[4:00] Good morning. Good morning. I'm going to call to order the August 4th meeting of the Clark County

[4:23] Commission. The first item on our agenda is Commissioner County Manager's Recognition. We'll begin by recognizing Clark County departments for winning

[4:33] 3, 20, 20, 26 national association of counties, achievement awards, and we'll turn the microphone over to Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

[4:43] Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I'm going to go ahead and read all three because they're all pretty unique and they're really cutting edge

[4:51] for the rest of the country on what we do. So as my board knows, I sit on Nevada, Naco, as well as National Naco, in National Naco.

[5:00] The last meeting I talked about IT and some of the things that they've done, but it comprised of a little more than 3,260 counties from around the country.

[5:12] And they all get together on our regular basis. We have meetings, a lot of Zoom meetings. We've learned there just as efficient, but they just wrapped up their conference that they had last week.

[5:24] And at the conference, Clark County was super excited and proud to be recognized for three very unique things that we've done in our county, and it really shows that we're constantly moving the needle.

[5:38] So much that National Naco will be here in October.

[5:42] Because there are things that we are doing today that other counties can learn from. So the first one is many of you know the Clark County Office of Sports and Special Events.

[5:54] As you know, we start talking about this in 2019, long before we had to make it work.

[6:00] But now we have a very exciting and robust special events department.

[6:06] Right here in Clark County through responsive service, efficient coordination, strong partnership, the program helps to deliver safe world class events that enhance community engagement, economic vitality, and overall event experience that defines Clark County.

[6:22] But we couldn't do all that without our staff who's dedicated to fostering a vibrant and dynamic community by supporting a diverse range. And it's always funny when I talked to other counties across the country and they're like, oh my gosh, we're getting ready for this big event.

[6:40] And I'm like, so how many people are like 9,000 it's taking all of our staff and I'm like 9,000 we got 300,000 coming just for New Year's Eve and we're constantly 38 departments are engaged and involved in all of that.

[6:54] But now we have a system in place that makes it very efficient. You can do it if your job is to do it at midnight. You can do it at midnight and you can get through the process.

[7:04] We can start working through it, but we couldn't have done all of that without the folks in business licensing and I know they got tired of hearing from me, so they really deserve this award.

[7:14] But so Vince Keanu, who are our director of business licensing, Jennifer Wilfred, deputy director of business licensing and do renter program administrator Adriana Adriana,

[7:28] Adriana Durante Management, Analyst, Elena Marshan, Management, Analyst, Gemma Avello, Management, Analyst, Micah Mesa, Management, Analyst, Sandra Pena, Administrative Specialist, Heather Simmons, Administrative Specialist. So if we could give all of them my round of applause.

[7:53] And I'm going to bring, I'm going to bring all the groups up at once because it really is say pictures worth a thousand words and to see all the employees that have done three small projects.

[8:04] I imagine the 10,000 employees that we have that can do so much more.

[8:08] Okay, our next one that we were recognized for was Clark County eviction diversion program.

[8:14] The eviction diversion program is designed to support vulnerable residents of Clark County, particular the elderly and persons with disability who are at risk of eviction.

[8:25] The program connects tenants to critical resources, including rental assistance, legal aid, individual case management with the primary goal of promoting housing stability and preventing displacement by addressing the underlying programs.

[8:41] We have eviction, this helps reduce homelessness supports community well being and improves the outcomes recently expanded beyond the Las Vegas court to North Las Vegas and Henderson court and I can tell you that a one stop shop ensuring that people get the access a lot of times we're now getting in front of the eviction so that we can have a safe place for them to go, but really it's a real partnership with our justice court.

[9:09] So I want to thank them because it's made a difference in so many lives, so if we could recognize the employees with the court system so Las Vegas Justice Court.

[9:21] Melissa Delagarza Charles map senior court administrator William him in is assistant court administrator.

[9:31] Mirad Napolitano, I'm dropping that name up, I'm very sorry.

[9:37] Division Administrator, Desiree Perez, court program administrator, Jamie Sornson, director of Clark County Social Services, Randy Renoso, deputy director of Clark County Social Services, Serena Moore, Manager of Social Services.

[9:53] Susie McLaughlin, North Las Vegas Justice Court, Jackie Matolliano, North Las Vegas Justice Court, Antonio Cristiani, North Las Vegas Justice Court in a special recognition to Jonathan Norman of legal aid for being the glue that holds it all together, so if we could also give them a round of applause.

[10:20] Lastly, this one is a unique program that we started here in Clark County and we're the first in I believe Nevada to actually do this and it really is saving life so it doesn't get a lot of attention but know that nationwide people recognize what we're doing and this is the whole blood pilot program.

[10:42] Really this means that the delivery of whole blood by MS providers in the field closes the gap between life, threatening, hemorrhaging and hospital intervention.

[10:52] So really what does that mean? That means that we're providing you blood on the scene to ensure that we can do everything possible to save your life and that really is huge for what we see today in our valley.

[11:08] The whole blood pilot program targets patients who experience severe bleeding as a result of traumatic injury, national data supports an increase in survivability of patients who suffer major blood loss and receive rapid administration of blood products and so.

[11:26] If you all don't know and if you've ever needed blood into have that on the bus or the rig or whatever you want to call it right then and there is a phenomenal cutting edge of what Clark County is doing to ensure that our folks we can do everything that we are saving them.

[11:45] But we couldn't have done that without a lot of people, so I do want to recognize the employees chief Billy Samuels deputy chief.

[11:53] Sean Collins assistant fire chief, Dalen Wilbridge Michael Holt, Jason Polmutter, Ryan Tyler, Justin Pack, Elena Johnson, Justin Pearson, Matthew Hishman, Rebecca Carmoody, Jason Montague, Nick Rowe.

[12:12] And Lance Howard Christian Ross and Chris Thorpe and then hopefully Jen Wyatt's here because she was kind of she's retired senior deputy chief but she kind of spirited this.

[12:26] But if we could also give them a round of applause.

[12:30] So before I invite them all up because I want their general public to see the amazing employees that we have that are constantly keeping our community going in so many different ways from public safety to.

[12:49] Efficiency moving through our system and making sure that the vulnerabilities we have 38 departments and we're responsible for 2.3 million people, but these programs today are programs that change lives forever.

[13:06] And without the employees getting in front of it, thinking of new ideas being on the cutting edge, we wouldn't have some of that in for national naco to recognize them.

[13:18] It's a really big deal because they get well over 15,000 entries and to get these entries means that this is going to be in other counties and it's going to save lives.

[13:30] So thank you.

[13:31] Do one big round of applause and then all please come up.

[13:36] Thank you.

[14:06] Thank you.

[14:36] Thank you.

[15:00] I mean, we can get out.

[16:00] I have you, you come down and you come to the eye and you use it.

[16:03] I'll be with you all the way to the back,

[16:05] but you don't know how to do it.

[16:07] You don't know how to do it.

[16:08] You can have a big breath there for a bit.

[16:11] You can hear from us.

[16:12] You can't throw a fire out in your mouth.

[16:14] You can't make it a bit.

[16:16] You can't make it a bit.

[16:17] You can't make it a bit.

[16:18] You can't make it a bit.

[16:19] You can't make it a bit.

[16:20] There you go.

[16:21] Thank you very much.

[16:30] All right, that we all got a window.

[16:44] You can have the camera.

[18:16] All right, let's see what we can do.

[18:26] Yeah, please move up.

[18:27] You guys can move up.

[18:28] You got to clean everybody.

[18:29] If you were to follow firefighters to stay behind a couple of the commisioners,

[18:33] because we're going to need to squeeze a couple.

[18:37] But yeah, I got everybody in.

[18:39] Is everybody out of the window?

[18:40] All right, here we go.

[18:47] All right, here we go everybody.

[18:48] On the count of three, the end one, two, three.

[18:55] Thank you.

[18:56] Thank you.

[19:26] All right, here we go.

[19:56] All right.

[20:08] Good morning, manager Schiller.

[20:10] We can advance to the first time set aside for public comment.

[20:15] Anyone wishing to speak on items that are on today's agenda, please come forward at this time.

[20:22] May state your name for the record and speak for up to three minutes.

[20:29] All right, seeing, come forward.

[20:32] This is your time to speak on items on today's agenda.

[20:41] The items five through 41 are scheduled for the consent agenda.

[20:45] We'll not receive a separate hearing.

[20:50] Good morning.

[20:56] I'm Jacqueline Flores for the Greater Las Vegas Shelter Mental Association.

[21:00] It's beginning an opposition of item 42.

[21:04] Instead of imposing new short-term rental restrictions, this board and the county staff should focus on

[21:10] correcting the long-standing problems in the licensing system and addressing the constitutional concerns that remain unresolved.

[21:19] Remove the barriers that prevent residents from obtaining the licenses you require them to hold.

[21:26] It has been 1,434 days, nearly 47 months.

[21:32] This September will mark 40-40 years since the licensing system was last opened.

[21:38] For four years, applicants have waited for their applications to be processed.

[21:43] During that same period, Clark County has successfully hosted four Formula One events and is preparing for a fifth.

[21:52] Yet residents in our communities continue to be told that they must wait for a basic business license.

[22:00] The current process creates an uneven plain field.

[22:03] Ordinary residents face a complex regulatory path that often resulting long delays or denials while a large commercial interest move through the system

[22:14] or quickly and with fewer obstacles.

