you've gone, but we did agree a couple

50
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,560
times.

51
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,040

do want to give a shout out to the

police department. You know, I made a

56
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,879
comment about not getting any law

57
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:36,959

00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,760

Eisers. I mean, it's it's just down here

for the record.

73
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,640
My name is Paul Wemhaner and I reside at

74
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,519
204 East Minhan Court in Center

75
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:31,350
Washington.

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,200
» Well, I was going to say Mr. Mayor, City

77
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,599
Council, and staff, but Mr. Mayor is not

78
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,319
here tonight. Um,

79
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,760
>> Mayor Prom,

80
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,840
>> there you go.

81
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,879
On July 8th, 2026, I delivered a letter

82
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,920
to the city of Cent's office building.

83
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,400
staff received it and indicated it would

84
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,040
enter into the log but advised that I

85
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,680
should not expect a response for at

86
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,000
least three months as there were more

87
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,680
than 40 requests ahead of me. My letter

88
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,280
was addressed to Miss Tracy Coleman and

89
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,760
director of public works

90
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,599
and Mr. Tony Cooper, city engineer

91
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:14,400
regarding ste street signing and safety

92
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,359
concerns. In it, I requested the city

93
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:20,079
install a sign at the corner of Minihon

94
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:22,800
Court and East Second Way to alert

95
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520
drivers of to the children and

96
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,040
pedestrian entrances into Holly Park.

97
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,000
This entrance is prudently unmarked and

98
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,479
heavily used. It is especially

99
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:36,160
concerning given the volume of

100
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,560
construction equipment now passing the

101
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,880
entrance due to the new development

102
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,880
occurring at the end of East Second Way.

103
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,800
Understanding the city could not respond

104
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,680
to my request promptly and recognizing

105
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,720
the risk to residents, I installed a

106
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,160
cons a caution sign warning drivers to

107
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,400
watch for pedestrians and psych

108
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960
cyclists. The sign was purchased from a

109
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,000
standard roadway sign

110
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,840
manufacturer,

111
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,280
smart signs, and attached to an existing

112
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,680
signpost at the corner of East Second

113
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,639
Way and Minhan Court.

114
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:18,400
On August 13th, 2026, I discovered the

115
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,440
sign had been removed. After contacting

116
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,759
public works maintenance staff, I was

117
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,320
allowed to retrieve the sign on August

118
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,320
24th. By phone message, I was told that

119
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,240
public work requires UTCD approved

120
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960
signs. Apparently, the sign that I'm

121
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,390
holding up

122
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,950
does not meet that standard.

123
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,039
I respectfully request the city

124
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:51,440
immediately issue a temporary

125
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,400
installation permit for the removed

126
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,600
sign. This permit should remain in place

127
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,240
until city staff can provide proper

128
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,720
approved signage for the entrance to

129
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,840
Holly Park on Minhan Court.

130
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,720
Respectfully, Paul,

131
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,160
any questions?

132
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,080
>> No, but I'm sure city staff will get

133
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,479
with you to uh you know, further address

134
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:15,919
your requests and

135
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:18,000
>> Well, so far they haven't since it's

136
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,440
been a month and a half.

137
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,120
>> All right. Well, they will get to you as

138
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,950
they go down the list.

139
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Pete, maybe if you have time after the

140
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,160
meeting, you guys can chat quick.

141
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,629
>> Hudson Bole,

142
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:41,280
» please state your name and address for

143
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:43,520
the record.

144
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,199
>> What?

145
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,680
>> Hudson.

146
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,440
Oh man,

00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,240
center.

148
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,680
>> There you go.

149
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:58,319
>> Okay. Um, I think that we should add a I

150
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:01,440
don't know if you guys know, but like a

151
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,479
bowl to to a skate park because me and

152
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:06,880
my buddies really like Battleground

153
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,720
skatepark and Battleground skatepark has

154
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,639
a bowl.

155
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:14,880
So, I think that'd be a good ad to skate

156
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,589
park.

157
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:22,240
I don't know.

158
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Do you have any plans for funding for

159
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,000
this?

160
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
>> I don't know.

161
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,680
>> Okay.

162
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,720
Is that it?

163
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,759
>> Yeah, I think so.

164
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:38,710
>> Okay. Thank you.

165
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,280

00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,760
And I think I've been through it a

190
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,519
couple of times, more than once, more

191
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:52,880
than twice. I think it is a it's on par

192
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,360
with a wonderfully choreographed

193
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,959
ballet. I think the

194
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:04,560
what is being done out there everything

195
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:08,160
considered couldn't be

196
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,920
I don't I don't believe it could be done

197
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,440
any better uh with the flaggers and

198
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,720
considering how tight it is.

199
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,399
I get so frustrated when I look at all

200
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,480
the negative

201
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,670
comments.

202
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:32,480
I almost react. I just say cheers

203
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,480
to those that are in charge of moving

204
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,720
traffic through that extremely tight,

205
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,320
extremely

206
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,320
challenging

207
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,120
project to be done. That's it. That's what I want to do is recognize I

208
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,480
think it's really being done

209
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,550
wonderfully.

210
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,560
» Thanks, Skip. Any more comments from the

211

00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,720
be removed, may I have a motion to

223
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,399

00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:38,320
>> So moved.

225
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,160

achievements in 2025. Next slide,

287
00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:53,440
please.

288
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,440
To start off, we will give you some

289
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,440
background on the commission and review

290
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,200
the work completed by the commission in

291
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,959
2025. Next slide, please.

292
00:13:02,959 --> 00:13:04,639
Clark County, as everywhere in the

293
00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:06,639
country, is anticipating a surge in the

294
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:09,120
number of residents 60 or better. By

295
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,839
2035, one in four Clark County residents

296
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:14,320
will be 60 or older. With the knowledge

297
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,839
of this coming change, the county

298
00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:17,519
council approved the original aging

299
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:20,000
readiness plan in 2012 and formed the

300
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,760
nine member volunteer commission on

301
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,079
aging. The commission's charge is to

302
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:25,839
provide leadership in addressing the

303
00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:28,320
special needs of the aging population

304
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,560
and to manage assist with the

305
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:32,320
implementation of the county's aging

306
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,560
readiness plan and to update the plan as

307
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:40,069
needs change. Next slide, please.

308
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:42,320
The aging readiness plan is a long range

309
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,000
planning document that assesses the

310
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,839
county's readiness to serve as a home

311
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:48,320
for a growing number of older residents.

312
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,399
The recommendations in our aging

313
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:52,880
readiness plan focus on topics such as

314
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,399
missing or lacking public

315
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:56,079
infrastructure,

316
00:13:56,079 --> 00:13:58,480
support for social services, and zoning

317
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,320
and planning standards that encourage an

318
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,399
age friendly community that older adults

319
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:04,880
can thrive in. The 10-year update of the

320
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,519
ARP was adopted by the county council in

321
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:10,320
September of 2023 to ensure that the

322
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,240
plan reflected the community's needs,

323
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,399
public engagement, and was a focus of

324
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:16,800
the update of the ARP. It centered on

325
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,959
what makes Clark County an age friendly

326
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:20,880
place, and what opportunities and

327
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,079
hurdles there are for making

328
00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:24,560
improvements. Engagement activities

329
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,440
included a survey of older adults,

330
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,040
focused group meetings with service

331
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,160
providers and agencies, online input

332
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,920
opportunities, and three public

333
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,760
workshops to evaluate existing

334
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,079
strategies, brainstorm ideas for new

335
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:39,680
strategies, and prioritize the

336
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,279
strategies for improvements in the

337
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:45,590
community. Next slide, please.

