12/7/2021 Clark County Board of Commissioners Approved

Agenda note: DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, it was moved by Commissioner Jim Gibson and carried by unanimous vote that the recommendation (including the appointments of John Hiatt and Brian Patterson to serve three-year terms from December 7, 2021 to November 14, 2024) be approved.

Following the motion, Commissioner Kirkpatrick advised of speaking with the State Wildlife Board to focus on the placement of habitats that would allow animals access to water; and requested quarterly reports from the Advisory Board for the upcoming year.

Commissioner Gibson advised that the shooting contest was not supported by the Advisory Board as that Board did not feel that rule-making was warranted; a hearing had been held by the Advisory Board to discuss the allowance of fishing at Wetlands Park but a decision had not been reached; there were issues that affected both residents and wildlife; and qualifications were in the statutes regarding the selection of Advisory Board members.

BACKGROUND: 

NRS 501.260 establishes a Clark County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife (CCABMW) consisting of five or seven members. The current CCABMW consists of seven members who serve in an advisory capacity to the Nevada State Board of Wildlife Commissioners by soliciting and evaluating local opinion on matters relating to the management of wildlife in Clark County and the State of Nevada. Pursuant to NRS 501.265 through 501.275, the Board of County Commissioners appoints qualified persons to the CCABMW.

Due to Vice Chair John Michael Reese’s and Board Member Molly DiBlasi’s terms expiring, there are two vacancies on the CCABMW.  The vacancies and a request for applications were advertised and posted on the Clark County website from September 14 - October 14, 2021.  The seven qualified individuals listed above have applied for the two vacancies and are interested in being appointed as board members of the CCABMW.
