1
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Good morning. Good morning. I'm going to call to order the August 4th meeting of the Clark County

2
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Commission. The first item on our agenda is Commissioner County Manager's Recognition. We'll begin by recognizing Clark County departments for winning

3
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:43,000
3, 20, 20, 26 national association of counties, achievement awards, and we'll turn the microphone over to Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

4
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:51,000
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

5
00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:00,000
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.

6
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:12,000
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.

7
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:24,000
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.

8
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:38,000
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.

9
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
So much that National Naco will be here in October.

10
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:54,000
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.

11
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
As you know, we start talking about this in 2019, long before we had to make it work.

12
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,000
But now we have a very exciting and robust special events department.

13
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:22,000
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.

14
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:40,000
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.

15
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:54,000
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.

16
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:04,000
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.

17
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:14,000
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.

18
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:28,000
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,

19
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:53,000
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.

20
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:04,000
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.

21
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I imagine the 10,000 employees that we have that can do so much more.

22
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Okay, our next one that we were recognized for was Clark County eviction diversion program.

23
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:25,000
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.

24
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:41,000
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.

25
00:08:41,000 --> 00:09:09,000
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.

26
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:21,000
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.

27
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Melissa Delagarza Charles map senior court administrator William him in is assistant court administrator.

28
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Mirad Napolitano, I'm dropping that name up, I'm very sorry.

29
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:53,000
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.

30
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:20,000
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.

31
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:42,000
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.

32
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:52,000
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.

33
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:08,000
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.

34
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:26,000
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.

35
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:45,000
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.

36
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:53,000
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.

37
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:12,000
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.

38
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:26,000
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.

39
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
But if we could also give them a round of applause.

40
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:49,000
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.

41
00:12:49,000 --> 00:13:06,000
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.

42
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:18,000
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.

43
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:30,000
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.

44
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
So thank you.

45
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Do one big round of applause and then all please come up.

46
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Thank you.

47
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Thank you.

48
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Thank you.

49
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
I mean, we can get out.

50
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,760
I have you, you come down and you come to the eye and you use it.

51
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,520
I'll be with you all the way to the back,

52
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,320
but you don't know how to do it.

53
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,560
You don't know how to do it.

54
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,280
You can have a big breath there for a bit.

55
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,720
You can hear from us.

56
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,680
You can't throw a fire out in your mouth.

57
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,080
You can't make it a bit.

58
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,320
You can't make it a bit.

59
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,480
You can't make it a bit.

60
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,600
You can't make it a bit.

61
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,320
You can't make it a bit.

62
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,320
There you go.

63
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,320
Thank you very much.

64
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:44,080
All right, that we all got a window.

65
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,120
You can have the camera.

66
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:26,120
All right, let's see what we can do.

67
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:27,120
Yeah, please move up.

68
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:28,120
You guys can move up.

69
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:29,120
You got to clean everybody.

70
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:33,120
If you were to follow firefighters to stay behind a couple of the commisioners,

71
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:37,120
because we're going to need to squeeze a couple.

72
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,120
But yeah, I got everybody in.

73
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,120
Is everybody out of the window?

74
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:47,120
All right, here we go.

75
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:48,120
All right, here we go everybody.

76
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:55,120
On the count of three, the end one, two, three.

77
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:56,120
Thank you.

78
00:18:56,120 --> 00:19:01,120
Thank you.

79
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:30,120
All right, here we go.

80
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:08,120
All right.

81
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:10,120
Good morning, manager Schiller.

82
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:15,120
We can advance to the first time set aside for public comment.

83
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:22,120
Anyone wishing to speak on items that are on today's agenda, please come forward at this time.

84
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:29,120
May state your name for the record and speak for up to three minutes.

85
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:32,120
All right, seeing, come forward.

86
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:41,120
This is your time to speak on items on today's agenda.

87
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:45,120
The items five through 41 are scheduled for the consent agenda.

88
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:50,120
We'll not receive a separate hearing.

89
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:56,120
Good morning.

90
00:20:56,120 --> 00:21:00,120
I'm Jacqueline Flores for the Greater Las Vegas Shelter Mental Association.

91
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:04,120
It's beginning an opposition of item 42.

92
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:10,120
Instead of imposing new short-term rental restrictions, this board and the county staff should focus on

93
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:19,120
correcting the long-standing problems in the licensing system and addressing the constitutional concerns that remain unresolved.

94
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:26,120
Remove the barriers that prevent residents from obtaining the licenses you require them to hold.

95
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:32,120
It has been 1,434 days, nearly 47 months.

96
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:38,120
This September will mark 40-40 years since the licensing system was last opened.

97
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:43,120
For four years, applicants have waited for their applications to be processed.

98
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:52,120
During that same period, Clark County has successfully hosted four Formula One events and is preparing for a fifth.

99
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:59,120
Yet residents in our communities continue to be told that they must wait for a basic business license.

100
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,120
The current process creates an uneven plain field.

101
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:14,120
Ordinary residents face a complex regulatory path that often resulting long delays or denials while a large commercial interest move through the system

102
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:17,120
or quickly and with fewer obstacles.

103
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:23,120
We are not opposed to a efficient processing for major projects or corporations.

104
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:26,120
Efficiency is good governance.

105
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:35,120
What we ask is the same efficiency and fairness be extended to average residents who simply want to operate within the rules.

106
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:41,120
During the election season, many of you will speak about the challenges facing working families.

107
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:48,120
The regulations before you today make it harder not easier for those same families to use their properties to support themselves.

108
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:52,120
Property rights do process and equal treatment under the law are not optional.

109
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,120
They are fundamental.

110
00:22:54,120 --> 00:23:02,120
I urge this commission to set aside item 42 direct staff to reopen and repair the licensing process.

111
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:10,120
Process the backlog of applications and ensure the system treats residents with the same seriousness given to the large commercial interest.

112
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:12,120
That is the responsible and lawful path forward.

113
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:13,120
Thank you.

114
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:14,120
Thank you very much.

115
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:15,120
Thank you very much.

116
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:20,120
Thanks speaker please.

117
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:23,120
I am Randy Gow.

118
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:28,120
I am a local realtor and also a short term rental investor.

119
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:30,120
I own a couple properties myself.

120
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:32,120
I just wanted to speak on opposite.

121
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:34,120
Item number 42.

122
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:40,120
I'm not completely opposed to it, I'm not completely supportive of it.

123
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,800
I do agree that there needs to be some regulations in place.

124
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:54,120
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.

125
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:59,560
So I think with some sort of regulations, people can know how to operate the correct way.

126
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:08,040
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.

127
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,440
It also creates a lot of jobs. I personally employ three different cleaning teams,

128
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:21,160
handyman, electricians, HVAC people, the list goes on and on. So short-term rentals, I believe.

129
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:29,640
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.

130
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:36,520
You'll get more taxes. It's as I didn't prepare anything, but it'll be a win-win for everyone.

131
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,360
And for you guys, I think you're looking out for your people in your neighbourhoods, right?

132
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:47,560
So you want to make sure that they're protected. They're also the economy's good, but people are operating the correct way.

133
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:53,960
So I think when the licenses come out and it's more attainable, but the right way is stated, right?

134
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,120
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.

135
00:24:58,120 --> 00:24:59,560
Yeah. Thank you very much.

136
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:02,600
Good morning.

137
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:11,320
My name is Treslo Pets and I also am, I'm being here for item 42.

