Nonprofit status revoked

Despite marketing itself as a nonprofit organization, the Boulder City History & Arts Foundation is operating under a 501(c)3 status that was revoked by the IRS in 2015.

The foundation was formed that same year, according to its website, when the Historic Boulder City Foundation and Friends of the Arts joined together. The newly formed group would work under the latter’s existing nonprofit status.

According to the list of charitable organizations on irs.gov, the Friends of the Arts status was automatically revoked Nov. 15, 2015, for not filing the required financial information with the IRS for three consecutive years.

The group is responsible for the annual BC’s Got Talent show, the recent murder mystery “Gun Crazy” and the historic roof tile project from the old water filtration building on Railroad Avenue.

Boulder City History & Arts Foundation did not respond to the Boulder City Review’s requests for comment or clarification.

New hearing set for driver in fatal crash on parkway

A new status check hearing has been scheduled for Joshua Buckingham, the driver involved in a fatal crash on Boulder City Parkway in March.

Buckingham has been charged with one count of reckless driving with death or substantial bodily harm to other person and pleaded not guilty in Boulder City Justice Court before Justice of the Peace Victor Miller.

Witnesses said Buckingham has been traveling at more than 100 mph and was making frequent lane changes before the crash that killed a 58-year-old Henderson man. On Tuesday, May 14, a representative of Buckingham’s new attorney, Michael Lee Becker, asked for another status check hearing in 30 days.

Adam Solinger said he worked for Becker and had received an offer from the state that he needed to discuss with Buckingham, who was not present and lives out of state.

Miller agreed and set the hearing for 1 p.m. June 11.

By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

Over the past week, city staff has been touting (via social media) new exterior design guidelines for properties in the Historic District. The guidelines were adopted by the Historic Preservation Commission back in May of this year.

Council votes unanimously to remove fence
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

Getting a permit for something like a fence in your front yard may seem like a contrivance. Intrusive government and all that. But, here’s the deal, deciding to bypass that step may end up meaning you have to tear that fence out at your own expense.

City Council defies SNWA
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

In what came as a bit of a surprise to some observers, the city council voted unanimously this week to move forward with a turf reduction program at the Municipal Golf Course that will see the facility use about 20% more water than allowed under their own ordinance passed in 2022.

Utilities director outlines state of compliance
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

In scheduling that some might call ironic, immediately after approving a plan that would see the Municipal Golf Course continue to use 20% more water than allowed by law, the city council heard a presentation from Utilities Director Joseph Stubitz in which he outlined just how serious the drought is and how the city is working to comply with state law by removing turf from city parks and from areas surrounding city buildings.

It may sound like a riddle, but Pat Richardson is not a police officer yet he works for the department. He doesn’t seek out illegal activities, but he can issues citations.
