Hali Bernstein Saylor/Boulder City Review
The splash park in Veterans’ Memorial Park remains quiet earlier this week as it was closed for repairs. The surface had to be resealed, which will extend its lifetime by about five years. Work should be completed by Friday, and the park is scheduled to reopen Saturday, when temperatures are expected to approach 105.

BOULDER CITY REVIEW
Without any discussion, the city council Tuesday approved a 15-home subdivision as part of a single vote on the consent agenda.
As part of the consent agenda in Tuesday’s meeting, the city council agreed to add about $140,000 to the amount previously agreed to be paid to GCW, Inc. for management, engineering, design and support services for two projects in Boulder City.
Rising costs continue to bedevil city plans for replacing and upgrading infrastructure. The latest example is related to efforts to upgrade Boulder City’s electric utility service as the cost estimates of Substation 3 soared by 141% and the scheduled completion date was pushed out by three full years.
A proposed energy storage facility got a second bite at the apple last week as the city council voted unanimously to forward a new application for a different and smaller plot of land for the project to the planning commission for possible addition to the city’s land use plan.
This year’s State of the City address by Mayor Joe Hardy had a new title but continued many of the same themes of teamwork as last year, with a lot more emphasis on the recognition of others.
Last week, the city officially put the word out that it is in the beginning stages of hiring a new fire chief.
It took more than a year, but the owners of the Leafy Latitude cigar bar on Nevada Way finally got their liquor license approved last week.
In less than a week, Denise Ashurst will be sworn in as Boulder City’s newest council member. And she’s ready and eager to do so.
