Item 28 set future public hearing dates. 247 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,200 Madam city clerk, I direct you to set hearing dates as necessary. 248 00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:50,240 Yes, mayor so noted. 249 00:19:51,140 --> 00:19:57,020 Item 29 discussion and our action regarding annual review of city attorney Andrew Andy Moore. 250 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,780 Please state your name and address for the record. 251 00:20:00,940 --> 00:20:01,260 I'm just kidding. 252 00:20:03,140 --> 00:20:07,920 Well, my name is Andy Moore, and I did prepare just some statements. 253 00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:12,100 I know I had provided all of you with a memo about the city's accomplishments over the 254 00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:18,560 past year and city attorneys, the attorneys' efforts in making those things happen. 255 00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:22,780 But I wanted to just kind of give a general speech about some of the highlights. 256 00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:27,400 I did want to say that when I got up this morning, I had two things on my mind. 257 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:33,020 I was at 59 days on my wordle streak, and I was only one day away from getting my 60-day 258 00:20:33,020 --> 00:20:37,360 badge, and then obviously this evaluation was hanging over my head, but I'm happy to report 259 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:41,340 that I got my 60-day badge and wordle, and I'm hoping I can ride that hot streak into 260 00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:42,800 a positive evaluation today. 261 00:20:45,180 --> 00:20:46,520 Admittedly, I'm a bit nervous. 262 00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:49,940 Like I've had awkward evaluations in the past where I've been evaluated by 263 00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:55,180 an attorney I never worked with at a law firm, but I've never had an evaluation actually 264 00:20:55,180 --> 00:20:59,860 at a public meeting, so I hope my comments make sense and go smoothly. 265 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,060 When you appointed me a city attorney in November of 2024, in the comments I made, I made reference 266 00:21:06,060 --> 00:21:10,120 to like a quote from Clark Griswold, and I made reference to the Milford Academy 267 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:14,620 and Arrested Development, and it was kind of in the context of whether or not I was 268 00:21:14,620 --> 00:21:20,360 actually going to be able to perform this job, because I had some worry about being 269 00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:26,280 able to perform this job. But I think, I mean, I still suffer from a bit of imposter syndrome, 270 00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:31,500 albeit a milder case than I had in November of 2024, but I feel like after serving as 271 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:35,400 acting city attorney for six months and city attorney for 13 months, I'm starting to 272 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,920 get the feeling that I can actually thrive in this position rather than just merely 273 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,320 surviving. In preparation for this evaluation, like I said, I reviewed the various projects 274 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:50,540 that the city attorney's office is handled in late 2024 and all of 2025 and after doing so I 275 00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:54,520 can definitively state that the civil and criminal divisions of the city attorney's office are getting 276 00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:00,780 things done for the city and its residents. Before highlighting the city attorney's office 277 00:22:00,780 --> 00:22:06,720 accomplishments, I do want to acknowledge that there have been some missteps like in my service 278 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,680 as city attorney. I really feel like when I served as a parade organizer at the Hispanic 279 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,100 Heritage Month kickoff event back in September. I really did the city of 280 00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:19,900 disservice. I was tasked with capping the number of entries in that parade at 50. 281 00:22:20,620 --> 00:22:24,240 And when I walked the parade route, I noticed there was about 12 to 15 other 282 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,960 cars that had entered the parade after I had like thought that I had stopped at 50. 