Committee backs amendment to CSN Northwest campus agreement, forwards to council

Las Vegas Recommending Committee · August 17, 2026

Summary

The recommending committee voted to forward an amendment to the cooperative campus development agreement between the City of Las Vegas and the Board of Regents (College of Southern Nevada) that updates the land-conveyance date and adds a City Council review mechanism.

The Las Vegas Recommending Committee voted Aug. 17 to forward bill 2026-28 — a first amendment to the cooperative campus development agreement between the City of Las Vegas and the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education on behalf of the College of Southern Nevada — to City Council for consideration on Aug. 19, 2026.

Peter Lowenstein, who spoke for staff, said the proposed amendment "complies with all NRS 278 and title 19 requirements," explaining it updates the date the U.S. government conveyed land to the College of Southern Nevada and adds a review mechanism so City Council can monitor progress on the Northwest campus. Councilwoman Francis Allen Polensky sponsored the bill and moved approval at the recommending-committee meeting.

Jillian Boxhill indicated the required disclosure was sufficient after a committee member noted a teaching relationship with UNLV. There were no public comments on the item. The committee approved the motion to forward the amendment; the City Council will consider it at its Aug. 19 meeting.

The committee did not alter any other provisions of the development agreement, and staff recommended approval. The item was recorded as forwarded without further committee amendments.
