Clark County Board of Commissioners - Regular Meeting

Good morning. I'm gonna ask everybody who can to get settled in. Is this on? Good morning. I'd like to welcome everybody to the May 19 meeting of

the Clark County Commission. We will begin today's meeting with the invocation. If you'd like, please rise and we'll welcome Aaron Ra to the podium. Good morning.

Hello. Can you hear? Okay. My name is Aaron Ra. I'm with the Satanic Temple. This invocation today was inspired by the seven tenets or ethical principles of the Satanic Temple. An atheistic organization that believes in compassion, empathy, justice, autonomy, freedom of speech, scientifically based beliefs, accountability, and wisdom. Let us begin. Let us never bow our heads or bend the knee in obeisance to any faith from the past that is based on ignorant, bigoted savagery. Let us not look back reverence to dark times of fearful minds, unenlightened by modern scientific knowledge, but move forward with critical thinking, the only way to determine actual factual truth.

Let us not fear the tree of knowledge would extend our grasp and devour its its fruit. Let us make rational decisions rather than imposing outdated authoritarian religious doctrine with varied interpretations, some more vile than others. Let us cast out harmful ideas that threaten individual individual autonomy and our collective rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which must necessarily include free thought and freedom of expression, especially of our very identity. Let us bravely face the truth rather than hide behind comforting delusion, because regardless whether a supreme being really exists, history will be our judge. So let us embrace those among us who understand that morality, compassion, and service to others do not require devotion to any faith of ancient doctrine.

Let us recognize that humans are fully capable of choosing kindness, empathy, and helping those in need regardless of any religious faith. And finally, let us trust in ourselves and others working with us to know what is best for us and our families, and not force conformity to mistaken beliefs of the past. Hail Satan, the archetype or symbol of the the bringer of of knowledge and hail thyself.

Join us in the pledge of allegiance. Thank you. Good morning, manager Schiller.

Good morning. Good morning, commissioners. Your first item is to recognize and present proclamations to honor Nevada's mother of the year recipients, American Mothers Incorporated based in Washington DC, which is a nonprofit organization committed to honoring mothers for their leadership and service at home, at work, and in the world.

Thank you. Thank you.

Victor, is the handheld on?

Thank you very much. Each year in partnership with American Mothers Inc, we're pleased to honor outstanding women who contribute to our community, nurture their families, and who view motherhood not as a role, but as a journey of mutual growth. Please join me in recognizing these outstanding women today. We want to thank those who are responsible for helping us know and understand who the selections are. These are remarkable people who have accomplished a great deal in their families and in their lives, and we appreciate their example.

We thank you very much for the remarkable achievement that you have accomplished over the years, and we know that you earned it day after day after day, sometimes brutal day after brutal day after brutal day.

We appreciate very much your willingness to be here with us today. And this is an interesting world today. So being proudly here to receive an award for being a mother is something that is of real note to us. So thank you very much, and congratulations to all of you.

This is a vital time for reflection and celebration as we honor the rich history, diverse cultures, and profound contributions that APIME residents bring to Southern Nevada. Today, I'm privileged to recognize four exceptional individuals whose dedication and leadership continue to strengthen the soul of our community and inspire us all. First, we recognize Coach Cap.

Coach Cap founded the Sasa Squad Foundation in 2020 to provide local youth with a physical and mental outlet during the pandemic. What began as a volunteer effort has grown into a citywide movement offering free high level football training to over 100 participants. Coach Cap used the field to teach leadership, self discipline, and resilience, empowering our kids to flourish both in athletics and in life. Coach, thank you for your visionary leadership. Our next honoree is Jenna Strasser, human trafficking task force manager at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Jenna has dedicated her career to victim advocacy, spending years with Metro and the Family Justice Center supporting survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

Jenna, thank you for your relentless pursuit of justice and for being a voice for the vulnerable. We also honor Raja Murry, a dedicated educator, life coach, and president of the Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce. As a Lebanese American leader, Raja has spent his life working to help others realize their full potential through his agency and on purpose coaching.

While Raja could not be here today, we are honored to have his wife, Rhonda, accept this award on his behalf. Raja's commitment commitment to self growth and community mentorship has left a lasting mark on our local business landscape. We are proud to recognize his impact. Our final honoree is Genevieve Galman, a prominent first generation Filipino American attorney and community advocate. As president of the Asian Bar Association and the Filipino American Lawyers Association of Nevada, Genevieve has been a trailblazer in expanding legal access for our most vulnerable residents.

Genevieve, thank you for your tireless advocacy and for leading the way for future generations.

Hi. I'm commissioner Tick Sagerbloom, proudly representing District E. Together, we recognize Asian Pacific, Pacific Islander, and Middle Eastern Heritage Month, an important time to celebrate the cultures, histories, and contributions of AP Miami communities here in Clark County and around our nation. Our community is stronger, more vibrant, and more resilient because of the diversity and leadership within these communities. This month is not only about honoring heritage, but also about recognizing the lasting impact AP ME leaders have made and continue to make in shaping our region.

Today, I'm thrilled to recognize three incredible leaders in our community. My first distinguished honoree is Dean Leah Chan Grindvald. Dean Grindvald serves as the Dean and Richard J. Morgan Professor of Law at the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV.

She's the first permanent female Dean and the first Asian American to hold this role.

My second distinguished honoree is Paulina Duwong Ponya, a proud two time graduate of UNLV.

Paulina has dedicated her career to public service. She began as a district representative for Congresswoman Susie Lee, working closely with constituents to address local needs and connect them to vital resources.

My third and final distinguished honoree is Angelica Viarta. Angelica is a community leader, creative strategist, and ecosystem builder whose work brings together culture, business and public engagement. She was perfect for when we created Filipino Town. She helped organize it, made sure everything got off on time, coordinated the whole thing, it was fantastic what she did. Through her leadership and platform, HAAPI Roots, she creates meaningful spaces that celebrate culture, uplift diasporic voices and foster connection across our diverse communities.

Dean Grinval, Paulina and Angelica, thank you for your leadership, your service, and your commitment to uplifting District E. You have helped me so much in my work and, all my constituents, so I can't thank you enough. I'm grateful for you have the impact you have helped me make in our community.

This month is not only about reflection, but about uplifting leaders among us who are building a more inclusive and equitable future for all. Today, I'm proud to recognize three outstanding individuals whose work embodies service, leadership, and community impact.

Farah Atchison is a resilient and passionate community advocate whose journey as an immigrant, small business owner, and public servant has shaped her commitment to uplifting others. She served as vice president of Majid Tahid and chair of the Democratic Muslim Caucus, where she continues to elevate community voices and advocate for inclusion. A strong voice for families navigating uncertainty and a champion for women and also future leaders. Faire is creating space for others to be seen, heard, and empowered.

His work reflects a powerful commitment to lifting others and strengthening the fabric of our community. Sam Shaw brings more than twenty five years of experience in grassroots organizing and advocacy for working families. His leadership with NCIU Local eleven o seven has helped bridge the gap between worker justice and community empowerment, advancing efforts that expand health care access, protect essential services, and ensure that more voices are heard. Guided by his personal story and deep sense of responsibility, Sam continues to champion dignity, equity, and opportunity for all.

Together, these honorees remind us that true leadership is grounded in service and our community is strongest when we lift up one another. Congratulations and thank you for your continued dedication to Clark County.

Thank you commissioner Jones for once again leading today's Asian American Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern heritage month. I am proud to introduce district a's honoree, Catherine Francisco, founder and president of the AAPI Chamber of Commerce of Southern Nevada.

Hi, I'm Marilyn Kirkpatrick, Clark County Commissioner for District B. May is Asian Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern Heritage Month. It's a time to celebrate diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of these vibrant communities. As you know, each one of the commissioners honor someone for this important month. I am proud to honor Ken Diaz for his commitment and service to our community.

He is our, treasurer here at Clark County. He has a plethora of jobs to do. For instance, he oversees a $10,000,000,000 portfolio to make sure that the taxpayer money is being well spent and cared for. He oversees $11,000,000,000 budget. He processed hundreds of thousands of checks every single year on behalf of Clark County. Ken has been in our community for a very long time. He went to Cashman Element, Middle School. He went to Clark High School. He graduated from UNLV. He then went on to work for the big four, which is also known as the large CPA companies, around the country.

And so Ken is a licensed CPA, but he's so much more than that to the community. He's always given back. He goes out. He speaks with people. He has two children. He's a retired US vet, with the air force. So that's just a beginner of what Ken does. Ken, thank you so much for your service to our community. Thank you for the twenty two years that you've given at here at Clark County. Ten of those years were in budget and internal audit. Thank you for being our treasurer, and we look forward to celebrating you all year long. Congratulations to all of the recipients today, and thank you for making Clark County that extra special place.

And one more round of applause.

Commissioners, your next item is to recognize and present a proclamation designating May 2026 as National Mental Health Awareness Month in Clark County and honor Cook Center for Human Connection for their efforts to expand mental health access and unveil a new mental health awareness campaign. Commissioner Jones.

Thank you, mister County Manager. As we we all know, May is mental health awareness month. We were out there changing the welcome Las Vegas sign green in recognition of this important month. And we're today, we're proud to unveil a powerful mental health awareness video created by Clark County in partnership with the Cook Center for Human Connection and so many incredible voices from across Las Vegas community. This project is about reminding people that they are not alone and that help, hope, and support are available right here in Clark County.

Mental health impacts individuals and families from background, every age, and every community. This video brought together incredible group of voices including Penn and Teller, Carrot Top, Oscar De La Hoya, Connor Fields, community leaders, athletes, entertainers, first responders, educators, and local organizations all united behind one message. Mental health matters and no one should struggle alone. This video has continued commitment to supporting our community year round. We encourage everyone to share the video and check-in one another. Let's go ahead and roll the video.

Las Vegas, like communities everywhere, has seen the impact mental health struggles can have on individuals and families.

Life will knock you down. Even creative minds get in a bind.

It's okay to shift gears when you need to.

Even the loudest voices need quiet moments.

Find your space and give yourself a moment.

We know the power of showing up for one another.

Your mental health matters.

Courage is speaking up, reaching out, and asking for help when you need it.

Every reset is a new round.

Even the best drivers know when to slow down.

Check on your people like you check your prep.

Even headliners need support. And laugh

at your heels, but so does asking for help.

Because strength isn't staying silent.

It's okay to reach out.

The real magic is asking for help.

It takes courage to ask for help, and no one should have to carry what they're going through alone. You are not alone.

You're not alone.

You are not alone. You are never alone.

There are people who care, resources that can help, and a community ready to stand with you.

Our community needs you. Our

community needs you.

Taking care of your mental health is not a weakness. It's one of the strongest things you can do.

Success means nothing if we're not taking care of ourselves and the people around us.

Your mental health is everything, so fight for it.

And in Las Vegas, showing up for one another is what makes us strong.

Together, Vegas strong.

Together. Together. Together. Together.

Together. We are Vegas strong.

Vegas strong.

Together, we are Vegas strong.

Together. We are Vegas strong.

Visit parentguidance.org today. Explore the resources. Start the conversations. Get the help you deserve.

With that, I'm gonna invite down Mark Welling and Mary Cass from the Cook Center for Human Connection. They've been working on providing resources, particularly to parents. We know that through COVID, lots of kids, including my own, struggled with mental health challenges and they've provided some fantastic resources that complement all of the work that Clark County is doing to bring resources to our community on mental health. I'm gonna pass the microphone to my friend Mark.

Thank you. Thank you commissioner. We're proud of this partnership and especially for this critical message that's coming out to our communities. Partnering with Clark County, the commissioner's office, commissioner Jones, the work that Christina did with many voices in this community that shared the message that there's a power in connection. And that that will uplift everyone in our community that have access to these important resources. So thank you for this partnership, and we hope that you share this message and check out on your neighbors, your communities, your loved ones, not only during this month, but always to make sure that we have a strong thriving community because there's always power and connection. So thank you.

Thank you.

Commissioners, your next item is to present a proclamation to Steve Gerson, court executive officer in recognition of his retirement and many years of public service within the Clark County justice system.

So what was talking to Steve about making sure saw everyone came out. I said, you're here to make sure he's leaving. Right? Anyway, Steve has been is is really the definition of herding cats, Trying to run district court judges who think they're all superior is almost impossible, but you've done a fantastic job. More importantly, he's reached out to different courts.

So we we have courts that deal with different kinds of people that that we all need to respect and honor. And so I can't think of be proud enough about what you've done, Steve. And, again, thank you so much for for, making Clark County better. I don't remember, Jim, how many judges there were when we started, but it's probably, like, ten eleven. I think there were 10. 10. And now how many are there? 58.