[22:17] We are not opposed to a efficient processing for major projects or corporations.

[22:23] Efficiency is good governance.

[22:26] What we ask is the same efficiency and fairness be extended to average residents who simply want to operate within the rules.

[22:35] During the election season, many of you will speak about the challenges facing working families.

[22:41] The regulations before you today make it harder not easier for those same families to use their properties to support themselves.

[22:48] Property rights do process and equal treatment under the law are not optional.

[22:52] They are fundamental.

[22:54] I urge this commission to set aside item 42 direct staff to reopen and repair the licensing process.

[23:02] Process the backlog of applications and ensure the system treats residents with the same seriousness given to the large commercial interest.

[23:10] That is the responsible and lawful path forward.

[23:12] Thank you.

[23:13] Thank you very much.

[23:14] Thank you very much.

[23:15] Thanks speaker please.

[23:20] I am Randy Gow.

[23:23] I am a local realtor and also a short term rental investor.

[23:28] I own a couple properties myself.

[23:30] I just wanted to speak on opposite.

[23:32] Item number 42.

[23:34] I'm not completely opposed to it, I'm not completely supportive of it.

[23:40] I do agree that there needs to be some regulations in place.

[23:43] There are some bad actors right now that are making the public opinion of short-term rentals very bad because they're not operating the correct way.

[23:54] So I think with some sort of regulations, people can know how to operate the correct way.

[23:59] I do think Airbnb's short-term rentals are good for the local economy though because it spreads the economics of people spending money towards your communities.

[24:08] It also creates a lot of jobs. I personally employ three different cleaning teams,

[24:13] handyman, electricians, HVAC people, the list goes on and on. So short-term rentals, I believe.

[24:21] It's still really powerful for a city and regulations that are attainable for people to get the regulations will be great for the city.

[24:29] You'll get more taxes. It's as I didn't prepare anything, but it'll be a win-win for everyone.

[24:36] And for you guys, I think you're looking out for your people in your neighbourhoods, right?

[24:40] So you want to make sure that they're protected. They're also the economy's good, but people are operating the correct way.

[24:47] So I think when the licenses come out and it's more attainable, but the right way is stated, right?

[24:53] Then it could be a win-win for everyone. So that's I think that would be a good for the rest of the city.

[24:58] Yeah. Thank you very much.

[25:01] Good morning.

[25:03] My name is Treslo Pets and I also am, I'm being here for item 42.

[25:12] I did the process from the very beginning. I got drawn and did the whole process and then was denied

[25:20] because I had a septic tank. So when the court ruled that it was unconstitutional,

[25:27] I went back to the county and they go, we don't know what we're doing with all this yet. So

[25:36] I am still trying to do Airbnb. I don't rent as much as I used to.

[25:45] Code enforcement was a living terror with gas to where I didn't realize I could call law enforcement when

[25:56] they were trying to open my gate when they were trying to jump over the fence when they were threatening my

[26:04] guess. And I did report it and I did put a complaint. But for you trying to do something legal and

[26:13] I do Airbnb's an organ, Washington, California, and now I've been trying to do it here.

[26:19] It's we can't, you know, because I have $30,000 in fine and they've leaned my house.

[26:29] You know, so I have this 30,000 over my head that in a minute I don't know what's going to happen with that mean.

[26:37] I know the judge has kind of stopped everything right now from any more accumulating any more fines or

[26:42] means. But $30,000 is a lot of money for just trying to make some money and give back to the community.

[26:52] Because when we rent, you've got ubers, you've got the markets, and we're not even in town. We're

[27:00] way over on Jones indicator. So I feel like we were targeted that you guys never really intended to

[27:09] give licenses and everybody that turned into license, those were the people that code enforcement

[27:14] were going after. In the beginning, I would call the office and I go, hey my family's going to be here. This is

[27:22] their name. This is the car they're driving. Don't bother them. And I was constantly doing that. And then my family says,

[27:30] you don't need to do that. So I stopped doing that. But I was trying to be lawful with them.

[27:38] But here we are four years later, no license, 30,000 in fine. I don't know what's going to happen with this

[27:46] mean. But I think if people are trying to do it legally, I mean look at other states. I mean look at

[27:55] Henderson. They do it. It's money that you're going to generate because you're going to get a fee

[28:00] from every rental and every weekend, every day. You get, you get part of that. Thank you.

[28:08] Thank you very much. If you could just step aside Mr. Harrison, if you could grab her address for us,

[28:13] thank you. Next speaker. Hi, how's it going this morning? My name is Mike Hoffman,

[28:21] H-O-F-F-M-A-N, for the record concern neighbor. I'm also here to talk on item number 42.

[28:28] Thank you for the consideration of item number 42 on today's agenda. For eight months or so,

[28:34] this STR injection has allowed for an unlicensed short-term rental in my neighborhood to continue to

[28:38] disturb the peace. Leave out trash, drive excessively fast, at all times of the day, and park

[28:45] numerous cars on the street and create parking violations. This issue has gone on for more than four

[28:50] years in my neighborhood. The county has a right to mitigate this issue for the residents.

[28:55] This injunction is exponentially grown the problem of neighborhood nuisance for residents and unincorporate

[29:00] clerk counting. STR owners and residents have rights. The county also has rights and obligations.

[29:09] We can't let neighborhoods and residents suffer. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[29:16] Good morning. Good morning, seriously. My name is Melissa Cassidy, C-A-S-S-I-D-Y. I'm speaking on item number 42.

[29:26] Good morning, commissioners. My name is Melissa Cassidy. I'm not an investor or a commercial operator.

[29:32] I live in my home, and I rent two bedrooms to help afford the rising cost of living in Clark County.

[29:38] Years ago, the Nevada legislature directed counties to create a legal path for short-term rentals.

[29:44] Unfortunately, Clark County has made that path extremely difficult,

[29:47] especially for home-share hosts like me, who are treated the same as whole-home rental operators,

[29:53] despite living on the property. I must pay the same licensing fee as a whole-home STR.

[30:00] While making a small fraction of the profits, I feel completely unrepresented by this regulation and my commissioners who rigorously defend the resort industry's interests over the everyday taxpayer.

[30:12] Now, the county is considering requiring booking platforms to block reservations for any property that cannot be verified as license.

[30:19] That sounds reasonable on the surface, but there's a serious problem. Clark County does not currently have a reliable real-time verification system to support this requirement.

[30:28] Even more concerning, the county is stopped accepting new, short-term rental license applications and is not provided a date for when applications will reopen.

[30:37] This means responsible homeowners who want to follow the rules have no way to obtain a license, yet they can still be prevented from accepting future booking through no fault of their own.

[30:48] This proposal could also harm currently licensed hosts, if errors or delays in the county's verification process, cause legitimate listings to be blocked.

[30:57] The burden of an incomplete county system should not fall in law-abiding residents or on the booking platforms.

[31:03] I respectfully ask you to delay or amend this requirement until Clark County has a dependable real-time verification system in place and has reopened the licensing process, so eligible homeowners have a fair opportunity to comply with the law.

[31:17] Thanks for your time and consideration.

[31:20] Thank you very much.

[31:23] Good morning.

[31:25] Morning commissioner.

[31:26] My name is Travis Scher.

[31:28] I'm speaking in opposition to agenda item 42.

[31:30] I respectfully ask you to reconsider these proposed amendments to the short-term rental ordinance.

[31:36] Responsible short-term rental owners who follow rules provide valuable accommodations for visitors, support local businesses,

[31:42] create jobs in generate millions of dollars in tax revenue for Clark County.

[31:46] At the same time, the current ordinance remains the subject of ongoing litigation and a court injunction.

[31:52] I urge the board to allow that legal process to run its course before imposing additional requirements on property owners and booking platforms.

[32:01] We ask that you work with stakeholders to create a fair balanced regulations that target the bad actors without placing unnecessary burdens on responsible operators.

[32:10] Thank you.

[32:12] Good morning.

[32:17] Good morning.

[32:18] My name is Jason Disusea.

[32:21] And the morning April, William, Michael, Marilyn and Justin.

[32:26] My number one goal in dream is just to be a dad.

[32:30] I haven't seen my son in seven years.

[32:32] I've been fighting in family court for 11 and a half years.

[32:36] I'm sorry.

[32:37] Can you state the item you're here to speak on today?

[32:40] Just about the STR.

[32:42] Basically.

[32:43] Item 42.

[32:44] Yes.

[32:45] And what I'm basically going with that is my goal and dream is to be a dad.

[32:50] And without STR, I'm super grateful for Airbnb because without that, there's no way I could pursue to be a father to my son.

[32:59] I've been fighting in family court for so long and it's impossible to be a father.

[33:05] Everybody views you as Darth Vader.

[33:08] And I've never been violent, never threatened violence, never done drugs, all positive reviews.

[33:13] And that's like my passion.

[33:16] And it's like if it weren't for Airbnb, there's no way I could continue that fight.

[33:21] It's impossible.

[33:23] And that's pretty much everything.

[33:26] So I'm very grateful for what you guys have allowed.

[33:29] You know, it might not seem like much to a lot of us.

[33:32] But for me, it's the world because that's all I want.

[33:35] It's just to be a dad.

[33:37] So thank you very much.

[33:39] Thank you.

[33:40] Anyone else wishing to speak on items on today's agenda?

[33:43] Please come forward.

[33:45] State the agenda item you're here to speak on.