138
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:20,920
I did the process from the very beginning. I got drawn and did the whole process and then was denied

139
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:27,080
because I had a septic tank. So when the court ruled that it was unconstitutional,

140
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:33,560
I went back to the county and they go, we don't know what we're doing with all this yet. So

141
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:43,640
I am still trying to do Airbnb. I don't rent as much as I used to.

142
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:56,440
Code enforcement was a living terror with gas to where I didn't realize I could call law enforcement when

143
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:02,280
they were trying to open my gate when they were trying to jump over the fence when they were threatening my

144
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:13,480
guess. And I did report it and I did put a complaint. But for you trying to do something legal and

145
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:19,640
I do Airbnb's an organ, Washington, California, and now I've been trying to do it here.

146
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:28,360
It's we can't, you know, because I have $30,000 in fine and they've leaned my house.

147
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:37,160
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.

148
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,840
I know the judge has kind of stopped everything right now from any more accumulating any more fines or

149
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:52,120
means. But $30,000 is a lot of money for just trying to make some money and give back to the community.

150
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:59,640
Because when we rent, you've got ubers, you've got the markets, and we're not even in town. We're

151
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:09,560
way over on Jones indicator. So I feel like we were targeted that you guys never really intended to

152
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,440
give licenses and everybody that turned into license, those were the people that code enforcement

153
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:22,120
were going after. In the beginning, I would call the office and I go, hey my family's going to be here. This is

154
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:29,960
their name. This is the car they're driving. Don't bother them. And I was constantly doing that. And then my family says,

155
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:38,280
you don't need to do that. So I stopped doing that. But I was trying to be lawful with them.

156
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:46,280
But here we are four years later, no license, 30,000 in fine. I don't know what's going to happen with this

157
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:55,240
mean. But I think if people are trying to do it legally, I mean look at other states. I mean look at

158
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,440
Henderson. They do it. It's money that you're going to generate because you're going to get a fee

159
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:08,120
from every rental and every weekend, every day. You get, you get part of that. Thank you.

160
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:12,680
Thank you very much. If you could just step aside Mr. Harrison, if you could grab her address for us,

161
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:21,560
thank you. Next speaker. Hi, how's it going this morning? My name is Mike Hoffman,

162
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:27,720
H-O-F-F-M-A-N, for the record concern neighbor. I'm also here to talk on item number 42.

163
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:34,040
Thank you for the consideration of item number 42 on today's agenda. For eight months or so,

164
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,840
this STR injection has allowed for an unlicensed short-term rental in my neighborhood to continue to

165
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:44,680
disturb the peace. Leave out trash, drive excessively fast, at all times of the day, and park

166
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,440
numerous cars on the street and create parking violations. This issue has gone on for more than four

167
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,520
years in my neighborhood. The county has a right to mitigate this issue for the residents.

168
00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:00,440
This injunction is exponentially grown the problem of neighborhood nuisance for residents and unincorporate

169
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:07,720
clerk counting. STR owners and residents have rights. The county also has rights and obligations.

170
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:15,800
We can't let neighborhoods and residents suffer. Thank you. Thank you very much.

171
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:26,200
Good morning. Good morning, seriously. My name is Melissa Cassidy, C-A-S-S-I-D-Y. I'm speaking on item number 42.

172
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:32,360
Good morning, commissioners. My name is Melissa Cassidy. I'm not an investor or a commercial operator.

173
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:37,560
I live in my home, and I rent two bedrooms to help afford the rising cost of living in Clark County.

174
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:44,280
Years ago, the Nevada legislature directed counties to create a legal path for short-term rentals.

175
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,880
Unfortunately, Clark County has made that path extremely difficult,

176
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:53,560
especially for home-share hosts like me, who are treated the same as whole-home rental operators,

177
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:59,880
despite living on the property. I must pay the same licensing fee as a whole-home STR.

178
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:12,000
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.

179
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Now, the county is considering requiring booking platforms to block reservations for any property that cannot be verified as license.

180
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:28,000
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.

181
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:37,000
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.

182
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:48,000
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.

183
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:57,000
This proposal could also harm currently licensed hosts, if errors or delays in the county's verification process, cause legitimate listings to be blocked.

184
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:03,000
The burden of an incomplete county system should not fall in law-abiding residents or on the booking platforms.

185
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:17,000
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.

186
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Thanks for your time and consideration.

187
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Thank you very much.

188
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Good morning.

189
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Morning commissioner.

190
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
My name is Travis Scher.

191
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
I'm speaking in opposition to agenda item 42.

192
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,000
I respectfully ask you to reconsider these proposed amendments to the short-term rental ordinance.

193
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Responsible short-term rental owners who follow rules provide valuable accommodations for visitors, support local businesses,

194
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,000
create jobs in generate millions of dollars in tax revenue for Clark County.

195
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:52,000
At the same time, the current ordinance remains the subject of ongoing litigation and a court injunction.

196
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:01,000
I urge the board to allow that legal process to run its course before imposing additional requirements on property owners and booking platforms.

197
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:10,000
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.

198
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Thank you.

199
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Good morning.

200
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Good morning.

201
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
My name is Jason Disusea.

202
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:26,000
And the morning April, William, Michael, Marilyn and Justin.

203
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,000
My number one goal in dream is just to be a dad.

204
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
I haven't seen my son in seven years.

205
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,000
I've been fighting in family court for 11 and a half years.

206
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000
I'm sorry.

207
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Can you state the item you're here to speak on today?

208
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Just about the STR.

209
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Basically.

210
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Item 42.

211
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Yes.

212
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,000
And what I'm basically going with that is my goal and dream is to be a dad.

213
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:59,000
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.

214
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:05,000
I've been fighting in family court for so long and it's impossible to be a father.

215
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Everybody views you as Darth Vader.

216
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And I've never been violent, never threatened violence, never done drugs, all positive reviews.

217
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
And that's like my passion.

218
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:21,000
And it's like if it weren't for Airbnb, there's no way I could continue that fight.

219
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
It's impossible.

220
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
And that's pretty much everything.

221
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,000
So I'm very grateful for what you guys have allowed.

222
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,000
You know, it might not seem like much to a lot of us.

223
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
But for me, it's the world because that's all I want.

224
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
It's just to be a dad.

225
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
So thank you very much.

226
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Thank you.

227
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Anyone else wishing to speak on items on today's agenda?

228
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Please come forward.

229
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:56,000
State the agenda item you're here to speak on.

230
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Good morning, Eric King, long time resident.

231
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
This is item 44.

232
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
I'm a guy who's the appointment of Mr. All slang.

233
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
And I'm probably saying his name wrong.

234
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000
But he is being appointed to the state land use planning advisory council thing.

235
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Goodness, we have one.

236
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And I would like to request publicly that there be greater consideration on such council for storm water before it becomes a new sense.

237
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:30,000
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.

238
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,000
If we had attended to that many years ago.

239
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:41,000
And I have cordially and courtesy brought it up to a number of officials, government officials over the years.

240
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:49,000
I'm currently refocused some of my efforts to on behalf of those trees that don't exist and that could.

241
00:34:49,000 --> 00:35:03,000
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.

242
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:13,000
But these are discussions I would think that could be attended to more fully and more broadly in solutions oriented approaches.

243
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,000
So such trees 10, 20, 30 years from now do exist.

244
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:29,000
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.

245
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:37,000
For those trees to exist and for really lives of humans and other wildlife to exist because of those trees.

246
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:47,000
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.

