Mayor and Council, the first part of your agenda is proclamations, commendations, and presentations. Our first item this afternoon is a presentation of the National Association of Clean Water Agencies Platinum 21 Award to the Henderson Department of Utility Services. We'll be asking you to come to the dais as well as the staff. This achievement recognizes 21 consecutive years of 100% compliance with NPDES permits, which help protect water quality and public health. Only 40 21 wastewater plants across the country have achieved 20 years or more of consistent compliance. Congratulations to the entire Department of Utility Services on this achievement and for their consistent, high-performing public service. Please welcome Brian Carlson, Wastewater Operations Manager, to share more about this important recognition. And Mayor and Council, you're invited to the gallery for a photo op with the utility services team. I'm Brian Carlson, I'm the Wastewater Operations Manager for the city. And I'm honored to accept this award on behalf of the amazing folks in the Department of Utility Services. And you'll find these dedicated professionals working everywhere in wastewater operations, water quality lab, pre-treatment, electrical services, field crew, infrastructure support, there's a whole bunch of us. And I mention so many because getting recognized for 21 years of 100% permit compliance is not easy. It requires a whole team, a lot of support, and our common goal though is to treat sewage until it's clean enough that we can return it to the lake or reuse it with Henderson golf courses. So every drop or every gallon that we treat is another gallon that we can take and use. So although not glamorous, We are very proud of the work that we do. The work that we do helps protect the environment and helps us maintain responsible stewardship of our limited natural resources. And so I'd like to thank you for support and taking the time to recognize the work that goes into keeping Henderson's waters safe and clean. So thank you. I feel like we're up here a lot with this group because they do a lot to make sure that our city's residents have clean water to drink. And that's not a small undertaking, as you just described. We are one of the largest cities in the country. And recycling our water is a huge part of our water conservation efforts. It takes a lot of effort to make sure that everything that goes down the drain comes back clean and healthy for us. So we appreciate all that you've done. 21 years in a row, which is huge. Thank you for the work that you do. Thank you for representing us so well. To the entire team, we appreciate the work that you do. Mayor and Council, the next section of your agenda is the City Manager's Report. Good evening, Mayor and Council. I'm proud to share that the City of Henderson has been recognized by the International Economic Development Council as a Silver Level Economic Development Organization of the Year. Henderson was the only municipality of any size in the country to be recognized as an EDO of the Year. Thank you to the Economic Development and Tourism team for all you do to drive our strategic priority of economic vitality for the City of Henderson. I'm also proud to announce that Henderson Fire Chief Scott Vivier has received the designation of Chief Fire Officer from the Commission on professional credentialing with the Center for Public Safety Excellence. This is a testament to Chief Evier's commitment to providing premier fire response and emergency medical services for our city. Congratulations to Chief Evier on becoming one of only just over 2000 CFOs worldwide. As a city committed to public safety, we recognize this week as National Crime Prevention Week. We all play a vital role in building a safer and stronger community. Collaboration among law enforcement agencies, regional partners, city departments, and our own community members allows us to achieve a safer community for all. Thank you to the men and women of our Henderson Police Department for your service. Thank you, Mayor and Council. That concludes this evening's City Manager's Report.

My work for the company is a conflict of interest that could be perceived by a reasonable person to reflect the independence of my judgment on this matter. Therefore, I will abstain from deliberation and voting on this matter.

Thank you. Mr. Ferris. Lee Ferris, 875 West Warren Springs Road, here on behalf of the applicant. I will say my 21 years of land, well, this is the longest list of applicants I've ever had. One thing I just wanted to note, while this is on Boulder Highway, and Boulder Highway is traditionally mixed use, we chose commercial zoning here because of the proximity to the industrial complex. We wanted to ensure residential could never be built on as far. So that's why we chose this. We did put a PUD on top and bring in the mixed use components that were important to the Boulder Highway project. So just wanted to make that note. And with that, we concur with staff's recommendations. Thank you. This item is a public hearing, which I'll now open. Mayor, there is no one in any public hearing queue for this item.