58. 58.

So you can see what he's had to manage. So good luck. Anyways, Steve, you wanna say a few words?

Thank you, commissioner Segerbloom, commissioners, Kevin, Jessica for giving, me this opportunity to, be recognized in in front of your body. I've had a wonderful opportunity to, and humbled to serve the eighth judicial district court here in Clark County for, it'll be twenty nine years when I retire. You know, you don't, you're not able to be successful as a CEO without great chief judges. I served with Art Ritchie, Jennifer Tagliotti, Dave Barker, Elizabeth Gonzales, Linda Bell, and our current chief, Jerry Weiss. These are wonderful, incredible leaders and people.

So I have a great deal of respect and appreciation and sincere thank you for their leadership while I've

been the

CEO. Our staff is incredible. The people that work for us are incredible. And I I really appreciate all the people that have served district court for all these years. Obviously, my wife has conjured up all of our favors for all of our family members to show up today and all of our friends just to make sure the crowd has some people that, you know, support me, which is very nice. I couldn't do it without my family, my son Andrew, my beautiful wife Gretchen. And I just I'm very honored to have served District Court and Clark County for all these years. So thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Steve, again. And in reference to the fact that Steve has reached out to all these specialty courts, we now have an honor for the Lima project, which is one of those that coordinates with, the police department. It's fantastic. So everybody's virtual? Oh, sorry.

I'll now read it. Your next item is to present a proclamation to the Lima program and staff in recognition of their service to the community. Commissioner Segerbloom.

Alright. Again, just thank you Lima for what you've done, reaching out to the community. We all know that if we can divert people out of the criminal justice system, that's by far the best way to go. And and they're a great fantastic program working hand in hand with Metro. So thank you all for coming down and ask you to say a few words.

I think this is the true definition of a rose among thorns.

Wow. This is such an honor. I'm gonna keep it short and just say what an honor it is to be up here with these amazing leaders in our community. Thank you, commissioners, for what you do and your compassion and passion to serve. Thank you to for the partnership between eighth judicial district court and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Our partnership is crucial to the work we get to do to serve our community, with the Lima Diversion Program, which stands for Law Enforcement Intervention for Mental Health and Addiction. As we partner together, we're partnering with the vulnerable individuals that we get to serve in this community, which we are so grateful to do. Without our partnership, we wouldn't be able to help with those public safety needs, help our people find a pathway to recovery. And each and every day, I am honored to be beside these amazing men, getting a chance to do that. And obviously helping them not cycle through the judicial system.

Though we get to represent that, our goal is to connect them to the amazing services in our community, to make sure we stay alongside them while they find their pathway, and then hopefully be able to give back to the community that has given so much to them by restoring their families, restoring their faith, restoring their dignity, their pride. And so we are so honored that we get a chance to do that each and every day. So thank you.

Thank you guys.

Commissioners, your next item is to recognize the Clark County Social Services Department and their nonprofit partner, Nevada Senior Services, for receiving the twenty eighth annual Cashman Good Government Award for their Hospital to Home program. I'll do the presentation on this briefly. The Cashman Good Government Award honors government entities and individuals who put work for place experience together to make citizens services work better, faster, and cheaper. It's innovative refinements of government operations and changes to processes and procedures that save staff and process timing. More specific to social service and Nevada senior service, the Hospital to Home program, I actually began work on this almost eight years ago.

This supports individuals with complex discharge needs, their transition from hospital to home, reduces long term hospital stays, frees critical community services and increases access to hospital beds. I'm gonna wait a sec. Yeah. The other piece that I want to add to this this is just another highlight of Clark County's amazing work this has annually serves over 740 individuals and it's estimated that it's saving over 11,900,000 in return on investment by preventing costly readmissions and also improving the health and wellness of our constituents and our clients. So I really want to congratulate Social Services, Nevada Senior Service on this.

They know I'm selfish to them and very proud of this. Commissioners, your last recognition item is to recognize Clark County employees who have been selected as our Clark County Value Champions.

Hi. I'm Marilyn Kirk Patrick, and I'm here on behalf of my entire office in District B. And we really wanna give a big shout out to Josh Erickson. While there's so many great employees here at Clark County, and we recognize each and everything they do and make a difference, Josh has gone above and beyond on so many different instances. We wanted to make sure that he gets his own personal shout out. Josh, thank you for all that you do. There's not been a time where you have said no. You show up every time. You make sure everything is all well put together. You find the resources.

I can't think of anything that you haven't done when asked, and that you haven't offered when I haven't even asked. So, Josh, thank you so much for all you've done. Clark County is so lucky to have you, and we can't wait until we get to work with you again. Thank you again, Josh.

Hi. My name is Pam Kosseski, and I am very honored to be here today to speak about the Clark County Fire Department IT division. These four individuals handle 32 fire stations, 10 rural fire stations, three hundred sixty five days a year, seven days a week, twenty four hours a day. If anyone deserves to be recognized, it's Eric, Anthony, Ahmad, and Chris. So congratulations. You deserve this.

Victor, I'm sure you're working on the next video.

How about a Todd out for Clark County and our employees?

Just a couple notes.

I think last month I had to say the same thing but I wanna say it again on the RPM side. When you talk about 500 plus buildings and every little detail that goes in with that specific to Josh, I get to sit with him pretty regularly on multiple projects, so not only existing buildings, TIs, new buildings. I'm gonna give a shout out for one. We have an opioid treatment center we're working on off of Buffalo. I think I told him when I was there, it's probably one of the most amazing jobs I've seen related to converting a building into a treatment center.

So they just do endless work. I think he's a representative of RPM and all the things they do every day. And then for fire, what can I say, yesterday we were at a training center groundbreaking? Back of the house, you guys are doing a lot. There's emergencies, there's response, there's constituents. As I always say, you have to connect all the dots and you guys run like a Porsche. If things aren't working, things go down and you're dealing with people's lives. So really wanna recognize you and then I wanna hand it over to Commissioner Kirkpatrick to see if she wants to say anything.

Oh, are you kidding?

It wasn't planned, but I'm pretty good on my feet. So I really look, Clark County, I always say we've to tell our story because we have 10,000 plus amazing employees. And the thing about most county employees is it's never know how do we get there and what issue are you trying to solve. So you all are a representation of that. And I was just telling Commissioner Gibson specifically to Josh is that Josh starts in Henderson at 05:30 in the morning and gets home at 08:30 in Henderson at night, but it's seven days a week.

And that is really a testament to who we are as county employees and what we do. We are so busy fixing and providing and servicing and making sure that everything is together so when people do come to us that we have a safe and stable place for them to get what they need. So we couldn't do it without all of you, and you are a real postage stamp of what Clark County has to offer. So congratulations, but most importantly, please thank all of your families because I know that families, you know, have to wait a minute for baseball games or dinner at night, and it's because you are serving the public, and we appreciate that. So on behalf of all the commissioners, congratulations.

Well, thank you everybody and thank you for those who are here for participating in that recognition ceremony this morning. It I think clearly demonstrates the breadth of what we do at Clark County and just how much is going on in this organization. So, we thank you for that. This can bring us to section three of our agenda, which is the public forum. This is the first time set aside for public comment period for items that are on today's agenda. Anyone wishing to speak can come forward at this Speak for up to three minutes and please state your name for the record.

Good morning, county commissioners. My name is Miguel Canales from the Culinary Union speaking on item 71. Last Friday, DBE workers talked to the general managers about the tender agreement, and we still don't know why the company's taking so long to sign the to sign. I have a DBE worker who would like to comment on this.

Good morning commissioners. My name is Chris Sines. I was here two weeks ago. The committee accepted the company proposal on May 1. My colleagues Tony and Manny who were at that meeting were there. It has been nineteen days later, and the companies have stalled. We cannot let the DBE companies continue to delay our workers' this wage increase and retro pay. This delay is unacceptable. I hope we can count on the county commissioners for your support so we can finish the process and get a fair contract. Thank you.

Thank you. Good morning. And if you wanna line up at two different microphones, we'll take you one at a time. Good morning.

Good morning, commissioners. Brian Ayala, 4149 Wagon Trail Lane, representing the Day One Group, one of the, nine ACDB companies. We have come to an agreement with the union. We're just going through the process of dotting the i's, crossing the t's, making sure all nine entities have a chance to review. That's it. There's nothing holding anything

up. Thank you. Good morning.

Good morning. My name is Noah Fischel and at this point I would actually like to yield my three minutes to Ms. Lea Mayo Doriso.

So we don't yield time she can have her own three minutes she's entitled to. Thank you. Good morning.

Good morning. Okay so I'm gonna try to make this fit in with the three minutes that I've been given. Today, the Clark County Commission wants to sell the public a polished, sanitized version of the Las Vegas Grand Prix resolution. They want residents to hear three day race weekend. They want the headline to send

But you do I'm sorry. Under our rules, have to state your name for the record.

So sorry.

That's alright.

Lisa Mayo Doriso, Mayo and Associates. Is that good? Thank you. They want the cameras focused on the strip lights, celebrity parties, corporate sponsors. But the people who actually live here know the truth. This is not a three day event. This is months of lane reductions, traffic nightmares, torn up roads, blocked access, disrupted commutes, delayed deliveries and customers who simply stopped coming. Businesses near the Race corridor are devastated annually by the impacts from construction and road closures tied to Formula One preparations. And now the commission wants to extend the chaos to 2037. Think about that.

The resolution talks about race days, but where is the language about the months of disruption leading up to those race days? Where is the language about the restaurant owner who loses regular customers because nobody can get to their business? Where is the language about workers stuck in traffic for hours? Where is the language about local families avoiding the entire corridor because getting anywhere becomes a nightmare? It's missing because those realities are inconvenient to the sales pitch.

The mega resorts cash in, international businesses may cash in, but small businesses, the backbone of this community are too often left behind. And let's be honest, something about something else. The commission is trying to lock future residents, future businesses and future elected officials into a long term arrangement before the public has truly had an honest, open, transparent conversation about this event. And here's the part that nobody wants to hear. It's three days until early voting begins.

Ballots are sitting on kitchen counters all across Clark County right now. The voters are paying attention. And if residents are tired of the traffic, disruptions, tired of politician putting corporate interests ahead of local neighborhoods and small businesses, then vote today against the two incumbents who are on the ballot. Thank you.

Thank you. For the record, I believe that those comments were related to item 72. Anyone wishing to speak, please state your name for the record and the item you're speaking towards. Good morning.

Good morning. My name is Gwen Dwiggins, g w e n d w I g g I n s, for the record. My address is 96711 Rankin Ridge Court. I am here to speak on item 43. I'm here to ask the commissioners to strongly reconsider extending exclusivity to UMC in their relationship with UNLV to be the sole placement for residencies.

While UMC has its strengths and many merits, the lack of a self standing children's hospital with a focus on all areas of pediatric health needs to be addressed in our community. As a parent, when I moved here in 2013, there were inadequate care options for my five year old, who need a pediatric endocrinologist. Back to Ohio two to four times per year for seven years to get him the care he needed. No more family should have to leave Las Vegas to ensure access to medical care for their children. Second, while UMC is known for its trauma, burn, and transplant services as a training site, it's grossly limited in the workforce that it can train and develop in other specialties.

Diversity in training sites can only add diversity in training, specialty options, and often increases rigor, knowing that you're not the only game in town. Choices for families are crucial. The more crucial is simple access, which in turn provides more training opportunities to students and residents and LB. This is a critical to grow the workforce of qualified pediatric health care providers and the potential for these providers to remain here in Las Vegas. Specifically allowing Intermountain Health, News Children's Hospital to offer and accept builds our community while keeping Medicaid and commercial insurance dollars local versus continuing to have these dollars go to California and Utah.

Please seriously consider this relationship and the exclusivity pathway. It's bad for our economy and is detrimental to our children who deserve access to high quality pediatric care.

Thank you. Good morning.

Good morning everyone. My name is Cyrus Hodjadi and I am an employee of Desert Cab and I like to represent all cab, limo and rideshare drivers. And let me tell you something, you guys need us. Cyrus, CYRUSAJJATY. I'm a post op item 72. This f one race has brought a lot of hassle, concern, stress into the streets. This takes about three months of set up and planning. Lots of congestion. This means, as a driver, if I don't check the route and find a bypass and get stuck, I could seriously get screwed. It increases our stress.

It increases our accident risk. It's very dangerous to drive around these areas when these places are being set up. Stop lights don't work efficiently. Lane markings aren't even showed properly. We don't have these little things that they install in the boulevard. They're just basically paint. How can we see them with too much lights or the sun and everything? And I would suggest to have this event every three years. I'm not anti racing but I think we need a little bit of a break. A lot of these writers we get are very spoiled, pushy, my earnings from last year was worse than the previous two years.

