District E June 2023 Newsletter

Clark County Nevada sent this bulletin at 06/29/2023 03:05 PM PDT

Dear Residents of District E,

The 4th of July is right around the corner! I hope everyone is able to celebrate safely, while enjoying time with family and friends. It is important to remember that only "safe and sane" fireworks are allowed in Clark County. There is more information in this month's newsletter about fireworks safety.

It looks as if summer has finally arrived with record temperatures! With this in mind, please keep yourself, your family and pets safe by drinking plenty of water, limiting outdoor activities, and staying in cool places.

As usual, we've been very busy in District E with lots more to come. The grand opening of Hollywood Regional Park was a huge success, and we want to thank everyone who participated and celebrated with us. With the first phase of the expansion done, we are now focusing on phase II.

We hope you find the content in this month's newsletter fun and interesting. If you have any suggestions on more of what you would like to see, just let us know.

Please do not hesitate to email me at DistrictE@ClarkCountyNV.gov or call the office at (702) 455-3500, Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. with any concerns you may have.

Hollywood Regional Park Grand Opening!

After much anticipation, phase one of the Hollywood Regional Park expansion is complete and open for your enjoyment. During the grand opening, there were food trucks, face painting and lots of fun giveaways. If you have not already been to the park, you should stop by. It is beautiful. A great big THANK YOU to everyone involved in the planning and construction of the park.

Juneteenth Celebration

On June 10, we had the opportunity to celebrate the Juneteenth Holiday a little early at the Cambridge Recreation Center. There were community partners, paint stations, local vendors, bounce houses for kids, free hair cuts, yummy soul food from Family Soul, and lots of family fun!

BACK-TO-SCHOOL BASH

Safe & Sane Fireworks - June 28-July 4

Fireworks labeled "safe and sane" are the only type of consumer fireworks allowed in Clark County and local cities from June 28 through July 4. With the kickoff of the summer travel and the July 4th holiday under way, Clark County and partnering agencies are asking the public to follow the rules once again regarding fireworks.

All fireworks, including those labeled "safe and sane," are a concern during the spring and summer months when the treat of wildfire is highest in Southern Nevada. Fireworks of any kind are not allowed at Clark County Wetlands Park, local parks, or on public lands in the region including Mount Charleston, Lake Mead and Red Rock Canyon.

The inter-agency "You Light It, We Write It" campaign to educate the public about what's allowed and not allowed - and the penalties if caught using illegal fireworks. Information about the initiative is available at www.YouLightItWeWriteIt.Vegas. Residents are also urged not to call 911 to report illegal fireworks in order to keep 911 free for life-threatening emergencies. Instead, the public is asked to report complaints about illegal fireworks online at www.ispyfireworks.com.

The 1 October Memorial Exhibit

The 1 October Memorial Design Team Exhibit featuring five design concepts for a permanent memorial to remember the events of the Route 91 Festival tragedy is on display in the Clark County Government Center Rotunda.

The public can view models of the proposed concepts in-person at the Government Center Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. The public can also visit the 1 October Memorial Committee's website by clicking here to learn more details about each concept.