[33:57] Good morning, Eric King, long time resident.

[33:59] This is item 44.

[34:00] I'm a guy who's the appointment of Mr. All slang.

[34:03] And I'm probably saying his name wrong.

[34:05] But he is being appointed to the state land use planning advisory council thing.

[34:10] Goodness, we have one.

[34:11] And I would like to request publicly that there be greater consideration on such council for storm water before it becomes a new sense.

[34:23] This may seem way off topic, but we're probably missing more than a million trees that would be existing right now in our valley.

[34:30] If we had attended to that many years ago.

[34:34] And I have cordially and courtesy brought it up to a number of officials, government officials over the years.

[34:41] I'm currently refocused some of my efforts to on behalf of those trees that don't exist and that could.

[34:49] And on behalf of the ones that are dying or maybe dead soon because of some policies I know that we're changing regards to grass and trees that don't do too well when they don't have more soil on them.

[35:03] But these are discussions I would think that could be attended to more fully and more broadly in solutions oriented approaches.

[35:13] So such trees 10, 20, 30 years from now do exist.

[35:17] Maybe a million or more of them with great design, great discussion and very informed caring people who have some weight behind whatever decisions they make.

[35:29] For those trees to exist and for really lives of humans and other wildlife to exist because of those trees.

[35:37] We don't exist right now. We stay here and again I would like to note that I don't hug trees, but I do value them greatly.

[35:47] And I thank them on occasion for my life.

[35:53] So I cherish that you all we consider what I'm describing as a additional inclusion of more wisdom of how we attend.

[36:06] To the life here in our valley that is ever each year more stressed with more threats.

[36:14] Demingly to it though we've gotten the violent crime down thankfully.

[36:19] But I'm talking about the council and considerations that they would have possibly by direction by leadership because you all saw value.

[36:28] I'm sure you do to some degree and I'm a champion for in particular the trees that could exist because of how we treat the storm water before it becomes a nuisance.

[36:38] And meets with many million dollar budget items that thankfully have approved to protect the citizenry.

[36:46] But most of the involved channelizing the water.

[36:51] And let's let's talk about things we could do without water before it gets to that point.

[36:56] Or even when it's in transit and thank you Mr. King. Next speaker please.

[37:03] Good morning.

[37:05] My name is Amy Graff. I'm here for the STR article 42 as well.

[37:09] If you could just lift that back up. Thank you.

[37:13] I find it very this proposal very unfair.

[37:17] I don't think that the way the current licensing process has been put together is going to be put together enough for the Airbnb or for the other platforms to guarantee that when they contact the commission or the county to see what exactly on file.

[37:37] What is current, what is not current. We don't have anything right now that even shows that.

[37:42] You know, the only thing that we see are like really old records that have not been updated.

[37:47] And then you're going to ask these platforms to verify a business for us that takes.

[37:53] You know, it's not like people just say, hey, I'm going to come and stay in the STR.

[37:57] It takes usually like two months for people to plan this out.

[38:01] They don't just impossibly come in. We have to actually, you know, have our months open for long periods of time in order to ensure we have bookings.

[38:10] And that's the only way we get money from that.

[38:13] You know, we don't, you know, we do our best to get consistent bookings so that we're always having income come in.

[38:20] But if you're going to have the platform set us down because they can't verify a license and a timely manner, that means our business now is stuck like six months out.

[38:29] So I just got on it very unfair. I think that if if Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, if they were able to get their act together and figure out how to do a license process and Clark County should do that as well.

[38:40] We're very, you know, we are unincorporated.

[38:43] But we have our own rights here too. And I would really appreciate it if you would just reconsider this and just allow us to have a business within this county. Thank you.

[38:52] Thank you very much.

[38:59] Morning. My name is Cheryl Woods. I'm a owner of a short term rental eight years now.

[39:07] I've been a few, I've been to a few of the meetings here. I recognize faces here. Please stop persecuting us and allow us to earn a living.

[39:18] I'm concerned what will happen if you put the injection in junction in place.

[39:25] This is where my living has been for the last eight years. You're going to take this away.

[39:36] I pay my taxes. I do the right thing. I maintain the property. I make sure my guests are well screened.

[39:50] This injection in junction goes into place. I mean, lose all that I've worked for for the last eight years.

[39:59] I've worked so hard over the last eight years to maintain the rules that you guys have said in place by

[40:12] not having a party house, making sure my guests are well taken care of. I can show you statements from guests, previous guests, repeat guests.

[40:26] And they do support the economy around the area I'm in.

[40:33] I'm a little foggy. If you guys could please explain what this injection will do.

[40:41] I mean, I'm licensed and you're going to stop me from the people I have on my books for the rest of the year,

[40:49] or can you please let me know how this process is going to work and how this will affect me. Thank you.

[40:57] Thank you very much. We're not allowed to discuss right now. I'm 42. We'll come up after the consent agenda.

[41:06] Thank you for your consideration.

[41:09] Thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak on items on today's agenda? Please come forward.

[41:14] Seeing no one else close the public hearing. Turn over to manager Schiller.

[41:19] Good morning, commissioners.

[41:21] I mean, first item is approval of the minutes of the regular meeting on July 7th, 2026.

[41:26] Mr. Chair, I'm going to approve the July 7th, 2026 meeting minutes.

[41:30] Thank you. There's a motion by commissioner McCurdy, please cast your vote.

[41:35] That motion passes.

[41:37] Your next item is approval of the agenda with the inclusion of any emergency items and deletion of item.

[41:42] Any item staff has no recommendations related to the agenda.

[41:46] Mr. Chair, I'd like to ask that agenda at number 34 be heard separately.

[41:52] Thank you. You want to go ahead and make a motion with?

[41:55] Oh, yes. Sorry to motion to approve the agenda.

[41:57] There's a motion to approve the agenda with a request for item 34 to be heard separately.

[42:03] Please cast your vote.

[42:06] That motion passes.

[42:11] Commissioners, next is your approval of the consent agenda.

[42:14] Consisting of items number 5 through 41.

[42:18] I'm going to approve the item five to 41.

[42:23] And just to clarify your motion, it will also be taking 34 separately.

[42:28] 34 will be taken separately.

[42:30] Thank you. There's a motion for approval of the consent agenda.

[42:33] 5 through 41 with item 34 being heard separately. Please cast your vote.

[42:40] That motion passes.

[42:42] Commissioners, we can have moved item 34, which is to ratify the transmission of Clark County's FY 2021.

[42:48] 27 through 231 capital improvement program to the Clark County cleric.

[42:52] And the State Department of Taxation made an advance of board approval, board approval,

[42:56] to meet the statutory filing deadline and approve and adopt the FY 2021 capital improvement program.

[43:03] Mr. Jones.

[43:05] Thank you very much.

[43:06] Can I get clarification on given that there's already been transmitted to the state if a ratification

[43:11] needs to occur today, or if it can be held to another date?

[43:18] Since it is a ratification, if you guys want to hold this item, it could be held.

[43:22] All right.

[43:23] Given that this is a proposal to ratify the proposed capital improvement program,

[43:30] totaling nearly $5.4 billion.

[43:34] I think it would benefit the board to hear some additional discussion.

[43:39] In the CIP, it describes the rating system that went into these recommendations.

[43:45] I don't know that that's really been discussed much with the board as to how those projects were scored.

[43:54] And, frankly, it feels like we deliberate more over $500 than we do over $5 billion sometimes.

[44:00] And I think it would be, behooved the board to receive a presentation about what went into the capital improvement program,

[44:08] given that this board's input role is to set the policy and budget for the county.

[44:15] I think that would be beneficial.

[44:17] So I make a motion to hold it for two weeks.

[44:20] Thank you.

[44:21] There's a motion that item 34 be held until Tuesday, August 18, please cast your vote.

[44:32] That motion passes.

[44:34] Thank you, Commissioner Jones.

[44:36] Thank you, Commissioner Schiller.

[46:04] And providing for other matters properly related there, too, and set of public hearing.

[46:08] Thank you, Minister Schiller. I just want, since we got some public input on this item, I just want to be clear.

[46:14] The only action before us today is for me to set the public hearing and to introduce the ordinance.

[46:20] That's been read into the record. It would come back for August 18, Ms. Lugston. Is that accurate?

[46:27] That is correct. I'm August 18. They'll be an opportunity for public hearing on the item.

[46:32] Very good. So at this time, I will simply introduce the ordinance and set the public hearing for Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 10 a.m., where there will be that public hearing and opportunity to speak again.

[46:57] Ms. Lugston.

[46:58] Ms. Lugston.

[46:59] Ms. Lugston.

[47:00] Ms. Lugston.

[47:05] Seeing none, we can move to item 44.

[47:08] Next item is to nominate Jason Oswing to serve a three year term on the state land use planning advisory council.

[47:20] Thank you, Commissioner McCurdy. There is a motion. Please cast your vote.

[47:29] The motion passes.

[47:30] Commissioner, your next item is to consider and approve the business impact statement.

[47:41] abide by the duty set forth in this chapter as a condition of licensure or vanilla the license.

[47:46] Clarifying the basis of calculation of the annual license fee for heavy licenses from accepting or facilitating the payment of compensation for the rental of a short-term rental unit.

[47:57] I'm sorry, manager. Just to interrupt. I see there's some people leaving who commented on STR's.

[48:02] You might want to stick around just one more minute just to hear from Mr. Harwell on the item that's being read in right now.

