“Yes, Mayor Pro Tem. Thank you, Madam Mayor. First and foremost, I do want to say to the community that has turned out on this item, thank you for your respectful comments. It's always difficult to sit in these chairs and have difficult decisions to make as council members. But I found refreshing that most of you said we're not opposed to the development. We just want to make sure that our neighborhoods are protected. And I feel like that is so positive So thank you so much. I do want to hear from Councilman Knutson about how quickly the first meetings will happen with the developers and the…”

“Appreciate it, Mayor. I'm going to try to make this quick because I got a dart out of here right after. So I want to highlight that on August 4th, we launched a nonprofit navigator program right here out of our Now Cafe, and it's a remarkable new initiative that the City of Las Vegas and United Way of Southern Nevada are partnering on to support Those nonprofits that are seeking to launch are in the early stages of establishing their services to our community. 20 participants signed up for this rigorous program that covers a range of important topics, from establishing a board to bookkeeping.…”

“Thank you so much. Mayor pro temp. Thank you, madam mayor. I just, you know, want to emphasize key points. Um, about how we're continuing to grow as a city and, um, as stated just about the growth happening in the Northwest part of our city, we need to be equipped and prepared. And we know that just the big rigs by themselves, not even the staff to run them are in the millions of dollars, um, to procure. And my concern is if we don't have this revenue stream coming to us for this purpose, it's very hard for us as a city to just replace that revenue stream that we have come to rely on for two…”

“Thank you, madam mayor. And I just want to say that, uh, having been here seven years and Jeff is now our third city attorney, I am very, very pleased with his continued, um, uh, just execution of his role as the leader of our city attorney's office. I know he has a small but mighty staff of 59 employees. Um, I know firsthand how he's been instrumental in recruiting really great people to come to work for us, to fill a lot of the. seats that many folks that had held them for 30 years, 20 plus years because of retirement have left vacant. I know that he could use a few more, but he's doing…”

“So, Madam Mayor, if I may, I know my staff has exchanged conversations prior to the agenda item arriving to us. We hadn't heard from them. We haven't met. They don't know what my pain points are. And so, therefore, I'm going to... Just out of courtesy, since we haven't connected prior to this hearing, I'm going to make the request to hold this item in advance until September 2nd. All right. That's my motion. That is your motion.”

“Yeah, I think it's super important for us to over-communicate as soon as we know what the window may look like, especially the business corridors, because Owens and Stewart have businesses that will obviously going to be impacted by the road work. So I think The more we tell them it's coming, that it's going to come so that they're not caught off guard when all of a sudden all of the tearing up of the street is happening right in front of their business location. So I really appreciate if we can just do our best in over-communicating multiple times.”

“Thank you Madam Mayor and happy birthday to Councilman Armstrong and then also happy birthday to Councilman Kelly. One had a birthday yesterday then next she's having one tomorrow so I'm very happy we're going to be all birthdayed out after this meeting. It is also with a heavy heart that we just pray for the family of the fallen officer and we're just so sad that that happened and we lost someone who was stepping up to serve and protect us but All we can do is wish that it doesn't happen in the future. We will get started with the first thing that I have to share with you all was my veterans…”
