. So there's about an acre of 601 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:17,839 open space on this. Um this will have a pool with some cabanas, a play structure 602 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:22,720 with tots, a really great trail that's along this fault line, and significant 603 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:27,040 elevation grade. I know you've all been out to Cashman Field. There's that huge 604 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:31,520 difference in the parking lots. Um and so that was contemplated in this site 605 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:36,319 plan you can see which will be quite the exercise for residents to have that 606 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:40,640 trail. Um there there's um four different product types along the in the 607 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:45,920 property which makes it a really really great property. But every single unit 608 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:50,880 homeowners will own a plot of land. So um there are detached and attached town 609 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:53,760 homes within this project. And I'm going to just quickly walk you through some of 610 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:58,240 the product types because I do think that's exciting. This uh colored map 611 00:57:56,799 --> 00:58:04,160 shows you the four different product types in their areas. In yellow, this is 612 00:58:01,359 --> 00:58:08,319 the uh excuse [clears throat] me, this is the detached town homes I was 613 00:58:06,319 --> 00:58:12,480 referring to. And I'm going to show you a picture of them quickly just because I 614 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:17,040 I think the elevation is really quite spectacular. It's going to be on both 615 00:58:15,359 --> 00:58:21,359 properties actually. So it'll be on Cashman as well as Grant Sawyer. These 616 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:26,160 are forale town homes, but they are detached. You can see this is an urban 617 00:58:23,839 --> 00:58:30,240 concept, so they are tight. Um, but they do have their own properties without 618 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:33,760 sharing a wall with their neighbors. Um, the way they live and the way these were 619 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:38,720 designed are phenomenal just because you've got um an option for a nextgen on 620 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:43,119 the bottom floor, which is super important in our um economy these days. 621 00:58:41,599 --> 00:58:46,640 There are parents that are living with families or children who can't afford to 622 00:58:44,799 --> 00:58:52,079 buy homes that are living with families. So this um floor plan has an option for 623 00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:56,559 either a tandem garage. Um so you could have a threecar garage here or you can 624 00:58:54,559 --> 00:59:01,280 have that nextgen suite on the bottom floor. So really really special product 625 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:05,680 type. The second floor is your living space with your kitchen, dining, living 626 00:59:03,599 --> 00:59:09,680 area. Also an outdoor deck on the second floor. And then the third floor has your 627 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:17,119 bedrooms and another deck for outdoor space as well. So um this is anywhere 628 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:20,960 from 1705 to 1945. And again, that's um this product type that's in yellow 629 00:59:19,119 --> 00:59:26,160 around the property and then also across the street at Grant Sawyer. The other 630 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:29,920 three colors are all traditional town homes, but they live very differently 631 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:35,440 and uniquely, so people will have lots of options in this area. Um these uh 632 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:39,359 pink ones are basically kind of like condos. They live more like condos. They 633 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:43,520 are threelexes. And this is a rendering of those 634 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:48,960 threelexes. You can see again, three stories um with front doors. They have 635 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:52,960 twocar garages. All of these products have two cars or one cars or tandem. 636 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:57,839 There's a whole bunch of options, but we have lots of parking on the property as 637 00:59:54,880 --> 01:00:03,359 well as for visitors. These are um forplex units in the uh 638 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:08,079 yellow or excuse me, orange. And these um 639 01:00:06,079 --> 01:00:14,559 forplexes live slightly differently. They are rear loaded again with the 640 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:18,559 front entry points um and more long in nature. The you can see that the um pink 641 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:23,040 is a little bit more of a square that lives like a condo. The uh orange live a 642 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:27,920 little bit longer in nature. And then up in the corner um you've got five and 10 643 01:00:25,839 --> 01:00:31,599 plexes. And the councilwoman did ask us to um make some slight revisions which 644 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:35,359 are part of your backup the architectural elevations. These will 645 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:40,319 live like brownstones which if you've been back east they're really cool. Um, 646 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:45,280 so this will be a nice added um, product type to the area. And we've added 647 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:49,040 basically a rod iron stoop, if you will, for lack of a better word, in front of 648 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:53,440 each one of these front doors so that you can distinguish between the front 649 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:57,680 door of each product type. So, um, that's in your backup and already has 650 01:00:55,200 --> 01:01:02,319 been provided to staff showing that, um, amendment that the counciloman asked of 651 01:00:59,599 --> 01:01:06,559 us. From a parking standpoint, I did want to just hit on it quickly because 652 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:15,280 we do have quite a few parking spaces. Um, for Cachman, we have 950 parking 653 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:20,640 spaces on this property for the 781 units and 169 of those are visitor 654 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:24,960 parking. So, we have a lot of parking. You can see in gray here, we've provided 655 01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:28,960 parking areas near the park, extra visitor parking all throughout this 656 01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:33,839 north or southern area. And then you can see the little gray dots are basically 657 01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:37,920 um excess parking, some on the street. Um, there will be no parking allowed on 658 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:42,160 the driveways. There are some five- foot driveways. And so, I know Peter has 659 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:46,799 added a condition that specifically says in the CCNRs we would have a provision 660 01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:49,920 that prohibits parking on those five- foot driveways. But those are all 661 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:54,559 pavered driveways. They're really nice looking, so it'll make the appearance of 662 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:58,640 the front of the homes look very, very nice. 663 01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:02,160 This is the um circulation plan. So you can see lots of walkability through the 664 01:02:00,319 --> 01:02:07,760 site. Hopefully to the future commercial at some point as well. Um 665 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:14,040 and then again the walls. So I think that is Cashman. I will move on to Grant 666 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,040 Sawyer. 