[48:08] Sorry, manager Schiller.

[48:10] Okay.

[48:11] Unless it has been verified that the STR is properly licensed and requiring that verification be by means of an electronic verification system.

[48:18] If such a system is established and maintained requiring licenses to include certain information on STR listings.

[48:23] Authored by the licensee requiring licensee to deviate and STR listing when the STR is not properly licensed by the county.

[48:30] Clarifying that licenses may not may only collect transient lodging taxes for an STR requiring the retention of records by the licensee is relating to the submission of transient lodging taxes and lieu of monthly reporting requirements.

[48:42] Revising the procedures governing the service of subpoenas, clarifying the procedures and the basis for revocation, suspension, condition, limitation or nominal licenses, providing for the issuance of notices of violation and civil penalties for violations of section 7.110.0307.10.080 and 7.110.090 of this chapter.

[49:06] Repealing provisions governing enforcement actions which are duplicative title one of this code and providing for other matters properly related there too.

[49:13] Thank you. Good morning, Mr. Harwell.

[49:15] Good morning, chair commissioners. Mike Harwell for business license.

[49:19] The notification for this ordinance was sent out to all the chambers of commerce, credit associations and all the.

[49:27] A combination of facilitators, the both license and some that we're not have not been licensed yet.

[49:33] We received 90 comments, none from the any of the combination of facilitators, but all from individual people of the 93 were in opposition.

[49:45] The main issues were that we that we do not have a reliable verification process to verify the licenture of a STR.

[49:57] Second one was many of the SCR owners that have applied for license in 2022 are still waiting for a final opinion on their status of the licent application.

[50:08] And the fact and the third is the fact that we've not reopened the application process.

[50:13] The consensus was in of the opposition was that they we postpone adopting this ordinance until those things have been accomplished.

[50:23] There were 35 other comments that were received that didn't really directly address the issue of the ordinance, but we're more supportive of the industry probably from STR owners.

[50:36] They're expressed their support for the industry itself, but not really related to the ordinance that they rely on that for income or whatever, so I'm here for any other questions you might have.

[50:52] Thank you very much other questions from the board.

[50:57] John, thank you. We can take action on this item.

[51:02] Our proof of the business impact statement. Thank you. There's a motion. Please cast your vote.

[51:09] That motion passes and for the audience, I believe that is the last STR related item on today's agenda. Thank you.

[51:15] Thank you.

[51:17] Commissioner, your next items to receive report from Clark County's, and I'm voting member on the Clark County School District Board of Trustees.

[51:26] Thank you very much. We'll give trustee Satori a moment to make a way down.

[51:48] Good morning, trustee. Thank you for being back with us.

[51:51] Good morning, Chair and staff members of the Commission. We solicitory for the record of point of trustee representing an incorporated Clark County.

[51:57] Today's update focuses on readiness for the upcoming 2627 school year. We're all excited and getting ready for back to school.

[52:05] We're going to get measurable progress in areas where continued county district coordination matters most.

[52:12] I'll begin with the standing priorities established by the Commission, then share current staffing and safety data.

[52:23] Support for students, graduation outcomes, engagement work and keyboard actions.

[52:28] And these remain the priorities guiding my work as a county appointee trustee.

[52:32] The updates that follow align most directly with teacher vacancies, student safety and support, transparent reporting, school choice and authentic community engagement.

[52:41] We will start off with and open schools, open doors update because we've been discussing that a lot over the past.

[52:48] So I did had been asking for a meeting to take place. I was updated that on July 9th, CCSD government relations was able to meet with Commissioner Jones.

[52:57] So it's pleased to hear that took place.

[52:59] The discussion centered on public access, safety, share costs and feasibility.

[53:04] The county's rest openness to shared costs. Patrick Almeda will work with Brandon McLaughlin and CCSD facilities to identify approximately 10 schools.

[53:14] In areas with the greatest access need and estimate custodial wear and tear and related costs.

[53:21] The parties are using the 2019 agreement as the starting point and CCSD has sent it to the county for revision.

[53:28] So I know it is under revisions currently, but once finalized it can serve as a template for other local municipalities.

[53:34] So I want to ask if there was any input there from thank you Commissioner Jones for taking part in that.

[53:43] Destination district and I do have these handles for you as well.

[53:48] I'm providing printing copies of CCSD's 26, 26 to 2031 strategic plan today.

[53:55] The plan defines the destination district through three priorities, academic excellence, career connected learning and durable skills and safe and supportive schools.

[54:04] By 2031 the district is targeting substantial growth and literacy and mathematics, marketable assets for every graduate and strong student reported safety and connection.

[54:14] The website on the slide provides the full plan and it's also available on our website in English and Spanish and supporting materials for families, students, educators and community partners.

[54:23] So this is a document that we've been working on for some time, but it does lay out very specifically it has some very lofty goals, but definitely superintendent,

[54:30] ebert thinks that they are very achievable in that time frame.

[54:38] This is a big highlight, licensed vacancies are at a 10 year low.

[54:42] It's one of the clearest indicators of readiness for the school year and so this is really putting us in a good place to start the year.

[54:48] Good positive momentum, good climate as well, having licensed teachers in the building.

[54:52] License classroom vacancies have fallen from 1,371 on the first day of 2023 school year.

[54:59] To 324 on the first day of the 2526 school year and as of July 17, it was approximately 160 positions for this school year, but I know last I heard it was 152 and probably lower by this point.

[55:13] So we're looking to get it into the double digits.

[55:16] This is the lowest vacancy level at this point in the year and more than a decade.

[55:25] And we did a lot of surveying last year, it was definitely the year of the survey trying to get a lot of feedback to in community engagement sessions as well.

[55:32] The district wide survey showed overall gains in both safety and connection for our students, with especially strong improvement at the middle and high school level.

[55:40] So that was really key to see if there's been a lot of focus on safety at those secondary levels.

[55:44] Operational data reinforces that trend, weapons related infractions fell 29%, fighting fell 17% and threats fell 9% compared with the prior year.

[55:54] The district is expanding our student town halls.

[55:57] We have many of those student town halls going on throughout the district and we are expanding those to be able to get more student voice.

[56:02] Superintendent Evert is very big on student voice and reaching out to students and getting their impact, particularly on the area of safety.

[56:08] Continuing school justice collaboration with school police Metro juvenile justice services in the district attorney's office.

[56:14] And we are very thankful to the commission for all of your hard work as well for our student safety and all of the back to school initiatives and student supplies and helmets and all of those things we really appreciate your support there.

[56:31] The longer literacy and foster care supports we talked a lot about the needs and foster care and how we can better support those families.

[56:37] CCSD and legal aid of Southern Nevada region agreement that strengthens foster care services and literacy supports district wide.

[56:45] The agreement as coordination and oversight without impacting the general fund requires an audit of academic plans for students in foster care and strengthens dyslexia and IEP procedures.

[56:56] Separately project rise provides screening diagnostic assessment intervention and family progress reporting for students with persistent foundational reading difficulties.

[57:10] And good news the class of 2026 reported more than $380 million in scholarships and we were busy in graduation season celebrating all of those students.

[57:20] 281 million in merit aid and 98 million in the minimum scholarships. So this total reflects the scale of opportunity created across comprehensive rural magnet career and technical and college high school programs.

[57:39] And this has been a big marketing campaign as well expanding just the awareness in the community of what your local school has to offer you the marketing in the past probably has not really been highlighting what is what is writing your own backyard what are with our open enrollment now.

[57:53] What other options do you have just down the road a little ways or to us to so it's really expanding options for families and educating them more and marketing for more of what our schools have to offer.

[58:03] So it's extending its outreach beyond the traditional magnet we've always you know advertised magnet schools and marketed those but now it's it's every school.

[58:12] The current phase uses English and Spanish language digital social media radio and billboard advertising including 25 billboard locations and an estimated 600,000 digital impressions.

[58:24] The campaign uses existing resources identified through reorganization and will be monitored for return on investment.

[58:34] And our community engagement updates we really enjoyed doing those last year and look forward to continuing those and hearing in our community.

[58:40] We reviewed attendance and operational lessons from the first year of holding these meetings.

[58:45] Hybrid meetings generated the strongest participation averaging 116 participants.

[58:50] 26 in person and 90 online views virtual only meetings average 22 participants while in person only meetings average 20 and I did a couple of both of those but the virtual was a very.

[59:03] We kind of enjoyed doing that platform it was nice to be able to I said I think if we do it more often to we can get more more.

[59:11] Response to it as well but the hybrid meetings are a great option that way there's option to attend in person or to get it online.

[59:18] For for the upcoming year the 26 27 school year and we're looking at moving to one meeting per month giving each trustee one dedicated meeting allows an in person or virtual format and ensures every meeting is recorded and posted online the following day.

[59:35] And the Clark County representative meeting is scheduled for February of 27.

[59:43] The board unanimously adopted the fiscal year 27 final budget with an 8.56 billion dollar in net authorized spending across all funds.

[59:53] An independent educational operational efficiency study identified opportunities for up to 80 million dollars.

[1:00:00] Recurring annual general fund savings, compared with a $1.4 million one-time study cost to make that happen.

[1:00:08] Those are identified opportunities, not yet realize savings, implementation and follow-through will be essential to actually see that $80 million into action.

[1:00:21] The Board approved the superintendent evaluation process for the 2627 school year.

