This Week at Council Chambers: Utilities Fun

There’s a special session of the North Las Vegas City Council at 4:30pm, Weds. Mar. 3rd to discuss staffing of city Utilities personnel. Don’t know if that will bring out the Utilities folk and make for another sardeen-like council meeting, but no one can predict these days.
Redevelopment follows at 5:30 where they’ll be looking into [...]

Time to Comment on BLM's Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Vegas Wash

BLM folk will be out and about next week soliciting comments on the draft of their Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on the Upper Vegas Wash. Everyone is invited to attend the meeting and hopefully support either alternative A which sets aside 13,000 acres for stuff such as fossile bed preservation or the BLM’s preferred alternative [...]

We'll Be Murdered in Our Beds!

That was the message North Las Vegas Firefighters and Police brought to council chambers Wednesday night. That is, we’ll be murdered in our beds if council decides to cut personnel from those departments. (KTNV,LVNow,Sun,RJ) Council members seemed surprised by the uprising. The mayor pro temp William Robinson insisted that no one was talking about cuts [...]

County Commissioners Tom Collins, Chris Giunchigliani Don't Like Animal Ordinance

Clark County Commissioners Tom Collins and Chris Guinchigliani have sent letters to Nor’Town City Councilfolk protesting a proposed ordinance designed to regulate the sale of animals in public places. (KTVN)

According to the commissioners, the new ordinance will actually conflict with the city’s own spay and neuter laws. The laws require that animals be “fixed” by [...]

Special and Not-So-Special City Council Meetings Wednesday

A Nor'Town Tree

City Council will be holding court in a special session mostly about Parks and Recreation related matters at 4:30 pm, Weds. Jan. 20, in City Hall, still at Civic Center Drive, North Las Vegas, Nevada. Apparently the protocol for naming parks and buildings is in need of an upgrade, as is the [...]

Stuff-I-Missed Sludgecakes

Others have talking points, quick hits, or gleanettes. Nor’Towners are stuck with Sludge Cakes!

I ddn’t make it to the Wednesday meetings of the North Las Vegas City Council, so we’ll have to rely on the Main Stream Media (MSM) to fill in the gaps:

Council voted for an audit of the “More Cops” account to see [...]

North Las Vegas: What Are Your Priorities?

One topic at a longish meeting of the North Las Vegas City Council last night (Dec. 15th) was an exercise in determining what should be Nor’Town’s primary responsibilities. The idea is to rank services so as make it easier to identify where to snip.

Council and staff spent the weekend and first part of this week [...]

Plug-the-Leaks Days at City Council

Bunch of special sessions with the city council this week as council tries to figure out what happened to the city budget.

You’ll learn (maybe)

why water fees are being diverted to the general fund
why “more cops” funds were (are being?) diverted to the general fund
why self-congratulatory, polyanna assessments of city finances have suddenly become full of [...]

This Ain’t Mikey’s City Council Anymore

The ouster of City Manager Gregory Rose seems to have been a full-out rebellion against the so far short lived reign of mayor Shari Buck.

It was striking that the mayor was unable to cajole even one of her companions on the City Council to vote for Rose. It’s been well known for a while that [...]