667 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:23,359 So again Grant Sawyer is just across the street. Um 22 acres the exact same 668 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:28,079 applications um with the exception of the vacation. 669 01:02:25,359 --> 01:02:32,480 This is the concept for the entry to Grant Sawyer. This is not the name. It 670 01:02:30,319 --> 01:02:36,480 will be some name, but again, this is just to give you a concept of what it 671 01:02:34,319 --> 01:02:41,119 will look out like. Again, a gated entryway that'll be very significant off 672 01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:47,280 of Washington with the amenity about a halfacre pool, clubhouse, um, and tot 673 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:54,000 lot. When I say clubhouse, I mean cabanas, um, tot area in the center of 674 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:58,240 the site right when you pull in. And then this is the landscape plan. 675 01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:02,640 There is a secondary entry on Vision Park Lane. That's the east portion of 676 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:08,480 the property. There will be access to the existing RTC bus stop on Las Vegas 677 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:14,079 Boulevard. Pedestrian access here. Um this is a this lives a little less dense 678 01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:18,079 than Cachman. There is a mix of those detached town homes in the center of the 679 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:22,559 property as I mentioned and then around the perimeter you will have a or 680 01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:26,000 detached single family homes. So, they'll be two-story homes. So, you'll 681 01:03:24,079 --> 01:03:31,440 have a difference in elevation there. Um, those homes are pretty significant 682 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:35,839 in size, about 2,00 to 2400 square ft. Um, detached homes, and it'll just live 683 01:03:34,559 --> 01:03:38,960 a little bit differently, a little bit more like a neighborhood, a little bit 684 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:45,760 more intense across the street at Cachman. Um, again, this this shows you 685 01:03:44,079 --> 01:03:50,319 the difference in the two product types. The blue are that beautiful uh detached 686 01:03:48,319 --> 01:03:55,520 town home I showed you earlier and then the yellow are the single family 687 01:03:52,640 --> 01:04:01,440 detached homes. The elevations for those are here. And again, those are different 688 01:03:58,559 --> 01:04:07,119 sizes and plenty of different options and elevations for that product type as 689 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:11,520 well. So, with that said, I am happy to answer any questions. This is um as I 690 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:15,039 mentioned, really excited to be here. exciting project should be a huge 691 01:04:13,359 --> 01:04:19,119 catalyst to the area and we very much would appreciate your approval. 692 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:23,200 » Thank you so much, Miss Grunau. I think before we have questions, I'm going to 693 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:27,359 ask the staff for their report. >> Thank you, Madam Mayor. Loenstein for 694 01:04:25,359 --> 01:04:31,200 the record. Uh please note there are additional backup materials that include 695 01:04:29,359 --> 01:04:35,440 the justification letter which addresses the amended request from uh on the 696 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:39,440 general plan and resoning for both projects as well as tenative map sheets 697 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:44,559 and building elevations which cover the rot iron uh fencing on the stoops. Uh 698 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:50,319 the proposed changes support the vision of the 2045 downtown master plan uh and 699 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:53,920 will provide some uh future highdensity residential development in a key 700 01:04:51,599 --> 01:04:58,559 redevelopment area. The proposed development agreement conforms with all 701 01:04:55,280 --> 01:05:01,760 the NRS 278 requirements. Uh through the proposed development will be consistent 702 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:05,599 and compatible with the surrounding area and would provide much neededed housing 703 01:05:03,359 --> 01:05:09,039 stock in the Las Vegas downtown. As such, staff recommends approval of the 704 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:13,039 land use entitlements uh with the following condition amendments. So, 705 01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:18,720 we'll have to I'll probably revisit this when we take the motions, but condition 706 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:27,480 number three on 25-0539 TMP1, which is item 58B. and condition 707 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:27,480 number six of 25-0540-tmp 708 01:05:28,079 --> 01:05:33,520 which is item 59C to include the following sentence at the end of the 709 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:37,920 paragraph of those respective conditions. There shall be specific 710 01:05:35,839 --> 01:05:41,440 reference to the prohibiting of parking on 5- foot driveways. With that, thank 711 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:45,520 you. >> Thank you so much. Uh does the applicant 712 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:49,039 agree to the conditions? >> Yes. Right. 713 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:53,760 » Is there anyone else wishing to be heard on this item? 714 01:05:51,839 --> 01:05:58,160 Seeing none, I will close the public hearing. Are there any questions or 715 01:05:55,680 --> 01:06:04,920 comments from the council members? Um, Miss Summers Armstrong, would you care 716 01:06:00,079 --> 01:06:04,920 to share with us your thoughts? 