Las Vegas City Council approves communications franchise and housing- and zoning-related code changes
Summary
Council adopted Bill 2026-22 (a franchise to Light Source Communications LLC), Bill 2026-23 (amending public-utility refund eligibility tied to federal poverty guidelines, with a staff-correcting amendment), and Bill 2026-24 (updates to accessory dwelling unit code to conform with state law).
The Las Vegas City Council voted July 1 to approve multiple ordinances recommended by staff and committees.
Bill 2026-22 grants a nonexclusive franchise to Light Source Communications LLC for communications services and broadband infrastructure inside the city limits; the council voted to approve the ordinance after the bill was read into the record.
Council also approved Bill 2026-23, which ties eligibility for a municipal public-utility refund to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services federal poverty guidelines and gives the finance department discretion to extend filing dates. City attorney Jeff Dorkak noted a staff-recommended first amendment to replace an obsolete job-title reference (manager of senior citizen programs division) with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs; the council approved the bill as amended.
Finally, Bill 2026-24 updated municipal code chapters related to accessory dwelling units to conform with Assembly Bill 396 from the 83rd Nevada Legislature. Council members moved and the motion carried on all three ordinances.
The council made the approvals during the regular meeting after routine minutes and consent items were approved. No detailed roll-call tallies were recorded in the spoken record; each action was announced by the mayor as "motion carries."