283 00:22:29,260 --> 00:22:32,060 So I really don't think I should be any kind of a parade organizer in the 284 00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:36,460 future. And I did want to acknowledge a major solid that no lights more 285 00:22:36,460 --> 00:22:40,180 assistant city attorney did for me back in August of 2024. I learned a 286 00:22:40,180 --> 00:22:41,100 valuable lesson on that. 287 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,560 Chief Gravatt had called me in the middle of the night 288 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,040 related to an officer involved shooting 289 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,920 and I had unbeknownst to myself, 290 00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:48,100 turned my phone off that night, 291 00:22:48,620 --> 00:22:49,680 and Noel sprung into action 292 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,640 and took care of whatever needed to be done that night 293 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,180 and I've learned my lesson since then. 294 00:22:53,380 --> 00:22:54,620 I haven't had that happen, so. 295 00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:55,700 Anyway, 296 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,900 so here are some of the highlights 297 00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:03,940 that the city attorney's office has accomplished in 2025. 298 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,740 There's been a lot of effort and time spent 299 00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:09,500 in assisting with the city's 300 00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:10,780 downtown redevelopment efforts. 301 00:23:10,780 --> 00:23:15,760 After entering into an exclusive negotiation agreement with Agora in May of 2025, 302 00:23:16,540 --> 00:23:22,300 Rihanna Marisa put an incredible amount of time and effort to draft a disposition and development agreement with Agora 303 00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:26,460 for the former City Hall property that went before Council in October of 2025. 304 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,040 Rihanna continued working on this project over the next month or two 305 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,320 and drafted a lease related to the civic building Agora is developing as part of the project. 306 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,100 Madison, I saw them saying this, I should use the full names, obviously I'm talking about 307 00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:45,800 Chief Deputy City Attorney Rian Jarvis Denman and Chief Deputy City Attorney Marissa Rodriguez. 308 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,840 Senior Deputy City Attorney Madison Zornsvella worked closely with Economic Development throughout 309 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,220 2025 on various drafts of an agreement related to the proposed Nevada State University 310 00:23:57,220 --> 00:23:58,340 campus in downtown. 311 00:23:58,980 --> 00:24:04,140 Ultimately, the city entered into an interlocal agreement with NSU related to the city providing 312 00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:07,440 a rent subsidy paid by the RDA for the higher education campus. 313 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,080 A lot of time was spent in 2025, obviously dealing, there were two legislative sessions. 314 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,900 In 2025 we had the regular session and then a special session. 315 00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:22,460 All the attorneys in the civil division and the criminal division assisted government affairs by reviewing and analyzing bills. 316 00:24:23,660 --> 00:24:26,980 Rihon was responsible for a large portion of this work. 317 00:24:26,980 --> 00:24:31,600 and I also assigned a lot of bills to a senior deputy city attorney, Adrienne 318 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:37,140 Villesca and Daniel Holt, deputy city attorney to join this city in October of 319 00:24:37,140 --> 00:24:41,920 2024. And they did a great job. Everybody that worked did a great job and 320 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,560 provided the advice and guidance that government affairs needed for like a 321 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:51,320 smooth legislative session for the city. Throughout 2025 Marissa Rodriguez 322 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,180 has assisted planning, public works and communications with legal advice 323 00:24:55,180 --> 00:24:59,140 related to the new Windsor Park development. And she also assisted the planning division 324 00:24:59,140 --> 00:25:04,580 with zoning code amendments that went before council in December of 2025 and the Tully 325 00:25:04,580 --> 00:25:09,840 Springs East master plan that went before council in November of 2025. Marissa also 326 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,440 played an integral role in the negotiations of the services contract for the animal shelter 327 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:19,300 operator with Clark County, Las Vegas and the Animal Foundation. Senior Deputy City 328 00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:23,520 Attorney Chris Kraft first got involved in the Fire Station 53 litigation matter 329 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,480 in 2019, so that's dating back over six years, and has been assisting outside counsel on 330 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,460 that matter ever since. 331 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,520 That matter resolved in 2025 and the construction and design defendants involved in the matter 332 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,300 have agreed to pay the city $2.95 million in the settlement. 