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
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.
The thing about cliches is that they take on that status because in each one there is a gem of pure truth.
It’s been nine months and a day since the city announced that Will Gray had been terminated as the fire chief of the Boulder City Fire Department.
In a special meeting last week, the city council voted unanimously to extend a conditional offer of employment to one of three candidates brought forward by a headhunter contracted to find a replacement for former city manager Taylour Tedder, who resigned unexpectedly early this year after just two and a half years on the job.
Boulder City’s leash law and the controversy over the potential for permitted pet breeding within city limits were not the only animal-oriented items on the city council’s agenda for last week’s meeting.
Three hours into a meeting that started with an hour of public comment exorciating the city council for current regulations regarding pet breeding and off-leash dogs, members voted to tie one of those issues up.
The process for choosing a permanent (hopefully, given recent history) city manager is about to take a big step forward as the city council will get a chance to publicly question three candidates in a special meeting on Thursday, Nov. 21.
A contentious election year has come to a close in Boulder City as city council candidate Denise Ashurst has emerged victorious with a nearly 2-1 vote lead over sitting Councilman Matt Fox.
The issue of allowing and permitting the practice of commercial pet breeding in Boulder City has officially moved beyond the city limits.