247
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:53,000
And I thank them on occasion for my life.

248
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:06,000
So I cherish that you all we consider what I'm describing as a additional inclusion of more wisdom of how we attend.

249
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:14,000
To the life here in our valley that is ever each year more stressed with more threats.

250
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Demingly to it though we've gotten the violent crime down thankfully.

251
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:28,000
But I'm talking about the council and considerations that they would have possibly by direction by leadership because you all saw value.

252
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:38,000
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.

253
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:46,000
And meets with many million dollar budget items that thankfully have approved to protect the citizenry.

254
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,000
But most of the involved channelizing the water.

255
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:56,000
And let's let's talk about things we could do without water before it gets to that point.

256
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Or even when it's in transit and thank you Mr. King. Next speaker please.

257
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Good morning.

258
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,000
My name is Amy Graff. I'm here for the STR article 42 as well.

259
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,000
If you could just lift that back up. Thank you.

260
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,000
I find it very this proposal very unfair.

261
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:37,000
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.

262
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,000
What is current, what is not current. We don't have anything right now that even shows that.

263
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,000
You know, the only thing that we see are like really old records that have not been updated.

264
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:53,000
And then you're going to ask these platforms to verify a business for us that takes.

265
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,000
You know, it's not like people just say, hey, I'm going to come and stay in the STR.

266
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,000
It takes usually like two months for people to plan this out.

267
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:10,000
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.

268
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
And that's the only way we get money from that.

269
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:20,000
You know, we don't, you know, we do our best to get consistent bookings so that we're always having income come in.

270
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:29,000
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.

271
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:40,000
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.

272
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000
We're very, you know, we are unincorporated.

273
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:52,000
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.

274
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Thank you very much.

275
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Morning. My name is Cheryl Woods. I'm a owner of a short term rental eight years now.

276
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:18,000
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.

277
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:25,000
I'm concerned what will happen if you put the injection in junction in place.

278
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:36,000
This is where my living has been for the last eight years. You're going to take this away.

279
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:50,000
I pay my taxes. I do the right thing. I maintain the property. I make sure my guests are well screened.

280
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:59,000
This injection in junction goes into place. I mean, lose all that I've worked for for the last eight years.

281
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:12,000
I've worked so hard over the last eight years to maintain the rules that you guys have said in place by

282
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:26,000
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.

283
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:33,000
And they do support the economy around the area I'm in.

284
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:41,000
I'm a little foggy. If you guys could please explain what this injection will do.

285
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:49,000
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,

286
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:57,000
or can you please let me know how this process is going to work and how this will affect me. Thank you.

287
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Thank you very much. We're not allowed to discuss right now. I'm 42. We'll come up after the consent agenda.

288
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Thank you for your consideration.

289
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak on items on today's agenda? Please come forward.

Seeing no one else close the public hearing. Turn over to manager Schiller.

291
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Good morning, commissioners.

292
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000

Mr. Chair, I'm going to approve the July 7th, 2026 meeting minutes.

294
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Thank you. There's a motion by commissioner McCurdy, please cast your vote.

295
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
That motion passes.

296
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Your next item is approval of the agenda with the inclusion of any emergency items and deletion of item.

297
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Any item staff has no recommendations related to the agenda.

298
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Mr. Chair, I'd like to ask that agenda at number 34 be heard separately.

299
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Thank you. You want to go ahead and make a motion with?

300
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000

301
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:03,000
There's a motion to approve the agenda with a request for item 34 to be heard separately.

302
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Please cast your vote.

303
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,000
That motion passes.

304
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Commissioners, next is your approval of the consent agenda.

305
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Consisting of items number 5 through 41.

306
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,000
I'm going to approve the item five to 41.

307
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:28,000
And just to clarify your motion, it will also be taking 34 separately.

308
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
34 will be taken separately.

309
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Thank you. There's a motion for approval of the consent agenda.

310
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:39,000
5 through 41 with item 34 being heard separately. Please cast your vote.

311
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,000
That motion passes.

312
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Commissioners, we can have moved item 34, which is to ratify the transmission of Clark County's FY 2021.

313
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
27 through 231 capital improvement program to the Clark County cleric.

314
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
And the State Department of Taxation made an advance of board approval, board approval,

315
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:03,000
to meet the statutory filing deadline and approve and adopt the FY 2021 capital improvement program.

316
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Mr. Jones.

317
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Thank you very much.

318
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Can I get clarification on given that there's already been transmitted to the state if a ratification

319
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:18,000
needs to occur today, or if it can be held to another date?

320
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Since it is a ratification, if you guys want to hold this item, it could be held.

321
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000
All right.

322
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Given that this is a proposal to ratify the proposed capital improvement program,

323
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,000
totaling nearly $5.4 billion.

324
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:39,000
I think it would benefit the board to hear some additional discussion.

325
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:45,000
In the CIP, it describes the rating system that went into these recommendations.

326
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:53,000
I don't know that that's really been discussed much with the board as to how those projects were scored.

327
00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:00,000
And, frankly, it feels like we deliberate more over $500 than we do over $5 billion sometimes.

328
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:08,000
And I think it would be, behooved the board to receive a presentation about what went into the capital improvement program,

329
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:15,000
given that this board's input role is to set the policy and budget for the county.

330
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000
I think that would be beneficial.

331
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,000
So I make a motion to hold it for two weeks.

332
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Thank you.

333
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:32,000
There's a motion that item 34 be held until Tuesday, August 18, please cast your vote.

334
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,000
That motion passes.

335
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Thank you, Commissioner Jones.

336
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Thank you, Commissioner Schiller.

337
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Commissioner, we're going to move to introduction of ordinances.

338
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Item 42 is an ordinance to amend Title 7, Chapter 7.110 of the Clark County Code by requesting that licenses.

339

National Unit STR. Unless it has verified that the STR is properly licensed and requiring that verification be by means of an electronic verification system.

342
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:20,000
If such a system is established and maintained, requiring licenses to include certain information on STR listings, authored by the licensee, requiring licenses to deactivate an STR.

343

345
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,000
And providing for other matters properly related there, too, and set of public hearing.

346
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Thank you, Minister Schiller. I just want, since we got some public input on this item, I just want to be clear.

347
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:20,000
The only action before us today is for me to set the public hearing and to introduce the ordinance.

348
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:27,000
That's been read into the record. It would come back for August 18, Ms. Lugston. Is that accurate?

349
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,000
That is correct. I'm August 18. They'll be an opportunity for public hearing on the item.

350
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:45,000
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.

351
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,000
Thank you.

352
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Ms. Lugston.

353
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Ms. Lugston.

354
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Ms. Lugston.

355
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Ms. Lugston.

356
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Ms. Lugston.

357
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Ms. Lugston.

358
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Ms. Lugston.

359
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Ms. Lugston.

360
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Ms. Lugston.

361
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Ms. Lugston.

362
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Ms. Lugston.

363
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Ms. Lugston.

364
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,000
Thank you. Are there any emerging issues or updates from the board?

365
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Seeing none, we can move to item 44.

366
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Next item is to nominate Jason Oswing to serve a three year term on the state land use planning advisory council.

369
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,000
The motion passes.

370
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Commissioner, your next item is to consider and approve the business impact statement.

371
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:41,000
President NRS chapter 237 for the proposed amendments to a title 7 chapter 7.110 of the Clark County code by requiring that licenses

372
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:46,000

373
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:56,000
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.