717 01:06:06,559 --> 01:06:17,039 I'm really overwhelmed and excited. um when we knew that we needed to sell 718 01:06:12,079 --> 01:06:22,799 cashmen um I had such grand hopes and I think that they are being fulfilled 719 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:26,160 today um with this proposal. Um, we know that we need housing desperately, 720 01:06:24,559 --> 01:06:34,480 especially affordable and attainable housing within our community. And I was 721 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:39,839 demanding um as I am because I really want our community, those folks who uh 722 01:06:37,599 --> 01:06:44,319 need this type of housing to not get just any old thing that they when they 723 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:51,520 when they make that turn onto Washington and into their community that they know 724 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:57,200 that the city of Las Vegas um cared about what was going to be there, that 725 01:06:53,680 --> 01:07:02,880 we um had high standards for the development of this community that their 726 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:07,839 lives and the uh lives of their children and their families that are going to 727 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:11,760 grow and enjoy homes there is important and I'm really really excited that LAR 728 01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:17,039 was up to the challenge and I thank you for that. Um I'm just excited. I I think 729 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:22,240 that um this is going to really really change um the trajectory of that 730 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:27,839 community there. And I'm looking forward to um going out into the community and 731 01:07:24,799 --> 01:07:32,079 talking um to people about this. Um letting people know that there are home 732 01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:37,039 ownership options, that there's support with grants for teachers and and folks 733 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:41,280 who have moderate income to be able to afford to live in this community. and 734 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:47,039 we're going to do our best as a city to make sure that you are safe, that you 735 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:52,960 are happy, um that your nearby parks are nice and clean and that um this is just 736 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:57,039 a great place to live and it's happening in W five and I'm really excited about 737 01:07:55,119 --> 01:08:00,880 that. So, thank you, mayor. >> Before I ask for a motion, is there 738 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:07,920 anybody else that would like to say a few words? Yes, Miss Kelly. 739 01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:14,000 » Thank you, mayor. I too am excited. Um, as a native Las Vegas, this is 740 01:08:10,559 --> 01:08:19,040 phenomenal. Uh, I had a a briefing with Stephanie yesterday, so I got to see 741 01:08:16,799 --> 01:08:24,880 this in advance and ask a lot of questions. Very excited. I know that um 742 01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:32,239 they worked very closely with you many iterations of uh you put from how it was 743 01:08:28,799 --> 01:08:36,560 explained to me your heart and soul into um the layout which I know there's 744 01:08:34,719 --> 01:08:43,920 there's a much better word for a project than that but they were talking about 745 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:50,960 sightelines and um just so many elements um and just the product is beautiful. Uh 746 01:08:48,159 --> 01:08:57,520 I hope that this is phenomenally successful and a model for uh what we 747 01:08:54,560 --> 01:09:04,480 can be doing in the city uh to help with uh housing that 748 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:10,000 everybody can access. Um because I think no matter where you live um it's a it's 749 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:14,319 a big deal. But in this particular area, boy am I glad to see this this 750 01:09:12,159 --> 01:09:18,880 happening. and it's terrific that this land and this property in this space 751 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:23,279 uh has worked this way. So, congratulations on getting to this step. 752 01:09:22,239 --> 01:09:27,839 Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Anybody else? Okay, 753 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:34,239 Miss Diaz. >> Thank you, mayor. Um it's truly exciting 754 01:09:30,799 --> 01:09:39,359 to see the revitalization of these two sites. Um, you know, obviously we were 755 01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:43,759 all a little bummed when the state pulled out of Grant Sawyer and were 756 01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:50,000 worried about what was going to happen with under activated spaces. And then 757 01:09:47,359 --> 01:09:54,800 Cashman, we've been chasing whales for a while. Um, not being able to land 758 01:09:52,560 --> 01:10:00,800 anything. And I just think housing is an awesome opportunity for our community. 759 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:07,280 um access to first-time home ownership and um living in an area of town that I 760 01:10:04,719 --> 01:10:13,120 think is so awesome because it's so centric. You can get to every part of 761 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:16,800 Southern Nevada pretty quick from there. It's a hop on the freeway going one way 762 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:21,520 or the other. And so I think that there's a lot of value that this project 763 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:26,719 is bringing. And it's really close to ward three. Um on the other side of 764 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:31,600 Bruce, on the other side of Bruce starts my ward. And so it is kind of a 765 01:10:29,440 --> 01:10:36,560 corridor. Washington is a corridor that is shared amongst wards and I think I 766 01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:40,080 drive this past this site many many times a week. So I'm going to keep a 767 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:46,640 close eye on it. Councilwoman Summers Armstrong um as it goes vertical, but 768 01:10:44,159 --> 01:10:51,840 super excited um to see this come to fruition. And thank you. 769 01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:56,800 » Oh, thank you so much. Um I I too want to lend my support to this project. I'm 770 01:10:54,400 --> 01:11:01,360 so excited about it. And for me, it's it's a little personal. Uh my father was 771 01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:06,800 a waiter when I was growing up, and we never had a whole lot of money, but the 772 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:12,239 first time that we purchased a home was when we moved to Las Vegas a few years 773 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:17,280 after, and we'd always been apartment uh dwellers, and that was perfectly fine, 774 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:21,840 but my parents wanted something else for us. And I can we we bought a home near 775 01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:27,840 Valley High School because I went to Valley and it was $33,000 776 01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:34,159 to purchase. It was one of the old um party home, cinder block homes in that 777 01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:40,560 area off of Eastern. And it changed our family's self-image. We owned something. 