338
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,360
The commission was honored to learn that

339
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,639
the updated plan was awarded a 2024

340
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:52,800
Governor's Smart Communities Award from

341
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,240

342
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,000
Commerce. The Governor's Smart

344
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,000
implementation of the state's growth

345
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,079
management act and other local or

346
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:04,240
regional planning procedures. The plan

347
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,000
received judge merit award which

348
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,920
recognizes success in more than one

349
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:14,230
judge category. Next slide, please.

350
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,680
Now I have to figure out how to eat

351
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,880
this. Hi, I'm Ellen Rogers. I'm the past

352
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,839
chair of the Clark County Commission on

353
00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:26,639
Aging. So, I'm going to go through a few

354
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:28,639
things about the aging readiness plan.

355
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,120
includes 18

356
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,680
goals that are implemented through 67

357
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,839
strategies. These strategies are

358
00:15:35,839 --> 00:15:37,600
intended to improve the community's

359
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,399
capacity to support its growing older

360
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:42,959
population and ultimately benefit all

361
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:45,600
ages. The housing chapter provides

362
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,279
strategies to address the various

363
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,440
housing needs of the aging community

364
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,519
such as multi-generational

365
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:54,079
living options and affordable units. It

366
00:15:54,079 --> 00:15:56,399
also supports construction that enables

367
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:58,959
people to age in place which generally

368
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:00,800
means staying in their own home or

369
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,600
community if their abilities change. The

370
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,839
mobility chapter includes strategies

371
00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:08,160
based on the transportation and mobility

372
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,880
needs of older adults. It outlines ways

373
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,519
that older adults tend to travel and

374
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:15,759
other areas that could use improvements

375
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,079
such as public transit, ADA

376
00:16:18,079 --> 00:16:20,560

382
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,199
affected by natural and human cause

383
00:16:35,199 --> 00:16:37,199
hazards and outlines ways that the

384
00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:39,199
county can improve the health and safety

385
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:41,680
of older adults and methods to prepare

386
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,240

And I realized looking back that at

561
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,960
least in my family, that was something

562
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,280
that had happened in more than one

563
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,400
generation to a degree. Uh my mother

564
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,240
took her father in after her husband had

565
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,720
died and when he was alone and his wife

566
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,279
had died. Prior to that when I was

567
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:24,240
growing up my father's mother lived with

568
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,880
us until I went off to school. And uh so

569
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,440
often what I've seen is that many

570
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,159
children who have been properly raised

571
00:24:36,159 --> 00:24:40,159
by their parents, not abused and not

572
00:24:40,159 --> 00:24:42,320
given clear

573
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,080
distinctive reasons to push them away,

574
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,000
feel that their job ends when they find

575
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,640
a proper care facility for their parent.

576
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,600
I agree that if a person can stay in the

577
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,840
home or stay in the home they're

578
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,480
familiar with as long as possible, their

579
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,600
quality of life generally is better. So,

580
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,320
I wanted to make that comment. Secondly,

581
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,440
I'm curious uh regarding the commission.

582
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,200
How many are on the commission?

583
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,640
>> We have nine members.

584
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,559
>> And is it fully staffed now or do you

585
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:13,440
have openings?

586
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,520
>> Yes, we just filled our last two

587
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,559
openings. So, we are now fully staffed.

588
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:20,640
And what is the age range of the people

589
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,080
that are on the commission? Your best

590
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,760
guess from youngest to oldest?

591
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,799
>> I would say from

592
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:33,760
early 40s up till 80. I would think that

593
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,600
out of the nine members of the

594
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,240
commission, I believe four may be

595
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,840
retired.

596
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,000
Four out of the nine are retired. The

597
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,720
other five are still working that

598
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,200
haven't reached retirement age.

599
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,440
Uh, I'm glad to hear the range is that

600
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,679
broad. I didn't see it in the photos

601
00:25:51,679 --> 00:25:55,520
that were on the screen. Uh, and I think

602
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,320
that when I look at a community and I

603
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,760
look at the activities and the events

604
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,279
that a community is creating, I like to

605
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,799
see things going on in a community

606
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:09,760
that draw a broad range of ages. So, if

607
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,640
there's an event where 10 year olds are

608
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,279
performing and the grandparents show up

609
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:17,679
to see their grandchildren and then

610
00:26:17,679 --> 00:26:20,480
there's a band off to the side and

611
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,559
there's chalk art, there's a blend of

612
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,360
something that draws a broad range of

613
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:28,720
ages. I think that's important because I

614
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,159
think one of the things that ensures a

615
00:26:32,159 --> 00:26:34,880
higher quality of life is when we see

616
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,679
people enjoying themselves of all ages.

617
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:39,760
When we experience different points of

618
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,279
view and when we have the opportunity to

619
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:46,000
mingle with people that we don't

620
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,640
normally hang out with, we tend to hang

621
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,720
out in my age group with older people

622
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,159
because I fit the mix right now. Uh

623
00:26:56,159 --> 00:26:58,240
unfortunately

624
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,960
uh you know I I know that my

625
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,360
grandchildren who are 50 years younger

626
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,679
than me at least

627
00:27:05,679 --> 00:27:08,240
uh don't look forward for every

628
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,080
opportunity they have to spend time with

629
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,559
me because they have other things they'd

630
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:14,080
want to do too but anything that can

631
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,080
bring the age groups together I think is

632
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,480
important. Appreciate you being here.

633
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,080
Thank you for putting up with my

634
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,039
comments.

635
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:23,440
>> Oh no problem. Part of what our aging

636
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,919
readiness plan is to cover various areas

637
00:27:25,919 --> 00:27:28,240
such as healthy communities, civic

638
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,360
involvement, emergency preparedness,

639
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,320
housing, transportation. This past year,

640
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,080
uh uh we focused on housing and

641
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,640
transportation. Next month in September,

642
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,520
we have a uh 3 to four hour planning

643
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,840
meeting to plan for the next year. And

644
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,600
we're already looking at healthy

645
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,120
communities. And I do believe

646
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,080
interaction between different age groups

647
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,240
as well as just getting people out of

648
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,960
the house and involved. Uh I mentioned

649
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,720
when I was interviewing for the

650
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,039
commission a couple of years ago that

651
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:01,919
we're always uh advised about retirement

652
00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:05,600
plans and uh uh for our health and

653
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,440
finances, but nobody tells you what to

654
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,360
do with that other 40 hours a week that

655
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,760
you're leaving behind. And so social

656
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,720
isolation becomes a big issue. And so

657
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,720
part of our aging readiness plan is to

658
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,840
bring forth those uh opportunities for

659
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,120
seniors to uh to socialize and to have a

660
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:26,080
life outside of their home. So uh uh if

661
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,320
you get the opportunity, I' I' I'd like

662
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,720
you to have the opportunity to check out

663
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,679
our aging readiness plan and to see the

664
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:35,520
broad base that we have. We also have

665
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,000
meetings on the third Monday of every

666
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,279
month. uh uh we have a work session uh

667
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:45,360
from 3:15 to 4:15, but at 4:30 we begin

668
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,919
our fireside chats where we bring these

669
00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:50,000
experts and people from de different

670
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,120
groups in to present to us and there's a

671
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,960
lot of great information. And I wasn't

672
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,880
aware until I joined the commission of

673
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,320
how widespread of a support organization

674
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,799
that of support organizations that Clark

675
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:05,120
County has. And a lot of questions that

676
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,880
people come up with, you see on Facebook

677
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,520
or Next Door, whatever. There's a lot of

678
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,679
information. We try to to bring that

679
00:29:11,679 --> 00:29:14,320
information out to to people uh as much

680
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,520
as possible. So,

681
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,159
>> thank you.