374
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:02,000
I'm sorry, manager. Just to interrupt. I see there's some people leaving who commented on STR's.

375
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:08,000
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.

376
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Sorry, manager Schiller.

377
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Okay.

378
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Unless it has been verified that the STR is properly licensed and requiring that verification be by means of an electronic verification system.

379
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,000
If such a system is established and maintained requiring licenses to include certain information on STR listings.

380
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Authored by the licensee requiring licensee to deviate and STR listing when the STR is not properly licensed by the county.

381
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:42,000
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.

382
00:48:42,000 --> 00:49:06,000
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.

383
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Repealing provisions governing enforcement actions which are duplicative title one of this code and providing for other matters properly related there too.

384
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Thank you. Good morning, Mr. Harwell.

385
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Good morning, chair commissioners. Mike Harwell for business license.

386
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:26,000
The notification for this ordinance was sent out to all the chambers of commerce, credit associations and all the.

387
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:33,000
A combination of facilitators, the both license and some that we're not have not been licensed yet.

388
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:45,000
We received 90 comments, none from the any of the combination of facilitators, but all from individual people of the 93 were in opposition.

389
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:57,000
The main issues were that we that we do not have a reliable verification process to verify the licenture of a STR.

390
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:08,000
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.

391
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:13,000
And the fact and the third is the fact that we've not reopened the application process.

392
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:23,000
The consensus was in of the opposition was that they we postpone adopting this ordinance until those things have been accomplished.

393
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:36,000
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.

394
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:52,000
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.

395
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Thank you very much other questions from the board.

396
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:02,000
John, thank you. We can take action on this item.

397
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Our proof of the business impact statement. Thank you. There's a motion. Please cast your vote.

398
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:15,000
That motion passes and for the audience, I believe that is the last STR related item on today's agenda. Thank you.

399
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Thank you.

400
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:26,000
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.

401
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Thank you very much. We'll give trustee Satori a moment to make a way down.

402
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Good morning, trustee. Thank you for being back with us.

403
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Good morning, Chair and staff members of the Commission. We solicitory for the record of point of trustee representing an incorporated Clark County.

404
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Today's update focuses on readiness for the upcoming 2627 school year. We're all excited and getting ready for back to school.

405
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:12,000
We're going to get measurable progress in areas where continued county district coordination matters most.

406
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:23,000
I'll begin with the standing priorities established by the Commission, then share current staffing and safety data.

407
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Support for students, graduation outcomes, engagement work and keyboard actions.

408
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,000
And these remain the priorities guiding my work as a county appointee trustee.

409
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:40,000
The updates that follow align most directly with teacher vacancies, student safety and support, transparent reporting, school choice and authentic community engagement.

410
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:48,000
We will start off with and open schools, open doors update because we've been discussing that a lot over the past.

411
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:57,000
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.

412
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000
So it's pleased to hear that took place.

413
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,000
The discussion centered on public access, safety, share costs and feasibility.

414
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:14,000
The county's rest openness to shared costs. Patrick Almeda will work with Brandon McLaughlin and CCSD facilities to identify approximately 10 schools.

415
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:21,000
In areas with the greatest access need and estimate custodial wear and tear and related costs.

416
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:28,000
The parties are using the 2019 agreement as the starting point and CCSD has sent it to the county for revision.

417
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:34,000
So I know it is under revisions currently, but once finalized it can serve as a template for other local municipalities.

418
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:43,000
So I want to ask if there was any input there from thank you Commissioner Jones for taking part in that.

419
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Destination district and I do have these handles for you as well.

420
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:55,000
I'm providing printing copies of CCSD's 26, 26 to 2031 strategic plan today.

421
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:04,000
The plan defines the destination district through three priorities, academic excellence, career connected learning and durable skills and safe and supportive schools.

422
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:14,000
By 2031 the district is targeting substantial growth and literacy and mathematics, marketable assets for every graduate and strong student reported safety and connection.

423
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:23,000
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.

424
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:30,000
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,

425
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:38,000
ebert thinks that they are very achievable in that time frame.

426
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,000
This is a big highlight, licensed vacancies are at a 10 year low.

427
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:48,000
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.

428
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,000
Good positive momentum, good climate as well, having licensed teachers in the building.

429
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:59,000
License classroom vacancies have fallen from 1,371 on the first day of 2023 school year.

430
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:13,000
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.

431
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,000
So we're looking to get it into the double digits.

432
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:25,000
This is the lowest vacancy level at this point in the year and more than a decade.

433
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:32,000
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.

434
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:40,000
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.

435
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,000
So that was really key to see if there's been a lot of focus on safety at those secondary levels.

436
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Operational data reinforces that trend, weapons related infractions fell 29%, fighting fell 17% and threats fell 9% compared with the prior year.

437
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
The district is expanding our student town halls.

438
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:02,000
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.

439
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Superintendent Evert is very big on student voice and reaching out to students and getting their impact, particularly on the area of safety.

440
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Continuing school justice collaboration with school police Metro juvenile justice services in the district attorney's office.

441
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:31,000
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.

442
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:37,000
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.

443
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:45,000
CCSD and legal aid of Southern Nevada region agreement that strengthens foster care services and literacy supports district wide.

444
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:56,000
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.

445
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Separately project rise provides screening diagnostic assessment intervention and family progress reporting for students with persistent foundational reading difficulties.

446
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:20,000
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.

447
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:38,000
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.

448
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:53,000
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.

449
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:03,000
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.

450
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:12,000
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.

451
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:24,000
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.

452
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:31,000
The campaign uses existing resources identified through reorganization and will be monitored for return on investment.

453
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:40,000
And our community engagement updates we really enjoyed doing those last year and look forward to continuing those and hearing in our community.

454
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:45,000
We reviewed attendance and operational lessons from the first year of holding these meetings.

455
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Hybrid meetings generated the strongest participation averaging 116 participants.

456
00:58:50,000 --> 00:59:03,000
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.

457
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:10,000
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.

458
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:18,000
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.

459
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:35,000
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.

460
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:43,000
And the Clark County representative meeting is scheduled for February of 27.

461
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:53,000
The board unanimously adopted the fiscal year 27 final budget with an 8.56 billion dollar in net authorized spending across all funds.

462
00:59:53,000 --> 01:00:00,000
An independent educational operational efficiency study identified opportunities for up to 80 million dollars.

463
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Recurring annual general fund savings, compared with a $1.4 million one-time study cost to make that happen.

464
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:21,000
Those are identified opportunities, not yet realize savings, implementation and follow-through will be essential to actually see that $80 million into action.

465
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,000
The Board approved the superintendent evaluation process for the 2627 school year.

466
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:32,000
The focus targets will be selected at a future meeting, followed by a major review, progress review, and some of the evaluation.

467
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:37,000
They will, however, be focused on these priorities in the strategic plan and very specific to those.

468
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:49,000
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.

469
01:00:50,000 --> 01:01:00,000
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.

470
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,000
So, are you entertained any questions?

471
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Thank you, Trustee. Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

472
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:18,000
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.

473
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:22,000
So, can I ask this question?

474
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:28,000
You know, I'm pretty connected in the community, but I've never seen my school board trustee ever.

475
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:36,000
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.

476
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:47,000
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.

477
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,000
So, we kind of always know what their needs are, right? So, it's that wraparound.

478
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,000
Where can we help you, where can we connect you?

479
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:02,000
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?

480
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:10,000
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.

