City Council Regular | 2/17/2026 4:00 PM

The City Council of Henderson held a regular meeting on February 17, 2026, which included a significant procurement discussion regarding the award of a construction contract to Las Vegas Paving Corporation for the Stephanie Street reclaimed waterline improvements. The project involves repairing a critical 24-inch steel pipeline integral to the city's reclaimed water system, with an anticipated start in June and completion by September 2027. The contract was awarded following a competitive bidding process, with Las Vegas Paving submitting the lowest bid, approximately $3.5 million less than the next bidder. The council discussed project constraints to minimize public disruption, including night work and lane restrictions, and emphasized the importance of timely completion to avoid sewer system capacity issues and escalating costs. Mayor Romero abstained from voting due to a conflict of interest. Additionally, the council approved several ordinances and appointments, and addressed public concerns related to infrastructure projects and community safety. The meeting also featured public comments on various topics, including support for local law enforcement and discussions about ICE partnerships.