Mayor, members of council, this is a request to amend a master plan with a plan unit development overlay to establish standards for a restaurant with bar within building B and allow indoor sports, recreation, entertainment, golf simulators as a permitted use within the CN zoned portion of the property. The applicant also requests restricted gaming without providing the required 100 dining seats part of the restaurant bar. This is a 5.1 acre site. Staff recommended approval of the restaurant bar but did not support the restricted gaming but the Planning Commission did modify that recommendation and did approve including the five machines along with the restaurant bar. So the request is for approval of this action. Thank you. Anything you'd like to add? Roseanne Mazzell, 89052. Good evening, Madam Mayor and Council members. My name is Roseanne Mazzell and this is my husband, Mark Mazzell. Chip Shots is an upscale golf simulator facility with restaurant and bar. Our vision is to bring something unique to Henderson, a place where families, friends, and the community can gather to enjoy golf, food, drinks, and events in a welcoming and upscale setting. Security and conduct is our utmost priority. When the bar and restaurant are closed, simulator members will have after-hour access via assigned codes, Members will have a strict code of conduct to follow and not adhering will result in suspension of after hour access and or loss of all membership benefits. The bar and gaming area will be secured utilizing roll down security barricades. We're happy to answer any additional questions you may have. Thank you. Council, any questions or comments? I got a couple, so one, I know we spoke previously, this new small business of yours is gonna employ approximately how many people here in Henderson or at your business? Approximately 16 to 25. Okay, and then I know Planning Commission did move for the approval to include those five machines. That is still gonna be, if this were to pass, it's still gonna be subject to Nevada Gaming Control passage, correct? Yes, sir. Okay, and then Mr. Dicker, if you could add some of the concerns that we talked about with if it were to be approved, which is where I'd like to go, how we would wall off some of the stuff, the gaming machines, et cetera, with respect to being open 24 hours, because part of this business is gonna be 24 hours, part of the restaurant bar is not, is that correct? That is correct. Can you weigh in a little bit? Yes, yes I can. There's been some discussion during briefings and our staff met with the applicant last Thursday and finalized some plans this morning. And there was some clarification for business licensing and community development to ensure that the bar area, including the gaming machines, would be totally walled off to allow the members after hours beyond the restaurant bar. So the recommendation is to amend condition 23D. It'll still keep in there. The golf simulators may be open 24 hours. The next sentence will be deleted, and we propose to add, prior to the issuance of a building permit for the interior remodel, the applicant shall submit detailed plans demonstrating how the bar area and any gaming machines will be physically secured to prevent customer or member access during all hours when the restaurant bar is not in operation. The method of securing these areas shall be subject to review and approval by the Business Licensing Division, and the Community Development Services Department. All right, so I know there's going to be more discussion, but if I were to make a motion, I would want to include what you brought up as far as being able to wall it off. And the other thing is, if you tell me it's allowable, is it's a very narrow scope, this business. It's golf simulator, sort of restaurant bar. It sort of doesn't quite fit in our code. So if we were to approve it, what I would ask is that not that I don't want you to be successful, but for unforeseen reasons, you are unsuccessful, that whoever comes into your business after would have to come back to the City Council because of the machines and everything else like that. Does that sound right? So what I'm hearing is you're trying to make a case that this is unique because the floor plan does have golf simulators part of the the floor plan the business operation what you can do is something similar what you did previously in this shopping center when you approved the 24-hour use for the drive-through you actually conditioned the power soul cafe upon the change of that tenant that they would have to come back to city council so just some Rough wording here, and I'm gonna ask Nick to help me out. We can add a condition. The restaurant with bar shall include golf simulators as shown on the floor plan. Upon removal of the golf simulators, the restaurant with bar with modified standards shall be reviewed by City Council to reevaluate the gaming machines prior to continuation of any other restaurant with bar. Yes, thank you. Keep that handy. Councilman Seabock just addressed all of my concerns and to confirm it is because this is a unique business that is why I will be supporting it. But it is because it's unique. It is different than what we have in your typical restaurant bar. Anything else? May I have a motion? So I'll make the motion with those conditions upon the change of tenant that the golf simulator business and the restaurant bar upon review would come back for the machines would come back to the city council, correct? So in other words, approve what was put forth by planning commission as well as the given circumstances about the review should this business not be successful that they have to come back to reapply for the Machines, yes. And what I would suggest is that the second condition I just read would be condition 23F. Yes, to include conditions 23F. Am I good with that? Yes. There's a motion on the floor by Councilman Seabach. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? All members voted in favor of the motion made by Councilman Seabach and it carries. Item 27, changes to system development charges and non-residential rates, potable water, reclaimed water, raw water, and wastewater, and the recommendation is to approve. Good afternoon, Mayor and Council. Priscilla Howell, Director of Utility Services here at the City of Henderson. I'm here to present the proposed rate changes that came out of our updated cost of service study recommendations to keep the utility systems financially sufficient and keep our levels of service. And I know you've heard about it for about two months now. It's been available to the public, so I'll keep it short, but you know we like to talk about our utility, so. Through the utility, the city provides potable, reclaimed, and wastewater services. The water and sewer systems are valued at more than $4.4 billion and operate 24 hours a day, $365,000. days a year with 350 FTEs. Our annual operations and maintenance budget is approximately 170 million and we spend an average of 50 to 55 million dollars on capital projects. As a reminder, the water and sewer funds are enterprise funds, which means they do not receive any property tax or other contributions from the general fund. And our revenues come from our user fees and need to be spent only on water sewer specific endeavors. We have more than 115,000 meters through which we delivered nearly 30 billion gallons of water, and we have thousands of miles of pipe through which we collected more than 9 billion gallons of wastewater last year. We maintain and comply with multiple permits, and we've received numerous awards and accreditations from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, which we got tonight, the American Public Works Association, and the Water Environment Federation. This is the only chart that I have. I have some tables, but I know we've been accused of having too many charts before. So, the stacked bars on this chart show the major categories of uses of funds, so our operations and maintenance, our debt service, and our capital projects. And the green line, which looks a little darker here on this screen, shows the total sources of funds, which are primarily our user fees. The yellow bars demonstrate our capital investment needs to invest more in our aging infrastructure through rehabilitation and replacement. The takeaway from this slide is that over the past 15 years, the city's been able to relatively well align our expenses and revenues through increases that were below the CPI. But looking ahead, we need to adjust our rate structure slightly to meet capital investment needs, which are shown in yellow, and maintain our service levels. Primary considerations with rate adjustments are always to ensure that our system remains reliable and redundant and the costs are spread equitably. We work hard to balance the need to keep the utility financially sustainable with our customers' abilities to plan and incorporate any changes to the rate structure. During our last rate review, Council asked us to investigate tying the rate increases to CPI in order to align with actual cost increases. And in the next couple slides, I'll walk through how we did that and how the proposed non-single family residential rates that we're talking about tonight align with the current single family residential rate structure. As you know, there's a fixed and a variable or volume based component to our water bill. The fixed component of the bill is based on meter size and is used to help recover infrastructure investments. In order to be equitable among all classes, our non-residential meters will be aligned with our residential meters starting January 1st, 2026. The tables within this presentation are estimated rates based on this CPI water sewer trash from September of 2024, because the actual rates that'll apply for 2026 aren't available for another six weeks. The variable portion of our water bill is based on how much a customer uses in each of the four tiers or rate blocks, and those rates will all increase annually by CPI starting January 1st, 2026. Annually for the next five years, we're also recommending a 2% reduction to tier two and tier three thresholds in order to help bring the tiers into a more balanced and equitable range. The lower table shows the impact on a three inch meter, and we know it's 2%, it's pretty negligible, we think even from the customer perspective, perspective, in this example for a three inch meter, the customer would only be able to use 470,000 gallons in