481
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:15,000
If they could just give me an idea of what they're trying to do.

482
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:22,000
It would be helpful, because then maybe we can move, move mountains even more.

483
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:31,000
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.

484
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:35,000
Well, it was because of you and the superintendent that helped me get the principals to the table, right?

485
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Because they were meeting with all the other entities, but not with Clark County.

486
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:45,000
So, you've already moved to mountains. I think there's other people that have the responsibility to move to mountains too.

487
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,000
So, thank you for what you do, and I'm excited for this year.

488
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,000
I will tell you that both of my grandkids are back in public schools.

489
01:02:52,000 --> 01:03:04,000
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.

490
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,000
And I think that's what's been missing for the longest time.

491
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,000
You were chosen one for the magnet school. You did great.

492
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:20,000
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.

493
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:27,000
So, I'll be your biggest advocate, or your biggest learning your side, but I'll tell you the truth.

494
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Thank you, Commissioner Jones.

495
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:35,000
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.

496
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Taking a tour and really trying to problem solve some of the issues that we have over there.

497
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:50,000
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.

498
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,000
So, thank you.

499
01:03:52,000 --> 01:04:01,000
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,

500
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:07,000
to be gearing up to the school year. Nothing like that has ever happened historically in Southern Nevada.

501
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,000
It's a big deal.

502
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,000
And thank you for the role that you've played in that in the superintendent.

503
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:17,000
It's a huge priority of ours on this board.

504
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,000
And I know that we're carrying that through with some action, literally as we speak.

505
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:30,000
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.

506
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,000
So, thank you for that.

507
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:38,000
If there is nothing further, thank you for being here. Good luck in the coming days.

508
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:48,000
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.

509
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Thank you.

510
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:55,000
We'll give deputy chief a moment to join us.

511
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Good morning.

512
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Good morning.

513
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:08,000
Greetings, chief chair Nat and the rest of the and the all commissioners. I'm sorry.

514
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:19,000
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.

515
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:24,000
I oversee operations for the Clark County detention center, North Valley Complex and the Tucker Holding Facility.

516
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:38,000
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.

517
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:42,000
January 1, 2026 to mace first.

518
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:47,000
No, to June 9th of 2026.

519
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:52,000
So, our vision at the detention services division is to be the safest jail in America.

520
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,000
Our mission is to set the standard for American jails.

521
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:07,000
And our department, why values is the acronym I care which stands for integrity, courage, accountability, respect, excellence.

522
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:13,000
The numbers, the data given for our capacities is the total capacity for each facility.

523
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Our Clark County detention center has a capacity of over 3,000 inmates.

524
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Our North Valley Complex has capacity for over 1,000 inmates.

525
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:32,000
Our Tucker Holding Facility has a capacity of 40 and our electronic monitoring program has a capacity of 950 inmates.

526
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:41,000
The data being presented to you for our booking and housing numbers represent a reporting period from June of 2025 to May of 2026.

527
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,000
Our total bookings were over just over 51,000.

528
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Our total releases were also over 51,000.

529
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:59,000
Our average length of stay is about 20 days and our average daily population was about 2600.

530
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:04,000
During this current reporting period, we had a total of 4 in custody desks.

531
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:12,000
All 4 desks were male and each death occurred in the hospital.

532
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:17,000
The causes of death for 3 of the 4 cases are still pending.

533
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,000
The medical examiner's report.

534
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:23,000
The first case, the desks was experienced.

535
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:30,000
The medical episode was transported to the hospital and remain hospitalized until his death.

536
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:40,000
You will also note there that there was one inmate that was absentia, which means that he, upon his arrest, he had medical,

537
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:44,000
needed medical attention and was taken directly to the hospital.

538
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:49,000
He never entered into the facility.

539
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Our South Tower of Innovation is still ongoing.

540
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,000
We are currently in phase 3.

541
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,000
We have completed floors 5 and 6.

542
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:01,000
The fourth floor has been taken completely out of service.

543
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:05,000
And the picture that depicts here is of our lobby area.

544
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:09,000
This area serves as the primary public entrance into the facility.

545
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:13,000
And the redesign of this space enhances our safety and security.

546
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:18,000
And efficiently allows us to screen all individuals coming into the facility.

547
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:22,000
And this completes concludes my presentation.

548
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Thank you, Chief.

549
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,000
Are there any questions from the board?

550
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:30,000
If there's not, I'll just add my thanks to you since you've been in this role.

551
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:36,000
Within moments you've allowed me to come see you at the county jail to get my questions answered.

552
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Vice versa.

553
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,000
You've come over here very quickly.

554
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,000
You've called after nearly every incident.

555
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,000
Clear it up any questions that I've had.

556
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,000
And I thank you for that.

557
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Really glad you're in this role.

558
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
You are so very welcome and I am happy to serve.

559
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Thank you.

560
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,000
Thank you.

561
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:53,000
Have a great day.

562
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:54,000
You too.

563
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,000
All right.

564
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,000
This brings us to our final item of the day.

565
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Is that correct?

566
01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:59,000
That is correct.

567
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Your next items to receive a report on proposals for bill draft for Quest BDRs for the

568
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,000
2027 Nevada State Legislative session.

569
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Determine the final BDRs to be included in the county bill package.

570
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:15,000
Direct staff to transmit the BDRs to the legislative council bureau and take any action as deemed appropriate.

571
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,000
Thank you.

572
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,000
Good morning.

573
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,000
Good morning chair.

574
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:19,000
Good morning commissioners.

575
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Joanna Jacob.

576
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,000
Government director for Clark County.

577
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:24,000
Here.

578
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:32,000
It is that time of the year to talk about our bill draft requests before the 27 legislative session.

579
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,000
As a reminder, just for the audience, we get four.

580
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Clark County can introduce four.

581
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Sponsored bills and we must file them with the LCB by September 1st.

582
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:48,000
So I'm going to present staff recommendation for your consideration.

583
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:56,000
Really covering a wide spectrum of issues related to workforce, consumer protection, the Las Vegas strip conditions

584
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:01,000
and proposed changes to the structure, operation of our public and administrative office.

585
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,000
So I'm going to go through four.

586
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,000
The four proposals.

587
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Chair.

588
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,000
And then I'll pause and see for discussion.

589
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:09,000
After the four proposals.

590
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:14,000
I do have a brief update on bills that we've submitted to the interim legislative process committees.

591
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,000
If you would like to hear that.

592
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,000
So I'm starting with the first one.

593
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:23,000
The workforce bill is really for our corners office.

594
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:31,000
This is going to be a bill proposal to allow a treating physician or a medical provider to sign a

595
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:38,000
certificate if someone passed away from the condition that they were treated for.

596
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:42,000
It is modeled after laws like this in other states.

597
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:46,000
It will help to address the workforce issues in our corners office.

598
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:54,000
She's a very busy woman and we think that the intent here just to make it very clear is to cover

599
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,000
outside of the hospital setting.

600
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,000
And we would exempt.

601
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,000
This would not apply in emergency or urgent care situations.

602
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:10,000
And is intended to still maintain the corners authority to conduct a post-mortem exam when needed,

603
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:14,000
such as in occurrences of violence or suspicious deaths.

604
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:19,000
The second one is what I see as a consumer protection issue.

605
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:24,000
We come up in emerging issues over the year, especially because of the leadership of Commissioner

606
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Corporate.

607
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:33,000
And this is addressing utility charges for in leases.

608
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:39,000
I guess at this point in passing through property tax to tenants.

