“Thank you. Pastor Webb, it's good to see you. Thank you so much for coming in. I can't let you get by without the pat on the hand either because that patio cover was put up there without permits, but it was well installed and you are going to comply with the things that were recommended at planning. I'm going to add one more thing. We talked about the storage unit that you have on site. It must be removed. It's not part of your site plan. And we don't want it to get stuck in the corner there between your proposed new structure. I'm excited about what you're going to do in the community. I…”

“Thank you for that. Staff, can you please go back to one of the pictures where it shows the existing lot facing It's looking at it to the east, right. And so I can see on here there's a CMU wall that backs the existing commercial property that has landscaping and a sidewalk. So the sidewalk would need to be connected from that area all the way to the corner. Is that part of the development standard?”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I think that that kind of clarifies for me. I'm going to move for approval, but I'm going to just also make the comment that you're probably going to struggle getting something in here because if this comes back while I'm here, I'm going to be very concerned about access off of Fairhaven. That is a residential street. We just have a development. If you've noticed, there's some townhouses for sale that are being constructed and they don't have access on Fairhaven. And that was on purpose because we wanted to respect the current condition of the community, which is RE.…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I note in the staff report that there is a septic tank and leach field.”
City Council · Aug 19, 2026

“Okay, the issue is though that any changes to the location of a septic tank has to go through the Southern Nevada Health District.”
City Council · Aug 19, 2026
- Play at 2:05:55
“And there is a question as to whether or not this additional structure would be encroaching on the bleach field. I would like to propose that you all deal with the Southern Nevada Health District first before we undertake adding a structure. And that would be my motion and that we obey this until we get some clearance and a letter or whatever is needed from the Southern Nevada Health District before they start. And the reason I'm asking this is so that we have clarity. They don't have a garage because they converted the garage to a living space. And that wasn't permitted, right?”
City Council · Aug 19, 2026
- Play at 2:06:46
“But it was converted. And so we, I just want to make sure that we are dealing with the leach field and the in the septic before we go forward with any kind of a structure?”
City Council · Aug 19, 2026

“Okay, so whatever the requirements are for the Southern Nevada Health District, I'd like to see those met first so that you have no obstruction to complying with whatever the Southern Nevada Regional Health District requires first before we do an additional structure. I would like to know from staff if we can do that, if that could be...”

“Yes, Madam Mayor. I know that that is a process that we could, but I'd like to do it the way I suggested because of previous that have not necessarily been followed. Let's get the Southern Nevada Health District first on board and then do it, give them the approval for this.”

“Yes, I'd like to obey this item. Can you give me the 60-day, Madam Clerk? October 21st. October 21st, obey the item pending a letter from the Health District on the possibility, well, on the issue with the septic tank. and then we can move forward. If you get it done sooner, we can move it forward sooner.”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I live in an old neighborhood, too, at Martin through King in Washington, and we don't have an HOA. We have a neighborhood association. And it is difficult. I think we have 176 plots, and it is difficult to get consensus. We have been facing challenges as well, But I have to say that I'm slightly jealous of the Medical District because you all have had the benefit of not only being attractive to development, but also having money from the city put behind what you all want to do. We have Historic West Las Vegas. It's very small. We had some great stuff happen today with…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. We don't have a slide, but before I begin, I also would like to send my sincere condolences to Officer Abdonali's family in remembrance of his just unfortunate killing here in the city. Happened on my birthday, and it is just... It is a lot to have to absorb as a human being, and I just pray for him and his family that they find some peace during this very difficult time. On the 19th, oh, now I'm confused. Let's see. Thank you. On August 10th, I had the pleasure of being at Matt Kelly to welcome the students On their very first day of school, they have an annual red…”

“Thank you so much. Madam Mayor, just want to clarify that the station in Ward 5 is not being replaced now. It is going to be some maintenance, deferred maintenance is what is in this budget and a new station is in the future.”

“Okay. Madam Mayor, if I may, I just want to make a minor adjustment to item 65.”

“I'm sorry, it is 64. My apologies. I'm trying to do two things at once and it's not working. On item 64, I would like to reduce That extension to one year as opposed to the two that is in the recommendation. I've spoken with the development team, and they are here, and we have come to an agreement.”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I just had a couple of questions. First, one comment. In addition to flyers, I think, especially in our business corridors, that some personal door knocking would also be a good idea, if you could include that in whatever PIO outreach that you all are doing. I saw some of the list, I didn't see smaller arterials. Are we having any hot spots where we're seeing, it's been very dry, but in past years that have caused any property damage to residential, Or are all of these things really tied into the arterials?”
City Council · Aug 5, 2026
- Play at 2:39:50
“Yeah, that's been a hot spot for Ward 5 for a while, and I'm happy to hear that that's at the top of the regional list. That's great. And when we're talking about letting contracts for all of these types of things, is there an annual, every five-year list that gets put together so that we can spread the wealth and make sure that we have as many contractors as possible participating in especially our small businesses.”

“Thank you very much, Mayor. We'll start with the Southern Nevada Housing Policy Forum. which happened on the 20th of July. I was very happy to attend. There were lots of elected officials there, the mayor, MPT was there. We really had a wonderful time learning and contributing to the improvement of housing policy and look forward to their conference coming up in September. On the 24th of July, we had Youth Safe Night. That was at the Wealthy Place Ministries. They created and gave the community a safe place to spend with their families, gather school supplies, and enjoy the final days of…”