[1:00:25] The focus targets will be selected at a future meeting, followed by a major review, progress review, and some of the evaluation.

[1:00:32] They will, however, be focused on these priorities in the strategic plan and very specific to those.

[1:00:37] The Board is also developing legislative priorities for the 27 session and bills refer to be submitted by September 1st with a full legislative platform anticipated later this year.

[1:00:50] Like I said, we're gearing up for this school year. It's an exciting time and teachers are coming back tomorrow. We can be more excited and lots of back to school events and we'll start on Monday.

[1:01:00] So, are you entertained any questions?

[1:01:02] Thank you, Trustee. Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

[1:01:04] Thank you, Mr. Tory, and I can't thank you enough for all the extra work that you've done and you always, we know more about what our students are doing today than we've ever known until I attribute that to you.

[1:01:18] So, can I ask this question?

[1:01:22] You know, I'm pretty connected in the community, but I've never seen my school board trustee ever.

[1:01:28] So, imagine if I haven't, how many other people in my district haven't, is there not a way, and I meet with principals.

[1:01:36] We have a, in our district, we have a group, we meet with the Northwest principals and we meet with the Northeast principals and we meet with the principals in the Bar East.

[1:01:47] So, we kind of always know what their needs are, right? So, it's that wraparound.

[1:01:52] Where can we help you, where can we connect you?

[1:01:55] But, is there a way, and I get it, everybody has other jobs and other things to do, but is there a way that maybe we could meet with our trustees?

[1:02:02] Could you arrange that? I'm happy to call you, but I feel like you work for all seven of us and you do your homework.

[1:02:10] If they could just give me an idea of what they're trying to do.

[1:02:16] It would be helpful, because then maybe we can move, move mountains even more.

[1:02:22] Absolutely, I'm happy to meet with any of you any time, but yeah, I will definitely pass that along, that there's interest to connect with the trustees for each of your districts as well.

[1:02:31] Well, it was because of you and the superintendent that helped me get the principals to the table, right?

[1:02:35] Because they were meeting with all the other entities, but not with Clark County.

[1:02:39] So, you've already moved to mountains. I think there's other people that have the responsibility to move to mountains too.

[1:02:45] So, thank you for what you do, and I'm excited for this year.

[1:02:48] I will tell you that both of my grandkids are back in public schools.

[1:02:52] So, we're trying this, it's our choice thing, and we're trying different, and it's nice to see that every neighborhood has a wazoo opportunity for every kid.

[1:03:04] And I think that's what's been missing for the longest time.

[1:03:07] You were chosen one for the magnet school. You did great.

[1:03:10] The other neighborhoods, but I have not seen any, any middle schools that don't have something unique and different that kids have choices now.

[1:03:20] So, I'll be your biggest advocate, or your biggest learning your side, but I'll tell you the truth.

[1:03:27] Thank you, Commissioner Jones.

[1:03:29] Thank you, Chair. I just want to say thank you for the follow up on open doors up in schools, but also thank you for coming to Child Haven.

[1:03:35] Taking a tour and really trying to problem solve some of the issues that we have over there.

[1:03:40] We know in DFS it's a challenge, and we appreciate the work that you're doing to try and find solutions so we can serve those kids that are in a situation that don't really want to be in.

[1:03:50] So, thank you.

[1:03:52] And I'll end with one more thank you, which is the work and the partnership that the school district has done with our Office of Traffic Safety,

[1:04:01] to be gearing up to the school year. Nothing like that has ever happened historically in Southern Nevada.

[1:04:07] It's a big deal.

[1:04:09] And thank you for the role that you've played in that in the superintendent.

[1:04:13] It's a huge priority of ours on this board.

[1:04:17] And I know that we're carrying that through with some action, literally as we speak.

[1:04:21] So, thank you, and tonight I believe you all will be hearing the presentation that we received recently related to the working groups conclusion and their report.

[1:04:30] So, thank you for that.

[1:04:33] If there is nothing further, thank you for being here. Good luck in the coming days.

[1:04:38] Commissioner, next item is to receive a report regarding the conditions of confinement at county jail facilities to include the desk of any inmates in custody or take other action as appropriate.

[1:04:48] Thank you.

[1:04:51] We'll give deputy chief a moment to join us.

[1:04:55] Good morning.

[1:04:59] Good morning.

[1:05:00] Greetings, chief chair Nat and the rest of the and the all commissioners. I'm sorry.

[1:05:08] So, I am deputy chief, she repage and I am deputy chief over the detention services division with with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

[1:05:19] I oversee operations for the Clark County detention center, North Valley Complex and the Tucker Holding Facility.

[1:05:24] So, today I am presenting the I annual report for the conditions of confinement to include in custody desk for the reporting period of jail life.

[1:05:38] January 1, 2026 to mace first.

[1:05:42] No, to June 9th of 2026.

[1:05:47] So, our vision at the detention services division is to be the safest jail in America.

[1:05:53] Our mission is to set the standard for American jails.

[1:05:56] And our department, why values is the acronym I care which stands for integrity, courage, accountability, respect, excellence.

[1:06:07] The numbers, the data given for our capacities is the total capacity for each facility.

[1:06:13] Our Clark County detention center has a capacity of over 3,000 inmates.

[1:06:17] Our North Valley Complex has capacity for over 1,000 inmates.

[1:06:22] Our Tucker Holding Facility has a capacity of 40 and our electronic monitoring program has a capacity of 950 inmates.

[1:06:32] The data being presented to you for our booking and housing numbers represent a reporting period from June of 2025 to May of 2026.

[1:06:41] Our total bookings were over just over 51,000.

[1:06:45] Our total releases were also over 51,000.

[1:06:49] Our average length of stay is about 20 days and our average daily population was about 2600.

[1:06:59] During this current reporting period, we had a total of 4 in custody desks.

[1:07:04] All 4 desks were male and each death occurred in the hospital.

[1:07:12] The causes of death for 3 of the 4 cases are still pending.

[1:07:17] The medical examiner's report.

[1:07:19] The first case, the desks was experienced.

[1:07:23] The medical episode was transported to the hospital and remain hospitalized until his death.

[1:07:31] You will also note there that there was one inmate that was absentia, which means that he, upon his arrest, he had medical,

[1:07:40] needed medical attention and was taken directly to the hospital.

[1:07:44] He never entered into the facility.

[1:07:49] Our South Tower of Innovation is still ongoing.

[1:07:52] We are currently in phase 3.

[1:07:54] We have completed floors 5 and 6.

[1:07:57] The fourth floor has been taken completely out of service.

[1:08:01] And the picture that depicts here is of our lobby area.

[1:08:05] This area serves as the primary public entrance into the facility.

[1:08:09] And the redesign of this space enhances our safety and security.

[1:08:13] And efficiently allows us to screen all individuals coming into the facility.

[1:08:18] And this completes concludes my presentation.

[1:08:22] Thank you, Chief.

[1:08:23] Are there any questions from the board?

[1:08:25] If there's not, I'll just add my thanks to you since you've been in this role.

[1:08:30] Within moments you've allowed me to come see you at the county jail to get my questions answered.

[1:08:36] Vice versa.

[1:08:37] You've come over here very quickly.

[1:08:39] You've called after nearly every incident.

[1:08:41] Clear it up any questions that I've had.

[1:08:44] And I thank you for that.

[1:08:46] Really glad you're in this role.

[1:08:47] You are so very welcome and I am happy to serve.

[1:08:50] Thank you.

[1:08:51] Thank you.

[1:08:52] Have a great day.

[1:08:53] You too.

[1:08:54] All right.

[1:08:55] This brings us to our final item of the day.

[1:08:57] Is that correct?

[1:08:58] That is correct.

[1:08:59] Your next items to receive a report on proposals for bill draft for Quest BDRs for the

[1:09:03] 2027 Nevada State Legislative session.

[1:09:06] Determine the final BDRs to be included in the county bill package.

[1:09:10] Direct staff to transmit the BDRs to the legislative council bureau and take any action as deemed appropriate.

[1:09:15] Thank you.

[1:09:16] Good morning.

[1:09:17] Good morning chair.

[1:09:18] Good morning commissioners.

[1:09:19] Joanna Jacob.

[1:09:20] Government director for Clark County.

[1:09:23] Here.

[1:09:24] It is that time of the year to talk about our bill draft requests before the 27 legislative session.

[1:09:32] As a reminder, just for the audience, we get four.

[1:09:35] Clark County can introduce four.

[1:09:37] Sponsored bills and we must file them with the LCB by September 1st.

[1:09:42] So I'm going to present staff recommendation for your consideration.

[1:09:48] Really covering a wide spectrum of issues related to workforce, consumer protection, the Las Vegas strip conditions

[1:09:56] and proposed changes to the structure, operation of our public and administrative office.

[1:10:01] So I'm going to go through four.

[1:10:03] The four proposals.

[1:10:05] Chair.

[1:10:06] And then I'll pause and see for discussion.

[1:10:08] After the four proposals.

[1:10:09] I do have a brief update on bills that we've submitted to the interim legislative process committees.

[1:10:14] If you would like to hear that.

[1:10:16] So I'm starting with the first one.

[1:10:18] The workforce bill is really for our corners office.

[1:10:23] This is going to be a bill proposal to allow a treating physician or a medical provider to sign a

[1:10:31] certificate if someone passed away from the condition that they were treated for.

[1:10:38] It is modeled after laws like this in other states.

