The Clark County Council convened on September 25, 2025, for a session marked by public comments addressing pressing community issues. The meeting began with roll call, confirming the presence of all council members, followed by a reminder of the rules governing public comments, which are limited to three minutes and must pertain to agenda items.

The first speaker, Shavona McEwen, a local resident and Navy veteran, expressed gratitude to the council for their public service while highlighting significant community challenges. She pointed out the alarming number of residents experiencing homelessness, food shortages, and poverty, urging the council to focus on these pressing issues rather than engaging in divisive politics. McEwen emphasized the need for the council to prioritize the well-being of the community over partisan agendas.

Following her, Kimberly Goheen raised concerns about the conduct of the meeting, suggesting that the council had allowed off-topic discussions to occur without intervention. She criticized the council's handling of public comments and expressed frustration over perceived injustices in the treatment of speakers.

Carmen De Leon, another speaker, echoed sentiments about the need for more public engagement and criticized the council for not accommodating evening meetings to allow greater community participation. She expressed concerns about the fear of repercussions for speaking out and called for a more inclusive environment for public discourse.

Nancy Grant spoke in favor of a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk, a political and faith leader, urging the council to approve it without dilution. She highlighted Kirk's positive impact on community engagement and urged the council to act promptly.

Mike Worthy addressed the agenda item concerning the Quiet Zone proposal, reflecting on the long history of efforts to silence train whistles in his neighborhood. He commended the county staff for their ongoing work and expressed hope for a resolution that would enhance the quality of life for residents living near the tracks.

The meeting concluded with no further public comments, but the discussions underscored the community's desire for the council to focus on critical local issues and improve public engagement in governance. The council is expected to consider the various proposals and concerns raised in future sessions.