682
00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:19,360
>> Any other questions?

683
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,120
>> I was just going to add um all those

684
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,919
meetings are also on CBT. Yes. So you

685
00:29:23,919 --> 00:29:25,919
can actually look up our agendas if

686
00:29:25,919 --> 00:29:28,480
there was a topic. So like this year we

687
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,880
focused on like Mike said healthy

688
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,360
community sorry housing and um

689
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,919
transportation. So we kind of flip-flop

690
00:29:35,919 --> 00:29:38,159
back and forth each month but there's

691
00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:41,919
some really great information on both

692
00:29:41,919 --> 00:29:45,120
how we are dealing with um issues in

693
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,520
housing and different innovations that

694
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,080
have been seen across the state in

695
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,559
housing. And also we talked a lot about

696
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:54,720
the transportation planning process and

697
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,399
the challenges with that. So it was a

698
00:29:56,399 --> 00:29:59,440
really interesting year

699
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,360
if you want to go back and look at any

700
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:02,480
of our meetings.

701
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,520
>> Yeah, our meetings are recorded by CCTV

702
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,159
and I think there's at least five years.

703
00:30:08,159 --> 00:30:10,799
>> Yeah. five years or more on file so that

704
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:13,679
you if you don't can't be available on a

705
00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:16,320
Monday at 4:30 you can always look back

706
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,960
and see the uh presentations that have

707
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,679
been done and uh and honestly they are

708
00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:23,360
some of the best presentations I've

709
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,039
experienced and I was a not very naive

710
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:29,440
I'm 70 years old and I did not know all

711
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,760
the uh opportunities for services there

712
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,919
were in the county until I joined the

713
00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:35,919
commission and we've done a I think an

714
00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:38,000
excellent job of presenting information

715
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,640
from from local nonprofits and

716
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,590
governmental agencies and that

717
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,200
» very good. Anything else?

718
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,240
>> Yeah.

719
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,360
>> Thank you. That was very

720
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,120
>> All right. Thank you guys very much.

721
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:51,520
>> Thank you.

722
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,789
>> We appreciate you

723
00:30:56,799 --> 00:30:59,679
» Mr. Mayor Pro Tim. Uh we had an issue

724
00:30:59,679 --> 00:31:01,840
during uh public comment

725
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,320
>> and one of the folks online was not able

726
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,200
to get through and have her

727
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,200
>> three minutes. Uh she's here in the

728
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,919
audience now and I was wondering if

729
00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:13,600
>> with your permission if we could allow

730
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,840
her the three minutes to provide public

731
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,200
comment.

732
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,320
>> Yeah, absolutely.

733
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:24,389
>> Thank you.

734
00:31:24,399 --> 00:31:26,240
Is this considered

735
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,600
>> Is this a special treatment

736
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:27,919
>> today?

737
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:30,000
>> Is this special treatment?

00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,600
mother was born here in Le Center when

744
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,000
it was a little town. Um so yes, Skip,

745
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,519
the uh people that are doing the work

746
00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:49,120
out there, they do a great job.

747
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,440
Everybody does a great job, but I'm

748
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,640
totally against uh any growth. Um right

749
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,600
now, our resources here in Clark County

750
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,440
are depleting. People just don't know

751
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,679
it. People don't even know to come here

752
00:32:01,679 --> 00:32:04,399
and uh run their government. Uh they

753
00:32:04,399 --> 00:32:05,919
think the government's supposed to run

754
00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:08,240
us. It's the other way around. We run

755
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,080
the government. I'd like to commend this

756
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,240
young man for bringing up the fact that

757
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,760
they want a a skate bowl. I think that

758
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,320
the public should get their way. He's

759
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,640
part of the public and uh I think it's a

760
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,399
great idea. If you guys want more

761
00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:24,480
families to move in here, let's satisfy

762
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,799
the kids for God's sake. Okay, so let's

763
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:29,360
get that skate bowl.

764
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,080
Um I do want to talk about a little bit.

765
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,399
I wish there were more people here about

766
00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:36,559
the uh roundabout that's going to go in

767
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:39,440
on Timmans Landing and Lenter Road. If

768
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,519
you think we got problems now, wait

769
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:44,080
until that uh roundabout goes in. I know

770
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,000
some people want it. They think it's

771
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,760
going to slow traffic down. Well, it

772
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,600
probably will, except I think there's

773
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,600
going to be a lot of accidents. I cannot

774
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,519
imagine coming down that hill. I've

775
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:55,679
practiced it many times. For one thing,

776
00:32:55,679 --> 00:32:58,640
I'm going to ruin my brakes and uh slow

777
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,440
down to 20 to 15 miles an hour around a

778
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,240
downhill. We're just asking for a a

779
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,919
problem there. But then again, I didn't

780
00:33:05,919 --> 00:33:08,880
want them to take Landing, a historical

781
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,440
site that should be on the historical

782
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,519
registry in Clark County, and they're

783
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:15,039
going to put buildings there and

784
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,279
everything else because of growth. I'm

785
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:19,360
totally against that. I've asked Clark

786
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,360
County for a couple years now to put a

787
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,240
five-year no growth overlay over Clark

788
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,200
County because of our resources and

789
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,919
population pollution.

790
00:33:29,919 --> 00:33:33,360
Uh, also I'd like to mention that um I

791
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,000
do have a court date. Uh, a code

792
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,840
enforcement came to my house here a few

793
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,840
months ago. Um, I totally resent it. Um,

794
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,360
I don't like the government telling me

795
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,799
what to do, especially when I do not

796
00:33:44,799 --> 00:33:46,480
commit a crime.

797
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,440
So I am going to court uh court for it.

798
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,279
Um this man came up with no credentials,

799
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:57,840
no uh uniform, no nothing. And anyway,

800
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,840
I'll talk more about that. I've been uh

801
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,799
mentioning it u the last few meetings.

802
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:06,559
Um you know, I want to mention

803
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:08,399
also if you listen to Clark County

804
00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:10,800
Council, they are looking for two areas

805
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,399
for a garbage transfer station. The uh

806
00:34:14,399 --> 00:34:16,159
three transfer stations here in Clark

807
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:18,320
County are getting old. I don't know how

808
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,879
that works, but they get old. I guess uh

809
00:34:20,879 --> 00:34:22,399
pollution probably down into the

810
00:34:22,399 --> 00:34:25,040
groundwater would be one reason why, but

811
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,240
they want to put it they were going to

812
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:28,399
try to put it unless uh in Ridgefield.

