Residents urge volleyball facility, traffic fixes and vacant‑lot cleanups during public forum
Summary
During the meeting's public forum, residents requested a dedicated volleyball facility, a four‑way stop and speed enforcement at a local street, proposed city collaboration on vacant‑lot beautification, and one speaker suggested exploring an NFL franchise for North Las Vegas.
Multiple residents used the city's second public forum on June 3 to raise facility and neighborhood concerns and proposals.
Dominique McCullough, director of the Cincinnati Rebels Volleyball Club, asked the city to consider investing in a dedicated volleyball facility, saying the club spends "thousand dollars a month" on practice space and families travel outside the city for training. The mayor's office directed McCullough to speak with the parks and recreation director following the meeting. Jerry Weismith proposed opening a discussion about pursuing an NFL franchise and voting on a team name, arguing it could boost the local economy.
Other residents asked for traffic safety measures. One caller thanked staff for a newly installed speed sign addressing drag‑racing on Tropical Coleman and requested a four‑way stop at Coleman and Sexton. Gary Bouchard displayed photographs and urged the city to clean and landscape privately owned vacant lots, saying partnerships with local nurseries could improve neighborhood appearance. These comments were received as public input; the council did not make immediate policy decisions on them.
