Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Boulder City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Historic Water Filtration Plant Restoration
The restored 1931 water filtration plant needs a long-term use, and public feedback strongly favors a water museum. The commission is working through restrooms, lighting, ownership records and accessibility before making a recommendation to the City Council.
Police Department Carport Canopy COA
The city wants to shade its police vehicles and new EV chargers at the 1932 Spanish Revival police station, a contributing Historic District building. The commission found the modern canopy meets historic standards and approved it unanimously.
Buchanan Boulevard Improvements and RTC Infrastructure Funding
The RTC is putting $100,000 toward designing upgrades along Buchanan from Elm to Adams — new pavement, sidewalks, ramps, drainage, and utility work. Design now; construction comes later.
Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan and Project Timing
The city has outlined 48 capital projects for the upcoming year totaling $43.8 million, covering everything from utility upgrades and road maintenance to the construction of the new municipal pool.
Redevelopment Grant for 803 Industrial Court
The RDA awarded over $83,000 in commercial grants to three local properties to support life safety upgrades, business expansion, and vintage sign improvements.
Public Works & Utilities Annual Department Report
The department's annual report covered 74 active projects, the nearly finished Aquatic Center, dark-sky lighting, turf reduction, and upcoming intersection and flood control work. Residents will see construction on Avenue G, the Buchanan-Adams and Buchanan-Veterans Memorial intersections, and continued road maintenance planning.
SNWA Effluent Reuse Feasibility Study
Mayor Hardy flagged that fixing Boulder City's wastewater effluent issues could cost more than $200 million — money the city doesn't have — and said regional discussions are underway to find solutions.