tier two before moving into tier three, which is a change of 12,000 gallons. So there's still a lot of water in each of the tiers. And we did not reduce tier one because we wanted to, we didn't want to impact our customers who were already using that lowest, lowest level. On the sewer side, our sewer bills are a little bit more straightforward. They include a fixed and variable component, and both of which we're recommending be increased by CPI in January of 2026 and thereafter. We're also proposing annual CPI-based increases for our raw and reclaimed rates effective January 1, 2026. And for the raw water. This rate's applicable to raw water customers and funds the charges that are regional infrastructure, commodity, and reliability charges that the city has to pay to SNWA. It goes into effect in 2027, and as with all the other changes, it will also be increased annually by CPI. The system development charge is the last change that we're proposing, and this is the charge that enables us to have growth pay for growth. The increases are spread out over the next few years to be more easily absorbed by the new development, and that was something that the home builders requested during our last rate increase process. The rate increases by about 3.5% for water and 4% for wastewater over the next three and four years, respectively. So I know this is probably not a surprise because I mentioned we've been talking about it for a while. We started our cost of service study and rate modeling about a year ago, and then we published our proposed rates in July and had a public comment period. During that public comment period, we got no comments, we've gotten no phone calls and no questions, and the business impact statement was approved by Council in August. And so that brings us to September for your consideration and any last minute questions that you may have. Thank you. Are there any questions or comments? Thank you for working on this. This is something that the building trades asked us to do to be more consistent so they can kind of anticipate what increases will be over time. So I appreciate you listening and then doing the work needed to make sure that it was fair and equitable across all users. So thank you for that. With that, may I have a motion, please? Councilman Stewart, move to approve. There's a motion on the floor by Councilman Stewart. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? All members vote in favor of the motion made by Councilman Stewart and it carries. The next section of your agenda is bills to be read in title unless an item is pulled for discussion. Council will take action on all bills to be read in title with one motion. As a reminder, item 33 has been continued.

Mayor, we have one person in the second public comment queue, Mr. Michael Sams. Good day. My name is Michael Sams. I live in 1909, Evelyn, 89011. Last time I was here, I tried to be civil, and I went for silence, because silence is golden, and silence has a thousand meanings. Do people want to actually hear me talk? I have one question. Can you hear me? Because if you can't hear me, we need to turn up the volume. So, did you hear me? Well, so I'm talking to people who can't hear. Very good. I was here two sessions ago and a council member blew up. I'd like to help you look at your mathematics on that because I know a whole lot about math. I've corrected teacher's guides and advanced algebra. You may have something going for you. You have four enemies up there voting against you so they didn't lose nothing. I don't understand. Maybe you can comprehend. Somebody comprehends because you voted against a woman, I believe, that she's the one who lost anything. That means everybody else gained somehow. And I'd like to go through the numbers. Please get in contact with me. You people may not understand, so I'm, oh wait, wait, how do I explain this? Oh, I've had to tell people before. You may not know you're ignorant, so I wish to inform you of such. because obviously I can't leave you to remain ignorant. But your courts are corrupt. Your public defenders, which you pay to defend me, a citizen, do not do their job properly. And we're going to work on that. I have nothing else to do with my life but to come here. I expect somebody to talk to me. I'm looking for a local remedy before I have to do a 1983, which is all kinds of confusing and I may have to do anyway just to do it. I'm gathering information. The councilwoman who I was talking about earlier, believe me, ma'am, I can do math and we can figure out what's going on today, tomorrow, and when the time of the election comes and find out if you're still up and up. Remember, you've got four enemies. But this police department, lies the prosecution promotes the lies and i'll show all this in court document i know you don't care i know you will do nothing about it but when the time comes the city is responsible my dog bites somebody it's my fault your dog bites somebody it's your fault all right that's the simple facts i've been bitten too many times i'm fed up with it i am not going to lay down and lick my ovaries and I'm about done talking to you people. I'll be back, thank you. No one else in the queue, Mayor. With that, I'll adjourn the regular meeting at this time.