333 00:25:45,970 --> 00:25:49,670 Assistant City Attorney Noel Eidsmore continues to handle the bulk of the city's employment 334 00:25:49,670 --> 00:25:52,830 and labor matters and provides advice to the city's police department and handles 335 00:25:52,830 --> 00:25:55,430 various litigation matters involving the PD. 336 00:25:55,430 --> 00:26:03,670 In 2025, the Firefighters Union and the PSA CBAs were approved by Council in both NOAL 337 00:26:03,670 --> 00:26:05,650 and Madison assisted on those matters. 338 00:26:07,030 --> 00:26:11,990 Adrian has been integral in assisting Cass Palmer, Director of Strategic Initiatives 339 00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:14,790 in the formation of the city's nonprofit North Star. 340 00:26:16,370 --> 00:26:19,970 And he's been a – like we got approval for the nonprofit earlier in 2025. 341 00:26:19,970 --> 00:26:26,070 And he's also been integral with the transition to Microsoft and providing advice related to 342 00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:31,570 email retention issues, document retention issues, and also like providing advice related 343 00:26:31,570 --> 00:26:32,470 to litigation holds. 344 00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:37,870 I can highlight in litigation matters, both Madison and Danielle had summary judgment 345 00:26:37,870 --> 00:26:42,610 motions granted in matters they were handling in 2025, Madison in an employment litigation 346 00:26:42,610 --> 00:26:44,730 matter, and Danielle in a negligence matter. 347 00:26:46,170 --> 00:26:51,590 We had a number of ordinances that went before council in 2025 to amend portions of the city's 348 00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:57,090 municipal code. Chris, Adrian, and Danielle assisted on a number of those ordinances. 349 00:26:58,690 --> 00:27:02,470 And we also had a number of franchise agreements that went before council in 2025, 350 00:27:02,690 --> 00:27:05,470 and Marissa and Danielle assisted on those franchise agreements as well. 351 00:27:06,490 --> 00:27:10,630 Much to my relief, Madison took over as the primary person responsible for public 352 00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:15,170 records matters after I became city attorney. And she has done a tremendous job on this 353 00:27:15,170 --> 00:27:20,410 often overlooked and thankless responsibility. And I do want to highlight, I know Deep is 354 00:27:20,410 --> 00:27:25,170 here, I want to highlight all the efforts of our criminal team.

And along with Felicia Hernandez and Danny, they're serving 357 00:27:37,050 --> 00:27:41,990 as victim witness advocates, and Jessica Cappuccino, who's the office manager and oversees 358 00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:45,610 all the legal assistance over there. They continue to amaze and impress me with the 359 00:27:45,610 --> 00:27:50,330 way that they are able to get through their large case load. The prosecutors on the criminal 360 00:27:50,330 --> 00:27:55,370 team experienced a lot of turnover in 2024 and 2025, with four attorneys departing 361 00:27:55,370 --> 00:27:59,550 at various times. But this current group of five prosecutors do an amazing job of 362 00:27:59,550 --> 00:28:04,350 handling an incredibly high volume of cases that continues to grow. And to highlight 363 00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:09,570 that both George and Deep actually won bench trials this week and battery 364 00:28:09,570 --> 00:28:16,350 domestic violence trials. And then one other, there's also some turnover in the 365 00:28:16,350 --> 00:28:20,590 Civil Division as well. Tammy Bonner who served as legal office administrator for 366 00:28:20,590 --> 00:28:26,370 a number of years, retired in February 2025, and Liz Correa who had been 367 00:28:26,370 --> 00:28:31,770 previously promoted to senior legal assistant took on the job of legal 368 00:28:31,770 --> 00:28:37,290 Office Administrator in February of 2025, and she's done absolutely tremendous job acclimating 369 00:28:37,290 --> 00:28:42,370 to that new role and is providing the support I need in terms of budget issues and all those 370 00:28:42,370 --> 00:28:48,610 types of things. And then also to replace Liz as Office Secretary, we hired Anjali Sandoval 371 00:28:48,610 --> 00:29:01,030 in March of 2025, and she's been doing a fantastic job as well. And lastly, I'd be remiss if I 372 00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:05,150 stepped up when Chris Kraft was out of the office for a prolonged period of time in 2025. 373 00:29:06,190 --> 00:29:09,970 Everyone stepped up to assist and make sure nothing was missed on all the various litigation 374 00:29:09,970 --> 00:29:11,250 matters that Chris was handling. 