Residents complain about repeated 25% assessment hikes; council adopts Pecos Robindale NID rate
Summary
Homeowners told the council they are facing consecutive 25% increases in their Pecos Robindale neighborhood assessment and cited poor maintenance; council adopted a resolution setting the FY2027 assessment at $211.45, citing labor and rising water costs as drivers.
Several homeowners told Henderson’s City Council on June 16 that the Pecos Robindale Neighborhood Improvement District is charging steep annual increases while residents see declining maintenance.
Barbara Reimer and Kenneth Romaine, both from ZIP code 89074, said their neighborhoods received notices showing another 25% increase over the prior year and described dead plants, trees with dead branches and apparent watering problems. Romaine said previous contractor BrightView had been replaced and that the city’s in‑house maintenance has not met expectations.
“I'd be happy to walk with anybody from Public Works to point out some of the issues so that we can at least get the services that we're paying for,” Reimer said.
City staff (Maria Geboia) presented a resolution to set the fiscal‑year 2027 assessment amount at $211.45, payable Dec. 1, 2026, describing it as cost recovery for prior shortfalls and estimated maintenance costs for the upcoming year. Geboia told council the increases are primarily driven by higher labor costs and rising charges from the Southern Nevada Water Authority.
Council members said Parks staff will meet with neighborhood representatives and that Parks personnel will review maintenance plans. Councilwoman Larson moved approval of the resolution and council voted unanimously to adopt it.
The resolution sets the assessment as a recovery mechanism and includes reserve amounts for emergencies; staff said meetings with residents and follow‑up would be arranged to address service complaints.