I mean, is serious because we, as employees working the tourist sector, we're not making much dry spell from November to December. This is disproportionately hurting small businesses. It's reducing the access points of many condos around the area. Seriously, think about it. Has this actually helped tourism numbers? According to the LVCVA, visitor volume peaked in 2016. What happened in 2016? Oh yeah, parking valet charges. That's right. Our reputation is being harmed as this is mainly catering to the upper 20% or certain types of tourists.

I'd like to ask, ladies and gentlemen, why hasn't the establishment corporate media has ever done a poll of registered voters of whether they like f one in their communities, particularly their workers who work in the tourist area? And, more importantly, we don't have a true mass transit system to take people in an alternative route, if there's just so much congestion. Honestly, the so called loop tunnels, how do we know that's gonna work? How do we know if there's gonna be enough capacity? This has been a pretty stressful experience for me driving around, going through all the congestion.

And I'm concerned about my livelihood. You know, I'm trying to make a living. This is why I'm trying alternative sources of living. Doing my first project off topic. But please, reconsider this decision. Have some compromise deal. We ask you to think twice about this plan or even not go on with it. Thank you.

Thank you. Good morning. Good morning.

Eric Ballou, 10633 Amberwood Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 8900144. I'm here to talk about item 43. I'm passionate about pediatric health care because of my son Tyler Ballou. Tyler was a thriving eighth grader at Sig Rogich Middle School, always playing sports and spending time with his incredible friends when he was diagnosed with cancer at 11 years old. We found him incredible doctors at Saint Jude and Cedar Sinai, and I would have gone anywhere in the world for his treatment.

But that meant five months with our family living in separate states. My wife Renee and I traded places every seven to ten days, so Tyler was never alone. We were an outlier, and I had flexibility most Nevada parents don't have. Most families here cannot afford two one way airline tickets every single week. We lost Tyler in December 2022. We had to pull our vehicle over on the shoulder of I-fifteen to call an ambulance just outside of Baker, California. We were on our way to Los Angeles for Tyler to get his cancer treatment the next morning. The clouds that night were too low for a helicopter. We waited forty minutes with a nine one one dispatcher on the line. When the ambulance arrived, Tyler flatlined.

I was doing chest compressions while Renee squeezed the oxygen bag and the paramedic worked to clear his airway as the ambulance raced to the emergency room. Tyler never spoke to us again. We ultimately lost him a few hours later after being moved to Loma Linda Children's Hospital. Tyler's story is not unique. We are losing Nevada children on the interstate because they must travel out of state for treatment. I will never bash the dedicated doctors, nurses, and hospitals we have in Nevada. They are doing extraordinary work with what they have, and that's exactly the point. We need more of them. Pediatric specialists trained right here in Las Vegas that stay in Las Vegas. The city of Las Vegas honored Tyler's citizen of the month in May 2025 for his strength and courage.

Two weeks ago, Metro Police shared some of his story and his teddy bear donation. The post received three times their normal social media engagement. Tyler's journey resonates because every parent here can imagine what it means to need great medicine for their child and not have the specialist needed in the state. Every business leader knows the great hospitals are infrastructure as essential as roads and airports driving economic growth. Ultimately, Nevada has a responsibility to take care of Nevada children.

Great medicine is not a partisan issue. It is a Nevada issue. We are rapidly growing, and this issue is too important for it to become a turf war over who should provide care to kids in Las Vegas. This is an all hands call, and we need absolutely everyone contributing. Tyler never wanted to be known as the kid with cancer. He just wanted to be home with his friends. I would give anything for one more day with my son. If we weren't so isolated when we called 911, could we have had one more Christmas? I want the next Tyler in Las Vegas to get treatment here in the community in the morning and be home in time to play with his little sisters or make it to football practice in the afternoon. My girls miss them. Thank you for letting me share Tyler's story.

Thank you for being here. Good Good morning.

Good morning Chair, Commissioners. My name is Virginia Valentine. I'm with the Nevada Resort Association. I'm here to speak in support of item 48, which will fund the preparation submission of reports required under AB4 to the county commissioners in the Nevada legislature and coordination with county and state stakeholders and support data reporting. So we appreciate your support of this item and all of the work you do for all of us. Thank you.

Thank you. Good morning.

Hello, my name is Al Rojas. I live in Sunrise Manor. For those who don't know, I've been involved in Neighborhood Watch Digital and we've been involved with over 50 encampment removals and 50 RV removals. I'm speaking on item number 77 which is the proposed closing of the Arroyo Walkway or the Arroyo Pathway from Sahara to Boulder City. I am in total support of that.

We have to get on top of this homeless problem and we've been doing major progress. We want to thank our commissioners for their no camping ordinance and our digital group has been working hard with the cooperation of our commissioners and we're making significant progress. I want the public to know that as we start closing these large encampments down, they grow but sometimes they grow back at a smaller rate and the more we attack them the footprint is being reduced and people are actually coming up to me while I pump my gas at the gas station and saying hey you guys are doing a fantastic job. So it may be temporarily closed for a while. We can always close it back up when we get on top of things.

I totally support that whoever came up with that idea was a fantastic idea. I wanna let the county know that and residents that we are moving forward and the new Camping Ordinance is doing fantastic. Thank you.

Thank you. Good morning.

Good morning once again esteemed leaders, commissioners. Thank you all. My name is Eric King and I would like to speak on items in behalf of expounding on items that I just had here that are including item number two and also item number six. I'd like to Per

the rules, you can speak on items on section four or later. So section six, you can speak on now if you'd like

to. Section six. Section six. Section six?

I'm sorry, actually neither of those items are on Section four. Is there anything later in the agenda you're here to speak on otherwise you can wait until the second time set aside for public comment.

I am here, well I was here to speak on behalf of Senior Services. I believe there's another item. I just don't know the number right now on senior housing and so forth. So I'd like to speak on behalf of seniors and veterans that are seniors, if that's all right, for a couple minutes.

I believe we have an item related to CDEC that that could apply to.

Okay, thank you very much. I hadn't put the number in my head on that one, so forgive me. Here I have two minutes. On behalf of it being public Islander as well as there's plenty of seniors that are public islanders here, I'd to say aloha and mahalo nui for the graciousness that was shown to them today. So the aloha spirit is quite a special thing.

It beats ever stronger here and makes hearts sing. Here in the 9th Island of Las Vegas and Clark County where we've reduced the blowing sand. Here, hearts come alive helping others thrive when the spirit of aloha rolls along on winds that blow up. A healthier, stronger community nearer to make all of our lives happier and clearer. We want that all for seniors and their health and their longevity.

Certainly, everyone would agree with me on that. I'd be really excited to continue dialogues begun already on behalf of the seniors, also the health conditions for them here. And I want to say thank you very much. It is part of why I came to the graciousness offered to me by you Chairman NAFT when I spoke with you a couple of weeks back on some other items. So thank you all for that. Thank you for hearing this little invocation that I had about Pacific Islander month in honor of it and seniors that are here in the community from the other eight islands and all around the Pacific. You all are gracious for it and I'm cherished that you allowed me to say that. Thank you all very much.

You. And I believe those comments were related to item 76. Else wishing to speak on public comment, please come forward at this time. Good morning.

Good morning, commissioners. My name is Alan Snell. And I'm here to speak on item 73, complete streets. I was very happy to see that on the agenda. And complete streets is essential for Clark County in the Las Vegas area.

It's the notion that our public roads need to be engineered for all users, not just people who drive cars, but people who ride bicycles and walk in wheelchairs and any other way of transportation. I don't have to tell you about Clark County in the Las Vegas area about the need to improve our roads for people other than just drivers. I felt so strongly about this that twenty years ago, I actually left my career. I had worked as a journalist. I was at the Tampa Tribune covering the business of sports and stadiums.

And I actually left because so many people were being killed on our roads, bicyclists and walkers. I left journalism, and I worked six and a half years full time on bicycle safety, road safety issues. When I moved to Las Vegas in 2012 and got back into the business, I was concerned that so many many crashes seem to be almost taken for granted. I was kind of astonished by that. And Complete Streets is such an important tool.

And I'm so glad that Commissioner Jones has brought this to the agenda. It's really essential that we work on this particular topic. This is a transportation issue. This is a public safety issue. And I want to point out some projects that show that you guys are actually on the on the right track. Fort Apache Road was a road that was completely dangerous. Commissioner Jones helped get that road rebuilt. I biked that road. I biked it once. I said never again.

But since it was rebuilt, now I'm using it. It's part of my route. Another great project has been an issue that I've kind of brought to some folks' attention, and that is our trail system. You have a very long system along the Route 215 Highway. And you have a trail that crosses Charleston. The curb cuts for bicyclists were at a 45 degree angle. That's the way you designed those trails. And it was extremely dangerous. It's really just for the grace of God that people have not been killed or injured there. Again, led by Commissioner Jones, there's a tunnel being built.

Great, great move. For more than twenty years, people have asked for a trail from Summerlin to the Red Rock through the Red Rock Canyon, at least to the Red Rock Loop. And I'm glad to say that I was happy to celebrate that opening only a few weeks ago. Zero point nine nine of a mile, there's obviously a little more to go and it's on track. So I'm really happy about that. And also Commissioner Jones has created a he worked on a mountain bike.

I hate to cut off your compliments, but you gotta wrap up, mister Snell.

Okay. Please work on this. Work with the city of Las Vegas. I would suggest that you create a department of metro bicycle and walking and improve in this area.

Thanks so Thank you very much. Anyone else wishing to speak during the first time set aside for public comment, please come forward at this time. Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing. This moves us to section four of the agenda.

Commissioners, your next item is approval of the minutes of the regular meeting on 04/21/2026.

Mr. Chair, move approval of the minutes.

Thank you. There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. That motion passes.

Commissioners, your next item is approval of the agenda with the inclusion of any emergency items and the deletion of any items. Staff is recommending that item 43 under your consent agenda be taken separately.

With that written to the record, I move approval of the agenda.

Thank you. There's a motion for approval with item 43 being heard separately.

Commissioners, we can now move to the approval of your consent agenda consisting of items number 11 through number 50. Number 43 will be taken separately.

I move approval of our consent agenda items 11 through 50 with 43 taken separately.

There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. That motion passes.

Measures, we'll now move to item 43, is to approve and authorize the Chief Executive Officer to sign the Academic Health Center Master Affiliation Agreement between the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education on behalf of the University of Nevada Las Vegas and its School of Medicine and University Medical Center of Southern Nevada or take other action as deemed appropriate.

Commissioners, before you hear this item, there are two proposed changes to the agreement for the trustees to consider. The first is to revise the term of the agreement to a five year agreement to remove the auto renewal provision. Therefore section 13.1 would read, this agreement shall have a term of five years from the effective date, such expiration to conside with the end of the academic year. At least twelve months prior to the expiration of the term, the parties will commence good faith efforts towards extending the term of the agreement or ending the affiliation in such way that will cause the least interruption to the education and ongoing operation of the School of Medicine and UMC. And then consistent with that change to make it a five year agreement in section 3.2, the first three sentences would also be deleted.

And then there's a second request to amend section 3.3A, and the proposal would be to add starting a new pediatric residency program with another hospital at the end of 3.31which would allow UNLV School of Medicine to have a nonexclusive relationship with respect to the pediatric residency program.

Thank you, Ms. Longestand. I really appreciate you working with all of the stakeholders to get to that amended language that you just read into the record to recap what you've indicated that calls for a five year agreement with removal of auto renewals, no exclusivity for pediatrics. And again, this has been a long process to get to this point, but it's something that I believe incorporates all of the stakeholders' concerns. I want to open up the floor now for comments from this board. Commissioner Kirkpatrick?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm struggling. There's lot a of great things in here, but I specifically asked for a separate board that we could have conversations so that the whole community could know specifically what are we doing because it is not I don't know what we're doing and I'm pretty in the know, right? So I am in the GME issue is a hot topic for the state, for the feds, for locally.

So I just want to have some discussion on expectations on Section three, because it says that there's a GME agreement that's coming back to us. So I kind of want to know what does that mean, because it's going to make or break where I go today. And the reason is because I use specific examples of other states that had John Hopkins University, UCLA. They all have a separate board, so everybody kind of knows where we're headed. And I think it's important for everybody to know, right?

Are we missing the mark? I sit on a couple boards where, you know, I can't even really say if we're missing the mark, right? Some state boards never meet, some other ones do meet, so I just want someone to tell me what should I expect or not expect so I can wrap my brain around my decision today.