778 01:11:38,239 --> 01:11:45,360 We belonged here. We were property owners and and were part of this 779 01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:51,040 community. And it made all the difference in the world. in my family 780 01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:58,159 psyche that we were no longer dependent on others for lodging. We had a place of 781 01:11:54,320 --> 01:12:03,520 our own and I know that uh that will be something that hundreds of families are 782 01:12:00,480 --> 01:12:08,880 going to experience in this area and I am so excited for the future of this 783 01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:14,080 project but more importantly the future of the city of Las Vegas and the impact 784 01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:19,760 it's going to make. So congratulations and uh thank you Lenar for being a 785 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:27,120 visionary in this area. And now I would like to ask Miss Summers Armstrong for a 786 01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:31,040 motion for items 53A and 53B. Did you want to speak? [laughter] 787 01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:36,080 » No. >> Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry, Mayor Prom. 788 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:40,880 » I'm It's just a request. Uh, and I mentioned this to to Stephanie as well, 789 01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:44,880 Miss Cornau, is if if it's at your discretion, like if there's a way the 790 01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:48,480 city and LAR could partner um as Cashman is coming down. There's a lot of us that 791 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:52,000 have memories of Cashman and maybe a way to to kind of celebrate what Cashman 792 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:55,280 meant to this community. And also because of the accessibility of the 793 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:59,840 site, it's also very close to W one. I just want to point that out. [laughter] 794 01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:03,280 » Is is there a ward that it's not close to? 795 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:07,199 » And Lar would love to do that, by the way. [laughter] So happy to 796 01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:12,800 » I just think that it's hilarious the sibling uh I won't say rivalry but the 797 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:17,679 but the the push and pull this is so important to all of us right and so 798 01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:22,080 we're looking at this as the hope for the future for our city and I'm really 799 01:13:19,440 --> 01:13:26,000 excited and mayor if I may go ahead >> you may please make this motion 800 01:13:24,480 --> 01:13:31,520 » all right so do I have to do them individually uh legal counsel 801 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:38,080 » no just you are oh I'm sorry voting um you are making a motion for uh 53A and 802 01:13:35,679 --> 01:13:43,120 53B at this time. >> Through you, madame mayor, as amended. 803 01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:52,360 » Thank you, Madame Mayor.

U Mr. Pedra, I was hopeful or hoping that you all would 990 01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:18,080 come back post planning commission to kind of see where we were with the 991 01:29:16,480 --> 01:29:22,960 development um project. I know that I received some 992 01:29:21,199 --> 01:29:26,960 information about it back in October, but since then, we as a council have 993 01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:32,960 received multiple presentations and multiple 994 01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:38,880 information that make me rethink a little bit about how to best move this 995 01:29:36,239 --> 01:29:44,480 proposed project forward. So, it's my hope that we can meet and discuss my 996 01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:48,880 pain points on some of the waiverss that are being requested and then uh come 997 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:52,880 back in a month's time.

Um I am very concerned about the 1036 01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:49,520 location of the proposed uh outdoor the the facility which would uh be selling 1037 01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:55,280 alcohol. Um my understanding is that uh I live in the community. 1038 01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:59,760 Uh although this planning commission is approving this has said it was all 1039 01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:05,679 right. I'm concerned about the impact on the on the surrounding community to have 1040 01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:11,199 an alcohol uh facility in this area. We have uh you know, we 1041 01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:18,000 have some situations in the community and and I'm just not sure that this is a 1042 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:20,320 harmonious or compatible use in that area, 1043 01:33:18,480 --> 01:33:24,560 » but we're going to have securities everything there. 1044 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:30,400 » I understand. I also have received concerns from long-term 1045 01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:35,679 uh businesses that are in the area that have concerns and that have seen other 1046 01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:43,840 facilities that have been in that area that have caused issues because of 1047 01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:48,880 selling alcohol outd and and and so I'm concerned about this 1048 01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:52,800 and and you also did not come to talk to me about this so that we could sort of 1049 01:33:51,199 --> 01:33:57,120 work through some of the issues. Nobody told me I had to come and talk to you. 1050 01:33:55,040 --> 01:34:02,159 Nobody tell me nothing. I'm new to this, too. Nobody tell me anything. Nothing. 1051 01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:04,960 If I had known that, I would have came and talk to you. Nobody told me 1052 01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:11,199 anything. >> All right. So, I am inclined 1053 01:34:08,639 --> 01:34:19,440 to offer you an option, and that is to obey this for 60 days, and let's talk 1054 01:34:14,719 --> 01:34:26,480 about this. Um, and uh, and so because I do have concerns about having a an 1055 01:34:22,719 --> 01:34:30,000 alcohol facility in this community, >> but they're going to have the bar right 1056 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:32,000 across the street, the Spanish bar right across the street. So, what's the 1057 01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:37,120 difference? >> Would you be willing to have an abance 1058 01:34:34,159 --> 01:34:41,360 for 60 days? >> I'm still paying rent for the place for 1059 01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:44,800 nothing. You know, I'm not making anything on it. 1060 01:34:42,480 --> 01:34:49,679 » Would you agree to an obeyance? because my other option could be to deny it. So, 1061 01:34:47,679 --> 01:34:52,719 would you like to obey for 60 days? >> Yes. 1062 01:34:50,239 --> 01:34:55,840 » Okay, madame mayor, that would be my my 1063 01:34:55,199 --> 01:35:02,960 motion. >> Okay.

How 1065 01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:15,040 about we do a 30-day so you can come to some arrangement and he can move on? Can 1066 01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:18,159 I offer an amendment to your motion? >> Thank you, Madame Mayor. I would accept 1067 01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:20,320 that amendment. 30 days. >> Are you comfortable with 30 days? 1068 01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:25,120 » Yes. >> Then we will look forward to seeing you 1069 01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:30,719 back and I'm looking forward to a robust conversation between you and the council 1070 01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:38,960 woman so we can uh vote in favor of this and move forward.

