“We generated about 117,000. We had spent about 74,000,” Manor said, adding that the program is self-funded and intends to remain so. He said approximately 3,000 people signed official waivers to participate and an estimated 8,400 people attended as spectators across events.

Manor described operational changes that improved timing, including digital bracketing for double-elimination tournaments, and joint events with the city’s special-events team to encourage more entries in the El Dorado parade. He said moving the mayor’s walk into the parade created confusion for some teams that expected parade participation to count toward Corporate Challenge points and made closing ceremonies attendance lower than in prior years; staff said they are considering moving the mayor’s walk back to closing ceremonies.

Staff also noted staffing transitions and efforts to bring on new coordinators, and discussed ideas to increase involvement and revenue, including sponsorship opportunities and a possible adaptive division. Commissioner Burgos asked whether there is an adaptive component; Manor said the program has no adaptive division this year but the department could consider it.

Why it matters: Corporate Challenge is a sizable self-sustaining recreation program with broad employer and community participation; decisions on scheduling and format affect participant experience and program revenues.

No formal commission action was taken; staff said they will continue post-season evaluation and planning for next year.","Recreation supervisor Savonte Manor reported that the 2025 Corporate Challenge included about 56 teams, generated roughly $117,000 in revenues with about $74,000 in costs, and served about 3,000 signed participants and 8,400 spectators; staff noted parade logistics, digital bracketing and possible adaptive divisions for future events.",{"_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},6527165,"City says MOU with Nevada Youth Soccer Association has lapsed; municipal sports unit to manage field allocations",810,1684000,2494000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3645278-12529bcd61a9c381e143b19770bd61c3&start=1684&end=2494","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3645278-12529bcd61a9c381e143b19770bd61c3/thumbnail_1684000.jpg","/articles/6527165/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/City-says-MOU-with-Nevada-Youth-Soccer-Association-has-lapsed-municipal-sports-unit-to-manage-field-allocations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527165-b752e2a8036caa6300758ce8db4a45b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152196&Signature=QpV5RtRUS9OTSHpwJKzsQZNYwMUEupYf-y9czjERRo2iU5~k4-KlNzx-XF4ZtD4L9MnoHzQu6rmLT0u52KQfPB76uvSV9W8q~wWZl5SiLPZpNB7gYk2-oWKuJrAZVc-J9S-E~mOb43fD2rGbkSafeWDPe~asSSXLSPKnjgLRKcK4TadYXOPOfyF5K0fgxgNvXEtfsDxKckIOnVl6D54nuPOiscGZU3wNWY1tKARYqj0s0N0Mjuwtcs-zZK43-oIftXBjDTX232G4ANLhoNmRuAR7K4mEscoBwc6Nn7v-r6UlGjV1cbtLevjVNhM04Kt0TS1wbhWSZNZZK6jQu06BFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pat O’Mara, Deputy Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Director, told the commission that the city’s longstanding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Nevada Youth Soccer Association (NYSA) has expired and will not be renewed in its prior form.

“As we were in the process of re-upping that MOU…what they were proposing is not something we were interested in, and so the MOU has been allowed to lapse and we have taken over the field allocation,” O’Mara said. He said the municipal sports unit will continue to support local tournaments and prioritize community youth access while trying to attract some tournament-related tourism dollars.

O’Mara outlined the city’s field-allocation priorities: first the city’s athletic sports programs, then other City of Las Vegas programs and joint contracts (such as with the school district), then historical users; new uses are prioritized to nonprofit youth organizations, then nonprofit adult organizations, then commercial youth and commercial adult, and finally individual short-term rentals.

He said clubs that had previously received field time through NYSA will now request space directly through the municipal sports unit. “We are trying to ensure that we’re being as fair as we can to the groups that were not technically coming to us for space,” he said.

O’Mara also noted the city has a mutual-use agreement with the school district that allows some sharing of fields, but said school facilities generally cannot solve the current allocation gap because the district’s fields are heavily programmed and used.

The deputy director also gave other recreation updates: a junior lifeguard camp for ages 11–14 and a summer basketball league that filled in five days, with roughly 550 registered participants and a nearly 200-person waiting list. He announced Cassandra Lewis’s upcoming retirement after roughly 32 years with the department.

Why it matters: field allocation affects hundreds of youth teams, local clubs and tournament organizers and may change how local organizations secure practice and tournament time.

Staff did not propose immediate policy changes during the meeting; O’Mara said the department will hold field-allocation meetings to discuss the transition and to apply historical-use considerations where feasible.","Deputy Director Pat O'Mara told the commission the long-standing memorandum of understanding with the Nevada Youth Soccer Association was not renewed; the city will directly manage field allocations and prioritize youth, municipal and contractual uses under a published priority order.",{"_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},6527170,"Parks trades outline maintenance projects, playground replacements and ADA work",532,864000,1396000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3645278-12529bcd61a9c381e143b19770bd61c3&start=864&end=1396","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3645278-12529bcd61a9c381e143b19770bd61c3/thumbnail_864000.jpg","/articles/6527170/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Parks-trades-outline-maintenance-projects-playground-replacements-and-ADA-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527170-dff52b52096ce764c5b0b27e5d46451d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152196&Signature=WswoB5j9shQeBfdC8hmZs0gAnljYrNotaYvSU3cpeZ9oIU~xxvdhFqJc5Xe7UtChJSLOWDNCcrz1a-z3lrI8UeMvNGAnNgfix37paZSWpw5noB4lqt16ni66y99nufz0mgoi0-TRTiQ3mf-41Ao4GLZwGCG6XrFgGmX3yFflzTq6KMnSJU-ciQwq1OkOktCQkAC1azPHZCSHpTHVyytixS--tjnMp~OcjTv3mx-st8cq6kTF31d5ZT9N8DzdK5EFzStC4xthxbhRpXZh-SsUohBlOa7JfZ6c-7Rfo0vIzu8dQsnzei2aEPisub5aP~bYvDyQAxm3RVkJa6jusiuNCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Steve Glimp, manager of Parks and Grounds Maintenance, and Travis Rich, facilities field supervisor, told the commission about recent and upcoming maintenance and construction work across city parks.