375 00:29:11,890 --> 00:29:16,010 This includes the attorneys whose accomplishments I've highlighted, the paralegals Monica 376 00:29:16,010 --> 00:29:20,190 and Matoya and Crystal Williams and also Liz and Anjali and I appreciate all of their 377 00:29:20,190 --> 00:29:20,610 hard work. 378 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:28,250 I provide that overview to highlight the various achievements and efforts of the 379 00:29:28,250 --> 00:29:32,670 people I get to work with in the city attorney's office. After having served in 380 00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:36,010 this role now for, like I said, acting city attorney for about six months and 381 00:29:36,010 --> 00:29:39,870 city attorney for 13 months, I feel very fortunate to have this job and to work 382 00:29:39,870 --> 00:29:43,650 closely with all of you on council and all of the dedicated and fantastic team 383 00:29:43,650 --> 00:29:48,750 members at the city. So that was the extent of my prepared remarks. Are you 384 00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:53,130 still nervous? I am nervous. If there's one thing, I get nervous public 385 00:29:53,130 --> 00:29:55,910 speaking, but when I have to talk about myself, that nerve kind of 386 00:29:55,910 --> 00:29:59,970 I understand, but thank you for that, and thank you for prob- 387 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,120 Providing some backup documents as well. 388 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,940 I appreciate what you said today and what I have read because 389 00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:15,640 your department is only as good as its leader and their top person. And I love the way that 390 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:22,480 you highlighted the great work of the people that work under you. What you and your team 391 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,320 has to do in and out every single day in the city attorney's office is just only thing 392 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:34,120 I can think of as massive, from the criminal side, everything that you do to protect the 393 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:40,340 city, the litigation, the public records request, that could be a job within itself. 394 00:30:41,020 --> 00:30:45,600 And then all of the franchise agreements, all the projects, the things that you get 395 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,700 to read and sign off on, it could be daunting. 396 00:30:49,340 --> 00:30:55,200 You handle it with such stride, first of all, with passion, with confidence. 397 00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:01,020 And I've noticed I've just watched that grow over the time you're extremely confident in this role 398 00:31:01,020 --> 00:31:04,800 I remember when you first were you know, I kept saying what are you going to do? 399 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,640 And you're just like I just I don't know because you so I can and I think we all ask that question 400 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,040 Are we up for this task? 401 00:31:11,220 --> 00:31:15,660 Can we handle these roles because they are very important and very vital for the success of the city? 402 00:31:15,780 --> 00:31:17,860 And I think you've done that quite well 403 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,760 We don't see that stress side of you when you come into my office 404 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,140 is there's always a smile on your face 405 00:31:23,140 --> 00:31:24,720 and you're always very cordial and very pleasant. 406 00:31:25,340 --> 00:31:26,720 So I totally appreciate that. 407 00:31:27,900 --> 00:31:30,940 So I wanna just say thank you for the work that you've done 408 00:31:30,940 --> 00:31:34,320 and that you will continue to do for a long time. 409 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,620 We're excited to have you as our city attorney 410 00:31:38,620 --> 00:31:39,660 and I couldn't be more proud. 411 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:40,600 Okay. 412 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,540 Comments or question council? 413 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,120 Andy, you have been a great chief legal advisor 414 00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:03,980 And I want you to know that you are thriving because we all are in this, we're a team and 415 00:32:03,980 --> 00:32:11,160 I can see it in our community, we're all doing great things and I'm the news member of our 416 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:19,740 city council and I know that feeling, not feeling like we're doing the best that 417 00:32:19,740 --> 00:32:21,860 We should, the imposter syndrome, 418 00:32:23,180 --> 00:32:26,340 but I think with the right support, we can thrive. 419 00:32:26,860 --> 00:32:29,180 And I've seen that in you as well. 420 00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:33,420 I want to, I named a few, 421 00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:37,240 I listed a few qualities that I've been thinking about 422 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,860 while I was preparing or thinking about what I would say. 423 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,100 And one of the greatest quality that I appreciate 424 00:32:45,620 --> 00:32:47,440 from you as our city attorney 425 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,560 is that you're a great listener. 