813
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:30,240
So, just be the for the lookout that

814
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:31,599
there's going to be transfer centers

815
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:33,760
somewhere around here. We got to figure

816
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,200
out where to put our garbage. I guess

817
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,040
that's going to be where. But if you

818
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,440
look it up, it also causes a lot of

819
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,399
pollution uh not only in our wellwater,

820
00:34:42,399 --> 00:34:44,960
but um we're in big trouble, folks.

821
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,440
Let's take care of our town the way it

822
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,919
is. Thank you. God bless us.

823
00:34:49,919 --> 00:34:52,560
>> Thank you.

824
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,030
>> Okay.

825
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,960
» All right. Uh moving on, we're going to

826
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,680
have the mayor's report. Um, the Lent

827
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,000
Farmers Market will be at Legacy Park

828
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,000
every Sunday from 1 to 5:00 p.m. August

829
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,640
16th through October 25th. So, that's

830
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,240
kind of exciting. Up here at the new

831
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:13,599
park right behind the fire station

832
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:16,880
there. Um, city hall will be closed u to

833
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,400
observe the Labor Day holiday on um

834
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,119
September 7th. Um, from there, we're

835
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:24,880
going to go to the attorney's report.

836
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,520
Beth, are you with us?

837
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,160
>> I'm with you. Hello, everyone. I don't

838
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,599
have a ton to say today. I hope

839
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:33,359
everybody's having a nice end of their

840
00:35:33,359 --> 00:35:36,720
summer. Um, and always if you feel if

841
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:38,160
you have anything you need help with,

842
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,240
always please feel free to contact me.

843
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,720
And that's it. I'll end it early.

844
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:43,920
>> All right. Any questions for the

845
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,950
attorney?

846
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,520
» All right. Uh, next up is council

847
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,560
comments. Uh, council member Rabara.

848
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,200
I wanted to comment on Legacy Park and

849
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,000
the farmers market and the food trucks

850
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,320
and what's going on there. Uh,

851
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,880
personally, I'm very impressed with it.

852
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,480
The last two weekends I've been to the

853
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,880
farmers market along with my wife,

854
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,119
talked with all the vendors. They seem

855
00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:12,880
to be excited. Uh, we need more people

856
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,599
going. So, I'd encourage you if you

857
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:16,960
believe in it, if you think it's an

858
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,280
asset for the community that you mention

859
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,119
it to friends, you mention it to people.

860
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:23,599
suggest they try it out. Try out one of

861
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:25,920
the food trucks and just go see what's

862
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,480
there during the week and on Sunday

863
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,560
afternoon when farmers markets there.

864
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,200
That's all I have for tonight

865
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,119
>> at the at the moment.

866
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:37,839
>> Thank you very much. Um I'm going to

867
00:36:37,839 --> 00:36:39,520
skip myself and move me to the last

868
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,359
position and I'll move on to Council

869
00:36:41,359 --> 00:36:43,200
Member France.

870
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,880
>> Good evening. Thank you for everyone

871
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,440
coming this evening. And I do want to

872
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,920
kind of piggyback on to what um Council

873
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,599
Member Ravar said because I went both uh

874
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:55,359
Sundays, the last two Sundays since it

875
00:36:55,359 --> 00:36:58,400
opened to the farmers market and it's a

876
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,160
great little market. There were several

877
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,320
vendors there. I thought they seemed

878
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,800
excited to be there. I bought a lot of

879
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,240
stuff.

880
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:07,839
There was one lady that had was making

881
00:37:07,839 --> 00:37:10,960
birdhouses and had windchimes

882
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,839
and um lots of uh produce and

883
00:37:15,839 --> 00:37:18,880
um spices. One part uh place was selling

884
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,839
spices. So I thought I was impressed

885
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:24,240
with it especially it's just starting

886
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,480
and so I would encourage people to

887
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,400
attend that too. And I did try out the

888
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,680
um Thai food truck and I'm going to try

889
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,680
all of them out, but I did try out the

890
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,760
Thai food truck. My husband was with me,

891
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,359
too. And uh it was very, very good Thai

892
00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:44,079
food. And uh the other thing I'll

893
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:46,160
mention I probably everybody heard that

894
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,240
Dolly Parton died today and uh you know

895
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,440
just her whole personality her music her

896
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,000
songwriting but that's I think one of

897
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,920
the biggest things that she wants to be

898
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,160
remembered for is that she started the

899
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,440
Imagination Library in 1995

900
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,520
and I know that council member Ravara

901
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,160
has mentioned that before because Dolly

902
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,200
has been responsible I believe for it's

903
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,280
several millions ions of kids getting

904
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,640
books and that was her dad never learned

905
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,960
to read and so this was something really

906
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,119
important to her that people especially

907
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:23,119
that didn't have money that could get

908
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:24,880
these free books for their kids from

909
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,359
birth until I think kindergarten or

910
00:38:27,359 --> 00:38:28,640
something they could get these free

911
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,800
books sent to them so it's a great

912
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,599
organization you can Google it uh

913
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:37,200
Imagination Library and something that

914
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,280
uh from all the reports that I'm reading

915
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,040
that Dolly something she really wanted

916
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,880
to be remembered remembered for. So, I

917
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,359
think it's something important. So,

918
00:38:45,359 --> 00:38:47,680
that's all I got for tonight.

919
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,000
>> Thank you, uh, Council Member Cerviny.

920
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,520

942
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,520
Getting to know you guys and, you know,

943
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,240
hear your voices and what's important to

944
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:58,320
you and be able to be here to represent

945
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,839
you. It's been a huge deal for me. Um,

946
00:40:01,839 --> 00:40:05,280
gosh, I'm worse for this. But, uh,

947
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,119
I guess, uh, moving forward, you know,

948
00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:09,040
it's been about five years and three

949
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,320
months since I first had the little pea

950
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,240
brain thought to run for city council

951
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:16,560
after just moving to the center. And,

952
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,000
you know, I thought I just was kind of

953
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,440
doing it for fun at the time. And then

954
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,599
when I uh made the primary by four

955
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:24,160
votes, I was like, "Wow, maybe I can do

956
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,960
this." There was a guy um that was

957
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,400
sitting council member who had been on

958
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,079
for 12 years, and I didn't really think

959
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:32,560
I had a chance, but I gave it my all.

960
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,400
Sure enough, made my way up here. So,

961
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,320
it's been a lot of fun. I think we've

962
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,200
accomplished a ton in my, you know,

963
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,480
five, well, in my fifth year of council.

964
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,880
Um yeah, it's been great. It's been a

965
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,839
pleasure to serve and honor and uh can't

966
00:40:47,839 --> 00:40:49,520
say I'm really going anywhere. Just

967
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,680
gonna focus more on these two right here

968
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,800
and few little work adventures and stuff

969
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,000
like that. But um and I also may be

970
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
back. I don't know. So, it's been a

971
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:09,589
pleasure and thank you guys very much.