[1:10:42] It will help to address the workforce issues in our corners office.

[1:10:46] She's a very busy woman and we think that the intent here just to make it very clear is to cover

[1:10:55] outside of the hospital setting.

[1:10:58] And we would exempt.

[1:11:00] This would not apply in emergency or urgent care situations.

[1:11:04] And is intended to still maintain the corners authority to conduct a post-mortem exam when needed,

[1:11:10] such as in occurrences of violence or suspicious deaths.

[1:11:14] The second one is what I see as a consumer protection issue.

[1:11:19] We come up in emerging issues over the year, especially because of the leadership of Commissioner

[1:11:24] Corporate.

[1:11:26] And this is addressing utility charges for in leases.

[1:11:33] I guess at this point in passing through property tax to tenants.

[1:11:39] The bill proposal would be intended to address quasi public utilities that are not otherwise regulated.

[1:11:47] And we could model existing protections in other statutes that the legislature has already enacted to protect

[1:11:55] residents in mobile home parks.

[1:11:57] The intent here is transparency for our community.

[1:12:01] The large number of our constituents who rent and have been subject to excessive fees.

[1:12:07] And that we would provide for the actual cost of the utilities.

[1:12:13] And that is, I'm sure Commissioner Corporate may have some additional comments when we go to discussion.

[1:12:21] The third item is the strip proposal is intended to address illegal mobile billboards operating,

[1:12:29] largely on the Las Vegas strip.

[1:12:32] And the bill would be to allow or authorize Metro to tow someone who is operating in violation of our ordinance

[1:12:42] and was not complying with our ordinance.

[1:12:45] And the last one that I would like to submit for your review does make updates as I mentioned to the operation of the public and

[1:12:52] administrators office would not apply to the current public administrator but to the future.

[1:12:58] The future holder of that office.

[1:13:02] We the proposal would enable the county to pass an ordinance.

[1:13:07] Really to require sharing of data and regular reporting to the board upon request and authorize the board to take action on that information.

[1:13:20] This would more is intended to allow greater collaboration with other county departments.

[1:13:25] For example, our DA or we intend to also try to include something again for our corner that there would be the authority for the board to adopt a

[1:13:37] Minimumist property value that the corner could then take the disposition of that property.

[1:13:44] And it wouldn't have to go through a public administrator office, which can cause delays.

[1:13:48] So that is the four bill at staff recommendations.

[1:13:54] Chair, I'll pause there and see if there's any direction or discussion from the board.

[1:13:59] Thank you.

[1:14:00] We'll go ahead and open up discussion on the four items that have been presented.

[1:14:08] Okay, so if there is no further discussion, we will take as direction for proposals that have been brought to us.

[1:14:15] One related to workforce in the coroner's office, the second consumer protections.

[1:14:21] Three mobile billboard towing for updates to the oversight of the PA office.

[1:14:29] Thank you, Chair.

[1:14:30] I do have a brief update for the interim committees.

[1:14:34] If you would like to hear that, just to let you know, we we get the four bills, but we also have been monitoring our interim committee structure.

[1:14:44] That has been going on over the past year.

[1:14:47] Just wanted to make you aware that there are several bills that have been submitted for possible consideration by those legislative committees.

[1:14:54] One of which we, I don't know of trust to you.

[1:14:57] Satoria still here, but we will keep her in full.

[1:15:00] I did let her know that we had submitted the proposal from the school traffic safety report recently given to the board for e-bikes and e-scooters.

[1:15:12] And then we also have a number of bills that we submitted to interim health for possible consideration in the space of child welfare.

[1:15:22] So I will report back, I guess, on that, that is for possible action next week on August 11th.

[1:15:32] And it is intended to address some of the issues for our Clark County departments in the operation of services for child welfare.

[1:15:40] So I will stop there. And I think I've received accurate live direction. I thank you for hearing this item.

[1:15:49] Before you thank us, Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

[1:15:51] I think it join us, so maybe you could also give the commissioners the five BDR set in NACO.

[1:15:59] Because I think those are pretty important to us whether it be the Medicaid dollars, whether it be, so all those things we've worked on.

[1:16:09] There's there's NACO is thank you, Commissioner Kirkpatrick. I don't have the total list, so I'm sure hopefully you'll help me on there, but I do know that NACO does get up to five bills that they're going to submit.

[1:16:21] Two of those are bills that are important at once. I think for Clark County operations, one is to address, you know, is come up through the years that Clark County provides a substantial form of the non federal payment for Medicaid.

[1:16:38] For the state of Nevada as a whole. And one of the issues is on pharmacy rebates that we are working with the state and NACO on how that is a portion for the portion of Clark County's contribution.

[1:16:54] The second one has to do with emergency management funding that's important to our Clark County Department of Emergency Management.

[1:17:03] It is intended to address and propose some local funding that could be used for emergency management. This is a field that has been, it's main national news. Some of the funding has been delayed and our Clark County Department handles quite, you know, I know that they do a lot.

[1:17:28] And emergency management for regional services for our community. And so this would be an apportionment to the proposals and apportionment for the funding for counties across the state and Clark County would benefit from that.

[1:17:46] I don't know if Commissioner McCormack, if there's other that other bills who would like me to talk about, those two are our particular importance to Clark County.

[1:17:54] No, those two are the most important in my book, but I'll make sure that when I think NACO is coming next at the end of August, they'll make sure that the new executive director talks about those.

[1:18:09] Thank you for the reminder, NACO is actually scheduled to come and give an update to to the board in an upcoming meeting and we will work with them and make sure that they present those bills to you.

[1:18:22] See now there for nothing further. Thank you very much. You've got direction. We appreciate you streamlining so many good and important ideas. Thank you. Thank you.

[1:18:32] Thank you chair.

[1:18:33] At this time, we can move to our final opportunity for public comment on items that come before the Clark County Commission. Please come forward, state your name for the record. You may speak for up to three minutes.

[1:18:53] Eric King, long time resident, thank you steamed leaders for all that you do to help the community and take note of it for granted.

[1:19:02] I'd like to expound upon comments I made earlier today and days before in more detailed way actually constructive manner about how ambitious goals that I've described a million plus trees.

[1:19:21] Other cities have such goals. I've spoken with at least one of the commissioners about that city and those goals.

[1:19:29] A million plus trees is a large number for adding to what we have already planned and budgeted or intended to be budgeted.

[1:19:43] And I made a comment. How do we get there? We all want more trees. We all know we need more trees. How do we make that work?

[1:19:53] One way that we could help make that work as it described was treating storm water is more than a nuisance, waiting to be channelized and rushed out of our town and our valley into the lake where it unfortunately evaporates at around 12% loss I understand.

[1:20:12] And annually, which is a large loss. And normally more than the water that falls on our valley here are water sheds is lost in Lake Meads of Operations.

[1:20:24] So how could we protect that water each year and actually make it a plus to our water table and so forth well, constructing well known and well designed and well implemented all around the world for

[1:20:40] thousand plus years in places like Petra of Indiana Jones fame and all kinds of other places that are really hot dry rocks where people try to live and not die.

[1:20:52] Experiencing droughts for all those times that before our city began, we could on a micro project by micro project basis.

[1:21:03] Below, even a hundred thousand dollars, the millions of dollars we spent to channelize water on each project that we do that for.

[1:21:11] We could take that rain, soak it into the ground, higher up on the slope, let it infuse into the groundwater in a plume and each time it rains, whatever trees we plant below it before it gets to the channel.

[1:21:28] If there does it design trees, cacti things like that, all of which would cool the area around them shade the ground further cooling it.

[1:21:37] We could do that for pennies on the dollar of what we're spending right now to grow expand and channelize water.

[1:21:46] And I propose that a administrative letter of some sort, become into the works with citizen advisory to make that work. Cheers.

[1:21:58] Thank you. Good morning.

[1:22:00] Good morning commissioners, Stephanie Phillips, political affairs director with veterans and politics.

[1:22:06] More than one third of the airplane hanger owners at the North Las Vegas airport are veterans.

[1:22:13] Some have reached an age when they can no longer fly and want to sell their hangers so another aviation enthusiast can purchase and enjoy them.

[1:22:23] Most of these owners, their hangers represent a substantial personal investment and a significant portion of their assets.

[1:22:32] They are not multi-millionaires, they are ordinary people who have devoted much of their lives to aviation.

[1:22:38] Many served our country as fighter or bomber pilots in the United States Air Force.

[1:22:44] Unfortunately, they cannot reasonably sell their hangers because the Clark County Department of Aviation has not made long-term landlaces available to buyers.

[1:22:54] Without long-term leases, buyers cannot protect their investment.

[1:22:58] This uncertainty has severely reduced the value and marketability of these hangers, causing real economic harm to veterans and other taxpayers.

[1:23:09] The CCDOA has also failed to negotiate in good faith with the hanger owners, instead of working toward a fair and reasonable solution.

[1:23:17] It is now considering a reversion clause that could cause owners to lose the entire value of hangers they purchased, constructed and maintained with their own money.

[1:23:29] North Las Vegas airport encompasses approximately 930 acres, while these hangers occupy only about 30 acres.

[1:23:37] Federal funding for airport improvements should not be used as a reason to displace small general aviation operators in favor of more profitable jet operations.

[1:23:47] FAA grant assurance 22 requires federally obligated airports to remain available on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination among aeronautical users.

