BACKGROUND:
On August 16, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved $5,406,600 in Recovery Funds to expand the County’s 9 1 1 system by creating additional networks and interfaces separate from existing dispatch operations. Subsequently, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) identified an opportunity to co locate police and fire 9 1 1 services with Clark County Fire, City of Las Vegas Fire, and City of North Las Vegas Police and Fire. Co location is anticipated to improve the 9 1 1 caller experience and increase operational efficiency and response times across the region. On December 19, 2023, the BOCC approved an additional $16,000,000 in Recovery Funds to construct a joint communication facility. Based on the County’s share of required police and fire workstations, an additional $4,414,316 was allocated on 8/19/2025 by the BOCC allocated, bringing the County’s total obligation to $25,820,916 for the construction of the project. As part of the construction interlocal agreement, construction funds cannot be released until all jurisdictions execute a shared facility operating agreement.
Key terms of the operating interlocal agreement include:
• LVMPD will maintain and operate the joint communication facility.
• Operating costs will include utilities, maintenance, custodial, and landscape services.
• Clark County’s allocation of operating costs will be based on a combination of the number of workstations assigned and call volume.
• The proposed operating budget will be provided to each jurisdiction prior to the January of the preceding fiscal year.
• The agreement term is50 years.
