Mayor Pro Tem described the role UMC has played in city health priorities and recounted personal family experiences using UMC telehealth and inpatient care. John O’Reilly, speaking for UMC, said the hospital has invested in a major renovation and that the work—he described as the beginning of a multi‑phase effort—has positioned UMC to be the “hub” in a hub‑and‑spokes model for health care in the community. O’Reilly and others named collaborators including county, VA and Air Force partners and credited the UMC board and construction teams for the project.

Council and UMC speakers gave figures for the capital work in remarks. One speaker referenced $60,000,000 invested; another described the project as a $65,000,000 effort. The meeting record contains both figures; city speakers did not reconcile that difference during the remarks.

UMC representatives emphasized telehealth access and recent facility improvements that officials said were intended to improve patient experience and regional medical capacity. Council remarks framed the Medical District as integral to economic and health-care development in Las Vegas, with continued collaboration among local and federal partners.

The recognition was ceremonial and no council action was required. Council members and UMC officials invited public recognition of UMC staff and project partners.

The campaign focuses on public education and compliance with state sterilization signage requirements, and officials emphasized an outreach strategy designed to be friendly and visible rather than punitive.

Rudy Tovar, manager overseeing animal protection services, said the effort grew from a Ward 2 initiative and aims to reduce animal overpopulation and shelter intake by increasing public awareness. Director Tammy Malich said the city opened an art contest to students ages 10–18, received 71 submissions, narrowed entries to 14 finalists, and selected three winning designs that will be displayed in city dog parks and reproduced for rec centers, senior centers, pools and sports complexes.

Deputy Parks Director Pat O’Mara listed parks where signs will be installed. The three winning student artworks and assigned parks are: Kinsey Warren’s “Take a Pause for the Cause” sign for Doug Selby, Children’s Memorial, Bark and Basin and All American dog parks; Madeline Caruso’s spay-and-neuter design for Justice Myer and Lovett JC Community Park, Police Memorial Park, Kellogg Zaire Sports Park and Rancho Oakey Dog Park (opening in about eight months); and Berkeley Garate’s “Avoid a Litter, Spay Your Critter” for Freedom, Dexter, Witter and Centennial Hills parks. Organizers said exact installation timelines are to be determined.

Malich and Tovar thanked participating city departments, the communications and graphics teams, and numerous youth participants. The council presented certificates to winning students and more than a dozen honorable mentions.

Dara Goldsmith, attorney for applicant DTP Management LLC, told the council the property has three letters of intent and is in its third purchase-and-sale agreement turn with a buyer experienced in renovating entertainment properties. Goldsmith said the property also has an extension of an unrestricted nonconforming gaming license from the Nevada Gaming Commission that runs through May 2026 and that resolving an outstanding parking easement is part of ongoing due diligence.

Director of Community Development Seth Floyd recommended denial, saying staff believes a new special use permit process could replace perpetual nonconforming status. Goldsmith and the applicant argued that preserving the tavern EOT would allow a prospective buyer to use the liquor license together with the nonconforming gaming license to assemble a more comprehensive entertainment project on the parcel.

Councilwoman Diaz said she had been lobbied heavily in prior years to retain the use, cited the applicant’s ongoing work and the buyers’ stated intent to preserve the building’s “bones,” and moved to approve a one‑year extension. Council voted in favor; the motion carried.

Staff noted the recommendation for denial in its packet but the council’s vote granted the extension. The council did not record a roll‑call tally in the excerpted record.

Chief Financial Officer Susan Heltzley told council members the loan is structured as a bridge to provide cash flow for a purchase agreement dated Dec. 24, 2024, and will be repaid within 12 months. Heltzley said the city expects to pay back $100,000,000 on or around July 1 after the start of the fiscal year and that the remaining $36,000,000, if needed, would be paid from proceeds of the Cashman sale. She said the loan will be evidenced by an unsecured promissory note and that the Sanitation Fund will receive interest equal to what it would have earned during the period the funds were held.

Heltzley cited administrative authority under NAC 354.29 and NRS 354.6118 for the interfund loan mechanism and said the transaction will not affect sewer rates, which are set by municipal code LVMC 14.04030 and tied to a five‑year CPI average plus preexisting adjustments.

The matter was presented as a public hearing; no members of the public addressed this item during the hearing. Mayor Pro Tem moved to approve the resolution; the motion passed.

Councilmembers asked for clarification on repayment timing and sewer‑rate impacts; staff reiterated the expectation to repay the loan and said sewer rates would not be affected.

City Manager Mike Jensen said the agreement’s “estimated fiscal impact of the agreement is 15,251,860.”

The contract includes multiple wage and benefit adjustments city staff described as the result of months of negotiations and a fact-finding process. Human Resources Director Vince Zamora summarized changes that will affect pay and allowances: a retroactive pay package effective July 1, 2024 that combines a 3.25% cost‑of‑living adjustment and a 1.35% salary increase; elimination of the entry step for the classification group; and adjustments effective July 1, 2025 that include a 2.6% COLA plus a 0.7% salary increase for some salary grades and a 1.6% salary increase for fire suppression classifications, including firefighters, paramedics and captains.

Zamora also reported benefit and allowance changes. The employer contribution to the fire trust will rise from $500 to $515 per pay period. Tool allowances for fire equipment mechanics increase from $360 to $1,500; tool allowances for fire communications technicians and fire equipment service technicians increase from $360 to $750.

City staff said negotiations began in February, reached impasse, proceeded to fact finding in August and a fact-finder report in January before a tentative agreement on Feb. 11, 2025, that the union membership approved. Jensen and Zamora thanked negotiation teams from both sides and legal staff for reaching the agreement.

Mayor Pro Tem moved to approve the contract and the council voted to adopt the agreement; the motion carried.

Implementation details provided by staff include retroactive pay processing and the stated effective dates in the contract. City officials did not provide a roll-call vote tally in the meeting record presented.