972
00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:13,359
All right. Um, now we got the Clark

973
00:41:13,359 --> 00:41:15,359
County Sheriff's Sheriff's Office staff

974
00:41:15,359 --> 00:41:17,440
report and that will be presented by

975
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,240
Chief Barnes.

976
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:21,920
>> Oh, one second. Finley, you can go on

977
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:27,270
your iPad now

978
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,200
or pay attention because it's really

979
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,069
exciting stuff here. So,

980
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:36,000
uh, good evening, uh, Mayor Prom,

981
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,440
council members, and thanks to those in

982
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,160
attendance both in person and online.

983
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,240
Uh

984
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:45,359
copies of the July 2026 uh report have

985
00:41:45,359 --> 00:41:46,800
been submitted and I'm going to review

986
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,079
some of the highlights here. Starting

987
00:41:48,079 --> 00:41:51,599
with the summary um events reported or

988
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:53,359
initiated by deputies assigned to the

989
00:41:53,359 --> 00:41:56,640
center precinct totaled uh 281 for the

990
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,880
month of July. So you can see that

991
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,000
breakdown there included uh 71 traffic

992
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,680
stops uh resulting in 15 citations uh

993
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,920
moving citations. Uh that doesn't

994
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,240
account for another half dozen criminal

995
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:12,560
citations that generated from those 71

996
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,920
traffic stops. Uh the next page shows

997
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:21,680
the contact breakdowns. Um sorry there you go.

998
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,839
Uh shows the contact breakdowns for the

999
00:42:23,839 --> 00:42:26,079
last two months. Uh the first chart as

1000
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:27,520
well as the results. So on the left

1001
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,599
there it shows the type of contact that

1002
00:42:29,599 --> 00:42:32,560
was had uh for both June and July. And

1003
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,640
then the right chart shows the result

1004
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,240
meaning how it was cleared whether it

1005
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:39,680
was a arrest citation um a referral

1006
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,520
report.

1007
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,119
Uh

1008
00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:44,880
if we go to the next slide calls for

1009
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,040
service uh in July compared to June

1010
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,079
um stayed fairly consistent. Uh the

1011
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:54,000
increase that is shown there is in the

1012
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,839
green band which is the self-initiated

1013
00:42:55,839 --> 00:42:57,119
which means the deputies are out there

1014
00:42:57,119 --> 00:42:59,760
proactively working uh contacting the

1015
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,960
public and uh generating reports or

1016
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,520
contact reports.

1017
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,119
Uh we had several notable calls in the

1018
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:12,880
month of July. Um I'll cover just a

1019
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,000
couple of them real quick. Uh first I'll

1020
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,680
talk about is a DUI collision. This

1021
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,359
happened up at uh Timman Road and

1022
00:43:19,359 --> 00:43:23,440
Spencer Road. Um when deputy arrived,

1023
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,680
the owner of the motorcycle was pushing

1024
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,359
the motorcycle back onto the street with

1025
00:43:27,359 --> 00:43:30,079
the help of three firefighters. Uh when

1026
00:43:30,079 --> 00:43:32,240
he was contacted by the deputy, he said

1027
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:35,280
that uh he hadn't pushed hadn't crashed

1028
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:36,720
the bike. He hadn't been riding the

1029
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:39,040
bike. He told the deputy that the bike

1030
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,839
had been stolen uh and he had just found

1031
00:43:41,839 --> 00:43:45,520
it because he was out on a walk. Uh he

1032
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,200
told the deputy that he hadn't pushed it

1033
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,040
out of the bushes and that he didn't

1034
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,319
know anything about the firefighters

1035
00:43:50,319 --> 00:43:54,319
helping him. Uh he had a quite a few

1036
00:43:54,319 --> 00:43:55,920
stories. He actually told them that he

1037
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,079
had stopped to check his UPS and then

1038
00:43:58,079 --> 00:43:59,839
corrected it to GPS because he thought

1039
00:43:59,839 --> 00:44:02,319
he was lost. Uh needless to say, that

1040
00:44:02,319 --> 00:44:04,319
individual was processed and arrested

1041
00:44:04,319 --> 00:44:06,000
and booked into the Clark County Jail

1042
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,400
for DUI.

1043
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,680
Uh on July 24th, Deputy Nick Price

1044
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,240
contacted two sus uh suspicious males

1045
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:16,800
outside of a Ford Ranger up at Riverside

1046
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,440
Park on the north end of town.

1047
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,040
Uh one of the males had multiple

1048
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,280
warrants and was arrested. Uh in the

1049
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,520
process of making the arrest, uh Deputy

1050
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,359
Price noticed a large amount of drug

1051
00:44:27,359 --> 00:44:30,720
paraphernalia inside the pickup. So he

1052
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:33,839
uh he impounded the pickup. He obtained

1053
00:44:33,839 --> 00:44:35,359
a search warrant. He served the search

1054
00:44:35,359 --> 00:44:38,000
warrant. Uh several drug smoking pipes,

1055
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,440
supplies associated with drug

1056
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,520
distribution, including scales, baggies,

1057
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,760
and a log book were located. Uh

1058
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,280
additional charges were added to the

1059
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,880
male who was still in custody for the

1060
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,960
original warrant. So, uh we are uh very

1061
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,319
proud of the fact that we can take a

1062
00:44:52,319 --> 00:44:54,720
basic contact like that and turn it into

1063
00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:58,720
serious felony arrest. So um

1064
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:01,680
one thing of note that's not on that uh

1065
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,160
sheet up there is our participation in

1066
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,079
our days end of July. I think that was

1067
00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:08,079
very very successful. We have we had our

1068
00:45:08,079 --> 00:45:10,480
open house on Friday night. It was very

1069
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,480
well attended. Had uh I think we had

1070
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,520
over 120 families members including kids

1071
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,599
come through the precinct. So that was

1072
00:45:17,599 --> 00:45:20,319
fun. We had a uh a booth there in the in

1073
00:45:20,319 --> 00:45:22,400
the park and had a chance to talk uh

1074
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:23,760
with the public, answer a lot of

1075
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,960
questions. Uh so I think that was was very successful.

1076
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:34,560
Um going down to the last page there, as we've mentioned uh in prior

1077
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,480
presentations, each month the deputies

1078
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,319
and the staff assigned to the uh the

1079
00:45:38,319 --> 00:45:39,839
center precinct work together to focus

1080
00:45:39,839 --> 00:45:42,640
on an outreach project or a theme. Uh

1081
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,240
these projects can be law enforcement

1082
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:46,560
issues, community safety concerns, or

1083
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,400
education, information sharing. In July,

1084
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,079
the deputies made a focused outreach

1085
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:54,560
effort to educate and enfor statutes

1086
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:55,920
regarding electric bikes and

1087
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,400
motorcycles. The community concern

1088
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,160
regarding these types of electronically

1089
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,920
powered or assisted bikes and scooters

1090
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,599
has been steadily increasing for some

1091
00:46:03,599 --> 00:46:05,920
time. As part of our focused effort,

1092
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,440
deputies were out contacting and

1093
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,440
educating operators as well as their

1094
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,520
parents uh regarding the regulations

1095
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,920
associated with the ebikes. The vast

1096
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,520
majority of these contacts were very

1097
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,560
productive and received well.

