BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to NRS 445B.275, the Air Pollution Control Hearing Board (Hearing Board) must consist of seven members who are not employees of the State or any political subdivision of the State. One member must be a licensed attorney, another must be a licensed professional engineer, and a third must be a general engineering contractor or general building contractor. The other four are lay member positions that do not require a professional license. The term of each appointment is three years. The positions are voluntary appointments with no compensation.
Three lay member terms expired on October 16, 2026; additionally, one lay member position had been vacant since July 2024. The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the appointments of Donald Bordelove, Troy Hildreth, Amy Lahav, and Mary Wagner on October 20; however, Wagner relinquished the position due to unforeseen circumstances. Staff therefore recommends the appointment of either Ryan Talley or James Thomas to the Hearing Board as a new lay member for a three-year term, commencing on November 17, 2026, and ending on November 16, 2029.
