Alpert, who said he serves on the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), asked the council to consider a budget line that could be used for matching grants to local nonprofits to help leverage private donations. \"I would suggest that one of the considerations for the money raised be matching grants for our nonprofits,\" Alpert said, noting the CAC frequently sees requests that exceed the city’s available awards.

Alpert also proposed restoring a CAC role in selecting or advising on community improvement projects, and he urged restoring a three-minute public comment limit (the city currently enforces a two-minute limit). The transcript records his remarks as suggestions for council and staff consideration; no formal action or response adopting the proposals was recorded during the meeting.

Alpert additionally highlighted that the CAC had resumed community bus tours and the committee collectively evaluates local charities during their deliberations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","North Las Vegas - City Council and Redevelopment Agency Regular Meeting - Apr 02, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the city council meeting a resident suggested creating a budget line for matching grants to nonprofits, restoring CAC input on community-improvement projects, and returning the public-comment time limit to three minutes.","taxTitle","North Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada","taxId",2672,"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},6615943,"Luciana Turner reappointed to Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority board",62,3732000,3794000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2857686-cd2c2888137423d710993f0e6a97c572&start=3732&end=3794","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2857686-cd2c2888137423d710993f0e6a97c572/thumbnail_3732000.jpg","/articles/6615943/North-Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Luciana-Turner-reappointed-to-Southern-Nevada-Regional-Housing-Authority-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6615943-f49adad451804fc81e238e3f72127af6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174883&Signature=aD~6NhnEgMom4hbOKrrj08ExVxe0yNep5O2ev5HLOXjmQZQ6cfaRABFABefPdTuwmJ0aR2ISdO7KUmjSVfhsYRTJgqU7aioTVv3B7KgW5PinXbeMUHKw2EkpB1fMl8ix1Q36TrvbbesvCvfnXOUfmhN2AlbBzW47oiRvOvhnJkgRIkHdfFH27wKTU8Ol5ztXUAGJelU~ZO4bizYEmbgRV3UDdYfh73niFtmTrCRwR3ab1vC7iq88seDEPD6o8R4Dtmsp4zFq0hUtGccXfJ1atiTgj9o95V1wriWxK1l6sVdOZUplbbLVvrXC8Vrdbz5GUc7NHOZzy~6iFaaHR3F51A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Las Vegas City Council on April 2 reappointed Luciana Turner as the resident commissioner to the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority Board of Commissioners for a four-year term ending Feb. 28, 2029.

Turner accepted the reappointment at the podium, saying she was honored to continue serving in the role that allows her to represent resident perspectives and promote self-sufficiency. \"As both the resident and the commissioner, I'm able to speak to the resident's needs and be able to educate them also about the things we can do to provide a better lifestyle for ourselves and self sufficiency,\" Turner said.

Council members thanked Turner for her proactive participation on the commission and noted improvements in the authority’s work in recent years. The council motion to reappoint Turner passed during the meeting; the transcript records the motion and that the motion passed but does not include an itemized roll-call tally in the provided excerpt.

Will Hardy, who led the presentation, said the tentative budget includes roughly $26 million in depreciation for utility (proprietary) funds, a cost-of-living increase for staff and $6.4 million in general-fund appropriations toward capital projects. \"This budget has a staffing of 1,959 employees,\" Hardy said, adding that staff removed 21 budgeted positions that had been unfilled for multiple years.

Hardy described a structurally balanced approach—recurrent expenses paid from recurrent revenue, and conservative forecasting for future years. Staff reported an estimated ending general-fund balance of 30.47% of operating expenses, which the presentation said would cover about 3.5 months of expenses.

The presentation noted several funds with planned or expected deficits tied to capital spending and accounting changes: a $22 million transfer from a special-purpose fund toward CIP projects, municipal court technology projects being paid from court-specific funds, water-utility capital spending and changes in how fleet purchases will be budgeted (fleet to acquire vehicles and lease them to departments going forward).

Council members asked about vacancies, timing of revenue from development projects and the composition of the funding assumptions; staff noted building-permit revenues have declined in the short term amid higher interest rates and that revenue from projects such as High Low Park will come as construction and business licensing proceed.

The tentative budget presentation did not require a council vote; staff said the document will proceed through the standard adoption process.","City staff presented a tentative FY2025–26 budget totaling $993.3 million, highlighted a move toward a structurally balanced budget, an ending fund balance of 30.47% and removal of 21 long‑vacant positions from the budget.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6615953,"North Las Vegas adopts $1 billion five‑year capital improvement plan, front-loading $270 million for FY2025‑26",909,2137000,3046000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2857686-cd2c2888137423d710993f0e6a97c572&start=2137&end=3046","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2857686-cd2c2888137423d710993f0e6a97c572/thumbnail_2137000.jpg","/articles/6615953/North-Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/North-Las-Vegas-adopts-1-billion-fiveyear-capital-improvement-plan-front-loading-270-million-for-FY202526","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6615953-11889be767ae08c44e0306ae14f7d1cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174883&Signature=TVgj6eM7nC3kQfvy-FIL11gFDWVVqGoxJwwZlArP-rMa7O5juVmy6vw8yck8pEFiezvaSuBbAnWjl9xKiZAJ88hJoBLlpcvWmi5ZT9QL5xQjzowhnNw8sdxMva0wUXgGsVl4rFuF93JpabWkrbZc7q~0Y91o38WSJK8Un47szZl50i7cS2i1xl3Ywv~rdrA~kKGO~FezBiSxIFPtQdUNm5AVjtCfZTmzBGp6E6a36AjXd67iYzc4rAlA35A0rqt79JkIPA~JOns0Ws81MxLBDSzfnIYfMCLOSUMvAYhJuqiTC~xsu8BEPIGXXIzoEhonIpJ1iyBwGc23v7tTApPlBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Las Vegas City Council on April 2 adopted the city’s fiscal-year 2026–2030 Capital Improvement Plan, a five-year program that staff said totals more than $1 billion and allocates roughly $270 million in the first year (FY2025–26).

