Lot’s o’meetings coming up this week at City Council.
To start off, there’s the Redevelopment Meeting at 5:30 pm Weds, Feb. 3 over at city hall, 2200 Civic Center Drive, North Las Vegas, Nevada.
After that, there’s the regular meeting at 6 pm, same place, where there’s all sorts of fun:
- Council will be taking up that animal ordinance which will regulate, but not ban, the outdoor sale of animals. Clark County Commissioners Tom Collins and Chris Guinchigliani favor an outright ban, but the folks out at Broadacres Swap Meet prefer the current, more toothless ordinance because a ban would shut down the Puppy Torturing Booth, which is a real hit with the kiddies. Okay, I may have made up that bit about the Puppy Torturing Booth, but, heck, just how much enforcement do we really expect from the Byzantine current proposal? Might was well open up a Puppy Torturing Booth.
- The Capital Improvement Plan for the next few years will be up for review. I suspect the list of new projects will be kinda short.
- Council will be paying out more settlement money, this time $300,000 to Jeffrey Smith, for civil rights violations at the corrections center. You know, if the city’s going to keep that up, they might as well set up a Civil Rights Violation Booth at the Swap Meet, too.
The meetings don’t end there, though. There will be at least one budget retreat over at the Alexander Library – 1755 West Alexander Road, North Las Vegas – on Thurs, Feb. 4, at 5 pm. However, if we’re really good boys and girls, they might have one on Fri., Feb. 5th, too. Items include “program elimination and organizational restructuring,” which is a nice way of saying fewer services and staff lay-offs.
I expect you’ll have to elbow some city folk out of the way if you’ll want a seat. And bring some of them air horns, too, in case anybody starts to drift off.
