THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. GOOD MORNING. I am proud to recognize Yamil Landrian, the Behavioral Health Specialist for the City of Las Vegas Department of Public Safety as our Award for Citizen of the Month. Yamil is doing important work to make sure our men and women within the Department of Public Service have the support they need, not just on the job, but in their lives outside of work. To tell us more about why Yamil is a rock star and the impact she's having here at the city, I'd like to invite Chief Potts to say a few words. Chief.

Thank you, Madam Mayor. Good morning, everyone. It's always a great morning when we see so many community members turn out for our ceremonials. And this morning, I have the true honor to recognize three proud partners of the city and Ward 3 and our community. And I chose these honorees In recognition that we're in the period of Hispanic Heritage Month, and if you're Latino or Latina, then you know that we like to dance, we like to listen to music. The radio is still very relevant in our day-to-day life, and so is television. And so for this reason, I would like to call up the three honorees, w

18:10 – 19:36•Olivia Diaz

All right, I'm going to start with La Campesina. So we'll have you right here.

And we have some flowers too, but we'll carry those after. for everyone, we give flowers while we're still here with each other. My second honoree is Fiesta 98.1, founded by Rafael Serros Jr. and Rogelio El Torito Regalado at the very start of the pandemic. Over the last six years, okay, yeah, everybody's like, whoa, I remember those times, the pandemic. Over the last six years, these gentlemen along with their team have grown their successful radio station from zero listeners and being in the red to how many listeners? 100,000 weekly. Woo, that's great. Ever since they hit their airways, they

23:17 – 25:10•Olivia Diaz

So thank you, Rafael, Rogelio, and to the amazing Fiesta family for your labor of love. And last but not least, We have the last honoree for this morning and who hasn't heard of Telemundo?

1:18:46 – 1:19:25•Brian Knudsen

Thank you, Madam Mayor. I just appreciate Ms. Babsky, everything you've done to bring this to fruition. And President Heavey, thanks for being persistent and making sure this comes to light because I think it's part of our city's responsibility to work with you to make sure that we can deal with some of the intractable problems that our community struggles with. And I don't think we can do it alone. We have to have partnerships that were discussed earlier, but critical to those partnerships is the university. I'm just very appreciative, and I do have to disclose that I teach in your public adm

1:19:38 – 1:20:07•Francis Allen-Palenske

Councilwoman Allen-Polinski. Thank you, Madam Mayor. I'll be brief. I just got to point out my very old friend, Dr. Constance Brooks, who along the way has made several calls guiding me the entire time through this conversation. She's done a great job as your GA advocate in informing us and keeping us apprised of the changes that are going on. And I'm just so proud as a Las Vegan that you guys will call Las Vegas or downtown Las Vegas home with us. Thank you.

1:20:09•Shelley Berkley

No action is required on item 44, but is there a motion for item 49, Mayor Pro Tem?

1:20:17 – 1:21:07•Olivia Diaz

Yes, Madam Mayor, before I make the motion, I just want to thank UNLV for seeing the vision of what can happen on behalf of our community, being closer, having a stronger presence in the downtown is game changing for so much and so many of our community members. I can't wait to hopefully figure out how we can put a UNLV sign down here. I feel that our youth need to see the presence of higher ed closer to them and for them to see themselves there as sometimes first generation students. I know I was a first generation student and so, and I wasn't president of UNLV, but I'm a proud alum. So I can

1:21:08•Shelley Berkley

Please post. Motion carries. Thank you so much.

1:21:18 – 1:29:06•Shelley Berkley

And we'll see you at homecoming. Yes, thank you. It is now 1020. We are going to take a very brief five-minute recess and convene back here at 1025. City Council meeting in 30 seconds. I'm going to reconvene the city council meeting. We will now hear items 45 and 46 together, but act on them separately. Agenda item 45, abeyance item. This is a public hearing and discussion for possible action regarding the termination or extension of the interlocal agreement between the City of Las Vegas and County of Clark for establishing a joint position on corporate boundaries, planning, and public facilit

1:50:32 – 1:50:48•Shelley Berkley

Thank you so much. Since this is a public hearing, I'd like to ask if anybody that is here today would like to come and address this issue. And everyone, please state your name for the record. and you will have two minutes to speak.

