Consent agenda: The council approved items on the consent agenda, including minutes for prior meetings, budget transfers and amendments, notification of bills paid and purchase orders, monthly financials, adoption of resolution R25-2 (an interlocal agreement for metropolitan transportation planning), and a Mesquite Public Arts Commission purchase paid from a trust account. Councilman Boger moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion passed (recorded roll-call entries include \"Parrish, aye; Bober, aye;\" full roll call not specified in the audio record).

Zoning amendment B24-7: The council adopted Bill B24-7 as an ordinance to amend the Mesquite Municipal Code to exclude basements and semi-basements from the calculation of building height in the Unified Development Code. City staff explained the change is intended to prevent semi-underground spaces from increasing measured building stories. Councilman Wanless moved to adopt B24-7; the motion passed on an affirmative voice vote (all members \"aye\" was recorded).

Other actions: The council approved the street lane index and road mileage report (see separate item) and accepted a presentation by the city's legislative consultant, Warren Hardy. Item 5.2 on the agenda was pulled for later consideration.

Votes at a glance (recorded information):
- Consent agenda (items 1.1–1.5): Approved. Motion: Councilman Boger; second: (not specified). Recorded roll call entries include Parrish (aye) and Bober (aye). Full tally not specified.

Several items were discussed briefly and approved without extended debate; the meeting record shows some public comment on policing and personnel issues but that public-comment material did not produce additional council motions related to those topics at this meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Mesquite City Council Meeting Jan 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its Jan. 28 meeting the Mesquite City Council approved the consent agenda, adopted ordinance B24-7 amending the Unified Development Code definition of 'story', and took other routine votes; one agenda item was pulled for later consideration.","taxTitle","Mesquite, Clark County, Nevada","taxId",63506,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6093585,"Council approves annual street mileage report; private roads reduce fuel-tax funding share",289,2330000,2619000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2846249-77a562b2227f9b56a64d3ed90c436dd5&start=2330&end=2619","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2846249-77a562b2227f9b56a64d3ed90c436dd5/thumbnail_2330000.jpg","/articles/6093585/Mesquite/Clark-County/Nevada/Council-approves-annual-street-mileage-report-private-roads-reduce-fuel-tax-funding-share","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6093585-9a7a722090ab6428895f9bab91591d96/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191969&Signature=g7jtFJmNoE9Bcf~1AsPVzZWDinGYLyT~e2srZATruq~D-EPtzlaHMC3KsL0VtnmZBG5QmiDKvJRWumKRaP4gfar~-iE~RepVYf6wLX6rer1h27D~9Z3SSF-74DOBbRUNuQxpxFMTyB0xfF9ePhXHJ~-XnDKPkb55iggjawZ2B80BENy6Nnb0AlINadw3~5Fiv7g-3nqCcCBIc3wxmVmIpt71K1R5tvBg8~yXava25T6jAlY023LIVES-20UHhMUG7L0WQHR~NHma4DX1q26tU6ZTNQk83EaigxjbaBvAtzRevrnDyw~gJ1JQJ0tQTMasjBsr4s58g9KRQSYyKBq9XQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mesquite City Council voted Jan. 28 to approve the city's annual street lane index and public road mileage report required by the Nevada Department of Transportation.

Public Works staff reported the city has 150.68 centerline miles of road in total. Of those, 84.08 miles are maintained by the city, 0.38 miles are maintained by the Nevada Department of Transportation, and 66.22 miles are privately maintained. Public Works recommended holding the public hearing and approving the report.

In public comment, resident Gary Elgort asked whether the prevalence of private roads reduces the city's share of fuel-tax funding. Public Works Director Travis Anderson responded that it does: Regional Transportation Commission policies direct funding toward public roadways, so privately maintained streets can reduce the city's eligible mileage for some funding streams. He added that many private roads are built to narrower standards and may not meet requirements for city takeover.

Councilwoman Fielding moved to approve the street lane index and road mileage report; Councilman Wanless seconded. The motion passed (recorded votes included Fielding and Wanless saying \"aye\"; full roll call not specified).","The City Council approved the annual street lane index and road mileage report showing Mesquite has 150.68 centerline miles of road, of which 84.08 miles are city-maintained and 66.22 miles are privately maintained; staff said private roads affect fuel-tax funding allocations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6093588,"Mesquite consultant outlines legislative issues to watch as session opens",968,508000,1476000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2846249-77a562b2227f9b56a64d3ed90c436dd5&start=508&end=1476","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2846249-77a562b2227f9b56a64d3ed90c436dd5/thumbnail_508000.jpg","/articles/6093588/Mesquite/Clark-County/Nevada/Mesquite-consultant-outlines-legislative-issues-to-watch-as-session-opens","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6093588-35075fd5b3e5ff6e4cadba1f5793bc5a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191969&Signature=hPB0Z~Tj6Q2D1-2NWZFjpgxDuWfp5us0019lXH8ZW1rqaqABd4L1seVk4i5Uw3PtQaUHq6BAaWcENjb7jJ8W3L5j3UIXLtoiGZ5dmdiflLaGXgVfkZyUO4z8LHs1HHJHBBlwRybYKX8FrWqBbZeoRxAjoVEwuO97d7q~YCgcF~1vrePKOfvrl35V021de-RCDuaMppQSkI~rMx8OwJMcCF7unHVPVPhBhLbzab0bLHzrVGkaomaAtdy77vSfE4xmDNZgH7KbVGXzUDitT~0DrnNx9hnjwI5sy5N0PS1GzGDZfXk3a2w6VCb32a~Jo44G3XvI2YgIhKjhkiB4b7nLiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Warren Hardy, legislative consultant for the City of Mesquite, told the council Jan. 28 that he will represent the city in Carson City during the upcoming session and will provide a tracking list of bills affecting Mesquite.

Hardy said small cities face distinct challenges and warned that some bills propose statewide preemptions that would limit local control. \"We are a small city in a large county. You can't expect us to do all the things that you're expecting the larger counties,\" Hardy said. He said he has started a separate tracking sheet to flag legislation that \"creates a preemption for local government.\"

Hardy listed several policy areas he will monitor: legislation from the Secretary of State that would prohibit AI in campaign advertising; proposals on affordable housing, including some Democratic proposals for rent control and limits on corporate ownership of investment properties; Medicaid reimbursement and interstate licensing compacts in health care; and debate over the film tax credit. \"If it doesn't stimulate the economy enough to offset the tax credit, it's kinda pointless,\" Hardy said of film tax incentives. He also noted increased attention in this session to animal cruelty statutes and election-related measures to speed ballot resolution.

Council members asked how Mesquite will be represented and how to raise local concerns. Councilman Boger praised recent film production that brought business to Mesquite and asked whether the city has gained a formal seat on the Clark County School District board; Hardy said getting a seat is \"probably an issue that's down the road\" but that administrative-level accommodations specific to Mesquite are under discussion with the district's administration.

Hardy said he will be in Carson City full time while the legislature is in session and will send the city's tracking list to council and staff. \"You'll be able to click on it and see what it is. Call me or express concerns to me if you have any,\" he said.

The council voted to accept Hardy's presentation. Councilman Boger moved to accept the presentation; Councilwoman Gallo seconded. The vote was recorded as \"Boger, aye; Gallo, aye;\" the motion passed (full roll call not specified in the record).","Warren Hardy, Mesquite's legislative consultant, told the City Council Jan. 28 he will track bills that could preempt local authority and highlighted AI, housing, education and the film tax credit as priorities to watch.","actionData","errors"]