Thank you, Commissioner Kirkpatrick. I imagine Ms. Longston will encapsulate some of what you're looking for, but think you'd have brought this up many times over the years. I think your desire to have more oversight over this relationship is not lost on anyone here. Lisa?

It's lost in the paper.

Well let's try to fix that.

So in section three and three point one there is the establishment of graduate medical education consortium. And so under the agreement UNLV and UMC will work collaboratively to establish necessary expansion of those programs. And so one of the first tasks of that is for those two organizations to meet in section 3.1, section five there, it says if any third party should be involved in that and the scope of what that would look like. So it sounds like maybe you think there's some stakeholders and some other stakeholders. So I think if we want to provide that direction,

the parties Yes, can work for and I'm sorry, I don't mean to say listen, but here's the thing. I wrote the original legislation, just FYI why I'm so interested in this, and we spent a lot of money separating from UNR at the time, but I felt that we needed to have a lot of this. We have since committed to all these GME programs, whether it be UMC, the state did some extras, some other hospitals, but then we're not I could show you the list, and it got better this last time of the people that are leaving, why are they leaving? I don't know, because I can't find any conversation about what that looks like. So I would like to see some oversight.

I would like to tell parents that we need all these people. I could walk back to when we brought Doctor. Troy Rana to Sunrise because there was not a second opinion in this town. So I want it to be very transparent. I want it to be mission driven. I want it to have other people on it so that we can all figure out regionally what's in the best interest of this community. And it's all of those things, right? So is that something that they could bring back? And if they don't bring it back, then what their consequences if they don't bring something back like that?

So each year, this agreement also comes before this board. Because right now, you're authorizing about $17,000,000 in the graduate medical education the support between UNLV and UNC. So this agreement will come back to you for next year for that funding. Maybe we continue to work on that process and it could be an amendment in the next future kind of based on this direction.

And is there not like a regular report or another commissioner that could sit on this? I just feel like there I know I hate to be blowing up a deal, but this was a deal for me for a long time, right? Because I think that we need to do better. We need to have every type and not just change when something new comes to our community, right? So pediatrics, we've been fighting for years and years and years. Okay, but we need all aspects. And I will tell my colleagues, you can look, we don't have pediatric radiology. We don't have there's a list of what we don't have. But then what about my senior citizens? We don't have ear, nose, and throat doctors here.

We don't have all of those things, and it would be nice if somebody kind of said, this board public meeting where everybody could hear it, I could watch it. I don't have to go to everything and make people crazy, but I could watch it and see if we're hitting the mission, we're making a dent in the mark of what we need. So if you tell me that I could hold up the whole thing and the board will agree with me with their money, then maybe I'd feel comfortable voting for it, but I'm serious about wanting this separate board. So I see UNLV, I see UMC in here, I want you to I'm not kidding. I want this separate board like other states have that are professional with medical schools, and I'm not going to stop asking until I get it.

I think we have several people in the audience who are shaking their head including our president and our CEO of the hospital and university. Commissioner Segerbloom?

Yeah, just to echo what Marilyn said, I think this is the first step. We needed to get involved in this process because the two sides weren't talking. Now I think we've interjected ourselves in. But remember UMC is the Clark County Commission. So we can do anything on the UMC side. We can be in any meeting we want to be on. We can publicize anything we want to publicize. But we need to get this thing started I think to make sure that the medical school and the new children's hospital can work together going forward. And now we're taking over UMC so we can be more involved. I

I So is that a commitment from you that you're gonna hold their money if we don't get this agreement? Is that what you're saying?

Because I'll wanna do more than hold their money. I wanna make sure it doesn't happen.

Okay. Perfect.

Commissioner McCurdy. You know, I

think, commissioner Kirkpatrick makes a strong point. It has been brought up several times. I'd be more than happy to work with you, bring everyone together, and bring all the stakeholders together to make sure that we get this done. But also, just wanna know that we've come a long way with having this agreement before us today. It's been a lot of conversations, a lot of meetings, and a lot of deliberation about where we're going into the future. I'm just so proud of the work that has been done to get us to this point. And thank you, chairman, for making sure that we got here. So I think this is a good deal.

Thank you. If there's no other discussion on this item, I'm prepared to move for a motion of approval of item 43 with the additional amendments written to the record by Ms. Logsdon. Logsdon. Please cast your vote.

And the commitments that we're gonna revisit this GME

My motion is inclusive

of I'm Commissioner Patrick's gonna hold you all

to it.

I move approval. Approval. That motion passes, thank you.

Commissioners, there's been a request to move quickly to you.

I'm sorry, before we wrap up that, Manager Schiller, I did just want to comment though that now that that item is behind us, this is actually a really exciting time for healthcare in this community. I want to draw some attention if people leave. There are several items beyond that one we just heard on today's agenda. The affiliation agreement is significant. It's a big step forward.

The comments that were made are important. But also today we've got a TEFRA hearing, Item 61, related to Intermountain, the state's first standalone pediatric hospital that's coming to our valley. Tomorrow we have multiple items related to that as well during our in our capacity as a land use board. There are some really exciting things happening and it's a tribute to a lot of people in and outside of this room, so I didn't want to let that moment pass without saying that. Thank you.

Commissioners, there's been a request to go to item 74 under your business section, and then we'll move to public hearings. Item 74 is to receive a presentation from the a's on the stadium development, including the phasing of development and design elements of the site and direct staff accordingly.

Good morning.

Great.

Sandy Dean with the ownership group of the A's. I'm joined by Mark Bedane and Tyler Vanacott. We're going to each of us address a section of the presentation. We're going to begin with Tyler, who's from Mortenson McCarthy, who's going to give a construction update on what's happening with the ballpark. And I just want to say this is my first time being back here in a year and we're excited to get to share with you the progress that's been made and what we're doing together. Tyler?

Good morning. Thank you, Sandy. Clark County Board of Commissioners, thank you for the opportunity to share on behalf of Morton's McCarthy, also known as MMJV. I am Tyler Vanacat, the project director representing, both firms today. So currently, I just wanted to start with sharing a little bit about where we're at with our craft workforce.

We have around 550 craft workforce on-site each and every day that are contributing and and really doing a tremendous job performing the work here on-site. None of that would be possible if it wasn't for all of the work that went into the approvals, the time, the energy of Clark County, the water reclamation, the building department, public works, all of the above. And I just wanna be extremely appreciative of that group. There's tireless amount of hours and effort that's going in behind the scenes that a lot of people don't see that's contributing to the success of the ballpark of where we're at today. We'll go ahead and go to the next slide, please.

I'm gonna start with some of the information here on both the construction update and the project coordination. Not intended to read every single line item here. There's also some photos that we'll speak to here in a moment that help illustrate a lot of the progress that's happened on-site. But there is tremendous amount of work happening on pretty much every single level of the ballpark currently. We are poured out with our structural concrete on our lower suite level as well as our main concourse level.

So that's creating a full, walkway around the full extent of the ballpark. We're currently working on our event level. So we have activities such as slab on grade that's progressing, and then, interior CME walls. We're working on the exterior of the ballpark. So we're looking at actually try starting to enclose some of these areas so that we can continue with successor work, which is really exciting.

And then, you know, probably most exciting that a lot of people are able to see as they're driving by the ballpark is looking at the steel structure itself. We have the the bowl structure that's continued to progress on-site. We're fabricating the large truss assemblies on the ground, which I'll show some pictures of. And then we have these substantial shoring towers, which are gonna hold up that roof structure, which are really exciting. A lot of the things happening behind the scenes, so, you know, project coordination continues to go well, again, with the efforts of Clark County, which we're very appreciative of.

All primary permit packages for the building have been approved. We're getting a lot of deliveries of off-site fabricated elements such as the escalators and then continuing all of our fabrication of steel off-site. Again, a lot of this is helpful when we look at some of the pictures which I'll speak more to. So the video here helps demonstrate a lot of a lot of the progress that's happened since February. We wanted to just help illustrate a lot of the work that's happening in such a short amount of time.

So this video flies over, starting around, you know, the south end of the ballpark. But when I say that the structural decks are complete, even when you fast forward or when you rewind to February, a lot of that work was still in progress. At this time in the ballpark, we're now in March, we hadn't even started any of the the structural steel that I had mentioned previously. So all of what you see there that is the structural steel in the ballpark just started more recently that you start to see here in this this video here in April. The green shoring towers, this is, those have been elevated since this was shot.

And, you know, that's really, I think, helping everybody visualize, how substantial some of the structure will be when we talk about the roof structure in particular. This video here on April 20, it actually showing in the top left corner currently that last pan and joist, deck pour that we had that was, shortly after this video was taken. We had a nice opportunity to celebrate with the craft after that in which, mister John Fisher joined us as well. Here in this video, you're seeing that large crane being erected. So that is one of the largest cranes in North America that we currently have on-site.

That'll help support the erection of the truss steel. And then since that video's been filmed, we have another one here on the Southeast Corner as well that'll help erect some of the steel. So exciting, you know, for us construction nerds, but, again, it's hopefully exciting for you as well because this is a lot of your efforts have helped contribute to this clearly. So speaking a little bit about some upcoming milestones, you know, we've talked a little bit about where we've been. Now I'd like to start sharing a bit about where we're going.

So those shoring towers, not gonna speak about those again, but what we now have is two of those, know, very large roof structure tower cranes that are gonna help support the erection of the the primary structure. And, you know, a lot of what this visual is intended to help communicate is the progression of what you're gonna see here in the next couple months with the the roof steel in particular. So we're gonna start the actual assembly. We've assembled these, trusses on the ground, and we're gonna start setting those in place here early June. So for anybody driving around the ballpark, looking at the ballpark, it's gonna start to look substantially different, which we're very excited about.

We spoke a bit about the masonry. Another exciting activity is in about three weeks, we're gonna start our precast stadia. So that is precast treads. That's gonna sit and actually create the the bowl in which people will sit on, and that'll that'll sit on top of the steel that you saw in the previous video and photos. MEP underground interior roughing and framing.

I'm gonna skip to some of the photos because I think that'll be help more helpful to illustrate. For this slide, what I really wanna communicate here is we're extremely excited to share that we are on schedule. Again, that's because of the contributions of the county. It's because of the tremendous workforce. But, you know, a big part of what our obligation is is meeting the obligation and the dates in which we've committed to, and we're excited to share today that we continue to be on schedule.

Schedule. The next video here is our four d model. This is helping to illustrate our plan that we use to communicate with both our trade partners, maybe community members, what the visualization is and the progression of the work here. So this goes all the way back to a year ago when we just started with earthwork. What you're seeing here is a lot of the piles and the foundations going into place.

Right behind where that tower crane is, you know, roughly speaking, is HomePlate right at the diamond there. So our work started behind HomePlate. So anytime that you're either visiting the site or you're looking at the ballpark, you'll see the most progression of work right behind HomePlate, and then, we've progressed up and then out. So this video will help illustrate and communicate as that structure started to come up and then continue to work its way around. This is roughly speaking, probably in the, you know, January to February of this year time frame, getting closer to the March, April currently, and then when that steel started in the bowl was in April.

So this is a plan that that is really helpful to make sure that we don't have any issues that surprise us in the future. It's a way that we can visualize, make sure that we're executing the work safely, and make sure that we are thinking of any potential problems that could arise in the future. So the environment that we create and we help establish is one in which everyone can speak up, everyone has a voice, and this is a tool that allows for anybody to be able to speak up and say, hey. I have a concern. I have question, and I'd like to make sure that we're on the same page.

This is getting closer to the end of this year. We're getting, you know, close ish to roof structure finalizing, which will happen in 2027. A lot of the enclosure on the the roof is going in in at this time and progressing around the ballpark. There's these really tremendous ETFE and PTFE is what it's called. That's the clear stories that you see at the very top of the ballpark between the different pennants.

That's what's being illustrated here in the green coming across the ballpark now. And then one of the final elements and one of the most extraordinary aspects of the build will be the cable net on the very north side of the ballpark that looks out at the tremendous strip view, and that's what you're seeing being glazed here in the video. The final couple months after the project gets glazed is purely us finishing out the interiors, finishing up our commissioning, and and then we're done. So that's all it takes. Okay.

Just a couple more here to make sure that you're following the progression of the ballpark as I know words are not always as helpful as visuals. So this visual really helped illustrate the exterior facade. That blue that you see is our exterior weatherboard. That's helping us get enclosed for the event level and lower suite level. This slide's helping to illustrate some of that bull steel.

You can see the large truss steel, and is another photo here in the background, the shoring towers and then the substantial crane in the middle of the ballpark. The other image that you can see in the bottom left of this photo is one of the buttresses. This is the foundation that will actually hold up the roof steel itself and those trusses that you see in this image. Don't let the images fool you here and for anybody that's driven by the ballpark. This is substantially very large steel that that we're putting really sophisticated plans in order to make sure that we don't have any problems.

