The Mesquite City Council tech-review packet included two resolutions proposing the sale of approximately 15.26 acres of city-owned property at 800 Horizon Boulevard for economic development. The measures, identified as resolution R25-026 and resolution R25-027, were read by staff and described as actions to authorize disposal of the property in accordance with the Mesquite City Charter Section 2-340.

Why it matters: The resolutions would clear the way for the city to dispose of city-owned land intended for economic-development use, an action that can affect local tax base, future land use and development patterns.

City staff read the title and purpose of R25-026 and R25-027 during the tech-review. R25-026 was presented as a finding that the sale of the parcel (shown in Clark County assessor records as lot 1 of parcel map file 130, page 73) at 800 Horizon Boulevard is in the best interest of the city of Mesquite. R25-027 was described as similarly finding that sale for economic development or redevelopment is consistent with the Mesquite City Charter Section 2-340.

No members of the public offered comments during the tech-review presentation of these items. Council members and staff moved on to other agenda items; the tech-review format was noted by staff as a preview and not the formal public hearing, and public comment would be accepted at the subsequent council meeting when the items appear on the formal agenda.

Discussion versus decision: At the tech-review meeting these items were presented for review and public awareness. The transcript records presentation and no formal vote or final action on the resolutions during the tech-review; the council indicated public hearings and formal action would occur at subsequent meetings where public comment opportunities are scheduled.

Next steps: The items were scheduled to appear on the upcoming council agenda for formal action and public hearings; the tech-review record notes that interested members of the public may comment when the items return to the formal meeting agenda.