1098
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,839
some not so well, but that's okay. Um,

1099
00:46:21,839 --> 00:46:23,760
in addition to the contacts around town,

1100
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,200
I participated in the new ordinance

1101
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,280
drafting process and was very pleased to

1102
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,119
have the opportunity to contribute to

1103
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:30,880
this uh from a law enforcement

1104
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,960
perspective. So, thank you uh to the

1105
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,560
council for allowing me to to

1106
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,359
participate in that. The team team also

1107
00:46:37,359 --> 00:46:39,599
obtained handouts that were printed and

1108
00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:41,599
made available public. These handouts

1109
00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:43,119
were given to the public during contacts

1110
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:45,359
that the deputies made as well as having

1111
00:46:45,359 --> 00:46:46,960
them available at multiple locations

1112
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,720
including here at city hall at our

1113
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:51,680
precinct at the library. Uh we are also

1114
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,480
working um very closely with the school

1115
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,280
district. Uh we are eagerly awaiting uh

1116
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,079
the city's uh final ordinance and we've

1117
00:47:00,079 --> 00:47:01,680
already uh made at least a tentative

1118
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,119
plan to work with the school district

1119
00:47:03,119 --> 00:47:05,440
using their uh email distribution list

1120
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,440
to try and reach out to parents in the

1121
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,160
district and educate them on the new

1122
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,760
ordinance once it's in place. So we're

1123
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,280
really really optimistic between the

1124
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,520
deputies enforcement efforts and the

1125
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:16,960
public outreach partnership with the

1126
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,079
school that we're going to be really

1127
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:20,160
successful.

1128
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,800
Uh this concludes my report. Any

1129
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,520
questions?

1130
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,839
Council, any comments, questions?

1131
00:47:27,839 --> 00:47:29,680
>> I have just one. I was wondering what

1132
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,520
the red color coding means when it's

1133
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,240
darker versus lighter

1134
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:37,040
>> on page one or two of your report on the

1135
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:42,160
left side up up more there.

1136
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,400
>> Oh, those those are just that in order

1137
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,240
of uh uh the the numbers. So, it's just

1138
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:51,040
the uh the highest scoring in those

1139
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:51,680
categories.

1140
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,440
>> They get redder as they go up. Yeah.

1141
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:57,200
Okay.

1142
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,520
>> Um, just a comment on the ebikes. It

1143
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,200
seems like since we started talking

1144
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,000
about this that now I'm just seeing them

1145
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,400
everywhere. And after going to that

1146
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,800
block party I was invited to where 42

1147
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,839
people complained about the ebikes uh

1148
00:48:11,839 --> 00:48:15,119
being on the sidewalks and young kids uh

1149
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:18,640
driving them without helmets on and um

1150
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,400
sometimes dashing out into the street

1151
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,480
with them. And and then of course in

1152
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,839
Battleground last week uh there was a a

1153
00:48:25,839 --> 00:48:30,000
car crash versus a a bike and um so I

1154
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,079
think it's really something we are going

1155
00:48:32,079 --> 00:48:33,680
to have to obviously we're going to have

1156
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,640
to make some ordinances to help in this

1157
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,480
situation. We don't want somebody to get

1158
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,440
accidentally killed or hurt seriously.

1159
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,640
So thank you Todd.

1160
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,640
I think uh with the ebikes, our uh

1161
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,440
biggest concern is safety.

1162
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,520
>> I know somebody in the audience that has

1163
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,079
lots to say about it, but we can talk

1164
00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:57,910
about it after.

1165
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,800
All right. Uh thank you, Chief. Um next

1166
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,920
we have another uh uh staff report and

1167
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,839
that's going to be read by Peter Boyce.

1168
00:49:07,839 --> 00:49:12,319
>> Thank you, Sant Prom Council. Uh, one

00:49:12,319 --> 00:49:14,880

1176
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,040
>> Very cool.

1177
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,160
>> All right. Um, back to the staff report.

1178
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,520
Um,

1179
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,599
>> the sales tax dispersement uh for the

1180
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:46,710
month of July came in at $73,657.

1181
00:49:46,720 --> 00:49:50,000
Uh, so we're right on line with uh where

1182
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,839
we budgeted

1183
00:49:51,839 --> 00:49:55,359
uh for the year year to date uh through

1184
00:49:55,359 --> 00:50:00,950
July we're at $460,96.

1185
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,640
Uh wanted to mention the budget

1186
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,040
committee. Uh we rescheduled their

1187
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,119
meeting uh which was supposed to happen

1188
00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:10,400
today. Uh I haven't sent out the

1189
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,720
invitation yet to uh members, but it

1190
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:15,920
looks like September 2nd uh Wednesday

1191
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,640
will be the day. Uh so that will be

1192
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,280
coming out early tomorrow morning. Uh

1193
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,760
the committee is going to review 2027

1194
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,440
expenditures u and revenues. Uh the

1195
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,280
final budget committee meeting will take

1196
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,160
place September 30th.

1197
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,520
Uh city council's expected to receive or

1198
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,319
required to receive a copy uh of the

1199
00:50:38,319 --> 00:50:41,520
2027 proposed budget uh on the first

1200
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,920
Monday in October and then council will

1201
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,480
start its work.

1202
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,559
Um just to mention again the salary

1203
00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:51,520
commission is going to be activated and

1204
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,400
uh what the salary commission does is uh

1205
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,480
review elected officials uh stipens and

1206
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,559
uh uh compensation. Uh so the salary

1207
00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:05,280
commission has the power to uh provide

1208
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,760
increases, leave it the same or even a

1209
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,920
decrease. Um uh so they'll be looking at

1210
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,240
information uh uh regarding what other

1211
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:19,280
cities are doing uh reviewing uh the

1212
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,280
city of L center and uh making a a

1213
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:28,000
determination. So that will be coming.

1214
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,160
Also wanted to mention that uh in my

1215
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,000

1219
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,839
she's taking the opportunity to go to

1220
00:51:43,839 --> 00:51:46,240
Scotland to graduate school. So, we wish

1221
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:48,079
her the best of luck. It's going to be a

1222
00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:51,599
great uh life-changing event for her.

1223
00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:53,119
So, we're excited. It's a little

1224
00:51:53,119 --> 00:51:55,280
bittersweet. We hate to see her go, but

1225
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,319
it's a great opportunity. she shouldn't

1226
00:51:58,319 --> 00:52:03,280
miss out on. Uh we have hired Maggie

1227
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,680
uh Mey Redden uh as the outreach

1228
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,240
coordinator. She started last Friday and

1229
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:11,839
has been crossraining with uh Hannah. Uh

1230
00:52:11,839 --> 00:52:15,839
so you will uh uh start to see Maggie

1231
00:52:15,839 --> 00:52:18,800
taking over those duties and she'll be

1232
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,359
um assuming all the duties Hannah uh has

1233
00:52:21,359 --> 00:52:23,200
up to this point. So, we're excited to

1234
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,440
have her on.

