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,…”

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.

“Yes, Madam Mayor. Thank you, gentlemen, for investing in the city, coming down to the Arts District. Your establishment will be a dangerous proposition for my waistline moving forward once you move in, especially that baklava soft serve. Oh, my gosh, I have a sweet tooth, but thank you so much. And with that, I move to approve Agenda Item 48. Thank you so much.”

“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…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I just wanted to comment that behind every great leader is a great support system. And so I know that your wife and your children enable you to come to work focused, ready to do the job. You don't have an easy role with the city having been in the acting role as public works. I know that. You're drinking from more than just a fire hose because there's constant demands in the space and there's always things that are going awry. But I do really appreciate your thoroughness and your prompt responsiveness to when we're getting those SOSs from our constituents and our…”

So I just want to make it very clear that we try to keep a very professional, open, two-way communication, line of communication. I just wanted to state that this council tries very hard to do the right thing by our residents and the people that we jointly represent. And we welcome conversations and we welcome…”

“So I just feel like at this point, if I don't bless it, then I have this half-built shell that then breeds no positive effect to the community. So do I want a half-built dilapidated structure? Do I want something that's gonna be, at least open and hopefully of some assistance. I know Councilman Knutson may swing by there once or twice. I don't know. He likes, no, he's like, I go to the bars. Okay. Do I hear a motion? But so with that, I do want to request a review. I want to make sure that they live up to what they are articulating, that they will make sure that there is no loitering, that…”