Uh I'm a bicyclist and journalist here in 1098 01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:47,760 the Las Vegas area and I'm here [clears throat] to talk about a public 1099 01:37:44,480 --> 01:37:53,280 safety issue and that has to do with uh our road safety and bicycle safety 1100 01:37:50,239 --> 01:38:00,159 issues that Las Vegas has to deal with. Um, as you know, uh, the 1101 01:37:57,119 --> 01:38:07,199 bicycle crashes, the road deaths, uh, have been gaining a lot of attention 1102 01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:10,800 and, um, I have some bad news for Las Vegas. I actually did some research and 1103 01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:16,159 I was kind of curious about your bicycle safety plan and I learned that uh a 1104 01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:23,360 national organization called People for Bikes which ranked all 2,91 1105 01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:28,880 cities that they looked at Las Vegas you came in at 273rd. 1106 01:38:26,480 --> 01:38:34,560 Uh to do the math uh you're at the 29th percentile. That's appalling. That's 1107 01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:39,520 that's bad. and I'm here to talk to you about to see if you guys can start 1108 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:45,520 re-evaluating your priorities to make uh our road safety better here in the metro 1109 01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:49,760 area. Uh 20 years ago uh when I worked at the Tampa Trabune, I actually left 1110 01:38:47,199 --> 01:38:54,639 the newspaper to work on road safety issues. I actually worked six and a half 1111 01:38:51,440 --> 01:38:59,199 years full-time traffic safety, bicycle safety. I was so upset that bicyclists 1112 01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:04,000 were getting killed that I actually left journalism and I said, "I got to walk 1113 01:39:01,119 --> 01:39:09,520 the walk, bike the bike." I worked six and a half years of my life, created a 1114 01:39:06,480 --> 01:39:14,960 coalition of bike shops. We made safety on our roads a public policy issue. Not 1115 01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:20,000 just among the other ones, we made it a top public policy issue. 1116 01:39:18,159 --> 01:39:25,040 I'm here to tell you five ways that you can do it. Number one, you have to lower 1117 01:39:23,119 --> 01:39:30,159 your speed limits. people go way too far, lower the speed limits. Number two 1118 01:39:28,159 --> 01:39:35,520 is your engineering of the roads, the infrastructure. Um, I just passed on a 1119 01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:40,800 photograph to your staff about a utility pole blocking a sidewalk on industrial 1120 01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:45,440 right by the Chicago corner. I just couldn't believe it. There's just a 1121 01:39:42,159 --> 01:39:51,600 utility pole just blocking the sidewalk. These kind of things have to change. You 1122 01:39:48,159 --> 01:39:57,119 have to start building bicycle and walkability infrastructure. 1123 01:39:54,080 --> 01:40:01,199 Okay. Would you mind finishing up? Yeah. >> Uh, a third way is to you're going to 1124 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:04,800 have to start enforcement. You know, one of the kids there there were four kids 1125 01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:09,840 or four students killed going and leaving schools. It's an incredible 1126 01:40:06,480 --> 01:40:14,480 number. And one of the one of the girls who who died was on a bicycle who veered 1127 01:40:12,159 --> 01:40:19,520 around a parked car in a parking lot. Real cities would send their police to 1128 01:40:16,480 --> 01:40:24,320 every school and get and ticket every last car parked in the bike lanes. I 1129 01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:26,800 actually bicycled around your city just the other day. 1130 01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:31,600 » 10 more seconds. So, can you tell us the rest? You're already overtime, 1131 01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:37,600 » right? I would also um Steve Wolson is working on punishments and I would u 1132 01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:43,520 again plea plea with you guys to make road safety a top issue for 2026. 1133 01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:51,520 » Thank you so much. Agenda item 62. Uh council emer 1134 01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:55,840 Oh, okay. It's our nimn. Okay. 1135 01:40:53,840 --> 01:41:02,080 » Hello again, mighty [clears throat] mighty council and birthday girl. 1136 01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:06,440 » Um the uh >> you have two minutes, Mr. Nimmard. 1137 01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:18,080 » Methusela went to 969 years young. You're still a baby. [laughter] 1138 01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:23,119 Um you can find my name is Eric Melzdc Christ Nimrod. 1139 01:41:20,639 --> 01:41:27,840 You can find my twin brother Christ in the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, 1140 01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:34,639 and John conquering the crucifixion 1141 01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:41,119 on the Roman [clears throat] cross. He's alive and he's a winner. 1142 01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:50,199 As long as religious people worship the death of Christ and not his victory over 1143 01:41:45,679 --> 01:41:50,199 death and the cross, 1144 01:41:50,639 --> 01:42:01,440 cancer, heart attacks, suicide, etc. homelessness will never be cured 1145 01:41:58,719 --> 01:42:08,080 because the law of attraction is you attract that which you worship. 1146 01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:13,360 And most religious people worship Jesus death 1147 01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:21,040 and not his conquering of death. So I'll say that now. [clears throat] 1148 01:42:16,639 --> 01:42:27,600 I have doubts about public works 24 to 29 since they involve the RTC 1149 01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:32,480 whose buses always run late or don't come at all. 1150 01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:38,880 Your safety is our top priority is their slogan. 1151 01:42:35,119 --> 01:42:47,600 getting to your destination on time and safety should be their top priority 1152 01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:53,119 because RTC is running pathetically. Thank you. 1153 01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:57,600 » Thank you so much. Agenda item 62, council emerging issues, discussion 1154 01:42:55,440 --> 01:43:02,960 regarding potential items for future city council agendas.