1235
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:30,480
Uh, gambling tax revenue. Uh, so for the

month of July, it came in at $142,729.

1237
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,599
Um, again, we're right where we thought

1238
00:52:39,599 --> 00:52:42,319
we would be revenue-wise. Uh, for the

1239
00:52:42,319 --> 00:52:45,359
year, we're at uh year to date, we're at

1240

Okay. Uh moving on. Uh under ordinances,

>> Yep. You sound great.

1254
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:26,960
>> All right. Well, good evening, uh,

1255
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,200
council and citizens. Uh, tonight for

1256
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,440
public hearing, we have, uh, the

1257
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,520
extension of the, uh,

1258
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,200
development/panexation

1259
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:36,640
agreement with for the Carlson

1260
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,800
properties. Uh this agreement was

1261
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,440
originally um put together back in

1262
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,160
August of 2011

1263
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,040
um when the pre-annexation agreement um

1264
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,599
was put in place and that agreement uh

1265
00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:51,599
established zoning and development

1266
00:53:51,599 --> 00:53:54,800
standards for 14 different parcels um

1267
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,920
that were planned to come into the city.

1268
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,040
Um these properties make up most of the

1269
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,880
Lenner Junction area. um and the

1270
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,480
development agreement vested them to the

1271
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,800
city's then current uh target industrial

1272
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,359
and commercial zones. Uh a few years

1273
00:54:11,359 --> 00:54:14,319
later in 2017, the city uh eliminated

1274
00:54:14,319 --> 00:54:16,400
those codes and adopted the junction

1275
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,200
plan. Um however, with this development

1276
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:20,559
agreement, the Carlson properties

1277
00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:23,280
remained under those old codes. And as

1278
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,520
council is and uh citizens are now

1279
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,520
aware, we're in the process of revising

1280
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,880
our code um to look at bringing back

1281
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,800
maybe an industrial and commercial code

1282
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,800
and replace the the junction code. And

1283
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,440
um so as we continue this process, the

1284
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,839
Carlson's have asked us to continue or

1285
00:54:41,839 --> 00:54:45,040
extend this agreement. Um so before

1286
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,119
council for consideration and and public

1287
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:49,440
hearing tonight is an two-year extension

1288
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,000
to that agreement. Um, this will give us

1289
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,640
time to wrap up that new zoning code and

1290
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,280
um, get that in place. And while we're

1291
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:00,800
working in coordination with Carlson's

1292
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:02,319
and other property owners, um, you know,

1293
00:55:02,319 --> 00:55:03,920
we hope that this new code will be

1294
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,000
something that is uh, workable and and

1295
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,760
that everyone, you know, wants to fall

1296
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,000
under and built into this extension is

1297
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,160
the ability to uh, terminate this

1298
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,480
extension uh, at any time during that

1299
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,040
two years once that new code's in place.

1300
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,920
um if the Carlson's and their um you

1301
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,000
know property owners um that they own

1302
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,920
some of these properties with agree and

1303
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,400
that they want that new code to apply.

1304
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,240
Uh so with that I'm happy to answer any

1305
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:30,240
questions before uh council holds a

1306
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:34,390
public hearing on this matter.

1307
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,160
» Discussion. I just had one question. Is

1308
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,760
there anything we're voting on tonight

1309
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,750
other than perhaps

1310
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,680
uh opening public? It looked like in

1311
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,079
reading this that we were just voting to

1312
00:55:48,079 --> 00:55:50,640
open public discussion.

1313
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:51,119
>> Um

1314
00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:53,200
>> that was correct. So that would just be

1315
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,640
a public hearing tonight and then this

1316
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,400
will return at the next council meeting

1317
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,720
for um consideration.

1318
00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:02,870
>> That makes sense. Thank you.

1319
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,910
» Okay.

1320
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,240
» All right. At this time, I would like to

1321
00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:12,160
open the public hearing at 7:26 p.m.

1322
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:13,599
Comment should be limited to the

1323
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:16,480
ordinance 2026-04.

1324
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:17,839
Are there any public hearing comments

1325
00:56:17,839 --> 00:56:29,750
from the audience?

1326
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,119
» Curtis Raymond Carlson, 35915 Northwest

1327
00:56:33,119 --> 00:56:35,599
Jenny Creek Road.

1328
00:56:35,599 --> 00:56:40,079
uh and uh

1329
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:44,079
first of all via Mr. Cass's uh verbal

1330
00:56:44,079 --> 00:56:46,319
dialogue kind of cleared up one thing in

1331
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:51,200
the copy of the document I got from uh

1332
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,160
clerk today

1333
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,760
in section six the Brit makes reference

1334
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,359
to a one-year term but Mr. Cass made

1335
00:57:01,359 --> 00:57:04,160
reference to a two-year term on the

1336
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,960
extension, which that's one of the

1337
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:15,109
things I was going to ask about. Uh

1338
00:57:15,119 --> 00:57:17,520
because I think two years is in all

1339
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,799
reality is not unreasonable.

1340
00:57:20,799 --> 00:57:23,280
My when I talked with my sister about

1341
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,680
this, we thought about requesting a

1342
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,040
five-year term and not in reflection of

1343
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:33,839
the city of Lenter just in in in

1344
00:57:33,839 --> 00:57:38,000
reflection of how how slow things work.

1345
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,480
And the reality is a five-year term

1346
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,680
wouldn't be unreasonable to request, but

1347
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,559
we're just happy that this is being

1348
00:57:46,559 --> 00:57:51,599
acknowledged as as something that uh

1349
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:55,200
is important to have happen. Uh was

1350
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,839
important to the Carlson's. And when I

1351
00:57:57,839 --> 00:57:59,599
say the Carlson's, I mean the Carlson's

1352
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:01,359
at all because there are other property

1353
00:58:01,359 --> 00:58:03,200
owners. And that's a reference that is

1354
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,480
made in this document is other property

1355
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,000
other other individuals that are

1356
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,160
involved in this. Um

1357
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:16,240
and perhaps Mr. Cass can help me out.

1358
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:20,160
This in the event that there were a sale

1359
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,720
this would run and I don't see where

1360
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,359
it's carried in the in the sections in

1361
00:58:25,359 --> 00:58:28,000
here. This would run with the

1362
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,920
properties. Is that correct, Mr. Cass?

1363
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,079
Yes, that is correct. The the parcel

1364
00:58:34,079 --> 00:58:36,640
numbers um for all those 14 parcels are

1365
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,319
referenced by this document. So, it

1366
00:58:38,319 --> 00:58:40,079
would run with the parcel.

1367
00:58:40,079 --> 00:58:46,400
>> Okay. And that's that's all the just

1368
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:51,270
excuse me

1369
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,920
might consider a longer term might not.

1370
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,599
That's a council decision on this

1371
00:58:57,599 --> 00:59:01,440
in view of the fact that that this is an

1372
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,319
opinion now I'm opining the challenge

1373
00:59:04,319 --> 00:59:09,829
that

1374
00:59:09,839 --> 00:59:12,240
and what appears to be I won't say that

1375
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,280
this is a fact what appears to be a

1376
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,240
hangup with getting the county of Clark

1377
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,280
to get their comp plan updates put to

1378
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:26,079
bed and how it the trickle down effect

1379
00:59:26,079 --> 00:59:32,400
on everybody else. It it that's the only

1380
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,839
reason I would advocate perhaps even a

1381
00:59:35,839 --> 00:59:38,640
glancing at a longer term than a

1382
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,240
two-year term on this uh the extension

1383
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,960
of this development agreement. Thank you

1384
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,870
very much.

