Mesquite council adds Parade of Lights presentation and Falcon Ridge driving range to agenda, pulls RDA item
Summary
The council added a Parade of Lights presentation by Debbie Banham and returned the Falcon Ridge Golf Course driving-range item to the agenda; it also voted to pull RDA item 4.2 for resubmission after staff review. A resident asked the city to consider hiring a full-time attorney.
At the City of Mesquite technical review meeting on Jan. 6 the chair asked to add a Parade of Lights presentation by Debbie Banham and to place it early on the agenda; staff noted presentations do not require a formal vote. The chair also asked to bring back the Falcon Ridge Golf Course driving range for council consideration; Councilwoman Fielding seconded and the council added the item by procedural vote (tallies not specified in the transcript).
Separately, a council member queried item 4.2, described as allowing the redevelopment agency director to approve projects 1–4. Staff member Randy said the item had been intended for the RDA agenda but was not scheduled and that it would be pulled and resubmitted; the council voted to formally pull 4.2 from the current tech review agenda.
During final public comment, resident Nick Alfonsetti urged the city to consider hiring a full-time city attorney now that a new city manager is in place, saying it was "time that we start looking into getting a full time lawyer." The transcript records the requests and procedural votes but does not include substantive debate, budget details, or vote tallies for the procedural additions and removals.
