Housing that makes sense

Image
The July 26th Regular City Council Meeting was one of the longest we've had since I was elected to serve the citizens of Mesquite.  A contentious item was on the Agenda for a new development located at the southwest corner of Falcon Ridge Parkway and Hardy Way.  The item consisted of an out of town developer who is seeking funding from the County government to build income restricted, or "affordable" apartments.  As we've seen housing costs increase averaging close to double the costs in 2020, pricing many in the service industry out of the market, this concept is well needed in Mesquite.  The Agenda item was limited to Council accepting the developer's presentation, AND, most importantly, directing Staff to draft an agreement giving the developer sole option to buy for the next 90 days. However, I was the sole vote against this for several reasons.  Probably the biggest reason I voted against this is the location of the development.  The City-owned parcel in ques

Mesquite Skatepark

On next week's city council meeting agenda, we will be discussing a skate/bike/scooter park of our own, right here in Mesquite.  The proposed project would be funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Special shout out to the scouts who brought this idea forward at a Council meeting several months ago.  And thank you to Nick Montoya and Travis Anderson with the City of Mesquite for their expeditious efforts getting us to this point! Here is some information on the skatepark in Kanab, UT. https://americanrampcompany.com/projects/kanab-skatepark-kanab-ut/ Kanab, UT Kanab, UT Kanab, UT

Standing Ovation for Local Hero

 Standing ovation for this hero last night at City Council Meeting. From Mike Benham: "In the virgin river cafe, a guy was choking by the time I got to him jeff had started the Heimlich maneuver and was successful in his effort I contacted chief Andrus about giving this award to jeff well deserved. Mesquite has a new hero Jeff Frazier" Well done Mr Frazier! Thank you Mike Benham and Chief Andrus for recognizing this young man.

Officially sworn in

 After some delay, I have been officially sworn in! 2018 was the first election year in Mesquite since Mesquite had a Charter. The Charter does not address when newly elected officials are sworn in. However, precedent was set in 2018 when newly elected Councilors were sworn in at City Hall before the first Tech Review meeting in December. However, this was impossible this year, 2020, as there were not enough members of Council to hold the Tech Review meeting as scheduled. Councilors Rapson and Wursten did not attend, and the seat vacated by newly elected Assemblywoman Black was still vacant. Nonetheless, after conferring with legal counsel, I was determined to be sure City Hall knew they were obligated to seat the newest elected Councilor. It was an honor to have my family with me, and to be there for the swearing in of Mayor Litman's new term.