But this is the steel that you're gonna start seeing being erected early June. This is showing some of the steel progression, but then I wanna point your attention to the bottom photos. This is showing the progression of some of the interior work, the framing, the interior MEP, a lot of our slab on grade work, and then the start of some of the CMU progressing on those levels as well. And then I think this photo on the on the left side is is just fun to help understand how large these buttresses are that's supporting the truss deal. Before we get to outside the ballpark, I wanted to just take a moment to speak about how we're progressing on our community participation.

There is a slide on this in just a moment, but I'm excited to share that we are continuing to meet the requirements of SB one. This is not only a requirement for us, but it's how we conduct our business. It matters. It makes a difference, and it's something that really does matter. So we're currently trending at 15 o eight of the required 15%.

But what that translates to, and I think is a little bit more tangible make sure I get the number right. I wanna make sure I get the number right. A $155,000,000 of committed funds to small business firms, so a substantial dollar value. Additionally, as it relates to workforce, we're currently trending around 78% of targeted workforce above the required 51%. I'd like to hand it back to mister Sandy Dean.

Thanks, Tyler. And I'll just say even from the perimeter of the site now, you can really see the bowl taking shape and how vertical it's going to be. For people who've toured the site, you can get a feel for how close the seats are going to feel to the field. So there's a lot of excitement there. Tyler has basically been describing everything that's happening inside the perimeter of the ballpark.

For ourselves internally, we often talk about that as inside the nine acres. Our ballpark site is exactly a nine acre circle. I'm going to take a moment and talk some about what is going on outside the 9 Acres. Bally's, our partner, is in charge of what happens outside the 9 Acres and also we can build things for the ballpark outside the 9 Acres if it's consistent with Bally's plan and needed for entitlements for the ballpark included the approval of a 2,500 car garage in the southeast corner of the site and also a central utility plant that was contemplated to serve the entire site. When we talk about central utility plant, it's important to say that's the place where we'll make chilled water for air conditioning and hot water for heating and some electrical infrastructure to support that.

As Vale has worked on their phasing and especially with the expectation that a hotel tower is likely to be beyond a Phase one of whatever they would build, a couple of changes are coming out of the design for the outside the nine acre plan. And one is that for much of 2025, we and Bally's together expected there would be a single central utility plant that would serve the entire site. And because of the rate at which they expect that they're going to phase what they build, it feels like it's a much better decision to phase the central utility plant. And I'm going to in a minute show a picture that will be worth a thousand words hopefully. Their central utility plant was going to go just north of the Southeast Garage up against the eastern side of the property.

And we're going to leave that site for a second phase two of the central utility plant and we're going to create a Phase one of the central utility plant that will be on what would have been the eastern edge of the garage on this site. And I'm going to see if I can make the slides work. So on the left hand side of the picture, can see kind of the whole site plan with the ballpark and the Southeast garage. And on the right picture, can see to the north of the garage it says Future IR COP. IR is a mysterious acronym for integrated resort.

And what's in green is basically a 50 foot strip being taken out of what would have been the garage footprint and making that available for a utility plant for the As and possibly some additional improvements on the site. Any questions on any of that? Okay, and then I'm going to just talk about the garage for a minute. With the hotel tower expecting to be beyond a Phase one for Bally's, we're also going to phase the Southeast Garage. It's contemplated to be 2,500 stalls at full capacity, but we're going to have a first one phase of 1,500 stalls.

That should be ready for opening day. And as more development happens on the site, that could be expanded to go back to the contemplated 2,500 stalls. Any questions?

You're doing great.

So I'll have a couple of questions and comments in a few minutes, but we'll let you finish the presentation.

Okay. That's the end of my piece. Should I bring on the next piece?

Wow, Sandy. You're really moving. Sure.

Thank you, Commissioner Gibson. I'm gonna bring up Mark Bidane. Thanks, guys.

I guess Tyler gets the nine acres. Sandy gets outside the nine acres. I get everything else. You guys were kind enough to allow us to come in in December and share a little bit about what we were doing in the community. So thank you for that. Thank you for giving us the opportunity again. Similar to Tyler, I'm not going to read everything that's on the slide, but we've been out in force in the community at what feels like five to 10 events per week. We've had a chance to engage with a lot of causes close to you and we'll continue to do that. One point I did want to point out on this slide is in the bottom right you see 56 current As and Legends employees based in Las Vegas. If we'd had this meeting a year ago, that would have been two.

So we've been relocating a number of people and we've been hiring a lot of people and that will continue. And what I enjoy about that, especially for those that get to relocate here, is how much they enjoy engaging in this community. And I think if they were at this meeting today just to see the diversity and what gets done in this community and the 14 people that you honored earlier and sitting behind me is Flava Flav for some reason, what goes on in this community just amazes me every single day. I love living here and it's fun to bring some new people and get them to see, a, where they're moving to, the impact they're having. You heard Tyler talk about the jobs and all of the job creation, and that extends not just to the construction side but to the front office as well.

All those folks are moving here, are buying, renting homes, engaging their community, joining boards, volunteering their time and becoming key members of this community. That will continue over the summer. A number of our executive employees as their kids are finishing up the school year in California are moving here. So that number will be significantly higher a year from now. This is just a logo page to show some of the organizations that we've spent some time with and supported over the last few months.

And you've seen the work on the site. We have an experience center now open at Uncommons. We've been able to do a lot of tours there for the community in addition to our sales efforts and also do some hard hat tours at the stadium at the ballpark so people can see the progress and see the workforce and see what they're a part of building. So we encourage all of you to continue to join us on those. We've had a great quarter. We have some exciting things coming up. We have six games in June. The team is currently in first place, and we have six games the second week of June against the Milwaukee Brewers and the Colorado Rockies. So hopefully you can join us for some of those games as well. And we'll be doing a lot of community engagement and activation around those games.

From a sales update standpoint, we opened our preview center back in December but really didn't start selling until March. The community has responded very strongly. We're doing very well. But I did want to point out in addition just to the premium product that's on sale now, our plan is to have price points for everybody in this community, affordable ticketing, deals for locals. So those will continue and we'll continue to give sales updates as that progresses. I think Sandy you're back up to answer questions unless you have any for me.

No, thank you very much.

Commissioner Gibson?

Thank you very much. When I first met representatives of the A's organization, including the family members. One of the first things that we talked about was the immersive experience it's going to be for you when you come into this community and what would be expected of you, but what we felt you would bring. And what you've demonstrated over the course of the months is that all of that and considerably more than we imagined has been, on the table. You've been living it.

We really appreciate the way that you've invested, engaged, activated, and integrated. You've done everything, that we could have hoped for, and we know that it'll only get better the longer you're here. Because we're talking about a couple of changes for the CUP and the Southeast Garage, I think it appropriate, and I've talked to our attorneys and with our director of planning, that we instruct the staff, and Mr. Manager and Ms. Logdan, I want to make sure that this works, but I'd like to provide some instruction to the staff to administratively handle the placement of the CUP and the phasing of the CUP CUP and the phasing of the garage structure.

Obviously, it needs to be parked adequately, and it will be. A lot of that will be determined over the course of time. We still have the ability to do that. We have an approval that would authorize up to the 2,500 parking spaces. But at the moment, in order to get the stadium, keep the stadium on schedule, I think it's appropriate, and I'll let you weigh in, Lisa, that we provide that instruction to staff. I'm happy to answer any questions there may be. Lisa?

Yes, these approvals can be done administratively and so this was kind of information for the board and if the board had any concerns with that, there's opportunity to make any of those comments. So this process will be handled administrative by planning.

Good. Do you need anything more, Ms. Aniston?

No, this is Jennifer Amarin from comp planning. We have the direction I think we need and we'll move forward.

Okay. So

I would, when do you think you'll be ready to submit an application for administrative review?

Sandy? There's work going on. The permit plans for the garage were basically done and those are being modified to account for the phasing. And so I think those are probably within a month or something. The central utility plant is a little bit longer, but probably within two months. And we're pushing hard to move those things along as fast as we can.

And then just one other question. The pedestal, the garage and the pedestal in the Northwest Northwest corner is also an integral part of what's inside the nine acres. It's a true connector, right, because there's a difference in elevation. The stadium sits, what, 37 feet higher than the sidewalk?

Yes. The front door of the stadium is up at 37 or 38 feet. The bridges from Excalibur and MGM are, they're not quite the same. They're like twenty two and twenty five or something. And Bally's is working on their plans for that and their financing for that. And that's in process. We've been thinking about contingency plans if that doesn't come together, and we're gonna talk about that on Thursday at the Stadium Authority meeting. We can share more about that if you want to talk about that here.

Well I think that the only concern we have is that everything is proceeding apace, and you have the time to complete everything. And that'll that'll stay top of mind all the way through the end of this thing. And I know you're the As are concerned, Bally's is concerned, and the county is concerned.

We're working on that every day, and we today have time to sort all of this out. Hey, the clock is ticking, so there's some things that have to get resolved in the next couple of months, and we're gonna be working on it daily until then.

Alright. And then just one interesting fact. The height of the roof of the stadium will be approximately as high as the room tower at MGM. Is that a true statement?

Actually, I think for people who come visit the site, you look at the the geometry of the bowl, which has really taken shape. That's a lot. But then you turn around and look at the MGM Tower, and you're like, wow. Like, there's more to come here. Yes.

I think there's another comment that is important. Mortensen McCarthy has brought all of the skill and talent together with the subcontractors and the incredible workforce that we have here to do an amazing thing. This is not just an iconic structure that's being built, but it's a complex structure. And, I think this is as good evidence as there ever has been that we can build anything here. And I want we really appreciate the professional, level of work that's being done there and the expertise and leadership that's being provided.

It's an amazing thing. The the reality is that the a's fit in Las Vegas. It's also nice to be in first place, and that's been fun.

We agree. We felt really welcomed. We can't say that enough. Thank you.

I know. I wanna say something.

So, miss Kirkpatrick has a question or a comment. She probably has a little of both.

No, no, I actually, I would just say, you know, I've been the hardest about the community benefit agreement in all of the things, and I want to compliment you on to date. Stomper is super popular throughout the valley. You've been very generous with that, and I also want to point out, because I know what I've learned about you all, there are just some things that you do that you don't want any notoriety for, and that's a good trait to have, right? In my book. In my book, that's a good trait because everybody can cut ribbons, everybody can say all the things that they do, but at the end of the day, if it's really more about making sure that things get done, and I want to point out that when those kids were playing Little League and they were trying to finish off their season, You guys stepped up to the plate without any fanfare or anything, and and that's really who those are the partners I want in this community are the people that will step up and make sure that a nine year old's dream comes true because that's most important.

Right? So you have won me over with the way that you are handling it, and I've been hard on you from day one, no secret there, but by not always having to be the grandstander and all that goes a long ways with me. So I wanted to point that out. I wanted to point out that I look forward to continuing those community benefits because this is really, this is what we should be doing, and I appreciate that. So I don't give compliments very often, so take it for what it is, but it goes a long ways when you don't have to shout at the top of the lungs what you're doing.

We'll ask the clerk to print that for the record for you.

Can we put that in bold and bigger font in the record? Thank you Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

I'd tattoo it on my forearm if I were you.

We will be moving on to the next item. Thank you Mr. Dean.

Thank you. At this time, I'd like to open the public hearing. Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward at this time. Please state your name for the record.

My name is Al Rojas. I live in Sunrise Manor. Like I said before, I've been involved in neighborhood watch. We've been helping a lot with improving the safety in our community. I totally support this ordinance.

We definitely need more law enforcement out there. However, I was doing some research on this item and we do need more patrolling to control the traffic, but I do have some suggestions that we ought to look into that will help law enforcement bring a lot of the accidents that are happening on the street. One of the major problems that we have is that we're we're very populated now. We have a high density. If you look at the research, clearly states that speed limits of 45 miles per hour with this type of density in many of our streets are major are the major cause of what's going on.

I'm asking they will reduce some of these speed in certain areas from 45 miles per hour down to 35 miles per hour, especially on the East Side. Some of the streets like Owens which are highly residential and Washington, there's no need for them to be at 45 miles per hour. We also wanna reduce the speeds over on Nellis. Lamb has come down to some 35 miles per hour zones But we need to reduce the speeds because people were driving at 45, they're gonna drive 48, 50. You can't, if you at 45 miles, you get hit at 45 miles per hour, your chances of survival are less than three percent.

