Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Boulder City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
2027 Historic Preservation Day Planning
HP Day returns May 8, 2027 with a $500 budget that members called unrealistic for a bigger event. The commission settled on a water theme and is eyeing partnerships and possibly a new venue to boost turnout.
New Aquatics Complex Design and Seasonal Closure
The city is moving forward with the new pool project, narrowing down construction management candidates and coordinating design work to stay within budget. Other ongoing improvements include pickleball court lighting, turf reduction, and park updates.
2027 Historic Preservation Day Planning & Funding

The Council approved a nearly $750,000 architecture contract to design a permanent replacement for the temporary tented pavilion at Boulder Creek Golf Club, funded by RDA capital outlay.