426 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:58,380 and I appreciate that. I'm really grateful for your legal guidance. You're very, very 427 00:32:58,380 --> 00:33:05,280 knowledgeable and I can see that during our meetings or in our briefings and when you don't 428 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:11,520 know something you take the time to go out and search for the right answers and I think 429 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:17,500 that's the sign of great leadership because there's not one person who knows all the 430 00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:23,120 answers, right? And I also appreciate the fact that you recognize your team members. 431 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:28,680 I think that's a testament that you're a great leader and I know that they 432 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,880 respect you and they see your potential. And so I'm really grateful to have 433 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:38,700 the opportunity to work with you and learn from you. Like I said, we're all 434 00:33:38,700 --> 00:33:44,080 a team and it's just a privilege being a part of the Northwest Vegas family. 435 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:50,320 So thank you again for everything. And like the mayor, I hope, you know, you can stay with us for a long, long time. 436 00:33:53,580 --> 00:33:57,020 Councilman Churchill, I wanted to go to you next. If you have any comments. 437 00:34:01,460 --> 00:34:04,540 Yes, yes, yes, I do mayor. You can hear me. Okay. 438 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:14,680 And just for a second, it keeps saying Churchill. Maybe I'm not saying Churchill good enough because of your Councilman Churchill onwardly. So it is Churchill. Go ahead, Councilman. 439 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:24,140 I'm going to keep it fairly simple because my reception where I am is kind of going in 440 00:34:24,140 --> 00:34:33,620 and out, but I could say without a doubt, since I got on council in 2009 to 2011 as an appointment 441 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:44,660 and then continuing on after I became an actual elected candidate, councilperson, I felt that 442 00:34:44,660 --> 00:34:52,420 that we as a city have been blessed with the quality of city attorneys that we've 443 00:34:52,420 --> 00:35:00,080 had all along. I think in these last few years though, particularly what we're 444 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:05,100 going through right now, the growth pattern that we're going through, it's been 445 00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:12,940 an extra burden on our city attorneys to keep us updated. And I really had no 446 00:35:12,940 --> 00:35:22,220 doubt that Andy was capable of doing the job when he got on board. But after the fact right 447 00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:30,920 now, I could say that I'm extremely happy with his way of working with me. He's extremely detailed. 448 00:35:31,580 --> 00:35:36,200 He keeps me informed. When I say he keeps me informed, I know he keeps all of us informed. 449 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,780 And then that's something that the average resident probably 450 00:35:40,780 --> 00:35:43,120 doesn't fully understand the importance 451 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,140 of having solid briefings from our city attorney 452 00:35:48,140 --> 00:35:50,820 when we come out to council meeting as we are right now, 453 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,480 even though I'm not there and I miss being there. 454 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,780 We know exactly what we're doing 455 00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:00,000 based on the team that is behind us. 456 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,440 And in this particular case, 457 00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:10,740 Andy has been second to none with letting me know, letting us know exactly what is going 458 00:36:10,740 --> 00:36:15,920 on and when he needs to call me back and when I have a question or sometimes when I don't 459 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,700 even have a question, he'll call me back and make sure that I don't have a question. 460 00:36:21,460 --> 00:36:25,660 So that gives me a lot of confidence in doing what I'm doing. 461 00:36:25,660 --> 00:36:30,760 And lastly, he's really a pleasure to work with. 462 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,500 He's got a good sense of humor, and he's very professional, 463 00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:40,080 and he's a good person, and I just enjoy working alongside him. 464 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:40,900 Thank you, Mayor. 465 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,100 Thank you. 466 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,440 Thank you, Mayor. 