609
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:47,000
The bill proposal would be intended to address quasi public utilities that are not otherwise regulated.

610
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:55,000
And we could model existing protections in other statutes that the legislature has already enacted to protect

611
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,000
residents in mobile home parks.

612
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:01,000
The intent here is transparency for our community.

613
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:07,000
The large number of our constituents who rent and have been subject to excessive fees.

614
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:13,000
And that we would provide for the actual cost of the utilities.

615
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:21,000
And that is, I'm sure Commissioner Corporate may have some additional comments when we go to discussion.

616
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:29,000
The third item is the strip proposal is intended to address illegal mobile billboards operating,

617
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,000
largely on the Las Vegas strip.

618
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:42,000
And the bill would be to allow or authorize Metro to tow someone who is operating in violation of our ordinance

619
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,000
and was not complying with our ordinance.

620
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:52,000
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

621
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:58,000
administrators office would not apply to the current public administrator but to the future.

622
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:02,000
The future holder of that office.

623
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:07,000
We the proposal would enable the county to pass an ordinance.

624
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:20,000
Really to require sharing of data and regular reporting to the board upon request and authorize the board to take action on that information.

625
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:25,000
This would more is intended to allow greater collaboration with other county departments.

626
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:37,000
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

627
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Minimumist property value that the corner could then take the disposition of that property.

628
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:48,000
And it wouldn't have to go through a public administrator office, which can cause delays.

629
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:54,000
So that is the four bill at staff recommendations.

630
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Chair, I'll pause there and see if there's any direction or discussion from the board.

631
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:00,000
Thank you.

632
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:08,000
We'll go ahead and open up discussion on the four items that have been presented.

633
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:15,000
Okay, so if there is no further discussion, we will take as direction for proposals that have been brought to us.

634
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:21,000
One related to workforce in the coroner's office, the second consumer protections.

635
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Three mobile billboard towing for updates to the oversight of the PA office.

636
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,000
Thank you, Chair.

637
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:34,000
I do have a brief update for the interim committees.

638
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:44,000
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.

639
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,000
That has been going on over the past year.

640
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Just wanted to make you aware that there are several bills that have been submitted for possible consideration by those legislative committees.

641
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,000
One of which we, I don't know of trust to you.

642
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Satoria still here, but we will keep her in full.

643
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:12,000
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.

644
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:22,000
And then we also have a number of bills that we submitted to interim health for possible consideration in the space of child welfare.

645
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:32,000
So I will report back, I guess, on that, that is for possible action next week on August 11th.

646
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:40,000
And it is intended to address some of the issues for our Clark County departments in the operation of services for child welfare.

647
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:49,000
So I will stop there. And I think I've received accurate live direction. I thank you for hearing this item.

648
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Before you thank us, Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

649
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:59,000
I think it join us, so maybe you could also give the commissioners the five BDR set in NACO.

650
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:09,000
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.

651
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:21,000
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.

652
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:38,000
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.

653
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:54,000
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.

654
01:16:54,000 --> 01:17:03,000
The second one has to do with emergency management funding that's important to our Clark County Department of Emergency Management.

655
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:28,000
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.

656
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:46,000
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.

657
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:54,000
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.

658
01:17:54,000 --> 01:18:09,000
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.

659
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:22,000
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.

660
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:32,000
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.

661
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:33,000
Thank you chair.

662
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:47,000
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.

663
01:18:53,000 --> 01:19:02,000
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.

664
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:21,000
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.

665
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:29,000
Other cities have such goals. I've spoken with at least one of the commissioners about that city and those goals.

666
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:43,000
A million plus trees is a large number for adding to what we have already planned and budgeted or intended to be budgeted.

667
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:53,000
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?

668
01:19:53,000 --> 01:20:12,000
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.

669
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:24,000
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.

670
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:40,000
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

671
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:52,000
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.

672
01:20:52,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Experiencing droughts for all those times that before our city began, we could on a micro project by micro project basis.

673
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:11,000
Below, even a hundred thousand dollars, the millions of dollars we spent to channelize water on each project that we do that for.

674
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:27,000
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.

675
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:37,000
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.

676
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:46,000
We could do that for pennies on the dollar of what we're spending right now to grow expand and channelize water.

677
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:55,000
And I propose that a administrative letter of some sort, become into the works with citizen advisory to make that work. Cheers.

678
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Thank you. Good morning.

679
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:06,000
Good morning commissioners, Stephanie Phillips, political affairs director with veterans and politics.

680
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:13,000
More than one third of the airplane hanger owners at the North Las Vegas airport are veterans.

681
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:23,000
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.

682
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Most of these owners, their hangers represent a substantial personal investment and a significant portion of their assets.

683
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:38,000
They are not multi-millionaires, they are ordinary people who have devoted much of their lives to aviation.

684
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:44,000
Many served our country as fighter or bomber pilots in the United States Air Force.

685
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Unfortunately, they cannot reasonably sell their hangers because the Clark County Department of Aviation has not made long-term landlaces available to buyers.

686
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Without long-term leases, buyers cannot protect their investment.

687
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:09,000
This uncertainty has severely reduced the value and marketability of these hangers, causing real economic harm to veterans and other taxpayers.

688
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:17,000
The CCDOA has also failed to negotiate in good faith with the hanger owners, instead of working toward a fair and reasonable solution.

689
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:29,000
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.

690
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:37,000
North Las Vegas airport encompasses approximately 930 acres, while these hangers occupy only about 30 acres.

691
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:47,000
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.

692
01:23:47,000 --> 01:24:00,000
FAA grant assurance 22 requires federally obligated airports to remain available on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination among aeronautical users.

693
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:09,000
Please direct the CCDOA to negotiate fairly and promptly renew or reissue reasonable long-term leases.

694
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:14,000
Protect the airport while allowing hanger owners to preserve and transfer their investments.

695
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:23,000
Please stand with Clark County's veterans, taxpayers, and general aviation community by providing the fairness and certainty they deserve.

696
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:24,000
Thank you.

697
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,000
Thank you very much.

698
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,000
Good morning.

699
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,000
Good morning.

700
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Chair and Commissioner, Steve Sands, the President of Veterans and Politics.

701
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:41,000
I wanted to say happy birthday to Commissioner Thick, Cigabloom, wherever he is.

702
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:48,000
I'm here today on behalf of many hanger owners at the North Las Vegas airport, including a large number of veterans.

703
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:55,000
Imagine spending decades invest in your own money to build a maintain and hanger on lease airport land.

704
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:00,000
You pay every bill, you maintain the property, you improve it.

705
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:09,000
Then when your lease expires, your told at the government may simply take ownership of your hanger through a reversion clause.

706
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,000
Whit no meaningful compensation.

707
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:23,000
Most Americans would never accept that happen into their homes or business, yet that is exactly the concern facing many hanger owners today.

708
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:35,000
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.

709
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:43,000
They should not have to fight their own local government to protect the investment they have spent a lifetime building.

710
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:49,000
The North Las Vegas airport compasses approximately 930 acres.

711
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:55,000
These privately financed hangers occupied only a small fraction of that property.

712
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,000
This is not about a shortage of land.

713
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:04,000
It is about fairness, certainty, and respect for the people who invest in this airport.

714
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:11,000
The uncertainty surrounding these renewals is already pausing real economic harm.

715
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:23,000
Owners who wish to retire or sell cannot do so because buyers are reluctant to purchase improvements without long-term lease security.