Do any members of 1158 01:43:14,719 --> 01:43:20,080 the council have any topics that they would like to bring forward under this 1159 01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:24,159 item? >> Yes, madame mayor, if I may. 1160 01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:27,600 » Yes, you may. As we uh undertake the renegotiation of our franchise 1161 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:33,360 agreements with our local utility providers, um I would like to propose 1162 01:43:30,159 --> 01:43:38,320 that we consider including provisions uh that require regular coordination 1163 01:43:36,719 --> 01:43:42,880 between the city of Las Vegas departments and staff and those 1164 01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:48,239 utilities um so that we can assess the current condition and capacity of our 1165 01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:53,199 utility resources in the redevelopment areas and in our older communities and 1166 01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:58,080 to collaborate relatively developed strategies to improve service delivery. 1167 01:43:55,679 --> 01:44:02,320 Uh that is especially important uh to me and others um as redevelopment 1168 01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:07,440 accelerates in these areas and where existing infrastructure and services are 1169 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:11,199 often insufficient to meet the current needs uh let alone support um future 1170 01:44:10,159 --> 01:44:14,880 growth. >> Thank you so much.

If not, before we go to 1172 01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:26,800 agenda item 63, I it has come to my attention that our director of 1173 01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:31,920 communications, who does so much more than that, Dave Wgleman, this is his 1174 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:39,360 last meeting with us. Uh he will be retiring after 26 years. Um he has done 1175 01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:45,679 um uh Yman's job. I was hoping to get a few more years from him. Um, but I 1176 01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:51,760 certainly understand uh his uh his reasoning and his enthusiasm about 1177 01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:59,040 retiring at this point. He started our TV uh station. He built a team that uh 1178 01:44:55,760 --> 01:45:03,840 we currently have.

On January 16th, uh Sweet Honey 1307 01:56:10,239 --> 01:56:19,040 in the Rock was at the City of Las Vegas, West Las Vegas um theater. Uh 1308 01:56:16,560 --> 01:56:23,679 this is a nationally recognized group. Uh they actually did a children's 1309 01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:28,239 performance on Friday and then they did a paid performance in the evening that 1310 01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:32,400 was sold out. It was amazing and I was very pleased to be have an opportunity 1311 01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:38,239 to introduce the group to our community and we're looking forward to having them 1312 01:56:34,719 --> 01:56:43,520 come back. On January the 17th, our community came together in joy to 1313 01:56:41,119 --> 01:56:48,719 celebrate uh the Martin Luther King holiday weekend at the Taste the Dream 1314 01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:53,760 Festival and Community Resource Fair that was held at the historic West Las 1315 01:56:50,560 --> 01:57:00,480 Vegas school and bled over onto the Wetsy campus. We had food trucks. All 1316 01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:05,840 types of resources were there. KC did the music. They held it down and kept 1317 01:57:02,960 --> 01:57:12,000 the crowd engaged. And I would like to say that we had people from all across 1318 01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:15,280 the nation there. Um they went on TikTok to find out what was happening in the 1319 01:57:13,599 --> 01:57:20,480 community and I met some folks from Delaware that had come all the way from 1320 01:57:17,840 --> 01:57:26,639 downtown to enjoy Taste the Dream. So I think this really um is a testament to 1321 01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:34,400 um how we are marketing ourselves and what can be uh as a cultural tourism in 1322 01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:39,679 historic West Las Vegas. On the 17th uh we also well that wasn't that was 1323 01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:43,280 Monday. Oh that evening oh I forgot was the uh Martin Luther King Jr. 1324 01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:48,480 scholarship banquet. I hung out there with the mayor and uh some of our other 1325 01:57:46,159 --> 01:57:53,119 elected officials and the mayor was sweet enough to give a proclamation to 1326 01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:59,199 Mr. Busby who's the national president of the um uh the urban chamber of 1327 01:57:56,080 --> 01:58:03,119 commerce. Uh we had so many illustrious uh folks there and we had a great time 1328 01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:11,119 and congratulations to the Martin Luther King uh folks for putting on an amazing 1329 01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:16,800 event. Uh on Monday we attended the 44th annual Martin Luther King Jr. parade. 1330 01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:23,119 Every single year this event becomes larger. We were 36 and first I rode Big 1331 01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:26,159 Red uh behind the mayor. She was in not on Big Red, y'all. She was in a 1332 01:58:24,719 --> 01:58:30,960 convertible. [laughter] >> Okay. She was riding pretty. I was in 1333 01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:36,159 Big Red with some other community folks. And then I went and walked with um 1334 01:58:33,679 --> 01:58:42,480 schools from W five. So, we had the Western High School band. We had uh the 1335 01:58:38,960 --> 01:58:48,960 dance team from Western. We had uh kids from Parson's Elementary, Vegas Vista, 1336 01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:53,119 and Bunker Elementary. And they walked with me. We didn't even have to ask 1337 01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:58,159 hard. We had over a hundred kids. And so, it was amazing to be uh part of 1338 01:58:55,840 --> 01:59:02,480 this. We didn't even get started till noon because there were so many other 1339 01:59:00,880 --> 01:59:05,840 folks that were there. This is an amazing event. I think it's the largest 1340 01:59:04,239 --> 01:59:12,080 in the nation. And again, congratulations to the MLK uh parade 1341 01:59:09,199 --> 01:59:18,000 committee.

