During the public hearing, the council approved technical updates to the 2026 Clark County Stormwater Code and Manual to align with state environmental standards. The open public comment period was largely dominated by residents opposing the appointment of Richard Mahar to the regional library board over concerns about censorship, equity, and his lack of support for library funding. Additional public comments addressed the Interstate Bridge Replacement project, with residents advocating for more vehicle lanes and opposing light rail, as well as general grievances with the local justice system.

What was said
33:16 But you guys need to do better for our hard earned tax dollars and think these things through instead of going along with an agenda. Yes, state your point. Doesn't sound like this caller is speaking on the agenda item. It sounds like she's just got a gripe against local government. So-- Kimberly, if there's more you would like to say related to the stormwater permit, you're welcome to proceed. Otherwise, you can-- Well, thank you so much. And it doesn't surprise me that Will Fuentes interrupted with something stupid. But with that said, I was on task because you are the government, and you are putting forth this agenda. And what's wrong with me telling you that you might be doing it wrong? So get ready to get some fire and some-- Chair, point of order. What was it? I don't think she realized what she's-- Kimberly, you can hold your comments
34:12 for open public comment, and we could cut that off. Thank you. Anyone else? That concludes public comment, Chair. OK. Are there any further questions or comments from the council? And if not, I'll entertain a motion to approve ordinance-- oh, yes, go ahead, Councilor Young. Just a quick comment. I did want to thank staff for working hard on this. And I appreciate the conversations with Deeb and with the Planning Commission. And it makes me feel really good when I get a unanimous recommendation from the Planning Commission. It really says that the process went well, that input was considered, and changes were made to make the plan as good as it could possibly get. So just wanted to thank staff for the great job on this. Thank you. OK, if no other comments or questions,
35:12 I'll entertain a motion to approve ordinance number 2026-06-16. So moved. Second. Moved and seconded. All in favor, say aye. It's a roll call, Chair. Oh, roll call, that's right. Thank you. Councilor Young? Aye. Councilor Belcott? Aye. Councilor Fuentes? Aye. Councilor Little? Aye. And Chair Marshall? Aye. Motion carries. Thank you. OK, now we're moving on to open public comment. Public comment on consent and separate business items. And just to remind folks, you're limited to three minutes. And according to our rules and procedures, comments should address county business and not make statements on the private activities, lifestyles,
36:11 or beliefs of others. This includes elected officials, staff, and members of the public. And it also includes any disruptive behavior, disparaging, or unreasonable behavior. You may be asked to stop. And it may result in the council taking a recess.
36:36 OK, I just got this note. If anyone is wearing any campaign items, they should remove those items. So we cannot have any electioneering in public facilities. So I'm not aware of anyone. But thank you, Councilor Young, for that note.