Go look up the research on that. So we really have to start addressing that. We also have a high Latino population. I happen to be Latino. I don't listen. I don't watch much Latino stations, but we definitely need to do some Latino commercials to reduce speed and bring that up to the awareness. I'll speed up on the other stuff. There's some areas that are 25 miles per hour zone. The city of Las Vegas has speed bumps in some of these residential areas. I recommend that we start looking into that especially on Mt.

Hood between Lake Mead and it would be like Washington and Bonanza. The other thing that I found to be effective, we went to the, I should have brought my zero, the zero talk. There's a there's an ordinance that we're trying to come up with have zero fatalities. And what I'm showing that having a those speed sign those solar speeds those speed monitoring signs they do slow traffic down. I think we ought to have more at one hour at one mile intervals especially on Hollywood Boulevard.

I think that people do slow down they're gonna speed up slow down again and it's gonna bring it's gonna change people's driving behaviors. These are the things that and I do support this ordinance. Thank you very much. Bye.

Thank you. Seeing nothing no one else, I will close the public hearing and accept a motion.

I move approval.

There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. That motion passes.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing and approve, adopt, and authorize the chair to sign an ordinance to amend Clark County Air Quality Regulation section 12.2 permit requirements for major sources and attainment areas, section 12.3 permit requirements for major sources and non attainment areas, and 12.4 authority to construct application and permit requirements for Part 70 sources to incorporate requirements associated with the serious nonattainment classification under the twenty fifteen ozone standards incorporate U. S. Environmental Protection Agency feedback and ensure consistency across other sections of Federal language amend Section 12.5, Part 70, Operating Permit requirements to add language for portable major source requirements ensure consistency across other sections of Federal language add new insignificant activities and make necessary editorial, administrative, and non substantive revisions throughout sections 12.3 to 12.5, and providing for other matters properly rated thereto and to authorize the control officer to compile and submit the approved ordinance and all related documentation including the technical support document to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection for US Environmental Protection Agency approval into the Nevada State Implementation Plan. Thank you. Good morning.

Good morning, commissioners. Marcy Henson, the director of the department of environment sustainability. In front of you today is proposed rule changes to our permitting requirements for major sources. So we did conduct a public workshop in January and also put these rules out for public comment. We did receive some excellent comments from business and industry. We've worked to address those and are presenting to you today our final rules for consideration. These are part of our ozone state implementation plan for serious non attainment and I can answer any questions that you have.

Thank you. Are there any questions? I'll open the public hearing. Anyone wishing to speak, come forward.

Welcome. Thank you again, Chairman and fellow leaders. My name is Eric King. Very excited that there's continuous attention paid to the air quality here. I mentioned in a poem just a little while ago, we've reduced the blowing sand here in the desert was twenty plus years ago.

We all that we're here know was much more prevalent. See that it continues to be fine tuned like attention paid to it is very exciting to me from a designer's standpoint here. This very complex thing we call Las Vegas and our community and our structures here. I'd be really thrilled to encourage any of our wonderful commissioners here to carry on a dialogue I'm seeking to participate more in regards to our urban heat island effect and ways to mitigate that and wind certainly blowing hot winds and the quality of air probably has been discussed in some fashion with that. So I just wanted to bring it to light that air quality certainly has improved.

I'm not trying to waste everybody's time but a lot of times things like air and air quality get taken for granted. So I'd be really thrilled to find out what has been effective with the leadership and all the outreach for engaging the public to understand better how we all can thrive longer, better and healthier because we're more aware of what it could be, our quality of life including quality of air. I thank you all for your time.

Thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak, please come forward at this time. Seeing no one, we'll close the public hearing.

Move for approval.

There is a motion for approval on item 57. Please cast your vote. Motion passes, thank you. Thank you.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing and approve, adopt and authorize the chair to sign an ordinance to amend title eight chapter 8.2 of the Clark County Code by adding a new section designated as eight point two zero point zero two zero point four one seven, water park to establish regulations pertaining to the licensing and operation of water parks, amending section eight point two zero point two seven six to exclude water parks from the business required to be open to the general public, amending section eight point two zero point zero two zero point three two five to include water parks and providing for other matters properly related thereto. Thank you, good morning.

Good morning Mr. Chair, members of the commission, Vince Keano, Director of Business License. I don't have a formal presentation but the proposed ordinance defines water parks. It also amends Clark County Code 8.20276 that adds water parks to the license categories that are allowed to serve alcohol while closed to the public. Thank you.

This is a public hearing. I'll open it at this time. Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward. And, I'll remind you, these are very narrowly tailored items, so please keep your comments directed right at them.

Okay. Well I did some research on this. My name is Al Rojas, we're involved with Neighborhood Watch. Now I have no idea why you guys wanna include alcohol on these water water water parks which include the splash guards. When we're having homeless people as part of our neighborhood watch, we're getting complaints of homeless people going out there and taking showers

Your and washing comments are being directed at public facilities. This is not related to that.

No. But you're saying that you guys wanna make it so that you can do alcohol at water at water parks.

We're not able to deliberate with you at this time. I'm just telling you this

is I'm not against it. That's all I'm

saying. Understood.

I'm just saying that I'm totally against that for the following for those reasons. We're gonna be having homeless people drinking alcohol on on your parks. Is that okay? Go ahead.

Don't believe you have a full understanding of what's before us. If you have a seat, it could be explained to you.

Okay, thank you very much.

Anyone else wishing to speak at this time, please come forward. Seeing no one, I'm gonna close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Jones.

Thank you Mr. Chair. Just to clarify, alcohol is already permissible in water parks. Water parks are very narrowly defined, and in this case, Caliburnia Canyon. This is only allowing them to shut down the entire facility in order to have private events. That is all that this ordinance does. With that, I'll move for approval.

Thank you. There's a motion for approval on item 58. Please cast your vote. The motion passes.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing approve, adopt, and authorize the chair to sign an ordinance to amend title 13 chapter four of the Clark County Code by adding section thirteen point zero four point two seven five related to the design, operation, maintenance, and commissioning of single lane tunnel systems designated chapter 42 of the International Fire Code and provided for other matters properly related thereto.

Thank you. Good morning, Chief Samuels.

Good morning, Commissioners, Billy Samuels. Just to give a little bit of clarification on the ordinance and why we got to where we're at today. It's a unique transportation system. Single lane tunnels using standard highway passenger vehicles to move people. There is no current NFPA, National Fire Protection Association standard, that captures all of the elements of this system. It's a challenging framework for life safety requirements, a consistent design and installation operation. But what chapter 42 is going to do is provide definitions specific to single lane tunnels. It provides details on allowable vehicles within the system. It includes information regarding emergency egress and signage. It contains requirements for fire alarms, fire suppression systems, and emergency ventilation.

It also outlines expectations for communication systems, including emergency responder systems. It includes requirements for safety during the construction of tunnels and other underground spaces. And at the end it incorporates provisions for specialized fire department response vehicles to be used within the system. I'm happy to answer any questions, any concerns. We'll go from there.

Thank you, Chief. At this time, I will open the public hearing on item 59. Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward at this time.

Thank you again, chairman. My name is Eric King. On behalf of firefighters here and near and everywhere,

I'd like to say please use a very wonderful burnishing stone

behalf to polish up all these safety concerns for not only people in the tunnels driving but also for the heroes that will go in if there's anything wrong with that. Sure I'm you're all doing a great job of that already and it's very exciting people like Mr. Musk and The Boring Company to be augmenting our city in some truly futuristic ways and it is very thrilling to see Clark County in such support of such endeavors. Thank you all and for all the heroes among us, Chief Samuels included, thank you for your service.

Thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak, please come forward at this time. Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing on item 59.

Commissioner Kirkpatrick. Sorry. I'm sorry. I saved up. The last couple weeks, I've been quiet. So Chief Samuels, I want to just turn to page five of the ordinance, page five, section forty two point zero four point two. And I just want to make sure that it's very clear. I see your backups are coming behind you, so sorry. I just wanna put some things on the record because I don't like messy, I'm over messy, and I wanna be clear that everybody knows where we're headed going forward. So the means of egress.

There has been much discussion about this particular portion of the ordinance prior to any building department conversation. So I just want you to put on the record that what I'm reading is that yes, egress, and you will have to follow chapter 10 of the building codes so that there's no mistake.

Yes, correct. Yes ma'am. This ordinance does not trump building code when it comes to chapter 10 and those things. Those things have to comply first and this ordinance will supplement that.

And they do go hand in hand. Okay, so then I want you to talk to me about it's in here more than one place, but here's the closest place I found it, so the communication systems, right? So when you talk about areas of refuge, cross passages, so my understanding, and I think I've been pretty clear on what this means when we go back to the depth of the length of the tunnel, that there's a comfort level. I remember it's like fifteen, fifteen, and fifteen, fifteen minutes to get out, fifteen minutes to save someone, and then fifteen minutes to get there, right? Is that like a national thing?

So I want to make sure when we talk about these Aries of refuge in cross passages what the expectation is, because my expectation I'm going tell you what mine is, and I want you to correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm okay if I'm wrong, but these are mitigation essentials ways in case we can't there's reasons, right? Maybe we couldn't do every 1,500 feet or whatever, if we couldn't meet the depth, there's always a workaround. But number one is public safety. So am I reading this right? Because I don't want it to become the norm where there's areas of refuge every 1,500 feet, because that is not what I think we're trying to get to.

So please make sure I got it clear because I'm a stickler for words.

Yes ma'am, the areas of refuge and cross passages, they do comply with NFPA standards. You have to have a fire rating door at a certain amount. The communications side, there has to be communications within those areas of refuge and those cross passages. I think that's what you're talking about. We do have a distance associated when it comes to greater than twelve fifty feet on where they will be actually established. And we have solidified where that's actually going to occur, they're compliant with for this ordinance.

So there would never be an instance where, and I believe we have done this in the past in the county, and I don't necessarily agree with it, but there would never be an instance where somebody would only have areas of refuge in the system.

You still have to have anything greater than 2,500 feet, you have to have a compliant exit to the surface. So within that system, there will be areas of refuge, there will be cross passages because there's going be some locations where it's just impossible to build. But with that, within that 2,500 linear feet, you will have an exit to the surface that's compliant with Chapter 10 and with this ordinance.

And that is important because the ADA requirements and everything else, right? So if we have to have people, right, we have to plan for worst case scenarios. So if we have to plan, then there's a way for people to get to some safety until we can make the full rescue. Is that the intent behind it?

Yes, ma'am, that's the intent.

Okay. And then so my last one is on section forty two eleven of the fire department response vehicles. I've been living this for many years, so I want now you to tell me what the expectation is because I've heard blame being pointed everywhere. And as far as I'm concerned, I don't care whose fault it is. I want it fixed. So what is the expectation? Because one, we brought this up in the beginning. This is so, like, crazy for me because we brought this up in the beginning. Someone will drive down at the wrong way. Oh, it never happened.

It sure as heck did happen right away. What happens if there's a a bite down there because people are waiting and something happens? Oh, sure as heck did happen. Right? So I thought and the tunnels are specifically a size that doesn't fit your typical fire response down there, and we are first to get there. So I thought two years ago, we were supposed to have a fire response vehicle that could go down there. And my understanding is it's not quite finished yet, and they're waiting on us. So where are we on this, and what is the expected date, and when can I make sure that it's there?

That is the onus is on the fire department right now. We do have that on our hands. We owe The Boring Company a spec vehicle feedback on that. So that is currently on us.

But is it a vehicle that can meet a grade that can transport people out?

Yes ma'am. The current vehicles that we have, they're side by side carts. They're just inadequate for the performance. The vehicles that we are specking out would meet those needs. It has the power we need. One thing that we talked about a couple of years ago was that bidirectional component. When you look at it now, when you look at trying to load up a patient into a bidirectional vehicle, doesn't just make sense. But we have been working with FLIR and the infrared systems that we have going forward so we can back into the operation and then to remove people successfully. So again the specs, the onus is on the Clark County Fire Department to provide that to TBC.

So I'm just seeing this section in my mind is broad. And so can I call you at seven a? M. And say, hey, what's going on? So what is it that we want, what is it that we get, and when is the time frame to get it?

Appreciate you letting me

say something.

Who, what, where, when, why, how. That's what I want to know.

That's on me right now, Commissioner. I will get those out. I'll try to get it by close of business this week. And I'll get it over to TBC and then you guys will have eyes on it as well. I think we're fairly confident with what we have been working on. Way more than we have in the past. So I think we can get this across the finish line. And it is broad, and I think purposely when you look at five years, ten years down the road, things are going to change. And so this doesn't give us that latitude to actually make those changes necessary.

