Im christine maddela. Im john huck. It was a big day for the little known Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure committee. Its members took major votes on both the proposed stadium and raising taxes for more cops thats where we begin. Fox5s Cyndi Lundeberg joins us now live on the strip to explain how much in taxes.

Clark county is growing by three to four thousand people a month along with Record Number of tourists. And Police Staffing hasnt kept up. Sisolak and they want a visual presense on lvbld standing patrolling making tourists feel more comfortable the cost of the new officers would come from a point one percent sales tax increase. Law enforcement focus would be the strip from russell to the stratosphere. Along fremont from main to north eighth. And west on flamingo to include the gold coast and rio. So were going from 153 to 273 present on las vegas blvd its an enormous increase sisolak the remainder where the sheriff thinks theyre needed the most Sheriff Joe Lombardo presented the plan. Along with maps of the targetted areas thursday.

Previously, sheriff lombardo told fox5 more officers. Would help combat the recent spike in violent crime. Sisolak it will go a long way i dont think we culd ever have too Many Police Officers sisolak it will make progress with the staffing issues no it obiously takes aot more to solve everything boulder city. Henderson. North las vegas. Mesquite and metro police would all be a part of the plan. For comissioner steve sisolak. Its a no brainer. Sisolak i think youre goin to notice more officers not the one percent in sales tax the clark county Crime Prevention act now goes to the county commission. They will hold a public hearing and debate the proposal before a final vote. Reporting live cl ffnnll nfl stadium proposal was voted on today. And when the committee asked the sheriff about staffing the games. He said the money to pay for those officers would not come from his budget. It would be up to the team to pay the officers. Now more on the stadium proposal. The same committee unanimously approved it. Which means we are a step closer to a professional Football Team in las vegas. The stadium will cost nearly two point billion dollars. 750million of that will come from public funding. Which will be financed by a hotel room tax. It also includes infrastructu raiders would contribute 500 Million Dollars. Todays vote was a big step for stadium supporters. But for the stadium to become reality and the raiders to become the home team, there are still a few obstacles ahead. Next up, state lawmakers have to get on board, and the clock is ticking. Touchdown, raiders september 15. The Committee Gave the stadium proposal plan the green headed to the governors desk in carson city. peplowski you still have a tough road, you still have to get to the legislature and get them to agree that public funding is a good idea, particularly in a state where the public is so anti taxation and anti Govt Spending so governor sandoval will decide when to call a special session, but that decision is less football, more political. When they get called into special session, for the next 30 days they cant raise any money and 42 of these 63 are up for reelection cant fundraise before or after the special session, so thats problematic around november eighth election day. The gov could hold off until just a day or two before the election, or even after, but if he does it after, theres agoing to be a brand new legislature at that special session voting. And thats also cutting it close because the developers then have to put together a proposal to the Oakland Raiders before the nfl owners vote for a team relocation. That happens in mid january. 24 of the 32 team owners would have to vote for the Oakland Raiders to become the las vegas raiders. The nfl can start working on the vote in january, if we vote for this vote in november, the nfl can say, well, lets wait and see what happens. But i think theyll understand the politics of it there is a possibility the state lawmakers could decide they dont want to be a part of the process, and send the vote back to the committee for a decision. And to stay in the know about all the developments with the nfl stadium. Download the fox five app. Hey reb fans may soon be in for a big surprise.
