Public forum: residents urge infrastructure investment, propose homelessness program and raise animal‑services concerns

During the second public forum the council heard a range of community concerns and proposals.

Delta Sarajevic urged the city to invest in basic infrastructure — streets and sidewalks — for a large swath of undeveloped parcels near Revere and Reverend Wilson, saying the lots are privately owned but stalled because owners cannot individually fund full street construction. "This area will really remain stagnant for decades if nothing is done by the city of North Las Vegas to kind of help bring something together," Sarajevic said and asked to follow up with Councilwoman Ruth Garcia Anderson.

Shanita Bryant described a 12‑month program her board proposes for people experiencing homelessness that combines trauma-focused work in the first six months with job‑training and certification in the last six months (options she cited include hospitality, food service, maintenance and IT). Bryant asked whether the city could provide a land grant or a nominal lease for the community benefit; staff said they could not comment during the public forum but offered a staff member to speak with her after the meeting.

Elizabeth Luce, who identified herself as a "lead investigator for the archive mandate" and an independent researcher, made statistical and legal claims about municipal animal‑services protocols, including an asserted municipal allocation of "$32,000,000" to 'legacy protocols,' alleged "100 percent neonatal mortality" and "persistent NRS 5 74 violations." Her statements were presented as public comment; no city staff response or verification was recorded in the meeting transcript.

Other speakers raised neighborhood enforcement and parking questions, commended women serving the city, and delivered broader policy commentary. The forum closed and the meeting adjourned.