No, and I'm not here to call you out. I'm just saying that I want to resolve the issue on all sides because, and I, in the past, many times I like broad because it allows us to negotiate. But on this particular project, I'm no longer a fan of broad because everybody has a different interpretation, and I want to make sure it's very clear. So as long as I can call you in a week and the other side has whatever they need, or you tell me where we are in the process, I like time frames, I'm good with that. And I do understand that we may have to adjust depending on where we may allow these tunnels later, because what works today at the West Gate may not work the Tropicana, right?

So I understand the broad, but I at least want some type of, in my mind, this should say something to the fact that, and Lisa, I'm not trying to change it, but I just wanna tell you what I I think it should it should say, that upon building permits submittal before the permit is issued, that there should be those mitigation efforts, including what type of fire response before it's actually issued. Right? I do that with solar on purpose because before we get too far into it, I wanna know, right? So that way, incident? What if there's this?

So I just, that's my expectation in case anybody's wondering that when you go get your building permit, that should already be dialed in. So I just want you to know what my expectation, that's how I'm gonna interpret it with you, Lisa, forever. So as long as everybody's okay with that. That's all I have.

Commissioner Gibson?

I guess I'm okay with that. I'm trying to figure no. The the reality is that you and your leadership team have worked, countless hours, hundreds, thousands of hours in an effort to try and come to a place where there's a meeting of the minds, and the same is true for The Boring Company. They have, committed resources in an effort to get there. And there probably have been times when I would have said they're never gonna get there.

This is the culmination of all of that work, and I appreciate the work that the manager and Lisa have, added to all of that effort so that we can now codify what's expected of us, what's expected of your department, and what's expected of the permittee. These permits are many in number, and there's a whole lot of work that has yet to be done, but we have agreed in principle as to the location of stations at Harry Reid International Airport, which is a monumental thing. We are now we've been working at UNLV on easements and defining the route from UNLV. There will be a station there as I understand it. The work now is ready to just blow up, just explode.

I don't mean blow up in terms of dead, it's dead, but rather to explode in the sense that we're ready to really move forward. And the adoption of this ordinance helps us get to that place. So I think that the ordinance I get the the broadness issue, on the point that was made by my colleague. I think that under the circumstances, because we don't yet have it defined, the only way you could narrow it enough to be meaningful is if you could actually put the specs in. So I think as long as we're all committed to, bringing the, definition of that vehicle and specs related to that vehicle to a place where it really works in terms of the public safety response, and we're relying upon you and your team to provide that to us.

I think this is good enough. It'd be really nice if we could specify a vehicle, but I think your point is well taken. And I think that between building and fire and our legal representatives, I think we all understand where we're going. So if there isn't anything more, mister chair, I move the adoption of the, ordinance.

Thank you. There's a motion. Please cast your vote. That motion passes. Thank you, chief. Thank you. Thank you.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing on the county's US Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD, FY twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven action plan for housing and community development, approve and authorize the community housing administrator or her designee to submit the FY two thousand twenty six twenty seven annual action plan to HUD, approve and authorize the county manager or his designee to sign any necessary documents related thereto.

Thank you. Good morning.

Good morning. Commissioners, Dagny Stapleton, community housing administrator. Excuse me. This item authorizes the submission of our 2627 HUD annual action plan which details how we will spend our HUD entitlement funds including home CDBG and ESG. This item also serves as the second public hearing on how we will spend those funds.

Thank you very much. At this time, I will open the public hearing. Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward at this time. Seeing no one. And again, please tailor your comments very narrowly to the item before us.

I would just again, Eric King, thank you. Very briefly, I'd just like to make a plug please for further consideration all concerned with senior housing and veteran housing.

Thank you. That's what we're doing here. Thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak, please come forward. Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing.

Seeing no one, I'll move for approval.

There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. That motion passes.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing and approve, adopt and authorize the chair to sign a resolution approving the issuance solely for the purposes of Section 147 Subsection F of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended by the Colorado Health Facilities Authority and one or more series of tax exempt five zero one(three) revenue bonds in Intermountain Health in amount not to exceed $864,000,000 with respect to the health care facilities located in Clark County, Nevada, in order to finance, refinance or reimburse the cost of acquiring, constructing, renovating and equipping certain healthcare facilities, provide for one or more debt service reserve funds for the benefit of all or a portion of the bonds, pay a portion of the interest to accrue on the bonds, and pay certain working capital expenditures and pay certain costs of issuance of the bonds.

Thank you very much. I believe for the record, McKay Owens, somebody is here representing Intermountain. You wanna come forward and just state your name for the record and if there is anything you'd like to add, do it at this time.

Yes, absolutely. My name is McKay Owens. I'm the vice president of debt and capital markets for Intermountain Health. Good morning commissioners. I just wanted to first say thank you for addressing this request today.

Intermountain is very excited to be partnering with the community and to be expanding access to healthcare services within Southern Nevada. Just to provide a little more background on this request, Intermountain will be investing over the next several years well over a billion dollars to expand healthcare services in the community here. With a lot of that related to expanding access to coverage for children within our community. Related to this issue, there are two projects that the tax exempt bonds will help finance over the following years. One is a project recently completed the Budura Clinic.

This is nearly a $70,000,000 project as consolidated multiple clinics in Southwest Las Vegas about 92,000 square feet. And then the project which we've heard about a few times earlier today is the new children's hospital. That project alone is expected to cost over $1,000,000,000 and will consist of about 830,000 square feet, over 200 beds and will provide comprehensive services for children within the community, inpatient beds, emergency department, surgery, imaging and more. That project is located will be located on the UNLV Harry Reid Research And Technology Park. Intermountain Health is leasing approximately 33 acres from UNLV to be able to build the hospital on that location.

We hope to begin construction later this year and the hospital would open in 2030. Related to this item specifically Intermountain is a nonprofit organization. You all are very familiar with the TEFRA process. There's a couple items following this for charter schools. Intermountain is a nonprofit organization is subject to the same federal tax law requirements to hold a public hearing and allow the community the opportunity to provide any comments related to the projects to be funded with tax exempt bonds.

So I will just reiterate this is simply a logistical requirement that allows Intermountain to finance a portion of these projects over the next several years and to utilize tax exempt bond proceeds to help fund that project. Happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Thank you very much. This is a public hearing. At this time, I'll open up the public comment period. Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward.

And, Eric King, thank you all. It's very exciting to see such progress for the youth here in our valley and I'd just like to make a plug for the wellness community here that there may indeed be greater and greater support amongst leadership and informed people about how attention, dollars and resources go to making more aware our youth in this country of greatness that we all know are much heavier more often as they grow and less healthy than we were accustomed to many years ago. I'm sure that very well intentioned people here with Intermountain are going to add some great things And my hope is that there will be further conversations because people like me stand up for kids in the valley, our future, and say, wellness is on the way and integrative medicine is happening. And it would be wonderful to shine more light on all those beautiful pathways. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Anyone else wishing to speak, please come forward at this time. Hi.

I'm Anna Genshuk, Comptroller. I just wanted to put on the record, these are not obligations of the county, it's just IRS process.

Correct. Thank you for putting that on the record.

Good morning. Lindy Schumacher. Do you want my address?

That's okay.

11055 Sanctuary Cove, Las Vegas 89135. I was going to speak earlier, but I kinda needed to wait and see how this all went down. We are the largest contributors to Intermountain. We believe that this was the next step after building the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine, that the key to success was residencies and a strong children's hospital. When you look at our like minded communities like Arizona, when I ask people in Arizona what was the big thing that meant that you you progressed in medicine and why we didn't, and they said they started with the children's hospital.

They said you can't be serious about medicine if you don't take care of your children. So I wanted, on behalf of the anonymous donor who will never walk in this room, I get to say, and compliment all of you for what you've done today. You, prioritized the county over one entity. You prioritized students over adults. You prioritized the future that it does include a children's hospital, a stand alone children's hospital.

You were elected to do exactly as you have done, and you stepped up and asked those difficult questions. You said no. You said this is not good enough for this community. On behalf of, the largest donor in this community, I think that really says a lot, and we are watching and we are listening. You are on the right side of history on this day and I just wanted to thank you.

Thank you very much. Anyone else wishing to speak, please come forward at this time. If not, I will close the public hearing on item 61.

Mister chair, I move for approval.

Thank you. There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. That motion passes.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing and approve, adopt and authorize the chair to sign a resolution approving the issuance by the Public Financing Authority of Wisconsin in one or more series of tax exempt five zero one(three) revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 in order to, a, finance, including through reimbursement, the acquisition, improving, renovating, operating or equipping of a charter educational facility located at 8377 West Patrick Lane, Las Vegas, Nevada 89113 for use by Amplus Academy B, fund a debt service reserve fund for the bonds and C, pay capitalized interest with respect to the bonds and related working capital and pay certain cost of issuance of the bonds.

Thank you. I believe Rochelle Hewitt is here if there's anything you'd like to put on the record. Thanks for being here.

Yes. Oh, am I on?

You're on.

Okay. Good morning, Chair Nafton, commissioners and staff. Thank you for letting me be here with you today. I'm Rochelle Hewlett, the founder and CEO of Amplus Academy. First off, I wanted to just say how excited we are about the IHC hospital that's going in right across the street from our school.

We're really excited for our potential partnership with them and excited for their project to get underway. The school is pursuing tax exempt bond financing for its upcoming capital project, which is an expansion of the five acre parcel adjacent to our current Durango campus. This is a project that's been going on for quite some time. We purchased land back in 2017 and so we're excited that we are moving forward with this project. It is located in Clark County, and it has two we do have two previous tax exempt bond issues that are outstanding, so these bonds will just be issued as additional bonds similar to the previous ones that we've already received.

Thank you very much. At this time, I will open the public hearing. Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward. Miss Danchek, something for the record?

Just to clarify, these are not obligations of the Just for IRS purpose.

You very much. I'll close the public hearing.

Mister chair, I move approval.

There is a motion for approval. Please cast your vote.

Thank you.

That motion passes.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct public hearing and approve and adopt the authorized the chair to sign resolution approving the issuance by Public Finance Authority of Wisconsin in one or more series of tax exempt five zero one c three revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $35,000,000 in order to a, finance, refinance, and or reimburse the acquisition, construction improvement, equipping, and furnishing of a charter educational facility located at 818 West Brooks Avenue, North Las Vegas, Nevada 89030 for use by the Delta Academy b, fund a debt service reserve fund for the bonds and c, capitalized interest with respect to the bonds and relating work working capital, and d, pay certain costs of issuance of the bonds.

Thank you. Good morning. Are you here on behalf of Delta Academy? You just wanna

Kyle Knoll. I am superintendent of Delta Academy.

Very good.

I'm Jessica Shaham, bond counsel from Kuta Krak for the Delta Academy financing.

Very good. Is there any anything that you'd like to add for the record?

Pretty much our

previous temporary expired.

Very good. Yep. We'll close the public hearing. Oh, I'm sorry. I'll open the public hearing. Miss Danczyk?

Oh, again just to clarify these are not obligations of the county.

Thank you very much. I will close the public hearing. Commissioner McCurdy? Yes, mister chairman of approval. There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. That motion passes. Thank Thank you.

Commissioners, your next item is to conduct a public hearing to approve, adopt, and authorize the chair to sign an ordinance amending title 22, chapter 22.16 of the Clark County Code by deleting chapter chapter 22.16 in its entirety and adopting a new chapter 22.16 entitled Amusement Right and People Mover Code to adopt and incorporate nationally recognized standards governing the design, manufacturing, operation, test, maintenance, inspection, quality assurance, and classification of injuries, update and modernize regulatory provisions, and establish enforcement provisions and penalties, and provide for other matters properly related thereto. Good morning.

Good morning commissioners. Jim Garron. I'm the director of the Clark County Building Department. This is a pretty straightforward ordinance. We're just replacing the old amusement and transportation system code that was adopted eighteen years ago in May 2008 with a new ride code and we're changing the title to avoid some confusion.

The new title is Amusement Ride and People Mover code. There were some people who were confusing what we applied the old amusement and transportation system code to. So I want to clarify for the people in the audience and people watching. This new version of the amusement ride and people mover code does not apply to the Las Vegas Loop or the Boring Company's efforts building the tunnels. I also want to clarify because we did receive after our introduction last board meeting, we received a call from Virginia Ballantyne who put us in contact with one of her members.

We immediately met with that member of the Nevada Resort Association, Barris Kaiser, addressed some of his concerns. So to clarify, this ordinance does not apply to any or does not have any retroactive requirements that would affect any of the existing rides. They're able to stay in operation under their original approvals. We have all the records of those original approvals. So anything in the new code would just be from this point moving forward on new rides. I would like to take a moment to thank principal engineer Brian Linehan who's in the audience and his team including Tony Garcia, Agathil Alana and Sean Flores for developing this new version of the amusement ride and people mover code. And with that I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you, Director Garen. At this time, I'll open the public hearing. Anyone wishing to speak, please come forward at this time. Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing. Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

Thank you. Mr. Garen, so you told me everybody it doesn't apply to. Who actually does it apply to for the general public? So is this the carnival rides at the, you know, in the parking lots that we see or who exactly is this gonna apply to?