This is my uh 1367 02:01:24,400 --> 02:01:32,239 ancestral home in South Korea where my mother's family lived for many, many 1368 02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:37,920 generations. So, it was very special. Uh the group was visiting Las Vegas, of 1369 02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:42,639 course, to attend the CES convention. Las Vegas is a place where bold thinking 1370 02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:47,520 is encouraged and where partnerships across the world help shape our future. 1371 02:01:45,520 --> 02:01:51,920 The presence of Korean leaders and innovators here at city hall reflect 1372 02:01:49,599 --> 02:01:55,520 Korea's incredible influence on technology. 1373 02:01:53,520 --> 02:02:00,560 The following morning, I was lucky and on Thursday the 8th, I was able to host 1374 02:01:57,760 --> 02:02:05,599 a Korean delegation from Anong City.

Um we started the 1444 02:07:29,520 --> 02:07:36,880 year by unveiling the night we met AC across the way at Civic Plaza and the 1445 02:07:34,639 --> 02:07:41,360 mayor um my arts commissioner Fawn Douglas and our awesome staff were there 1446 02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:46,320 uh celebrating this public art installation um by the local artist 1447 02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:51,040 Chris by our very own local artist Crystal Ramirez. Um, her beautiful piece 1448 02:07:49,199 --> 02:07:56,239 captures the moment so many people fall in love with our awesome city, Vegas. 1449 02:07:54,400 --> 02:08:01,280 She was inspired by the classic Ronet song, Be My Baby. The piece plays uh the 1450 02:07:59,119 --> 02:08:07,920 piece pays homage to our city's iconic neon tradition and the original um 1451 02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:12,480 facade or breeze wall of Caesar's Palace designed by Jay Sarno. So, if you didn't 1452 02:08:10,079 --> 02:08:17,199 if that kind of looked familiar many moons ago, that existed on Caesar's 1453 02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:20,800 Palace out in front. We were fortunate that Jay's daughter, Heidi, attended the 1454 02:08:19,199 --> 02:08:25,199 special event, too. She's right there next to the mayor. And this beautiful 1455 02:08:22,880 --> 02:08:29,599 piece is Crystal's first public artwork installation, and I hope it's the first 1456 02:08:27,440 --> 02:08:34,800 of many. Just want to thank uh Maggie Plaster and her fabulous public art 1457 02:08:31,840 --> 02:08:40,560 team, Jennifer Cleven, um, and so many more that keep the art coming to our 1458 02:08:37,360 --> 02:08:46,800 fabulous city. On Wednesday, January 14th, Labonita opened its eighth 1459 02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:52,000 supermarket. And one interesting fact is that when I was a college student, I got 1460 02:08:49,599 --> 02:08:57,119 to do the ribbon cutting for their first supermarket on Stewart and Ogden. So, 1461 02:08:54,239 --> 02:09:02,480 this was kind of cool to go now and open their ETH. Um, the Martinez family is 1462 02:08:59,760 --> 02:09:06,960 such an integral part of our community um for fresh produce. Uh, if you don't 1463 02:09:05,040 --> 02:09:11,199 want to cook, they have a kitchen and everything's ready for you um right 1464 02:09:09,360 --> 02:09:15,040 there. Uh, so if you're a working mom, you can scoop up your dinner and not 1465 02:09:12,800 --> 02:09:19,520 feel guilty about it. So, if you haven't checked out Alabonita, I highly 1466 02:09:16,880 --> 02:09:25,360 recommend the experience. This uh one located on Bonanza and Nellis is their 1467 02:09:22,079 --> 02:09:31,520 biggest flagship store. So, um stop by if and you won't be disappointed. On 1468 02:09:28,239 --> 02:09:37,199 Wednesday, January 14th, um we also that same day had an adopt a spot signed 1469 02:09:33,679 --> 02:09:42,400 dedication with Janina Sanchez. And uh Arleene stopped by um with Vanessa Costa 1470 02:09:41,119 --> 02:09:48,560 from our department of neighborhood services to kind of support Janina's 1471 02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:52,880 vision to help keep that area clean and adopt the spot. So, I want to thank her 1472 02:09:50,639 --> 02:09:57,840 for her leadership and um the vision to wanting to be part of the work it takes 1473 02:09:55,040 --> 02:10:04,159 to improve our community. Uh Janina is an amazing ambassador. Uh she is Miss 1474 02:10:00,239 --> 02:10:08,400 USOA, Mrs. Downtown Las Vegas 2025. And so that's really cool to see her be a 1475 02:10:06,239 --> 02:10:12,639 role model for her four children and mothers across our city. And we just 1476 02:10:11,040 --> 02:10:17,360 wanted to put did you know that you could adopt a spot because we all have 1477 02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:21,920 spots that we need a lot of TLC given to. So if you're interested, take a look 1478 02:10:19,440 --> 02:10:27,920 and reach out and uh we'd love to be for there for your sign dedication, too. Um 1479 02:10:24,800 --> 02:10:35,199 this past Saturday I was a lucky um person to witness the graduation of over 1480 02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:40,960 50 plus individuals who completely um who successfully completed an 18month 1481 02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:46,079 um program through Shine a Light. It's called the IPATH uh program graduation. 