467 00:36:45,380 --> 00:36:49,640 So the word unflappable means not easily upset or confused, 468 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,140 especially in a crisis, imperturbable, 469 00:36:52,140 --> 00:36:55,340 which means incapable of being upset or agitated, 470 00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:57,520 not easily excited or calm. 471 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,680 And I think that really captures you as a colleague 472 00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:05,960 and as a person, you're very calm, you're very humble 473 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:07,740 and I respect your humility 474 00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:09,680 and I think you lead with humility 475 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,260 and that's a trait that's very, very valuable 476 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,060 and very important and you're funny. 477 00:37:16,660 --> 00:37:18,280 We've had some laughs together 478 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,100 and laughter and a little bit of levity, 479 00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:24,660 especially in difficult situations goes a long way and I think there's great 480 00:37:24,660 --> 00:37:31,500 value in that. So Andy has been someone that I've relied upon well before 481 00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:35,620 became the city attorney when I was on the housing authority board as the chair. 482 00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:39,660 There were some challenges that I was trying to navigate through with that 483 00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:43,920 organization and you were a tremendous guide there and then also at the 484 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,680 workforce development board when I was the chair navigating that and so I just 485 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,920 think about the the job that we have as as council members and how important it 486 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,960 is and how we take it seriously and to be able to make decisions with 487 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:03,440 confidence comes from great legal guidance and support and advice and I 488 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,120 would not personally be able to make the decisions that I make or do the job 489 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,680 that I try to do with the level of confidence that I do without your 490 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,420 support and that of your team you have a professional team they're very 491 00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:21,940 capable. They're super committed to North Las Vegas and it shows if if I show up to a briefing 492 00:38:21,940 --> 00:38:26,560 or a meeting and any one of the folks that are on your team are in that room I have that same 493 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,520 level of confidence that I'll be able to do my job to the best of my ability because of 494 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:37,640 their skill set and their commitment. The last thing I would say is that you know being 495 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:42,900 being a humble leader and someone who I think truly cares about the city that you work for 496 00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:47,380 It shows by the fact that you're at many city events. You're at the fun runs 497 00:38:47,380 --> 00:38:50,680 You're with your your wife planting trees in the park on a Saturday 498 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:55,760 You know, you're not a clock in clock out kind of person and I have tremendous respect for that as well 499 00:38:56,580 --> 00:38:57,520 Thank you, ma'am 500 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,900 Thank you.

The tree has been measured and 603 00:47:18,970 --> 00:47:22,690 evaluated by the Nevada Department of Forestry due to its exceptional size 604 00:47:22,690 --> 00:47:27,210 and stature and is considered a monumental tree. Currently it's under 605 00:47:27,210 --> 00:47:28,350 professional review. 606 00:47:33,460 --> 00:47:36,720 These trees take decades to grow and cannot quickly be 607 00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:37,440 replaced. 608 00:47:40,460 --> 00:47:47,740 They providing substantial canopy and cooling effects and beauty. 609 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:53,040 Concern has been raised about regarding a short section of sidewalk near the angel 610 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,000 tree that's uneven about an inch. 611 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,600 We're not opposed to repairing the sidewalk. 612 00:48:00,940 --> 00:48:06,800 We're asking that the solution be made for the the solution not be to remove 613 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:12,940 a healthy monumental tree. We respectfully request the opportunity to work collaboratively 614 00:48:12,940 --> 00:48:18,580 with the city to explore reasonable alternatives to protect the safety while preserving the 615 00:48:18,580 --> 00:48:29,700 angel tree. Any action affecting it be paused at this time and allowed for rational, elaborative 616 00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:35,840 decision-making appropriate for our community. Before I close, I'd like to gift this poster 617 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:42,780 I created in hopes to North Las Vegas in hopes that it may inform future tree 618 00:48:42,780 --> 00:48:47,880 preservation practices.

