Enterprise Fund Fee Study and Cost Recovery Analysis
The Building and Safety Enterprise Fund is projecting a nearly $3 million operating deficit for fiscal year 2026 due to lower-than-expected permit volumes. Staff is relying on frozen vacancies and deferred revenue accounts while working with a consultant on a fee study to right-size permit fees by fall.
Major Development Projects and Land Resources
A massive 940-acre master-planned community in Ward 6 is moving forward, bringing 6,000 homes, military housing, a new city park, and an economic development parcel. New terms ensure the city has a set timeline to find an economic partner or return the property to the developer.
Clark County Interlocal Agreement & Fire Services Disparity
City officials raised serious concerns over a growing disparity in emergency fire responses, noting that Las Vegas Fire and Rescue answers over 4,000 more calls in unincorporated county islands than the county provides to the city. Because the county has built zero fire stations north of Sahara Avenue, city taxpayers are heavily subsidizing county residents' emergency services.
National CAPRA Accreditation Achieved
City park officials successfully completed their onsite review for national CAPRA accreditation, positioning the department to receive formal national recognition in September.
