How involved have you been in city government this year? If you’ve never been involved, perhaps you would like to make it your New Year’s resolution. On Tuesday, Jan. 2, you’ll have your first chance to give it a try by attending the City’s first Technical Review Meeting (TRM) of 2018.
Technical Review Meetings are held bi-weekly, the week before City Council Meetings and are designed to give city council members an opportunity to discuss detailed planning and technical issues. The meetings provide the council with information, the opportunity to identify particular issues and resources to understand proposals associated with the planning and development of your community before passing those agenda items on to regular City Council Meetings.
Attending regular TRMs provides community members with an understanding of how City Council decides to spend your dollars. It gives the public a chance to identify concerns, research agenda items and give your opinion, via public comment, on the decisions your City Council makes about your community.
Some of the agenda items for Tuesday’s meeting will cover the bid for the Airport Sewer Line Extension Project and consideration of approval to authorize a seven year Airport Use Agreement with Mespeck LLC with the option for a 10-year renewal to lease “Ground Lease” for Hangar No. 10.
You’ll have the chance to hear the quarterly report from the Clark County School District Associate Superintendent, the chance to see the presentation of awards for the Parade of Lights winners and to the C.E.R.T. team leader; you can even witness the proclamation of National Radon Action Month in Mesquite.
Getting involved in your city government gives council members a chance to hear your input on the growth and development of your community.
For more information on what’s happening at the bi-weekly TRMs check out the city’s website www.mesquitenv.gov and click on meetings and agendas. For information on when TRMs and City Council Meetings are scheduled, check out the community calendar each week in the MLN.
Don’t forget to send all of your 2018 events to terin.bbm@gmail.com so community members know what’s going on which can help increase attendance at your meetings or events.
