None of the People Living in the efforts to bring an nfl team to las vegas. The Stadium Committee is expected to vote on the 1. 9 billion dollar proposal that would be the home field for the raiders and the rebels. 13 action News Reporter Bryan Callahan has a closer look at as the stadium comittee looks to pass it up the field to governor sandoval. After months of talk. And hundreds of pages of documents. The debate over the proposed 1. 9 billion dollar stadium is boiled down into three issues on eight pages. The biggest. Is a proposal that developers have termed a non starter. That is the plan to limit the public contribution to 39 percent of the total cost of the stadium. With current estimated cost of 1. 9 billion dollars. Dollars. That is the amount developers are asking for from the increased room tax. The issue would be if the project comes in under that number. Say 1. 5 billion. That would drop the public contribution to 585 million. Well below the 750 Million Developers have insisted upon since the beginning. Developers say it is hard to pin down the exact cost. Because the location has not been solidified. Also in that proposal. The committee is asking the developers to cover infrastructure costs as well. Make up of the board that would oversee the stadium. Mayor Carolyn Goodman is asking that the city of las vegas has a representative on the stadium authority. The final issue. Is a request the stadium and raiders be exempted from any new or increased ticket or other tax imposed on the stadium project. While many are expecting a vote from the committee tomorrow. They ould put the decision off for up to two weeks. Bryan callahan, 13 action news. Tomorrow. Is the first big step. Into getting the ball but. Even if it all goes through. Theres still.
