The council managed standard procedural duties by holding public hearings and listening to public comment on diverse topics ranging from historic site preservation to infrastructure development and personal grievances. During the meeting, the council approved a large consent agenda, pulling specific items like advisory board appointments and property leases for individual discussion. Additionally, they noted that mid-year financial impacts, such as the acquisition of new electric fleet vehicles, will be formally reconciled during the fall supplemental budget process.

What was said
1:49:03 Your own staff is telling you that the analysis has not been done. Council should direct staff to complete that analysis before committing to the current design and additional land acquisition, or stop approving developments that add traffic to a corridor your own report say cannot handle it. I'm asking that council do two things, first, before allowing WSU's trips to be absorbed by other development, ensure the county and WSU agree on the disposition of that capacity. A partnership this important should not be ended by oversight. Second, direct staff to complete the operational analysis their own report say is needed before committing to additional right-of-way acquisition and corridor design. Thank you. Caller, you've been sent a request to unmute. Please go ahead and do so, state your name for the record, and go ahead with your comment.
1:50:02 Good morning, council. This is Jackie Lane. I would like to comment on consent agenda number two, appointments, specifically the reappointment of James Housley to Deeb. I believe it is important that people who serve on advisory boards for the county should be people who live in Clark County. They should be a part of the community that they are impacting. Mr. Housley represents clients who stand to benefit from recommendations that Deeb has made, but he is not a part of our Clark County community. He lives in Portland, I believe. Thank you. Caller, you've been sent a request to unmute. Please go ahead and do so, state your name for the record, and go ahead with your comment. Kimberly Goheen-Elbin, we need the name of the first speaker, that man, to be put to the record. He didn't introduce himself. Well, there's nothing like having a 10 a.m. council meeting of the people's business with
1:51:00 a total of 26 consent and separate business items. You will pass, and most of your bosses, we the people, are struggling to pay high gas prices to keep their jobs and food on the table, and the constant inhumane pressure to vaccinate/jab their school children. Put the effort into actually teaching our children instead of dumbing them down. The proclamation for court employees is greatly appreciated, yet as I'm involved with bringing awareness to the public about our broken law and justice judicial system, many of these hard workers, dedicated backbone of the broken system, have a clean conscience, and it's only a matter of time before they speak up about the injustice happenings that occur daily in the superior district and juvenile court system. This sanctuary socialist form of government must get back on track of serving the people with constitutional true justice.
1:51:59 Again, I'm doing my best to bring awareness and welcome all who can help. The proclamation of national corrections officers is also warranted, yet our system here, thanks to the unelected county manager, has deemed our corrections services unaccountable to we the people, and this system is also broken. I know of bad correction officers that do not treat inmates humanely. No accountability as I make weekly complaints as I support and advocate for not only my son, Cleve Goheen Rengo, but all others who suffer unjust circumstances. The mention of bringing back trust in our judicial and corrections system is and will happen as I serve the will of the people to correct a broken system as I inform the people of services, excuse me, of serious issues. My son is held not as presumed innocent, but punished as guilty.
1:52:58 I also question why lead criminal prosecutor Dan Gasparino and lead Clark County public defender Christopher Swaby have both stated to me that they listen to every word I say. I think they want to entrap me or find that I say something wrong, but as I speak what I consider the truth in bringing awareness, I fear not. When my son Cleve is found not guilty, among other actions, we will take to rectify the illegal injustice he has endured. I will also have him take a blood test to get the levels of toxic fluoride and heavy metal such as lead, as I've put on record to this council, and you as the Board of Health of inmates drinking daily fluoridated water through lead pipes, and nothing is being done. I'll tell the people that I hear the judges chamber. >> Thank you for your comments. Is there anyone else? >> That concludes public comment, Chair. >> Okay, great.
1:53:55 Then let's move on to the consent agenda. Are there any items that anyone would like to pull? >> Chair? >> Yes. Go ahead. >> I'd like to pull items four, six, and 13. >> Four, six, and 13. I'd like to pull two. I just have a brief comment. Any other items? Okay. Then I'll entertain a motion to approve consent agenda items one through 20 with the exception of two, four, six, and 13. Is there a motion? >> So moved. >> Thank you. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Moved and seconded. All in favor say aye. >> Aye. >> Thank you.
1:54:46 Now, item two, county council appointments and letters of acceptance, just to respond to the commenter. I have mentioned in the past the need to really look at all of our boards and commissions. We've added some over the years. Their bylaws have changed. There's different requirements for some as far as duration. There's just -- I think it's important to add some continuity to all our boards and commissions and to really look at their scope to see if it is what we want them to be advising us on. It's one of those in part housekeeping chores that we've just needed to keep up with. I think resolving conflicts, it's not clear to me how any of the boards and commissions