1:52:58•Shelley Berkley

Thank you very much. Is there anybody else wishing to speak to the city council? Please state your name, and you have two minutes.

1:55:26 – 1:55:54•Shelley Berkley

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

1:57:42•Shelley Berkley

Thank you so much. Is there anybody else wishing to speak? Please state your name, and you have two minutes.

1:58:43 – 1:58:59•Shelley Berkley

Thank you so much. Is there anybody else wishing to speak for this agenda item? Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing for item 45. Are there any questions or comments from the council?

2:03:55 – 2:06:31•Olivia Diaz

Ms. Diaz. Thank you, Madam Mayor. I just want to let the public know that we are in conversations and dialogue with our county counterparts, the mayor, myself and Councilman Polanski were in a meeting with three of the county commissioners trying to, again, work out our differences and basically articulate why we think that there needs to be new things on our mutual agendas moving forward into the future because The Northwest is not what it was when this Northwest interlocal was established. So we need to continue to talk through what does the future hold and what do we need to account for and

2:06:32 – 2:07:14•Shelley Berkley

Thank you so much. Ms. Polenski, before you speak, I'd like to ask the city attorney a couple of questions, if that's all right. I understand a couple of things. This agreement, which is about 20 years old, long before any of us were sitting on the city council, has... of the city and the county. So I'd like to just have you definitively reiterate what Ms. Diaz just said. This has nothing to do with the city's interest in annexing any property.

2:07:32 – 2:08:41•Shelley Berkley

Okay, and I understand as everyone, and first let me say this, I love the county and the county commissioners, they've been friends of mine for, I can't even say years, more like decades. We're the same family with two branches and we have an issue that we are working on and will continue to work on until we have resolution because this interlocal agreement is necessary for both the city and the county. So I just want to make sure everybody understands that this is a slight disagreement among family members to get to a place where hopefully everybody's going to be happy and accommodated for th

2:09:29•Shelley Berkley

with no ability to change it in any way.

2:11:14•Shelley Berkley

I understand that the city received a notification from the county last night. And can you share that with us?

2:12:24 – 2:12:57•Shelley Berkley

Thank you so much. And Chief Gray, let me understand this, although I think you made it loud and clear. If we don't terminate this agreement, it continues for the next five years exactly the way it is. So we would have no opportunity to negotiate with the county regarding being reimbursed for the fire calls that we answer?

2:13:02•Shelley Berkley

All right. We have no intentions of not providing fire service when you get a call, is that correct?

2:13:30 – 2:13:44•Shelley Berkley

And let me ask you one further question. So when a call comes in, why is it if these are county islands, is the county not answering the call? Why is the city answering the call?

2:14:57•Shelley Berkley

I appreciate you clarifying that for me. And now, oh, yes, Ms. Somers-Omstrong.

2:15:03 – 2:15:25•Shondra Summers-Armstrong

Madam Mayor, if I might, could you also clarify those stations that are built north of Sahara. Are those being financed, shared financing with the county since we are doing a shared work, or is that all coming from our own local resources within the city of Las Vegas?

2:15:43 – 2:16:34•Francis Allen-Palenske

Thank you, Madam Mayor. Just a comment, not a question. The honest truth is that we look at things through different lenses. Our lenses are smaller. The county's lenses are larger. But I believe it's most important to recognize and acknowledge that we, the collective we, them and us, are all trying to do what's best for the people that we serve. We don't have to agree on everything to work together. I'm committed to negotiating in good faith, finding common ground, and keeping the door open for a productive partnership with the city and our county partners, our citizens, deserve all of that fr

2:16:36 – 2:16:47•Shelley Berkley

Any other comments from city council members? Yes, I am going to need a motion for item 45.

2:16:59 – 2:17:10•Shelley Berkley

Thank you so much and that is a commitment we have made and decided and I'm sorry that I lapsed on that. I would like to have a motion for agenda item 46 if I may.

2:17:40•Shelley Berkley

And it's a 60-day extension? Is that what we're talking about?

2:17:55 – 2:18:14•Shelley Berkley

And it is our hope and intention that we will have earnestly sat down with the county, our partners in this interlocal agreement to hash out any differences that we may have within the next 60 days. That is the reason for the extension.