Rich described the trades crew’s roles: fencing, welding, playground repairs, plumbing for drinking fountains and splash pads, graffiti removal, concrete and block work, and other facility repairs. “Simply said, I have a boss, a former boss, Adrian, that would always say that the parks trades is responsible for everything other than the grass and trees,” Rich said.

Recent projects Rich highlighted include the Floyd Lamb horse corral and arena cleanup, a new playground at Stewart Place, and resurfacing and striping at Cimarron Rose (adding pickleball lines and multiuse court markings). He said crews have begun work at Sky Ridge Playground and the Children’s Memorial Playground and expect to finish by the end of summer.

Glimp and Rich discussed next fiscal-year goals including tennis-court resurfacing at Aloha Shores and Bob Baskin, replacing shade structures and some pavilions, adding fencing for field security, upsizing a recirculation pump at Floyd Lamb to improve flow and oxygenation, and installing more rubber surfacing to meet ADA needs at playgrounds.

Commissioners asked for timing and follow-up. Commissioner Burgos thanked staff for work at Floyd Lamb. Commissioner Cornwell asked about a plan for the James Guy Center area and was told the department is evaluating priorities and will present projects in the next fiscal-year plan, and that staff can meet offline to review needs. Commissioner Vocus asked about Craig and Park; Deputy Director Pat O’Mara said the project is a Public Works project and is on track to reopen at or near the start of the school year.

Why it matters: the trades section maintains park infrastructure used daily by residents; stated goals include repair and ADA upgrades that affect accessibility and safety.

No formal action was taken on the maintenance report; staff said they would continue to coordinate with commissioners on site-specific plans.","Parks and Grounds Maintenance Manager Steve Glimp and facilities supervisor Travis Rich described trades crew responsibilities, recent work at Floyd Lamb and Stewart Place, upcoming playgrounds and ADA surfacing plans, and schedule notes on slide replacements at Centennial Park.",{"_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},6527175,"Las Vegas Public Safety reports 825 park-related calls in May; cameras, records requests addressed",747,195000,942000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3645278-12529bcd61a9c381e143b19770bd61c3&start=195&end=942","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3645278-12529bcd61a9c381e143b19770bd61c3/thumbnail_195000.jpg","/articles/6527175/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Las-Vegas-Public-Safety-reports-825-park-related-calls-in-May-cameras-records-requests-addressed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527175-08a1ef354f0ae772e5e5bab9b9415cea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152196&Signature=mt0UZnWLfzkQR3YcjSGxN7Wx5may7vCliS03iDZX9trzIwLsidF2-uazWuPONYL-8-UQlP-MPCduAQDHCHmP~3Z~nHOqroxpwLzoWtg-xWuxjOPW-OTxT0h3e7Z0S7dkyxgZQjum2E1hl~oerU10TDKcrCBaQMRibSQ6X5UY~Q~DUvuDikG4JmFAJ2xNZRRK4rT0-5~q-nindbXQMwd3eITHYrlb7P-IScQcbJyQi4OcC8XFQrq4heB2JO7ySn0euUOJBQxxmo25WrByQzg0vXpBLCjgSaxzfsSPRjFHHezzhL3kRWGuDF~sVhxfM4c7wgIX52sG1d9sMA-vXMZ8Xg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lieutenant Cheryl Manning of the Department of Public Safety reported to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission that city public-safety units recorded 825 calls for service in May and identified the parks with the most citations or arrests in each ward.

Manning said Justice Levitt Park logged the highest number in Ward 3, with 57 citations or arrests; Ward 5’s Ethel Pearson Park had 18 citations or arrests. Overall, the department recorded 86 calls in Ward 1, 64 in Ward 2, 287 in Ward 3, 81 in Ward 4, 246 in Ward 5 and 61 in Ward 6, she said.

“Those calls for service does not include our regular perimeter checks where we’re securing facilities or out of our vehicle,” Manning said.

The lieutenant also described the city’s camera deployments. “We do have three total cameras,” she said. She said one camera was deployed in Ward 6 near Tom Boulevard in Iron Mountain in response to an illegal shooting, a second was deployed to monitor a marshal patrol vehicle parking area, and a third camera was down for maintenance.

Commissioners asked follow-up questions about patterns in incidents. Commissioner Howard (Ward 6) asked whether three stolen flight-layout batteries represented a single incident or several; Manning said she would research and follow up. Commissioner Cornwell asked how to request camera footage after recent vandalism at the Las Vegas Healing Garden; Manning said records requests must go through the department’s records unit and that she would provide the records-department email address.

Manning also listed recent community-oriented policing events tied to parks, including a Special Olympics event at Justice Levitt Park and an art-in-the-park and cleanup at Rainbow Family Park, and invited commissioners to be notified when officers attend ward-specific events so they may participate.

Why it matters: the report gives commissioners and residents a ward-by-ward snapshot of public-safety activity in parks and describes how to request records or follow up on specific incidents.

The commission did not take formal action on the report. Manning said she would follow up with details requested by commissioners, including the battery incidents and camera-records request instructions.","Lieutenant Cheryl Manning told the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission that city public-safety units logged 825 calls for service in May across all wards, detailed top parks by citations/arrests, and described three deployed cameras and how the public can request records.","actionData","errors"]