[1:24:00] Please direct the CCDOA to negotiate fairly and promptly renew or reissue reasonable long-term leases.

[1:24:09] Protect the airport while allowing hanger owners to preserve and transfer their investments.

[1:24:14] Please stand with Clark County's veterans, taxpayers, and general aviation community by providing the fairness and certainty they deserve.

[1:24:23] Thank you.

[1:24:24] Thank you very much.

[1:24:26] Good morning.

[1:24:30] Good morning.

[1:24:32] Chair and Commissioner, Steve Sands, the President of Veterans and Politics.

[1:24:36] I wanted to say happy birthday to Commissioner Thick, Cigabloom, wherever he is.

[1:24:41] I'm here today on behalf of many hanger owners at the North Las Vegas airport, including a large number of veterans.

[1:24:48] Imagine spending decades invest in your own money to build a maintain and hanger on lease airport land.

[1:24:55] You pay every bill, you maintain the property, you improve it.

[1:25:00] Then when your lease expires, your told at the government may simply take ownership of your hanger through a reversion clause.

[1:25:09] Whit no meaningful compensation.

[1:25:12] Most Americans would never accept that happen into their homes or business, yet that is exactly the concern facing many hanger owners today.

[1:25:23] More than one-third of these hangers are owned by veterans, men, women who serve this nation, defend it our constitution, and sacrifice to protect the very property rights we all enjoy.

[1:25:35] They should not have to fight their own local government to protect the investment they have spent a lifetime building.

[1:25:43] The North Las Vegas airport compasses approximately 930 acres.

[1:25:49] These privately financed hangers occupied only a small fraction of that property.

[1:25:55] This is not about a shortage of land.

[1:25:58] It is about fairness, certainty, and respect for the people who invest in this airport.

[1:26:05] The uncertainty surrounding these renewals is already pausing real economic harm.

[1:26:11] Owners who wish to retire or sell cannot do so because buyers are reluctant to purchase improvements without long-term lease security.

[1:26:23] Property values decline, retirement plans or disrupted years of investment are placed at risk.

[1:26:30] This situation did not arise overnight.

[1:26:33] These lease renewals should have been addressed years ago.

[1:26:37] Hanger owners should not bear the financial burden of government delays or change in policies.

[1:26:45] Clark County has also recognized the growing challenges facing veterans.

[1:26:50] Recent reports show veteran homelessness increasing at an alarming rate.

[1:26:56] Government policies should strengthen financial stability for veterans not create additional uncertainty by placing significant personal investment at risk.

[1:27:07] Commissioners.

[1:27:09] This issue is longer larger than airport policy.

[1:27:14] It is about whether Clark County honors fairness protects legitimate investments back except expectations and threats veterans and taxpayers.

[1:27:25] And tax payers and treat veterans and tax payers with respect they have earned.

[1:27:30] Thank you so much for your time.

[1:27:31] Thank you very much.

[1:27:33] Good morning.

[1:27:36] Tim Ross 2537 day spring street.

[1:27:39] Las Vegas Nevada speaking out about the North Las Vegas hanger leases.

[1:27:42] I'm also the aircraft owners and pilots of association representative for North Las Vegas Airport.

[1:27:47] Commissioners, there are some cornerstones of good faith negotiations.

[1:27:51] Jim Chrisley has violated all of these cornerstones.

[1:27:54] Although hiring a consultant we failed was a waste of time and money.

[1:27:58] Jim Chrisley insisted that they hire a consultant for $16,000.

[1:28:03] He agreed to allow us to help vet the selection of the consultant so we could find one acceptable to the CCDOA and us.

[1:28:12] After agreeing to this, Chrisley hired the consultant that we said was unacceptable to us.

[1:28:17] Now any information presented by this consultant should be considered invalid.

[1:28:23] And any meetings with this consultant should be in this chamber so that it meets the open meetings requirements.

[1:28:29] Not in private because they create policy behind closed doors.

[1:28:33] The hanger owners group lawyer, Jeff Lustig, let Mr. Chrisley know any reversion clause is unacceptable to us.

[1:28:39] And would not be signed.

[1:28:41] Not only did Mr. Chrisley hired the consultant that was unacceptable to us, he hired them to create a reversion clause, which is also unacceptable to us.

[1:28:51] Number three, Mr. Chrisley is repeatedly said he does not want to own our hangers.

[1:28:55] However, he hired a consultant to create this reversion clause and the reversion clause negates the statement about not owning our hangers.

[1:29:02] Because a reversion clause, according to the FAA, is a clause that states that personal property will revert to the airport ownership at the end of the lease without any further compensation.

[1:29:13] So Mr. Chrisley says he doesn't want our hangers and at the same time he's hiring someone to create a clause to take the hangers.

[1:29:19] Vince is risky previously told us that the FAA required a reversion clause. This is not true.

[1:29:26] There's a case named Clark V. Alamagordo that clearly explains that the FAA does not require a reversion clause.

[1:29:35] Mr. Chrisley is apparently unable to tell the truth and negotiate in good faith.

[1:29:40] I've created a petition to have Mr. Chrisley terminated if we do not get this lease by the end of August.

[1:29:46] And a hanger owners and the aviation community are happily signing it.

[1:29:51] And that is a except for some. Some are still so intimidated by Vince Azuzki in the past that they are afraid to stand up for themselves in sign-up.

[1:30:00] Attention. Imagine a person who is supposed to be a public servant, intimidating tenants, which are customers, so much that they are afraid to sign a petition because Ben might find out. Ben Suzuki. That should tell you something about the airport management in itself.

[1:30:15] I remove myself from the hangar owner group negotiating team, because I cannot sit with the CCDOA liars to negotiate. I hope the CCDOA finalizes the lease with the hangar owners group before the end of August.

[1:30:28] 31st, so I do not have to present a petition to terminate Mr. Chrisley's employment. Thank you.

[1:30:36] Thank you. Good morning.

[1:30:39] Good afternoon. I'm Shishanama resident. I'm here to urge the Commission again to end invocations, the praying at these government meetings, because this is not a church.

[1:30:47] But since you continue to advertise religion, let's talk about how gruesome it is. I have the Bible I've read it.

[1:30:53] And how this government body protects sexual abusers of children. Stay with me. And recent news, Arizona passed a law that gives immunity to child rapist abusers and murders to talk about their heinous crimes without legal consequence as long as that monster confesses his crimes to a church leader that stays a secret.

[1:31:12] Imagine that, in Arizona, six Mormon children were sexually abused by their father for years, and bishops from the Mormon church knew about it and did nothing, and the abuse continued.

[1:31:23] The Mormon church was thrilled when Arizona passed this law.

[1:31:27] Mormon's are also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Watterty Saints. Religion protects child abusers. That's not just Arizona. That's in Nevada. Guess what? Here in Clark County, the whole state.

[1:31:37] You protect child abusers, rapers, rapers, rapers, murderers and pedophiles, and the clergyman and the clergy women that know about it and keep it a secret.

[1:31:46] That's in a Nevada Revised Statutes, 432B, or 0.220.

[1:31:51] It even outlies the abuse. What can these monsters do to children under state law that it can be kept a secret with the clergy?

[1:31:58] The incest, physical, mental, injury, sexual exploitation, mutilating their genitals, state, domestic abuse and human trafficking, pornography, burning, cutting, biting, causing internal bleeding, fracturing their bones and skull and so on.

[1:32:13] That's in the state law.

[1:32:17] Let's go through the list of the clergy you bring in here who can keep those secrets.

[1:32:20] You bring in Reverend Will Rocker, Stacey Hilton, Chapman, Brian Scrogans, Pastor Adrian Dolls, Matthew.

[1:32:27] That's where we're going to draw the line. All right. You can go ahead with your comments. You don't have to name names of people who live in before us.

[1:32:34] And that's good for them to do. You can put your public comment without slainering.

[1:32:39] These are the people you bring in that are on the agenda. I'm reciting what's on the agenda.

[1:32:43] Pastor Rosito Lee, Reverend Christine Marsh, Rabbi Brad, Tech Teal, Rabbi Levi, Harlegg, D.K. Tomas Garcia, Tenema Few.

[1:32:50] You're a Bible in the clergy. You bring in here, protect those who do these horrible things to children.

[1:32:56] It's time to face the facts. Face yourself and face your own children.

[1:33:01] Tell them what happened in this meeting. Tell them what the law allows to protect these monsters.

[1:33:07] I urge you to stop bringing prayer, religion, and the clergy in these chambers who bylock and keep these secrets.

[1:33:13] And don't have to report them to the police. These are the most innocent, the babies, the toddlers, the children of this community.

[1:33:22] Honor, the separation of church and state. There are plenty of churches around here. People can go and believe this crap.

[1:33:28] And they can go and do it there. There's 70% of the municipalities and counties that don't bring prayer into these meetings.

[1:33:37] They respect and honor the separation of church and state. I urge you to do so and stop treating this as a house of worship.

[1:33:43] Thank you.

[1:33:46] Good morning.

[1:33:52] Good morning.

[1:33:53] Jess Myers, 4890 North Semoron, Roadless Vegas.

[1:33:57] I'm here to talk about the, you know, or ask about the lack of lease at the airport at North Las Vegas.

[1:34:04] I know you folks, you pointed a heck of a good guy, Mr. Chrisley. He's a very good person. He's knowledgeable about his job.

[1:34:13] But unfortunately, the airport is not going to be a jet airport for airline tight jets. It's too small.

