Project D.I.R.T.

SPARK is a free respite program for children 3-8 years old who have special needs. The program provides a fun, exciting and safe environment for children to participate in on-site recreational activities including arts and crafts, games, and outdoor play. SPARK offers its participants an opportunity to engage in social play with peers where the objective is to just have fun!
SPARK is modeled after a successful program that has been established in Reno, and is now in its 10th year of operation. One of the unique aspects of this program is that it utilizes local high school students as program staff.  SPARK works with Las Vegas area high schools to provide their students an opportunity to be trained by and then work alongside professional staff, obtain valuable volunteer  hours and gain practical experience with children who have special needs. This is an excellent opportunity for those who wish to pursue careers in education, recreation or other related fields.
The program looks for responsible students, between the ages of 16 and 18, who are willing to offer their time (min. four hours a week for at least one semester) working with children with special needs in a recreation setting. Those students are trained in program planning, disability awareness and behavior management. Qualified professionals will be on-site to supervise and assist students and children participants during program sessions. Student assistants will eventually be responsible for planning and implementing various activities such as arts and crafts, sports activities, and fun educational programs during program sessions.

<A href="http://www.citizencorps.gov/" target=_blank><IMG height=90 alt="Citizen Corps Council logo" src="/images/CitizenCorpLogo.gif" width=120 align=right border=0></A>The city of Las Vegas has established the Las Vegas Citizen Corps Council to coordinate volunteer community safety programs operated by city departments and allied agencies. The Las Vegas Citizen Corps Council serves the city of Las Vegas and collaborates with neighboring jurisdictions in southern Nevada through the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). During his 2002 State of the Union address, President George W. Bush announced the formation of the USA Freedom Corps to foster volunteerism in America. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been charged with the responsibility to administer the Citizen Corps program, a component of USA Freedom Corps. One of FEMA’s main goals is to encourage the development of Citizen Corps Councils in local jurisdictions throughout the country to ensure local government is involving citizens and other entities in  emergency preparedness programs. Citizen Corps Councils are established for specific geographical service areas in order to address the unique needs of each community.
FEMA has identified a number of resident programs and one affiliate program within the Citizen Corps campaign including: 
<UL>
<LI>The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program that helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. CERT members give critical support to first responders in emergencies, provide immediate assistance to victims, organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site and collect disaster intelligence to support first responder efforts. CERT is a program of the Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Department and the Office of Emergency Management; </LI>
<LI>The Neighborhood Watch Program is a highly successful effort which has been in existence for some thirty years in cities across America. It provides a unique infrastructure that brings together local officials, law enforcement and citizens for the protection of communities. Neighborhood Watch is a program of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department; </LI>
<LI>The Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) Program is used by some local police departments, including the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. It utilizes civilian volunteers to supplement their sworn force. VIPS draws on the time and considerable talents of civilian volunteers and allows law enforcement professionals to better perform their frontline duties; </LI>
<LI>The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a new program being established by the Clark County Health District that will coordinate the skills of practicing and retired physicians, nurses and other health professionals who are eager to volunteer during emergency situations. The city of Las Vegas will coordinate with the MRC program to augment the community's Metropolitan Medical Response System developed by the Fire and Rescue Department through the local emergency planning committee; </LI>
<LI>Fire Prevention and Safety programs operated by local fire departments are affiliate programs to the Citizen Corps campaign. The Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Department has estabished a new community-based fire safety program. The heart of the program is a comprehensive 14-page booklet, which addresses fire issues in Las Vegas and suggested fire safety techniques. The booklet is available in English and Spanish and covers such topics as family fire safety planning, posting of house numbers, security bars, types of fire extinguishers, how to report a fire, smoke detectors and what to do if trapped by a fire.</LI></UL>