Scott Jarvis, manager of engineering design, told the council the plan concentrates major spending in the near term and that the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, the Regional Flood Control District and the city’s utilities funds account for more than 40% of the plan’s funding. \"The first year of the plan, which is fiscal year 25, 26, is a little more than $270,000,000,\" Jarvis said.

Jarvis explained that flood control and utility categories are large because North Las Vegas remains a developing community with regional flood-control facilities planned, and because some water and sewer facilities need major upgrades or retrofits. He told the council many utility facilities are decades old and require replacement or refurbishment.

Fire Chief Joe Calhoun and Police Department representatives discussed department-specific priorities tied to the CIP. Fire Chief Calhoun said the fire portion of the CIP is supported by the voter-approved tax override and includes apparatus replacement, equipment refreshes and funds set aside in outer years for a potential new fire station (referred to in discussion as Station 59). \"We do have some money set aside for the FF&E and equipment to put into that new fire station,\" Calhoun said, while noting future timing and staffing would be determined later. Police staff noted that many police-related capital needs are recorded in the municipal facilities and vehicles categories; police-specific items discussed included a planned mobile command center.

Jarvis and other staff said the funding mix includes federal, state and regional grant programs; staff noted the Regional Transportation Commission funding is tied to fuel revenue indexing and can expand or contract with travel patterns. In response to a council question, staff said private funding (about 9.64% on the funding slide) can include developer contributions when utilities are upsized to serve new development.

The council voted to adopt the CIP and authorized the city manager or designee to amend the plan as necessary to address FY2026 funding changes. The transcript records the motion and subsequent approval; no roll-call vote tally was included in the provided excerpt.

The adopted CIP lists project categories and funding sources, and staff said years 1 and 2 contain the largest, most certain project allocations, with later years subject to projection uncertainty and funding availability.","The city adopted a five-year CIP that totals more than $1 billion, with year one at roughly $270 million and significant funding from regional transportation, flood control and utilities; the plan prioritizes utilities, flood control, transportation and municipal facilities.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6615958,"North Las Vegas approves franchise amendment with Republic Services and adopts ordinance changing solid-waste CPI language and rates",1806,2003000,3809000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2857686-cd2c2888137423d710993f0e6a97c572&start=2003&end=3809","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2857686-cd2c2888137423d710993f0e6a97c572/thumbnail_2003000.jpg","/articles/6615958/North-Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/North-Las-Vegas-approves-franchise-amendment-with-Republic-Services-and-adopts-ordinance-changing-solid-waste-CPI-language-and-rates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6615958-4d5c39d170da5b74ea042e996798a735/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174883&Signature=NVqY6qrNwb7B5gCDJMZLhM0iaU8y9CCb9xA2FUOa6ItttBYxdkyHoBaMqin2yBkCfm2xOpgyEyrfXmKx-s9dAlOTuK5WKNnn8Nk2q3aPzOHn53mn88w9KFAzPROU4kuuIBWuprYch73hkyazrJh94ZliSBSL4ecMBtCDZCaznCd~rCb8gZZuy8wegFTXT~V6OUUkNMLwSmZrdKBp3uHmF3bJwWVALsMRvBqoGW5Bfn6kqpS47R-cviUSklanp7xJc1AdRtDCV4ZAzWg2JyfAJJkpHEkwcBp2BRbHmv2rKEVPymO8o4CTjJuTOeq6qpF41KBTez9lnRzna5fVShFpAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Las Vegas City Council on April 2 approved a third amendment to the city's franchise agreement with Republic Services and adopted Ordinance No. 3231, which revises the consumer price index definition used for solid-waste rate adjustments.

The change to the franchise agreement, presented by Jennifer Lasovich of Republic Services, moves the contract to a water, sewer and trash CPI index the company said better reflects the solid-waste industry. \"It'll bring you into parity and consistency with the other jurisdictions by putting us on the water, sewer, and trash, CPI index,\" Lasovich told the council. She thanked city staff for multiple meetings and said the amendment also strengthens partnership provisions important to the city.

Mayor Pro Tem and council members asked no substantive follow-up questions during the presentation and moved to approve the amendment. The council then passed Ordinance No. 3231, which amends Chapter 8.2 of the North Las Vegas Municipal Code to update the CPI definition and associated solid-waste management rates.

City staff and the Republic Services team said the contractual update is intended to align rate adjustments across jurisdictions and reflect industry costs more accurately. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote count for either the franchise amendment or the ordinance; meeting minutes show motions were made and the motions passed.

The ordinance and contract amendment will affect how future rate changes are calculated; specific dollar impacts on residential or commercial rates were not provided during the meeting.

The council approved the motions during the April 2 meeting after the public presentations and staff discussion. No legal challenge, appeal, or effective date for the ordinance was stated on the record during the meeting.

Details: Motion language taken from the meeting transcript and council action. Vote tallies and individual member votes were not recorded in the public transcript excerpts provided.","The City Council approved a third amendment to its solid-waste franchise with Republic Services and adopted an ordinance updating the CPI definition used to adjust trash rates, council members said the changes align North Las Vegas with other Valley jurisdictions.","actionData","errors"]