2:18:19•Shelley Berkley

Thank you. All right. Ms. Filinski, would you like to make the motion on item 46?

2:18:25•Francis Allen-Palenske

I'd like to move forward with item number 46 as per Mr. Dorcak's extensive reading.

2:18:35 – 2:19:31•Shelley Berkley

All right. Please vote. Thank you very much. Post? Motion carries. Thank you, now we will vote on agenda item 45. We just did 46, we're now doing 45 with the knowledge that the only reason we have to terminate this agreement is that there's no avenue for us to change the agreement if we do not terminate it. And when we do rewrite this agreement, perhaps we ought to address that issue as well. So we're not five years from now in the same bind that we're in now. Do I have a motion? Yes. Mr. Dorkat?

2:20:04•Francis Allen-Palenske

May I have a motion? Move to approve item number 45 as Mr. Dworkak read into the record.

2:20:11 – 2:22:14•Shelley Berkley

Mayor Pro Tem, may I have a motion to approve this consent agenda?

2:31:57 – 2:32:12•Shelley Berkley

Thank you. Is there anyone wishing to be heard on this item? Seeing none, no one, I will close the public hearings. Are there any questions or comments from the council? Ms. Summers-Armstrong.

2:32:12 – 2:32:51•Shondra Summers-Armstrong

Thank you, Madam Mayor. And thank you so much, Ms. Covedo-Diaz, for coming to my office and speaking with me on a couple of occasions. We're here because the addition was added before it was permitted. Correct. And so that's the challenge is adding that density on such a small lot. But you all have already invested. You've removed the storage unit that was at the front. And we've talked about landscaping. It's a narrow lot, so you've agreed to add additional tree. And I was told that you took the gate down in the back. Can you talk to me about that?

2:32:55 – 2:33:06•Shondra Summers-Armstrong

If I'd like to ask Mr. Lowenstein, is the rear gate, I think that's the slatted wooden gate, is that also one of the issues in this

2:33:14•Shondra Summers-Armstrong

Okay. Is there a reason why you want to take the rear gate down?

2:33:29•Shondra Summers-Armstrong

Okay. Again, if you add something like that, you also may need to get some approvals from planning.

2:33:41 – 2:34:52•Shondra Summers-Armstrong

Okay. I am inclined to support this. Thank you. But I have a condition, another, and that is that you submit your plans within 60 days for approval. That's fair. And that you make sure that you're getting these things done. And I ask you, please, No more additions without coming to staff first. No storage units. Can't have any storage units on the front of the property. Please don't add anything else to this lot. It's too small for anything additional. Take very good care of your trees. City of Las Vegas is giving away trees if you need one that's going to work. I don't know how that works for

2:35:30•Shondra Summers-Armstrong

Through direction, not as part of the agenda item?

2:35:36 – 2:36:13•Shondra Summers-Armstrong

But as direction. That's fair enough. Okay. As direction. Okay. If you agree to that, I'm ready to make a motion, Mayor, if that's okay. That's all right. I know things are live going on right now. My motion would be with the agreement for the plan as submitted with the additional tree and that if you are going to do anything with the gate, you will come through planning and the direction is that you submit your plans for approval within 60 days.

2:36:14 – 2:36:29•Shelley Berkley

before you make that motion, do you agree to those conditions? Yes, ma'am. All right, I'll entertain a motion. So moved. Please vote. Post. Motion carries. Very happy for you. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you.

2:36:34 – 2:37:32•Shelley Berkley

And I'll work on the pronunciation of your name, I promise. Okay, agenda item 67, 26-17. 0213-VAR1, abeyance item, variance, applicant Guadalupe Fausto. Am I close? Thank you. Owner Casas de Lupe LLC for possible action on a land use entitlement project request to allow an existing front yard wall fence that does not conform to Title 19.06 development standards for height and visibility on 0.13 acres at 3436 Venice Drive, R1 single family residential zone, Ward 5, Ms. Somers Armstrong, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

2:38:34•Shelley Berkley

Okay, thank you so much. May I have a staff report, please?

2:40:38 – 2:40:54•Shelley Berkley

Okay. Thank you very much. Is there anyone wishing to address the council on this agenda item? Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing. Are there any questions or comments from the council? Ms. Summers-Armstrong.