716
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:30,000
Property values decline, retirement plans or disrupted years of investment are placed at risk.

717
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,000
This situation did not arise overnight.

718
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:37,000
These lease renewals should have been addressed years ago.

719
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:45,000
Hanger owners should not bear the financial burden of government delays or change in policies.

720
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:50,000
Clark County has also recognized the growing challenges facing veterans.

721
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Recent reports show veteran homelessness increasing at an alarming rate.

722
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:07,000
Government policies should strengthen financial stability for veterans not create additional uncertainty by placing significant personal investment at risk.

723
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,000
Commissioners.

724
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:14,000
This issue is longer larger than airport policy.

725
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:25,000
It is about whether Clark County honors fairness protects legitimate investments back except expectations and threats veterans and taxpayers.

726
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:30,000
And tax payers and treat veterans and tax payers with respect they have earned.

727
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Thank you so much for your time.

728
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,000
Thank you very much.

729
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:36,000
Good morning.

730
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Tim Ross 2537 day spring street.

731
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,000
Las Vegas Nevada speaking out about the North Las Vegas hanger leases.

732
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:47,000
I'm also the aircraft owners and pilots of association representative for North Las Vegas Airport.

733
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,000
Commissioners, there are some cornerstones of good faith negotiations.

734
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,000
Jim Chrisley has violated all of these cornerstones.

735
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:58,000
Although hiring a consultant we failed was a waste of time and money.

736
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:03,000
Jim Chrisley insisted that they hire a consultant for $16,000.

737
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:12,000
He agreed to allow us to help vet the selection of the consultant so we could find one acceptable to the CCDOA and us.

738
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:17,000
After agreeing to this, Chrisley hired the consultant that we said was unacceptable to us.

739
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Now any information presented by this consultant should be considered invalid.

740
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:29,000
And any meetings with this consultant should be in this chamber so that it meets the open meetings requirements.

741
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:33,000
Not in private because they create policy behind closed doors.

742
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:39,000
The hanger owners group lawyer, Jeff Lustig, let Mr. Chrisley know any reversion clause is unacceptable to us.

743
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,000
And would not be signed.

744
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:50,000
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.

745
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:55,000
Number three, Mr. Chrisley is repeatedly said he does not want to own our hangers.

746
01:28:55,000 --> 01:29:02,000
However, he hired a consultant to create this reversion clause and the reversion clause negates the statement about not owning our hangers.

747
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:13,000
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.

748
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:19,000
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.

749
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:26,000
Vince is risky previously told us that the FAA required a reversion clause. This is not true.

750
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:35,000
There's a case named Clark V. Alamagordo that clearly explains that the FAA does not require a reversion clause.

751
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:40,000
Mr. Chrisley is apparently unable to tell the truth and negotiate in good faith.

752
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:46,000
I've created a petition to have Mr. Chrisley terminated if we do not get this lease by the end of August.

753
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:51,000
And a hanger owners and the aviation community are happily signing it.

754
01:29:51,000 --> 01:30:00,000
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.

755
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:15,000
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.

756
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:28,000
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.

757
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:36,000
31st, so I do not have to present a petition to terminate Mr. Chrisley's employment. Thank you.

758
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:39,000
Thank you. Good morning.

759
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:47,000
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.

760
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:53,000
But since you continue to advertise religion, let's talk about how gruesome it is. I have the Bible I've read it.

761
01:30:53,000 --> 01:31:12,000
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.

762
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:23,000
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.

763
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,000
The Mormon church was thrilled when Arizona passed this law.

764
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:37,000
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.

765
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:46,000
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.

766
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:51,000
That's in a Nevada Revised Statutes, 432B, or 0.220.

767
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:58,000
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?

768
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:13,000
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.

769
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,000
That's in the state law.

770
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:20,000
Let's go through the list of the clergy you bring in here who can keep those secrets.

771
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:27,000
You bring in Reverend Will Rocker, Stacey Hilton, Chapman, Brian Scrogans, Pastor Adrian Dolls, Matthew.

772
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:34,000
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.

773
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:39,000
And that's good for them to do. You can put your public comment without slainering.

774
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:43,000
These are the people you bring in that are on the agenda. I'm reciting what's on the agenda.

775
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Pastor Rosito Lee, Reverend Christine Marsh, Rabbi Brad, Tech Teal, Rabbi Levi, Harlegg, D.K. Tomas Garcia, Tenema Few.

776
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:56,000
You're a Bible in the clergy. You bring in here, protect those who do these horrible things to children.

777
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:01,000
It's time to face the facts. Face yourself and face your own children.

778
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:07,000
Tell them what happened in this meeting. Tell them what the law allows to protect these monsters.

779
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:13,000
I urge you to stop bringing prayer, religion, and the clergy in these chambers who bylock and keep these secrets.

780
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:22,000
And don't have to report them to the police. These are the most innocent, the babies, the toddlers, the children of this community.

781
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:28,000
Honor, the separation of church and state. There are plenty of churches around here. People can go and believe this crap.

782
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:37,000
And they can go and do it there. There's 70% of the municipalities and counties that don't bring prayer into these meetings.

783
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:43,000
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.

784
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:46,000
Thank you.

785
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Good morning.

786
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:53,000
Good morning.

787
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Jess Myers, 4890 North Semoron, Roadless Vegas.

788
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:04,000
I'm here to talk about the, you know, or ask about the lack of lease at the airport at North Las Vegas.

789
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:13,000
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.

790
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:22,000
But unfortunately, the airport is not going to be a jet airport for airline tight jets. It's too small.

791
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,000
And if you do have a problem, it's going to look bad for all of you.

792
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:32,000
So the problem I have asked, you're a very intelligent group. You have a very intelligent gentleman under you.

793
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Two years now, this lease has been in the air, can something be done.

794
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:43,000
In other words, he is down below you. He can't make the decision. It comes back.

795
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:48,000
So are you folks willing to set down and negotiate a lease?

796
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,000
That's my question.

797
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:58,000
When we had the airport during 9-11, one calendar year, we could not use the airport.

798
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:01,000
Anger rent, everything went on.

799
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:06,000
So the point is that we should have the lease. It should be extended.

800
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:12,000
This reversion clause would be like making your last house payment and giving me the title.

801
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:17,000
I don't think that go over who well, because I think you had all stand up and disagree with that.

802
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,000
Is that right, Mr. Recready?

803
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,000
Third, would that be right?

804
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,000
We're not allowed to do back and forth.

805
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:27,000
Well, I just noticed he wasn't paying any attention.

806
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:33,000
The point is, if I took the title of your house upon the last payment, would you be happy?

807
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:35,000
I don't think so.

808
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:37,000
And this is all I've got to say about it.

809
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Thank you.

810
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:43,000
And I was confirming Vice Chairman McCurdy has personally attended these meetings.

811
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:46,000
Not to speak for you. Vice Chairman.

812
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,000
Good morning.

813
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:49,000
Good morning.

814
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,000
I wrote a live in the Prairie Middle Street and a west part of town.

815
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,000
Ms. April is my representative.

816
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:56,000
And as I voted for you last few elections.

817
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,000
I'm also here to talk about the hangers.

818
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:00,000
Unfortunately, I have to apologize.

819
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,000
I don't want to be here. I wish I wasn't here.

820
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,000
But things have gotten worse since the last time I spoke with you guys.

821
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,000
I asked you the same things everybody's asking.

822
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:09,000
We're not demanding things.

