The ordinance, as read into the record during the meeting, updates maximum service rates, changes the method and calculation for annual rate increases, revises provisions related to revocation and adjustment of franchises for noncompliance, and allows extension of ambulance vehicle service life under certain circumstances.

The bill text was read during the recommending‑committee portion of the meeting and a motion to approve the ordinance was made and carried. The motion was posted and recorded as passed; the meeting transcript records the vote as carried following a call for the yeas.

The ordinance amends LVMC chapter 6.8 (Ambulance franchises).

Councilwoman Sandra Summers Armstrong presented the proclamation and praised Abodo’s urban-farming, mutual-aid and community‑development efforts in Historic West Las Vegas. Abodo leaders described programs including gardening classes, chef demonstrations, a greengrocer and a community farm at 1300 C Street.

“Abodo Urban Farms … increases access to locally grown high quality produce,” Councilwoman Summers Armstrong said when introducing the organization. Tamika Henry, executive director of the Abodo Collective, told the council the group has helped people move from unstable housing into stable situations and has grown local food access, but that fundraising shortfalls threaten the operation. “We are two months away from closing our doors because we don't … have not been able to garner the support that we … need to stay sustainable,” Henry said.

Cheyenne Kyle, the group’s food‑grama coordinator, described the farm’s production and community impact and said, “A resilient food system is absolutely imperative.” Henry and Kyle urged attendees to visit the farm at 1300 C Street, volunteer, donate or shop the greengrocer to help sustain programming.

Council members presented a ceremonial proclamation declaring May 7 Abodo Collective Day and posed for photos with staff and volunteers. The proclamation is symbolic; Abodo leaders asked the council and the public for tangible support. During the ceremony Henry emphasized the organization’s role in providing free child-care connections, mutual aid and skills training, and appealed for immediate financial contributions and volunteers so operations can continue.","The City Council declared May 7 Abodo Collective Day.

The proclamation, presented during the council’s ceremonial agenda by Mayor Pro Tem Bridal Knudson, praised Tyler for his courage and medical milestones and recognized his family’s advocacy. The family and supporters urged the city and regional leaders to improve access to comprehensive pediatric care so other Nevada children need not leave the state for treatment.

Councilman Bridal Knudson read the proclamation noting Tyler’s treatments at out‑of‑state centers and the family’s work on pediatric-health advocacy. The proclamation cited Tyler’s participation in advanced immunotherapy and the family’s efforts to improve pediatric care access in Nevada.

Eric Baloo, Tyler’s father, addressed the council after the proclamation. Baloo described the family’s experience traveling for care and said delays on highways and a lack of specialty services put children at risk. “We are losing Nevada children on the interstate because we don't currently have enough specialty care here in Las Vegas,” Baloo said during his remarks. He told the council his son died while en route to a dose of treatment and that an ambulance took 40 minutes to arrive: “We ended up waiting 40 minutes for the ambulance to arrive.”

Baloo asked that Tyler’s legacy be an increase in local options so children could, for example, “do radiation in the morning and be home in the afternoon to pick on his little sisters.” He thanked the council and community groups that supported the family.

Council members and community partners joined the family for a photo and cake; the council will keep a commemorative display at City Hall. The proclamation does not by itself create new services or funding; council members did not vote on a specific policy or spending measure at the May 7 meeting. Baloo and other speakers urged follow‑up by health system leaders and regional partners to identify concrete steps to expand pediatric specialty capacity in Southern Nevada.","The City Council proclaimed May 2025 as Tyler Day.