Okay, definitely does not apply to those. The state handles all of those temporary traveling carnivals. This applies to the permanent rides like the roller coaster at New York, the Vegas high roller Ferris wheel, the monorail between Mandalay Bay Excalibur, the actual Las Vegas monorail, things like that. Any rides or amusement things that are permanent in nature, more than six months, we permit through the amusement ride and people move our code. We don't, we handle the Boring Company's Las Vegas loop through the normal building permit process, not the ride process.

Okay, no, I just wanted to be clear so it wasn't confusing.

Thank you, there's a motion by Commissioner Gibson for approval. Please cast your vote. That motion passes.

Commissioner, your final public hearing is to conduct a public hearing to approve, adopt, or deny a special event preliminary approval application from She's Got Game LLC to hold a special event on 07/16/2026 at 3780 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 and providing for other matters properly related thereto.

Good morning, director Kiano.

Good morning, mister chair, members of the commission. Vince Kiano with the office of sports and special events. The proposed special events is a celebration of female Olympians that would feature a parade on Las Vegas Boulevard ending at Toshiba Plaza. At this moment, we do have a presentation from the applicant, She Got Game LLC. I believe we have Rhiannon Ellis and we have Flavor Flav himself. Thank you.

Good morning.

Hi. Good morning, everyone. I'm Rhianna Nellis. I manage Flavor Flav. I'm the catalyst behind his support of women's sports.

And, I'm helping to oversee everything for the She Weekend. What started off as just an innocent tweet to support and celebrate female athletes has really turned into a movement. Flav, you know, is a long time Vegas resident. There is no other or better place that he would want to celebrate these athletes than Las Vegas. You know, these Olympians really represent the best of us in the country and they should have a celebration that you know recognizes that.

We do understand the social responsibility we have with this weekend and sort of the opportunity to make a social impact and change. So we introduced She Weekend representing sports, hospitality, and entertainment in partnership with MGM Resorts. The weekend would go from July 16 to the nineteenth, and we're asking you to consider for Thursday, July 16 that we wanna start the weekend with a free public parade and concert in Toshiba Plaza. You know, took some, you know, very positive feedback to involve the community more in the parade elements to as both a participation and to help build out the parade. So we have tasked, you know, members of our, you know, team to oversee more community involvement.

And we're working with some of the the local youth teams and some of the summer camps to help build that out. I'll let Flav give a little bit of his thoughts.

I just I just I just wanna say, you know, thank you, you know, for giving me the opportunity and I'm honored, you know what I'm saying, to be able to, you know, bring these United States Olympic athletes here to Las Vegas. You know, you know, I am a girl dad, and I do I am a big supporter of women's sports.

Interrupt you. My colleagues are reminding me that we need your name for the record.

We need your name for the record.

Oh. Oh. Oh. I'm sorry. My name is Flavor Flav William Drayton a k a Flavor Flav. I'm sorry, guys.

Thank you. We're strict around here.

But but yeah. But but I just wanted to just, you know, really thank, you know you know, the board of Clark County. You know what I'm saying? And the people of the state of Nevada for seeing my vision of doing something real good and great for these female athletes, you know, that one goal this year. And, you know, I decided to bring them all here to fabulous Las Vegas.

Why? Because there's no better city for me to have these girls celebrate their winnings than Las Vegas. And plus, when a lot of people come to Vegas, they think of Flav. So everybody says I should run for mayor. I might be your next mayor. I don't know. But I'm just joking. Just joking. Anyway, but thank you guys though for for seeing my vision and and allowing us to really, you know, do something great for the city of Las Vegas by bringing these athletes here to Las Vegas. And I'm quite sure the athletes are definitely gonna appreciate it more. So just thank you guys for seeing my vision.

Thank you. Anything else? At this time, I will open the public hearing. Anyone wishing to speak, come forward. If our applicants, if you'd wanna step to the side for a moment.

Please state your name for the record.

My name is Eric King, huge fan of this man over here and apparently now the lady who's taking good care of him and our athletes. Huge fan of all sports and that Las Vegas has met my wishes for the past twenty plus years now of being a true sports town. Very excited about that and to have such great fans of sports to help us along. Awesome. Also, I'd like to say in terms of youth, I would like to make a plug for the volleyball teams that are here in town which don't get as much love from sponsors we know as as many other sports.

Love basketball, was a religion of mine growing up, my favorite probably, and certainly enjoyed many great times with great people. And, I know our youth, as I described, being heavier more often than they used to be, could benefit a lot from that. Not only have I played countless games of basketball and volleyball with joyous people of all ages, including 80 years old, But, seeing eight year olds and under and so forth thrive in that milieu of hero worship, which I am guilty of for many sports athletes as well as their community leaders who support all of that. Speaks volumes to what becomes in the mind of a child possible. Not only for their health and well-being and longevity, but for the greatness of America, Las Vegas certainly, and our community in general.

So thank you all for taking having me take a little bit of time, and I look forward to hopefully knowing this kind man and this nice lady better along with other great heroes I already worship in town. And some of you are sitting facing me right now. So thank you all and I look forward to great things coming from this synergy and more things to happen like it for all of our youth. Thank you.

Thank you. Next speaker.

Yeah. My name is Al Rojas. I'm a resident here of Clark County. Definitely Las Vegas is moving towards a sports town and we definitely wanna encourage athletes coming here. I also would like to say that for young kids I hope that we get some of our elementary schools, middle schools to come down and meet some of these athletes. Young kids especially in inner cities need a vision. I grew up in an inner city. I'm an electronics engineer. Since I was a kid I went to a lot of these high-tech companies and I had a vision. It kept me off the streets.

It kept me out of trouble. And I had a long term vision as a young kid. We needed to start moving in that direction to lower crime in our community. So I totally support this program and it's kinda really strange because I am gonna be making a testimony that in 2036 it looks like Las Vegas is gonna be hosting the Olympics. And it's I don't know how this happened but I will be testifying that during public comment. Thank you.

Thank you. Anyone else wishing to speak, please come forward. Seeing none, I'll turn it to Commissioner Gibson.

Thank you, mister chair. I think all of us understand the need to recognize every, one of our athletes, and that appears to be something that got missed in the translation. So I I move approval of the event. I also think it's important to note that last week, we announced that the women's, the professional, women's hockey league, has been expanded to include a Las Vegas and a Canadian team. They're five of each country.

And it'll be, an opportunity for us to open the door for our friends in Canada to come and watch their hockey teams play our hockey team. This is an exciting event. If you think about all the things that we've done in sports, in the recent years, obviously, is another opportunity to further establish ourselves as the sports and entertainment leader of the world. And so with that, sir, I ask that we I I move approval of the item.

Thank you. There's a motion for approval. Please cast, before we do that, commissioner Segerblom.

Just want to remind Flav that the city of Las Vegas is great, but you're in Clark County at this parade.

Clark County. Hey. Well, thank you, Clark County. Hey. This is the I'm a tell you something. I don't care what nobody say, but I live in the best city. I don't care what nobody say. Las Vegas is my city. This is the best city. Thank you all for giving me this opportunity for these girls.

And, I mean, this is gonna be real big. It's gonna be an historical event, and this is gonna be an event that people around the world will never, never, never, ever forget. And I just wanna thank y'all for allowing me to have the opportunity to be able to do this right here in Las Vegas. And also, thank you all for giving the girls the key to the city. The Yes.

Commissioners, we can now move to your introduction of Aye.

God bless.

Commissioners, we can now move to your introduction of ordinances. Item 66 is an ordinance to create a new Clark County Air Quality Regulation section one zero eight BOC emissions control for paper film, foil, fabric, or vinyl coating operations to regulate sources that may cause or contribute to volatile organic compound emissions within the twenty fifteen ozone nonattainment boundary by implementing emission standards, work practices, permitting or registration requirements, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements and providing for other matters properly related thereto instead of public hearing.

Thank you, manager Schiller. I will introduce the ordinance and set the public hearing for Tuesday, 06/02/2026 at 10AM.

Commissioner, your next item is on the ordinance to create a new Clark County Air Quality Regulation section one two two reasonably Available Control Technology for Major Sources and H. A. Two twelve to codify the Reasonably Available Control Technology determinations for certain major stationary sources that may cause or contribute to emissions of nitrogen oxides or volatile organic compounds within the ozone boundary. Repeal section 121 reasonably available control technology determinations for specific major stationary sources in the twenty fifteen eight hour ozone NAAQS moderate non attainment area, HA212, and providing for other matters properly thereto and set a public hearing.

I'll introduce the ordinance and set the public hearing for Tuesday, 06/02/2026 at 10AM.

Mister, your next items and ordinance amending title 20 of the Clark County code chapter 20.1, section twenty point one zero point zero one zero to amend rentals, fees, and charges, Harry Reid International Airport, and provide for other matters properly related thereto and set a public hearing or take other action as appropriate.

I'll introduce the ordinance and set the public hearing for Tuesday, 06/02/2026 at 10AM.

Can I move to your business section of your agenda? Commissioners, your next items identify emerging issues to be addressed by staff or by the board at future meetings, receive updates on the activities of various regional boards and commissions, and direct staff accordingly.

Commissioner Segerbloom.

I get priority today. So earlier today on item 37, we, changed the name of Chavez Park to Mariachi Park. And I just wanted to point out that that's a very positive thing. And this Saturday at 9AM at the park, we're gonna celebrate with a lot of Mariachi bands and food and everything. So thank you, fellow commissioners.

Thank you, Commissioner Kirkpatrick.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, I wanted to get the board's appetite. So, Commissioner Segerbloom, this year you did the HEAT Summit last year. I've been doing it with the health district.

And I'd be interested in because it's a talking point, right? That everybody is going in different directions. So I like the opiate task force. We were able, when we set up that board, well, quite frankly, we were mandated by the state to set up that board, but when we did it, we got a lot of good information out. And I'm nervous that the legislature might do the same thing again on heat mitigation because everybody's got their own opinions, but at the end of the day, there are zip codes that we gotta work inward and work out, but maybe we gotta change some policies.

So I would like to know if the board would be interested in establishing a task force. We already have all these regional agencies working together, but they're all doing their own thing, which I don't like silos, and I do think we can move more mountains. A great example is the tree giveaway. We've been giving away trees for four years, right? And then people say, not enough trees.

Okay, we're trying to do it in the areas where it is really hot pockets. We had looked at, once upon a time, cool paving like they do in Arizona, and I think that if maybe you brought all these agencies together, which they all have a small task of what they're supposed to be doing, right? The health district's involved because it's in the statute. RTC's involved because it's part of making sure when people get buses, Clark County Social Services involved because we do all of the cooling stations, right? So maybe if we brought them all together, we could have a regional staff level conversation and accomplish more than what what we're doing today.

Is that a nice way to say that?

So if I could just follow-up and and second that. That's fantastic idea, and I anything we can do to help you, please.

Anyone else for emerging issues? Thank you.

The next item, commissioners, is to approve the Clark County Parks and Recreation Director's reappointment of Mary Sabo to the art committee for her second and final three year term ending 05/17/2029.

Good morning.

Good morning, mister chair, commissioners. Patrick Amamino, director of Parks Recreation. The item before you today is approval of the reappointment of Mary Sabo to her final three year term on the public art committee. Miss Sabo is a visual artist, project manager, and arts administrator, graduate from UNLV with a bachelor in fine arts and sculptural concentration. But she also serves as the senior visual art specialist for the city of Las Vegas Cultural Affairs. So her background in project management and visual art, but also in a public setting, is certainly an asset that we look for on our public art committee. So, we seek your approval this morning, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Mister chair, I move to the reappointment of Mary Sabo. Thank you. There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote.

That motion passes. Thank you.

Commissioners, your next item is to accept and approve the business impact statement pursuant to NRS 237.09 for the proposed ordinance amending Title 20 of the Clark County Code Chapter 20.1, Section 20.10.10 to amend rentals, fees and charges Harry Reid International Airport and provide for other matters properly related thereto or take other action as appropriate. Good morning.

Good morning commissioners. Joe Burkowski, airport chief financial officer. The item before you here is for our annual budget. We met with the airlines on April 22 and presented our budget and we got unanimous approval from them on May 1. So with that we are recommending that the board determine that the ordinance described here does not impose a significant burden to the airlines.