I'm Kent Anderson. My address is 633 00:49:53,420 --> 00:49:56,660 3434 Edge Hill Way, North Las Vegas, Ward 2. 634 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,200 I'm a 50-year resident in North Las Vegas. 635 00:50:01,780 --> 00:50:06,140 I'm a disabled United States Air Force veteran and I'm on a fixed income. I went to high 636 00:50:06,140 --> 00:50:13,580 school here. And I raised my family here. North Las Vegas is my home. When my wife 637 00:50:13,580 --> 00:50:18,840 When I purchased our home 30 years ago, I hand planted trees in our front yard, including 638 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,340 the Memorial Angel Tree, which 639 00:50:24,540 --> 00:50:28,080 was purchased from the Nevada Division of Forestry Tree 640 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:29,300 Nursery at Tule Springs. 641 00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:35,580 At that time, the yard was bare and in the afternoon sun made it almost impossible to 642 00:50:35,580 --> 00:50:36,540 sit in our living room. 643 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,800 It was recently brought to our attention that one branch of the tree did not make 644 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,160 the 10-foot clearance requirement above the sidewalk. 645 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:44,340 Sidewalk. 646 00:50:44,780 --> 00:50:47,360 The sidewalk enforcement told us that and we were working with them. 647 00:50:48,300 --> 00:50:49,740 And then I contacted the 648 00:50:53,930 --> 00:50:59,130 Nevada Division of Forestry regarding that branch and the tree 649 00:50:59,130 --> 00:51:02,090 status as one of the significant trees of its kind in Nevada. 650 00:51:02,670 --> 00:51:07,070 While I awaited this information, code enforcement came by several times and then they observed 651 00:51:07,070 --> 00:51:09,890 that the sidewalk was slightly uplifted, which my wife discussed. 652 00:51:10,670 --> 00:51:15,670 And said about six of the five by five squares of sidewalk would need to be replaced. 653 00:51:16,530 --> 00:51:22,610 The gentleman then told me it would be $50,000, but I've done searches on that and it's quite different, quite lower than that. 654 00:51:22,750 --> 00:51:30,230 But anyway, when I called to confirm the branch to be cut off, I was told by the gentleman, I don't care about the branch anymore. 655 00:51:30,490 --> 00:51:31,790 I'm coming after the whole tree. 656 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:37,140 I want it gone. 657 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:44,220 Because of these trees, our energy costs are lower. Our home is up to 30 degrees cooler in the summer. 658 00:51:44,220 --> 00:51:47,880 The angel tree is an asset to the community. It's loved by many 659 00:51:49,820 --> 00:51:53,240 How much more do you have about 20 seconds? 660 00:51:53,740 --> 00:52:00,840 Thank you. The choice in front of us is simple replace concrete versus an irreplaceable living tree 661 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:06,660 Six squares of sidewalk can be replaced a healthy tree with 30 years of growth cannot I 662 00:52:06,660 --> 00:52:12,400 Respect the city's duty to protect public safety. I'm asking that the solution not be to remove a healthy historic 663 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:18,080 irreplaceable tree over a concrete sidewalk issue. I respectfully request 664 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,380 the city to grant a stay on this issue and stand back while we gather more 665 00:52:22,380 --> 00:52:26,080 information before any final decision is made.

