live from las vegas it's time for fox5 news at 11. a major vote is approved for more cops... as part of an effort to stop terrorism. but -- it will come at a cost. " we need an nfl team here, all it's going to do is blow up las vegas the way it should be. we're just waiting for the final gavel to go down in carson city " the push to build an n-f-l stadium in las vegas took a big step today. we'll tell you what's next in the road to the raiders. u-n-l-v plans to spend 50-thousand dollars... to make changes to the "hey reb" mascot. why u-n-l-v's president says it needed to be done... and we hear from students about the changes. this is fox5 news at 11. local las vegas. but first -- we start with breaking news tonight. a person is shot twice during an argument.

around seven tonight -- near valley view and pennwood -- just south of sahara. police say the victim was shot once in the chest and once in the leg... and expected to live. no word yet on if police have arrested anyone. more terrorism equals more cops. just one of the reasons sheriff joe lombardo continued his push today for more police on our streets. i'm christine maddela. i'm john huck. it was a big day for the little- known "southern nevada tourism infrastructure committee". its members took major votes on both the proposed stadium and raising taxes for more cops! that's where we begin.. fox5's cyndi lundeberg joins us now live on the strip to explain how much in taxes .. and why a tourism committee was even involved. the proposal known as the "clark county crime prevention act of 2016" is specifically aimed at stopping terrorism in our busiest tourist corridors.. it will now make it way to the clark county comissioners.. and then eventually a

vote. the clark county crime prevention act of 2016... looks to put more officers along the strip.. and downtown along fremont... sisolak- its a different world we live in when it comes to terrorist threats and to making people feel safe according to the proposal .. clark county is growing by three to four thousand people a month along with record number of tourists ... and police staffing hasn't kept up. sisolak- and they want a visual presense on lvbld standing patrolling making tourists feel more comfortable the cost of the new officers would come from a point one percent sales tax increase... law enforcement focus would be the strip from russell to the stratosphere... along fremont from main to north eighth .. and west on flamingo to include the gold coast and rio.. so were going from 153 to 273 present on las vegas blvd its an enormous increase sisolak- the remainder

where the sheriff thinks theyre needed the most sheriff joe lombardo presented the plan... along with maps of the targetted areas thursday. sheriff lombardo - i brought myself to the intent of the overlay to provide police service to resort corridor and addrss threat of terrorism and be able to respond the propsoal also touches on increasing crime in clark county. previously, sheriff lombardo told fox5 more officers... would help combat the recent spike in violent crime. sisolak- it will go a long way i dont think we culd ever have too many police officers sisolak- it will make progress with the staffing issues no it obiously takes aot more to solve everything boulder city... henderson... north las vegas... mesquite and metro police would all be a part of the plan. for comissioner steve sisolak... it's a no brainer. sisolak- i think youre goin to notice more officers not the one percent in sales tax the clark county crime prevention act now goes to the county commission. they will hold a public hearing and debate the proposal before a final vote. reporting live cl ffnnll

nfl stadium proposal was voted on today .. and when the committee asked the sheriff about staffing the games... he said the money to pay for those officers would not come from his budget... it would be up to the team to pay the officers. now more on the stadium proposal. the same committee unanimously approved it... which means we are a step closer to a professional football team in las vegas. the stadium will cost nearly two point billion dollars. 750-million of that will come from public funding... which will be financed by a hotel room tax. it also includes infrastructu raiders would contribute 500- million dollars. today's vote was a big step for stadium supporters... but for the stadium to become reality and the raiders to become the home team, there are still a few obstacles ahead. next up, state lawmakers have to get on board, and the clock is ticking. touchdown, raiders september 15... the committee gave the stadium proposal plan the green

headed to the governor's desk in carson city. (peplowski) you still have a tough road, you still have to get to the legislature and get them to agree that public funding is a good idea, particularly in a state where the public is so anti- taxation and anti- govt spending so governor sandoval will decide when to call a special session, but that decision is less football, more political... when they get called into special session, for the next 30 days they can't raise any money and 42 of these 63 are up for re-election can't fundraise before or after the special session, so that's problematic around november eighth- election day. the gov could hold off until just a day or two before the election, or even after, but if he does it after, there's agoing to be a brand new legislature at that special session voting. and that's also cutting it close because the developers then have to put together a proposal to the oakland raiders before the n-f-l owners vote for a team relocation. that happens in mid- january. 24 of the 32 team owners would have to vote for the oakland raiders to become the las vegas raiders.

the nfl can start working on the vote in january, if we vote for this vote in november, the nfl can say, well, let's wait and see what happens. but i think they'll understand the politics of it there is a possibility the state lawmakers could decide they don't want to be a part of the process, and send the vote back to the committee for a decision. and to stay in the know about all the developments with the n-f-l stadium... download the fox five app. hey reb fans may soon be in for a big surprise... the university is looking for a brand update which could mean an expensive makeover for 'hey reb!'. unlv president len jessup says this is done every 10 years or so... and its about time to change reb's image. fox5's miguel martinez valle spoke to unlv students and hey reb himself, and miguel... some aren't happy with the image change.. well if you remember last year there was some controversy about people finding the mascot offensive or insensative... the makeover is looking to address these issues... but some unlv fans think hey reb is perfect just the way he is. < nat of reb>

makeover... and like any big change... opinions are mixed... " this is the original unlv , the rebel, the mascot everything... thats what were known for... " " i wouldn't mind seeing a change either if it made some more people happy... it would be something new and fresh." unlv's president len jessup says universities change branding every 10 years or so... so 'hey reb' was due for a new look... jessup: " we will do the refreshing in a way that we make sure anyone with the conotations that some people felt the prior images had..." but the traits some people found offensive, others say are meant to represent a nevadan rebel.. not a confederate soldier.. " the whole kinda the musket.. frontier guy... as a nevadan we are kinda we were a part of the wild west we were frontier." i sat down with a man who knows 'hey reb' better than most... jersey goldman spent six years around the suit... and even was 'hey reb' for a while. ". i would love for hey reb to be here forever..."

look is ok.. you might remember unlv used to have this mascot before changing to 'hey reb'.. " whether it be getting a little clip of the mustach, maybe a better hat... once in a while i am ok with that... you always want your brother to look good." i know you're asking ... what's changing?! well ... we don't know yet.. but its safe to assume a new outfit, or a haircut won't take the rebel spirit out of 'hey reb'. " it's something that has been around for so long, you can't just get rid of it... i mean really are they gonna go and change our colors to blue and silver... no." jessup: " we are rebels, we challenge the status quo, were proud of it" reb will get his own makeover team... the university is forming a committee of people both on and off campus looking at that future image... does the university have a timeline for this change? the rebranding is scheduled to be launched in october... just in time for the presidential