823
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,000
We're saying, please come to the negotiation table.

824
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,000
In good faith and tell the truth.

825
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,000
We're not getting that.

826
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:17,000
And that's why we're all here today.

827
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:18,000
Very angry.

828
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:20,000
Well, you know Jeff Lustig.

829
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,000
He has submitted proposals.

830
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:24,000
Very common sense proposal.

831
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Some compromises, yes.

832
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:30,000
He hasn't even had the courtesy of getting a red line report back.

833
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:33,000
They're treating us like our opinions don't matter at all.

834
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,000
And I think that's a mistake.

835
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:37,000
Let's start with something good.

836
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:40,000
Dr. Chrisley did come to a hangar meeting a month or so ago.

837
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,000
And it was a hostile audience.

838
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:43,000
The anger was palpable.

839
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:44,000
He took it.

840
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:46,000
He took it hard.

841
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,000
We've been told that the leases would be renewed.

842
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,000
This is one of their main defenses is will you sign the lease with an expiration date.

843
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:57,000
We were told for decades, literally more than 10 years.

844
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:59,000
Don't worry, the leases will be renewed.

845
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:02,000
The price may go up with inflation, but the releases will be renewed.

846
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,000
Now, as you've heard from everybody else, once these things are not renewed,

847
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,000
we're all kind of screwed badly.

848
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:11,000
There's some options here.

849
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,000
There are some millionaires on the field.

850
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:14,000
No question about it.

851
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:15,000
Some of those planes cost a million.

852
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:18,000
Okay, they can probably have the resources to hire lawyers.

853
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,000
We could take a listing up probably for years.

854
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Nobody wants that because we're in limbo.

855
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,000
We don't know what's going on.

856
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:27,000
For us, it's just a financial thing.

857
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:29,000
But we have other options.

858
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:30,000
There are things that can be done.

859
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,000
And this is why it's important to you guys.

860
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:36,000
The airport uses federal funding for part of their funding.

861
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,000
And director Chrisley is, therefore, Academy graduate.

862
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:42,000
He probably knows people who've been stationed at the Pentagon.

863
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:43,000
I certainly do.

864
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:47,000
And some of them are retired now, but many of them stayed in the area.

865
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:48,000
They work as analysts.

866
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:54,000
They work as consultants for militaryists, but also for NGOs, for lobbyists.

867
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,000
A lot of them have direct access to politicians.

868
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:59,000
I'd like you guys to think about this very carefully.

869
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:03,000
In this day and age of headlines about fraud, sweeping, and misuse of federal funds,

870
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:09,000
would you like to hear some federal scrutiny on how this little airport is screwing

871
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:13,000
the very people who are supposed to be supporting using federal funds.

872
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,000
That's not a good optic for you.

873
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:19,000
Kind of like the way that the Department of Air Force always cancels meetings

874
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:20,000
if they see the press there.

875
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:21,000
Also a bad optic.

876
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:25,000
I'm not sure what they're thinking, why they do that.

877
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:28,000
The other thing that's basically, as someone else just mentioned,

878
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:30,000
you guys are responsible for them.

879
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:31,000
We have a leash law here.

880
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:35,000
You guys are supposed to control the Department of Air Force airports.

881
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:40,000
If we are forced to take other actions, I'm talking about local media,

882
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:44,000
national media, social media, maybe even some informational picketing,

883
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:48,000
somewhere someplace sometime, it's going to reflect badly.

884
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:50,000
We can drag the DOA through the mud.

885
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:51,000
We get their attention.

886
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,000
It's going to look bad for you.

887
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:54,000
Thank you.

888
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:55,000
Thank you.

889
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Good morning.

890
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:58,000
Good morning.

891
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:00,000
My name is Kevin King.

892
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,000
I'm 1067 West Centennial Parkway.

893
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:03,000
We're tired of U.S. Air Force.

894
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,000
I was speaking alongside the North Las Vegas Airport.

895
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:07,000
Hangar Owners Group.

896
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Scott Kickline, employee of the Clark County DOA,

897
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:13,000
and Director Jim Crissley, also of CCDOA,

898
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:16,000
have been a bismal for the small aircraft owners

899
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,000
and renters of North Las Vegas.

900
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Jim Crissley, despite sitting otherwise,

901
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:23,000
is attempting to take hangars away from the leash paying owners.

902
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:26,000
Through a version clauses, which take property,

903
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:28,000
which has already been paid for,

904
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,000
away from the taxpayers and the rent payers at the end of the lease term.

905
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:34,000
Our legal team is tried to negotiate.

906
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,000
But Mr. Kickline has refused to work with our lawyer

907
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,000
because said lawyer posted in complaint.

908
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:42,000
On some social media site about the airport gas prices,

909
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:45,000
and quite frankly, I can't think of any tradition more American

910
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,000
than complaining about the gas prices.

911
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:50,000
But if that's enough to stop the county from negotiating with us,

912
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:54,000
it certainly smells of an impending first amendment conflict.

913
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:55,000
Hangars are purchased.

914
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:57,000
We've paid the lease for years.

915
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,000
We've improved those hangars with our money.

916
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,000
And if your intentions are truly not to steal our properties,

917
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:06,000
please tell the people of the CCDOA to put a line

918
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:08,000
into the end of our leases,

919
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:12,000
stating the renewal of the leash will not be unreasonably refused.

920
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,000
And then, if you could do us a further favor,

921
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:18,000
please fire Jim Crissley and Scott Kickline for severe

922
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:21,000
and unfathomable incompetence and lack of integrity.

923
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,000
That'll be all.

924
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:25,000
Good morning.

925
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:32,000
David Barber, 93, 0, 3, go, Chris, have a new.

926
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,000
I'm on the other side of this.

927
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:36,000
I'm a veteran.

928
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,000
I was a pilot in the military served for 24 years.

929
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:42,000
I presently own an airplane, this is an Ohio.

930
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,000
I want to bring it back here because I live here.

931
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Been here for many years now.

932
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,000
There's a difficulty with that because there's a lack of

933
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:56,000
rentals out there for me to come back to this area.

934
01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:01,000
I'm not going to be forced to go to perform possibly out there

935
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,000
or other places, you know, and drive quite a distance

936
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,000
to be able to put my airplane somewhere.

937
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,000
My name is on the list for a shade hanger out here.

938
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:12,000
I'm not told when I'm going to get that.

939
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:14,000
And it could be years.

940
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:16,000
I concur with everything that's been said.

941
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:19,000
I've been attending these meetings as I can.

942
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:22,000
And I see nothing but problems in the future.

943
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:25,000
If you folks don't take charge.

944
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:29,000
The litigation is going to be very expensive for everyone.

945
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:30,000
It's involved.

946
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:32,000
It's going to take a lot of time.

947
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,000
And in that time, as they've already expounded upon,

948
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:38,000
they can't do anything with their properties.

949
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,000
I appeal to you.

950
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:42,000
Please get involved.

951
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:46,000
The things that they've said, I've witnessed a lot of it myself.

952
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:49,000
And I'm not going to repeat it all here again for you all.

953
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,000
But it is a serious situation.

954
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:54,000
And I ask you to take action as soon as possible.

955
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:55,000
Thank you.

956
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:56,000
Thank you.

957
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:59,000
Anyone else wishing to speak on items before this board?

958
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,000
Please come forward.

959
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Seeing no one, we will recess until tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.

960
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:06,000
Joy the rest of your day.
