Concerning Revised Council Powers Regarding Boards and Commissions The Clark County Charter Review Commission adopted Resolution No. 26-23 proposing an amendment to the Clark County Home Rule Charter, concerning revised Council powers regarding boards and commissions.

Should this amendment be:

A “Yes” vote means

The County Council would share authority with the County Manager to nominate members to boards and commissions, except the Ethics Review Commission.

A “No” vote means

Nominations to boards and commissions would stay as the current charter provides.

Official plain English statement

The Clark County Charter Review Commission proposes an expansion of the County Council’s authority to concurrently nominate members to certain boards and commissions—excluding the Ethics Review Commission. The amendment revises Section 2.4.H of the Home Rule Charter to allow the council to share nomination power with the County Manager, while retaining final appointment authority.