Two 692 00:54:43,860 --> 00:54:49,420 days after that we had the rice rockets excuse me the motorcycles excuse for a 693 00:54:49,420 --> 00:54:53,400 couple more seconds please same scenario they were racing up and down 694 00:54:54,860 --> 00:55:04,280 The last thing is the buses, they're not going the speed limit, school buses, with kids or 695 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:14,420 without kids, and in fact we had one today, and the last thing is post office, they had 696 00:55:14,420 --> 00:55:19,880 a truck that just literally blew right through our whole street with, I mean, no content 697 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:27,580 sent to stop at all, not even breaks at all. So, but again, I wanted to say there was some 698 00:55:27,580 --> 00:55:29,840 good that came. I had some person come. 699 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,300 Thank you very much. Appreciate your comments. 700 00:55:32,860 --> 00:55:33,280 Thank you again. 701 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:34,540 Thank you so much. 702 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,560 Is there an Anthony North in the room? 703 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:43,120 Anthony North? 704 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:45,820 Anthony North. 705 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:47,100 Welcome to North. 706 00:55:47,720 --> 00:55:52,540 sent in an email to us stating that he might be here in person, but I brought 707 00:55:52,540 --> 00:55:57,460 his email just in case he didn't show. Did you want to speak to Councilor 708 00:55:57,460 --> 00:56:04,700 yourself? Yes ma'am. Go right ahead. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening Council 709 00:56:04,700 --> 00:56:08,500 members and the audience here. First of all, thank you for allowing me the 710 00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:14,180 right to use my free speech. I do very much appreciate that. I stand before 711 00:56:14,180 --> 00:56:17,340 you as a Marine that has held the line. Can you state your name and address 712 00:56:17,340 --> 00:56:22,100 for the record, please. Yes, ma'am. Anthony Joe North, I live at 401 East 713 00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:29,660 Charleston Boulevard. This is on the corner of 4th and Charleston. I am a marine who's 714 00:56:29,660 --> 00:56:36,280 held the line. In the old sagas, the shield wall only holds if every person values the 715 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:44,000 life of their brother or sister as their own. Today, this wall is crumbling, not because 716 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:49,620 of the people, but because the leaders in the chairs held high have forgotten what it means 717 00:56:49,620 --> 00:56:57,760 to keep an oath. My flesh bears the truth you may find uncomfortable. There will be no peaceful 718 00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:07,680 revolution. This is not a threat of violence. This is a promise of resistance. There is no 719 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:16,480 peace when over 900 of my brothers and sisters in arms are left to rot on the 720 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:23,880 concrete of this valley. While you scrambled to attract tourists to a city 721 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:31,680 that is bleeding out there's an old song about a soldier named Johnny. He went 722 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,560 to war with drums and guns but when he came home those who loved him 723 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:44,220 hardly knew it. He was low in flesh and high in bone, left with nothing but a 724 00:57:44,220 --> 00:57:51,480 bolt of back. That is the story of the North Las Vegas veteran today. You 725 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:56,880 cheered for us when we left, but now that we're back, broken by your housing 726 00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:03,280 cost, and forgotten by your clinics, you hardly know us. And yet you're 727 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:08,720 rolling out. I'll give you by 10 more seconds and then you're going to wrap it up. No worries man. 728 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:18,560 I'm reminded of a woman from the Ukraine who said to a Russian invader, 729 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:25,460 take these seeds and put them in your pockets so that when you lay in our soul, 730 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:33,220 sunflowers may grow. However, the drought leaves nothing to grow here. Thank you for your time. 731 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:34,620 Thank you very much for your comments. 732 00:58:41,210 --> 00:58:44,570 And Mayor, that was the end of my list of speakers. 733 00:58:45,010 --> 00:58:49,930 Thank you. So I will go ahead and close the second public forum. And again, I want to wish 734 00:58:49,930 --> 00:58:54,970 everyone a happy new year. It's day seven of January. So if you made a new year's resolution, 735 00:58:54,970 --> 00:58:59,870 I hope you're keeping to that and then you're going to go way past the first week. 736 00:59:00,810 --> 00:59:05,730 Too late. Uh-oh. With that being said, this meeting is adjourned. 737 00:59:08,060 --> 00:59:09,380 Thank you, Councilman Church.