Citizen Corps Council

The Citizens Fire Academy was initiated in 2000 to help citizens understand the operations of the Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Department and fire services in general. The academy is divided into three areas: classroom participation, tours of facilities and hands-on experience. Citizens learn simple first aid and CPR, get to ride with firefighters during real emergencies and dedicate one day at the Fire Training Center to experience the use of the “Jaws of Life,” handling a fire hose and wearing firefighting protective clothing while going through a simulated building fire.
<DT>
The program is open to anyone, 17 years or older, who is interested in fire service. The program is not designed for people seeking a career in fire services. Although the class provides a good overview, it is general in nature and not as technical as some fire science courses available at the community college.
The academy is divided into two classes. One class meets on Tuesday nights (Class A) and the other meets on Thursday nights (Class B). Students are required to attend only one class per week. Class times are 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
The program includes 10, three-hour classes, a required ride-along for four hours and a six-hour "hands-on" class at the fire training center, for a total of 40 hours. 
The Citizens Fire Academy director is Timothy R. Szymanski, public information officer for the Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Department. Personnel from the Fire and Rescue Department and members of other organizations teach the academy classes. 
The academy is held once each year, February through May. Applications are available during December. Candidates who are selected are notified in January. Classes begin in February.
Effective with the Class of 2004, all applicants must submit to a background check for security reasons. 
If selected, academy participants must understand the following requirements:
<UL>
<LI>Participants in the academy are not members or employees of the Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Department. </LI>
<LI>Participants must sign a waiver releasing the city of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Department of all liabilities while participating in the academy. </LI>
<LI>Participants in the academy are not permitted to cross fire lines during emergencies or at other incidents. </LI>
<LI>The use of any type of emergency warning device on private automobiles by members of the academy is strictly prohibited. </LI>
<LI>There is no cost for attending the academy. During the class, there may be certain costs involved, which are strictly voluntary (such as purchasing a class shirt to use in class and during graduation). </LI>
<LI>Participants are not required to complete activities that make them feel uncomfortable. </LI>
<LI>Citizens will have the opportunity to do a ride-along with a paramedic ambulance crew and an engine company. Minimum time is two hours (or at least two responses), maximum time is six hours. There will be a special schedule to set up for ride-alongs. The calendar will be available each class. The academy director must approve each sign-up. Arrangements made with company officers for additional ride alongs are prohibited. All ride alongs must be approved by the academy director, absolutely no exceptions.</LI></UL>

The Las Vegas Citizens Leadership Academy (LVCLA) is designed to educate citizens who want to increase their knowledge about local government operations and have a desire to become more involved in the shaping and development of their community. 
Participation in the Citizens Leadership Academy is an excellent opportunity to get an in-depth look at the roles and responsibilities of the city of Las Vegas municipal government. Through a series of interactive workshops and facility tours, 25 applicants see first hand how city services work to create livable communities. The academy's workshops also highlight programs and opportunities for residents to get involved with the city to develop creative and insightful solutions to some of the issues facing our community.
The 2007 LVCLA graduated on Wednesday, November 7, 2007. For information on future academies, please call (702) 229-6501.

Brownfields are defined as abandoned, idled or underused properties where redevelopment or expansion is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination.  Brownfields typically occur on or near properties that were used for industrial purposes, such as dry cleaning, chemical production or distribution, manufacturing, and any number of activities that might result in soil and/or groundwater contamination.  Until an environmental assessment is conducted, the property owner, developer or purchaser may not know if the property presents an environmental risk.  The uncertainty associated with a property's environmental liability can slow or stop the development process.  Brownfields redevelopment is a form of recycling urban land, reestablishing previously underused or underdeveloped property as a viable resource.
For more information, please contact A.C. "Stoney" Douglas by <A href="javascript:ContactWin('http://www3.lasvegasnevada.gov/contact/clvcontact.asp?contact=A.C. Stoney Douglas');" Stoney? Douglas?);?>e-mail</A> or call (702) 229-6469.

Retail Assistance Program

The city of Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) is offering Tax Increment Finance (TIF) rebate incentives for high-rise residential, retail, hotel and mixed-use projects located within the Las Vegas Redevelopment Area. The Redevelopment Area consists of approximately 3,800 acres that generally includes downtown Las Vegas, as well as portions of West Las Vegas and along Eastern Avenue. Tax Increment is defined as the increased property taxes generated due to new development on a site. The TIF program uses tax money from the difference in the originally assessed property value and the new, enhanced property value to pay for eligible qualified expenditures. Up to 41 percent of the Tax Increment can be rebated annually to a property developer for eligible qualified expenditures to a construction project. Eligible expenditures may include constructing streets, curbs, gutters, water lines, storm drainage facilities, traffic signals, paving, sidewalks, flood control improvements, utilities, other infrastructure costs and more. While the term for TIF rebate assistance is negotiable, the rebate cannot extend past the life of the agency or more than 20 years. The agency’s maturity date, required by Nevada state law, is in the year 2031.