[1:34:22] And if you do have a problem, it's going to look bad for all of you.

[1:34:25] So the problem I have asked, you're a very intelligent group. You have a very intelligent gentleman under you.

[1:34:32] Two years now, this lease has been in the air, can something be done.

[1:34:38] In other words, he is down below you. He can't make the decision. It comes back.

[1:34:43] So are you folks willing to set down and negotiate a lease?

[1:34:48] That's my question.

[1:34:51] When we had the airport during 9-11, one calendar year, we could not use the airport.

[1:34:59] Anger rent, everything went on.

[1:35:01] So the point is that we should have the lease. It should be extended.

[1:35:06] This reversion clause would be like making your last house payment and giving me the title.

[1:35:12] I don't think that go over who well, because I think you had all stand up and disagree with that.

[1:35:17] Is that right, Mr. Recready?

[1:35:19] Third, would that be right?

[1:35:21] We're not allowed to do back and forth.

[1:35:24] Well, I just noticed he wasn't paying any attention.

[1:35:27] The point is, if I took the title of your house upon the last payment, would you be happy?

[1:35:33] I don't think so.

[1:35:35] And this is all I've got to say about it.

[1:35:37] Thank you.

[1:35:38] And I was confirming Vice Chairman McCurdy has personally attended these meetings.

[1:35:43] Not to speak for you. Vice Chairman.

[1:35:46] Good morning.

[1:35:48] Good morning.

[1:35:49] I wrote a live in the Prairie Middle Street and a west part of town.

[1:35:52] Ms. April is my representative.

[1:35:54] And as I voted for you last few elections.

[1:35:56] I'm also here to talk about the hangers.

[1:35:58] Unfortunately, I have to apologize.

[1:36:00] I don't want to be here. I wish I wasn't here.

[1:36:02] But things have gotten worse since the last time I spoke with you guys.

[1:36:05] I asked you the same things everybody's asking.

[1:36:07] We're not demanding things.

[1:36:09] We're saying, please come to the negotiation table.

[1:36:11] In good faith and tell the truth.

[1:36:13] We're not getting that.

[1:36:15] And that's why we're all here today.

[1:36:17] Very angry.

[1:36:18] Well, you know Jeff Lustig.

[1:36:20] He has submitted proposals.

[1:36:22] Very common sense proposal.

[1:36:24] Some compromises, yes.

[1:36:26] He hasn't even had the courtesy of getting a red line report back.

[1:36:30] They're treating us like our opinions don't matter at all.

[1:36:33] And I think that's a mistake.

[1:36:35] Let's start with something good.

[1:36:37] Dr. Chrisley did come to a hangar meeting a month or so ago.

[1:36:40] And it was a hostile audience.

[1:36:42] The anger was palpable.

[1:36:43] He took it.

[1:36:44] He took it hard.

[1:36:47] We've been told that the leases would be renewed.

[1:36:50] This is one of their main defenses is will you sign the lease with an expiration date.

[1:36:54] We were told for decades, literally more than 10 years.

[1:36:57] Don't worry, the leases will be renewed.

[1:36:59] The price may go up with inflation, but the releases will be renewed.

[1:37:02] Now, as you've heard from everybody else, once these things are not renewed,

[1:37:05] we're all kind of screwed badly.

[1:37:08] There's some options here.

[1:37:11] There are some millionaires on the field.

[1:37:13] No question about it.

[1:37:14] Some of those planes cost a million.

[1:37:15] Okay, they can probably have the resources to hire lawyers.

[1:37:18] We could take a listing up probably for years.

[1:37:20] Nobody wants that because we're in limbo.

[1:37:22] We don't know what's going on.

[1:37:24] For us, it's just a financial thing.

[1:37:27] But we have other options.

[1:37:29] There are things that can be done.

[1:37:30] And this is why it's important to you guys.

[1:37:32] The airport uses federal funding for part of their funding.

[1:37:36] And director Chrisley is, therefore, Academy graduate.

[1:37:39] He probably knows people who've been stationed at the Pentagon.

[1:37:42] I certainly do.

[1:37:43] And some of them are retired now, but many of them stayed in the area.

[1:37:47] They work as analysts.

[1:37:48] They work as consultants for militaryists, but also for NGOs, for lobbyists.

[1:37:54] A lot of them have direct access to politicians.

[1:37:56] I'd like you guys to think about this very carefully.

[1:37:59] In this day and age of headlines about fraud, sweeping, and misuse of federal funds,

[1:38:03] would you like to hear some federal scrutiny on how this little airport is screwing

[1:38:09] the very people who are supposed to be supporting using federal funds.

[1:38:13] That's not a good optic for you.

[1:38:15] Kind of like the way that the Department of Air Force always cancels meetings

[1:38:19] if they see the press there.

[1:38:20] Also a bad optic.

[1:38:21] I'm not sure what they're thinking, why they do that.

[1:38:25] The other thing that's basically, as someone else just mentioned,

[1:38:28] you guys are responsible for them.

[1:38:30] We have a leash law here.

[1:38:31] You guys are supposed to control the Department of Air Force airports.

[1:38:35] If we are forced to take other actions, I'm talking about local media,

[1:38:40] national media, social media, maybe even some informational picketing,

[1:38:44] somewhere someplace sometime, it's going to reflect badly.

[1:38:48] We can drag the DOA through the mud.

[1:38:50] We get their attention.

[1:38:51] It's going to look bad for you.

[1:38:53] Thank you.

[1:38:54] Thank you.

[1:38:55] Good morning.

[1:38:57] Good morning.

[1:38:58] My name is Kevin King.

[1:39:00] I'm 1067 West Centennial Parkway.

[1:39:02] We're tired of U.S. Air Force.

[1:39:03] I was speaking alongside the North Las Vegas Airport.

[1:39:06] Hangar Owners Group.

[1:39:07] Scott Kickline, employee of the Clark County DOA,

[1:39:10] and Director Jim Crissley, also of CCDOA,

[1:39:13] have been a bismal for the small aircraft owners

[1:39:16] and renters of North Las Vegas.

[1:39:18] Jim Crissley, despite sitting otherwise,

[1:39:20] is attempting to take hangars away from the leash paying owners.

[1:39:23] Through a version clauses, which take property,

[1:39:26] which has already been paid for,

[1:39:29] away from the taxpayers and the rent payers at the end of the lease term.

[1:39:32] Our legal team is tried to negotiate.

[1:39:34] But Mr. Kickline has refused to work with our lawyer

[1:39:37] because said lawyer posted in complaint.

[1:39:39] On some social media site about the airport gas prices,

[1:39:42] and quite frankly, I can't think of any tradition more American

[1:39:45] than complaining about the gas prices.

[1:39:47] But if that's enough to stop the county from negotiating with us,

[1:39:50] it certainly smells of an impending first amendment conflict.

[1:39:54] Hangars are purchased.

[1:39:55] We've paid the lease for years.

[1:39:57] We've improved those hangars with our money.

[1:40:00] And if your intentions are truly not to steal our properties,

[1:40:03] please tell the people of the CCDOA to put a line

[1:40:06] into the end of our leases,

[1:40:08] stating the renewal of the leash will not be unreasonably refused.

[1:40:12] And then, if you could do us a further favor,

[1:40:15] please fire Jim Crissley and Scott Kickline for severe

[1:40:18] and unfathomable incompetence and lack of integrity.

[1:40:21] That'll be all.

[1:40:23] Good morning.

[1:40:28] David Barber, 93, 0, 3, go, Chris, have a new.

[1:40:32] I'm on the other side of this.

[1:40:34] I'm a veteran.

[1:40:36] I was a pilot in the military served for 24 years.

[1:40:39] I presently own an airplane, this is an Ohio.

[1:40:42] I want to bring it back here because I live here.

[1:40:45] Been here for many years now.

[1:40:47] There's a difficulty with that because there's a lack of

[1:40:50] rentals out there for me to come back to this area.

[1:40:56] I'm not going to be forced to go to perform possibly out there

[1:41:01] or other places, you know, and drive quite a distance

[1:41:04] to be able to put my airplane somewhere.

[1:41:06] My name is on the list for a shade hanger out here.

[1:41:09] I'm not told when I'm going to get that.

[1:41:12] And it could be years.

[1:41:14] I concur with everything that's been said.

[1:41:16] I've been attending these meetings as I can.

[1:41:19] And I see nothing but problems in the future.

[1:41:22] If you folks don't take charge.

[1:41:25] The litigation is going to be very expensive for everyone.

[1:41:29] It's involved.

[1:41:30] It's going to take a lot of time.

[1:41:32] And in that time, as they've already expounded upon,

[1:41:35] they can't do anything with their properties.

[1:41:38] I appeal to you.

[1:41:40] Please get involved.

[1:41:42] The things that they've said, I've witnessed a lot of it myself.

[1:41:46] And I'm not going to repeat it all here again for you all.

[1:41:49] But it is a serious situation.

[1:41:51] And I ask you to take action as soon as possible.

[1:41:54] Thank you.

[1:41:55] Thank you.

[1:41:56] Anyone else wishing to speak on items before this board?

[1:41:59] Please come forward.

[1:42:01] Seeing no one, we will recess until tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.

[1:42:05] Joy the rest of your day.

Clark County Board of Commissioners on 2026-08-04 9:05 AM - Wednesday, August 5, 2026, 9:00 a.m.
