Impact analysis
The city and fire district can't be charged for the working group; a self-funded utility could eventually add franchise fees and tax revenue to city coffers.
If adopted, the district would give the city control over electric service in the logistics district.

City Council - Apr 1, 2026
Mark IV wants the city to form a municipal power utility serving the Victory Logistics District, running on natural gas with about 99.9% reliability. Supporters say it brings jobs, revenue and power years ahead of NV Energy; council wants cost protections and fire district input before adopting an ordinance in June.