1385
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,520
» Thanks, Skip. Uh any other comments from

00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,950

01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,839
>> Hello, there we The planning commission

1391
01:00:05,839 --> 01:00:07,359
is in the process of reviewing the

1392
01:00:07,359 --> 01:00:08,960
junction code and replacing it with a

1393
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,680
new revised. Um I don't know if it will

1394
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,000
take two years or not, but the screen

1395
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,680
showed that upon execution of the new

1396
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,400
agreement that that that two-year will

1397
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,559
be eliminated and agreed by both

1398
01:00:22,559 --> 01:00:25,440
parties. So if it does take a little

1399
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,400
longer, will the two extension like for

1400
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,319
five years for him? Can it be might it be three years or three and a

1401
01:00:32,319 --> 01:00:34,720
half? Will it be looked at again once

1402
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,559
that expires?

1403
01:00:36,559 --> 01:00:43,520
>> Brian, you still with us?

1404
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,040
>> Yep. Sorry, it took me a second to get

1405
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,839
off my mute button there. Um, so this

1406
01:00:47,839 --> 01:00:52,319
term would extend um till August of

1407
01:00:52,319 --> 01:00:54,720
2028.

1408
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:58,079
So no, it would not uh be two years

1409
01:00:58,079 --> 01:01:00,079
after the junction code is the new code

1410
01:01:00,079 --> 01:01:03,440
is adopted. Uh there is a a clause in

1411
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,200
this agreement that upon mutual

1412
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,079
agreement of all of the parties that um

1413
01:01:08,079 --> 01:01:13,359
the development agreement extension can stop early um before that two years.

1414
01:01:13,359 --> 01:01:15,680
So you know we anticipate you know early

1415
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,559
next year having the new code in place.

1416
01:01:18,559 --> 01:01:20,000
Um, again, we're working with the

1417
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,760
Carlson's and other property owners in

1418
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,000
the area on that code and, uh, assuming

1419
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,599
that it's something that, uh, you know,

1420
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:27,599
works for them and that they want to

1421
01:01:27,599 --> 01:01:30,240
apply to their properties, um, then we

1422
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,440
can terminate this extension. Uh, but in

1423
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,799
no case would it run longer than uh,

1424
01:01:36,799 --> 01:01:39,520
August of 2028, unless um, there was

1425
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,280
some other further extension at that,

1426
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,200
you know, at that time.

1427
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:44,960
>> Okay. because I I couldn't see it

1428
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,200
extending further if we're working on it

1429
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,920
now to with a growth plan that would

1430
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,920
just kick it down the road. That's not

1431
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,880
going to be possible. So, um it appears

1432
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,599
that it'll probably will within the two

1433
01:01:57,599 --> 01:02:01,520
years um be agreed upon and the two-year

1434
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:02,960
agreement will go away.

1435
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:09,270
>> Okay. All right. Thanks.

1436
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:16,870

1443
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,280
soon, didn't it? So, I'm going to have

1444
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,920
to be okay with growth up there at I5.

1445
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,319
I've always said I'll trade uh the new

1446

downtown development and Timmans Landing

1447
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,079
development for building over there at

1448
01:02:42,079 --> 01:02:44,640
the I5 junction. So, I think that's

1449
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:48,000
wonderful. Um hope that you uh respect

I I am a concerned about the cars, the

1453
01:02:59,119 --> 01:03:03,119
pollution, the water, our ground. Uh, if

1454
01:03:03,119 --> 01:03:04,400
anybody would notice on their

1455
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:05,760
windshields, they don't have bug

1456
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,319
splatter anymore. It's because of the

1457
01:03:08,319 --> 01:03:10,000
chemtrails that are above us. They're

1458
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,160
spraying chemicals that hurt our lungs

1459
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:13,920
and hurt the insects and the birds and

1460
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,799
the bees. So, we're in big trouble. Like

1461
01:03:16,799 --> 01:03:18,880
I said, don't panic, but do something

1462
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,640
about it. Get active in your council

1463
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,200
meetings, especially in Clark County.

1464
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:28,549
Thank you, and God bless you all.

1465
01:03:28,559 --> 01:03:32,319
» All right. Uh, any otherbody

1466
01:03:32,319 --> 01:03:34,559
on the phone, please press star six to

1467
01:03:34,559 --> 01:03:39,589
unmute yourself.

1468
01:03:39,599 --> 01:03:41,039
» Clerk, are there any comments to be

1469
01:03:41,039 --> 01:03:41,760
read?

1470
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:46,000
>> No more public comments from the phone.

1471
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,520
>> You said no more public comment to be

1472
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:48,079
read.

1473
01:03:48,079 --> 01:03:50,400
>> From the phone? Yeah, looks like it. No

1474
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,910
more

1475
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,920
» there's no none to be read.

1476
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,400
>> Okay. Thank you. Um, I would like to now

1477
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,079
close the public hearing at 7:33 p.m.

1478
01:04:02,079 --> 01:04:04,240
Uh, council,

1479
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:08,069
do we have any comments?

1480
01:04:08,079 --> 01:04:11,440
Questions for Brian?

1481
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:12,640
>> No.

1482
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,559
>> All right.

1483
01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:19,039
So, with that, um, can we get the

1484
01:04:19,039 --> 01:04:21,200
ordinance pulled back up? I think we

1485
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,829
have a motion for this.

1486
01:04:25,839 --> 01:04:27,359
» Uh, Mr.

1487
01:04:27,359 --> 01:04:29,920
This this will return back um at the

1488
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:31,520
next meeting for consideration I think

1489
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:35,520
for council adoption is the plan.

1490
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,880
>> Okay. So no motion just recommendation

1491
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,319
that we hold a public hearing on the

1492
01:04:42,319 --> 01:04:45,039
ordinance.

1493
01:04:45,039 --> 01:04:47,280
Okay.

1494
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,839
Uh no items to be removed. No unfinished

1495
01:04:49,839 --> 01:04:52,079
business. Uh our guest council is there

1496
01:04:52,079 --> 01:04:56,150
any unfinished business?

1497
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:57,920
Since I've had something to say from

1498
01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,760
time to time tonight, I just wanted to

1499
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,880
say I'm going to miss you on this panel

1500
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:04,880
and I think you did a great job tonight.

1501
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:06,480
That should be indicative that there's a

1502
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,240
real reason you should stay on.

1503
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,079
>> Well, thank you. I I appreciate that

1504
01:05:12,079 --> 01:05:13,839
very much. And you know, like I said

1505
01:05:13,839 --> 01:05:15,520
before, it's been really a pleasure and

1506
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,880
an honor. And I uh not going too far.

1507
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,680
So, uh, you know, maybe one of these

1508

All right. Can I get a motion to close

1515
01:05:37,119 --> 01:05:38,079
