UNLV School of Medicine proposal boosted

Clark County commissioners on Tuesday approved two deals aimed at helping medical education in Southern Nevada, including the development of the UNLV School of Medicine in Las Vegas.

Officials signed off on a memorandum of understanding with the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, that reserves the county’s property at 625 Shadow Lane for development of the school of medicine. The county property, at the southeast corner of Shadow Lane and Pinto Lane, is the former site of the health district.

Commissioners also approved a lease deal that will allow University Medical Center to lease real estate to the medical school.

Under the agreement, UMC will lease 8,610 square feet at 2231 W. Charleston Blvd. to the school of medicine. The one-year lease has no rent for its first year. After the first year ends and if the lease is extended, the rent would be $15,067.50 a month. The school will relocate its internal medicine and surgery resident clinics to the space.

The Board of Regents plans to vote on the agreement Friday.

City’s pet licensing proposal still in limbo
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

As the proposal to allow for a license for pet breeding, as well as the keeping of more animals than the three currently allowed by city code that came within inches of becoming law in March of this year, appears to be in some kind of limbo. After it was tabled, and has not yet been rescheduled to come back before the city council, a related case recently came before the municipal court.

Jimi Hendrix, considered by many to be the greatest guitarist ever, once said of his craft, “Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you’ll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you’ll be rewarded.”
