And for our first item, Councilwoman Seaman will recognize our citizen of the month. Councilwoman, thank you, Madame Mayor. Good morning. Good morning. I'm thrilled to celebrate not only an outstanding community leader, but also a cherished friend, Carol Adams Hatter, as the city of Las Vegas citizen of the month of June. Would you want to come on up Carol? Carol is a shining example of what it means to dedicate your life to service, especially when it comes to the future of our youth. For more than two decades, she has worked tirelessly to build and grow one of Las Vegas most iconic and impactful sporting events, the NBA Summer League. What began as a modest idea has through her vision and determination evolved into a premier showcase that brings together the best rising talent in basketball, energizes our local economy, and most importantly inspires young people in our community to dream big. But Carol's work doesn't stop at the court. Her true passion lies in education. She has been a driving force in creating and expanding charter school opportunities across our city. Carol believes deeply that every child deserves access to a quality education no matter what their zip code. Her efforts have opened doors for countless students, helping them access the tools, support, and environment they need to succeed. I've had the privilege of watching Carol lead with great strength and an unwavering commitment to doing what's right for our children. She's never one to seek the spotlight, but but today we're putting her where she belongs. Carol, your impact on this city and more importantly on the lives of so many young people is immeasurable. You have been a mentor, a role model, and a fierce advocate for our youth. On behalf of the city of Las Vegas, congratulations on being named our June citizen of the month. We are grateful for you. We are proud of you and we are better because of you. Oh my god. Thank you. Can I have this? So, I want to present you with something and then I would like you to say a few words. Okay. So, first of all, this is from the city.

[Applause] And for our final ceremonial item today, Councilwoman Brudy will recognize three community heroes. Councilwoman, good morning everyone and thank you, Mayor, for uh allowing me this little indulgence. Um at this time, I'd like to call up to come up and join me Christopher Heisman. Aldo Kintterero and Barry Bowzanir to join us up here, please. And is Sherry Warren here? Can you come up too, please? Miss Warren. And do you want to bring your little bring your It's a family affair. And James, if you could come up to you, please. So today we are pleased to be able to recognize some community heroes. Monday, April 28th, 2025 started out like any other day in Sher Warren's household. Given that it was a CCSD staff development day, she and her foster children were at home sleeping in, eating breakfast in their pajamas, and catching up on school work. Around 1:30 p.m., Sherry Warren's mother, Ella Mitchell, who suffers from high blood pressure, had a medical episode, and suddenly became unresponsive. Sherry and her kids called 911 several times and only heard music with no answer from an operator. Not knowing what to do and not able to reach anyone through 911, Sherry instinctively ran outside calling for help, hoping that one of her neighbors would hear her calls for plea and answer. And on that morning, a group of workers from American Pavement Preservation, who had been contracted by the city of Las Vegas to do some of the asphalt and paving work, um they were working on Sherry's block. Christopher, Aldo, and Barry were minding their own business and getting the job done, probably already feeling the intense Las Vegas heat when they heard Sherry's desperate calls for hope, for help. Without thinking twice, they rushed over. They picked up Sherry's mother, Mrs. Mitchell, and carried her and placed her in Sherry's vehicle so she could rush her to the hospital. Sherry then rushed her mother to the hospital, burning out her car's engine in the process. Luckily, Sherry's mother, Miss Mitchell, is back home. God bless. On that morning, Christopher Heisman Linto, and Barry Bozanir arrived at work like any other day, working to provide for their families. But on that day, they left as heroes and had an impact that is immeasurable. They saved a life.

Um I'm here speaking today on behalf of myself and a few of my neighbors with regard to the street vendors that have um become a a fixture in our area. Um well, first of all, I'd like to begin by um uh specifically addressing our uh city council person and inviting her uh cooperation or collaboration to work on area beautifification in the enchanted village area. Um, but specifically there is a sanitation issue surrounding many of the street vendors that are in our neighborhood. There's one that specifically um resides on the corner of Lilyut Lane and uh Arville. And if the city uh sends their streets and sanitation people by, they will notice not only is there um uh sort of a scarring on the the sidewalk, there's a a sort of present odor that's in that area where the street vendors typically are or where that particular street vendor is. And so when we walk in our neighborhoods now on that specific corner, we are accosted by this odor and we can see the the permanent scars of the the street vendors. And so we would ask that the city send street and sanitation more frequently to address the the areas or the the the remnants left by the street vendors or require them to better clean up after themselves. Uh we've had to call the streets and sanitation multiple times to request removal of litter and other things that are left behind by patrons who go to the street vendors. And so, um, I'm just here today to ask for a little more v vigilance in regard to, um, making sure that our neighborhoods stay and maintain their character. The street vendors are welcome, of course. Um, but if there is a better way to to keep the character of our neighborhood by keeping the cleanliness and sanitation, we would welcome that. Uh, thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. Thank you as well. Have a lovely day. Agenda item 46, council emerging issues.

And after months, maybe a year plus months work in preparation, Commissioner April Becker and I hosted a Knoxbox town hall in Sun City, Summerland. It was a packed house standing room only as the program was rolled out and introduced to residents. A big thank you to Mary Fairhurst and Sun City Summerland's neighborhood preparedness team as well as neighborhood services director Arcelia Barahas, Las Vegas Fire Chief Gray, Deputy Fire Chief, excuse me, Deputy Fire Marshal Rick Rosierre, Clark County Fire Chief Billy Samuels, and Chaz Wolf from Knoxbox uh for being a part of the program, attending the event, and answering the limitless questions from my Sun City residents. I'd also like to thank Ward 4 staffer Sarah Bureick for her tireless effort including countless emails, phone calls, in the evenings, in the middle of the night, in the early mornings, uh, and all the communications it took to host the town hall successfully. The Knox box is a valuable tool that helps first responders quickly, assists seniors living alone and allows them to access their homes without causing damage. So, the home remains secure if the resident needs to be transported to the hospital. I'm so excited to see how positively impactful these boxes will be for my seniors in Sun City Summerland.
