PUBLIC FORUM

Mayor Lee opened public forum. City Clerk Raynor provided the following summary of written public comments her office received in regards to AMP-10-2020 and ZN-15-2020, noting that these items were originally scheduled to be heard by the City Council at its November 18, 2020 meeting and that are on this meeting agenda as items 33 and 34 since the November 18^th meeting was cancelled.

· The applicant for AMP-10-2020 and ZN-15-2020 has requested the items be continued to December 16, 2020.

· The following residents have provided written correspondence in opposition to these items as presented at the Planning Commission and as published for Council action citing preferences to keep the rural designation, to have the new development match the lifestyle of existing properties, and instead of the proposed parcel sizes to build ½-acre properties consistent with the neighborhood. They also cited problems in the area that this development would worsen, including old power grids, traffic congestion, and the need for more police and fire support.

· Sherrie Snyder provided maps, a letter of opposition, copies of City zoning documents, and a neighborhood petition that was circulated in January of this year on which 36 people signed in opposition to the proposed development at Lone Mountain and Allen. She also provided a copy of meeting notes from the September 2, 2020 neighborhood meeting where residents asked questions and stated their opposition to the current design.

· Ms. Ujifusa, Ms. Snyder, and others expressed dissatisfaction with the meeting process and the protracted time it has taken to get a final decision on these two items due to COVID-19 constraints, cancelled meetings, etc.

· Lastly, Ms. Ujifusa asked that Council deny the items at tonight’s meeting and not continue them.

· In response to City of North Las Vegas mailed public hearing notices, the City received 23 with five supporting these items and 18 in opposition.

The following callers called into the public forum to provide their feedback.

· Ivan Caulier, 3405 W. Verde Way, North Las Vegas, stated he opposed items 33 and 34 and asked that Council support current zoning for the property.

· William Werk, 4850 N. Kenny Way, North Las Vegas, stated he opposed items 33 and 34. He stated that when the property sold the existing zoning was known by the new owner and that a higher density does not make sense based on the adjacent properties.

· Sherrie Snyder, 3728 W. Verde Way, North Las Vegas, stated that the proposed project for items 33 and 34 is not consistent with current zoning and that she does not want the zoning to change. She added that she provided several documents to Council including a petition in opposition to items 33 and 34 as proposed. She asked that if the property is developed, it be developed into half-acre parcels using current zoning requirements. She stressed that this process has been ongoing for two years and that rural estates residents would like Council to make a final decision in a meeting that is either a virtual meeting or one open to the public, but that Council does not continue this item more times.

· Fred Young, 4704 Brushfire St, North Las Vegas, stated a preference for half-acre lots and does not understand the need for higher density residences here, since the rest of the city contains plenty of higher density residential areas. He stressed this area of town is unique environment and asked Council to keep the R-E zoning for this property, stating changing for this applicant does not seem fair or just.

· Caitlin Gwin, 320 Bonanza Way, Las Vegas, called into to express dissatisfaction with the cleanup of the Las Vegas wash homeless encampment near Owens and Losee. She stated that those who did this had no compassion and stated CDC moratoriums against evictions were not honored.

· Jameelah Lewis, 5800 W. Charleston Blvd, Apt. 2051, Las Vegas, also expressed dissatisfaction with the cleanup efforts, stressing that services for homeless individuals have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

· Jazz Sheffer, 3145 E. Flamingo Rd, #2014, Las Vegas, also spoke about the cleanup and provided a list of seven demands concerning this item.

Having no more requests to speak, Mayor Lee closed the public forum.

ACTION:	ACCEPTED UPDATE
MOTION:	None
AYES:	None
NAYS:	None
ABSTAIN:	None

City Manager Juden introduced the item and Assistant City Manager Melesio provided an update on the $23,790,984 Coronavirus Relief Funds received from the County. Mr. Melesio stated that library staff quickly responded to the needs of residents, helping residents navigate through the requirements to apply for and receive funding. He stated the City created small business grants first and later micro grants and grants for businesses with more than 40 employees. He thanked NV Energy and Southwest Gas, noting that through their partnership with the City, the City was able to identify 5,700 City residents who needed assistance for paying those utility bills. He spoke briefly about the Southern Nevada Urban Micro Academy (SNUMA), which was developed by the City to provide educational resources to students at City facilities and its resounding success.

City Manager Juden stressed that it was just unfortunate that the City, residents, and businesses had to wait six months to get these funds. He stressed that the City was very appreciative of the County granting these funds to the City since the City did not receive any from the State. In response to a question from Councilman Barron, City Manager Juden noted that the City has used technology as much as possible to make applying for City programs quick and easy. He stressed though that there are some requirements, which must be completed accurately, and that agencies could face charges of fraud and illegal behavior if those requirements are not properly met. He added that the stellar work done by library staff was recognized by Senator Cortez Masto and that she has submitted them for a national award.

Ratify the North Las Vegas Police Supervisors Association Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Period of July 1, 2020 Through June 30, 2021. (Citywide) (For Possible Action)

City Manager Juden provided the required report, stating that his general comments were for both Item 36 and 37, but that he would provide specifics before the vote on each item. In general, he stated that the City revenues are down by 20.3%, saying this is less than originally estimated, but it is still not a good financial situation. He noted that nationwide unemployment is up, but in Nevada and Florida it worse than in other states. He said that estimated revenues through to June 2022 are off by $70M. He said that this is definitely a financial challenge the City must overcome, but that past diversifications has helped the City. He stated that in response to these concerns over the last 10 months the City has cancelled or postponed some projects, there has been a soft hiring freeze, and that City staff have received no COLA or wage increases. He stressed that each of the bargaining units have stepped up to help close the gaps the City is facing and continue to provide the same City services.

City Manager Juden noted that for Item 36, this is an agreement for 38 positions and costs the City $8.2M per year. He stated the agreement keeps salaries flat and includes savings due to changes in insurance.

Councilman Barron and Councilman Cherchio thanked staff and the teams negotiating these agreements and that these belt-tightening actions help the citizens they serve.

(Ward 2-Goynes-Brown) (For Possible Action)

Neighborhood and Leisure Services Director Palmer made the presentation and showed a site plan of the proposed changes to Craig Ranch Regional Park. He stated that in addition to four multi-use fields, the funding would include new rest rooms, bleachers, green areas and improved parking and roads in the Southeast corner of the park. He stressed that the multi-use fields would be used for athletic activities, as well as for other events. He noted that there will be improved lighting to allow use of these areas later in the day. He stated that all of this was possible through the partnership with the County, specifically Commissioners Weekly and Kirkpatrick. Director Palmer stated that other City projects will be on-going during these projects as well, citing the installation of the small railroad train in the park and other road improvements, noting that staff would work together to ensure that none of the projects negatively impact the other projects.

In response to Mayor Lee questions, Director Palmer stated project completion would be December of 2022 and that he is preparing a draft letter to thank the County for this grant. Director Palmer asked that Council approve the grant. In response to Councilwoman Goynes-Brown questions, that the new fields could support most athletic events, except pickleball. He noted pickleball events would be scheduled on

basketball courts instead. In response to her question about naming the four mixed-use fields, City Manager Juden stated that the City is working on a City naming policy and will bring that to Council soon. He added that naming the fields might be confusing for tournament play.