1482 02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:50,880 And so all of these uh folks actually came out of homelessness to 1483 02:10:48,079 --> 02:10:56,159 self-sufficiency. And I was there to witness the moment and just uh rejoice 1484 02:10:53,520 --> 02:11:00,719 with everyone uh because they've been able to secure employment, obtain a bank 1485 02:10:58,639 --> 02:11:05,360 account, you know, obtain financial literacy, be connected to so many 1486 02:11:02,639 --> 02:11:09,920 support groups to keep them um to keep cheering them on on this journey back uh 1487 02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:14,159 to being the best versions of themselves. So, congratulations to all 1488 02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:19,679 the graduates and especially shine a light for all the impactful work they do 1489 02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:23,840 in our community. on Monday, January 12th. We're going a little backwards in 1490 02:11:21,599 --> 02:11:28,800 time, but we took a tour of the UNLV School of Dental Medicine. And I know 1491 02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:34,480 Mr. uh Dr. Ma is probably sad that his picture is no longer going to be uh up 1492 02:11:31,119 --> 02:11:41,199 there, but um he kind of gave us a tour of the um new advanced needs clinic. And 1493 02:11:38,159 --> 02:11:44,320 it's over a $2 million investment that set up this clinic designed to serve 1494 02:11:42,960 --> 02:11:49,599 patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities. and it's 1495 02:11:46,560 --> 02:11:55,760 soon to uh open and it also will serve children with cleft pallets and cranial 1496 02:11:52,480 --> 02:12:00,159 fascial anomalies. So uh I want to thank UNLV President Dr. Chris Heavey and Dr. 1497 02:11:58,239 --> 02:12:04,000 James Ma for being there to personally give us this tour and educate us more 1498 02:12:02,239 --> 02:12:09,520 about the upcoming work that will happen in that space. Last but not least, I 1499 02:12:06,400 --> 02:12:15,760 just have a few PSAs. Free tree. Free tree, please. We need the trees planted 1500 02:12:11,679 --> 02:12:22,239 in our city. Um, we need everyone all hands on deck to to volunteer. So, if 1501 02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:26,960 you live in 89101, 89104, 89110 or any of the other listed zip codes, you may 1502 02:12:24,159 --> 02:12:31,280 qualify for a free TE. So, please reach out so we can get that in your hands. 1503 02:12:28,960 --> 02:12:36,719 And lastly, never too late, never too early, excuse me, to flag shredding 1504 02:12:34,480 --> 02:12:40,079 events. And so, we all are in that time where we have to be getting all of 1505 02:12:38,320 --> 02:12:45,040 gathering all of our documentation for tax purposes. So also remember to start 1506 02:12:42,880 --> 02:12:50,880 setting your documents aside for shredding. Um I'm joining LVCA 1507 02:12:48,159 --> 02:12:56,159 in this uh offering to our community. So uh we will accept papers 1508 02:12:54,000 --> 02:13:01,599 um but not heavy binders, credit card or bank cards, electronic devices or wet or 1509 02:12:58,639 --> 02:13:05,679 damp paper. So check the do and don'ts. And I think we will also be collecting 1510 02:13:03,599 --> 02:13:10,800 collecting expired meds at the same time. So, save the day, April, Saturday, 1511 02:13:07,817 --> 02:13:15,599 [snorts] April 17th, 9 to noon, in Ward 3, 857 Northeastern Avenue.

I know she covered it, but I 1522 02:14:01,360 --> 02:14:08,960 just I do want to again shout out UNLV. I mean, this was a state-of-the-art 1523 02:14:06,639 --> 02:14:14,800 clinic, and so thank you to UNLV their for their continued commitment to 1524 02:14:11,360 --> 02:14:20,239 provide first class health care to all of our community residents.

And so in the is the way I love how uh Councilwoman Alan Pinsky 1628 02:23:06,240 --> 02:23:14,160 says if you're old-fashioned like I am and like to use a a phone then just call 1629 02:23:11,520 --> 02:23:20,240 us because we answer. I have staff that forwards office phones to their cell. 1630 02:23:16,560 --> 02:23:25,760 Email us at w2 vegasnvada.com. that is the best email. Uh I do not have 1631 02:23:23,200 --> 02:23:29,600 a personal email that I look at very often. And so even if you want to 1632 02:23:27,680 --> 02:23:36,800 contact me, that's the best way to do it. We we answer every contact like I am 1633 02:23:34,399 --> 02:23:41,200 almost certain that every other council person does here. It gives me such 1634 02:23:39,280 --> 02:23:47,359 pleasure to continue to be here. And while I know that I may be done in June, 1635 02:23:44,080 --> 02:23:53,359 I hope that there are 30 people, David Wgleman, who throw their name in and uh 1636 02:23:51,280 --> 02:23:57,040 uh which may keep me here till November, which would thrill me. So, thank you 1637 02:23:54,880 --> 02:24:04,520 very much. >> Thank you so much, Councilwoman. Uh this 1638 02:23:59,680 --> 02:24:04,520 city council meeting is now adjourned.
